As for King Bradlor, he had planned to scold Grand Duke Wedi to vent his anger and also to give an explanation to the others who were shocked by the incident. However, seeing that the Jellyfish Clan had made a higher bid so quickly, Bradlor had no choice but to put the matter aside for now, and settle the score with Grand Duke Wedi after the auction was over.
"350,000,000 gold coins!" After seeing the power of the Octopus Clan's mageweath scroll, Hegel was even more determined to get it. He didn't even ask Harquess to step in, and instead stood in front of the window of the private room to increase the bid by 30,000,000 gold coins.
In the entire auction venue, apart from Lin Li, the author of the Mount Tai Mageweath scroll, probably no one knew the value of the mageweath scroll better than Hegel and Hayes. It could be said that the mageweath scroll was as useful to them as the Immortal King's Divine-level mageweath was to Lin Li. It was a beacon to the Divine Smith realm. Not to mention hundreds of millions of gold coins, they would definitely not hesitate to give up half of the Octopus Clan's territory.
"360,000,000 gold coins." The Jellyfish Clan was already a little hesitant when they made the bid. Although the terrifying power of the mageweath scroll was extremely attractive to them, they could only get great power from the mageweath scroll. After all, their talent was in the field of pharmaceutics.
Sensing the hesitation of the Jellyfish Clan, Hegel didn't want to delay it any longer. Hence, he immediately said, "400,000,000 gold coins!"
At this moment, the entire auction venue immediately got into an uproar. The previous Heart of Evil had already set the highest record in the history of the auction. To their surprise, the record was only maintained for a short period of time, and it was broken by a mageweath scroll that had originally been doubted. The price was also unbelievable to everyone. After all, it was just a mageweath scroll to them.
The Jellyfish Clan finally gave up, and Grand Duke Wedi had also recovered from the shock just now. He raised the wooden hammer in his hand, and asked the crowd loudly, "400,000,000 gold coins, Great Monarch Hegel of the Octopus Clan has bid 400,000,000 gold coins. Is there any higher bid!? 400,000,000 gold coins going once! "
What a joke. Offer a higher price? Putting aside the question of whether the mageweath scroll was worth that much money in the hearts of the crowd, there might not be anyone else in the entire auction venue who could afford to fork out so many gold coins.
According to the rules of the auction, Grand Duke Weidi asked three times and finally slammed the wooden gavel on the table. With a loud bang, he announced, "Sold! The owner of Mount Tai will be Grand Monarch Hegel of the Octopus Clan! "
"Boom!" There seemed to be a sudden storm in the auction hall. Everyone stood up from their chairs and clapped as they turned to the Octopus Clan's box. On one hand, it was to congratulate Hegel for successfully obtaining the mageweath scroll, Mount Tai. On the other hand, it was to congratulate the birth of another auction record. Moreover, everyone had a premonition that this auction record was not only unprecedented, but it might not be broken in the future.
However, Gerina of the Colossal Shark Race was so furious that he wanted to flip the table and smash things. Seeing that his enemy had actually sold a mageweath scroll for a sky-high price of 400,000,000 gold coins was definitely not a good thing. He could even imagine how smug Lin Li would be when he met him again.
As the last item was sold, the auction also came to an end. Grand Duke Weidi thanked Lin Li excitedly, and then announced the end of the auction. The people in the auction venue also began to leave one after another. However, when they left, they were all discussing excitedly because they had witnessed the birth of a new record.
Lin Li was also getting ready to leave. The money earned from the auction of the mageweath scroll would be settled at the embassy of the Tower of Dusk later. However, as soon as he got up and walked to the door with Connoris, he heard knocking sounds coming from outside the box. It turned out to be Queen Harrilia and Prince Clive.
After seeing Lin Li, Prince Clive asked politely, "President Felic, we hope to take up some of your time. Is it convenient for you?"
If someone were at the side, their jaws would definitely drop. Prince Clive was not only the prince of the Sea Demon Race, but also a person of high status among all the Sea Clans in the Endless Ocean. In the eyes of most people, Lin Li was just the president of an unknown force from the Breezy Plains. The two of them were like heaven and earth, and yet Prince Clive was actually being so polite to Lin Li. That was something that many people could not imagine.
"Queen Harrilia, Prince Clive, please come in!" Although Lin Li didn't feel flattered, he had a good impression of the other party. As he invited them into the room, he said in a relaxed tone, "I'm really sorry, but this is someone else's territory, after all. I don't have much to entertain the two of you. Please take a seat."
Lin Li knew that the Tears of the Siren that he wanted would definitely not be sent to him at this time. Clearly, Queen Harrilia and Prince Clive had come for something else. It just so happened that he also had plans to cooperate with the Sea Demon Race. Hence, he might as well use the auction venue to talk about it.
"President Felic, congratulations. Your mageweath scroll has set a record for the auction. I'm afraid no one will be able to break this record in the future!" After Prince Clive sat down, he first congratulated Lin Li for the sky-high price of 400,000,000 gold coins. Of course, more importantly, he wanted to lead them to the next topic.
As soon as Lin Li heard the mention of the mageweath scroll, Lin Li knew that it was most likely related to the mageweath. Hence, he smiled faintly, and said, "I was just invited by King Bradlor. I'm rather surprised that it could fetch such a high price. You two shouldn't be here just to congratulate me, right? It's not the first time we've met. What's the matter, Your Highness? "
"President Felic, may I ask if that mageweath scroll is really your work?" Seeing that Lin Li had said so, Prince Clive did not beat around the bush, and asked the question that he was most concerned about.
Although Grand Duke Wedi had already said that the mageweath scroll named Mount Tai was Lin Li's work, it was still unbelievable to see Lin Li's age.
In fact, there were many people in the auction hall who had the same question as Prince Clive. Perhaps only the Octopus Clan would believe that such a powerful mageweath scroll was created by Lin Li.
Most people were more willing to believe that Lin Li had merely taken the work of a legendary Master of Inscription, and claimed that it was his work in order to increase his reputation. In that case, they would be able to convince themselves why Lin Li could take out a mageweath scroll that could fetch a price of 400,000,000 gold coins.
Lin Li did not show the slightest displeasure at Prince Clive's question. Instead, he smiled, and said, "Hehe, I've just made some progress in studying mageweaths recently, and it just so happened that King Bradlor invited me. Hence, I brought this piece of practice to make up the numbers."
What Lin Li said was the truth, but it wasn't the same for others. No one would believe that a piece of practice work could be sold for a sky-high price of 400 million gold coins. Even Prince Clive could not help but look at his wife, Queen Harilya, after hearing this.
The females of the Sea Demon Clan were all masters of mental strength manipulation, and were extremely sensitive to the mental strength fluctuations of others. In other words, they were like biological lie detectors, and Lin Li's mental strength fluctuations could not escape their senses at all. Although Queen Harilya was not there to be a lie detector for Clive, but to show her respect for Lin Li, it did not stop her from seeing if Lin Li would lie or not.
However, this reaction gave Queen Harilya a fright. The other party's mental fluctuations gave her a feeling of vastness and immeasurability.
Among the many clans of the Sea Demon Clan in the Endless Ocean, the females of the Sea Demon Clan were born Masters of Mental Strength, and their mental strength was definitely incomparable. As the most powerful existence of the Sea Demon Clan, Queen Harilya's mental strength was even more unparalleled.
However, even though it was just a simple contact on the mental level, the mental strength that Queen Harilya was so proud of was like a small boat in the boundless ocean in front of Lin Li's mental strength fluctuations. With such a great disparity, it was not easy for Queen Harilya to escape unscathed, let alone detect Lin Li's mental strength fluctuations.
How could he have such a massive mental strength!? Queen Harilya was stunned. In her mind, only a god could have such a huge amount of mental power. However, the person sitting in front of her was a real human in his early twenties. How could this be!?
At the thought of this, Queen Harilya could not help but take a few more glances at Lin Li, but she could not understand this young human anymore. What kind of person is he? He's a Sanctuary powerhouse in his early twenties, and has such high attainments in the field of inscription. His mental strength has also reached such a terrifying level. Is this still the human I know?
Ordinary Sanctuary powerhouses would not be able to detect Queen Harilya's Mental Detection at all. However, Lin Li's mental strength was not only extremely massive, but had also been tempered by the Immortal King. Hence, he could sense it at first contact. However, Lin Li did not expose her, and simply smiled at Queen Harilya.
At this moment, Prince Clive also discovered his wife's abnormality, but for male Sea Demons, mental strength was not their forte. Hence, he naturally did not know how shocked his wife was now.
Fortunately, Queen Harilya quickly recovered from the shock, and nodded at her husband to confirm that Lin Li was the author of the mageweath scroll. Although she could not detect if Lin Li was lying through the detection of her mental strength, she instinctively did not think that Lin Li would lie about this matter at the thought of his vast and boundless mental strength.
This was a monstrous genius that was rarely seen even in a million years! His massive mental strength was even comparable to that of the gods. Who could be sure that he did not have such high attainments in the field of inscription!? After Queen Harilya discovered this matter, she was no longer just thinking about the mageweath. Instead, she hoped to have a deeper cooperation with this human genius who did not seem like a human.
Prince Clive did not know what his wife was thinking. After receiving an affirmative answer, he finally told her about the matter that he needed Lin Li's help with. "President Felic, actually, when I saw your mageweath scroll, I knew that you must have extremely high attainments in the field of inscription. Didn't we bid for the Heart of All Evil with your help previously? However, in order to make the best use of the power of the Heart of All Evil, we still need a matching mageweath. Hence, we came here this time hoping to invite you to help us complete the mageweath of the Heart of All Evil when it's convenient for you. "
Upon hearing this, Lin Li completely understood that this was actually a small matter to him. Moreover, after interacting with Prince Clive, he had a good impression of the Sirens, and had the intention of cooperating with them. Hence, he did not act pretentiously, and nodded. "I see. It just so happens that I'm quite interested in the beautiful sea where the Sirens live. After I'm done here, I'll find a time to pay a visit."
Lin Li was not flattering him. The Sirens were known as the elves of the sea. Apart from the beauty of the female Sirens, there were many other aspects that were very similar to the elves. One of them was the construction of their living environment. In the Endless Ocean, the Sea of Stars and Moons where the Sirens resided was famous for its magnificent scenery. It was not inferior to the Emerald Forest of the elves at all.
Lin Li's words made Queen Harilya and Prince Clive very proud. Of course, more importantly, they heard that Lin Li had agreed to help. Prince Clive suppressed the joy in his heart, and stood up to say to Lin Li, "Okay, President Felic. In a few days, we'll get someone to send the Tears of the Sirens you want …"
Just as Prince Clive was halfway through his sentence, there was a sudden violent tremor from the ground. At the same time, he felt a massive and violent aura coming from the direction of Helena Port. They were now in the capital of the Gilded Kingdom, and it could be said that there was no safer place in the entire Gilded Kingdom than here. Now that such a change had occurred, it was simply unbelievable.
At this moment, Lin Li and the others could not be bothered to say anything else, and hurriedly walked out of the private room. At this time, the people in the auction venue also had the same reaction as them. They all walked out of the venue to see what exactly was going on.
