Necromancer Of The Shadows - Chapter 1025

Chapter 1025: Anderson Bloodworth
Inside The Star City, within the Main Auction House of the Bloodmoon Auction House…

A 210 cm tall man, wearing a red suit with a royal purple outline was walking with a cold look on his face. The man had short black hair, red eyes, and pale white skin as if he had no blood in his body and was suffering from anaemia.

In front of him, a woman was walking, leading him deep inside the Bloodmoon Auction House. Although the woman’s face was calm, her hands were trembling from time to time, indicating she was not as composed as she appeared.

After a minute, the woman brought the man in front of a room and opened its door for him while bowing respectfully.

The man didn’t even glance at her and entered the room with the same cold expression on his face. Once he entered, the woman closed the door and sighed in relief while wiping the invisible sweat from her forehead.

‘Damn, so that’s the kind of pressure that Rank Six Core Evolvers naturally release…’ The woman thought and silently left.

Inside the room, when the door opened and the man entered, Leopold, who was already inside stood up and bowed respectfully.

“Thanks for coming, Duke Anderson,” He said in a calm voice.

Anderson Bloodworth, one of the Dukes of the Bloodmoon Empire nodded his head at Leopold and sat down on the couch opposite him.

Once Anderson sat down, Leopold walked towards him and poured a blood-red liquid into a wine glass for him. After pouring the liquid, he went back and sat down on the couch opposite Anderson.

For the first few seconds, neither of them spoke anything. After about ten seconds, Anderson lifted the glass of red liquid from the table in front of him and asked after taking a sip,

“So, did you get the thing I asked you?” (In chap— 887 I briefly mentioned the meeting between Leopold and Anderson)

His voice was cold and indifferent as if he didn’t care too much about the question, but the shaking of the red liquid within the glass he was holding said otherwise.

“I have, Duke, but there is a small problem,” Leopold nodded his head upon hearing Anderson.

Anderson showed a delighted expression when he heard the first half of the sentence, but a frown appeared on his cold face when he heard the second half.

“What kind of problem?”

“It’s not a big deal…” Leopold said with a shake of his head when he saw the frown on Anderson’s face. “It’s just that we will have to go to the Magmara Kingdom to get that thing.”

“Magmara Kingdom?” Anderson raised an eyebrow when he heard Leopold.

“Yes, our branch of Bloodmoon Auction in the Magmara Kingdom received around half a litre of Life Water from someone for auction just a few days ago. If you want to get the Life Water, you will have to go to the Magmara Kingdom and participate in the auction.”

Anderson frowned when he heard Leopold and tapped his finger on the side of the sofa. After a minute, he asked in a calm voice.

“Have you verified the authenticity of the Life Water?”

“You don’t have to worry about it being fake. We have already verified it, and it is indeed real Life Water.”

“Hmmm…” Anderson made a thoughtful expression and asked after a moment, “Do you think I can directly buy the Life Water? I can pay its owner more than he could earn from auctioning it.”

Leopold smiled apologetically when he heard Anderson and shook his head.

“Forgive me, Duke, but we can’t do that. The person who provided the Life Water for auction has actually spread the news about it among all the factions. If we suddenly cancel the auction of the Life Water, it will severely affect us.”

It was actually a complete lie. The news about the Life Water was spread by the people of the Bloodmoon Auction House since it was one of the commands that he received from Anastasia.

Anderson’s expression changed when he heard the news that the Life Water had already spread among other factions, and he asked in a serious voice.

“What’s the current situation in Magmara Kingdom?”

Leopold smiled warily when he heard Anderson and replied in a low voice.

“From the manager of the auction house in the Magmara Kingdom, I heard new people from other factions are arriving there every day, and most of them are there for the Life Water.”

“Are there any strong competitors out there?” Anderson asked as the frown on his face deepened.

Leopold nodded his head when he heard Anderson and said in a serious voice.

“There are indeed many powerful people who are coming for the Life Water, but if I have to say the strongest person who might compete for the Life Water against you, then I would say it should be Halphas.” (Halphas— the mid-level Rank Six Demon)

“Halphas?” Anderson’s eyes narrowed when he heard Leopold. “He wants the Life Water because of Raum (The beginner-level rank six demon who got injured by the Light Dragon), right?”

“Yes,” Leopold nodded when he heard Anderson.

“The current Gehenna Empire is very unstable because of their situation with the Dragon Islands and Baphomet’s disappearance. Raum is one of their strongest demons, so it is natural that they will try to get the Life Water at all costs so that they can heal him and stabilize the condition of their empire a bit.”

A cold light flashed in Anderson’s eyes when he heard Leopold. When Leopold told him about the auction earlier, he had thought about sending one of his subordinates to get the Life Water, but after hearing that Halphas would also be there, he changed his mind because he was afraid that even if his subordinate successfully bought the Life Water, there might be a chance that Halphas would use force to get his hands on it.

‘I can’t lose this chance since there are not many items that contain bountiful life force like Life Water…’ Anderson thought as the image of his dead son appeared in his mind.

“When is the auction?” He asked Leopold in a cold voice.

Hearing Anderson, a hidden smile appeared on Leopold’s face.

“Ten days… The Life Water will be auctioned off after ten days.”
