Legend of Wyatt
Chapter 245 Blackwind City

Chapter 245: Chapter 245 Blackwind City

"About half a year."

Fill Bear contemplated for a while before replying to Wyatt Barnes.

Wyatt nodded, he had been mentally prepared.

Not to mention leaving the Crimson Heaven’s Royal City, reaching the border areas of the Royal Country of Green Forest, had to cross an entire county, which would take about three months...

Even the distance from the border of Green Forest Royal Country to the ’Seven Stars Sword Clan’ was considerable.

They had to make haste on their journey on their precious horses; otherwise, even a year may not be enough to reach the ’Seven Stars Sword Clan’.

With the protection of Fill Bear, who had understood the ’micro sword move’ of the Peep Naught Realm’s Second Layer, Wyatt and his party of three had no trouble going from Crimson Heaven Kingdom towards the Royal Country of Green Forest.

Occasional attacks from horse thieves were also easily wiped out by Fill Bear.

As Wyatt had expected, they arrived at a city situated between the Crimson Heaven Kingdom and Green Forest Royal Country after three months.

Although this city was not a county in the Crimson Heaven Kingdom, its area was as large as a county city.

"Fill Bear, have you been to this city?"

Wyatt inquired.

Fill Bear shook his head.

"Let’s go in."

Wyatt raised his eyebrow and led the two veiled girls directly into the city.

The border city was bustling, and one could see many caravans coming and going...

Wyatt speculated that these caravans were most likely travelling between the Crimson Heaven Kingdom and Green Forest Royal Country.

After entering the city, there was no shortage of people riding precious horses like their own, so Wyatt and his party didn’t attract much attention.

Under Wyatt’s guidance, they found an inn to have a meal.

Before ordering food, Wyatt gave the waiter a generous tip and curiously asked, "Can you introduce me to your city?"

Seeing Wyatt’s generosity, the waiter was more than willing to share everything he knew, and so he began with a smile, "Guest, is this your first time visiting our ’Blackwind City’?"

"Blackwind City?"

Wyatt raised his eyebrows and continued to listen to the waiter.

"Guest, our Blackwind City is a border business city under the Green Forest Royal Country, located in the northeast border of the Crimson Heaven Kingdom... Usually, caravans traveling between Green Forest Royal Country and Crimson Heaven Kingdom will stop at our Blackwind City."

The waiter said so calmly.

Wyatt nodded; he had noticed this on the road just now.

The waiter continued, "Guest, during your first visit to Blackwind City, you must remember... never offend anyone with the last names ’Huang’, ’Zhong’, and ’Ma’."

Having said this, the waiter’s expression became rather serious.

"What’s special about these three surnames?"

Wyatt asked curiously.

The waiter shook his head, "There’s nothing special. These three surnames are exactly the ’surnames’ of our Blackwind City’s three major families... guest, I guess you came from Crimson Heaven Kingdom?"

"How did you know?"

Wyatt was somewhat surprised.

The waiter laughed, "Because most people from Green Forest Royal Country to Crimson Heaven Kingdom are with the caravan. There are rarely any ’individual customers’. So, I guessed that you are from Crimson Heaven Kingdom... Are you planning to go to the Green Forest Royal Country?"

"Yes."

Wyatt nodded.

"Guest, remember my words... the three major families of Blackwind City, although they are nowhere in the Green Forest Royal Country, they are much stronger than many of your Crimson Heaven Kingdom’s families. In fact, they only fall a bit short of the three top families in your Crimson Heaven’s Royal City!"

The waiter once again reminded him.

"I understand."

Wyatt nodded, his lip curling into a slight smile.

He naturally knew that the three top families in Crimson Heaven Kingdom that the waiter spoke of were the ’Barnes Family’, ’Sinclair Clan’, and ’Simmons Clan’.

Not to mention being inferior to these three big families.

With Fill Bear being there, even if it was these three big families, Wyatt was not afraid.

"Guests, what would you like to eat?"

The waiter asked respectfully again.

"Just order whatever you think is good, we have no dietary restrictions."

Wyatt replied to the waiter.

The waiter then bowed and exited.

"We’re about to eat, take off your veils."

Wyatt glanced at the two girls beside him and smiled.

The two girls blinked their autumn eyes obediently and took off their veils...

At that moment, there was the sound of glasses being dropped within the inn.

These were from the male customers who were completely stunned looking at Jovie Lee and Keer, they didn’t even realize that they had dropped their glass.

Soon, the food arrived.

"Fill Bear, you sit down and eat too."

Wyatt called out to Fill Bear, who obeyed and sat down.

The four of them had been hungry for the whole day and ravenously devoured a whole table of dishes. By this time, it had gradually darkened outside, but the inn was still brightly lit.

"I heard that there will be a slave auction at the ’Marston Auction House’ tonight."

"I heard about it too. It’s not just slaves, I heard that the ’Marston Auction House’ has got a lot of good things this time."

"Let’s hurry up and finish eating, we can go and see."

...

At this moment, Wyatt Barnes overheard the discussion of a few middle-aged men at a table not far away.

The Marston Family’s auction house?

An auction?

This immediately piqued Wyatt’s interest.

Blackwind City is a border city located between the Royal Country and the Crimson Heaven Kingdom, with many merchant caravans passing by. Surely, many merchants would be selling their valuable items here.

Perhaps some of the items at the auction might catch his interest.

After having a satisfying meal, Wyatt called over the young fellow who previously served him.

"Sir, may I help you with something?"

The attendant respectfully asked Wyatt.

"I would like to know, what should I do if I want to participate in the auction held by the Marston Family’s auction house?"

Wyatt hit the nail on the head and promptly placed a silver ingot on the table.

The waiter’s eyes lit up as he pocketed the silver ingot and hurriedly responded, "Sir, we have three main auction houses in Blackwind City, each managed by a great family. Each auction house holds an auction every three months. The two months’ gap is reserved for the other two auction houses. In other words, there is an auction every month in Blackwind City."

"Tonight, it’s the auction day for the Marston Family auction house. You’ve come at an opportune time."

"Exit our tavern, make a left, proceed to the end of the main road, then make a right. You will then see the Marston Family’s auction house..."

"Admission fees for the Marston Family’s auction house have two categories. First, spend 1000 USD for bidding right with a seat in the main hall. Second, spend 100,000 USD for the right to bid along with a private box with the top-notch services from the Marston Family."

The boy couldn’t help but smack his lips as he said this.

For him, perhaps even spending his entire life might not afford him to enter an auction in Blackwind City.

USD just for a regular seat?

Wyatt was taken aback by this information, surprised.

The price for a private box itself is a colossal 100,000 USD.

Life outside the Crimson Heaven Kingdom; does the USD devalue so drastically?

Wyatt nodded, then led his veiled son and daughter out of the tavern.

Fill Bear, leading four beautiful horses in tow, followed them.

The Wyatt group went to the Marston Family auction house directly.

When they arrived, the auction house was beginning to admit people. However, the number of people who had entered was few, indicating that there was still time before the auction commenced.

A row of boys stood at the grand entrance of the auction house, very much like doormen.

As soon as Wyatt’s group arrived at the entrance, a boy promptly came over to take the reins of the four horses from Fill Bear.

Another boy approached and respectfully asked, "Sir, do you need seats in the hall or a private box?"

"A private box."

Wyatt replied to the boy.

"Please follow me, sir."

On hearing Wyatt, the boy’s attitude became even more humble. He led Wyatt’s group into the auction house and took them to a private box on the second floor.

The clean and neat box was a comfortable sight to the eyes.

The spacious box had plenty of room to accommodate Wyatt and his group.

From inside the box, Wyatt could clearly see the auction stage below through the windows, which was very convenient.

Once the boy got in, he poured hot tea for Wyatt and his children and prepared some snacks.

He then respectfully stood at the side.

After a while, there was a knock at the door. The boy stepped out and opened the door, respectfully greeting the visitor, "Sir."

A middle-aged man with a full beard slowly walked in, looking at Wyatt, "Greetings, sir. I am Colten Marston, the manager of the Marston Family’s auction house."

The arrival of the auction house manager made Wyatt guess the purpose of his visit.

He raised his hand, and a bank check of 100,000 USD appeared out of thin air, and he passed it to Colten.

Colten accepted the bank check, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

The first thought that crossed his mind was, this seemingly less than twenty-year-old youth was not simple!

Even at such a young age, he has a ’Storage Ring’, evidently came from an extraordinary background.

"Thank you, sir."

After accepting the bank check, Colten gave a deeper glance at Fill Bear, standing behind Wyatt before leaving the room.

"Sirs and madams, if you need anything, please let me know. I will be right outside the door."

The boy respectfully informed Wyatt’s group, then exited the room and closed the door behind him.

At this point, Keer and Jovie got rid of their veils.

"We have to spend 100,000 USD just to be here for a few hours in this shoddy place?"

Jovie shook her head, finding it hard to accept this fact.

Although Keer didn’t say anything, her face was equally filled with astonishment.

Wyatt simply smiled. He could understand this sentiment.

After all, this place is not comparable to the cities in the Crimson Heaven Kingdom.

To a certain extent, this place is considered a city in the Royal Country. Moreover, as Blackwind City is a necessary stop for merchant caravans, the consumption level here may be even higher than that of the cities in the Royal Country.

He realized this when he paid the bill at the tavern.

"It still hasn’t started."

Half an hour later, Jovie frowned slightly, showing a sign of impatience.
