However, for the people in the hall, they couldn't understand what was going on. Grand Duke Wedi had already said that the mageweath scroll was only at the Master-level, and if it was placed elsewhere, 10,000,000 gold coins would be enough to buy it. Yet, it actually cost more than 100,000,000 gold coins. Are these big shots crazy?
All of a sudden, the hall was filled with all kinds of discussions, and some even linked Bradlor's behavior to the two embarrassing incidents that the Gilded Kingdom had previously done, and thought that the Gilded Kingdom was currying favor with President Felic of the Tower of Dusk again. Of course, their conjecture was originally not wrong, but that was just Bradlor's initial thought.
Now, Bradlor was completely attracted by the power of the mageweath scroll. Even though he did not have a deep understanding of mageweath scrolls, the Octopus Clan was also vying for the mageweath scroll. Hence, there was nothing to worry about.
However, it would not be easy to snatch the mageweath scroll from the Octopus Clan. In terms of strength and financial resources, the Gilded Kingdom was definitely stronger than any of the Sea Clan. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to occupy a place in the Endless Ocean.
However, compared to the Sea Clan, Bradlor had more concerns. Strictly speaking, the Gilded Kingdom did not belong to him alone, and the royal family was not the complete owner of the Gilded Kingdom. For example, the elder families also had a pivotal position in the Gilded Kingdom, and if they joined forces, they could even compete with the royal family.
Hence, if Bradlor wanted to spend a lot of money, he would either have to use the money in his own royal treasury, or get the ministers of the elder families to make a decision on whether to use the money in the treasury. Putting aside whether the ministers would agree to use the money in the treasury, the auction was now in progress, and no one would wait for the ministers to make a decision. Hence, Bradlor could only use the royal treasury.
The Sea Clan was different. Although the Sea Clan also had a Council of Elders, unless it involved the survival of the Sea Clan, it was usually decided by the Sea Clan's great monarch. For the great monarch of the Sea Clan, there was no distinction between the royal treasury and the royal treasury, because he did not have as many concerns as Bradlor when it came to spending money.
"160,000,000 gold coins!" The Octopus Clan immediately made a new bid, increasing the price by 20,000,000 gold coins.
Besides, before Bradlor could respond, the Jellyfish Clan, who had not participated in the auction, made a new bid of 180,000,000 gold coins. The Jellyfish Clan was known as the pharmacists, and could be said to be the pharmacists of the Sea Clan. They were in the pharmaceutical business, and were not inferior to the Octopus Clan in terms of financial resources.
Initially, the bidding for the mageweath scroll had almost calmed down, but the Jellyfish Clan suddenly got involved. However, it was not over yet. After the Jellyfish Clan, a businessman who was said to represent the mysterious Eastern Continent also joined the bidding. In the blink of an eye, the price of the mageweath scroll had exceeded the 200 million gold coins mark.
Although it out out out out out the auction, out out out, it out, the Mageweath't do it out with't, because of the God. Saint Saint, that't t out out, he the auction of. However, although there was still a long way to go before the final price of the God's Mageweath, no one dared to underestimate its rising momentum.
However, when the bidding price was pushed all the way to the 300,000,000 gold coins mark, the voices in the auction venue finally started to slow down. Bradlor gave up on bidding, because 300,000,000 gold coins was no longer what he could afford, and it was too late for him to use the national treasury. The merchant from the Eastern Continent hesitated for a long time, and decided not to raise his paddle. No matter how powerful a mageweath scroll was, it was not worth all the money he had spent on this sea fair.
The remaining competitors were the Jellyfish Clan and the Octopus Clan, who were both wealthy clans of the Sea Clan. However, seeing that the price had been pushed to such an exaggerated level, the two clans began to hesitate.
At this point, it was almost time for the outcome of the auction to be revealed. Even though the bidding price of 300,000,000 gold coins was slightly lower than that of the God's Mageweath Scroll, it was definitely a record in the history of auctions. As the host of the auction, Grand Duke Wedi should be very satisfied with the record-breaking item, the God's Mageweath Scroll, and the God's Mageweath Scroll that was close to the record.
However, at this moment, Grand Duke Wedi suddenly had a crazy thought when he saw that the auction had calmed down a little. Why couldn't the final price of the God's Mageweath Scroll be higher than that of the God's Mageweath Scroll? Everyone knew that the power of the God's Mageweath Scroll was far from its full power. In that case, how powerful would its full power be?
Although there was an appraisal report of the God's Mageweath Scroll on the table, even the report did not mention how powerful the God's Mageweath Scroll would be after it was fully unfolded. It only mentioned that as the God's Mageweath Scroll was unfolded, its power would increase exponentially. Hence, Grand Duke Wedi wanted to make use of the Eight Seas Dragon God barrier to see exactly how powerful the God's Mageweath Scroll was. He also wanted to let the people at the auction see if the God's Mageweath Scroll was worth the price of 300,000,000 gold coins.
At the end of the day, it was because Weidi hadn't been able to vent the anger in his stomach previously. No matter who it was, after being ridiculed like that, it was impossible for them to not take it to heart and pretend that nothing had happened. Moreover, it was Grand Duke Wedi, who had always been a respected noble.
At this moment, the Octopus Clan's bid had already reached 290,000,000 gold coins, and the Jellyfish Clan seemed to have given up. However, Grand Duke Wedi did not follow the usual practice of asking all the bidders. Instead, he picked up the God's Mageweath Scroll again, and said to the crowd, "Everyone, although I've displayed the power of this God's Mageweath Scroll just now, I believe that many people still think that this God's Mageweath Scroll is not as useful as the Heart of All Evil, and it's impossible for it to have such a high value. Hence, I hope to have a chance to show everyone the full power of this God's Mageweath Scroll, and let everyone evaluate its true value. "
Of course, Grand Duke Weidi didn't do this just to vent his anger. On one hand, he was indeed very curious about the power of the God's Mageweath Scroll. However, if he were to auction it now, it would be difficult for him to see the power of the God's Mageweath Scroll. On the other hand, he also wanted to stimulate another round of competition, just like when he auctioned other things, and display more details to attract people.
Grand Duke Wedi's words caused a commotion in the auction venue again. After all, everyone had seen the power of the God's Mageweath Scroll once before. They couldn't understand why Grand Duke Wedi wanted to show it to everyone again at this moment, especially the Octopus Clan. In particular, Harquess of the Octopus Clan was furious. He was about to get the mageweath scroll, but Grand Duke Wedi didn't play by the rules.
In a fit of anger, Harquess stood up and was about to protest to Grand Duke Wedi. However, Hegel and Grand Elder Hayes spoke up in unison to stop Harquess from protesting. Hegel looked at the stage, and said, "Let him show it to us. After all, the two of us have yet to see the mageweath on the scroll with our own eyes. It'll be good for us to see if the money spent is worth it."
When Great Lord Hegel and Grand Elder Hayes came over, Grand Duke Wedi had already ended the display of the God's Mageweath Scroll. He had heard about the God's Mageweath Scroll from Harquess. Although they could tell from the mageweath that Lin Li had extremely high attainments in the field of inscription, it didn't mean that the God's Mageweath Scroll was really impressive. After all, a Master of Inscription could also draw low-level mageweaths. If it was just an ordinary mageweath scroll that Lin Li had casually drawn, the hundreds of millions of gold coins would have been wasted.
Since even the Octopus Clan didn't object, the others who had already withdrawn from the auction naturally wouldn't have any objections, either. Seeing that no one objected to his proposal, Grand Duke Wedi slowly unrolled the mageweath scroll in front of everyone again. With the previous experience, the Eight Seas Dragon God barrier was opened early this time. Hence, Grand Duke Wedi unrolled the scroll a little faster, and soon unrolled it to its previous position.
Perhaps because he had made preparations in advance, the Eight Seas Dragon God barrier was obviously much more stable than before. Although it still seemed to be under great pressure, it no longer seemed to be on the verge of collapse. After seeing that, Grand Duke Wedi could also continue to unroll the scroll in his hand without any worries.
Great Monarch Hegel and Grand Elder Hayes of the Octopus Clan were staring intently at the mageweath scroll in Grand Duke Wedi's hand at this moment, as if their souls had been attracted to it. As they observed it more deeply, the expressions on their faces became more and more impatient, as if they couldn't wait to snatch the scroll from Grand Duke Wedi's hands and study it.
Harquess' realm was not that high yet, and he couldn't see too much from the mageweath scroll. Hence, he looked at the expressions of his father and the Grand Elder nervously, for fear that he might have made a mistake in his judgment.
However, right at this moment, the expressions on Hegel's and Hayes' faces suddenly changed. At the same time, a bloodline phenomenon appeared behind them. It was the phantom of a huge ancient eight-clawed monster. At the same time, the tentacles made of mana also reached out from the space, and waved mysterious mageweaths at the auction stage below the private room.
Are they going to snatch the mageweath scroll!? Harquess was shocked, and he turned his head to look at the auction stage. He saw that Grand Duke Wedi had already unrolled the mageweath scroll halfway, and a large number of cracks had appeared on the Eight Seas Dragon God barrier that was resisting the power of the mageweath scroll. It seemed like it would collapse at any time.
Immediately afterwards, loud explosions could be heard in the auction venue, and the golden pillars that were maintaining the Eight Seas Dragon God barrier erupted with dazzling rays of light. The phantoms of the eight dragons emerged from the golden pillars, and let out a dying wail as if it was the end of the world.
Fortunately, at this moment, the mageweaths that Great Monarch Hegel and Grand Elder Hayes drew out of thin air shot into the magical barrier that was about to shatter, and injected some power into the Eight Seas Dragon God barrier.
At the same time, the Sanctuary powerhouses of the other forces also took action at the same time, and powerful Sanctuary-level defenses piled up under the Eight Seas Dragon God barrier. However, those Sanctuary-level defenses were actually not as strong as the Eight Seas Dragon God barrier. After all, they couldn't combine their respective defensive powers yet. Only Hegel and Hayes could strengthen the power of the Eight Seas Dragon God barrier through mageweaths because they used the power of mageweaths.
Hence, under the strong pressure of the mageweath scroll, the sound of magical defenses shattering could be heard continuously in the venue. Those Sanctuary-level magical defenses were as fragile as eggshells, and seemed to be unable to withstand it for even a second. The only thing to be thankful for was that there were more Sanctuary powerhouses like that. Even if each of their defensive mageweaths could only last for a second, they would still be able to hold on for a little longer.
On the other hand, Grand Duke Wedi, who had caused this incident, was a little scared out of his wits. His original intention was to slowly display the power of the mageweath scroll, and only put it away when it reached its limit. However, it was clear that he had overestimated his control. When all of this happened, he was completely dumbfounded.
"Damn it! Wedi, what are you doing? Hurry up and put that thing away! " King Bradlor was about to go crazy. The people in the venue were all important figures from various forces, such as the princes of the Sea Clan and the presidents of major chambers of commerce. If anything happened to them, the Gilded Kingdom would become the public enemy of the Endless Ocean.
Bradlor's roar finally made Grand Duke Wedi sober up a little, and he hurriedly put away the mageweath scroll in his hand. However, the power that had been released would not disappear immediately after the mageweath scroll was put away. Under the pressure of the terrifying power, the eight dragons that were finally conjured by the Eight Seas Dragon God barrier wailed and disappeared in the air, which also meant that the barrier had collapsed.
Seeing this situation, the Sanctuary powerhouses present did not dare to delay at all, and continuously cast layers of defensive magic to resist the remaining terrifying power of the mageweath scroll. After a few minutes of stalemate, the power of the mageweath scroll was finally blocked.
"320,000,000 gold coins!" Before everyone could come back to their senses, the jellyfish clan immediately made a new bid. Clearly, Grand Duke Wedi's actions had achieved one of his goals. The terrifying power that he had displayed made the jellyfish clan, who had originally planned to give up, join the competition again.
