Millennium Tension

Chapter 184: Halinoque

At first glance, Halinoque looked like a traditional or semi-modern shopping center. Here all items, treasures, and artifacts were displayed in a glass cabinet with special rune inscriptions.

Customers were free to roam around at will, and the staff just stood guard around the rows of glass cabinets, waiting for customers who were interested in something to be purchased.

'Here is Hall 1, the more we go inside, the items that are presented will be more expensive.' Aizen spoke via their system as he walked casually.

However, suddenly a guard approached them, and he blocked their path. "Halt! Spirit Beasts are prohibited from entering here!"

"Grr!" Bella growled at the man in front of her, she was enjoying being a guide and this human annoyed her all of sudden.

"The rules are made for some reason, let our little white come with us, we will cover all the things that you fear she will break, that's only if something is damaged by us." Aizen stepped forward in a relaxed and calm manner.

"Rules are rules! But if you are going to take it all with full responsibility, then this rule does not apply to you. Your Spirit Beast is allowed to enter." The stern guard saluted Aizen.

The man before him was not an ordinary person, and this group was not trivial. Since they were in full charge of this little white dragon, then that would be fine.

"That's great, now tell us, which Hall has anything special right now?" Aizen nodded in understanding, at least this guard was wise in calculating the pros and cons.

"If what you mean by special is our daily event, then it's in Hall 4. Then, in Hall 5, but that's only for those with very big budgets." He did not forget to inform the Hall with super expensive items of quality, the guard wisely suggested to the group that he thought had a lot of money.

"Is that so, thank you for telling us."

"It is our duties, young master. Our Halinoque will not disappoint you."

Aizen and the girls ignored the guard, they continued on their way into Hall 1. As for Bella, she didn't even give the guard who had to block her path a moment ago another glance.

They once again looked around at the handicrafts that had become an artifact or treasure. They only bought what caught their eye, and Aizen paid for it all easily.

Here, the Blue Diamond membership card that was made at The Twilight Amphitheater while they were still in Spring Root City became a very useful intermediary.

An unconditional 20 percent discount as long as their total purchase amount was over 100 high tier spirit coins. In addition, they were also treated so special as great guests.

"Young master, after this hallway is Hall 4, do you want to go there?" A man who became their adjuvant asked respectfully.

This adjuvant man was assigned by the Elder to accompany Aizen's group as soon as Aizen showed the Blue Diamond membership card to one of the Elders who happened to be around. This place was managed by the Main Auction House Association, a very helpful thing.

"Of course, we are here to buy unique and interesting souvenirs. Accumulate the number of our purchases up to Hall 5." After declaring that, Aizen immediately walked forward with his girls, leaving the stunned adjuvant behind.

The adjuvant was somewhat astonished and happy at the same time, how much did this group want to buy and how rich are they !? Expensive items were just called souvenirs for them !? And again, this man was accompanied by nine fairies...

Truly the pinnacle of happiness for a man, wealth, throne, and woman, this man had all of it in hand.

He immediately came out of his stunned state and caught up with Aizen's group who had walked first.

Strangely, it was Bella who became the guide for them, and not that adjuvant, his role to walk in front was shifted somewhat from the tour in Hall 1 to Hall 3 just because of this little white dragon.

It was not like Hall 1 to Hall 3 which presented all items like in a shopping center, in Hall 4 all the events were served on a luxurious stage in the middle of the hall, and here it was very much like a banquet hall.

"Mr. adjuvant, here it is said to be a daily event? Customers can bid on the price? How does it work?" Aizen asked lightly, for a moment he looked at some of the customers sitting around the stage and seemed to be betting on price issues.

"I am Ding Chun, young master..." Ding Chun introduced himself once again. It seemed, his name had been forgotten right away after his first introduction.

"Okay, Ding Chun, now explain." Aizen nodded once, he finally adopted the name for this adjuvant.

"As you can see, young master. Hall 4 serves alike to an auction house, but with a different method, and so it becomes a special daily event." Ding Chun paused for a moment to take a breath.

"For every item on the stage, it already has a price, but customers can buy it at a price below that. It's just that the one who will buy is not just one customer, then they will start to bid at the price."

"Ho? Is that so? Then what about that one? He already won the price bet, but he didn't immediately get his item." Aizen pointed to one of the items that were just declared with the highest bid price.

"Hmm, it's an item that costs 2 thousand high tier spirit coins, and the highest bid price is 1200 high tier spirit coins. Items with a bid price below the original price, can only be picked up at the end of the event at night. As long as the event is not finished, these items can be bid by other people at a higher price. "Ding Chun explained politely and carefully.

"Very well, it was very time-consuming. Among the 42 items on that stage, was there anything that caught your eye?" Aizen turned to his girls, this daily event was not a good idea if only to buy expensive items at low prices.

As expected, the girls shook their heads gently. Not only did the items on the grand stage didn't really catch their eye, but it looked annoying to bidding prices in the hall so blatantly.

"Then we'll go to Hall 5, and we're done here." Aizen nodded in confirmation, not only to his girls, but to the adjuvant as well.

"... Then, this way, please." With a little awkwardness, Ding Chun led the group to Hall 5.

The treasures that were auctioned on the stage were very useful and extraordinary, greatly sought after by many people. However, these items were only labeled as unattractive items by this harem group. His small heart was slightly hurt when he compared people who were far above like this man and himself.

The arrival of Aizen's group had summoned enough attention and alarm for people who were currently bidding their price for the item they wanted to obtain.

Fortunately, that newcomer group was only passing this hall to get to Hall 5. Hall 5! A place where all the best treasures are, but also very expensive. Only certain people dared to go there, not to mention that could buy something from there.

Some of them asked questions in their minds about a number of things, but it was neither Aizen nor his girls' business, and certainly none of Bella's business. They were already walking forward and away from Hall 4.

Ding Chun started chirping again about various things, especially regarding Hall 5, but Aizen didn't really focus on all the words of this adjuvant.

He scanned the hall they had just entered. This hall was very similar to a museum, but relics that should only be displayed for viewing were treasures or items awaiting the customer who wanted to take them home.

"Why is it here so quiet and lonely?" Aizen asked while looking around.

There were no other customers besides his group! There were only a few Sky Spirit Realm experts serving as staff. Very much different from the hustle and bustle in the previous hall.

Ding Chun did not have the opportunity to answer that question, suddenly an Elder appeared near them, interrupting the answer he wanted to say from his mouth.

"Welcome to Hall 5 of our Halinoque, esteemed guest. My name is Lin Lin, let me assist you in this hall." A woman came with a stride and saluted in front of Aizen.

"Regarding your previous question, this hall is very special and not everyone can visit here. Apart from Blue Diamond membership card owners or higher-ups, only very few people can visit this sacred area in our Halinoque." Lin Lin gave Ding Chun a glimpse of eye contact right after she said that.

Meanwhile, the adjuvant who had been present from Hall 1 to this hall only nodded slightly. He was not enough to accompany this group in this sacred hall, and to be sure, one of the elders would come to help.
