A Girl Who Was Told 'You Have No Talent' Turned Out To Be A Talented Monster-Chapter 118.2
The Douglade Ruins were not only a goal to conquer for the adventurers, but also for the Nobles. It was first discovered and explored by Yggdrasia, and was thought to have been thoroughly checked by them.
Recently, however, the situation had changed drastically. A party of 1st rank adventurers, the Blue Companions, had discovered an even deeper level.
Thanks to the discovery, the true vastness of the ruins had been revealed. Since then, it was believed that many mysteries and artifacts of the civilization that once flourished in this land had been lying dormant to be discovered.
“Well! The auction is finally drawing to a close! Shall we see the main attraction at the end? Come on, let’s get going!” (King)
“Oh, yes! Hello everyone, nice to meet you. I, Habarac, am what you might call a noble. I have been a count, and was in this position for a long time.” (Seller)
“Well, let’s stop with the greetings and get down to business…” (King)
“Oh, I’m sorry. Well, in short, I also wanted to participate in the search for the Douglade ruins. But it would be boring if I just did so. So, here it is. I will personally hire the successful bidder of this item.”
Habarac was a well-known aristocrat in the country. However, no one understood his intention to hire the person who went to the trouble of making the winning bid.
Despite the crowd, a stand with a sword in its scabbard appeared.
“This item here is the Moses Edge! Many of you may recognize it as an excellent sword that can cut things that have no substance, that is, things that have no form. As you know, the Douglade ruins is a difficult place to approach due to a vicious sandstorm. That is also the reason why its exploration was delayed…well, enough about that. Because it is such a difficult place to explore, I want to hire the best possible person. Competence, of course, but wealth will also be a criterion for evaluation. So let’s begin…” (Habarac)
A pompous Habarac uttered the starting bid.
“One hundred million.” (Bidder 1)
Some of the participants muttered to themselves, “Stupid…this amount of money on top of the fact that we don’t even know if Moses Edge is real or not.”
Combined with Habarac’s verbose narration, few people continued to bid.
“One hundred and fifty million!” (Bidder 2)
“One hundred and fifty-two million!” (Bidder 3)
“Oh my, that’s not much. How can I say this…?” (Habarac)
Habarac’s comments, which could be seen as a provocation, aroused the crowd’s antipathy. Many of them looked at Ennely, thinking, “This is the time for you to come in.”
But Ennely just nodded her head and didn’t move. A man nearby, annoyed, poked Ennely.
“Ennely, is that a fake?” (Random Merchant)
“Hmm?” (Ennely)
“Hey, hey, you usually give us so much advice. Can’t you tell?” (Random Merchant)
“Well, it’s a fake, you know?” (Ennely)
“If that’s the case, you should talk to the old man right away.” (Random Merchant)
“Hmm… I am still wondering what I should do…” (Ennely)
Ennely’s inexplicable reaction irritated the man. The merchants like him usually hated Ennely to the point of provocation, but only at times like this would they rely on her.
Ennely suddenly said, “Hmm, I’ve made up my mind!”
“What…?” (Habarac)
“That’s a Wing Edge, not the Moses Edge. It deserves six million at most.” (Ennely)
“Wi, Wing Edge?” (Habarac)
Habarac was not a bad guy, although he was a little difficult to deal with. But to Ennely, his personality was irrelevant.
