chapter 38
I see your code (38)
“… … Bloodstone?”
blood stone. It is a type of attribute stone. To be precise, it is an attribute that has been subdivided from metal.
It is much rarer than the commonly called Five Elements and the Four Great Elements. Because of its rarity, it is also 10 times more expensive than an attribute stone of the same grade.
The problem is that the few remaining vampires are the treasures they have created.
It is also a treasure made by shattering a living without a living. You give me something like that?
“If you get caught in Kurachida, your hands will fly away.”
“If you buy me, the engraving will be transferred too, how is it?”
Even those words did not dispel any doubts.
Yes, but you should definitely do it. Bloodstone is not a stone that rolls along the roadside.
Then Cartwal shook his head desperately and pleaded not guilty.
“It’s definitely a valuable thing, but I can give it to you.”
“Why does it smell like seafood?”
“No, the smell of fate.”
Can you stop that fateful Destiny Taryeong?
Without realizing it, he frowned, and he spoke quickly.
“Since ancient times, it has been said to hand over to someone who smells like the ‘Liberation King’.”
It’s the first time I hear it.
I’ve never had a setting like that. Seriously, I didn’t make any of those things.
“Then why don’t you buy it?”
“Uh, huh?”
“You have to give it anyway.”
“… … uh.”
uh what uh
As if he had just come to his senses, he spoke hurriedly.
“Only me can bring bloodstone. It is in a place where only special bloodlines can enter.”
Appeal to buy yourself.
This is going to be depressing enough.
It is true. It’s in a place called the sanctuary, and it explodes when someone who is not a blood relative of the vampire king enters.
Not a metaphor, really.
Explosive means literally. Or I just robbed it.
Rather, it’s two thousand gold and one blood stone. It may seem like an advantage.
He opened his mouth as if he was sympathetic, without showing his inner feelings. It is better to put the debt of the heart when the opportunity arises.
“Okay, I’ll buy you.”
“really? thank you.”
“Go back to the dark room. Don’t make a problem.”
“What’s a bumblebee?”
“Yes, the haven of fate. It must be a dungeon now.”
Cartval frowned.
“Why is it my fateful haven?”
“Don’t gossip and go back. I’ll make you the tofu (血豆腐) later.”
“What else is that?”
“hurry.”
I pushed the guy who couldn’t go.
It seems that he doesn’t know that he has escaped yet, but there is a degree to it.
It’s time to slowly figure it out.
He turns reluctantly and seeps into the shadows. Vampire-only skill Hide Shadows.
Seeing it in person is a different feeling.
As I watch the code wriggling and disappearing, a voice resounds in the air.
―The auction will start soon. All participants, please enter as the venue.
Is the time already like that? I couldn’t even eat because of him.
He sighed, put down the plate, and walked to the venue. Inside, luxurious private seats were placed everywhere. After choosing roughly anywhere to sit, the host enters and takes out various things.
“Thank you for visiting the auction today! A lot of bad things have happened lately… … That can’t stop our cravings for consumption!”
pu ha ha ha. Laughter erupts in the audience.
I don’t know which part is funny. Is it a gag code that only people of this era can understand?
The gag told me to do it myself, and I checked the code on the podium.
Except for the attribute stone, it doesn’t matter. I lost interest there and was distracted.
The sound of explaining things, the sound of bidding, etc.
how much time has passed Finally, the original target came out.
“The next item is a superlative fire attribute stone! As everyone here knows, it’s not something you can buy with money. Some say that some wizards call it ‘curbstone’ because they say that you can only get it by touching a kite.”
The host lifted up a shiny red stone.
‘… … Will I have enough money to buy it? Just bid?’
As I was about to raise my hand, Cartbal looked at me with weeping eyes behind the curtain.
Is that really an old man over 50?
I think it’s correct to calculate in human age.
He sighed and lowered his hand. I thought about blood stone and looked at it.
If it is called a ‘curbstone’ because it can only be met by touching a kite, the bloodstream stone is treated as a fantasy stone because it can’t be touched by a kite.
He looked at the top-class attribute stone, which was bid for five hundred gold, with bitter eyes.
I guess I’m not related to you. See you in the next life.
As I glanced at the quick-witted stones disappearing behind the curtain, the host drew attention with applause.
“Finally the highlight of today’s auction! A vampire called the nobility of the night, the king of corpses! Well, bats and mosquito cubs are more suitable for what they do. ha ha ha.”
pu ha ha ha.
Laughter broke out among the crowd.
Again, it’s not funny, but I know what you mean.
At first glance, it may seem that they are undermining their products, but that is a strategy.
Strategies to offset the resentment against heterogeneous peoples.
I glanced at Cartval’s expression.
It’s a little bit angry, but it’s not serious. Well, it doesn’t take a day or two for people of different races to be treated like that.
Especially vampires.
The power is weak, so it’s not a race that can’t spread its flag even in the Alliance of Different Races and Gelian. Just by looking at the name of the prince who was captured as a slave, you can see how weak their power has become.
“It’s natural that this race is stupid, but it was so bad that he didn’t even want to see the sunlight and was locked up in a coffin.”
… … Maybe it’s just that that bastard is an asshole.
Although it hates sunlight by its nature, it doesn’t kill it. It’s just a little bit bad.
But what? Can’t you run away because you don’t like the sunlight?
I looked at him with puzzled eyes, but he hid his face completely. A reaction worse than when the entire race was insulted earlier.
I have to say I’m glad to know that it’s sold out.
Should such a thing be called the next vampire king nominee?
“Still, don’t worry, as the results of the test showed no disease and is strong. The starting price is 500 gold!”
“600 Gold!”
“700 Gold!”
It’s hot right from the start. It was such a rare sight. Except for Layton, on all continents, slaves of different races were banned.
Still, there was no anxiety.
In the beginning, it was just the guys who stabbed me for fun.
Anyone who really wants to buy it doesn’t want to participate.
Obviously, once you exceed 1,000 gold, the number of participants decreases noticeably.
This is the real fight from now on.
“1200 gold.”
Murmur murmur.
People’s eyes turned to the woman who raised her hand. Because 1,200 gold is an amount that can never be ignored, no matter how rich you are.
As you can see, it definitely stands out amongst them. It means that the accessory flashes Zone X.
“1,500 gold.”
The president’s murmur grew louder.
this time it’s a man
Surprisingly, there was no flashing. Instead, he has a couple of slaves of different races beside him.
that’s just another
“1,550 gold.”
“1,600 gold!”
“1,650 Gold!”
“… … 1,700 gold.”
Glitter and Torai stare at each other.
“I know you don’t have any more money, but are you giving up?”
“I know that the last time you spent a lot of money… … .”
“I don’t have that much free time yet.”
“Me too.”
Glitter stared at Torai for a long time, then vigorously raised her hand.
“… … 1,710 gold.”
“1,720 gold.”
“1,730 gold.”
“… … 1,740 gold!”
“1,750 Gold!”
… … What are they doing? It’s a fight for self-esteem.
I sighed and raised my arms.
I’ll have to participate before it overheats, and then I’ll climb without knowing the end.
“2,000 gold.”
At the same time, everyone in the president looked at me and opened their mouths.
A level of attention that cannot be compared to before.
2,000 gold is a huge amount of money even by Noblesse standards. It would be even more conspicuous if a kid who had never heard of it presented it.
Anyway, it was already too late to hide, so I raised my head proudly.
I have a lot of money John X. So give up
“2,000 gold has arrived! Anyone else want to bid?”
The moderator looked at Glitter and Torrey alternately, but they only bowed their heads. The host pauses a little more, and finally reaches out.
“If not, this auction will end here. Congratulations on winning the bid!”

X, I almost couldn’t live.
He looked at the remaining balance and sighed in relief. Looking at the cart next to me, I wonder if it feels good.
After the auction, I heard that they run a sparkling window, and they say that they are sodomy people who only eat different races. Knowing that, I don’t know if I’ll be able to laugh like that.
“You really know that I saved my life.”
“What are you talking about?”
“There is such a thing.”
I folded the document I was looking at.
The balance was empty, but it was not disappointing.
Money still feels like game money, so my sense of reality is low.
What’s your name Gold?
you’re too old
“The engraving is over.”
When I looked at the wrist at the wizard’s words, a guillotine was drawn.
The cart’s foot is a human figure with a collar.
Is this the aesthetic sense of the Middle Ages? It’s horror.
“As you can see, orders are not absolute. To the extent that they inflict terrible pain when violated. There may be a momentary rebellion, so please be careful.”
“yes.”
“Can I tell you about other precautions?”
“I do not need it.”
I replied dryly and turned around.
I didn’t mean to treat you like that just because I bought you as a slave. It’s enough to act like a moose.
“How long will it take to bring the bloodstone?”
“It takes a month. It’s quite a distance.”
In a month, Byron will be dipping salted fish with my organs.
“Bring it in two weeks.”
Cartwal looked at me with puzzled eyes.
“No, physically impossible… … .”
“Your sister is in the sanctuary. Call me and tell me to bring it.”
When I said it insignificantly, the guy was startled.
“Seo, do you know about the sanctuary? No, how could I have had an older sister before that… … .”
“I don’t know anything about that, set a midpoint and go and get it right away. Then it will be a week.”
“A week is too much! Two weeks is too short.”
“great. ten days. I guess I’m destined to be your master. How can a person be this kind?”
“… … .”
I have a lot of things I want to say, but my face is holding up. I had that kind of expression when my successor was close.
“what are you doing? time goes Did you give me a lot of leisure time, one week? … .”
“I’ll go right away!”
I looked at the cartbals disappearing into the darkness.
It’s pretty fast, but I thought I’d do it in five days.
Anyway, the attribute stone is a solution for now. Now I need to build up some magic.
walked home.

“… … Who are you?”
“Don’t play around.”
“No, really.”
Looking at Reinol’s face, it seems like he’s serious. I opened my mouth with an absurd feeling.
“It’s Ryan.”
“… … Rihanna?”
Reinol tilted her head for a while and opened her mouth with a trembling expression.
“The face is definitely the same, but… … .”
“The rest are similar. Rather, how about the progress of the trial court?”
I thought it was going to be long, so when I turned around, I got up from my seat, as if it was a rhyme.
“It seems that I have reached the level to teach. At least I understood.”
“Then can you teach me right away?”
“I don’t care… … Are you okay?”
Rinol pointed out. complete darkness. It’s too late to train.
“I’m fine. Why wasn’t Lynol sleeping?”
“What am I… … .”
Rinol muffled his lips and scratched his head.
It was obvious not to see. you were still training Because that’s all I’m doing these days.
Dark circles are clear on the face.
Magic has the property to keep the body in its original state. Naturally, the accumulation of fatigue is incomparable to that of ordinary people. You’d have to stay up all night for a few days to get away from the magic of a level 5 knight.
Seeing that, he sighed and spoke.
“It’s not all about just trying hard. You should think of rest as a kind of training.”
“It’s not something someone who asks you to teach me how to do it in the middle of the night.”
Rinol smiled and shook off her clothes and got up.
“I don’t care if you’re okay. It’s also a good time to focus.”
Then he came up to me and started to hold me.
cross-legged posture.
“Originally, I had to explain each pass through magic, but… … You don’t need it, do you?”
“yes.”
Because to my eyes, magic is seen as a code.
If you just use rynol’s sim method, follow it and you’re done. I think it’s a really deceptive ability.
“Then first, I’ll use my magical powers, so check it out and tell me if there’s anything you don’t understand.”
“I know.”
Lynol sat opposite me in the same position as me.
Then close your eyes and take a deep breath. Immediately, I could see the cords swimming inside the body.
Its speed is like watching the current of a valley.
You already have that level of skill, talent. what’s the slick In a matter of weeks, what would normally take years of training is achieved.
To be honest, I was a little worried because I looked depressed last time, but now that I look at it, I feel like an idiot.
If you whine with that talent, you should go out and die.
Anyway, that’s good for me too. It is easy to learn if you have a good textbook.
I threw away all my thoughts and followed the code with my eyes.
0101110101… … .
A feast of countless numbers.
At first, I liked it because of its high skill level, but the more I look at it, the more my eyes will fall out.
because it’s so fast
However, after a while, I got used to it. And soon after, I discovered a strange incongruity in the numbers.
01200102011… …
The number you see in the middle 2.
It was a number that could not exist in a binary code consisting of 0 and 1.
What that meant was an error.
