Old Archmage Living As A Puppet Girl

Chapter Five

Not only those on the floor, even the ones in VIP wasn't as quiet as before. Excited calls was made to their respective higher up. Most of them were ordered to do whatever they can to get that puppet while some took a step back. Especially those in the military.

No matter which Legion it was, although it was a very, very tempting thing, they knew they couldn't hold it in their control because their empire heir would not let this puppet out even if someone bought it. They would only be taken away and be sealed somewhere far away in a hidden and dangerous place. The only reason why they were here was just to join in the fun but never would have thought they would hear such surprising news.

Meanwhile, in the VIP room where Darius ad the other two were, was in complete shambles.

"This, this-" even Lucas who could usually retort something, stuttered while pointing toward the stage in shock.

"This mad Puppeteer really took it to the extreme." Even the ever calm Liam couldn't help but took off his decoration glasses and wiped the glass with trembling hands a few times before putting it back on the bridge of his nose, restoring his calm.

Darius, who had been silent even now, although he didn't show it on the surface, him gritting his teeth showed his unrest and his inside was completely blown out with rage.

A puppet, once was completely made, it's level would not change no matter what was added, for a puppet is not alive. This is something that cannot be changed no matter what. Even a weapon would be upgradable with right material but a puppet will not for their existence itself is already a constant danger. Although they have no soul, they are like a robot that will follow it's owner's words. And half a millennia ago, puppeteers made new discovery that once they insert an artificial brain, it can act as a storage space filled with mana and can also store spells that it could use under their owner's orders.

Except for not having a soul, nor having an independent mind, they're almost no different from zorains.

Now, this puppet had completely overthrown what they knew and made a new mark in history. Perhaps, even Master Carson had not foreseen this situation and thus was the reason why he had to give up his treasure in this way. It was too dangerous to exist in this world. Especially dangerous if it falls int the wrong hands. Like what Carson had thought, if it was simply being given to the Empire, this puppet would not survive and will be destroyed once they found a way like they did to his 5S puppet in the past.

Although he understood since it had fallen into the enemy hand, it still couldn't wipe his regret.

The last time, a 5S puppet had already made trouble and now this out of the world puppet. If it got into the wrong hands... no Zoranian would want that to happen.

"The bid will start from 1 billion and and the bidding price must not be less than 10 million."

"Let the bidding, starts."

"38 billion stars..."

"65 billion stars..."

"79 billion stars..."

"84.10 billion stars..."

"This is crazy." Lucas muttered, watching the nonstop number counting up. "They're all crazy."

"Including us." Liam retorted as Darius, who sat on the seat next to him had just finished putting in the price.

"90 billion stars."

Lucas choked on his breath and looked at Darius with a 'you're crazy', 'you spendthrift', 'you crazy bastard' look.

Darius gave a lazy glance: "Give or take 3 years."
