Chapter 37 - The Auction Part 1

They both had eaten the energy magic pill and the reserve magic pills that Liam had put aside for them. So their mutual energy reserves had increased not by twenty percent as Liam had explained to them but by fifty percent, which was considerable.

Liam explained to them that it was probably due to the fact that Celia's magic pills were one hundred percent pure.

Celia wanted to stay a little longer at level two, she wanted to try doing six basic magic pills at the same time.

Without the fifty percent more spiritual energy it would have been impossible, but now that she had a perfect mastery of making four magic pills at the same time, and with that extra spiritual energy, she wanted to take a chance and make six magic pills at the same time.

This was her new challenge and she will have to wait until the auction is over and they leave for the Isle of Death to try it.

....

The day of the auction had finally arrived, the girls couldn't keep still they were too excited for that. Liam presented his card at the entrance and they were taken to a private lodge upstairs. They had a breathtaking view of the hall where the auction will take place and that looked like an opera theater.

Liam gave them some information : "Everyone you see in the lodges on the first floor are the ones with the biggest pockets, not just the major sects, there are also very powerful families ruling in some cities."

Celia had settled between Anaya's legs and was snuggled against her, Anaya had her arms around her and rested her head in the crook of her neck.

The girls weren't really interested in this sort of thing, Celia ended up asking : "If something interests us how do we place our bet ?"

Liam replied : "Okay, I see, you don't care about the powerful in this world. Well, in that case I'll take care of the social relations for both of you.

Celia you see the three boxes there, that's what will allow us to place our bets. You just have to enter the number you want and press the red button to validate your bet."

Anaya smirked : "It's pretty simple it's better like that."

Anaya who always was worried for Celia safety asked Liam : "Just in case we get into trouble, are there any more powerful people in this room than you ?"

Liam teasingly : "I didn't find any who could be a threat for me but what about you Celia, what if you used your ability to see if some are hiding their true level."

Celia had become excited by this challenge proposed by Liam, she said : "Ok, I'll scan them, let's try !"

Celia straightened up and suddenly froze as she approached the railing and looked around the room.

After just a few minutes, she came out of her extreme state of concentration and sat back down in Anaya's embrace : "It was very interesting, nobody comes close to you. However, you said that all the powerful would be in the lodges, but the most powerful are in the crowd downstairs and behind the curtain over there, there is also one person that I cannot scan at all."

She pointed to the corner of the room near the stage where the sale would take place.

Liam said : "Oh really ! I had spotted the two in the crowd and i could feel the one behind the curtain but I didn't think they were so powerful.

For the one you can't scan if you hadn't shown him to me I probably wouldn't have noticed him."

Liam continued to say confidently : "Um, even though they've hid their true level, I don't think they can match me."

Celia said to him : "They are four who have blocked their true level in the lodges, but I can tell you their true level if you want. Don't look at me like that, I didn't do it on purpose.

I was just curious what their true level was, and I slipped through their shield way too easily, so do you want to know ?"

Liam wanted to know ? Of course he wanted to know ! He wanted to know how she didn't do it on purpose to "go through" a force field.

Finally he said : "Yes, I'm interested. Tell me everything !"

Celia showed him two men seated side by side facing them : "The one on the right is a sapphire color and the one on the left is a black color."

Celia pointed to a man two lodges away from them : "This one has a golden color, and the other not far from us there, a black color.

The two that are in the crowd are more problematic, one is gold but its color has started to mix with silver, and the one next to him has a silver color, I cannot define its grade but I am sure you're more powerful than him."

Liam couldn't believe it, he had never seen these two men, if he had to fight both at the same time he wasn't sure he would win, it will mainly depend of the strength of the one with a silver color.

Though, it was very interesting, he thought he knew all the fighters with a silver color, and if you added the one Celia couldn't scan at all, it didn't feel so safe anymore, it was better to warn the girls.

Liam said after thinking : "Ok, thank you Celia that was very impressive like always. Anaya to answer your question, if we could avoid offending these two men it will be better, and i will keep an eye on the one in the corner too. The others are irrelevant so don't worry. Celia, finally this aptitude of yours is really very useful."

Anaya smirked : "Yes, I think so too. Well done my love, you are the best as always."

Anaya then took Celia's chin and gave her a fiery kissed which caused some murmurs in the room.

Celia was shocked, she didn't expect Anaya to kiss her in front of a whole crowd. Honestly, she didn't care, she even found it very exciting, but she still had to ask Anaya the question : "Sweetie, I'm surprised, you don't normally behave like that in public."

Anaya innocently : "Oh really ?"

She put her hands on either side of Celia's head and kissed her even longer, nibbling and sucking her lips until Celia moaned, then she stopped and ended up answering : "That man you showed who has a silver color, didn't stop to watch you since we arrived. Let's just say I mark my territory."

Celia was speechless : "You are marking your territory ! My baby wife, I'm sitting between your legs, your arms around me and your head was on the crook of my neck, I think your territory is already well defined, right ?"

Anaya stubborned : "I didn't like the way he looked at you, that's all."

Liam ends up getting involved : "Ok girls, I'm still here don't forget me, the sale is about to start, there are only fourteen items, so pay attention, and Anaya I said not to provoke these two men, remembered, so stop staring at him like you're gonna rip his head off."

Celia kissed Anaya gently on her lips and said, stroking her cheek : "You're way too cute sweetie, you will turn me insane and honestly that guy with the silver color are more interested in Liam than me."

Liam warning : "Cel ... enough ..."

Celia laughed : "What it is Liam ? If you tell me that you didn't notice it i won't believe you so are you interested ? Actually he is handsome don't you think ... or may be you've been single too long ... if i was you i will give it a try."

Liam tapped her head and said again : "Enough."

Celia smiled at him and returned her attention to the stage where the auction would take place.

Liam of course saw that this man was staring at him and he guessed he had felt when Celia had broken his force field so he was just curious, but hell ya this man was hot, shame that they have to leave right away otherwise he would have probably ask him out.

The man who served as auctioneer had arrived, it was the man with a gold color that Celia had detected behind the curtain.

After introducing himself, and remembering that the items sold would be available for collection at the end of the sale, he began by presenting the first item.

The first item was actually the magic pills made by Celia, a bundle of six hundred level two magic pills, one hundred of each kind. The auctioneer calmed the crowd, which had started to stir, and wondered why there were level two magic pills in this auction.
