Doulou Gods

Chapter Seven: The Auction

What is going on, guys. We are back with another chapter coming at you. I don't really have anything to say, besides I hope you all are enjoying this book. It has been fun for me, hopefully it's as fun for you guys. And let's jump in to the auction! Shrek's Seven Monsters team's names, Xiao Len, Lao Veln, Bogly, Viu Sheish, Liu Vin Diaz, Eddra, and Long Hen Wiad

We have finally reached the auction house, two days after departing from the tombs. The auction house was huge, bigger than any I have ever seen.

"Welcome to the Red Dynastic Auction House! What can we do for you today?" A woman calls from the top of the stairway leading to the front door.

"We are from Shrek, and we wish to participate in the auction." Ms. Shargen announced. The woman smiled, and waved us to follow her. She led us upstairs, and down the first hallway on the left side of the room. The hallway was long, but there was nothing but pictures and paintings along the walls, with a wood carved door at the end, with a sign hanging from the top, that read, Shrek's Seven Monsters V.I.P seating. Wow, we had our own V.I.P seating? The school must come here often.

"Sorry Ms. Shargen, just have to follow initial protocal. I hear there are some very interesting items here, especially for young, growing spiritualists." The woman explained, showing us our seats.

"It's fine, Lily, we all have rules to follow." Ms. Shargen responded. I was right, Shrek comes here often.

After Lily showed us how to place a bet, she bowed to us, and left.

"That Lily is pretty nice, isn't she?" Wans asked, obviously just saying it to be nice and possibly be trying to create a happy mood.

"Yeah, I think so too." Eldest brother chimed, laying his arm on my head.

We took our seats, Wiad, Diaz, and Eddra in the back row, Bogly, Viu Sheish, and Eldest Bother in the next row down, Wans, Ran Las, and I in the middle row. Ms. Shargen and Veln in the second row, right in front of us.

"Alright folks, let's start the bidding!" Another woman calls on the microphone. I didn't pay attention any longer than that, though. I entered my consciousness into the storage ring, and started to search around for something to mess with for a while. I had told Wans to look out for anything that might interest me, so I wouldn't miss anything too big. I found the box of scrolls that I had thrown in here back in the tomb, and I started looking through it for something interesting. I found many scrolls on different elixirs, recipes, useful plants, and not much else. Not much use to me. I found the bottom of the wooden box, but it seemed a little too high to be the bottom, so I searched for an edge I could pull up on, or a button that would release it, but found nothing. I looked through the scrolls again, and found one that I hadn't looked at before. It was empty, except for a single sentence. Open, oh wooden box. I couldn't make sense of it. Am I supposed to say it aloud? What, what is this for? I guess I only have that option left.

"Open, oh wooden box." I said, and the bottom of the box popped up. Underneath the lid, we're a couple more scrolls. They were arts. One was the Purple Cloud Wings, another was Earth Kings Fist, another was Sky Dragons Shattering Slam, and so on and so forth. The one that caught most of my attention was the Demonic Destruction Palm. I read more about it, but it didn't say much. All it contained was how to learn it, use it, and that it was the final form of the Shattering Palm art. The Demonic Destruction Palm set the opponent aflame, and sent them flying backwards. Capable of up to five rings, or levels, of power, this art was a must need for flame element users. Pretty cool, I guess. Probably on the same level as Octadic Smash. I look through the rest, and none appealed to me, except for the Purple Cloud Wings, obviously. I started to look through the other scrolls I had left lying around from the tomb, and I left my consciousness.
