Master Of None Chapter 99
Advertisement
They had gained two out of four items. Now walker had his eye out for Remey and himself. He also had hope he'd see something for midnight. A few pieces of armor and weapons sold but nothing that struck them as worth having. However just as they feared they would see anything a bright blue necklace was brought in stage.
"This is a special item with a very unique effect. It's called the magic reflection pendent and it was brought from a wandering trader. It is one of three we will be selling tonight. It has the ability to reflect weak magic spells and reduce damage of strong spells. This item could keep any from an unfortunate end. The starting price will be five hundred gold!"
Walker knew Remey had the lowest magic defense in the party and so did she. The second the woman in the white dress finished he explanation the two had already had a silent conversation with their eyes. This was the pendant Remey wanted. Since there would be three up for auction tonight walker decided to put up an intimidating bid.
"Let the bidding begin."
Walker raised his number in the air and shouted loudly "six hundred gold!" This was the first shouted bid of the night and everyone saw that this would be a tough fight. Knowing there were two more to be sold next those who walker had scared off rested easy. Those who had planned to bid decided to hold off so that they wouldn't be stuck with a hugely driven up price. Miraculously this left walker unopposed.
"Once...twice....three time it's sold for six hundred gold to number six. Your lucky day congratulations."
The woman appeared a bit unhappy seeing the others scared off but knew she could lure them to spend more on the other two. As she had the next pendant brought out the bidding became furious as others refused to let this one slip away.

Meanwhile walker smiled to himself. "That was a bold move but I'm glad you got me that pendant. It will definitely help me make it home to tell everyone stories." Remey was a bit embarrassed but she was impressed walker had shown more courage to scare off others immediately. As their parties leader he had gained a great amount of respect in that instance. Walkers smile turned in to a full grin, between Remeys words and see that the last pendant sold for almost double the price he paid he knew he made the right move.
Next was an item they had been waiting for,
" next we have ten sets of a very unique item. If there are tamers or those buying for tamers you should seriously consider this item. We have a package deal, you will be bidding on zombie flesh, undead bones, and a corpse spider egg. The seller painstakingly prepared these packages so you would have everything the hatchling corpse spider needed to grow. Each package will start at one hundred and seventy five gold. Let the bidding begin!"
Laurence immediately stood up. " three hundred gold!"
This was unprecedented, three hundred gold with much much higher than the starting price. Not only this but by standing Laurence was telling everyone that he would not stop bidding until he won. Not a single person dared to oppose them. Seeing the tamers guild insignia on their cloaks the guests knew they would be bidding against a strong opponent with much deeper pockets. Naturally Laurence was not opposed and won the first package easily. The second however Riley stood up and offered the same price. This was a great surprise since he'd yet to speak.
Again there was no opposition. Another package bought up by the tamers. Come the third Elise stood up offering the same price yet again. The guests were now just completely shaken three tamers in a row issuing a challenge. Walker had known that the corpse spider could make a valuable asset to a tamer with its venom and threads to poison and trap enemies. His underestimation came with the potential that it would be female. If it was a skeletal spider the defensive strength alone could make it an ideal bodyguard. Add on the fact that multiple corpse spider meant breeding potential it was a no brainer for the tamer guild to want ever single egg.

The guests believed that after the third tamer had acquired their package that they may have a chance. These important families had connections in the military and other royalty that would be in their debt to receive a monster such as the corpse spider to tame. However once the fourth package was announce all three tamers stood up. Laurence offered again the same price. This time however instead of saying they were bidding they said "we bid on behalf of the tamers guild" at this the other guests felt robbed. If they had known the tamers first three bids had been from their own pockets they could have our bid them!
This sneaky strategy had swept the floor with every single corpse spider egg. To say the least the party was overjoyed. They had just managed to gain three thousand gold. They hadn't even seen their aged berry whine sell yet.
After the last package sold Laurence gave a polite nod to the party before sitting. Elise was visibly excited, it was sure to be tough for her to sit through the remainder of the auction.
"Those corpse spider eggs are a rare item to follow so we hope everyone is ready for the next. Here we have a pair of moon crystal earrings. These may seem strange but I promise they are more than meets the eye. Brought from the elven kingdom and crafter under the light of a full moon these earring enhance ones perception. The starting bid will be four hundred gold! Let the bidding begin!"
Increase perception? Walker wasn't sure what this would mean and immediately used his all around appraisal skill to get more information.

Earth: An advanced inhabitable world in the ideal colonizable range. Moderate temperatures and consistent weather patterns make this planet an incredible resource, along with a wealth of animals and wildlife beyond most worlds.

Levels of technology in local populace indicate a sharp trend towards interstellar travel, but still needs to make the last push to acquire reasonable interstellar technologies. Up until quite recently, Earth has not been a fully classified planet and was largely unknown.
