Magic Shop System Chapter 67

Old Li sighed in relief and explained. "Though this girl seemed to be small, she is definitely a genius of the dwarven tribe. Some of you might not believe me but I suspect that she might be from the royal bloodline."
As soon as his words sounded, the hall was stunned into silence. The royal bloodline? What did that imply? Unlike humans, dwarves were not divided into thousands of territories. On the contrary, there was a sole ruler that ruled the dwarves. That was the Dwarven Royal Clan. Their strength was so terrible that no other dwarven clan dared to object—or oppose—them. Now Old Li dared to claim that she was from the Royal Clan. He must have hit his head in between the doors before coming to the auction.
After a brief silence, a peal of laughter reverberated. Then the entire hall was filled with chuckles and mockery and curses. Artisan Ironclad couldn't help but mock. "Old Li, do you think you're too smart, or you think we're are too stupid? You can con others with false information but not us. You did the same with that White Rosemary Flower. You told only prose but you left the terrible cons of the herb."
Immediately, people in the hall were left stunned. Most of them didn't have a strong background. Therefore, they didn't know much about the White Rosemary Flower. After hearing that it could awaken a star, they started to fight over it vigorously. Now it seemed that something was wrong with White Rosemary Flower.
Khrom heard Artisan Ironclad's words and his expression became awful. He clenched his fist and blood started to drip. However, Kadyn didn't realise it as his attention was somewhere else.
Old Li's expression also didn't look good when Ironclad exposed his petty trick. He thought that none of those people would stoop low enough to expose this matter. As he didn't lie about the effect of the flower and just didn't tell about the consequences of taking it. However, who would have thought that this Ironclad would say it so bluntly in front of the masses. After today the reputation of the Slave Auction House would definitely decrease.

Old Li clenched his fist and glared towards room number four with viciousness. Afterwards, he suppressed his anger and indignation and said. "At least, let me explain before accusing me of anything." He said, but could not hide the resentment from his voice.
"Sure, I would like to hear your explanation." Ironclad sneered.
The old man took a deep breath and calmed himself down. He was getting agitated after being provoked by Ironclad again and again. If it wasn't for his strength, Old Li would have already thrown him out of the Auction House. Afterwards, he looked at the dwarven girl inside the cart and said. "I said I suspect that she is from a Royal Clan but I didn't say that I'm confident about it. Furthermore, I said that because this girl herself admitted it."
"Are you kidding us? How would we know if you are speaking the truth about it?" this time it was Artisan Hot Rod who questioned. "Who knows if you have terrorised that little girl to admit it in front of us?"
Old Li was left speechless by such a counter, his face turned a little red; however, he hid it without letting anyone see. He thought that he could use this fact to raise the price. Now it seemed that it had become a bone in his throat, painful to swallow, hard to remove. He couldn't help but once more glare at room number four hatefully. It was all because of that bastard Ironclad.
"He dug his own grave." Kadyn shook his head and murmured
"What do you mean?" Elora asked.
"He thought that he was smart and tried to con other people before this. However, he forgot that today's audience wasn't just ordinary people. Therefore when he coaxed other people in previous bids. The VIPs became vigilant. He could blame only himself for being stupid." Kadyn couldn't help but find the situation a little funny. How could an old and cunning man like him, make such a blunder. It seems being extra cunning is also not good.

Old Li appeared gloomy after being embarrassed by others, time and again. He thought that he could gain a huge fortune by conning these people. But today's situation was completely different from his expectations. He didn't know how to proceed. He cleared his throat and said. "Let's leave the matter of her being a royal aside. Let me tell you that she can forge an intermediate grade artefact already."
"Sigh, I can't take it anymore." Artisan Ironclad said. "Don't you feel any embarrassment, old man? Do you think forging an intermediate grade elementary artefact is something great? Just start the stupid bidding, even I'm starting to feel sorry for you."
The audience burst into a peal of laughter. Old Li looked gloomy and his expression was dark. He clenched his teeth in fury and said. "Now we'll start the bidding. The starting price is hundred thousand dollars."
People gasped when they heard the price. Hundred thousand? Isn't that too much for a girl?
"Old man, you really have a big appetite." Ironclad mocked.
However, Old Li ignored his remark this time; he knew that he would only embarrass himself by arguing with that brute.
"One hundred and ten thousand." Someone from room number three—who was silent all this time—spoke.
"Haha, so it is Patriarch Irabel." Barret Duncan laughed and said. "I'm also a little interested in that girl. Though she might not know the secrets of dwarven tribe's forging. She would definitely become a Rank 1 artisan after some nurturing. It seems my branch is lacking an artisan of that rank. One hundred fifty thousand." He knew what the Patriarch of Irable House was thinking, so he didn't mind speaking out loud.
After a small silence, someone from room number five-spoke with a hoarse voice. "One hundred eighty thousand."
Khrom who was sitting beside Kadyn heard the voice and his body trembled and his eyes turned red as the murderous look emerged on his face. Kadyn happened to see the change on his face and became bewildered.

This Strange New Life
Seems like I got a new chance. Better not fuck it up then, since I really want to see what it feels to have a family. Power is pretty lame alone. Best used to build things and protect people. Did a lot of building 'till now, lots of research stuff and all. Now, let's protect the people that I love and that loves me back. An enjoyable life with my loved ones. Whatever the cost. Mufufu~~ What can I do, my siblings are so cute~~ maybe I'll try having children at some point~? --- PLEASE READ THE DESCRIPTION ^p^ ---- This is an extremely slow reincarnation story, with heavy usage of dialogues and diminutive descriptions. Chapter are posted whenever I feel like it, because I won't burn myself down like I did before. Chapters will often be around 2k words. The first arc, Life in Valince, will be at least 50 chapters deep, and the main character won't get to her 1 year anniversary over the span of this arc. As I said, it's a slow, character interaction, dialogue-heavy story. Lots of feeling, slice-of-life etc, with some dramatic events that shape the rest of the story ^^ AND PLEASE, STOP PESTERING ME ABOUT JAPANESE. this story contain a very limited amount of japanese words, used in context for a reason and that are part of the mystery of the worldAnd the bad guys use german (not because nazi buit because german is badass)And there’s also french. Please be open-minded. I’m not a delusional weeb and this kind of thing, and it would be very appreciated if people could be more polite.If you don't like it, I don't force you to read it, but a lot of people seems to like this novel nonetheless, so maybe you should give it a shot. ---- Lux's here! Yeah I know I should work on ToL and ToF but I had another idea, then another one. So here it is. Story talk about a war vet that reincarnate and can finally know what it is to have a family. I like engineering, creating things and all, so I'll try putting production scene in this. Like all my stories, it's about love, be it with family, friends or lovers. I like my coffee with so much love sugar that half the planet would get diabetes. You're warned. Also, the MC is quite OP, but I keep a progression curb and she still has things to learn, which she will eagerly do. After all, curiosity is one of her main drives, with a thirst for love and utter hate of loss, be it losing a battle or losing someone she loves. Ha, nearly forgot. CONTENT WARNINGS AREN'T FOR SHOW. Sex, of course. I'll try to explore sexuality as a male, a female, and some other PoV that can't be categorised like that, not exactly. Also, beware the yuri/yaoi. I don't limit myself to straight couples. Gore. A lot. Blood everywhere, guts spilling and all. I don't do censure. The Mc cut a wolf in half? you get the details of what is inside it. Traumatising content. I dunno. No NTR, no heartbreaking drama. However, some of you may dislike the way I handle bodies and flesh. Got some feedback about body horror on my previous works, but everyone as a different border separating transhumanism and body horror. Mine is pretty high. How high? Go read The Other Labyrthin to have an example. To put it in simple term, I've no problem at all to describe alien bodies, change in human bodies, interactions between differents strange species etc. Expect a lot of tentacle, bio-incubator, spawning pool à la zerg. Profanity. Well, I think you fucking got it in the very first sentence of this synopsis, ain't right? ---- THIS IS A WIP (work in progress)! Earlier chapters may get retconned or completely changed, structure of the story isn't set in stone, all the usual stuff. ANY HELP IS WELCOMED. Want to throw me your idea? Shoot! Spotted an error in the text? Comment! Seen a plothole bigger than the impact zone of a nuke?
