Talent Swallowing Hero-Chapter 49 Moonlight Unicorn

Besides the beautiful auctioneer, there was a giant cage. Inside the cage, a white-coloured horse was sitting with emotionless eyes.

The horse had two wings on its back and a shining horn protruding from its skull.

“The fifth item of the auction is a rank 9 enslaved moonlight unicorn.”

At the same time, a white stone appeared in the auctioneer’s hand as she spoke, “As long as you have this stone, this moonlight unicorn will follow your orders.”

‘Enslaved moonlight unicorn.’

‘Moreover, it is a rank 9 mutated beast.’

‘So, they got the mother and the egg. It looks like the Icefeather family has good connections and has a lot of luck.’

Everyone was surprised to see the moonlight unicorn in the cage as they became jealous of the Icefeather family for their connections and luck.

“There is no starting price for this mutated beast. You can start the bidding.”

The response to the moonlight unicorn’s egg proved that the participants were very much interested in the moonlight unicorn.

So, she didn’t state the initial price.

“One million.” f𝐫𝑒𝗲𝙬𝒆𝚋𝐧૦𝘃𝗲l.c𝚘𝘮

Someone directly raised the price to one million hero coins when the auctioneer finished her words.

“Scoff,…you want to buy a rank 9 moonlight unicorn with a million hero coins? Dream on.”-.

“Five million hero coins.”

The Boundless fangs raised the price five times.

“Graceful swans bid six million for the moonlight unicorn.”

“Cloudriver family’s bidding price is nine million.”

Once the price reached nine million hero coins, everyone started hesitating to raise the price.

Because a regular enslaved rank 9 mutated beast costs around three-five million, and since the moonlight unicorn is a unique mutated beast, its price should be around seven-eight million hero coins.

Now, its price is already nine million hero coins. So, they thought about whether it was a good thing to buy it.

“10 million Hero coins.”

After seeing that the initial excitement of the participants cooled down, the city leader raised the bid to 10 million Hero coins, making Oliver excited.

‘Sister Amy, isn’t it wrong to enslave the mutated beasts?’

On the other hand, Julia asked Amy in a disappointed tone.

Even though she knew that the humans enslave the mutated beasts for their personal uses, she never expected that her sister’s family was selling the enslaved mutated beasts.

‘Julia, that’s how the world works. There are no rules in the world when you have enough strength.’

Amy could only sigh as she knew what Julia might be thinking in her head.

Even Amy didn’t like doing business with the enslaved mutated beasts, but they were just the middle-man, and the commission for these items was very high.

When it comes to money, her father didn’t mind selling the enslaved humans, not to mention selling the enslaved mutated beasts.

‘…’

As for Leo, he looked at the lifeless eyes of the moonlight unicorn, making him remember something from his past.

”Black suits’ is behind it.’

Leo knew who was selling the enslaved moonlight unicorn because he had seen their enslaving techniques.

Compared to the enslaving technique of the manticores, the ‘Black suits’ didn’t want their enslaved beasts or humans to think straight.

Other than following the orders of the one who holds the soul stone, the enslaved beings couldn’t do anything.

‘This shows the ‘Black suits’ are operating in Phirie city.’

Leo was already doubtful of them when he saw two of their members yesterday, and today, he had confirmed their existence in Phirie city.

“Our mighty city leader is willing to pay 10 million Hero coins. Is there anyone who can bid against him?”

The beautiful auctioneer looked at Leo, hoping he would surprise everyone again with the bid.

“Once…twice…”

“One million ten thousand hero coins.”

As she expected, Leo raised the bid, making everyone surprised for a moment before shaking their heads.

Because the city leader was already buying the moonlight unicorn at an overpriced range and not the young man increased by another 10000 Hero coins.

‘He doesn’t know the value of the money.’

‘Ignorance is bliss.’ 𝘧𝚛𝗲𝘦𝚠𝙚𝙗𝙣o𝙫𝗲𝚕.𝐜o𝓂

Some were shocked, whereas the others shook their heads at Leo’s ignorance.

“City leader, I am just a lone mercenary, and I truly need a companion like a moonlight unicorn with a wide range of skills. So, I hope you will not mind me bidding against you.”

In the next second, Leo stood up as he informed the city leader about his reason for bidding on the item.

‘A lone mercenary? Interesting.’

Theodore nodded his head and replied, “Since you are in such dire need of a companion, I will let you have it.”

“As expected of the mighty supreme hero of Phirie city.”

Leo scoffed in his heart; however, he praised the City leader on the surface.

“But, father. I need it.”

On the other side, Zander was filled with anger as he asked for the moonlight unicorn.

“Sure. However, I will not bid for that item then.”

Theodore nodded his head as he asked in a low voice, ‘So, which one do you want? This enslaved beast or that thing?’

‘…’

Zander didn’t say anything as he remained silent and thought, ‘Once I get the item, I can catch as many rank 9 mutated beasts and monsters as possible.’

“Good.”

Theodore nodded his head and was satisfied with his son’s choice.

“The moonlight unicorn is bought by our young hero Leo.”

No one bid after Leo, and he bought the moonlight unicorn successfully.

‘Phew…now, I will have some funds to bid for those two items.’

Mr. White heaved a sigh of relief after seeing that Leo paid the money for the moonlight unicorn.

“Our young hero has successfully bid for four out of five items. So, my Icefeather auction house has prepared a little gift.”

Oliver stood up from his seat before the beautiful auctioneer could reveal the next time.

“Huh?”

Leo raised his brows and thought, ‘What is he doing?’

“Please bring the special item.”

Oliver asked someone to bring the item as he gave brief information about the item.

“It was found in a ‘God ruins’; however, no one could appraise it because it was a very high-grade item.”

“I hope the young hero Leo could make good use of it.”

Compared to before, Oliver’s attitude towards Leo had changed entirely.

‘Is he planning to give away that item?’

Amy looked at her father and silently thought in her head.

Soon, a servant bought a small gift box and gave it to Leo, who opened it without wasting time.

‘This is…’

“Thank you for the special gift, Family head Oliver.”

Leo was pleasantly surprised with the item inside the gift box as he looked at Oliver and thanked him.
