8,000 magic crystals?!
Almost all the wizards present frowned. They were able to live smoothly in this man-eating world. Naturally, they wouldn’t be people who drift along with the flow but have their own opinions and views on the world.
Although this music box is truly interesting. But is it really worth 8,000 magic crystals? Perhaps for those who like it, it may really be possible to achieve this value.
But in terms of the many people present, this is most certainly a no.
Even if these people had the spare money and were willing to buy this music box. The valuation for it will never exceed 3,000 magic crystals. For a formal wizard, this thing can only be used as part of a collection, or at most, a topic of discussion with other people during a party. What other uses does this thing have besides this?
Is it true, as Flora said, the fantasy world contains something they don’t know about?
Even if it was true, with a wizard’s calm self-control, they aren’t like mortals and impulsively buy something without first understanding it.
So, the price of 8,000 magic crystals is really too high.
Even Angel felt a little thankful. Fortunately, it wasn’t him who sent this item to the auction, and no one knows it was he who refined it. Otherwise, it would simply be a ritual of placing himself on an altar to be sacrificed. But Promi didn’t think in these terms. He just gave a sigh. At first, he thought 1,000 magic crystals was a safe bet to win the item. But now the music box has soared to 8,000 magic crystals, and is likely to rise even further, which is simply an incredible figure!
“Who is No. 19? Why did this person bid without saying a word?” Compared with discussing whether 8,000 magic crystals is worth it or not. In fact, the onlookers would like to know who is willing to spend 8,000 magic crystals to buy a music box.
Even Lydia was choked for words as she asked: “My friend, No. 19, can you speak up and tell me why you have bid so high?”
After a long while, there was no response.
A glimmer of a dark expression flashed across Lydia’s face as she said: “Are you deliberately going against me?”
There was still no response.
At this time, Twilight looked backstage and asked a black-haired man: “Do you know who No. 19 is?”
At the beginning of the auction, there was no one in the private room where No. 19 is located. Twilight speculated this person should have come in halfway through the auction.
After a long time, a name came into Twilight’s ear. She suddenly opened her eyes and gently buried her head. She originally wanted to help Lydia, but she didn’t expect No. 19 was that Lord. In front of this Lord, she dared not even speak, let alone provide any help!
However, considering the nature of the fantasy world in the music box and the esteemed identity of the Lord. Twilight understood why he had offered his bid.
Now with knowing the identity of this person, Twilight naturally prefers to side with No. 19. While Lydia is waiting for No. 19 to reply, Twilight’s voice spreads throughout the In-House area:
“Bid of 8,000 magic crystals from No. 19, going once.”
“8,000 magic crystals going twice.”
Twilight didn’t ask about Lydia’s opinion at all but wanted to quickly drop the hammer to sound the result.
But just as she pronounced “three times,” Lydia said in a cold tone: “8,100 magic crystals.” After that, she looked in the direction of private room No. 35 and said: “Flora, do you still want to fight against me?”
Flora’s eerie laugh reappeared as she said: “If sister likes it, I’ll let sister have it.”
Lydia looked at the private room where No. 19 was located and said: “No. 19, do you want more? If you want, I can give it to you.”
8,100 magic crystals is already considered very expensive for most formal wizards.
After a long silence, there was still no answer from No. 19. The number on the screen in front of Twilight also stopped scrolling. After three confirmations, Twilight announced the result: “100th Auction, On Cloud 6, belongs to Lady Red Lotus.”
Twilight then smiled and congratulated Lydia. Not only were Lydia’s sarcastic remarks blocked in Twilight Auction. But the music box was also sold for a nearly sky-high price. Twilight, who was usually indifferent to these matters, couldn’t help laughing joyously.
As Twilight was getting ready to call up the 101st item, Lydia suddenly said: “Not yet.”
“Lady Red Lotus?” Twilight asked with suspicion.
“I just want to know one question, who is the owner of this music box? I like this piece of music very much, and want to find out the story behind it.” Lydia ask slowly.
“Lady Red Lotus, this is against the rules.” Twilight turned and said coldly.
Lydia’s question not only darkened Twilight’s face but also stunned the entire In-House area.
Even Flora raised her brows and secretly sighed heavily. She really deserves the title of lawlessly Immersed in Flame Red Lotus. If she really wants an answer to this question, then she can discuss it in private instead of during the Twilight Auction. The other party doesn’t have to sell her face. But why must she directly ask this question during an auction? Even if Twilight was shameless, it is impossible to tear off her false mask on the spot.
In the last row of the In-House area, Daisy’s face suddenly turned white.
“Is this question against the rules?” Lydia laughed as she said: “Well, I’ll concede, then let me rephrase my question. Can I ask which alchemy wizard refined out, On Cloud 6?”
Lydia’s concession had made Twilight’s face slightly pale, but her next question still made it somewhat difficult for her to answer: “Lady Red Lotus, please don’t embarrass me anymore.”
“Can’t even say who the refiner is?” Lydia suddenly smiled as she said: “It seems the only person you want to protect the rights of is the seller, not the buyer.”
Twilight pressed down the rage in her heart and said: “I can help you ask your question in private. But if the other party is willing to say, then this is beyond my control.”
“All right, let’s do it that way then.” Lydia laughed, but no one knew what the lawless laughter meant.
This stumbling block will be skipped for the moment while Twilight continued on with the auction.
Lydia said she was looking for the music box’s refiner as David looked to Angel with an expression of worry. But Angel doesn’t care much about this issue. Anyway, it wasn’t him who sent it to the auction. What’s he got to worry about?
In the following auction, Angel won an item called: Stone Core of Black Dredging Stone.
As mentioned earlier, Angel wants to refine a piece of space equipment and is missing three kinds of auxiliary materials. One of them is the Stone Core of White Dredging Stone. This material can be picked up from empty space in a plane, and are as numerous as weeds in the Wizard Plane. But Angel couldn’t find where to buy it in the Wizard Market.
He had originally planned to ask Promi to take him to see the wizard-level alchemy store tomorrow. But what he didn’t expect was to see an even better material at the auction!
Stone Core of White Dredging Stone, because of its large quantity and easy availability, is regarded as the most common auxiliary material for the production of space equipment. But because it is too common, there is no other alternative material.
Stone Core of Black Dredging Stone isn’t a substitute either. Instead, White Dredging Stone has changed from white to grey and then from grey to black after tens of thousands of years of transformations. Grey Dredging Stone itself has no effects, but Black Dredging Stone has all the functions of White Dredging Stone. Moreover, it can also be used as a catalyst for refining a space item, directly allowing the space framework to wield the greatest effect when it succeeds.
In other words, the number of main materials originally prepared can refine a maximum of five cubic meters of space. However, five cubic meters is the limit value, not the average. Generally speaking, it is considered very lucky to be able to refine three cubic meters for a piece of space equipment.
But with the Stone Core of Black Dredging Stone, it can allow the space framework to wield the maximum effect. Definitely reaching the maximum limit value of the space item!
With knowing this, why can’t Angel feel happy?
Although it took 1,300 magic crystals to win the bid, Angel felt it was worth it.
Corresponding to Angel’s joy, Promi’s expression became more and more melancholy as more auction items came in succession.
Up to now, the 158th item has been auctioned off. But not a single alchemy weapon can be used against the undead. Not to mention a long-range weapon, even a melee weapon wasn’t presented.
Angel originally wanted to comfort Promi by revealing his willingness to try and depict the “Overture of Death.” But before he could speak, the next auction item stunned him.
“The next item is the Abyss Phantom Nightmare Horn.” Twilight vaguely said: “It was obtained from the third layer of the Abyss Plane as you all should know, so I won’t go into details. The starting price is 6,000 magic crystals, and the price increase shall not be less than 1,000 magic crystals for each bid.”
The starting price and increase in bid price indicate the scope of application for this—Wizard Level Material.
After Twilight finished speaking, the In-House area had no opening bid for a long time.
Twilight also foresaw this situation of no one wanting to treasure the “Abyss Phantom Nightmare Horn.” But this is a kind of alchemy material almost no one can use except for an Alchemy Master.
A true Alchemy Master should at least be able to refine out high-classed items. This kind of master is not like Promi who is being flattered by being called “Master.” In fact, his true level is only worthy of reaching an intermediate alchemy apprentice.
If this item was placed in Sky Machinery City, it would be possible to sell for tens of thousands of magic crystals.
Twilight heavily sighs as she thought: This is a barren wasteland for alchemy… If the “Abyss Phantom Nightmare Horn” is a Mysterious Class material, it can even fetch a sky-high price in this barren land. But it so happens no one has entered the Mysterious Domain yet. This is an extremely awkward position, and it’s normal to be unable to sell it.
Twilight waited another minute and couldn’t help secretly shaking her head when she still saw no one bidding.
All the people sitting in the audience stands also understood the reason. If they haven’t reached the level of Alchemy Master, what reason would they have holding onto this material? Would they use it as a decorative piece?
As a result of this truth, Twilight didn’t feel embarrassed while standing on stage as she saw no bids coming through.
Twilight is already preparing to move onto the next auction item in the backstage. But just then, she sees a slight change in the screen in front of her, there is an extra number behind the reserve price of 6,000 magic crystals.
On the surface, she looked unmoved. But in her heart, she was shocked: “Is there really an Alchemy Master sitting amongst them?”
One has to know, even in Sky Machinery City, Alchemy Masters are extremely rare. At most, they can be counted on one hand.
Whether the other party was an Alchemy Master or not, she will check later. As for now… Twilight put aside her calm expression and smiled as she said: “Buyer No. 187 has offered 6,000 magic crystals. If no one else has an offer, I will begin entering the countdown.”
Someone is bidding for the “Abyss Phantom Nightmare Horn”? No. 187?! A glimmer of light flashed from the eyes of many wizards as they instantly recalled… Each bid made by No. 187. Gaseous materials, Dark Inscription Demon Diagram of Clapper Lichen Blood, Chaotic Drum Beast Leather Paper… Up to now, with even the Abyss Phantom Nightmare Horn, these were all alchemy-related items!
Therefore, No. 187 must be an alchemy wizard, or this person at least knows one.
Now this person is bidding for the Abyss Phantom Nightmare Horn. Is it possible to speculate the Alchemy Master being No. 187? Or perhaps the Alchemy Master is among the people this No. 187 knows?
What an Alchemy Master means is self-evident.
Although the faces of all those present remained unchanged, the undercurrent was quietly surging beneath the surface.
