The Story of the Prince, Leiva
Chapter 14 - Auction II, Cronous Family
With great luck, they all came to the Martial Market at the planned auction and bid on this Low-class Spiritual Sword Technique. Leiva cares more about the outcome than the process. The auction took about four hours and the final results were known.
Finally, the Sacred Sword Skill was bid on by the leader of the Cronous Family and sold for a high price of 1jt silver coins.
“Cronous Family?" Leiva was amazed when he heard it.
After some time, led by the Shop Manager, Cronous, Rich Cronous, and Ambrella Cronous, one of the four prettiest girls on the Stardom Altar, walked onto the stage.
"Master and Miss, he is the seller of Sacred Sword Skills.” The Shop Manager announced with a wide smile, pointing at Leiva, who was sitting at the highest position.
Observing his gold-plated shoes, Cronous nodded and bowed slightly then said, “I'm Cronous, the head of the Cronous Family. May I know your name, Mister?”
Before entering, Cronous had received a description of this mysterious man from the Shop Manager. Knowing that he could become an important person in the royal palace with an incredible background. So, as the Head of the Cronous Family, he was in a lower position.
She was worried that she would be identified by Cronous and Ambrella, so Leiva decided to behave more carefully.
He cleared his throat and spoke lowly, “No need to know my name. Here is the short formula of the Sacred Sword Skill and the sword movement image, please verify them." He took it out of his sleeve and placed it on the table.
Cronous did not check the formula because he believed the Auction Center had done their job carefully before auctioning the item. He spread out the scrolls of Holy Sword Skills on the table, and they saw 12 images of sword movements in total. Each one depicts a drawing of a human practicing with a sword.
Ordinary people would not be able to identify any special marks within it. However, Unyuk Cronous, those 12 features looked lively as they trained with their swords. Each sword technique was extraordinary and they displayed a Comprehensive State of Profound Martial Arts, even a single move could have boundless benefits.
“This series of sword techniques is top grade. It's a worthwhile purchase?” Cronous exclaimed with joy.
"Good! This was indeed a sword science from the Spiritual Low Class. Furthermore, it had a sword movement chart drawn by its predecessor of Heaven Level!”
With a smile on his face, Cronous immediately put down the code and graphics of the Sacred Sword Skill.
"Looky! The foundation of the Cronous family will become stronger with Low-grade Spiritual sword techniques."
The Shop Manager walked up to Leiva and said, "Good, the Sacred Sword Skill sold for 1jt of silver coins at the auction, then deducted 10,000 silver coins for the auction fee, You will receive 900 thousand silver coins. Would you rather exchange it for a Spiritual Crystal or a Blood Pill? Or save it at Martial Market Bank?”
When ordinary people traded, they usually used copper, silver, or gold coins. However, when warriors traded with each other, they generally used Blood Pills or Spiritual Crystals.
Leiva said, "Save 700 thousand silver coins in the Martial Market Bank, and exchange 100 thousand silver coins for the Spiritual Crystal, then give the rest 100 thousand silver coins to me.”

An hour later, the Shop Manager gave Leiva a card made of yellow spinel and said, "Master, this is the VIP Card of the Martial Market Bank. 700 thousand silver coins have been stored in it.”
Then, the Shop Manager gave a package containing 20 Spiritual Crystals and 100 thousand silver coins to Leiva. Leiva picked up the package and walked out of the Central Auction without saying a word.
“The back of this person looks very familiar!” Ambrella stared at the dark shadow that walked away and had a familiar feeling in her heart.
Cronous said, “I felt that familiar feeling a little. Maybe I've seen him in the palace. This is not an ordinary man, maybe his real identity is a little scary.”
Ambrella asked curiously, "Why did you say it, dad?”
Cronous said seriously, “The ink from this Sacred Sword Skill is still wet, which means the graphics are drawn today. But anyone who could draw Holy Sword Skills should be saty a level higher than Heaven Level. ”
“That means this person has power above Heaven Level. In any case, we can't offend him.”
"Superior of Heaven's Level..." Ambrella was shocked, and he said, "It seems that even grandfather has not reached Heaven Level."
Cronous nodded, with some longing in his eyes. There were four realms in Martial Arts, Earth Level, Cloud Level, Sky Level, and Heaven Level.
Heaven Level refers to the world of the most powerful martial arts, filled with Martial Arts legends. A man of Heaven Level could face an army of 100,000 alone. They really are leaders.
When one surpassed Heaven Level, they no longer possessed Martial Arts, or even to mortal bodies. Their abilities were beyond the imagination of normal warriors.
Ambrella said, “There shouldn't be many Heaven Level leaders in the palace. Maybe if we try, we can find out who he is.”
Cronous's face became hard and he said, “Don't do such a stupid thing. Our family will pay a heavy price if we offend the leader of Heaven Level.”
With wisdom gleaming in her eyes, Ambrella said, "I have a question, dad! Since he was someone important in the palace, he would not be short of silver coins. But, why did he sell the Spiritual Stage sword technique at the auction?”
Cronous thought carefully for a while and said, “There are eight Royal Family Martial Arts, which are famous all, but Sacred Sword Skills are not one of them. We better not investigate. Our family cannot afford to offend a Heaven Level leader.”
“Ambrella, you have a Mythical Sign of the sword technique. So, you are the best candidate to practice these Sacred Sword Skills. You will definitely shine among the young nobles at the Year End Assessment if you can practice the first sword technique art successfully within three months.”

Leiva walked out of the Martial Market after leaving the Central Auction. He makes a detour at the Stardom Altar and finds a hidden place to take off his black robe and his gold-plated shoes. He put it into the Stone of Space and Time, then put on a pair of ordinary cloth shoes. He looked like an ordinary young warrior in this outfit.
"Now, no one will recognize that I am the mysterious man who just sold the Sacred Sword Skill at the auction.”
