Chapter 177 King of the Unclaimed Land 3

Kaiwan egged on Yong-ho to do it quickly. Ophelia also nodded fiercely behind her back.

Although nobody asked him, Tigrius explained it to calm himself down.

“The five directors of the Dungeon Market are not just dungeon merchants. Each of them is the master of their house with their own dungeon. And apart from their Godly Energy and sin, their power is considered to be equal to the six kings.”

The difference in power caused by their possession of sin or not was very large. However, they were owners of the Dungeon Market whose five directors were said to dominate the entire commerce of the demon world. Considering their additional resources, they were strong enough to compete with the six kings in terms of their ‘forces.’

Now, one of these five directors sent an invitation directly to Yong-ho.

Thanks to Tigrius’s explanation, Catalina now understood what was going on, and she got as excited as Kaiwan and Ophelia. Even Salami looked at the invitation in Yong-ho’s hand with twinkling eyes.

With everyone so tense, Yong-ho injected mana into the invitation.

[One of the five directors of the Dungeon Market and the general manager of the auction house, Samael, who has the fastest wings, is happy to greet the master of the great House of Mammon.]

The light emitting from the end of the invitation formed Samael’s images. It was about the size of two palms put together, which seemed to be just a recorded video of her message.

“It’s not an invitation to everybody. It’s an invitation specially sent to you, Yong-ho!” Kaiwan said in excitement.

In fact, she could not help but get thrilled. Samael, one of the five directors, directly called him the master of the great House of Mammon.

Eligos was moved to tears after a long time. Catalina also flapped her ears with overwhelming emotion. She had tears welled in her eyes.

Ophelia understood Eligos and Catalina at this moment.

At last, the House of Mammon was recognized.

The House of Mammon had become the subject of great scorn after falling over a long period of time. As a result, nobody from the House of Mammon had been invited to the banquet of the demon kings in the southern area.

Joining them belatedly, Ophelia’s chest filled out. Eligos and Catalina, who had experienced hard times by themselves, had a lump in their throats, deeply moved by the invitation.

Kaiwan broke down in tears, though a little bit. Although she couldn’t make it when she was the master of the House of Mammon, she was so happy about Yong-ho’s great achievement. Besides, it was her master and lover, Yong-ho, who was formally recognized.

Samael in the video continued, [There is a special auction scheduled to be held in seven days. I hope that the master of the House of Mammon can attend the auction by all means. ]

[We will prepare all the conveniences for your visit here. If you are willing to participate, please feel free to use the summon scroll attached to the invitation. Our staffer will go and see you.]

After directly telling him the message, Samael gracefully showed her manners.

Then she said goodbye with an angelic smile.

[I look forward to seeing you again.]

The video was over.

Kaiwan asked right away, “Did she say she was looking forward to seeing you again? Have you met her before? Also five directors?”

“Yeah, a few days ago.”

After answering her question quickly, he examined the envelope a little more closely.

Indeed, there was a scroll of the same size as the invitation.

At that moment, Kaiwan hugged his arm and brought her face closer to him. She didn’t do it to express her affection but wanted him to tell more about his meeting with Samael instead of being distracted by something else.

Since Catalina and other dungeon spirits agreed with her, Yong-ho put down the invitation.

Then he puckered his lip for a moment as if to choose his words then said, “Well, I met her in a virtual space by chance. She and I were waiting for Sitri at that time.”

“Sitri? That lady of the Dungeon Market?”

Again this time, Kaiwan expressed a big interest.

Catalina and Eligos, surprised, blinked their eyes.

Yong-ho nodded and said, “Yes, you’re right. Sitri.”

She was the dungeon merchant who helped all the previous masters of the House of Mammon before they formally inaugurated. But she usually paid little attention to any other master than Kaiwan.

“Maybe Sitri is also one of the five directors.”

“Are you sure? Sitri is also a director?”

Eligos’s voice trembled. With her eyes open wide, Catalina also couldn’t say anything.

Yong-ho hesitated for a moment because Eligos and Catalina looked so groggy at the moment.

However, he decided to continue because he already opened his mouth.

This time, he revealed something more surprising.

“And Sitri is one of the women affiliated with the House of Mammon. How should I call her properly? Should I say she is my grandma?”

Eligos was completely frozen. But Catalina sprang to her feet and shouted, “That woman with red hair! The woman who always tormented Elune... Anyway, she was a witch who was one of Mammon’s lovers!”

Sitri also had red hair. Ophelia explained on behalf of Eligos, who lost his mind at the moment.

“I told you about it once before... Mammon had so many women. However, there were two special women among them. One was Elune, who was Mammon’s escort knight, and the other was a red-haired witch whose name was unknown.”

Yong-ho recalled his ancestor Kumiho or the nine-tailed fox, but he didn’t mention the name.

Kaiwan leaned her head on his shoulder and whispered, “That’s why...”

Perhaps, Kaiwan was thinking of her memories about Sitri. Given that Sitri called Kaiwan ‘a nasty but cute girl,’ they must have a pretty good relationship.

“Anyway, it’s the auction house, right?”

“I heard that the Dungeon Market Auction House was not just a place for auctions. Just like the regular banquets of the demon kings held in the southern area, it is a meeting place where the demon kings, who would never see each other normally, meet and rub shoulders.”

Regaining his composure, Tigrius explained in a quiet voice.

Ophelia also added, “It’s a place for them to relax. They can avoid conflict through direct conversation.”

“Yes, that’s right. But they were held once every few years.”

Yong-ho understood why Catalina and Eligos broke into tears.

The former master of the House of Mammon, who committed suicide because he could not bear the shame, had been totally ignored not only by other masters but also by the Dungeon Market.

So, it was natural that all of them were deeply moved when one of the five directors of the Dungeon Market, the highest executive body, recognized the House of Mammon.

However, it was natural that they were choked up with emotions because one of the five directors of the Dungeon Market recognized the House of Mammon. Perhaps, their sorrow buried deep in their hearts must have exploded.

“Does it mean that the Dungeon Market is not a typical marketplace?”

Based on the details about the Dungeon Market so far, the Dungeon Market was not obsessed with simply selling things.

Just like a government that cared about the welfare of its people, the Dungeon Market had worked in various ways for the peace and well-being of the demon world.

For example, they provided food at low prices or took measures of easing tensions, as Tigrius mentioned.

“If you want to sell something, you have to have someone to buy it. Maintaining a huge society called the demon world is also beneficial to the Dungeon Market because they can sell more in that environment,” said Ophelia.

Her answer had a point. Without demand, there was neither supply nor profit generation.

“After all, it’s money, isn’t it? Don’t we have enough money?”

Yong-ho spoke carelessly, but Ophelia responded quickly, contrary to his expectation.

“Well, you are not supposed to say it since you are the King of Greed.”

She didn’t say it just because of her merchant spirit. Yong-ho was none other than the King of Greed.

“Money, woman, power... These are something anybody who has desire wants to pursue. No matter how much they have, they are never satisfied.”

And that desire was the source of Yong-ho’s power. How could the King of Greed say he had got enough money already?

Yong-ho, who nodded on impulse, felt that Catalina and Kaiwan were pulling each of his arms firmly.

Catalina was about to cry, with her ears drooping, and Kaiwan was staring at him ferociously after a long time. Although they looked at him differently, they seemed to see eye to eye on Ophelia’s rebuke.

‘Hey, stop it!’

Yong-ho cleared his throat at that moment and hastily changed the topic.

“Anyway, I think I have to decide whether to accept the invitation or not.”

He then looked at the card again.

Tigrius said, “I think it is a great opportunity for you to broaden your knowledge. Although there was an all-out war going on in the north, I think powerful guys from the demon world will gather at the auction house because they offer special auctions this time.”

‘You bet.’

Yong-ho recalled the time when he and Sitri attended the auction house.

It was a good experience. Since he was exposed to a wider world back then, he could reach a higher level. Without his growth at that time, he would not have made what he is today.”

Yong-ho himself did not exist.

‘Moreover, I got Brigada at that time.’

There was no one against him obtaining another good item this time. Rather, better auction items might be waiting for him.

“Okay, the only thing I have to do now is to get things done before I attend the auction house.”

In the eastern area, there were still some dungeons of Sargatanas and small and medium-sized dungeons. Yong-ho could own them easily if he decided to.

Even if there were good auction items, he would not be able to buy them without money.

So, it was time for him to collect all the money available to participate in the auction house.

His eyes shone with greed, and Aamon, watching silently, was relieved.

His greed was still strong.
