Chapter One Hundred and Eighty-Two
As the auction continued, a ripple of excitement moved through the crowd when the auctioneer unveiled the next item.
"Next on the block—an extremely rare S-Rank Male Dwarven Hero Book," the auctioneer announced, holding up the glowing artifact encased in enchanted glass. "Forged in the ancient halls of the Mountain Kings, this book contains the soul of Grumdir Ironheart, a legendary frontline tank and siege master."
Gasps echoed through the crowd. Hero books were rare—but one of dwarven lineage, especially male, was practically unheard of.
Crow's eyes narrowed. Grumdir... in my past life, he was sold for a fortune and later led the siege of the Black Iron Keep.
Without hesitation, Crow lifted his hand slightly—his bid interface glowing. He bid high enough to silence the room instantly.
"Going once… going twice… SOLD to bidder #73!"
The book was teleported directly to his storage.
Crow silently left the hall, his mind already working.
Another piece added to the board.
