I nodded, it was the way the Lucifage allowed a way to basically state "We're above you, remember that" it was a nice little touch that each member from the Lucifer Six appreciated.
Although the room that was meant for the lower ranks wasn't by any means shabby.
Four large and pristine quartz pillars supported the room, to the side were tables with silver bidding paddles laid upon it; clearly meant for anyone tending to participate in the auction.
The room was dawned with red and silver aligned banners, wrapping around each pristine and quartz pillar loosely; it gave one a sense of nobility, which was exactly the intent of the Lucifage family.
And at the very front was a large podium; a beautiful hostess with a black and of quality dress, it revealed a modest amount of cleavage for one to enjoy, she sultry smiled as she waved at the devils.
Every auction needed a beautiful female to captivate the audience.
Impressed as I was, I took a sharp turn and went towards the side and to the staircase; one sharp and cold glance told the bodyguard enough as he allowed me passage, no one would be so foolish as to even attempt to enter if they weren't part of the six houses. But he was mostly there as a show of power more than anything else.
The V.I.P room was only slightly more impressive, with a bartender and a black leather couch present; there were of course some bidding paddles to the side; if one ever desired to bid for an item.
A full view of the auction below was displayed through a thin glass, we were able to look down below through the glass.
Besides the curious glances directed at me by the already present members; there wasn't anything noteworthy. Glancing at my father who passed me, I was in new territory so I merely waited for him to act first.
Watching as Doku sat down, his eyes gazed down below, I followed his actions as I gave a small grin of anticipation.
The auction has finally begun.
….
Auction:-
It needed to be stated that the currency in the DxD world functioned a bit differently than in the natural world. It was honestly rather simple but a bit complicated due to the fact that items could be bought in two methods.
One, through copper, silver, gold, platinum coins; a hundred copper was a single silver, a hundred silver was a single gold, and so on.
Two, equal exchange. Simply put, an item could be bought with another item that was of equal value.
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Morningstar Auction. We thank you for being here at this distinguished event. I am honoured to be your humble host, Alvera Ito…" My eyes could only widen as an array of inscriptions were lit around the podium. My shock was further extended as a blank hologram-like screen was shown to the audience.
They have holograms?
"Father, what exactly are inscriptions?" With little answers and too many questions, I turned to Doku as a source of knowledge but I was about to be disappointed.
"The art of Runes or as some call them, Inscriptions, is something few families and Devils hold knowledge to. It seems like the Lucifage family hired someone for the job, as for what they are… I'm not exactly entirely" Doku explained with what limited knowledge he had, I nodded as my curiosity and expectation of what the auction held only rose.
"The first auction item will now be presented!" Signs of excitement could be seen building from the crows below, the hostless surely knew how to rile them up. As the blank screen began to flicker, all gazes were directed to the large hologram.
"Now, please allow me to present the first item of this auction: a weapon retrieved from the Great War! A fractured blade from one of the Ten Seraphs!" In a flash, the blank screen presented a 3D model of the broken blade.
Cracks filled the base with copper like rust decorating the edges and yet everyone held their breaths, a blade from the Ten Seraphs! Not only were they beings that neared the Ultimate Class, but they were the elite of the elite, only below the Four great Seraphs!
"This blade, while broken, still holds enough power to have even Ultimate Class beings be wary! And fear not, for it possesses the capability of being wielded by a devil despite it being of the holy element!" The female's words only further enticed the lords of each house and some of the younger generation, with that blade; they could even near the high ranking houses!
"Alright. Now we will begin the auction for the Fractured Blade, with the starting bid of a hundred thousand gold!" Despite the large sum, a cacophony of bids resounded from the room.
Despite the ruckus caused down below, not a single word or sign of bidding could be seen in the V.I.P room. Four figures currently sat on the couch, the two tops of silver couldn't be missed by anyone in the underworld.
It was the Lord of the Lucifage house and his daughter who they both sat next to Doku and Tsuki.
"Oh? A fractured blade… wait a minute, isn't that...'' Lord Lucifage trailed off, a finger stroking his chin before he turned to Doku who deeply sighed; as if recalling a memory.
"That blade belonged to one of the Angels I fought in the war; I had higher priorities than scavenging the dead body of an enemy so I never obtained it" Father explained easily enough, even I couldn't help but morph my expression into one of amazement.
He fought one of the ten angels? Is he really that strong? Even as I used my Observe on him; I wasn't anywhere close to revealing any information about him, it merely relayed back what I already knew.
