"These bones come from a younger greater ice imp. The adventurers that hunted this monster had some trouble but managed to prevail and bring back the bones just for this auction. The starting price will be nine hundred gold!" This price was more than what they expected. "Well I am glad it's not another discount." Gil breathed a sigh of relief.

With the agreement not to bid they all turned their attention back to the auction. The four military officers bid on the potions edging out any competition. They had all started to talk to a fast extent when they were presents. This was one of the main things that they had been sent to the auction to gain.

"Alice says not to worry about it, she would prefer to talk to you in her own way. She feels bad that I would have to work to translate. But miss. Alice I do not mind at all. But I will respect what you want." Onyx went silent at this, it seemed like he had gotten a small talking to from Alice in their minds. It was only fair that Alice had always wanted to speak with her own voice and did not want anyone else speaking for here. This made Walker a bit sad knowing that she would not be letting Onyx talk…

"High priest, how fortunate we are to see you here. I am surprised that you have brought some young adventurers with you this time." Markus had assumed that these were guests of the high priest when they had all entered. "Actually it is the opposite, today I am the guest. These young ones made an offer to bring me along and I just could not refuse. What can I say I am easily tempted." He laughed a bit showing his charisma. Markus was caught with surprise; he had not ever expected them to have a ticket…
