"Such a music box with such a realistic illusion is only auctioned at 150 magic crystals. No wonder the auctioneer doesn't want to sell it."
"But the price is already over 10,000. It's not an insult to the maker."
Everyone's attention returned to the item's price. After witnessing the miraculous illusion, everyone's eyes were filled with excitement.
Before Theron could announce the start of the auction, someone already made a bid.
"13000 magic crystals!" It was Leona who made the bid. She raised the price to an astonishing level. Shildeen glared at Leona with anger in his eyes.
"14000 Magic Crystals." Shildeen didn't back down and immediately pressed forward.
Leona chuckled coldly and raised the price even higher.
"20000 magic crystals," Sumesh suddenly called out a price. "I'll give you 20000 magic crystals."
The sudden increase of 6000 crystals caused a huge uproar in the auction hall. Even Theron couldn't help but look at Sumesh's direction. That's a new record for the first half of a month's auction!
David, who had been furious at first, was also stunned at this moment. He was planning to sell the item at the same price as the Land on the Cloud — 8,100 crystals, which was already the limit for alchemy illusions. But now, the price had reached 20,000 crystals! Even if he split the price, he would still get 2,000 crystals!
David's heart was beating very fast, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.
Shildeen, who was still bidding, suddenly stopped. "Mister Sumesh, you're from the same school as Angor. You have plenty of chances to get your hands on alchemy illusions. Why are you competing with me?"
Leona agreed with Shildeen's words. However, Sumesh only smiled. "I'll buy it if I like it. I can afford it anyway."
Shildeen's eyes were filled with anger. "You're trying to stop me from becoming stronger!"
Once Shildeen's words came out, everyone was once again stunned. It's just a music box. What's with that?
Everyone was puzzled by this sentence and wanted an explanation. But Shildeen didn't say anything else and continued to make his offer.
On the other side, in a fragrant VIP room.
"I don't know if Shildeen let it slip or if he said it on purpose," Leona muttered.
"Why aren't you bidding? Aren't you going to bid? "Tong Witch leaned over in confusion.
Leona pondered and said, "Soon, the inside story Shildeen just exposed will be known by others. I don't think there's a chance for me to film it again. Forget it, let's not bid for the time being. Let's see if the final price exceeds the price I have in mind. "
Tong Witch asked, "What's your ideal price?"
"A hundred thousand magic crystals." "If someone offers a higher price, I'll … I'll put aside my pride and wait for Angor to return to Brute Cavern so that we can mend our relationship."
"I don't think anyone will pay that much. It's just a music box. Even if it helped Greya, it won't help the others." Tong Witch was surprised. A hundred thousand magic crystals was an unimaginable amount for someone like her who had just become a wizard.
Leona shook her head. "I don't think so. For those who are stuck outside the path of truth, they're willing to spend all their savings even if they know the odds are against them. After all, it's not hard for a wizard who can earn a hundred thousand magic crystals to do so again."
Tong Witch still couldn't believe it. But she quickly looked outside the room.
"A hundred thousand!"
Someone really did pay that much! And the price jumped from thirty thousand to a hundred thousand!
For the apprentices who usually only participated in the monthly auction, they felt that today's auction was crazy. The first three auction items in history were usually worth a few dozen magic crystals, or two to three hundred magic crystals at most. Today, there was a six-figure auction item!
And that wasn't the end of it.
As more and more people learned that Greya's creation had something to do with Angor's alchemy illusion, the price of the item kept rising. Before Theron could bid, the price had already reached a hundred and fifty thousand.
Madelyne, Duncan, and Dumartin all gave up when the price went past ten thousand.
Leona felt that it was too much and gave up.
Sumesh was only interested in the item for fun. He believed that Angor could easily get his hands on an alchemy illusion when he came back, so he gave up as well.
Shildeen was the only one who still insisted. But when the price reached a hundred and forty thousand, he gave up. He sat quietly in his VIP room with anger burning in his eyes.
However, Shildeen soon calmed down. He knew he could not hide the fact that Greya created a new spell. Even if he did not tell, the apprentices of Brute Cavern would soon find out about it, so he might as well tell the truth himself. Even if he couldn't win the item, he could still use his words to increase the price. Maybe he could get another chance to make a music box from Angor in the future.
But Shildeen didn't give up completely. His eyes slowly darkened. Even if he couldn't win the bidding war, he still had other options.
The highest bidder was no longer someone from Brute Cavern. It was Leon from Moxa Westland.
He came here for the Happy Bears and didn't expect to see a music box today. He liked the music box, but he didn't want to join the bidding war. However, after Greya's creation was exposed, Leon couldn't sit still anymore.
When Leon announced the price of one hundred and sixty thousand, the number of people in the room finally dwindled.
Although many wizards wanted to bid for it and had the resources to do so, they didn't make a move. Instead, they were thinking about something else. They heard that Angor was only an apprentice. Even if they had to pay him a lot of money, it shouldn't be more than one hundred and sixty thousand, right?
They could tell that the materials used to make the music box weren't very valuable. Since the price of raw materials was low, Angor could earn several times more if they paid him ten thousand magic crystals. If they offered him a hundred thousand crystals, Angor wouldn't refuse such a great offer, would he?
Therefore, the person who harbored such thoughts didn't bid again.
After a moment of silence, Leon thought he had a good chance of winning the item, and so did the others. However, when Theron asked if anyone else wanted to bid, another voice called out.
"Two hundred thousand," said Jellal from VIP Room No.7.
Leon didn't know what to say after Jellal's bid. No one else offered a higher price.
Jellal was like an oriole waiting to catch its prey. He waited patiently for everyone to state their minimum price, and then he took the lead with the highest price.
When Theron announced that Jellal had won the music box, the crowd went into a heated discussion. Some people looked at Jellal's VIP room, while others looked at David.
Just this one auction item had allowed an apprentice to earn 200,000 magical crystals. It was too terrifying.
Many people began to look at David with malicious intentions.
Originally, David was also immersed in the joy of being able to get close to twenty thousand, but the malicious gazes around him were too strong, causing him to suddenly panic. Only then did he remember his situation … Previously, he had angered the Ancient Era's Auction House, and now, he was being eyed covetously by everyone. He felt as if he had fallen into a vortex of evil. Not to mention getting a share, even leaving safely was a problem.
Leona suddenly spoke to David while he was still trying to figure out what to do. "You're an employee from Prome's Alchemy Shop, right?"
David came back to his senses and nodded helplessly.
"Angor's alchemy illusion is amazing, but so is the music he wrote. Especially the Fold Part. It's so catchy. I can still hum it even now. Do you know the name of that song just now? "
Theron, who was about to skip this part and move on to the fourth item, stopped talking and looked at David curiously.
Leona wasn't the only one who wanted to know. Some of the supernaturals who were interested in art were also curious.
David scratched his head. "Angor didn't tell me. He only said that he wrote the song for the girl in his illusion."
Most people in the auction hall knew that.
There weren't many pure and kind things in the wizarding world, but they could still appreciate the beauty of pure kindness. The girl was the embodiment of pure kindness. As for the music, it completely revolved around the young girl, so it must have been composed for her.
"Maybe she's Angor's lover?"
"That's possible. But who's Angor's lover?"
David quickly changed the topic. "I don't know if she's Angor's lover. But Angor once told me that the girl's name is … Alice."
"A piano piece for Alice, huh? I see, "Leona said in a small voice.
At this time, Theron was also planning to start the auction for the next item. Although he knew that with the jade in front of him, the following items were really just scrap metal in comparison, but there was no other way. One wrong step would lead to everything going wrong.
Theron sighed inwardly, "The fourth auction item is from the Country of Wind …"
Before Theron could finish, he noticed a commotion in the hall. Many people began to leave. Most of them were from Brute Cavern, and their leader was … Sumesh!
Theron's heart skipped a beat. They're not leaving, are they?
Theron's guess was correct. The wizards from Brute Cavern all left the auction hall, and half of the VIP rooms were gone.
The fact that the VIP room was almost empty almost instantly reached Sharon's ears.
Sharon, who had just calmed down, felt like vomiting blood. He had already left the auction hall, but the people from Brute Cavern were still trying to slap him.
However, not everyone from Brute Cavern left. Leona was still with Tong Wu.
"Aren't you leaving with Mister Sumesh?" Tong Witch asked.
Leona shook her head and glanced at David. "I was just looking for a way to get along with Angor. Didn't think I'd get one now."
Tong Witch was surprised. "You're going to do him a favor so you can build a good relationship with Angor?"
"No, I'm not doing him a favor. I'm paying him back for telling me the name of his music." Leona knew that Angor might not like her if she did him a favor. It was better to pay him back.
"But he didn't tell you his name."
"That's not important. I have a reason to pay him back. Moreover, that kid's performance today was quite clever. I believe that once I say it, he should understand what I mean. "
