My Husband Is Definitely a Paladin — Chapter 27

THE ORNAMENT ATTACHED TO THAT SWORD...!

IT LOOKS EXACTLY LIKE THE STONE I HAVE!!

FURTHERMORE, EXACTLY HALF OF IT IS MISSING.

JUST LIKE IT USED TO BE ONE BUT WAS SPLIT IN HALF.

IS IT A TYPE OF MAGIC STONE CREATED ONLY IN DUNGEONS?

BUT I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF A MAGIC STONE RELATED TO SPACE AND TIME.

WAIT, WHAT DO YOU MEAN IT IS UNAPPRAISABLE?

IS IT NOT A RULE THAT THE AUCTION ITEMS HERE RECEIVE A DETAILED APPRAISAL FROM THE HAND OF APPRAISAL?

AH... THAT IS CORRECT, PRINCE OF NEREN.

THIS DAGGER ALSO DEFINITELY RECEIVED AN APPRAISAL THROUGH THE HAND OF APPRAISAL, BUT...

THE APPRAISAL CERTIFICATE WAS WRITTEN IN A LANGUAGE NOT USED ANYWHERE ON THE CONTINENT.

THEREFORE, THE PRIESTS ARBITRARILY NAMED IT THE "UNAPPRAISABLE DAGGER."

OOH... IT IS A HIGHLY MYSTERIOUS ITEM!

BUT THEN, DOES THAT NOT MEAN WE CANNOT KNOW WHAT THE ARTIFACT'S EFFECTS ARE?

TH-THAT IS CORRECT.

EVEN IF A WICKED AURA MANIFESTS FROM THIS ARTIFACT,

THE AUCTION HOUSE WILL NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY.

THE INSIDE OF THE AUCTION HOUSE WAS SOON DIVIDED INTO THOSE WHO SHOWED INTEREST IN THE DAGGER

AND THOSE WHO FOUND IT REPULSIVE.

WHAT SHOULD I DO?

SHOULD I PARTICIPATE IN THE AUCTION AS WELL?

I DO HAVE SOME SPARE MONEY LEFT EVEN AFTER SETTING ASIDE THE 100,000 GOLD TO PAY THE COUNT, BUT...

HOWEVER, THAT IS THE MONEY I NEED

TO BUY A CABIN AND BUILD A FOUNDATION FOR MY LIFE AFTER I BECOME FREE.

THEN, WE WILL BEGIN THE FINAL AUCTION.

THE STARTING PRICE IS... 20,000!!

WHAT IS SUDDENLY WRONG WITH THIS RING?!

IT IS SQUEEZING MY FINGER TIGHTLY, JUST LIKE WHEN I FIRST PUT IT ON!

HARDER AND HARDER,

AS IF IT IS ANGRILY TELLING ME TO DO SOMETHING!

40,000 GOLD!!!!

40,000 GOLD,

WE HAVE 40,000 GOLD! DO I HEAR ANY MORE?

OH NO, THAT HAS FAR EXCEEDED THE MONEY I CAN SPEND!

I CANNOT BUY IT!!!

AAAGH!!!

ALRIGHT,

I GOT IT!!!

100... 100,000 GOLD!!!!!!!!!!!

sold for 100,000 gold!!!!!

PLEASE GIVE A ROUND OF APPLAUSE TO THE WINNING BIDDER OF THE FINAL AUCTION ITEM!

WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU TWO?!

THE BIZARRE DAGGER THAT SUDDENLY APPEARED AT THE END OF THE AUCTION.

I SOMEHOW BARELY MANAGED TO OBTAIN IT DUE TO THE RING'S DEMANDS, BUT...

THE AUCTION FEE IS SEPARATE.

*SETTLING THE PAYMENT

INSURANCE, SHIPPING, AND OTHER MISCELLANEOUS FEES ARE ALSO SEPARATE.

LASTLY, YOU MUST PAY THE TAXES, TOO, CORRECT?

HUH...?

NEGATIVE...?

BEYOND HAVING NO MONEY LEFT DUE TO UNEXPECTED EXPENSES,

Irenne, are you okay?

I will cover the missing amount for now!

I will lend you some, too!

Do not worry too much, Irenne!!

I EVEN HAD TO BORROW MONEY FROM REINA AND CYNTHIA.

I THOUGHT I WOULD FINALLY BE ABLE TO PAY OFF MY DEBT THIS TIME-!!!

YOU TOO, UNTITLED HEALING!!

WHY ON EARTH DID YOU DO THAT?!

EVEN IF I ASK AND GET ANGRY, THERE IS NO WAY AN ARTIFACT CAN ANSWER.

FURTHERMORE, IN THE DUNGEON OF THE STONE OF SILENCE, SIR MICHAEL SAID,

FOR SOME REASON, ARTIFACTS SEEM TO APPEAR FREQUENTLY IN THE DUNGEONS YOU CHOOSE, LADY IRENNE...

WHICH MAKES ME THINK I SHOULD LAY LOW FOR A WHILE~!!!!!

EXPECTED SCENARIO IF MY REGRESSION IS DISCOVERED

Execute the witch!!!

I DO NOT EVEN KNOW WHAT USE THIS DAGGER HAS RIGHT NOW,

AND I AM AT A TOTAL LOSS FOR WHAT TO SAY

TO THE COUNT'S SERVANT WHO PERIODICALLY COMES TO PRESS ME FOR MONEY, BUT...

WHEN I THINK ABOUT HOW ORIANA WILL NOT BE LOOKED DOWN UPON ANYMORE,

I WAS SO HAPPY THAT I EVEN SHED A FEW TEARS DURING THE AUCTION.

ME TOO!

I AM ALREADY PLANNING HOW TO DECORATE THE MARITAL HOME

I WILL LIVE IN WITH FELIX IN THE FUTURE, FROM THE WALLS TO THE FLOORING MATERIALS.

I WAS EXTREMELY HAPPY TO SEE THE TWO OF THEM LOOKING SO JOYOUS

AFTER THE AUCTION WAS OVER...

LET'S JUST GO TO SLEEP FOR TODAY, AND WHEN I WAKE UP TOMORROW,

I WILL THINK ABOUT WHAT TO DO AGAIN.

WHAT IS THAT?

I HEAR SOMEONE BEHIND ME.

WHO...

QUIET.

IT IS ME, IRENNE.

SIR MICHAEL...?!

I APOLOGIZE.

I WAS TRYING NOT TO ATTRACT ATTENTION IN THIS STATE.

IT IS HARD FOR ME TO MAINTAIN MY RATIONALITY...

THE DEMONIC ENERGY IS IMMENSE...!!

WHAT KIND OF DUNGEON DID HE SUBJUGATE?

A DUNGEON CAPABLE OF LEAVING HIM IN THIS STATE HAS NOT APPEARED YET, HAS IT...?

I MUST PURIFY HIM FIRST...!!

SIR, PLEASE HOLD MY HAND!!!

I PURIFIED HIM FOR A LONG TIME UNTIL I HAD NO STRENGTH LEFT TO SIT UP, BUT

WHY IS THE MONSTER'S BLOOD NOT PURIFYING, LET ALONE THE DEMONIC ENERGY?

COULD IT BE THAT IT IS NOT A MONSTER'S BLOOD?

EVEN THOUGH MY PURIFICATION POWER ROSE TO THE 7TH GRADE, IT DOES NOT SEEM TO BE PURIFYING HIM AT ALL.

IF HE GETS CONSUMED BY THE DEMONIC ENERGY LIKE THIS AND TURNS INTO A MONSTER...

THERE WOULD BE NO GREATER DISASTER.

WHAT SHOULD I DO?

...TODAY,

YOU SAID YOU WOULD GRANT ME ONE FAVOR.

PARDON?

AH, AT THE AUCTION HOUSE...!

YES, THAT IS RIGHT.

IN THAT CASE,

WOULD YOU ALLOW ME TONIGHT?
