BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1197 Famous At The Auction II
"What are you guys doing! Lower your weapons!" A familiar voice that Adrian knows shouted towards the mercenaries.
The mercenaries immediately lowered their weapons upon hearing the command of that voice. Adrian knows that voice as it is from the person that helped him get the things he wants. He is also the only person that has a branch of the Merchant Association in Avalon.
"Piggy Bank! I was a bit in a rush, so I teleported inside immediately. Thank goodness you were able to find me immediately when I only sent the message late." Adrian stated.
"It might be a rush, but you are an important person in the eyes of the Merchant Association. Also, can you tone down your aura a bit? It might make weak people faint." Piggy Bank stated as even he feels immense pressure just standing next to Adrian.
"I guess powerful players are indeed different from others that focus on economy classes. Still, he is the reason I am what I am today! Do not worry! I shall make sure that Avalon will not be corrupted by those incredibly insidious and greedy merchants!" Piggy Bank thought to himself.
"Is that so? I usually polymorph myself to hide but that consumes mana. I should just change to my other form." Adrian replied as he changed to his Aetheros Form.
The heavy pressure that Adrian gave when he was in his Netheros form suddenly vanished. The heavy and choking pressure is changed to that of a feeling of lightness and clear headedness. Everyone actually felt better for some reason and the noisy street of the free city suddenly became quiet as they inhaled this feeling.
When Piggy Bank saw this, he was even more amazed of this feat. The loud and disorderly street of the Free City of Mercado actually went quiet, and it is due to one person. Even the crying baby that was in a cradle of a hustling mother soundly fell asleep.
"It seems this form is well suited for the event now. Let us go." Adrian stated which woke up Piggy Bank from his shock.
"Let us go! We still need to appraise the items that you want for sale." Piggy Bank stated as he led the way with his guards.
They left the street with the people clamoring that they have seen a god descend. Adrian unknowingly increased the faith of the NPCs as they asked who he was. The players trying to haggle for prices told them that he was the Champion of the Twin Gods from the Church of the Twin Gods.
[The Twin Gods are happy that you are now actively promoting the faith.]
"Weird? Did I do something like that?" Adrian thought as he read the sudden notification.

Adrian went to the appraiser with Piggy Bank and the latter was shocked by the things the former want auctioned. A class change item that also has a job class change ticket at the same time is incredibly rare. One would say that this is the rarest of all the Mythical Tier items that Piggy Bank has seen.
"Where did you get such items?" Piggy Bank asked.
"Oh! I got them from my recent battle. We should thank Seam and White for these items." Adrian replied with a smile which made Piggy Bank\'s jaw drop.
"He is not evil right? From the way he uses all of his abilities for good in the game…that should not be the case, right?" Piggy Bank thought to himself as he could see that Adrian\'s smile is genuine.
"Is there a problem if I sell them?" Adrian asked.
"It is not a problem as players often do this, but they will know that you sold them. Are you not afraid that they might want revenge?" Piggy Bank asked as he is a bit worried about Adrian.
"I am a bit afraid that they might want revenge. I might be afraid but at least I will be rich and afraid." Adrian replied which resonated with Piggy Bank.
"You are right! It is better to be afraid and rich! You really do speak to my soul! I will make sure that you get the highest price for the Mythical tier item at least." Piggy Bank stated as he also handed out the sales for Adrian\'s talismans.
"I shall go to my seat then. My friends are waiting for me to be there." Adrian stated.
"We shall meet after the auction then." Piggy Bank stated as Adrian left the appraising area.
The auction area provided to players are not as grand as an auction area that is given when powerful NPCs are present. They are only given a stadium like area with the big players being in the lowest row. All the top guilds representatives are present in the lower box while players of middle guilds are in the middle row.
The segregation might be apparent but in the Free City the only thing that talks is money. There might be some special cases such as Adrian as he creates steady profit and is also a territory owner. When Adrian entered the auction area, the chattering noises suddenly stopped as all of them focused on him.
The gazes that Adrian received are a mix of admiration, hatred and envy. He did not care about gazes such as this as he is already used to them whenever he accompanies his father in high society gatherings. The only relief that Adrian saw in this room full of unwanted gazes are the call of his friends.
When Adrian saw Creepysoo waving to him to sit with him, Adrian showed a small smile. He did not waste time and even used Enhanced Blink to suddenly appear in front of them. The ones present in the auction are Creepysoo, Peridot, Solstice and Lycan.
Levin Cloud and Kabrakan are doing a mission in a different world which is why they cannot be contacted. The father and daughter duo, Vayu and Soleil, are in Alfheim doing training with the Elemental Spirit Kings as they have reached a bottleneck in their elemental manipulation.
