When Henry was about to reach the exit, he looked at the manager who was walking beside him. “Alright, I won’t make trouble again. Can you please let me stay in the auction?” “You ruin my reputation, Lord Henry. Your shoes don’t work.” “I am honest. Do you think I would gladly go on stage to prove my point if the shoes don’t work?” The manager glanced at him. “The proof is there. Your shoes don’t work. I do not care about the rest.” “You’re very calm for someone who just had…

“Going once! Going twice! Sold! We will deliver the item to you when the auction ends!” Aldred felt excited and worried at the same time. “Mary, we got the item.” Mary nodded rapidly. Blood rushed in her heart. 28,000 gold coins. It was either do or die now. If velobra sold less than that, they’d be damned. “Our next item is a magical pill created by a Platinum Ranked magic alchemist. Let me emphasize the word magic for you all! The cart revealed a glass container filled with white beautiful…

“4,000 Gold coins!” “4,100 Gold coins!” “4,200 Gold coins!” Mary looked at Aldred and whispered. “Should we buy this armor?” “Do we have enough money?” “An enslaved giant velobra is almost never seen before, and it’s very powerful too. I am sure Nicky will be bid at high prices.” Suddenly, the man beside them placed their bid. “Oh, the VIP section bid for the first time! 5,000 Gold coins!” Mary took a deep breath. That was 83 years worth of labor. The concept of money…

Aldred entered the hallway. A lady gave them a black robe, a mask, a sign, and what seemed to be a quill. “Please wear this before you enter the hall,” the lady said. “What is this for?” “To keep the auction fair and just, we would like everyone to wear disguises. If you would like to bid, you can use this quill and sign to write the amount. Please try not to speak as someone can track you with your voice alone.” “I understand.” They wore the black robe that covered their entire body…

Bartrem booked more than a dozen rooms for everyone. The inn was quite big, and it seemed to receive an upgrade only recently. “The owner of this inn is smart. They know a lot of people will come to this place, and so they upgrade the inn immediately,” Mary said as they walked to their room. “Also, unlike the nice villagers earlier, this inn is so expensive.” “How much money do we have left?” Mary bitterly smiled. “Only a couple of silvers.” “Thankfully, we can just hunt something for…

After a few days of traveling, and rotating the map a bunch of times because they were unsure where they headed to, the caravan finally saw the legendary Mount Fargon. It was a towering scale of rocks that went beyond the clouds and casted a wide shade upon the land. Aldred looked with amazement. Such height, such scale. He was reminded again that he as a human being was merely a speck of dust in comparison. “What a mountain,” Aldred said. “This is my first time seeing it, even though I heard so…

“So what do we do now?” Aldred asked. “Bacon guided us this way because he said he knew a shortcut, but now he’s dead.” “I still cannot believe that he betrayed us,” Bartrem said. “He said something about that ring you wear. What is it?” “The empress gave it to me. She said I must not use it unless it’s necessary.” Bartrem turned silent and did not pry for more information. Since the empress gave it to him, then there was nothing that needed to be asked, although he was slightly…

‘Tell me more about the undead form, first.’ ‘What about the real form?’ ‘And the crazed form?’ ‘That’s good. If I can turn the undead into the real form, they can pretend to be soldiers, and people won’t be scared or weirded out.’ Aldred told the undead to disappear except for the new arrival. The three of them bowed with the female magician in the center. “We are here to serve you, master,’ the magician said. “What is your name?” “My name is Bella,…

“You betrayed us!” Bacon laughed. “You’re wrong. I planned for this to happen the moment I saw your ring.” “My ring?” Aldred looked at his left hand. “Yes, that ring. At first, I simply wanted to kill you and take the ring, but after seeing your ability, I changed my mind. You will be my slave, and whenever we kill a powerful monster, you will turn them into an undead which will work for us. But I’m not stupid. I will put something on your neck, so should you want to betray me, you’d…

Today, Aldred found out something new. Apparently, his undead could be killed, but they would revive after a few seconds. Though this limitation sucks, at least his undead would not reduce no matter how many times they were killed. It would be sad if Milet was killed. He was his only Gold Rank undead. Though another one would be added right now. “Arise.” Black mist formed around the corpses. At first, the mist was pushed fiercely, but it violently engulfed the corpse. Soon after, a huge leg stepped…
