The auction ended in an awkward atmosphere.
The auctioneer did not give Dave a hard time. After deducting the middleman's fee, they gave him about 190,000 magic crystals. Although he had passed the auction house, David did not feel any joy in his heart.
Before he left the triangular auction hall, he had seen more than one malicious look on the faces of people around him. Especially when he was just an apprentice who had so many magic crystals that most wizards could not afford in a short period of time. In other people's eyes, Dave's expression was as if he was saying, "I'm a weakling.
Even the weakest apprentices began to sharpen their weapons. To them, even a small piece of the treasure was worth more than what they had worked for for decades.
In this vicious vortex, the only thing David could do was to take out his Tang Saber, which was emitting a cold aura. He wanted to use the advantage of his weapon to intimidate the people around him.
However, he was too weak. Even with a sharp weapon, he was no different from a baby holding a kitchen knife.
Theron was standing on the fourth floor of the auction hall and watching Dave's trembling body.
A red-robed demon servant crouched on the ground and made a throat-slitting gesture. "Mister Theron, should we —"
Theron pondered for a moment and shook his head. "Forget it. Even though he's just an apprentice, from what he said just now, I can tell that he has a close relationship with that alchemist. Otherwise, that alchemist wouldn't have given him the alchemy illusion for auction."
Besides, the wizards from Brute Cavern are not stupid. Didn't you notice that Leona is staying here? "
The red-robed demon servant was confused. "You're saying that Leona decided to protect the kid?"
"That's right. The other wizards already knew that Leona was trying to help him. Otherwise, why do you think they retreated so generously and didn't care about this focus card? " With that, Theron turned around and left. "Forget about him. Today's auction did a lot of damage to us. If we want to save our reputation, we need to do something at the big auction at the beginning of the year. Looks like it's time to show off something really good. "
Theron went straight to Sharon, who was sitting in a dark soundproof room. His expression looked normal, but there was an undeniable anger in his eyes.
"Patriarch, today's matter is a foregone conclusion, but it's not like there's no way to remedy it," Silun said respectfully.
"Tell me about it." Sharon's tone was still slightly suppressed.
"First of all, we can do something in the auction. Also, we didn't really offend him today, so we can learn something from him. Furthermore, these two solutions can be combined into one. "
"You're saying there's an alchemy item in the auction?" Sharon asked.
"That's right."
"But where can I get this item?"
Theron said, "As long as there are suitable benefits, even if they're our enemies, we can make them our closest friends. It would not be a loss for us to pay a price to establish a good relationship with a supernova that was destined to shine brilliantly. Why was the Sky Auction so successful? It's all because of those master alchemists. And Angor has such potential. "
Sharon thought about it for a moment. Although he was a little angry about what happened today, he had to admit that Theron was right.
"Then do as you wish." Sharon nodded and agreed to Theron's suggestion.
Theron nodded with a confident look on his face. What he did not know was that Angor had already left Fey Continent, and he had no plans to return anytime soon.
On the other side, when they saw Dave alone, they became even more hostile.
Someone even approached him and spoke in a threatening tone, "Give me a thousand magic crystals, and I'll leave right away. Or … you don't want to know the consequences."
A thousand magic crystals happened to be within the range of people who did not want to rob Dave, and they would not be targeted by others. Therefore, they had already thought about how much money to extort from Dave.
Dave did not care. He knew that these people would not dare to do anything in the auction hall.
Dave knew that he was no match for these people, so he tried to think of a way to escape. The best way was to hire someone powerful to escort him away. However, there were not many trustworthy people in the wizarding world. There was none around him.
He even considered asking a wizard from the auction hall to protect him. After all, it would not be good for them if word got out that he was robbed here. However, he knew that the auction hall did not punish him for breaking the rules. If he wanted someone to protect him, he could forget about it. Besides, he did not trust the auction hall at all.
Under such circumstances, David was burning with anxiety, but he couldn't come up with any practical solutions.
At this moment, David suddenly smelled a faint fragrance. He turned his head in confusion and saw the beautiful witch with the illusion of roses floating towards him.
"You're an employee at Prome's Alchemy Shop, right?" The witch smiled at Dave.
Dave was a little surprised to see such a beautiful witch asking him a question.
But when he saw the man's face clearly, David immediately put away the infatuation on his face and stood up straight. He saw a portrait of this person on the first day he came to Brute Cavern. After joining Prome's Alchemy Shop, he heard this name many times.
It was' Rose Crown 'Leona.
In front of Leona, David didn't dare show the slightest hint of frivolity.
It was not until Leona was standing in front of him that David remembered her question.
He stammered, "Lady Leona! I-I-I'm an employee at Prome's Alchemy Shop. "
Leona nodded and looked around. All the people who were looking at her with covetous eyes lowered their heads consciously. Leona chuckled and teased, "Looks like you're in a bad situation."
Dave scratched his head in embarrassment. Suddenly, he thought of something. He did not trust other people, but Lady Leona was an alchemist from Brute Cavern. She should be trustworthy, right? However, with Leona's status, would she be willing to be hired by him?
Dave hesitated and wondered if he should ask.
But before he could say anything, Leona took the initiative and said, "Since you're trying to solve the song's name, I'll take you back. You'll need a wizard to protect you if you want to use a long-range teleportation circle, right?"
Dave could not believe what he just heard. He did not expect to be so lucky. He quickly nodded.
After he agreed, he suddenly remembered why Leona's voice sounded so familiar. It turned out that she was the sorcerer who was sitting in the VIP room at that time!
"Let's go. I'm going back to Brute Cavern anyway." Leona did not say anything else. Dave quickly followed her.
As for the surrounding people, they looked at each other in dismay. Finally, they sighed helplessly and gave up. With the protection of a wizard, it was almost impossible for them to steal magic crystals from Dave. Besides, they were planning to go back to Brute Cavern directly. Once they reached their organization, they would not be able to do anything to Dave.
Seeing that the people around him didn't dare to follow, David finally breathed a sigh of relief.
As the people with bad intentions were shaken off, doubts arose in David's heart. Why did Lady Leona help him leave? Was it because she told him the name of the song?
Obviously not. He did not know the name of the piano piece himself. Dave quickly realized that Leona's intention was not him, but Angor.
However, he did not point it out. Instead, he followed Leona in silence. It was better to keep a low profile since he was only here because of Angor.
They walked toward the teleportation array in the depth of the desert, one in front of the other.
When they arrived, they were already covered in sand. When they left, the wind did not slow down at all. In fact, it seemed to be getting stronger. They could only see a vast expanse of yellow in front of them.
The fragrance around Leona automatically shielded her from the sand. But David, who was next to her, suffered. The sand kept hitting his face, even blinding his eyes. Tears were falling down his cheeks.
Dave's vision was blurred. He thought for a moment and constructed a model in his mind space. A moment later, a thin layer of blue water membrane appeared around him to block the sand.
Leona also noticed the water membrane. She noticed that the blue membrane was like a liquid bubble. Sand poured into it and was quickly enveloped by the liquid. With the help of the surrounding wind, the sand rolled down and merged with the ground.
It looked like a Cleanse spell.
"I don't think I've seen this before. It looks like an improved version of Cleanse?" Leona asked curiously.
Leona had been quiet all the way. Her sudden question surprised Dave a little. "Yes, Lady Leona. This is a modified version of Cleanse. It's called Cleanse Water Dome. It's made by changing the arrangement of several elements … But it's not really an improvement. It doesn't have much use. It can only create a water dome to clean dirt."
"Cleanse Water Dome? That's a simple name." Leona raised her eyebrows. She was impressed by David's improved cantrip. "You've improved a cantrip that has been passed down for so many years. You've done a great job of improving it. Looks like you have a good understanding of Cleanse. "
Dave was surprised. He did not expect his random cantrip to be praised by Leona instead of being mocked.
He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but a trace of hesitation appeared on his face.
"There are fewer and fewer apprentices working on improving basic cantrips nowadays." Leona did not hesitate to praise him. "You've done well. When you become a wizard, you'll know how important it is to analyze basic cantrips. "
Dave thought for a moment and said, "You misunderstood me, Lady Leona. I didn't improve this cantrip. Angor taught it to me. He's the one who improved it."
Leona paused for a second and then shook her head. "So it's him?"
"You're right. With Mister Phantom's knowledge, he should have told Angor about it. But I didn't expect Angor to improve his alchemy skills so much in just a few years. He even analyzed basic cantrips to such a level. He's the most terrifying apprentice among the young generation. Another Phantom Master in a few years. "
Leona's impression of Dave had improved after she finished lamenting. Dave was able to resist the temptation of a wizard's favor and admit the origin of the cantrip without using other people's help. Such qualities were quite refreshing in the dirty wizarding world.
Leona gave Dave a serious look, which was rare for her. Suddenly, she noticed the alchemy weapon in Dave's hand.
"This alchemy weapon's style is very interesting. Did you craft it?" Leona asked.
Dave shook his head with a bitter expression. "Yes, I did. But Angor taught me how to make this Tang Saber …"
"I remember Angor is an enchantment magician. This Tang Saber of yours is a synthesis technique. Angor taught you how to make it, but I assume you did the rest of the research on your own?" Leona's alchemy knowledge allowed her to see through the secret behind the Tang Saber at once.
Dave nodded. "Yes. I spent a year trying to improve it."
"Can you tell me how you did it?" Leona asked.
David was a little surprised that Leona would ask him about the process, but he understood that this was an opportunity. Leona was a real alchemist, and if she could teach him, his alchemy skills would definitely improve by leaps and bounds.
So, Dave began to talk about his alchemy process, from his idea to his method, to the difficulties he faced in making the final product, and how he overcame them.
During this time, Leona did not interrupt him.
After a while, Dave finally stopped talking. First of all, they had arrived at the teleportation array. Second of all, he had nothing else to say. He had told Leona almost everything about his alchemy path. If he kept talking, he would have to make up something else.
"I can see your alchemy ideas from your story. Very good." Leona's comment was simple, but it was sincere. She did not expect this little shop assistant from Prome's Alchemy Shop to have such great alchemy skills, but she agreed with his alchemy ideas.
Dave also noticed Leona's compliment. He was pleasantly surprised.
"Keep going. If you can stick to your ideas, you'll reach your goal one day." Leona paused and continued, "If you have any questions, you can find me in the Rose Garden."
