Sky Fall Legend 112 You Know...Little Morph? 1

Jodye Trill grimaced at hearing his name, finally turning around to face the newcomers, "How did you realize it was me?"

"Well, I haven't actually come in contact with anyone other than you during this entire visit," giggled Bilan indifferently, "Who else could it be but you, young n.o.ble?"

Jodye Trill scratched his nose and avoided the glare from Neofrost, that seemed to be saying 'Why do you even have my mask if you are so predictable and easy to identify?' The bottom half of Jodye's ice crystal mask melted away like magic and revealed the lower half of his face. Jodye looked at Bilan and smiled radiantly, making Bilan feel like a bright sun with crystal blue eyes was in her face, "Well, it is me indeed. These are my teacher and my big bro, they're here with me today."

After speaking Jodye's mask sealed itself completely once more, taking on the appearance of an ice demon, just like Master Neofrost.

"A pleasure," Sigma performed a slight bow to Bilan and her martial-aunt Master Grey Willow, who both smiled and curtsied in response to his deep and raspy voice. Joovee Nile simply never even looked in their direction, and Aunt Miran was still bidding for the phantom sabers.

In Jodye's heart, he was secretly happy. He didn't care for this woman Aunt Miran very much at all. Hopefully, she would help him profit a bit from these combat gears he was auctioning.

"These guys keeping adding twenty thousand silver crystal notes at once. They're so stingy, but I'll play along," mumbled Aunt Bilan to herself, her voice filled with contempt.

Combat gear is not only sought out by mercenaries, even some n.o.ble families and sects wanted to contend for them. Very swiftly the price shot up to eight million silver crystal notes, that was the same as selling the sabers at four million silver each. To Jodye this was insanely profitable, as he had stolen these weapons in the first place. He didn't pay for them at all. In fact, from a certain point of view, he had even been paid for them later on.

The price was still rising!

"9.8 million silver crystal notes!" The patriarch of the Shadowblaze family from Winter Winds City called out his bid. If he were able to purchase these weapons, then his grandson would have an advantage at his academy selection next month, so this price was totally worth it.

The bids continued until Aunt Miran stood up once more and called out imperiously as if she had already made her life's most significant concession, "15 thousand gold crystal notes!"

After a deathly silence swept the crowd for a full minute, Vanessa Purple-Sky shouted, "15 million silver going once… going twice…!"

"15.5 million!"

"16 million!"

"Looks like you'll have to give up on that combat gear for this round, old miss Miran. The price is just too steep, too steep," commented Jodye Trill indifferently. When Miran Moon heard the phrase 'old miss' she almost lost it, but the brat dared to continue, "Better to save your money for some later options. Maybe something cheaper will appear."

Aunt Miran's face was scrunched up and angry when she heard him. This tactless brat may as well have been calling her a broken hoe. She stomped her foot but still did not admit defeat, holding up her sign once more, "20 Thousand Gold!"

Bilan Moon sighed in exasperation. It seemed these two were fated to not get along.

20 thousand gold!

That was 20 million silver crystal notes!

Jodye Trill and smiled mischievously behind his neofrost mask. He fought to resist the impulse to snicker, his eyes utterly stoic. In fact, inwardly he was thinking, "Not bad, wait until she buys these sabers. After they reach her hands, I will inform her that they were sold by me, mwahaha… by then she'll definitely wear a helpless look, pfft."

Sigma and Neofrost exchanged a glance, seeing nothing but amus.e.m.e.nt and admiration in the eyes of each other before turning away again. They truly admired this brat, who could goad someone into paying him more for his own item so effortlessly. When they imagined the look on this woman's face once everything was set in stone, they became curious to see the play.

Hearing this exorbitant amount, Vanessa Purple-Sky shouted, "20 million silver going once… going twice… sold, to the lady in private box number 7!"

When Bilan Moon heard the host, she quickly congratulated her aunt, "Aunt Miran, congratulations! I'm sure little Morph will love these sabers once we rescue him from that whatever Chimes Villa."

Both Jodye Trill and Sigma Octanis had sharp lights flash through their eyes once these words were said. Noticing the slight s.h.i.+ft in their psychic fluctuations, Master Grey Willow lifted a brow in speculation. Sigma had learned all about his disciple's past from his Aiken's own mouth. Sigma Octanis now inwardly cursed himself for not getting the name of the boy's eight siblings. Meanwhile, Jodye was the one originally responsible for the destruction of the Chimes Estate, so there was no way he would miss the significance of this place.

"Yes, my little nephew will surely benefit from these phantom sabers. While weapons of the D-grade may not be so powerful, it is more than enough for him until he breaks through the Earth Science realm, like his doll big sister," smiled Aunt Miran, before turning to the masked boy next to her by the private box's window, "Hmph. Never doubt the members of House Moon, little boy, we always get what we set out for. Money is of no issue…"

Right at this moment, two servant girls walked into the private box, the first walking directly to Aunt Miran, "Madame, here is your purchase. Would you like to pay in gold, amethyst, or through trade?"

Aunt Miran sneered disdainfully at Jodye, before settling her debt and concluding her purchase. Meanwhile, the other young servant girl walked directly to the Neofrost Master, Joovee Nile, and asked: "Sir, are you young master Jupiter?"

"No, I am a big Master Neofrost. The young Master Jupiter you are looking for is over there," replied Joovee Nile, catching the five ladies present by surprise. The young man by the window was the patron?

Nonetheless, the servant girl walked over and presented a small jade treasure box to Jodye, "Young master Jupiter, this is your 20 million silver crystal notes, minus 8%. Here are 18,400,000 silver crystal notes converted into 18 amethyst crystal notes and 400 gold crystal notes for your convenience. Thank you for your cooperation."

Jodye Trill took the jade treasure box and marveled at the design. There was a golden eagle with purple feathers on the lid, it looked very majestic. Afterward, the two servants left and returned with tea, which they served to everyone.

During this time Jodye noticed that even with his divine tier spiritual power he couldn't peer into this box's secrets, it was indeed a good item! Not a leak of aura or wisp of energy could be detected. Jodye opened the box and was greeted with the violet-golden glow of 18 amethyst crystal notes, bringing his total wealth to 40,018 amethyst crystal notes.

What a windfall!

After all, Jodye had taken these sabers from the chumps that tried to a.s.sa.s.sinate him some months back when he met Aiken. Funny that those same sabers were purchased by a woman he was 90% certain was the boy's own kin. Perhaps this was called everything coming full circle? The laws of fate were truly mysterious.

While her jaw was hanging wide open, Aunt Miran's body trembled from a mix of unknown emotions. However, Jodye totally ignored this in spite of being amused. After all, the disdain she had shown him had caused his rage to seethe slightly in his pores. Jodye was placing genuine effort in calming himself.

He turned to Bilan Moon and asked gently, "Miss Moon, would you happen to originate from Rodinia?"

Bilan Moon was caught off guard but smiled sweetly in response. Her martial-aunt had forbidden her from revealing this, but her smile was answer enough. Jodye admired her doll-like face for a moment before continuing, "Does the name Aiken Moon mean anything to you?"

Crack!

Three teacups fell to the ground at once, causing shards and tea to spill all over the floor. The serving girls rushed to clean up the mess before excusing themselves once they noticed the tension in the room. Bilan Moon was shaking in excitement, profoundly agitated as she immediate grabbed Jodye's arm, ignoring the boldness of her actions.

"You… did you just say… a moment." Bilan Moon placed her hand over her own chest a muttered a small incantation. A pale blue glow surrounded her hand, and she quickly calmed down. "Do you know… little morph?"
