Lord of the Truth

Chapter 203 Unwanted Attention



"A batch of twenty Ten-Day Acceleration Vitality Talismans, the starting bid is 20,000 gold coins!" Announced the Elder hosting the auction

Although the Elder is just a new saint, this is the first auction in history to be hosted by a saint personally!

The guests Didn't know if this was a special event for the re-opening of the largest auction hall in the kingdom, or did the Burton family just want to show off their new saints...

But it didn't really matter, in the end, they succeeded in both!

"21,000 gold coins!"

"I hope everyone will let me win it and I will surely remember your grace, I need this batch a lot to save lives, I bid 22,000 gold coins."

"Haha, as if I would! 25,000 gold coins..!"

"...."

"..."

"37 thousand gold coins for 20 ten-day acceleration vital runes, is there any higher bidder? ...Sold!" The elders announced and pointed toward the buyer

Although there are now many selling points around the city for these regular talismans at a fixed price, the demand for them is simply too high, and obtaining a large number of talismans in a short period is still very difficult.

Even those who do not need the talismans would hover around a selling point and go buy everything they can as soon as a new talisman arrives, simply to sell them again on the black market later for a much higher price!

This was the best opportunity to get reasonable size batches, directly from the source...

Of course, the prices become much higher if compared to the fixed price at the selling points, but it is still actually a little cheaper than the black market

.. It's already been about 3 hours since the auction started and the hall hasn't calmed down for a moment from the competition, however.. the people who booked the VIP rooms haven't bought anything yet..

They just didn't come for this.

Even though their hands eat them to buy all those talismans... the money they brought in today must be kept for the main event...

Finally, their wait paid off, as the host saint opened both hands smilingly, "Ladies and gentlemen, there are no more talismans to sell today, but the auction is not over… We have kept you waiting long enough, it's time for the main event of the day! "

"Finally!!"

"Come on, get it out quickly!"

"Please first give us an overview of the Minor Heavenly Law Cultivation Technique!"

As if a storm broke out in the hall, the VIPs finally tilted their bodies forward to take a better look at the hall from above, and the ordinary nobles stood up and started shouting excitedly.

"Haha, please calm down… I had the honor of hosting today's event up until this point, but now, someone more suitable than me for this special event will take the position." The Saint signaled everyone to sit down, then looked toward a certain direction in the hall, "You may come forward, the stage is ready for you."

Everyone looked in the same direction and found a young man leaning against one of the walls of the hall at the back, then began to move towards the platform with steady steps with a smile on his face

Upon seeing him, the VIPs started to furrow their eyebrows... As for the rest of the lesser nobles, they just were unable to observe silently.

"Who is this..?"

"He's a young guy! ..at level 13 of Knighthood?!"

"How can a child be more fit than a saint to offer us the technique of laws?"

"Tsk~ They are messing with us now, the Burtons' mind games are really as weird as them.."

Here the saint who was still on the stage raised an eyebrow and shouted, "Silence! You are in the Burton family land, even if we bring a baby to host the auction, he must be respected!"

Very powerful words... and some might even consider them an insult!

but no one said a word to respond.

The pressure coming from the name Burton has simply gotten too intense lately.

"Haha, I apologize for raising my voice, please don't take offense from the words of this old man." Then the Saint continued, deferring to Robin, "This young man here is Robin Burton, I have no doubt that all of you have heard that name in one way or another."

Everyone returned to look at the young man who was still making his way to the stage, but this time it was not a look of disdain .. but rather an amazement

"Robin? Is that Robin..?! He looks so young..."

"The one who took Lady Mila Bradley as his fiancee?"

"I heard he was the one who laid the foundation for the economic adjustment that changed the shape of Jura City and the surrounding areas.."

"Forget that, he is the one who combined the attacks of 2,500 knights to attack tens of Saints from the Tenley Family including the Duke, and killed 3 of them!!"

"Wasn't he the general who fought to defend the Duchy of Alton at the Dembele Hills famous battle and protected the whole kingdom from the counter-invasion..?"

"I heard that the war on the Rufus family happened because someone attacked this young man in the street!"

"Rumor has it that he is the one who laid out the strategies to take control of the Duchy of Harris with near-zero casualties from the Burtons!"

"Robin Burton has superior energy control skills and has intimidating military and strategic capabilities, he's a pearl to the Burton family, no wonder he would have the honor of introducing this technique, that's his reward for sure!"

"Brother Robin, you are the best!!"

Side gossip began to take place among the guests, and quickly all the public news about Robin Burton spread among them, a few shouts also began to rise, but this time not to mock him...

"Robin... Burton..." In one of the private rooms, an extremely old mummy-looking man muttered, "Didn't you say... in the report... he is his current age... about 170 years... of age?"

"There is no doubt, Your Highness, this young man was actually born in Jura City 170 years ago and disappeared for over a century before returning to his home recently, everyone knows this." One of the two men standing behind the old man bowed respectfully and spoke directly in his ear, he was a level Saint 30...

"But... the age... of his bones... he is barely... 26 years old..." the old man muttered again as if every word that came out of his mouth would take his life a few days!

"It is true, Your Highness, this is a mystery that baffles everyone who knows it, but no one dared to pressure the Burton family to know the details of this strange phenomenon, we heard that a few Noble Families has spoken with the Royals and asked them to pressure Robin themselves to speak about the secret, but they were refused.

I think that the Royal Family of the Black Sun Kingdom does not want to steer problems with the Burton family in that aspect, since they do not have any High Elder who is close to the limits of his life force..." The person on the other side also bowed completely and replied, he also was a level 30 Saint.

"... Robin... Burton..." the old man muttered but didn't add another word, just following Robin with his almost closed eyes until he reached the stage.
