BXBX NOVEL Chapter 439 Give It To Me!
"Hello, Master Crevian, is that you?" Nial asked in a slow voice as the memories of his family and friends getting torn apart reappeared in his mind.
His mother\'s death, and the death of his master were still fresh in his mind, and so were the Nightmares that had been haunting him whenever he fell asleep.
He sighed inwardly as he impatiently waited to receive an answer from the other side of the Messenger Crystal.
"Yes it\'s me. How have you been, Nial? I hope you are doing fine and advancing quickly," Master Crevian\'s familiar voice reached Nial\'s ears and he calmed down visibly.
Master Crevian didn\'t sound hurried, in pain, or desperate. That was very good to know.
"I\'m doing fine, though I am slowly getting impatient," Nial revealed before he stopped the small talk.
"Why did you give me a call? Without reason, you wouldn\'t use Origin crystals to call me!" Nial suddenly spoke bluntly and the young Original could clearly tell that the Old Elf was not comfortable with the sudden change of the situation.
"The human Originals from Jundra started to get in contact with other races, including Angels, Demon, Dwarves…and other humans," Master Crevian said before he took a pause and continued talking once again, "The humans from other planets have influenced your people the most and it looks like their armies are on their way towards the Forest of Life!"
Nial listened carefully and he took a deep breath after digesting the news.
"So what do you want me to do? Fight against the humans from other planets?" Nial was pretty sure that Master Crevian didn\'t ask for that but he might also be mistaken.
"I just wanted to inform you that it\'s possible for problems to occur between our races. You are free to do whatever you want, but the beings from Jundra would suffer the most the moment the Elven races and other human races were to start fighting. The native humans are simply too weak!" Master Crevian explained.
Nial frowned deeply and he took some time to reply.
\'My dad would suffer the most if war were to break out. I have to go back, whether it\'s to fight or to prevent warfare from erupting…\' Nial thought, understanding very well that Master Crevian\'s scheming was working out as desired.
"Are some races, including other humans, coming over with some armies, or did a fight already break out?" Nial enquire to make sure that he understood the current situation properly.
However, before Master Crevian answered him, Nial heard something else.
"Congratulations to Number 152 for winning the bid. May the Swirl of Chaos ability crystal bring great fortune upon you!" The Auctioneer\'s voice boomed through the wide colosseum as he grinned from ear to ear.
He had made a big fortune by selling the ability crystal for a much higher price than he had initially anticipated.
Nonetheless, the Auctioneer understood very well that the tension in the Colosseum was way too high.
"The main attraction of today\'s Alliance Auction has been auctioned successfully but the auction is not yet done. Let\'s welcome the heavenly treasures that have waited for a very long time for your arrival!" The Auctioneer was trying his best but one could easily see that his eyes were quivering as they moved from one direction to another.
The Auctioneer\'s gaze flicked towards the more than six different private lounges with worry as things had gotten far more interesting, especially when the group of Heligav left their private lounge without caring about hiding their identity or the fact that they were exhilarated about their purchase.
A few more beings had chosen to leave their private lounges and the killing intent and deadly glares that were directed at the Heligav made it clear as to what was going on.
"A Brawl? I should definitely join them!" Nial muttered to himself before switching his attention back to his call with Master Crevian to make sure that everything was fine.
But before Nial could do that Ryu had appeared next to him. The wingless Gryphon chirped out in joy and he pulled Nial closer to the stage of the Alliance Auction.
They were still inside the private lounge but Nial didn\'t want to focus on the auction for the time being. However, due to Ryu\'s interference, he averted his attention to the stage of the auction where he perceived the setting with his Mana Sense which intrigued him quite a bit.
"Pure Darkness Essence?" Nial asked, baffled and Ryu chirped out in the agreement, overjoyed that Nial finally found what he had been looking for.
"The Darkness Myphelia is a heavenly treasure that is found in the Caves of Lyveria, on Darkyl. If you don\'t know what this small crystal is capable of, allow me to give you a short introduction!" The Auctioneer spoke carefully and in a composed way. He could see hundreds of Auction participants, who left the Colosseum with the exact same goal in mind.
This was worrisome, to put it simply but it was not in the Auctioneer\'s jurisdiction.
\'Just let them fight if they want to. We can just continue earning a huge fortune!\' He thought, confident that they would make a big fortune even if many Originals had left the auction.
"1 Billion contribution points!"
Silence swept all over the Colosseum and everyone turned subconsciously in the direction of Nial\'s private lounge. In their opinion, he had hastily bid one billion contribution points without further listening to the description of the Darkness Myphelia, a treasure that looked just like a normal crystal.
However, Nial and Ryu could tell that the Darkness Myphelia housed Pure Darkness Essence.
Ryu sensed that the Darkness Myphelia was something which might allow him to evolve his bloodline, or unleash the hidden Ancient Bloodline he harbored inside his body.
Nial didn\'t want to waste any time as he wanted to join the Brawl and possibly get his hands on the Swirl of Chaos.
Thus, the bid he made before the Darkness Myphelia had been introduced properly was high enough to scare away the other potential buyers.
"Sir, I apologize but I\'m not yet done introducing the treasure…" The Auctioneer tried to cut in but Nial couldn\'t care less.
"Either you accept the offer, or I will take your leave without it. Others won\'t pay the price I offered!" He thundered while giving the remaining participants the opportunity to retort him.
However, nobody said anything, which was enough for Nial to continue.
"See, nobody wants it. Hand it over," Nial spoke calmly and he transferred his contribution points to the account that was linked to the Alliance Auction.
"If Sir wishes to receive the Darkness Myphelia, you may get it," The Auctioneer said, giving up trying to argue with Nial. He knew that one billion contribution points were too much of a price to pay for the Darkness Myphelia. Thus, it was fine for the buyer to act a little bit rude.
He had just let himself be scammed, after all.
Of course, Nial didn\'t think that was the case but the Auctioneer did not have to be concerned about it.
\'Now the Guild hall…I hope they have enough Origin crystals for me to buy!\' Nial thought while accessing the Guild hall\'s shops and services. He messaged them and transferred over 14 billion contribution coins to buy as many high quality Origin crystals as possible.
\'I feel like a madman…\' Nial almost blurted out when he accepted the Darkness Myphelia that had been brought to his private lounge. Without giving it much thought, Nial handed the Darkness Myphelia to Ryu, who gobbled it down without hesitation.
"That\'s how you burn money!" Nial laughed through his pain as he visualized the way Ryu gobbled down the entire Darkness Myphelia as if it was some light afternoon snack.
He hoped that Ryu would evolve soon but the chances were quite slim.
Nial hoped the best for the wingless Gryphon but there were other things he had to pay more attention to.
"Let\'s leave. We have a lot to do!" Nial reminded his small team and both Ryu and the little Oracle squealed.
The little Oracle had been observing the proceedings with a boring look because the Alliance Auction hadn\'t been to her liking.
Nial hadn\'t expected the little girl to like the Alliance Auction so he didn\'t really care about her mood.
However, what he actually cared about was collecting lots of Origin crystals from the Guild hall.
He had to empower the teleportation device and make sure that his other plan would work out.
After all, he wanted to get his hands on the Swirl of Chaos…and that would definitely not be easy.
