LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 137: An Item Belong to this World
*********
Even though Eclipse said those words to Arico in a straightforward manner, within his thoughts, the world-hopper couldn't help but to looked at the spear within his hands with great familiarity.
'I knew it! Not only the Ark Legacy but this weapon…. How in the world….?!'
Eclipse thoughts became turmoil because the spear within his hands isn't some normal spear that could be seen within the Blacksmith's forges or other selected weapon stores out there.
[The Stone of the Wind], the first item in the auction event, it seems that no one could appraise this item that much because this stone serves as nothing but a camouflage to its true appearance.
This weapon…. Is the weapon Eclipse owned in one of the worldlines that he world-hopped into!
'Just what is truly going on here?! Why two of the items that I owned from other worldlines suddenly appeared in this world?!'
Eclipse gripped the majestic spear within his hands and couldn't help but have an additional set of questions that's swarming though his mind.
'Why is it here? How is it possible that two of the items that I owned from different worldlines that I world-hopped into suddenly made an appearance in this world? Does the Lord God Jules know about this? Or what about Sir Red? What's truly the situation back at the Main House System?'
No matter how much he tried to come up with questions after questions, Eclipse wouldn't be able to get answers from the questions that he formulated.
Also, as much as he wanted to consult this to his superior but without the system interface for him to reconnect at the Main House System, the world-hopper doesn't have a choice but to halt those questions at the back of his mind for now.
"Hey, are you alright? You looked pale for some reason."
Eclipse snapped from his thoughts when Arico called out for him and shook off his head and said; "Nothing. I-I just got some things to think about."
The world-hopper explained in a nonchalant manner, but the Slayer Agent knew that there is something that's bugging on the world-hopper's thoughts, but Arico didn't pursue or forced the young man to speak up but change the subject as he looked at the spear within Eclipse's hands.
"So, that's what you're talking about? Are you telling me that the stone you purchased from the auction is nothing, but a camouflage and the true appearance of that stone is this good-looking spear?"
Eclipse sighed as he nodded; "Yes, this is the true appearance of that stone."
Arico crossed his arms around his chest as he looked at the spear with amusement; "It's understandable for you to purchase that item for 900 Cosmos but, how did you know about this item?"
Eclipse sighed and since the room is filled with the barrier that he activated, and the world-hopper made sure that no one would dare to eavesdropped into their conversation, but he wasn't going to tell the Slayer Agent the exact words but only leave some vague answers.
"Let's just say…. A kind of familiar feeling, I guess?"
'Here we go again with his vague statement but if he didn't want to talk about it then, I won't pursue it any longer.'
The Slayer Agent thought and said; "Well, if that's the case then, I won't pressure you to tell me about it. Anyway, since the true appearance of that stone had lifted, I could now sense an extremely powerful force coming from that spear."
Arico change the topic as he said something about the spear that's within Eclipse's hand and the world-hopper raised an eyebrow at him and said; "You could feel that?"
The Slayer Agent nodded; "Although I could feel that powerful force coming from that spear, but I'll admit, I couldn't handle that kind of power like what you're doing right now."
'Of course, you couldn't handle its power and that's because this spear isn't just an ordinary weapon at all.'
He didn't want to dwell into those thoughts that much and could only look at the spear within his hands with a conflicted gaze.
Eclipse didn't know what to do but for now, the world-hopper opened his inventory and stored the spear inside as he will think about it later on how to deal with it.
"What's the situation right now, Arico? Have you found him within the crowds, or have you noticed something different within those VIP rooms from the balcony?"
Back to their designated mission, Arico sighed in frustration and shook off his head and said; "Still negative. I couldn't find him everywhere within the crowds and also, I tried to peer through one of the balconies of the VIP rooms but there is no avail to it."
Eclipse; "D*mn it! But we couldn't just leave this place that easily. Best we could do for now is to observe further from this station."
"ABOUT THE SECOND ITEM TO BE AUCTIONED TODAY…. THE ONLY DESCRIPTION FOR THIS ITEM IS THAT…. IT CAME FROM A RENOWNED HOUSEHOLD… THAT'S ALL!"
Both of them immediately looked at the front center stage when the MC gave a very plain description about the second mysterious item that would be auctioned for this event.
"From a renowned household? Well, that makes sense if the information about this item is strictly confidential since it came from a well-known household but from whose household could that be? Hmmm?"
Arico said while holding his lower chin to think about it and the world-hopper just sighed because of his companion's weird antics this time around.
'From a renowned household? What kind of item that they need to put it on the auction event and then make it strictly confidential about the details of this item?'
Eclipse just observe the scene once more and if that item catches his interest, then, might as well join the bid once more.
'Well, perks of being an S-Rank adventurer in this Empire and it has a lot of privileges compared back at the Cranus Continent.'
At that moment, the world-hopper shook off his head as he didn't want to think about that place anymore since he is no longer bound in that world anymore.
"AND NOW, THE WAIT OVER! LET'S HOP INTO IT! THE SECOND ITEM FOR THIS AUCTION EVENT IS…."
The audience are now watching as they look forward for this item that seems much more important compared to the first item that was sold earlier because of its confidentiality that the establishment stated about this item.
However, most of them are merely curious about the item's origin and they couldn't wait to get it for themselves.
At the front center stage, the MC finally uncovered the second mysterious item by pulling out the white cloth that conceals the item and what welcomes them is a good-looking radiant sword with crescent style shape on the cross guard.
If taken a closer look on the item, there are strange carvings at the edges of the blade and others couldn't understand what it means but most of them think if it as some sort of engravings or just a mark from someone who forge this weapon.
"What a fine-looking blade!"
"The tip of the blade is not that great and could only use as some sort of decoration though."
"But the blade came from a mysterious renowned household, according to the MC and the other details are strictly confidential that's why they couldn't give us more information about this item."
"However, looking at that fine-looking blade, it doesn't look like some sort of ordinary blade for decoration. If polished properly, it can also be used as a weapon though."
Arico frowned as he scan the item that was presented in the auction; "Interesting. A refined blade from a mysterious renowned household and yet, it would be auction just like that? Hmmm…"
Eclipse, on the other hand, clenches his fists as he glared at the item that's being auctioned right now because… that item…. the world-hopper recognized that item!
Even though the blade wasn't in the good shape since it wasn't being taken good care of, the world-hopper still managed to recognize the blade and its engravings.
However, this time, it wasn't an item from the other worldlines that he world-hopped into but… an item belong to this worldline…
More specifically…
"ACCORDING TO OUR MYSTERIOUS SELLER, THIS BLADE DOESN'T HAVE A NAME ON IT BUT IT WILL DEPENDS ON THE NEW OWNER ON HOW TO NAME THIS ITEM AND BECAUSE OUR MYSTERIOUS SELLER IS BEING GENEROUS RIGHT NOW, OUR SELLER TOLD US THAT THIS BLADE HAS SOME SORT OF ICE ELEMENT IMBUED ON IT AND FOR WHAT THEY STATED, THIS BLADE IS GOOD FOR SOMEONE WHO HAD ICE ELEMENTAL AURA OR AFFINITY!"
After the MC finished his statement, Arico whistles as he looked at the blade and said; "Well, that's perfect. An Ice Elemental imbued blade could be a good match for someone who shared the same attribute to its owner. What do you think, Eclipse?"
Arico said and after he stated those words, he looked at his companion to ask for his opinion but as he was about to ask Eclipse about it, the Slayer Agent immediately backed away from him because of the sudden pressure that he emitted.
'D*mn it! What's wrong with him?!'
