Rioneed: VRMMORPG

"It really can be a blessing or a curse. It's up to you to decide. The message I carry is simple. STAY AWAY FROM SEFIERA. If you head by this advice then you will get peace from us.

If you don't listen to this warning then you got yourself a new enemy. My personal advice to you is to listen to our warnings. We don't play or joke around.

If you become our enemy then I can guarantee to you that your village and your little guild will be destroyed in less than one month. Think carefully and choose wisely."

Ibro's bad premonition had occurred. He guessed this would be the issue as Sefiera was absent for such a long time. He smiled and said:

"Sefiera is my personal assistant. I didn't decide our relationship but she did. I have no authority in this matter."

"No, you have. Sefiera had chosen not to have any contact with a low one like you. You should stop any contact with her from now on or we will consider this as a refusal to our good gesture."

Ibro kept walking steadily towards the commerce guild. He didn't believe most of the words of this messenger. If Sefiera choose something like that then his presence had no value.

Ibro thought about another issue. He thought the connection between him and Sefiera was a one-way connection but it seemed he had the ability to connect with her too.

The thing was that he didn't know how he could contact her. He also couldn't ask this assassin about it as he would never tell him the way.

"What is your answer kid?"

"Give me some time. I actually got a lot of stuff to do."

"Take your time but be sure I will always be around you all the time. I hope you will be wise enough to know what is best for you."

Ibro ignored that threatening tone. He knew that the assassin wasn't just anybody. Would he use some skill or strange item to tag him?

He wasn't worried about that assassin but he was worried about Sefiera. It seemed that she had been subjected to some sort of a lock-up.

It also seemed if he contacted her then this lock-up would be ineffective. He didn't have any info about that mysterious power that held her. He needed info.

Info was the highest valuable commodity in every time and place. He had some options fortunately in front of him so he wasn't that worried. He reached his destination after a few moments.

That commercial guild was really big. In front of this huge building, there were two teams of guards who prevented anyone from entering. When Ibro reached them he understood what that was all about.

"No one would allow passing without showing the invitation ticket."

Ibro moved between the curious crowds.

These players were mostly curious about this auction which would happen in the next hours. Ibro approached the guards when one of them said in a serious tone:

"May I see your invitation ticket please?"

"I really don't have one, can I buy one now?"

"I'm sorry sir; our stock of tickets had been released and sold."

Ibro thought for a moment before asking:

"What if I have something to sell at this auction?"

The guard looked at him in doubt but he still couldn't refuse his request as he said:

"You then need to come with me to the manager of our chamber of commerce. Follow me please."

Ibro knew that guard doubted him but it appeared he had strict orders not to refuse anyone who came here to sell his products. Ibro didn't know that he was the one responsible for such a rule.

His own runes had stirred a huge storm of interest from many agents in many worlds. Even some royalties had asked for some of these runes. These royalties when asked about some that meant a number in five figures at the least.

Ibro walked behind the guard and passed through multiple halls before ending up in a wide luxurious hall. In the middle of this hall, there was a fat man with long few hairs on his head.

That man was sitting on a big desk surrounded by many items he was observing. These items seemed like gadgets that were offered to be sold here.

Ibro's presence here didn't catch that man's attention. He kept looking closely at the items around him. After a while, he sighed in disappointment. He noticed Ibro who was standing there in front of his desk with the company of the guard who said at once:

"I'm sorry to bother you, Mr. Olen. This man here says he has some items to sell."

"Show me your items. Hurry up, I have many things to evaluate."

Ibro didn't feel offended by this man's behavior. it seemed to him he had met so many disappointments in this auction. Ibro took out one of his Even runes and said:

'I have many of these runes. I have sold them before with 6 million gold coins but I need to put them in action under the same value at least if possible."

The eyes of Olen changed at once when he heard the words of Ibro. He stood up from his chair immediately and moved at a speed not matching with his huge body and reached to Ibro to take a closer look at this rune.

Once his eyes looked closely on this rune they shone immediately with bright light. He smiled in a strange way while saying:

"I suppose you are Mr. Rioneed, right?"

Ibro felt weird at first then he concluded that this man must have heard about his runes. he said at once:

"Yes, it's me. May I ask how did you know about me?"

"It's not only me but many other people are really eager to meet you.

Your runes sir has caused a lot of sensation in the whole world. Many people want to have our runes but can't reach you. This auction was made specifically for you. "

Ibro felt that man was exaggerating. Last time he checked the value of his runes didn't raise a lot. If his words were correct then why his runes value was still this low. Nonetheless, he didn't refuse these words of praise as he said:

"I want to sell some of my runes here at the auction. Can I know some details about it? I knew about this auction just now."

"Oh, we have published so many notices in the past couple of days here in the town and also in many adjacent towns. We even sent you an invitation to your account at the market today. Didn't you get it?"

Ibro knew he didn't receive it because he was busy with other matters. He said at once:

"I didn't receive it. So can I attend this auction then?"

"Sure, you are the star of this auction. This auction will be held across over 10k worlds at least. There are many royalties who came specifically to know you, sir.

I'm very glad that you managed to come to us at the right time. Anything you need will be provided to you as a gift from our commercial guild and the chamber of commerce behind us."

Ibro smiled wryly. This man was really a merchant man. He knew how to do business. He already felt satisfied with his attitude.
