Chapter 34 The Upcoming Auction
The news that Rose Lowe's Starlight Trading Company is about to auction a divine relic has been leaked.

In the past two days, the residents of Roserowe have clearly felt that the city has become much more lively. Every day, there are many new faces, all of whom are people who have come here because they heard about the divine relics.

There were nobles from the nearby city, adventurers who came here after hearing the news, and collectors with a serious hobby. Of course, there were more people who came here just to watch the fun. Not everyone could get their hands on divine relics, so the vast majority of them came here just to watch the fun.

With the increase in the number of outsiders, some places will certainly be busier than usual.

For example, the largest hotel in Rose Rowe - Heaton Paradise.

Although the proprietress, Shiris, has raised the room rate from two gold coins a day to five gold coins a day, it still cannot stop the outsiders who come to stay there.

Five gold coins may seem like a lot, but they generally only stay for two or three days, so at most they would only have twenty or thirty gold coins. People who can come here are basically rich or noble, and twenty or thirty gold coins may be a bit painful for them, but they can definitely afford it.

What's more, how could those nobles who usually think of themselves as high and mighty be willing to stay in such a cheap hotel with common people?

Heaton Paradise was indeed a lot busier than usual, but fortunately, there were enough maids trained by Shiris, and she could barely cope by asking a few maids who were supposed to be on vacation to work overtime.

"Ah, it's seldom this lively here."

At this busiest time, two bored-looking people were sitting in a corner of the hall.

"Is it okay for you not to help at this time?"

Luo Qiu looked at the seemingly idle girl in front of him and asked, if he remembered correctly, she seemed to be one of the maids.

Xia said indignantly: "It is because of this time that my mother does not allow me to help."

Hearing this, Luo Qiu smiled gloatingly and said, "You really are not trusted."

"What's it to you!" As the girl said this, she cast a reproachful look at her busy mother.

"It's good to have some free time. If you really have to work now, it will be very tiring."

"Do you think I'm the kind of person who is afraid of getting tired?" Xia said, staring at Luo Qiu.

"Who knows? Are all these people here because of that thing?" Luo Qiu was not stupid enough to expose the girl's true nature, so he cleverly began to change the subject.

"Well, even a third-rate adventurer like you has heard of it." Xia was not surprised. Even a three-year-old child like Rose Lowe might vaguely know that an extraordinary treasure will be auctioned tomorrow.

"Can such a prop be called a divine relic..." Luo Qiu's tone revealed helplessness.

A useless prop was actually hyped up by that old man as a divine relic, and it caused such a sensation in the city. Luo Qiu didn't know what to say. He could only say that the level of props in this world is quite low.

"What's your attitude?"

As if sensing Luo Qiu's weirdness, Xia said seriously: "That is a legendary item that can exert almost divine power. Only true heroes are qualified to hold it. A third-rate adventurer like you should stop dreaming."

"I'm not dreaming." Luo Qiu retorted.

"Your tone just now was so sour." Xia smiled. She thought she saw through this very 'tsundere' third-rate adventurer in front of her.

"Yes, yes, I was dreaming." Luo Qiu was too lazy to argue with the little girl. He pointed at the counter and said strangely, "It seems that the store manager is in trouble."

"What?" Xia looked in the direction Luo Qiu pointed in panic.

... "You actually asked me to stay and wait for a room?" Dark Elroken also felt insulted.

As one of the nobles of the Eroyeken family in the imperial capital, it was an honor for him to be able to live in this small country inn, but the manager here actually neglected him so much and let a distinguished noble from the imperial capital live in an inferior room, which was simply unforgivable.

Dak's fat and short palm slammed the counter hard. The severe pain on his palm made him grimace. He shouted angrily: "Don't say I didn't give you a chance. Give me four first-class rooms, otherwise I will tear down this shabby place of yours!"

Ah, how merciful I am. Dark Arrow is willing to praise himself in his heart for giving these civilians the opportunity to make money again and again. It is really too kind.

There was deep helplessness in Hillis's eyes. There were too many dignitaries and nobles who came in the past two days, and the housing supply had been extremely tight for a long time. Some people even booked several rooms through the relationship with the city lord. Now there was really not a single superior room left, let alone four.

Although I don't know where this fat nobleman in front of me came from, but looking at the bodyguards behind him, I can tell that he is probably a person of considerable background.

Three well-equipped adventurers, all wearing silver epaulettes on their shoulders, obviously three silver-level adventurers.

You should know that in Rose Lowe, silver-level adventurers are already considered the best. Even though a large number of outsiders have entered the city in the past two days, there are not too many adventurers above the silver level.

This unprepossessing fat man can be considered to have a good family background to be able to hire three adventurers at once.

But his arrogant attitude is really disgusting.

There was a look of embarrassment on Hillis's face, because there was really no room to give up, and the nobleman in front of her did not seem so easy to get rid of.

"What's wrong? Speak!" Dak spitted and banged on the counter, saying, "Hurry up and open four rooms for me, or I will really have someone do it!"

As he spoke, he glanced at the silver-level adventurers behind Dark, who nodded in understanding. One of them pulled out his sword three-quarters from its scabbard. The meaning was self-evident.

Xia, who was not far away, saw the fat man showing off in front of his mother. She clenched her fists and a faint wave of magic power surged out of her body.

Just when Xia was about to release magic, a hand grabbed her shoulder.

"Do you want to destroy this place?" Luo Qiu asked helplessly.

"You..." Xia was startled, but at the same time he woke up and suppressed the magic power in his body.

Indeed, although the decoration inside Xidun Paradise is made of extremely strong materials, it is still several levels lower than the "corundum" of Starlight Trading Company. A spell cast on it would probably cause heavy losses. Thinking of the consequences, Xia couldn't help but shrink his neck.

Wait, wait, wait. Xia then remembered the guy who stopped him.

Unexpectedly, he ran to the counter in the blink of an eye. What did that guy want? Even his mother, who had been in business for many years, had difficulty handling this matter. Did he think that going there would be of any use? He might get beaten up.

But considering that he just reminded me, I should help him. At least I can't let him get beaten too badly. After all, he is a customer of the store. Moreover, after two days of contact, Xia found that the man was unexpectedly interesting.

The other party is three silver-level adventurers. If they really start to fight, Xia can't guarantee that she will win, but it is impossible for the other party to defeat her easily. But the problem now is that she can't move freely in this place...

Just when Xia was having a headache, the scene that appeared over the counter made her beautiful eyes widen.

Luo Qiu and the fat nobleman left Hidon Paradise with their arms around each other, chatting and laughing. The three adventurers who were traveling with them also followed them and left...
