Theron was not the only one who was shocked by the sudden price surge. Everyone else in the room was confused.
After a while, under the urging of the VIP room, Theron came back to his senses and said, "Room 5 has offered 2000 magic crystals. Does anyone want to raise the price?"
Theron swallowed his saliva and looked at the price on the screen while thinking about what was going on.
Why did so many people suddenly bid for the item?
Theron recalled Dave's angry words. Who was the one who made this alchemy illusion?
"Is this really Angor's alchemy illusion?" Leona's voice came from Room 11.
Dave was also surprised. He didn't expect someone to bid 2,000 crystals just because he mentioned Angor's name. If he knew Angor's name was so well-known among wizards, he would have mentioned his name earlier.
"Yes. I'm from Brute Cavern. I'm an employee at Prome's Alchemy Shop in the underground market. This alchemy illusion is definitely Angor's work. "
Theron finally heard the name of the creator — Angor.
Theron thought for a while. Was Angor a famous alchemist? He didn't seem to have any impression of this person's name.
Meanwhile, inside a room on the third floor.
Sharon, who was wearing a long face, also asked in a low, muffled voice, "Who's this Angor? Is he famous? "
All the workers in the room shook their heads. None of them were alchemists, so none of them knew Angor's name.
"Then get the hell out of here and find out who he is! I want to know who this person is! "Sharon roared angrily.
At the same time, Sharon took out a pure white music box from his ring space.
This music box was the one he had told Theron about. He had spent over a hundred magic crystals to buy it from a shop. Carefully comparing this music box with the black one on the stage, both of them seemed to have taken the same route, but the music box on the stage was obviously more exquisite, and the craftsmanship was more complete.
"Could they really be two different music boxes?"
The new price limit was like a slap to Sharon's face. He suddenly had an unsettling thought.
I hope it's not true.
While Theron was still wondering about Angor's name, other buyers were still wondering why the item was so expensive all of a sudden. What was the secret behind it?
Some people even asked Theron to take out the music box so that everyone could see what was going on.
Theron was also considering whether he should open the music box again to see if there was any key information missing. Otherwise, why would so many people suddenly bid for it?
But at this moment, another question came from the VIP room. But this time, it wasn't Leona who asked. It was VIP Room 13.
"Auctioneer Theron, there's no need to open the music box. Can you show us the music box from different angles? For example, let us see the side or the bottom."
This was a gloomy voice. When he spoke, it was as if a chilly wind had swept through the entire auction hall, bringing with it a chill that made people shudder.
Theron raised his head and looked towards the source of the voice. He didn't recognize the owner of the voice, but he knew who was sitting in VIP room No. 13. It was Duncan, the "Nether Whisper".
This was a wizard who wandered the land of the dead and had unfathomable strength. Just like "Miniature World" Dumartin, Duncan stayed in Brute Cavern all year long to do his research and rarely came out.
Theron was also wondering why Duncan came to the auction. Now that he heard Duncan's voice, Theron had a feeling that Duncan wasn't here for the music box, was he?
If Duncan was really here for the music box, then what about the other people, such as Dumartin? Were they here for the same thing?
Although this possibility was absurd to Theron, the appearance of this group of people was beyond his expectations. It wasn't impossible for an absurd result to occur.
"Of course." Theron nodded.
Theron lifted the music box with his spiritual power. Under the direct light, he moved the music box slowly, showing everyone a 360-degree view.
When the bottom of the music box was revealed, Theron didn't notice anything special. Suddenly, Duncan said, "Okay, I'll give you 3000 magic crystals."
Duncan's bid caused another round of heated discussion in the auction hall.
Why did Duncan suddenly bid? Why did he bid after Theron displayed the music box in all aspects? Did he see something?
Everyone looked at the music box again.
They didn't pay much attention to it before, but now, a wizard from a private room on the second floor suddenly spoke up, "Why do I feel a faint energy ripple from the bottom of the music box?"
Theron also looked at the bottom of the music box.
Because the music box was formed as a whole, it had energy waves. When Theron first saw it, he didn't notice the subtle waves below. Now that someone had reminded him, he realized that there were obviously unusual waves at the bottom.
Theron tried to use his spirit power to sense the energy ripple, but as soon as his spirit power touched it, a pattern slowly appeared on the bottom of the music box.
Everyone saw it.
It was a golden pattern, which depicted a lion's heart surrounded by thorns.
"That looks like a logo? Could it be the personal imprint of the refiner? "Someone voiced out his doubts.
There were a lot of apprentices in Brute Cavern, and someone quickly gave him an affirmative answer.
"So it's a personal stamp. An alchemist with a personal stamp must be very powerful, right? Someone must be willing to pay such a high price. "
The appearance of the personal stamp gave Duncan a reasonable explanation for his bid.
However, this was only the surface of the music box. Some of the wizards in the room noticed something deeper — a rune!
The rune was hidden in plain sight because there was a strange rune on it.
It was a personal stamp. The maker must be someone powerful to use a rune to hide his or her personal stamp.
"3,500 magic crystals, Mister Duncan. You're a practitioner of death, so the music box is useless to you, right? Why don't you just give it to me? " While everyone was still discussing the personal stamp, someone else made a bid. It was Madelyne, who was sitting next to Duncan.
She was also the only survivor of the Silian Clan.
Duncan spoke again, and his voice sounded like a chilly wind from hell, "The Land of Death is too lonely. With a piece of music to accompany me, I won't feel so lonely. 4,000 magic crystals."
Madelyne knew Duncan wouldn't give up on the music box no matter what she said, so she decided to outbid him with a higher price.
For the next few minutes, it had become a personal competition between Madeleine and Duncan. You name a price, and I raise it.
The price of the music box was raised to 6,600 magic crystals in a short time, which was almost what Theron had expected from the last few items.
And this was only the third item of the auction.
It was also the item that Master Sharon had asked him to start at 50 magic crystals.
Theron couldn't help but think to himself, "Master Sharon, you're really blind this time."
When the price reached 6,000 magic crystals, the two started to slow down. Madelyne's wealth was only around 10,000 magic crystals, and that was the inheritance of the Silian Clan. Duncan didn't go out all year round, so he rarely used magic crystals. However, he didn't have many opportunities to earn magic crystals, so he didn't have much of a reserve.
Therefore, when Madelyne bid 6,600 magic crystals, Duncan couldn't take it anymore.
While Duncan was hesitating, Dumartin suddenly made a bid. "7,000 magic crystals."
It was clear that Dumartin was more confident than Madelyne and Duncan when he raised the price by 400 magic crystals. Duncan gave up, while Madelyne decided to wait and see if anyone else was going to compete with Dumartin.
Soon, Madelyne got her answer. And there was more than one person competing with Dumartin.
"Rose Crown" Leona and "Wise Man" Shildeen both made their bids at the same time, and each time, the price would start at 500 magic crystals. Seeing this, Madeleine sighed and put down her hand.
Now, three people were competing against each other without any regard for their friendship.
The intense bidding caused Theron to fall silent once again. This kind of impatient atmosphere would only appear when the final item was being auctioned.
But now, it meant that there was something fishy about the music box. At the same time, he now knew why the wizards from Brute Cavern were here. They were probably here for the music box.
With that in mind, Theron looked at VIP Room No.1, where Sumesh was sitting. Would he join the competition as well?
The price was getting higher and higher. It had even broken through 9000 magic crystals and was only a step away from 10,000 magic crystals.
Sharon was supposed to be happy, but he wasn't.
Even if the price reached ten thousand, the auction house would only get a share of a few thousand magic crystals. Sharon didn't care about such a small amount. Instead, he felt like he was being slapped in the face every time someone made a bid.
All the workers in the room kept quiet. They didn't want to get Sharon involved.
"Still haven't found out who he is?" Sharon asked in a cold tone.
"We're still asking around, but we don't have an answer yet."
"Go ask the alchemists! If he has a personal mark on him, he must be an alchemist. What's the point of asking others? " Sharon slowly calmed down and looked at the heated discussion below. Suddenly, a cold glint flashed in his eyes.
Two minutes later, the price reached ten thousand. But Dumartin was no longer the bidder. Only Leona and Shildeen were left.
Now, Shildeen was the one with the highest bid. He said coldly, "Leona, you are quite close to Flora. If you want to get your hands on an alchemy illusion, why are you competing with me?"
Shildeen was right, but Leona didn't think so. Last time, she asked Flora to help her buy Glutton Flower Lord Essence from Angor at a price that was close to "dust".
She had earned a lot of money, and she couldn't help but feel guilty when she thought about the price she paid to Angor. Back then, Angor hadn't made a name for himself in the alchemy world yet, so she ignored him. Who knew that Angor would rise so quickly in just three years?
Leona didn't think that Angor would forgive her for what she did. This was why she decided to bid for the item instead of going to Angor directly.
The two of them were still bidding, but at this moment, the rhythm of the Apprentice Adepts below them changed.
