Strongest Mage with the Lust system-Novel

289 War Blood race

After her voice fell, no one tried to bid anymore since spending so many Mana stones on an ordinary grade three weapon they could buy in around 30,000 in the market would be deemed stupid.

As Siana waited for the people to raise the bid. In-room number 2 on the third floor, Rima giggled and said, "Max, it seems she has many pursuers." When she said this, Leticia and Belen stared at him intently.

Max's lips twitched when he heard this and saw Belen and Leticia's reaction. He said in a low voice that only she could hear, "It seems I need to punish you properly when we get back."

Rima's face flushed red when she heard this and understood what he meant by 'punish'. However, she didn't back down, looked into his eyes and said, "I'll wait for it." After saying this, she turned her blushing face away from him and stopped speaking.

Leticia and Belen were puzzled by her reaction for a moment before they guessed what he might have said for her to react like this, and they looked at Rima enviously.

Meanwhile, in room 23 on the second floor. A group of four were sitting in the chair, sipping tea. A man around the age of 30 was sitting in the middle with an Elvin servant on his lap. He had an eye-catching blood-red mark on his forehead, which gave him a devilish vibe.

If any ordinary person saw him, they wouldn't find anything strange apart from that mark on his forehead. However, if those who had some knowledge saw him, they would know that despite looking like a human, he wasn't one.

He was from a race called the 'War Blood race.' The people of this race looked just like humans. Their only distinguishing feature was the blood-red mark on their forehead.

"Young master, I think you shouldn't squander money like this. If the master finds out about this, he will be angry. Moreover, I hope y-you will try to maintain a distance from miss Siana. She isn't the one to be trifled with." A middle-aged man, who also had the same red mark, sitting slightly behind him said. When he mentioned Siana, his voice trembled in fear. It was clear he was wary of her.

"I know. I'm not going to offend her. Don't worry." The 'young master' replied nonchalantly as his hands moved us and down the Elvin servant's body, feeling her up while his eyes were trained on Siana.

The middle-aged man and his companion could only shake their heads helplessly at this. They knew he wasn't going to heed their advice.

...

Siana waited for a while before she announced, "Since there isn't any higher bid, congratulations, guests in room number 23, for successfully acquiring this item." Saying this, she flicked her finger to one of the four people standing behind her and said, "Elder, please deliver this to room number 23 and receive the payment."

"Yes, miss." The old lady grabbed the spear and jumped down the platform, and headed toward the second floor while the auction continued.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the next item is one of the most mysterious items that ever we auctioned in our auction house. Please take a good look at this." Siana announced with a smile. However, she didn't rush to reveal it and waited for a few moments.

"Mysterious item? What could it be?"

"I heard that only those items that the auction house can't identify but are extraordinary can be called mysterious by them. I hadn't expected to come across such an item."

"If that's the case, I don't think many people will be interested in it. We should try obtaining it. Who knows, maybe it will be something useful for us."

"Hehe, you aren't the only one to think like this. Many will bid in the same hopes. So, if you want to buy it, prepare to fork out at least a few ten thousand Mana stones more than the minimum bid."

"We'll see that later. Let's first see what it is that not even the Greenwave auction house can identify."

"Miss Siana, don't keep us in suspense. Please show what this mysterious item is."

"..."

Everyone's interest was piqued after hearing the description from Siana. Many in the crowd became impatient and started asking for the item to be revealed.

Siana smiled in satisfaction upon seeing this. This was the reaction she wanted. She then waved her hand, and with a golden flash, an elliptical-shaped object appeared above her hand.

Everyone, including Max and the company, the people from the war blood race and others in the guest rooms looked at the object with interest.

The object hovering above her palm looked like a golden 'rock' with some dark patches near the top of it. Apart from this, there was nothing extraordinary about it.

"This... is this rock the mysterious item?"

"Is the auction house trying to trick us into spending our Mana stones on this rock?"

Everyone was dumbfounded. No matter how they looked at it, it looked completely ordinary. Siana had an indifferent expression upon hearing these comments.

Meanwhile, In guest room 2...

"Belen, do you recognise this golden rock?" Leticia asked Belen after glancing at the rock. Rima and Max also turned to look at her.

Belen shook her head and smiled wryly, "No, I don't."

"If even you don't know it, then it shouldn't be anything extraordinary. It seems the auction house is indeed trying to trick people." Leticia scoffed.

Hearing this, the servant girls frowned, clearly displeased. The servant girl who was previously conversing with them said, "Dear guest, our auction house has a very good reputation in the kingdom for being honest and upright. So, please avoid making such comments."

Leticia was displeased by her words, and just when she was about to lash out, Belen chimed in, "She is right, Leticia. Although this golden rock seems ordinary, it might be some kind of treasure. You should know that the knowledge I have is limited. There are countless things that I'm unaware of."

"Hmm. In any case, this rock is useless since we don't know what is it." Leticia nodded, and after glaring at the servant girl last time, she turned to look at the auction platform.

Although Max was slightly interested in that rock since it might turn out to be something valuable, he didn't intend to bid and waste his Mana stones in case it was something useless. However, just then, the system's surprised voice rang in his ears.
