"You said, slave traders? How many auction houses are there?"
"Only one auction house, your majesty, multiple slave traders come to this auction house to auction their slaves "
"Hmm, what's this auction house called?"
"Unicorn Hair"
"How does someone become a member?"
Thanks to the dragon king and Reghys, he didn't lack wealth and since attacking an auction house that might serve the most powerful beings in the may have some unknown consequences, he planned to take a subtle approach first before picking a fight with the auction house.
"That too, I don't know, your majesty"
"Then I should personally go and ask them"
WIth a heavenly level being like Reghys beside him, he was almost untouchable and since he was not going to a battle, he didn't worry about his current state.
"Can you release him now?"
Don whispered to Reghys as she closed her eyes and muttered something under her breath.
When Reghys opened her eyes, the glimmer in Clemo's eyes disappeared.
Lord Clemo saw Don and Arwen staring at him and he had no idea why
"Your majesty?"
Lord Clemo tilted his head like a puppy and asked
"He won't remember anything"
Reghys waved her hand.
"Let's go back to the castle"
Don stood up to leave the tea house as Reghys and Arwen followed him behind.
"What just happened?"
Lord Clemo asked himself and rushed behind them.
***********************************
Just as Don returned to his castle, he saw Ken and a blonde-haired girl waiting for him in the throne hall.
"Its Amaryll"
Arwen whispered to Don as Ken and Amaryll bowed
"Your majesty"
"Ken, Amaryll"
Don nodded at them as he climbed the stairs and slouched on his throne lazily.
"Lord Ken, where did you come from? And this is"
Lord Clemo looked confusedly at Amaryll
"Meet Amaryll, Lord Clemo, she��s going to oversee the hotels and the tea houses"
"Oh?"
In Lord Clemo's eyes, she seemed too young to run these precious establishments but since Don himself said so, he wasn't going to question.
"Miss Amaryll"
Lord Clemo slightly bowed as Amaryll let out a gentle smile as a sign of respect for Don's subordinate.
"Lord Clemo"
"Leave us alone"
Don said as Lord Clemo gave a quick bow and left the throne hall leaving them alone.
After seeing Lord Clemo leaving the throne hall, Ken stepped towards Don and retrieved a diamond-shaped metal that had metal wires coiled around it and some kind of blue liquid flowing inside.
"Your majesty, you're not going to believe this"
Ken couldn't hide his excitement as he held the device out towards Don.
"I see you attached that weird thing into the glimmer"
As usual, he attached the glimmer to the chain on the neck and placed it on his chest. The new glimmer was lighter than the previous one and the surface of this glimmer had a cold chill to it.
Besides the lightweight and the chill, he didn't feel much different but when he looked at Amaryll, his eyes went wide.
Reghys wondered what made him surprised while Ken rubbed his hands in excitement.
"Amaryll, are you still wearing the mask? And you're a peak master?"
Hearing Don, she was confused and shocked at the same time as she rubbed her cheeks and pinched them.
"The mask is still on and how do you know I reached the peak master level?"
Don's mind froze hearing Amaryll as he looked at Arwen and then, it happened again. The effects of the magical mask disappeared before Don's eyes as he could see Arwen's real face with elven features and he somehow sensed Arwen's cultivation level as it just appeared in his mind.
"Peak Great master?"
Arwen wondered why he looked so confused and shocked but he slowly nodded.
"Tell me what's happening?"
Don heard Reghys's voice and when he turned to look at her, he almost fell from his throne as he saw a huge golden scaled dragon staring back at him.
And just like before, Reghys's cultivation level appeared in his mind like a flash. Even though he knew Reghys's cultivation level, the sudden thought felt different as he could even tell that soon, she would reach the mid-level.
He was somehow able to sense it and what more importantly, he could see her real self.
"Ken, what is this?"
He sensed Ken's cultivation level as the Mid Master when he looked at him.
"Your majesty, I've never seen such a device in my life or even heard such thing exists"
When they were in the underground with Aathreya, he thought he only grabbed the golden elixirs but he accidentally took a rusty circular device and a few strands of hair.
He gave the hair and the device to Ken to put them in the treasury but now it seemed like the rusty old thing was an ancient artifact.
"Hey, tell me what you're talking about?"
It was very weird for Don to see the big dragon staring at them confusedly as Don removed the device from his chest and then the big dragon turned into an elegant woman in his eyes.
"Here"
Looking at her leaning towards him with prying eyes, Don gave the device to Reghys.
"I call the device, the Oracle"
Arwen and Amaryll waited patiently for them to explain what's happening.
"cool"
Reghys gasped.
"Your majesty, the Oracle somehow dispel the effects of the mask as well as show the cultivation level of the others to the wearer"
"Okay"
Don let the information sink in
"What else can it do?"
Just like Ken said, no one knew such a device exists and if someone knew about this device, it would shake the entire world. Even the most powerful being in this world didn't have the ability to sense someone's cultivation level without seeing the magical fluctuations.
Don didn't care about what the device might do for others, but for him, it was a priceless treasure. Until now the cultivation level of others has always been a mystery to him and he had to plan everything extremely careful and even if he planned everything, if his opponent surprised him with a higher level of cultivation, the consequences would have been dire.
But now with this device, no one could surprise him with their cultivation level because he would know it before they even show their magical fluctuations.
"As far as we have seen, the wearer can see through any disguise if the wearer concentrate enough and sense the cultivation level of anyone who is in front of the device "
"EEEK!"
When Amaryll heard Ken, she squealed and ran behind Arwen and covered her body with her hands.
"Did...did you see me... naked?"
She was embarrassed to the point where her face completely blushed red
"Ken?"
Don didn't have any perverted thought but he wanted to hear from Ken whether the device could see through clothes.
"No, your majesty, the wearer can't see through the clothes"
Ken sighed as Reghys nodded at Amaryll.
"yes"
"Are you sure?"
"I'm a dragon, elf, I don't lie like humans and Astrels"
Reghys rolled her eyes as Amaryll slowly stepped aside from Arwen but she still looked cautiously at the oracle in Reghys's hand.
"But who knows, in the future, I might be able to tweak the oracle to do so?"
Ken teased Amaryll and winked at her
"Don't you dare, you pervert old man"
Amaryll gave a death stare at Ken as he chuckled and looking at her blushed face, Arwen too joined Ken and laughed.
"Your majesty!"
Suddenly Don heard Joel's voice and when he looked at where the voice came from, he saw Joel excitedly running towards him as he had something that Don would like.
"I found the alchemist you asked for, your majesty"
**************************************
(A day ago)
"Tsk tsk tsk, I told you not to disappoint me, Kayako"
King Noa said looking at the woman in chains while a half naked who wore only a piece of cloth to cover his lower body was feeding grapes to King Noa.
The woman had mud stains on her face, hair and her clothes were torn.She had the features of a beautiful woman, but now she resembled a poor beggar on the streets.
The two men beside her looked even worse as they had wounds all over their bodies and their faces were deformed because of the beating they took from King Noa's guards.
"I know you're not at the level of the alchemist god, Henkie daams or even at your previous sect master, Horikage but still, how hard can it be to concoct a simple pill like Weludin?"
"It's..not...a simple pill...you bastard"
The brawny man on Kayoko's right stuttered as he wriggled himself to escape from the chains.
"Is that how you talk to your queen?"
King Noa pouted and looked at the half naked man as he disappeared from Noa's place and appeared beside the brawny man.
"No, don't"
But before the words could escape Kayoko's mouth,the half naked man kicked the brawny man in the face with so much force as Kayoko saw a couple of teeths flying before her.
"Please stop"
Tears flowed out of Kayoko's bloodshot eyes but the half naked didnt stop beating the brawny man.
The brawny man growled in pain as King Noa rolled his eyes
"I think he had enough, Teru"
Only when he heard King Noa, he stopped kicking and appeared beside Noa again.
While the man resumed feeding Noa the grapes, Kayako crawled towards the brawny man and she couldn't stop her tears falling onto his face.
"Nanbu, are alright?"
Nanbu,the brawny man coughed up more blood and tried to smile
"you…(cough) seriously...ask(cough)...this...now?"
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
