Gerina's sarcasm immediately attracted the agreement of many people. Although the mageweath scroll had already displayed a relatively strong power, they still felt that it was not a high-level gravity mageweath scroll. Besides, gravity mageweaths had very limited uses, and were not very powerful. Hence, it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was trash in an auction of this level.
However, Grand Duke Wedi turned a deaf ear to those voices, and continued to slowly unfold the mageweath scroll in his hand. As the mageweath scroll was unfolded, the heavy force also became stronger. However, due to the protection of the defensive magic array of the auction, the people below did not feel the slightest bit of it.
However, seeing this situation, Grand Duke Wedi was a little anxious. This concerned the reputation of himself and the Gilded Kingdom. If it weren't for the fact that he was afraid that someone would die, he would really want to turn off the defensive mageweath array so that those people could feel the power of the mageweath scroll.
In his anxiety, Grand Duke Wedi couldn't help but tremble slightly. If it had been on other mageweath scrolls, it wouldn't have had any effect at all, but it was a huge problem when it was on this mageweath scroll. As Grand Duke Wedi's hand trembled, the movement of unfolding the scroll became a little larger, and it actually unfolded to one-third of the scroll at once. With this change, the power in the mageweath scroll also surged out violently.
The people who were protected by the defensive magic matrix were all condemning Grand Duke Weidi, as well as the owner of the mageweath scroll, Lin Li. Suddenly, they heard a deafening roar, causing their ears to buzz. Next, they were horrified to see that a large number of spiderweb-like cracks had suddenly appeared on the light golden magical shield that shrouded their heads. At the same time, there was a creaking sound as if it was going to shatter at any time.
This time, the people below the stage were really dumbfounded. Even if it was really just a gravity mageweath scroll, it was definitely terrifying enough for it to possess such power. Most of them were not visiting the Gilded Kingdom for the first time, and naturally had some understanding of the famous art exhibition of the Gilded Kingdom. The Eight Seas Dragon God Barrier was set up in this venue. When enlarged, it could envelop the entire capital. When shrunk, it could only protect a single wine cup in the room. Most importantly, it had a strong defense. Legendary-level power could not shake this barrier at all, and even ordinary Sanctuary powerhouses would not be able to break through it in a short period of time.
However, cracks started to appear on the Eight Seas Dragon God barrier, which had been mistaken for a Gravity Mageweath Scroll. Even though that power was still blocked outside the barrier, the people inside the barrier were all deathly pale with fear. They didn't dare to imagine how terrifying it would be if the power that could break the barrier of the Eight Seas Dragon Gods descended on them. Perhaps even Legendary powerhouses wouldn't be able to survive under that power!
King Bradlor, who originally wanted to give Lin Li some face and bid for the mageweath scroll at a similar price, was so shocked that his jaw dropped when he saw the scene in the hall. No one knew better than him how powerful the Eight Seas Dragon God barrier was. It was a powerful defensive barrier that had the characteristics of a Domain World that had been jointly set up by eight Sanctuary powerhouses back then.
Each of the eight Sanctuary powerhouses took out a powerful nomological law that they were good at to form such a near-perfect combination of nomological structures. In other words, in essence, the Eight Seas Dragon God barrier was equivalent to a solidified Sanctuary-level Domain World. Although that did not mean that the power of the Eight Seas Dragon God barrier was equivalent to the combined power of eight Sanctuary powerhouses, it was definitely much stronger than the Domain World of ordinary Sanctuary powerhouses.
During the rebellion that took place in the Gilded Kingdom, the Ocean Dragon Family, one of the elder families, had attacked Hopra City, but they never managed to conquer the capital city. One of the most important reasons was the existence of the Eight Seas Dragon God barrier. During that rebellion, the Ocean Dragon Family used various methods, but they couldn't shake the Eight Seas Dragon God barrier at all. In the end, they were suppressed by the royal family of the Gilded Kingdom.
Even when the ancient evil dragon's corpse caused a huge disaster to the Gilded Kingdom with its terrifying power that was close to that of a god, the Eight Seas Dragon God barrier could still protect Hopra City. Although the ancient evil dragon's corpse did not deliberately attack Hopra City, it did not let go of this place easily. The role of the Eight Seas Dragon God barrier could not be ignored since Hopra City could survive that disaster.
However, the gravity mageweath scroll that he thought was just a piece of rubbish had now released a terrifying power that could affect the Eight Seas Dragon God barrier. In that case, could the mageweath scroll still be considered rubbish? At the very least, even if it was still a gravity mageweath scroll, it was definitely an extremely powerful magical weapon.
"Is this really drawn by President Felic himself!?" Bradlor finally recovered from the shock, and immediately asked Prince Monteri in disbelief. It seemed like he was asking Prince Monteri, but in fact, it was more like he was asking himself. If not for his identity, he would have slapped himself to see if he was dreaming.
At this moment, Prince Monteri was actually just as shocked as Bradlor was. Although the number of times he had interacted with Lin Li was far less than that of King Bradlor, the simple fact was that a magic genius who had stepped into the Sanctuary-realm in his early twenties could not possibly have the time and energy to have such amazing attainments in the field of inscription!
Of course, Bradlor and Monteri still did not know that Lin Li did not only have such amazing attainments in the field of inscription, but he also had Master-level attainments in alchemy, pharmaceutics, and forging. If they were to find out about that, the two of them would probably go crazy on the spot. After all, each of those fields required a lifetime of research and effort.
Besides, most people might not be able to achieve anything even if they devoted their entire lives to a certain field. The few who could achieve something could also be considered geniuses in their respective fields, such as Young Lord Harquess of the Octopus Clan and the genius pharmacist Wilkins of the Pharmacist Guild. On the other hand, Lin Li was like a combination of geniuses in various fields. If others knew about it, they would probably treat him as the reincarnation of a god.
"I think so, President Felic. There's no need for you to lie to us about this," Monteri said. That was the only way to answer Bradlor's question. Of course, it was not without reason. After all, he could tell from the few times he had interacted with Lin Li that Lin Li was not the kind of person who liked to fish for fame and compliments. It was impossible for him to be despicable enough to claim that someone else's work was his.
At this moment, Gerina, who was inciting the crowd to denounce Grand Duke Wedi, couldn't help but look a little solemn. Even though the power displayed by the mageweath scroll wasn't enough to shock him, it wasn't appropriate to say that the mageweath scroll was trash.
There were plenty of treasures in the Giant Shark Clan's treasure vault, and there were plenty of magical weapons that could cast such power. However, the problem was that most of those items were obtained by the Giant Shark Clan from the Ocean Dynasty that had collapsed back then. It was impossible for them to create something like that themselves. However, the mageweath scroll was the work of President Felic of the Tower of Dusk. Since Felic could create such a mageweath scroll, he would definitely be able to create more.
In other words, Felic could create as many treasures as he wanted. That would undoubtedly make the treasures that he had collected seem to have depreciated. That made Gerina feel rather indignant, especially since he had previously called the mageweath scroll trash. What were the treasures in his treasure vault then?
In fact, the four Godly Generals of the Giant Shark Clan who came with Gerina were tempted by the mageweath scroll. If not for Gerina's previous behavior and the enmity between him and the Tower of Dusk, they would have probably persuaded Gerina to buy the mageweath scroll.
Although the four Godly Generals of the Giant Shark Clan were Sanctuary-level figures, they were different from Sanctuary Masters as they could not create their own Domain Worlds. Hence, in their eyes, the mageweath scroll that could cast such a powerful force was the best way to make up for their shortcomings in this aspect.
Of course, even now, they still thought that the mageweath scroll was just an ordinary gravity mageweath scroll that was much more powerful than the usual gravity mageweath. However, it was precisely because they believed that it was a gravity mageweath scroll that they coveted it. A Sanctuary-realm warrior was already very powerful, and coupled with the power of the mageweath scroll that was almost comparable to the Gravity Domain, it would probably be a nightmare for any enemy.
Unfortunately, the mageweath scroll was the work of President Felic of the Tower of Dusk. Given Gerina's temper, he would definitely not spend money to buy it. Although the four Godly Generals were Sanctuary powerhouses, Gerina was the young master of the Giant Shark Clan, after all. Hence, the four of them had to consider Gerina's opinion.
At this moment, Grand Duke Weidi, who was standing on the stage to display the mageweath scroll, was initially shocked by the power of the mageweath scroll, and even wanted to quickly close the scroll. However, when he saw the expressions of the people below the stage, he immediately changed his mind. Weren't you guys mocking me just now? I'll show you the true power of the mageweath scroll then!
Now that things had developed to this point, Grand Duke Weidi had completely forgotten that his attitude towards the mageweath scroll was actually no different from the people below. It was only because he was the host of the auction, and since the item had been brought to the stage, he had to bear the responsibility of hosting. Hence, he reluctantly displayed the item to the crowd.
However, Grand Duke Weidi was also a person with a temper. After being mocked by the people below for so long, it was impossible for him not to be angry. If the mageweath scroll was really trash, he would have no choice but to admit that he was unlucky. However, now that the mageweath scroll had displayed extraordinary power, he suddenly had hope of regaining his dignity. Hence, he naturally wouldn't give up just like that.
Hence, Grand Duke Weidi, who was holding the scroll, took a deep breath to stabilize his emotions, and didn't stop just like that. He grabbed the mageweath scroll firmly with his fair and well-proportioned hands, and continued to slowly unfurl the mageweath scroll bit by bit to show the crowd below the stage more power of the mageweath scroll.
As the mageweath scroll unfurled further, the surging power became stronger and stronger, causing the entire hall to creak under the pressure. Although the Eight Seas Dragon Gods were blocking it, everyone noticed that the ground under their feet seemed to be slowly sinking under the heavy pressure.
The light of the magical defense also began to flicker alternately under the heavy pressure. The surrounding golden pillars that were releasing defensive power could clearly see the mana flowing and circulating at an accelerated speed, as if they were about to reach the limit of what they could bear.
Although the power of the mageweath scrolls didn't affect anyone directly, everyone present felt extremely stifled. Everything around them made them feel like they were suffocating under the heavy pressure. It was as if the sky had collapsed, and their souls were about to be destroyed and dissipated under the heavy pressure. Even the big shots in the private rooms upstairs couldn't help but look sullen.
The four God Generals beside Greener immediately formed a layer of defense with their Combat Energy to protect the entire private room. Although they didn't think that the power of the mageweath scroll could break the defense of the Eight Seas Dragon Gods, they couldn't afford to let anything happen to the young master of the Giant Shark Clan, after all.
The situation in the other private rooms was the same as that of the Giant Shark Clan. Be it the Sanctuary powerhouses or Legendary powerhouses, they had all taken out their defensive means. It was not that they were timid. After all, the people here were either rich or respectable. If something happened to them, it would be too late to regret it. It was better to make some preparations in advance. It was better to be prepared in case of trouble.
On the other hand, in the private room of the Octopus Clan, Harquess didn't do anything at this moment, and simply stared at the mageweath scroll in Grand Duke Weidi's hand as if he had lost all sense of the outside world. As Grand Duke Weidi further unfurled the mageweath scroll, more mageweaths were revealed. Although it was not the full picture of the mageweath, it had already revealed some of its mysteries.
