“And our last item for this auction… I wonder if anyone will be able to get it this time!”
As soon as Vivian’s voice fell, a member of the chamber of commerce came onto the stage holding an item.
“It’s that thing again…”
“The cursed twin swords…”
“It seems that there have been three auctions, and no one has paid any attention to it…”
The mercenaries in the hall were whispering.
Vivian opened the red cloth and revealed a pair of short swords under it. At first glance, the pair of short swords were very plain and rusty.
“What is this?”
Aurora had never seen this kind of weapon before, so she turned on the identification system and curiously checked the item’s properties. After reading the item’s description, she suddenly stood up, a look of amazement on her face.

“Miss Vivian, this thing looks like a piece of junk, and basically no one is willing to take it. I heard an accident happened to the one who obtained these swords during the first auction, so I think it’s better for you not to take it out for auction again.” A nobleman’s voice came from upstairs.
In the first auction, there was indeed a nobleman who bid for this pair of spirit swords with a playful attitude, but he fell into a coma the moment he touched them after the transaction was successful.
In the end, the chamber of commerce hurriedly invited a priest to treat him, and he was finally out of danger. It took him a long time before he recovered, and when he talked about the pair of spirit swords later, the nobleman’s expression became extremely terrified.
Due to that accident, this pair of swords earned their reputation as cursed swords. As a result, in the next few auctions, when it came time to bid for this pair of spirit swords, the audience would basically fall into silence.
Vivian was also reluctant to auction the swords again because it had affected the auction’s reputation negatively, but it couldn’t be helped as it was something that had been trusted to her by her grandfather. Before he died, he simply left a will stating that she must continue to place them in the auction until the fateful owner of the swords came to pick them up.
So, to honor her grandfather’s will, she must use this method to increase its reputation, and maybe one day its owner will come back to pick it up after hearing about it.
“As per Nightingale’s Chamber of Commerce’s tradition, we don’t wish to bury this treasure in the dust. I wish for the understanding of all the distinguished guests present.” Vivian smiled apologetically and said, “Without further ado, the nameless twin sword will now be up for auction… The bid price is 1 gold coin.”
The audience fell silent again. Although the price of this pair of weapons was the lowest since the beginning, neither the mercenaries in the audience nor the nobles upstairs had any intention of bidding.
The audience started clamoring, saying that this pair of rusty swords wasn’t going to be auctioned again today.
“1 gold coin!”
The sudden sound of bidding directly attracted the attention of everyone in the audience. They looked at Aurora’s box on the second floor in unison, some with curiosity, some with doubts, and most of them watching with an attitude of waiting for a good show to unfold.
And after her bid, no one at the venue was willing to follow suit.
“C-Captainr! This pair of rusty swords is very bad! I heard that bad things happened before.”
Claudia, on the side, slowly put down the Glory Melody in her hand with a worried expression on her face.
“Don’t worry, It’s okay. It’s not wrong to say I come to this auction just for it!” Aurora said, smiling mysteriously.
“Eh?” Claudia was a little puzzled.
“Yes, you know Flamme’s origin, right?”
“I know, isn’t she the sword spirit in your gorgeous sword…” Claudia suddenly thought of something, and she stared at the pair of swords on the auction stage, gasping in shock. “Could it be…!”
“You’re right, so I must get it!” Aurora said firmly.
“Congratulations, Lady Aurora, for winning the nameless twin swords!”
Seeing that these pair of swords were successfully auctioned, Vivian couldn’t help but feel a little happy, but the next second she asked the members of the chamber of commerce around her to summon the priests in the chamber of commerce, in case the same situation happened to Aurora like the nobleman last time.
After paying a gold coin, Silvan Katti was successfully passed to the grid in Aurora’s room. Looking at these plain-looking swords, her heart couldn’t help beating faster with expectation.
Claudia swallowed her saliva and took a gander at the twin swords, but she still took a few steps back slightly due to the rumors around them. Flamme also set her eyes on the sword, and she could feel the magic fluctuations from her compatriots on the swords. Under their gazes, Aurora reached out and held the swords’ grips.
A bright light suddenly lit up! And then…
Nothing happened.
Aurora picked up the spirit sword and observed it carefully. Compared with the Flamberge Waltz, it looked much simpler. The one-edged swords were only 40 cm long, a little longer than regular daggers, with a slight curve on the tips. The sword’s rusty appearance, though, really made her loss for words.
If it weren’t for the system hinting to her that they were one of the nine Oath Swords of Final Judgement, it was really hard to believe that there was something special about this piece of junk.
Aurora was doubtful at first, but when she came in contact with the swords, she felt a strange sense of familiarity coming from them, as if they were bonded to her deep in her soul.
“Master, fill it with magic power.” Flamme gave her a suggestion from the side.
Aurora nodded and immediately sent her magic power into the sword. The moment the sword came in contact with her magic power, Aurora frowned slightly as she felt the sword greedily absorb more and more mana from her body.
What’s going on here?!
Aurora subconsciously wanted to let go of her grip, but Flamme, whose eyes were locked on the swords at the moment, suddenly stopped her. Aurora followed her gaze and suddenly witnessed an amazing scene unfold.
As her magic power was slowly absorbed, beautiful patterns lit up under the originally rusty sword body, and then the rust on the sword body fell off crazily, revealing the emerald green body hidden below. The blade’s base was adorned with vine-like ornament, and the guard was shaped like a pair of leaves.
“It’s so beautiful!” Claudia, who had been paying attention to the changes in the swords all the time, rubbed her eyes and exclaimed after confirming that she was not dreaming.
“What about this one?” Aurora grabbed the other one, and under the infusion of magic power, the other one gradually showed its original appearance—a light pink sword body like peach blossom jade with a guard in the shape of flower petals.
It’s just that compared to the green sword, this light pink sword seems to contain a trace of bloodlust and killing intent.

[Do you want to contract it?]
“Yes!”
Aurora confirmed this without hesitation. After all, these guys had absorbed so much of her magic power; how could she not contract with them?

The pair of spirit swords in Aurora’s hand dispersed into a green light and entered Aurora’s body. In the inventory space, the Silvan Katti had been sheathed in one of the Wheel of Final Judgement’s empty slots.
“Thank you, Miss Vivian. This auction has benefited me a lot.” Aurora thanked Vivian below.
After Aurora opened her mouth, the mercenaries, nobles, and Vivian all had a look of surprise in their eyes. Was she not affected by the cursed twin swords?!
“Could it be that Lady Aurora is its rightful owner?” Vivian thought to herself when she heard Aurora’s voice. “How interesting…” The rookie mercenary became more and more unfathomable in Vivian’s eyes, and she licked her lips unconsciously.
