How To Survive As A Dragon With Time-Limit Chapter 205

Episode 205 fake (4)

‘It’s a fake… … .’

It was a sufficiently plausible hypothesis.

‘What if I haven’t been able to uncover the secret until now because the Siren’s tears in me aren’t real?’

To be honest, it wasn’t that I didn’t have doubts.

It’s been 250 years since you obtained the Siren’s Tears.

How much research have you done on this necklace?

However, not a single secret was revealed.

Every time the thought that maybe these weren’t really siren’s tears arose, I tried to shake off the doubt… … .

‘It’s not that I haven’t been able to find the secret, but if it’s a fake and there was no secret to find… That makes sense.’

Lois shook her head.

‘For now, let’s leave all possibilities open.’

There is also a possibility that the Siren’s tears in his hand are real.

Or there is a possibility that the siren’s tears that appeared at the auction were real.

For now, everything was a possibility.

So, there was only one thing for Lois to do now.

Participate in the auction and hold the siren’s tears, which may be real.

And luckily, the auction date was today.

And that too in another hour.

‘Is it luck or fate… … .’

It was as if the Siren’s tears were asking him to buy her quickly.

He looked at Tania and opened his mouth.

“Tania, come with me somewhere.”

“Where?”

“here.”

The auction flyer in Lois’ hand fluttered.

Tania asked back, her eyes shining.

“… “Two?”

“Yeah, it’s a little too late to call the others.”

That was the end of it.

Tania nods enthusiastically.

“song! “Go now!”

She smiled brightly and wrapped her arms around Lois.

Then he pulled Lois with all his might.

So the next destination for the two was decided to be the auction house.

* * *

Finding the auction house was easy.

This is because the directions were clearly drawn on the leaflet.

“Are you here?”

“I guess so.”

Lois looked up at the sign erected on the one-story building.

[Demonia Underground Auction House]

Colorful signs.

It was even shining brightly, as if from some kind of device.

Lois laughed out loud when she saw the shape of the sign looked familiar.

‘What is this…? ‘Are you a knight?’

It is clearly different from the signs of nearby shopping malls.

It reminded me of a nightclub sign I had seen in a past life.

There was even a wagon parked in front of the building with something similar to an auction house sign stuck to it, and several people were handing out flyers a few meters away from the auction house.

‘I see you are soliciting customers properly.’

From what I can tell, this is an auction house?

Knight.

Lois, who was so tired, walked to the entrance of the auction house with Tania.

Then, a person who appeared to be a guard standing at the entrance blocked the two.

“stop.”

“… … ?”

The guard scanned Lois and Tania’s entire bodies.

“You cannot go in.”

“why?”

The guard still answered Tania’s question without softening his expression.

“Nobody can enter here without permission.”

Then, the guard scans Tania and Lois’ entire bodies once again.

Just then, a couple passed by them and went inside.

Tania saw this and asked with a slightly annoyed face.

“What is it? “Why are these people going in when they say no one can go in?”

“Because they are not just anyone.”

Lois looked shocked at the guard’s story.

‘So now we… Was the entrance cut off?’

The difference between them and the people who entered just a moment ago.

That was doubles.

Myself and Tania were dressed as light travelers.

Clothes that can be commonly seen anywhere.

However, the clothes of those who entered just a moment ago were luxurious at first glance.

‘Well, the auction house is a place where money is spent.’

In other words, he and Tania were cut at the entrance because they seemed to have no money.

Lois muttered with a displeased look on her face.

“No, if it’s going to be like this, why did you work so hard to solicit customers? “We will only select those who are available and receive them.”

Despite the grumbling that was openly audible, the guard still had a stern expression on his face and just raised his arm to block them.

Lois sighed at this.

‘I can’t help it.’

In this case, hell was the answer.

That’s money.

“Man, what people see is not everything.”

As Lois said that, she took out various accessories from subspace and started installing them.

Starting with bracelets, necklaces, and rings.

The guard’s eyes wavered as accessories that looked very luxurious at a glance popped out one by one.

I was wearing about four bracelets on each arm and a ring on each finger.

The guard’s arms, which were like an iron wall, went down.

Jangle jangle-.

“how is it? “Does this look expensive?”

Lois waved both hands.

And then came the final blow.

Well done-.

A heavy sound was heard from the rabbit-shaped purse that came out of Lois’s arms.

You can just hear the sound of gold coins hitting each other.

Lois opened the rabbit wallet and showed a glimpse inside.

After openly showing the yellow and shiny contents, he took out a gold piece and flicked it lightly.

chuck-.

The guard quickly caught the gold flying towards him.

At the same time, his previously stiff expression softened.

“Oops, sorry.”

How can a person’s expression change so much for just 1 gold?

The man’s face became as mushy as ice melted by the spring wind.

The way he speaks and behaves has also changed.

He bowed his head.

“I don’t have eyes to see, so I didn’t know the guest of honor.”

“You just need to know.”

“Come on in. “When you arrive inside, someone will be waiting to guide you.”

The guard cleared the way and pointed politely inward with both hands.

Lois looked thrilled at the sudden change in attitude.

‘Flex! Isn’t this the true taste of capitalism?’

Jangle jangle-.

Lois, jingling her bracelet exaggeratedly, walked proudly through the carpeted entrance.

After that, Lois did not take off her bracelet and ring for a long time.

Is it thanks to that?

The guide waiting inside was overly kind to Lois.

I didn’t even say it, but he takes me to the best place at the auction house.

In addition, it gave detailed instructions on how to participate in the auction.

In return, Lois gave the guide one gold tip as a tip, so it was natural for the guide’s waist to bend down more than 90 degrees.

Tania, who was watching the situation right next to her, opened her mouth.

“wow… … .”

“Take a good look, Tania. “This is the power of money.”

Tania nodded, head falling off.

Lois, who had given such a young student a good education, looked at the surroundings with a proud face.

‘It’s dark.’

As the name of the underground auction house suggests, the surroundings were very dark.

So much so that it was impossible to find out who the people who participated in the auction were.

‘Are they called by numbers here too?’

The basic rules of the auction were simple.

All you have to do is pick up the number plate given to the customer.

‘We are number 245.’

Lois smiled and touched the number pad.

Meanwhile, Tania could not control her pounding heart.

‘Mi, it’s a secret room!’

The place the guide brought us was clear in the front, but the back and sides were blocked.

A private space exclusively for customers.

That fact made Tania’s heart pound.

‘Seoul, alone with the teacher… ‘The two of you!’

Tania’s face turned red as she wondered what she was imagining.

When she was fanning herself and thinking she was glad it was dark.

Pot!

In the front, light came on on the platform where the auction was assumed to be held.

Soon, a man in a neat suit came up and bowed deeply in the direction where the customers were.

“We would like to express our sincere welcome and gratitude to the wealthy customers who visited our Demonia underground auction house!”

There was no applause following the greeting.

Nevertheless, the host continued the explanation regardless.

“Today, our auction house has brought together rare items from the Winter and Autumn Continents to delight our customers. So, without further ado, let’s get started right away. The first item was airlifted from the Hamirou region… … .”

During the host’s long speech, an object came up to the podium.

At the same time, a ray of light illuminated the objects on the podium, and an image appeared behind the host like a hologram.

It was a convenience system for distant customers.

‘Is it working properly?’

Unlike the cheap publicity and nightclub-like atmosphere, the auction house’s system was proper.

While Royce was impressed by the cutting-edge system, the first auction began.

“Then let’s start the auction now. The starting price is 50 gold and increases by 5 gold thereafter.”

earth-.

A hammer sound is heard, signaling the start of the auction.

“No. 134 55 gold, No. 23 60 gold… … .”

The host quickly called out the bid amount.

In an instant, the gold exceeded 100 gold.

“No. 89, 150 gold. “Don’t you have 155 gold?”

When there were no more bids, the host slammed the hammer down.

“150 gold, 150 gold, 150 gold… Successful bid! Congratulations to customer number 89.”

Bang bang bang-.

The item that had been successfully bid on three times was taken down from the stage.

Since then, numerous items have been uploaded.

But Lois just watched the auction.

‘I don’t really like anything.’

He came to get Siren’s Tears, but if there was a good item, he wanted to bid on it too.

But no object that met his eyes appeared.

As time goes by, these items continue to be sold.

Perhaps because low-value items were placed in the front, the bidding amount rose over time.

Finally, when the small jewel was sold for hundreds of gold, Tania gaped.

“and… … .”

For Tania, it was just amazing.

There are so many rich people in the world who give away hundreds of gold at once.

For Tania, who still lacked experience in the world, the auction house was like a new world.

While Lois and Tania were watching the auction.

“Okay, then this is the 56th item.”

The host’s face was full of confidence.

At the same time, an object rises onto the platform.

Pot!

A video appeared behind the host.

It was a necklace.

A beautiful necklace with blue gems.

Lois saw this and raised her upper body, which had been leaning heavily on the chair.

‘It’s finally come out.’

As if living up to Royce’s expectations, the host continued his speech.

“This is an item I obtained with difficulty at our auction house some time ago. The name is… “Siren’s tears.”

As soon as the words were finished, commotion spread everywhere.

“It is a work of art created with great care by the best craftsman of the time 400 years ago, and its first owner was Queen Sermono, who was said to be the most beautiful woman at the time.”

The siren’s tears on the podium showed off, spinning in place.

“The last owner currently revealed is Carrie Bunt. This Siren’s Tears was also an item that came from the process of organizing the Berndt family’s property, and was accompanied by a certificate of authenticity that Carrie Berndt personally commissioned 250 years ago. The certificate of authenticity is also verified by the best appraiser of the time, so it is certain that this item is genuine. Furthermore, for customers who purchase Siren’s Tears… … .”

Just-.

The host snapped his fingers, and men came up from one side holding several picture frames.

“These paintings will be presented together.”

Following the host’s comments, the video behind it was projected onto the displayed picture frame.

“Although it is a work from the ruined Bunt family, the person in this portrait is a woman who was called the greatest artist of her time. “It will be worth collecting.”

The moment Lois saw the picture frames displayed on the podium, her eyes widened.

At first, the siren’s tears caught his attention, but not now.

What caught his eye was the man and woman in the frame.

“that… … .”

Lucia, who still retains her past self, and Carrie, who has grown into a handsome man.

The picture of them holding hands affectionately was captured in the frame.
