Chapter 430 Auction trap (7)

Many of them were people that were very careful with their own lives.

If they had this kind of absolute defense, then they would have another trump card to preserve their lives if they were ever in danger.

However, I wasn\'t interested in this item at all.

It might seem tempting to others, but I knew the dangers that came with such an item.

First, it would be hard to use.

While an indestructible shield sounded great, it was just a shield in the end. Unless you were proficient with it, it was easy to avoid the shield and stab you still.

Second, this was a magic item according to the auctioneer, but they weren\'t able to determine just what kind of magic item it was.

In cases like this, the magic item would usually be some kind of key to open a related questline.

When I was trying to keep a low profile, buying something like this was sure to put a target on my back and that was the last thing that I wanted.

So there was no reason for me to bid for this item.

As we sat there, Shaka suddenly asked me, "Are you really not going to bid for this thing?"

I was surprised when I heard Shaka ask me this.

I never thought that he would want me to buy something.

Seeing the way that I looked at him, Shaka said, "If it\'s as strong as they say, it would be useful to have for your protection."

Then as if he was adding it like an afterthought, Shaka said, "Not to mention, it\'s not your wallet that you\'re using."

I revealed a faint smile when I heard this, but I still shook my head and said, "It\'s not worth it."

Shaka revealed a confused look when he heard this before asking, "How so?"

I looked back at the shield on display and said, "That thing is anything but ordinary. The price to pay for such a thing isn\'t just the price it costs at this auction. You\'ll be paying quite a bit more if you buy this thing."

Shaka raised one brow as if he was doubting as he said, "Are you sure about this?"

I just gave a nod as I said, "My instincts are usually right."

He still looked like he didn\'t believe what I said, but he didn\'t say anything else on this matter.

The bidding continued for this shield, but in the end, there was one bidder who won with a single bid.

That bidder was the eldest prince.

The moment that he made his bid, he stood up in front of everyone so that they could see him.

They all looked up at him and immediately fell silent.

Since the people that could come to this auction were all powerful and rich people, they naturally recognized the eldest prince with a single glance.

The moment that the eldest prince stepped out, this item was destined to be his.

After all, there wasn\'t a single person in this room that could offend the eldest prince.

It didn\'t matter what bid the eldest prince made, even a single gold coin extra was enough. But his pride wouldn\'t allow himself to win in such a cheap manner, so he raised it by a proper amount.

The auctioneer knew that this was over, so he quickly ended this first auction by selling it to the eldest prince.

The eldest prince stood up once more after winning this bid to wave his hand at everyone.

Since he won this item and revealed his face for it, he had no choice but to stand out a bit more.

Once that was done, the auctioneer continued by bringing out the next item, but this item was lacking compared to this first one.

It seemed that they had used this shield as the item that drew everyone\'s attention and the following items were nothing more than normal items.

This was a common strategy used for any sale.

You put the best item out front to attract attention and then slowly sell the other items that weren\'t as good.

So there was a lull that fell onto this auction as the excitement from the first item died away.

That didn\'t mean that the items that were being auctioned were not good items.

These were items that had been put in this auction backed by the royal family, so of course they were still top tier items. There were still people that were fighting to get these items, just less than before.

As the items came out, I really didn\'t see anything that caught my attention.

However, I knew that I would have to bid on something eventually.

It was my job to attract attention to myself at this auction, so I had to make a big bid to do that.

I didn\'t mind since it wasn\'t my money in the first place, but there just wasn\'t anything that I wanted.

As more and more items were sold, I couldn\'t help thinking to myself, "Do I just have to bid on something random?"

These things weren\'t bad, but they really weren\'t things that I wanted for myself.

Instead of bidding for something that I didn\'t want, I would have preferred bidding for something that I did want.

Time kept passing and more items were sold.

It finally reached a point where I thought that I had no choice but to bid on something random or else there would be no items left for me to do so.

But before I did that, there was finally something that came out that caught my attention.

"Ladies and gentleman, please turn your attention to the next item." The auctioneer said as a beautiful woman brought up something small on a pillow.

She came right up onto the stage with the auctioneer and stood there beside him while holding this item.
