Novel Bin Chapter 421 - Horus
Old Mo sighed in his heart. However, he didn\'t say anything else as he fetch Little Mei in the courtyard. Little Mei was currently swinging her golden hammer as if it was a mere toy, "Little Mei, we will be going to the Horus Mountain. Your Senior Sister Yuna wants an item there for you. But you need to go with me."
Little Mei put down her hammer and nodded, "Uncle Mo! We\'re going somewhere? Okay, I\'ll go and prepare right now."
Old Mo just said a soft \'un\' and saw Little Mei going to her room. She might be changing clothes as she was sweating. After five minutes, she appeared again with a cute little pink dress.
Little Mei\'s beauty was already incomparable. But when she beautify hersel, she was more beautiful, that as if a celestial fairy had descended down to this mortal world.
Ever since her brother Jin Rou departed, she had been training herself so hard to become stronger. So that one day, her brother Jin Rou would acknowledge her. Though he already acknowledged this little kid since day one.
Old Mo\'s heart almost skipped a bit when he saw Little Mei wearing cute clothes. Ever since, she only had wore training robes and this was the first time to see her wear this kind. Of course, one should not understand Old Mo as he didn\'t have any fetish towards kids. It was just a feeling of goodness from seeing someone cute.
"Yuna Sierra has prepared a gate for us there. Shall we?" Old Mo smiles to Little Mei and asked.
"Un!" Little Mei smiled brightly. However, if one was a keen observer, one could see the loneliness in her eyes that buried very deep within.

"Welcome to Horus Auction, Where all of us are equal!" It was now the start of the auction. So the bunny-like host joyfully greeted the people around, "In this place, there\'s no use using of your background and face. Each has an equal standing and chance to get the items they want! Of course, as long as you have the money, that is."
The crowd bustled after hearing this. But Old Mo and the little princess beside him didn\'t produce any sound. He was clearly displeased. With the LD Sect\'s popularity and name, everyone would surely bow down and accept any of their requests, absurd or not.
But here in Horus, LD Sect was just a sect that needed to follow the rules. The Horus House had this iron rule of total fairness for everyone. So, even if they were threatened and humiliated, they would never and had never changed rule.
"Ah, how good must it be if I can flaunt my status. Damn." Old Mo was massaging his temples. But as a good person as he was, he was going to follow the rule of this place. After all, if he didn\'t, wouldn\'t he be kicked out and no longer have the chance to obtain that Forelotus? Unless he wanted a beating, he wouldn\'t dare to act recklessly here.
Beside him, though Little Mei was silent, her eyes were sparkling. It was the first time she had been in a bustling place like this. And that made her happy.
The bunny host stated more of their rules and the how could one get the item. The introduction was just brief and it only took less than five minutes.
In this large hall, there was no audience area. There were only ten rooms hanging above and a stage below. The rooms were glass-made and a bit transparent. So one could vaguely see the person inside. One room had one sect or powerhouse there.
Just imagine, only 10 sects had been able to get into this auction. Old Mo wondered how did Yuna Sierra do this? What strings did she pull?
Anyway, it wasn\'t the time for that. He needed to focus and make sure to buy that item.
"Since everything is now cleared, we will start the auction! Out of the three items we will be auctioning today, this is the first one!" The host happily shouted.
Then, a large hammer appeared. It was colored with black and jet-black diamonds adoring it. If one would look at it simply, no one would see anything special about this. However, if you observe carefully, it was more than what it appeared to be.
"This hammer is called Soul Hammer. This is made by the finest and strongest blacksmith of eons. The founder of the Blacksmith guild, Sujen!" The host introduced the item and everyone looked at it with bathed breaths, "You hear it right. This is a legitimate work of Blacksmith Sujen during his peak. And with our auction\'s name on the line, we will never deceive anyone! Of course, later you can inspect this yourself and see it if it\'s real or not."
The crowd expressed that there was no need for that. So, the auction went smoothly as expected.
"Very well, this Soul Hammer\'s price will start at 200,000 purple stones!" The host gave the signal to bid.
"250,000!" The room number 4 spoke. His tone was cold.
"350,000." The room number 3 counterattacked.
"500,000. Don\'t flaunt your wealth here. Because in terms of money, I don\'t lose." The room number 7 said with a mocking tone.
"Oh, so confident. Then, 900,000!" The room number 3 was seemed provoked and increased the price by several folds.
"1,200,000" The room number 7 didn\'t back off and fought back once again. Increasing the price at an unimaginable degree!
The host was clearly very happy. This hammer was only 800,000 purple stones in a generous estimation though it was a work of the blacksmith founder, it was just a mere scrap of metal that he failed to successfully create.
After two minutes, the bet on the hammer increased into a whooping 3,000,000 purples stones! That\'s more than three times the actual price! So, the bunny bost was further elated.
"Yep, this hammer is mine now." The person from room number 7 was happy to hear those gritting teeth inside others\' room.
He was about to stand up and mock others when he heard something that almost shook his inner sould out of his body.
"10,000,000."
