It took them several minutes to demonstrate the item.
There were still dozens of items left, so Twilight didn't want to waste any more time. "Now, let's begin the bidding for the 100th item. The starting price is 1,000 magic crystals, and each increment must be at least 50 crystals. "
As Twilight's words fell, everyone fell silent.
Twilight looked at the screen in front of her in confusion. Nothing happened even after several seconds.
Twilight's expression was slightly awkward. Was no one interested in this item? That didn't seem right. They did a lot of calculations before putting up the item. The music box wasn't really useful, but it was still a rare creative item. Anyone who liked it should like it.
Besides, they knew that "Fiery Lotus" would be here soon. She was definitely someone who was willing to spend money on music. Why wasn't she interested?
Not only did Twilight feel awkward, but Angor also felt awkward as the creator of the item.
But he wasn't the one who put up the item, so he remained calm. In the last row of the first floor of the inner hall, a woman wrapped in vines frowned and muttered to herself, "Why isn't anyone bidding?"
The seductive woman beside her was still in shock from the illusion. Her eyes were still a little wet. Hearing her friend's words, she sighed softly and said, "This thing is really good. If it was placed in the prosperous inner land of the wizard world, there might be people who can recognize it. In this barren land, everyone values their magic crystals. They only want to spend them on the most important things. Everyone agrees that the music box is valuable, but the pragmatists won't spend money on it. "
"Anna, would you buy it if you were in my shoes?"
The woman in gauze was Anna, the one who broke Angor's smoke illusion at the train station yesterday. "I …"
Anna pondered for a moment, and her eyes flashed with struggle. Finally, she shook her head and said, "I probably won't buy it. Before I become an official wizard, I won't spend magic crystals on pleasure."
"You think the music box is for pleasure? I think the floating island isn't as simple as it seems. Maybe it can help a wizard's state of mind, "Daichese muttered.
"So what? I can't think that far now." Anna thought about the floating island and showed a complicated expression. But soon, Anna adjusted her mood and teased Daichese, "Why are you suddenly concerned about whether it can be sold or not? The Twilight Auction isn't even in a hurry. What are you worried about? "
Daichese let out a long sigh. "Because I'm the one who put this item up for auction …"
Anna's eyes widened. "This is the treasure you got?!"
Daichese nodded and rolled her eyes. "Otherwise, why would I be worried about whether it can be sold or not? Am I that bored?"
While Anna and Daichese were whispering to each other, Twilight stood on the stage in a daze. About a minute later, no one made a bid.
Twilight coughed dryly. "Since no one is bidding, this item will remain unsold …"
Angor sat on the second floor. When he heard that his music box might not be sold, he felt a conflicting sense of frustration. If the item failed to be sold, Angor could go back to Brute Cavern and confront Toby's friend. But if the item failed to be sold, he would be embarrassed as the creator of the item.
As for buying the music box from his own pocket … he would never do that. The materials for making the music box cost less than 20 magic crystals. He would have to pay 500 times the price to make it.
Dave patted Angor's shoulder. "It's not your fault. They don't appreciate it enough."
As Dave spoke, Twilight suddenly saw the screen in front of her change. Her eyes glowed as she shouted, "Number 185 bids 1,000 magic crystals!"
Someone made a bid!
It was not that the others didn't like the music box. They just didn't want to spend money on it. If they had extra money, they would have bought it too. That was why they kept quiet until someone made a bid. They began to whisper to each other and broke the long silence.
Number 185 … Dave was number 186, and Angor was number 187. Both of them suddenly looked at Prome.
Prome smiled. "I really like this music box."
Part of his words was to please Angor, but the other part was true. He really liked the music box, and he had extra money to spare. He could still study it after buying it. Why not?
"1,000 going once. 1,000 going twice …" Twilight sounded calm, but she was a little disappointed. They estimated the price of the music box to be more than 1,500 magic crystals.
Too bad Lydia didn't seem interested in the music box. Twilight secretly glanced at Box 1. At least she didn't say anything sarcastic. Did this mean she approved of the music box's value?
Just as Twilight was about to announce that No.185 had obtained the Land in the Cloud, a dramatic scene took place on the battlefield.
Within one second, the screen in front of her jumped three times.
Number 35 bid 1,100 magic crystals! Number 19 bid 1,500! Number 1 bid 2,000!
Three times! And all at the same time! Twilight's pupils shrank. The three bidders were all VIPs from the Gold VIP Boxes!
Twilight was overjoyed. She took a deep breath. "Number 35, Number 19, and Number 1 bid at the same time. Number 1 is leading with 2,000 magic crystals!"
Twilight's words ignited the atmosphere in the room. Three people bid at the same time? And they were all Gold VIP Boxes? More importantly, Lady Lotus, who had been mocking the music box all this time, bid as well!
But … the Blood Witch, who had always been Lady Lotus' rival, bid as well? Also, who was the person in Room 19? Everyone was guessing, and the atmosphere in the room heated up.
Twilight didn't know who Number 19 was. But she remembered that Number 19 didn't have anyone in the room. But that didn't matter. Lydia still bid and doubled the price of the music box, which was even higher than what they estimated.
"Two thousand magic crystals going once!" Twilight shouted.
"I bid 2,100 magic crystals." At this time, a strange female voice overpowered Twilight's voice.
"Since when did you learn how to be a gentleman, Flora?" Lydia's voice was always full of sarcasm.
It was Flora who bid 2,100 magic crystals. She giggled. "Don't mock me, Sister Lydia. I don't believe that you didn't see what was hidden in the illusion. "
"So what? I'm more interested in the music." Lydia turned around and said, "I'll pay 2,200 magic crystals."
"My master should be interested in studying the things contained in this illusory realm. 2,300 magic crystals. "Flora wasn't going to be outdone.
"Why don't I give it to Mister Sunders instead?" Lydia didn't hold back. "2,500 magic crystals."
"Why are you competing with me, Sister? 2,700 magic crystals! "
"Competing? Only 2,000 magic crystals? What's that? "
The music box had been left unsold for so long, and now it was sold at such a high price?
And what Flora said about the things in the illusion? All the wizards were dumbfounded. What was inside the music box? It was true that the illusion could affect one's mood, but it wasn't something to be proud of.
"What did you put in there, Angor?" Dave looked at Angor with a puzzled look. A treasure map? Or the coordinates of a mysterious ruin? Sh * t … It can't be! That island in the clouds is the location of a ruin, isn't it?! "
Seeing Dave's shocked expression, Angor put a hand on Dave's forehead and mumbled to himself, "Hey, you don't have a fever. Why are you talking nonsense? Could it be that there's something wrong with him? "
"You're the one who's out of your mind!" Dave pushed Angor's hand away. "I'm asking you a serious question!"
Angor sighed. "That's why I said you're out of your mind. Are you hiding something from me? I'm telling you now. Absolutely not! "
"Then why did Lady Flora say that?"
"You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask?" Angor sighed in his mind. What a mess today. Why did Flora have to go against him all of a sudden? He wasn't the one who put the music box up for auction, but if Flora wanted it, he wouldn't mind spending a whole day to make it for her.
The competition between Lydia and Flora was getting more and more intense. The price was at 2,000 magic crystals a moment ago, and now it was at 5,000!
Wizards didn't lack magic crystals, but this wasn't the right way to spend money! 5,000 magic crystals were enough to buy a mid-tier, or even a mid-tier or high-tier alchemy item.
Even Angor felt sorry for Daisy, not to mention the others.
Daichese was the only one who was excited. She thought she wouldn't be able to sell anything today! She didn't expect the tables to turn! Now the price was at 5,000. She might even be able to buy a high-tier White Orchid Potion, let alone a mid-tier one!
Anna was also envious. "Getting rich in one day! I want to have a taste of it too! "
Daichese smiled. "It's fate!"
Anna sighed. Her expression suddenly became gossipy. She reached out and put her arm around Daichese's shoulder. "Tell me, where did you get this' Land on the Clouds'? Let me make a fortune too!"
Yesterday, Anna heard from Daichese on the train that she found a rare treasure. She didn't ask where it came from though. Now that she knew the treasure was so valuable, she was a little tempted.
Daichese was still smiling, but there was a hint of worry in her eyes. She hesitated. "It's … a secret."
…
The competition between Flora and Lydia was still going on.
Both of them had their own excuses. Lydia said she loved music, while Flora said she wanted to give it to Sunders. But no one knew what they were really thinking.
The two of them didn't even bother to pay attention to Twilight as they continued to bid for the items. Twilight didn't want to waste time either. No one else was going to — Huh? Twilight suddenly saw several bids on the screen from different people.
Twilight coughed twice and interrupted their competition. She then smiled and said, "No.19 just bid 8000 magic crystals. If you two still want to bid, you can start with 8000 magic crystals."
