"Sir Luther …" Ritch calmly shrank back, avoiding Luther's spit. Ritch was very clear about this Archmage's character. Even in the Black Horn chamber of commerce, Sir Luther's temper was famous for being irascible. Although he was an upright person, because of his big mouth, he wasn't very popular in the Black Horn chamber of commerce.
Ritch's method was very simple, he just stood there and waited for Luther to finish cursing.
"Let me ask you, what makes you think that you can vouch for that Mafa Merlin for such a big matter? Are you trying to cause trouble for your teacher?"
After cursing for a few minutes, Luther finally felt thirsty. Just as he was about to reach for the cup on the table, he found that his hand was empty. Ricky handed the cup to him with a smile on his face. "Mr. Luther, have some water …"
"…" Luther took the cup and glared at Ricky. Then, he gulped down a few mouthfuls. After drinking, he didn't continue to curse. The expression on his face softened a little. "Tell me, why do you think so?"
"Sir Luther, listen to me …" Ritch already knew that this would be the result, so he didn't panic when he heard Luther's question. He smiled and whispered in Luther's ear, "That Mafa Merlin is a Gold VIP …"
"Huang …" Luther stood up with a "whoosh". Under everyone's astonished gaze, he suddenly realized that he had lost his composure. In the end, he only managed to say the word "Huang". The rest was swallowed back by Luther.
But this didn't mean that Luther wasn't excited. This Archmage's hands were shivering as he grabbed Ritch's collar. "Come with me …"
"It's bad, it's bad, Sir Luther, my clothes are going to be ruined …"
The two of them left one after the other, leaving the four people in charge of the auction looking at each other in dismay. They were all at a loss and puzzled.
"Tell me, how did you know that this was a Gold VIP …" Luther brought Ricky to a quiet room and sat down on a chair, waiting for Ricky to explain the whole matter.
"Because when High Mage Merlin came, I was the one who received him."
"Hold on, High Mage Merlin?" Luther was startled when he heard this. "You are saying that Mafa Merlin is already a High Mage?"
"Yes, Sir Luthor, according to the information sent by Cadgar from Thousand Sails City, this Mafa Merlin is already a High Mage, and a High Mage more powerful than anyone could imagine …"
"This …" A High Mage in his twenties was indeed frightening. Luther froze there for a long time before helplessly shaking his head. "No wonder he is a Gold VIP. Alright, go on …"
"Yes, yes, Sir Luthor, when High Mage Merlin came, I was the one who personally received him. At that time, the VIP certificate he took out was precisely that Moon Song …"
"Moon Song? You are talking about the Moon Song!" Luther, who had just calmed down, couldn't remain calm once again. He stared at Ricky. "You are talking about the Moon Song that never leaves the Moon Sage's body?"
"Yes, the Moon Sage's Moon Song …"
"My god …" Luther stared at the ceiling for a full three minutes before coming back to his senses. "Hurry, hurry, hurry up and stop those idiots outside. If the Moon Sage finds out that we're auditing the assets of someone he's interested in, we'll be in big trouble. Damn it, that bastard Hanson Charlotte, I'll teach him a lesson sooner or later …"
Luther rushed out of the room while cursing, followed by the helpless Ricky.
Then, the discussion ended.
"Everyone, the Black Horn chamber of commerce has already investigated the assets of Guest Mafa Merlin. There are no issues, so the auction can continue."
It was just a few simple sentences …
It was like a bomb falling in the crowd, causing an unprecedented uproar in the auction hall. 'No issues, no issues … What did that mean? Could it be that there was a huge sum of 20,000,000 golds on that young High Mage's crystal card?'
At this time, everyone looked at Lin Yun in a daze.
Following the whispers, all kinds of things related to Lin Yun started spreading in the auction hall. Soon, everyone pieced together a bizarre and dazzling legendary background for this mysterious youth.
Some said that he was a pawn sent by the Merlin Family to Thousand Sails City. His goal was to control the eastern estuary of the Merlin Kingdom and earn a huge fortune from the prosperous ocean trade.
Others said that this youth was the illegitimate child of some great figure that had been fostered in the Merlin Family. Now that he had reached adulthood, he could inherit an unimaginable amount of wealth.
In any case, all kinds of rumors were bizarre and dazzling, even more bizarre than the stories in novels.
"Impossible …" At this time, only Hanson Charlotte couldn't accept reality.
Nothing could be done about it, the 20,000,000 golds that Lin Yun had thrown out was a huge blow to him.
This wasn't just a problem with the Star Gem.
Hanson Charlotte had waited for almost a hundred years for an opportunity to push the Charlotte Family to the forefront, to show everyone their strength and foundation, to prove that the Charlotte Family wasn't inferior to the other two Families.
Previously, Hanson Charlotte had indeed done it.
The price of ten million gold coins instantly scared everyone …
If the auction had ended here, it would have been perfect for Hanson Charlotte. All his goals had been achieved. The Star Gem would have given the Charlotte Family a True Spirit Magic Tool that could be passed down for generations, as well as an opportunity to obtain an Extraordinary Magic Tool. The bid of 10,000,000 golds would have let everyone know that the Charlotte Family was on the rise.
But unfortunately …
The auction didn't end there.
What happened next completely exceeded Hanson Charlotte's expectations. That young High Mage from the Merlin Family used a crazy price to kill the auction. A bid of 20,000,000 golds was enough to make anyone despair.
Yes, despair …
If the other side had bid 11,000,000, 12,000,000, or even 15,000,000, Hanson Charlotte might have clenched his teeth and fought with the other side, but 20,000,000 was too crazy. It was crazy to the point that Hanson Charlotte didn't even have the slightest idea.
He couldn't even think about it.
Even if Hanson Charlotte wanted to bid 20,000,000 golds, the Elder Council wouldn't agree. That was beyond the scope of the Charlotte Family's ability.
'Mafa Merlin, I'll definitely make you pay the price …' After waiting for close to a hundred years, he finally became the focus of everyone, but at this most glorious time, he was knocked down to the ground by a crazy bid. Thinking of this, Hanson Charlotte felt as if a viper was biting him. Looking at the young High Mage below, Hanson Charlotte's expression was frighteningly sinister.
The bid of 20,000,000 golds directly ended the auction.
As Lin Yun had said, the seven items, including the Star Gem, were all put into his pocket by Lin Yun.
After drawing 20,000,000 golds from his crystal card, Lin Yun cautiously took the Star Gem from Ritch's hands and carefully put it in his pocket. After doing all this, Lin Yun didn't even greet Ritch and directly left with William Merlin and Ross.
Because Lin Yun couldn't wait.
The seven ordinary items could bring at least six Augments for the Doom Staff. With these six Augments, the Doom Staff would most likely reach the True Spirit rank.
To Lin Yun, this was his first true True Spirit Magic Tool.
Although Lin Yun already had the Soul Walker and Syudos, who could barely be classified as a Magic Tool, whether it was Lord Shawn or Syudos, they weren't tailor-made for Lin Yun. This might not matter to an ordinary person, but to someone like Lin Yun, who could fight to the hundredth of a second, the difference was too big.
A Magic Tool that wasn't tailor-made would always have some areas that weren't convenient to use. Syudos might be fine, as Lin Yun would let him display his power freely and could barely display 60-70% of his power. But Lord Shawn, in Lin Yun 'eyes, was a bit unworthy of his status as a True Spirit Magic Tool. Apart from enticing an ignorant youth like Xiuban to sign a contract, Shawn's presence was very, very low.
This wasn't to say that Shawn wasn't powerful enough.
In fact, if Shawn fell into the hands of a mage proficient in soul magic, the power he could display would be enough to make anyone sigh in admiration.
But Lin Yun couldn't …
Lin Yun's research on soul magic wasn't very deep. Lin Yun preferred to control power in his own hands, just like this Doom Staff.
But there was a problem with the Doom Staff …
These six Augments were only magic materials at the moment, and there was still a lot of work to be done before they could become complete Augments.
Each of the six magic materials was worth over a million golds, and processing them was even more complicated. Lin Yun estimated that it would take him at least two months to completely process these six magic materials.
That was too long …
Thus, Lin Yun thought for a bit and decided to look for help.
As for who to look for, that wasn't a problem for Lin Yun.
This was Okland …
Andalusia's holy land of alchemy, the Mercury Tower, wasn't it in Okland?
Moreover, Nolan had repeatedly invited him in the Ash Tower. Taking advantage of this time to take a stroll in the Mercury Tower was a pretty good choice.
Naturally, he would have to rely on himself to deal with the specifics.
