"Congratulations, No. 187. The Abyssal Nightmare's horn is won by buyer 187 for 6,000 crystals," Twilight announced and glanced at the silver card VIP section on the second floor.
After confirming that he got the item, he broke into a big grin.
Prome glanced at Angor in confusion. He couldn't understand why Angor would spend so many magic crystals on a wizard-level material. Just like the other wizards, Prome wondered if Angor knew a master alchemist. But when he thought about it, Angor only asked him questions about the most basic things. It didn't look like someone who taught him anything.
Since Prome didn't want to ask Angor, he could only give Dave a look.
Following Prome's confusion and his own curiosity, Dave asked Angor, "Abyss Nightmare's horn? What's it used for? Why did you buy it? "
Angor didn't answer the question. "It's very useful."
As for what it was, Angor only smiled mysteriously and didn't say anything.
An Abyssal Nightmare's horn? Angor chuckled in his mind. It was indeed an Abyssal Nightmare's horn, but it wasn't just an Abyssal Nightmare's horn either. Just like the black dense stone he bought before, although it was also a dense stone, it was much more superior than the white dense stone.
But this Abyssal Nightmare's horn wasn't simple at all.
Its real name was the Black-Gold Nightmare's Demonic Soul Horn!
In a broad sense, the Black-Gold Nightmare's horn was an Abyssal Nightmare's horn, just as Twilight said. But in a narrow sense, the Black-Gold Nightmare's horn had something that other Abyssal Nightmares couldn't compare to.
This was because it was even more special and even rarer!
All Nightmares were actually "fallen warhorses" in essence. Most of them died on the battlefield, corrupted by darkness and resentment, and eventually turned into Nightmares. They were monsters that were born to be extremely powerful. Black-Gold Nightmares, on the other hand, were unique among all Nightmares.
Before the Black-Gold Nightmares became corrupted, they were a type of warhorse with a noble bloodline. There were many different types of warhorses, but as long as they had this noble bloodline and eventually fell, they were collectively known as the Black-Gold Nightmare.
The origin of this noble bloodline was the Saint Giorgio Pegasus.
In many places, the San Giovanni pegasus was also known as the unicorn.
Unicorns were super magical beasts that grasped the mysteries of life and death. Because they grasped the mysteries of life and death, they would never fall. As for the Blackgold Nightmare Devil, because it only had a little bit of the Unicorn bloodline in its previous life, it was unable to comprehend the mysteries of life and death. In the end, it could still fall, but the chances were very small.
Any magical beast that fell would be corroded by the aura of evil and death, and the Blackgold Nightmare was no exception. However, because it once possessed the bloodline of a unicorn, the Black-Gold Nightmare had undergone a miraculous change. The aura of death and evil filled its body, but the aura of life and death of the unicorn that it once possessed was forced into the horn on its forehead.
This meant that the Black-Gold Nightmare's Demonic Soul Horn not only contained the most evil aura of death, but also an extremely weak aura of life.
This was the difference between him and the other Nightmares.
However, the aura of life was extremely weak. It was only contained inside the horn, and it did not manifest as energy. Instead, it would form white, thread-like strips inside the horn, which were shaped like spirals. In other words, the reason why Angor could tell that the horn was a Blackgold Nightmare Devil's horn was because of the spirals.
The reason why Angor wanted to buy this item was because it was the key to becoming an alchemist of the Death Faction.
Just as Twilight had said, it was an adept-grade material. Angor could not refine such a material at his current level. However, Angor did not need to refine it. According to a secret record in Basic Alchemy, the Blackgold Nightmare Devil's Demonic Soul Horn did not need to be refined at all.
For alchemists of the Death Faction, the horn's real purpose was to be used as a mana conductor.
Angor obtained the book from the Nightmare Realm. The book's description was almost identical to the one he recorded in Sunders' study, except for one thing.
The only difference was the Dark Transformation Technique.
Blacken Spell was a unique spell used by Death Faction alchemists, and it had no level restriction. Angor could use it right now. The only difference was that the amount of mana required would be reduced according to the amount of mana.
Angor already learned Blacken Spell when he was studying alchemy some time ago. However, the final step, which was to "blacken" a material to create the Four Original Elements, always failed.
After reading the book carefully, Angor realized that the reason why he could not blacken a material was that he did not use a mana conductor.
Death Faction alchemists had many different types of mana conductors, but Angor needed to become a master alchemist to make most of them. However, there was only one type of mana conductor that could be used naturally without being refined — the Blackgold Nightmare Devil's Demonic Soul Horn.
The Blackgold Nightmare Devil's Demonic Soul Horn contained the purest aura of death as well as a trace of life energy. Just based on its inherent attributes, it was naturally compatible with the alchemists of the Death Faction. In ancient times, alchemists of the Death Faction worshipped "death and rebirth".
Angor did not have a mana conductor before, so he could not use Blacken Spell, which had always been his biggest regret. Now that he found a Blackgold Nightmare Devil's Demonic Soul Horn at Twilight Auction, there was no way he would let it go.
Besides, an Abyss Nightmare Devil's Demonic Soul Horn was worth more than 6,000 magic crystals, while a Blackgold Nightmare Devil's Demonic Soul Horn was even rarer. Angor was lucky enough to get it at such a low price.
One could only blame the Twilight Auction's appraisers for being too blind.
Angor was so immersed in his joy that he did not notice that a strong undercurrent had appeared in the auction hall because of his purchase of a material that could only be used by "master alchemists".
Angor, who was in the middle of the undercurrent, did not notice it.
The auction continued. The next four items continued in the style of the Twilight Auction — a comprehensive auction where everything was sold and everything was available.
Item 159: Starry Night, Pheromone Potion.
Item 160: Brain of a Domo Beast, used to modify human bodies.
The 161st lot was a Cloud Whale Cub, a mount and vehicle.
Item 162: Rainbow Pearl Necklace, a space storage.
Angor was most interested in the Cloud Whale Whelp. He lived on a Cloud Whale for a long time and knew how powerful an adult Cloud Whale was.
However, it would take hundreds of years for a small cub to grow into a cloud whale that could cover the sky and cover the sun. The food of the cloud whale was not something he could afford … Most importantly, the price of a cloud whale cub had soared to 30,000 magic crystals. Angor would not have 30,000 magic crystals even if he sold himself, so he had to say goodbye to the Cloud Whale Whelp reluctantly.
The most expensive item was not the Cloud Whale Whelp, but the Rainbow Pearl Necklace.
It was obviously a female accessory, but in the end, it was bought by a male wizard with 50,000 magic crystals. Angor knew it was a male wizard because Lydia and Flora teamed up to mock him. "A man buying a female accessory? What a joke."
Although the male Magus was furious, he did not refute them. What they said was true, and it was the truth.
However, he had been saving magic crystals for a long time just to wait for a space storage item to appear in Twilight Auction. There were no new space storage items in Twilight Auction for several years. This time, there was finally a space storage item, but it was a female accessory. He struggled for a long time before deciding to buy it. It was just a necklace anyway, and no one would see it if he wore it on his body.
As they waited for the 163rd item to arrive, Twilight suddenly spoke up, "You're right.
"The next ten items are reserved items of Twilight Auction. I believe you already know them, so I won't go into details." Twilight clapped her hands, and all the lights in the hall dimmed. Only the stage was illuminated by a spotlight effect.
Angor heard the sound of iron wheels rolling on the stage. Soon, a row of iron cages covered with black cloth was pushed onto the stage.
Angor was puzzled when a worker walked onto the stage and began to remove the black cloth from the cage on the far right.
When the cloth was removed, Angor's eyes widened.
He originally thought that the cage was filled with magical beasts, but he didn't expect that it was filled with … a mermaid with a naked upper body and a pink scaly lower body.
It was a beautiful mermaid who was soaked in a transparent water tank. She had a frightened expression on her face and was constantly moving back and forth. However, the water tank was completely sealed, leaving only a small ventilation hole. She couldn't get out of the water tank at all.
"A mermaid caught 200 nautical miles away from Chambord Coast. She's from the Feg Mermaid Clan. Her lifespan is about 300 years. She's 16 years old now. She hasn't mated yet. By the way, she has a complete reproductive system. According to the test done by the appraiser, she's not isolated from human reproduction. But her offspring will be a humanoid, "Twilight explained. "She's probably a royal member of the Feg Mermaid Clan. She's born with talent.
"Whether you keep her for personal use or dissect her for research purposes, she'll be a great slave."
Many men in the hall chuckled at Twilight's words.
Angor frowned at the "slave auction", but he did not object. There were slave markets in mortal countries as well. Many of the workers in Padt Manor were bought from slave markets.
Most of the slaves in the mortal world were willing to be slaves. Since they did not have enough food to eat or clothes to keep warm, Angor did not think it was too cruel.
However, the "mermaid" mentioned by Twilight was "captured" by them. This was the only thing that bothered Angor a little.
Angor had learned a lot from Jon. Forcing others to lose their freedom for personal gain was against his values. But this was how the wizarding world worked. Strength was better than reason, and power was better than power. Angor had no choice but to accept this fact. He could not control other people's thoughts. With his current strength, the only thing he could do was to maintain his own values.
