Chapter 604: Lenniel
Jenia appeared to be in a better mood when she returned, as if she had truly let out her anger on something.
She took a seat on the other side of Estelia and asked, "Did the auction begin?"
"It’s about to," Estelia answered before falling silent. Even she didn’t understand what she was feeling.
Was Jenia truly the person that she had assumed her to be? At this point, she was starting to have second thoughts. Her favorability of Jenia had gone down as she tried to come to terms with her own emotions.
Her father had constantly told her that Jenia wasn’t a good person, but she didn’t listen to him. But when Eren said the same thing, she wondered if there was some truth to these words.
’So what if she’s a bad person? It shouldn’t change the fact that she is my friend. We have known each other for a long time. Why am I suddenly starting to doubt her?’ She quickly shook her head, trying to stop overthinking about this.
She didn’t even understand why she was taking Eren’s words so seriously. She felt as if something was really wrong with her. Ever since she had been with Eren, something wasn’t right.
She even looked at him, wondering if he had done something to her. But how could an outsider do anything to her? She would’ve known if that was the case.
Her thoughts were cut short as the auctioneer stepped on the stage, holding one end of the chain in his hand. Behind him, a large box-like thing was being carried by two bulky figures.
The other end of the chain seemed to be going inside the box, which was covered by a large black cloth that made it impossible to see what was inside that box.
The two of them placed the box next to the Auctioneer, and stepped back.
"Greetings, to all our prestigious guests. Today, we have some really special items for you that will make you really pleased. So without wasting any of your time, I will mark the beginning of the Auction with the first item!"
The Auctioneer grabbed the cloth that had covered the box, and pulled it off, revealing the thing behind the curtain. The revelation caught the attention of many people, as a cage was revealed.
Inside the cage, there was a human that had a dog-like collar around his neck. One end of the chain was connected to the collar, with the other end of the chain being in the Auctioneer’s hand.
"Our first item of the day is something that has been added to our auction at the last moment. It comes, courtesy of a very special guest," the Auctioneer said, as he glanced at the Room where the Seventh Primordial was staying.
Looking at the cage and the person inside that cage, even Eren was in disbelief, as he stood up abruptly. He didn’t understand what the Seventh Primordial was trying to do!
The person inside the cage was the Right Guardian of Necromancer Tower, Lenniel.

Eren thought that the person was either killed, or kept in some secure prison by the Seventh Primordial, to be tortured. It was why he didn’t have to worry about the Dragon Princess getting more information about his past.
To his disbelief, the first auction item was the man that should never have been here. It was as if it wasn’t the Auction of an outsider, but an auction of his past.
He didn’t know if the Seventh Primordial did it intentionally, or if it was just a coincidence. No matter the case, it was a disaster for him, especially if the Dragon Princess bought him.
"Do you know him?" Estelia frowned at Eren’s drastic reaction, as he stood up at the revelation of the first item.
"I’m just surprised that they are auctioning living people," Eren recovered his expressions, and sat down.
He didn’t want to let Estelia know that he also came from a world that wasn’t earth. If that happened, then no matter how many times he tried to explain his transmigration, he was never going to win the trust of the First Primordial.
Eren placed his complete acting expertise while pretending to be nonchalant, but Estelia didn’t believe it. His reaction was too drastic for just that, especially when he already knew that outsiders were enslaved in this world.
"The first item of the Auction is a very special outsider that was personally caught by the Seventh Primordial who graciously allowed us to auction him."
The Auctioneer proudly introduced Lenniel, who was looking lifeless as the mark of enslavement shone brightly on his body.
"I’m sure you heard about the Necromancer that caused chaos at the City of Hellhounds! The surprising part was that the person survived, even after fighting the Patriarch of the Hellhound Family, and managed to escape!"
"The person that we are auctioning today, is a follower of that person, and also the second in command in that Necromancer’s organization. He himself is a Necromancer, which can make him a very useful slave for you."
"Just the value of information that he holds about the world that he came from, might be even more useful for you, especially since that world’s portal is still open!"
Every time the Auctioneer told something about Lenniel to increase his value, the guests grew more interested in him.
Still, their true interest only arose when they heard that the man came from a world, whose portal had freshly opened. It meant not many had explored that world, which made it even more valuable.
It was a world that had Necromancers that could even fight the Hellhound Patriarch. Just the value of that world, and the kind of people that could be enslaved there, was precious.
"If he’s caught by Rezekiel, that means he was in the Nightwing Clan Territory?! He’s one from the group that knows Eren!" Dragon Princess also started paying attention to that man, believing that she had to buy him at any cost.
