Huotian kept glancing at Mo Xie, he can tell that the both of them are young, but with Mo Xie's face fully covered, he couldn't really grasp his real age.
"You new to this Kingdom of ours?" (Huotian.)
Mo Xie nodded and replied: "Yes."
[This guy... His skills with socialization are none existent...] (Huotian's thought)
The two of them became silent, there are four maids serving the two of them, the two are serving them some wine while the other two are sat beside them, Huotian's maid is feeding him with some fruits, while in Mo Xie's side, she couldn't do anything but just sit beside him due to his face fully covered.
[Sir, would you like some fruits?] (Mo Xie's serving maid.)
She was tasked to serve Mo Xie with everything she has, but with Mo Xie's current appearance, she couldn't even do a single thing, hence, she tried to ask.
Mo Xie looked at the maid and then moved his gaze at Huotian.
Huotian saw this and couldn't help but chuckle; "Don't worry, they are my personal servants."
He paused for a bit before adding; "I swear in the name of the s.h.i.+ Clan that all of the things happened inside here will never go out to the public, if it ever does, I will cut my own hands."
Mo Xie sighed, he looked at the maid and replied: "Please."
After that, he removed his mask, his appearance caused Huotian and the servants to be quite shocked. His face is incredibly handsome to behold.
"Brother, where are you from?" (Huotian)
"I`m not from here, just a visitor." Mo Xie spoke.
Before he removed his mask, he already altered his appearance to that of a more mature face of his, someone that looks like a 24-year-old young man.
"Since you don't want to open it up, I won't pursue further." Huotian smiled at Mo Xie as he returned back to waiting for the auction to start.
And exactly at this moment, another old man went to the stage with two a.s.sistants.
"Ladies and gentlemen! The auction will start now! A total of ten items will be auctioned today!" The old man smiled as he looked at everyone and continued.
"Let us begin the auction!"
Everyone's attention was immediately drawn towards the stage, the old man then initiates the starts of the auction; "The first item is one of the greatest items our auction has possessed through all of our previous ones!"
"Ehh? Why is it the first item to be sold then?" (A Random VIP)
"Fufufu." The old man chuckles and added; "Because there are two of them!"
Hearing this, everyone became excited, there are two treasures today! With antic.i.p.ation in their eyes.
"The first item was brought here by an anonymous cultivator, we have no knowledge about it, but our guess is that he came from the Soaring Blaze Phoenix Empire!" The old man spoke with confidence in his tone.
"The Soaring Blaze Phoenix Empire..." A lot of people started to make some concepts about it immediately.
The strongest, and greatest Empire within the human continent, an item coming from there will definitely attract a lot of attention.
Mo Xie opened his eyes widely, he looked at Huotian and spoke: "What is the Soaring Blaze whatever Empire?"
Huotian was shocked at first and couldn't help but gaze at Mo Xie in awe, but with that question, Huotian immediately received his answer, he then immediately replied: "Maybe it's just to boast some reputation for your item, and also not let anyone pry into your matters after the auction."
Huotian paused for a bit before continuing; "That's one way for the Auction house to protect their VIP sellers."
Mo Xie sighed as he looked at Huotian and replied: "I just hope that it wouldn't cause me more trouble than necessary."
"Kukuku, Don't worry about it, the Empire itself had permitted every auction within the three kingdoms to use their name in order to protect VVIP customers like you." (Huotian)
"VVIP?" Mo Xie asked in a bewildered manner, he knows about VIP people, but, even on his previous life, he had not heard of such a thing.
"Just an invented word to describe a person that has a higher status than a normal VIP." (Huotian)
"When have I become a VVIP..." Mo Xie uttered as he wondered.
Huotian didn't speak further, he also finds himself a little intrigued by Mo Xie's items. Sky Shattering ranked skills are a normal thing to possess, even minor clans have it, but what is special about them is the real question.
[Lucky I came here today.] A lot of people's thought is circling around this words.
"The first item is an offensive scroll, a Sky Shattering ranked skill!" The old man spoke.
"..." It became quiet suddenly as they looked at the old man in wonder.
"Wha...what's the big deal with that?" One of the VIP spoke.
"Even our Clan who's a minor figure has them, what kind of skill would that be!" Another one rebuked.
"Yeah, I was thinking that if it's a skill that came from the Soaring Blaze Phoenix Empire, the minimum should've been a Heavenly Encompa.s.sing ranked!" Another one spoke.
Yes, there are a lot of people that are starting to feel unsatisfied.
"Peak grade, Sky Shattering ranked offensive skill, Explosive Flame Spear's Pierce!" The old auctioneer spoke.
Everyone within the crowd even the VIP stared at the auctioneer in bewilderment; "Whaaaat?!"
There are limited supplies of peak-grade Sky Shattering ranked offensive skills within the Vermillion Sona Kingdom, no, not just there, but also the other three Kingdoms beneath the Soaring Blaze Phoenix Empire.
Yes, they have a Heaven Encompa.s.sing ranked skills, but most of them are for defensive and movement skills, only the royal families of each Kingdom possess such a thing. The next highest skill is a low-grade Sky Shattering ranked offensive skill.
Whoever possesses it will without a doubt have their experts soar leaps and bound.
"The surprise doesn't end there..." At this moment, the auctioneer spoke as he grinned towards the people.
"Wha..what is there other than that?" A VIP asks.
"Haha..." The auctioneer smiled as he looked at the customers, teasing them further to increase its value; "Because this skill is only a tiny bit weaker than a lower-grade Heaven Encompa.s.sing ranked offensive skill!!"
Hearing this, all of their eyes widened as fiery glow in their eyes can be seen.
"There shall be no starting price! BID TO YOUR HEART'S CONTENT!" (Auctioneer.)
