Due to the normal scarcity of elemental crystal mines, and the fact that the 'Omni-Element' elemental crystals were already a mythical existence that was even more scarce, logical thinking could easily prove that these elemental crystals couldn't have been obtained from natural elemental crystal mines…
As such, logically thinking, the only way I would obtain this collection of elemental crystals would be either by someone leaving them for me, or my finding them by chance as some sort of an inheritance, though the amount was just too little for an inheritance, which fit in a good way with my 'Allowance' explanation.
"One hundred one grade 1 elemental crystals plus ten grade 2 elemental crystals…"
"Yup."
"You sure love to surprise us more, young guest…"
"Haha, not really, you just didn't ask if I had crystals in different grades and I didn't say I only have grade 1 ones, like you said before, it was just an assumption of yours… anyway, where does the current amount put us at…?"
"Well said, young guest, let's see… the grade 1 crystals would go for a range of 5~8 gold coins, while the grade 2 ones would go for a range of 35~50 gold coins, but that's individually only, if they are sold in a bundle then they should go for…"
'As expected…'
"Getting a bid over 1500 gold coins should be no problem…"
"Seems about right to me, do I get my VIP treatment then?"
I wasn't as petty as to pester the servant about just an assumption or an expression that he didn't act on, so I was just simply asking for confirmation…
"Of course, you would be issued our gold card in a few minutes, as for the down payment, since your crystal collection would appear at today's auction, our estimation of one thousand five hundred gold coins will be added into our accounts as money that you can use at the auction, after the auction is done, we will see how much your collection earns and after we subtract our commission, you can withdraw the amount in hard gold coins if you so desire..."
"hmmm..."
Without bringing me any surprise, it seemed like they found the crystal collection to be of enough worth to be added to today's auction items, and 1500 gold coins to bid with seemed to be quite enough for any possible bidding on my side, as for this commission…
"Also, in your case, since your collection of items has surpassed our one thousand gold coins limit in estimation, our normal 10% commission would be lowered to 5% for your VIP treatment!"
"Fine by me…"
"Little Three, take our guest here to make his VIP gold card and show him the auction item list after you are done…"
"Yes master…"
"Well then, I will see you later, young mysterious guest…"
"Alright."
Following little Three out of the room, I only took a simple glance at Dan's curious smile before leaving… it was about time to look at that list…
'Well, I guess the coins that I would receive are worth the trouble already, but it would still be a nice bonus to find an item that would grab my attention…'
I, of course, wasn't worried that I would be scammed out of my money after the crystals are sold, after all, not only did I have my 'nameless master', but I also had a sect in my back that was supporting enough of me to give me an auction ticket if the master joke didn't work, coupled with the fact that the amount of money wasn't that gigantic for an auction house like that, at least not enough for them to take a chance at ruining their reputation...
What I needed to care about now was whether the auction would bring me a good surprise of not…
`~~`~~`~~`
"Here you go, esteemed guest."
Receiving the golden card under the name of 'Lan Storm' from Three the servant who started to treat me with more respect after the whole appraisal process was done, which was to be expected…
"Do you have any plans within the time before the auction, sir?"
"Not really…"
"If that's so then allow me to show you to your VIP booth to rest there till the auction, I will bring you the scroll of items shortly after…"
"Lead the way then…"
It seemed like the perks of a VIP card was more than just access to the info about the auction items, though I didn't know how different a VIP booth would be than normal ones, but it should be considerably better…
Going further into the building, and reaching the part that the auction would take place at, I finally understood the difference…
It was an open auction styled place! Which meant that only the VIP get to enjoy privacy and not showing the identity while the rest of the participants would normally sit in stadium style chairs…
However, the numbers of the VIP windows that I spotted weren't few at all, as it seemed that every above elder level sect member would get normal VIP treatment automatically, it seemed like the chairs were mostly for normal sect members and new elders who wouldn't join grand elders and above positions in their booths…
"I will be back in a sec…"
After leaving my in the somewhat luxurious booth which had a comfortable chair, though not comfy as that luxury bed, Three the servant went out supposedly to bring the list of auction items…
`~~`~~`~~`
"Master Dan, what should we do…?"
"Nothing, don't think of anything stupid, who we might offend isn't worth it, it's better to use this chance as a promotion for our house instead of turning it into a possible ruin inviting action…"
"But he only seems to have grabbed the attention of the 'White Spear Sect', they shouldn't be too concerned about it, do we really have to waste such a good chance at discovering a long lost myth…?"
"What do you know? It's likely that he is telling the truth about it having no bulk source, besides, his master's description and the elements that's missing from the crystals seems to match with a certain esteemed person's identity…"
