I Became a Darkened Extra - Chapter 114
Episode 114 – Manwol Auction House.
114. Manwol Auction House.
On my way back after shouting out loud to Raoul.
“Hu…”
My heart was pounding and my temples were aching. Leon took a slow deep breath and calmed his mind and body.
Tingling-.
He went into an unseen cafe nearby to cool his head. He was thinking of hitting me up with a cold cup of coffee.
There were quite a few people inside, but it wasn’t noisy. This is District 2. Everyone spoke politely and quietly to maintain their dignity.
Attention is focused. Leon obsessively checked them and placed his order with a passing waiter.
After finishing my order and heading to an empty seat, a woman spoke to me in a haughty tone.
“Here, can you please clean this up?”
“······.”
The cat’s eyes, filled with purple pupils, looked up at him with wide eyes.
After a moment, Leon was in a bad mood, so I thought he would just accept it, but…
– This is a child who buries it deep rather than shakes it off.
As Aqua’s voice rang in the corner of her head, she changed her mind.
Well. It was hard to imagine her screaming in pain.
It bothered me for some reason to think that even if there was a wound inside, it must have been hidden deeply.
Isn’t this saying that even if you are truly upset or disappointed, you never show it on the outside?
Even though she thought she was cool, Celia also has a delicate side. She only takes a joke. She said she was in a bad mood and she just quietly ignored it, but she didn’t want to hurt her.
Leon said with a grin.
“Yes, lady. “Do you need anything else?”
“Please bring me more napkins.”
“I don’t like it. “I’m thirsty too, so I’ll just have a cup of tea.”
Leon, who naturally sat down next to Celia, brought the teapot and poured it into a cup. I took a single shot of hot tea.
In addition to Celia, there were three or four other women of similar age at the table. These were probably her noble daughters whom she knew.
“Wow. How do you eat something warm in the middle of summer? Do you have any iced tea, iced tea?”
“·······???”
Her daughters raised countless question marks over her head as the guard calmly joined them.
Leon’s attire did not look like a nobleman at all, and anyone could see that he looked like a bodyguard or servant.
The reason she didn’t scold her and ask what she was doing was because of Celia’s attitude.
Celia, who was laughing at the reactions of those around her, said to Leon.
“Let me introduce you. This is Leah from the Winrys family, Violet from the Chin family, Ellis from the Tarantria family, and Olivia from the Mensus family. These are some of my best friends in the West. “I came up to Jedo to attend the banquet this time.”
“Oh my, these are precious people here. “Nice to meet you.”
Leon’s proud spirit. There was silence filled with bewilderment and bewilderment.
The ladies looked at each other and rolled their eyes. I was thinking deeply about what this bastard really is.
“Celia, who is…?”
“Ah, I’m a new escort. “Handsome, right?”
Celia smiled and patted Leon on the shoulder.
‘Is this kind of fun for him?’
I did get along with him for now. Leon looked at Celia with her pathetic eyes.
Now it’s time to put an end to the prank.
“Ah…?!”
The girl called Alice suddenly let out an exclamation. She had been looking at Leon’s appearance closely since earlier.
“You are Prince Leon Crusiv, right?”
“What?”
The ladies looked back at Leon in surprise.
Leon nodded his head with slight admiration.
“That’s right. “You’re quick-witted.”
“······!”
Leon’s ears tingled from the commotion that followed.
The ladies’ reaction was explosive, as if they had met a famous person. Everyone seemed to know the name Leon Crusip.
Rumors in the social world spread quickly, and Leon’s name was slowly spreading.
Lea, who was chattering that it was an honor to meet her, suddenly remembered something she had heard somewhere before and blurted out.
“That’s a pleasure…!”
“······.”
Leon’s face was horribly distorted.

The next day, as dusk began to set.
Leon headed to District 5 with Aria.
“These skewers were delicious.”
Aria took a bite of her chicken skewer and nodded her head.
“It’s delicious.”
“Really?”
The two came to the Lemel Canal, where the water was flowing steadily, chewing on skewers.
“Okmigyo (玉眉橋). “It’s over there.”
“Okay.”
Near a stylish bridge with sparkling jade colors. Leon paid a merchant to rent a ship. He was a merchant who rented small boats for boating.
“The operating time is within 1 hour. It is very dark after sunset before the lights are turned on, so please be careful.”
“Yes.”
After answering, Leon got on the boat. Aria also sat down, looking a little excited.
“I wanted to try this.”
This refers to boating.
“Really?”
“Yes. “With the owner.”
Leon chuckled and grabbed the oar.
“I will do it.”
“That’s enough. That picture is so bad. I’ll do it.”
aaah-
The oars were rowed vigorously. The boat carrying Leon and Aria sailed leisurely on the water.
“Hmm.”
Feeling very bored, Leon infused her mana. A faint anger appeared above the oar, and the speed increased like crazy.
Chaaa!
Incredible sense of speed. The boat became as fast as a motorboat and quickly cut through the water. The wooden planks creaked, leaving long white ripples behind.
Aria let out a small laugh.
After wandering across the water for a while, Leon went under Okmi Bridge. It was the time when the sun had completely set and it was completely dark.

Soon, a dark brown ferry boat approached.
“No, what should I do if you attract attention like that?”
Guris branch leader, Tull, spoke quietly.
Leon shrugged his shoulders indifferently.
“Don’t worry, the concealment and soundproofing magic has already been applied.”
“Oh, I see.”
Thul was impressed and caught a glimpse of Aria. She took one look and her eyes got so big that she looked again.
“······As I heard, you are very beautiful.”
“That’s definitely true.”
Leon nodded his head and spoke.
“What are the tickets?”
“Yes, it is here.”
Tul handed Leon two tickets with various magical treatments. Leon looked it back and forth, and then he grinned.
“Good job. “Very capable, our tool branch leader.”
“It is an honor.”
“I put in more than last time.”
Leon gave Tull a thick bag of gold coins. The corners of Tool’s mouth were torn as he felt the weight.
“Have you found the guy who created my tinnitus?”
Tul’s face hardened.
“······Well, I’m sorry.”
“······.”
When Leon’s expression got worse, Tool added hastily.
“Well, I tried my best, but it seems like the words that came out while the informants were chatting among themselves somehow became solid…”
“No, tinnitus is like that… Ugh, I get it. “Let’s get rid of it.”
“······I’m sorry.”
Leon nodded his head disapprovingly.
Toul felt at a loss. He thought to himself.
‘I guess I should come up with another nickname and spread it around.’
I don’t want to disappoint a big customer named Leon Crusip. He is also an excellent customer who gives me a lot of money.
Leon said.
“And keep an eye on Raoul Crusif and investigate. “If you have any information, give it to me now.”
“Ah, yep.”
“Isn’t there an informant in your castle as well?”
“Of course. “It’s very tight.”
Looking at Tull’s expression, it seemed like he even knew about his encounter with Raoul yesterday morning. As expected, the level of Grease’s information network was not bad.
A little later, Leon, who had received the papers from Tull, escaped from under his feet.
When the bridge blocking the sky disappeared.
Chaaa-
The night sky spread wide with the waterway in the background. Around them, lights turned on by citizens facing the night came up one by one.
Leon, who was moving the oar, suddenly pointed to a corner of the night sky.
“Aria.”
“Yes?”
“The moon has risen.”
A round moon full of flesh. Hwiyeongcheong scatters bright yellow light. There was a faint halo of moon around it.
It was a full moon.
* · * *
The Full Moon Auction House is held every time the full moon rises.
Of course, this is not an ordinary auction house.
A place where only rare, unique, and valuable items are handled. It is an entertainment facility and secret auction house only for the upper class, which most nobles do not even know exists.
It is difficult to obtain admission tickets to this Manwol Auction House. It’s not about price, but because it requires sophisticated routes and connections. You must also have a verified identity.
The tool that saved two such tickets could be seen as very competent. It wasn’t a waste of the gold coins I threw away.
Jingle-
Leon and Aria entered a lodging establishment in District 4. They had their arms folded affectionately like ordinary romantic guests.
Leon walked up to the counter without saying anything and presented two tickets to the waiter.
“You can go to the second floor.”
The employee looked around briefly and made an announcement in a low voice.
When I came up to the second floor, a man in a neat suit approached me without any sign.
“Welcome to our auction house. “I will take you there.”
* · * *
Same time.
A pub in District 4.
“Welcome to our auction house. “I will take you there.”
“Hmm. “Sure.”
Hera began following the man in a suit.
Suddenly, she burst out laughing as if she was having fun.
“hahahaha. Our cute little brother. “You didn’t know I would follow you here, did you?”
Hera put her arm around Riel, who was next to her.
“Riel, my heart is pounding. “This is my first time at Manwol Auction House.”
“Me too.”
“If there’s something we like, let’s go for it. “You wanted a lot of money this time.”
“Yes.”
