TDG Fanfic: The Golden Throne - Chapter 48
Danny didn’t immediately meet with everyone. Instead he went to the Commoner’s Union and got reports from all department heads as well as the 10 now legend rank soldiers He got from the Snow Wind Family. He then began to give some orders.
First, he had sent invitations to the auction house sent to all the families from the neutral and Snow Wind forces. Then he ordered for 100 full set armor and weapons to be made and sent to the auction to sell. They were all perfect Black Gold Rank equipment. The next thing he did was go to Ye Zhong and gave him several gravity and restraint seals.
Ye Zhong was impressed by the broad field runes can be used in. These seals will further help in training their shadow division and the night scouts. After catching up a bit and Danny mentioned he built a stronghold to Ye Zhong and when he has time he can go to train their.
Danny then went to the Path Of Legends and saw it doing well. He noticed the lightning bamboo was already 3 times his height and contained a high concentration of lightning energy. Danny wanted to upgrade the formation and make it balanced with the realm. Currently it is self sufficient and takes energy from the world but it doesn’t give back energy to the world thus making it imperfect in a way.
Although cultivators use the world energy to evolve into stronger beings, in the end the byproduct of cultivation which is useless to cultivators is released into the atmosphere and earth. This is why although people say it is going against the will of heaven, cultivators are still flowing with the world in a cycle. For everything we take something else is given.
This theory was already verified to be the case as the world almost never lost energy even with many strong cultivators present.
Danny began to upgrade the formation and use several space runes in a specific pattern to expand the space with inside without breaking the Orchid pavilion. It’s like a space ring but on a bigger scale. He then placed 5 beast souls, one in each region depending on its elemental attributes. Then he took out another high grade spirit stone and used it in its entirety to thicken the soul force in the surroundings. He also noticed that in the fire region a small stem protruding from the edge of the flame crystal volcano.
He laughed as he new this place will certainly turn into a blessed land. This entire process took him around a month and a half. He wanted to visit his little sister but too bad she was training.
The little guy who Danny name Abyss while ignoring Ay’s “blacky” suggestion was enjoying himself. Although he was still small after consuming a lot of ice cores and meat it strength increases massively. It also played around in the snow region Danny added to the water elemental area.
Once Danny was done he went back to the Three Soul manor to rest and cultivate till the day of the auction. He noticed many new recruits that were being trained by the 10 legend rank guards he had.
The leader of the legend 10 told Danny that these were kids who couldn’t get into school, and were probably deemed useless. They didn’t want them to cause future trouble so they were training them to become city guards, scouts, and or join the adventure department. Danny saw this was impressed by the leaders wise decision that he gifted him gravity and resistance seals to enhance their training.
Danny also noticed that the legend ranks started families near by. Many of his people began to move towards the eastern gate as it was the safest. The advancement of Glory city was proceeding rapidly. Danny began to slowly train while being on guard waiting for the auction to begin. He saw the happy, satisfied expression on the people face. He saw the many children running around without care which filled him with joy. As he saw people working, going to school, and leaving the bounds of glory city to a wider world, gave Danny a sense of accomplishment.
He will protect them and help them reach heights they can only dream of. He won’t hold their hands though only give them the tools. For humanity to rise many talented individuals need to step up use what is available to reach new heights and contribute back to society.
A couple of days passed and the day of the auction finally came. It’s was held by the Evergreen Pavillon with the help of the Sacred Family. Although they hated Danny they couldn’t reject him when he said he was coming to the auction. They even benefited from his accomplishments so they really couldn’t do anything to him or else they might lose the benefits they have gained.
The Auction house was getting crowded and the streets were filled with vendors trying to benefit before the start of the auction. Many noble and aristocrat families began to arrive and the Nie Family soon made their way in. After a large amount of the noble families made it in and were sent to the specified area the only places left to fill were the vip lounges.
The first to arrive was the alchemist ȧssociation and which were lead by the new director Yang Xin. She was the youngest director in the history of the alchemist ȧssociation and also a grade 4 alchemist. They were lead to the vip room number 10. After them the Divine Family came and were lead by Chen Linjian who was also known by all as Danny’s right hand man. They were lead to the nine room. The quality of the rooms improved as the number decreased with room number 1 being the best. Many spectators wonder who that room was saved for.
The eighth room was occupied by Hongyue Family. The seventh room was occupied by the Snow Wind Family lead by Ye Shuo. Not much is known about him as he keeps to himself but secretly he is the leader of the Snow wind family’s Shadows(a secret force each major family raised and hid from the everyone else.).
The sixth room was given to the huyan, fifth to the Ao Cloud, and forth to the Feng Ming families. This shocked everyone as this was like a slap to the face for 2 of major families that noble families were given a better spot. People were feeling a bit uneasy because of the situation. Everyone understood that the faction against Glory Cities hero was indirectly attacking the prestige of Danny’s supporters.
No moves were made as of yet but their was some tension in the atmosphere. As people were secretly discussing the current events the Chu Family came in and were sent to the third room. People were only a little bit shocked but didn’t show any bid reaction like earlier which displeased the Chu families.
The next group to come was the Sacred Family. Their arrogance was present and they brought a lot of people dressing them selves in gold and rare gems. They acted as if they were the top of the world. The owner of the Evergreen Pavillon personally greeted them and took them to their room. As they approached the first VIP room, were about to enter the owner apologized and said the room was already booked. He pleaded them to follow them towards the second vip room.
The sudden turn of events pissed off the Sacred Family as this wasn’t the plan, while also shocking the spectators wondering who booked the first room.
Just when one of the Sacred Family members wanted to enter the first VIP room and take it by force, Danny opened the door and yelled,” Hey Pavillon Chief why are you taking so long to start the auction. Some people have things to do. See everyone is here even the Sacred Family lets get this show on the rode. Also could you bring from that tea you served me it was really delicious.”
Seeing Danny everyone had a moment of clarity that it was their hero who occupied the room. Danny’s appearance pissed of the Sacred Family but they stayed quiet and went to the Second VIP room without any of the arrogance they showed previously. Finally after everything calmed down and the tension was released by Danny’s actions the auction was starting.
A beautiful maiden stood on stage showing of her sėxy curves. She began to speak,” hello everyone my name is Alexa and I will be your host for today’s Auction. The payment shall be made in purple demon tokens as the items being sold are very rare. The First Item is….”
