Chapter 653 Thief!


"Staff of the Moon Temple," The auctioneer announced loudly, followed by the weapon's stats.


Liam slapped his palm in excitement. It was finally his turn to make some real gold, to milk these filthy rich elves for a good profit.


The first bid quickly went up, and it was for a whopping 50,000 gold coins.


"Come on. Come on. 1 million. I need a million." Liam anxiously muttered. To his surprise, the next bid was from the person sitting next to him.


"60,000 gold coins," Lyana shouted. A few elves turned to look at them. However, her bid was quickly outdone by another couple of elves.


"80,000 gold coins!" Lyana bid for the staff again. It looked like she was not ready to give up easily.


"Huh?" Liam started sweating. Everything happened too fast, so he needed a second to grasp what was going on. Thankfully, another couple of bids came in quickly, raising the price to 200,000 gold coins.


Before the woman could open her mouth again, he hurriedly pulled the elf closer and whispered in her ears, "Why are you bidding for this?"


Lyana blushed and said, "To help you, Sir Liam." She mumbled in a low voice.


Yup. It was just as he had assumed. Liam shook his head helplessly and quickly explained the situation to her. "I forged this item."


"WHAT?" The elf almost shouted in panic.


"Shhh. I made this. I am selling this. So don't waste your gold coins." Liam wanted to say, 'You can buy me something else instead,' but he refrained from speaking his mind.


The truth was that he might really need her help soon. With all the items being auctioned here, finding something valuable, such as an elixir or a cure for Luna shouldn't be challenging.


Liam was precisely aiming for this specific item. Even if no such thing popped up in the auction today, he still needed to gather the required funds in case it becomes available in the future.


"I should also try auctioning the body cleansing elixir?" Liam made a mental note.


As soon as he finished forging the staff, an option to put the item in the auction house automatically popped up in front of him on the system interface as part of the quest.


This was why he was easily able to do this. He might have to come here personally for the next item and deal with the more minor details, which shouldn't be too much of a hassle.


Depending on his training schedule, he should definitely be able to forge more items and concoct more elixirs in his free time.


And as for the training schedule, Liam's grin widened. The old elf should finally accept him after today because…


"Are you okay?" Liam snapped out of his thoughts and asked the elf sitting next to him. She was still staring at him with her mouth wide open.


"Ahem. Yes. Sir Liam." Lyana quickly adjusted her posture. She knew how terrifying Liam was, but even in her wildest dreams, she didn't think that this was possible.


Forging an Epic ranked weapon! At such a young age! Gulp! She couldn't fathom the depth of his talent and prowess.


She clenched her fists in excitement as she and Liam started paying attention to the soaring prices.


Perhaps because some elves regretted not bidding on the previous semi-legendary item and losing out, the final bid for the staff was a whopping 750,000 gold coins!


Liam couldn't believe his eyes. With these many gold coins, he was probably the wealthiest player alive in the whole world at the moment. All the top guilds in the Gresh Kingdom combined wouldn't amount to his range.


However, this was nothing to be excited about. Money was simply a currency, a means to an end. And the end he needed was valuable precious items. If he could only get something good for Luna…


Silently, he paid attention to the rest of the auction house, but the specific item he was looking for never showed up. There was nothing related to a spirit beast put up for auction.


Slightly disappointed, he stood up and walked out along with Lyana and the hundreds of other elves pouring out of the auction house.


"Sir Liam! We should celebrate!" The elf excitedly exclaimed.


"Okay." Liam smiled and nodded. The two of them then tried to make their way out of the crowd to the auction house office first to collect Liam's gold coins.


"The auction house usually takes 20%, so you should get around 600,000 gold coins, Sir Liam." The elf excitedly explained to him.


The two of them swam across the crowd and finally found the shore. They had only just entered the building when three familiar faces blocked their path.


"Lord Saevel!" Lyana was livid. She just couldn't understand how this darned guy managed to find them even amidst this huge crowd! Even Liam was impressed. This guy was a dedicated stalker.


"Lord Saevel, please move out of our way. We have some important business to attend to." Lyana spoke firmly.


However, the elf in front of her casually laughed it off. Since talking to her was not bearing any fruit, he no longer seemed interested in doing that. Instead, he started shouting loudly.


"Filthy human! How dare you try and steal from me!"


"Guards! Guards! Thief! Thief!"


The three elves started shouting loudly, immediately attracting the attention of every single elf around them. It only took a second, and suddenly all eyes were on Liam, the only human being in the elven lands.


"What? No. No. Sir Liam did not steal anything. These are all lies. False accusations." Lyana started panicking. She knew and understood the prejudice and contempt the elves held for human beings very well.


That's why she also knew how bad this situation was. If Liam was caught in the middle of something like this, he probably wouldn't even get a hearing and would be directly sentenced to death.
