"Everyone, if anyone is unwilling to accept these three rules, you can leave now. We won't stop you. But if you still want to cause trouble after the auction starts, don't blame us for being ruthless …" Arazov's voice suddenly turned cold, and a powerful aura burst forth from his body.
Feeling the pressure, Connor, who was sitting in the corner, slightly changed his expression. Judging from the pressure, Arazov was at the peak of an advanced apprentice wizard. He was only one step away from becoming an official wizard!
Arazov looked around. Seeing that no one was speaking, he nodded with satisfaction and withdrew his aura. He then said in a deep voice, "The auction starts now!"
After saying that, Arazov took out a piece of metal that was flickering with black light from his space ring and showed it to the Wizards in the hall.
"I believe everyone has already seen it. This is a piece of Savich Iron Essence refined using the alchemy techniques of Odin's Great Alchemist, Mister Savich. I believe everyone has some understanding of this thing, so I won't go into too much detail. The starting price is fifty gold pounds. Everyone can start bidding!" Arazov said.
As soon as Arazov finished speaking, a faint voice came from a corner of the hall. "One hundred gold pounds!"
Connor wasn't surprised at all when he felt the hidden gazes of the surrounding people sizing him up. When he had bid a hundred gold guineas, he had already expected this scene. At an auction, there was at least a 50% chance that alchemists would bid for alchemy materials, and the scarcity of alchemists in the Magus World naturally didn't need to be mentioned.
"One hundred gold pounds. Is there anyone who wants to bid higher?" Hearing Connor's bid, Arazov glanced at the crowd and asked.
"One hundred and thirty gold pounds!" A short and stout man wearing a green mask said in a low, muffled voice, competing with Connor.
Connor wasn't surprised to see someone competing for it. Although Savich Iron Essence wasn't a very good alchemy material, it was a very practical thing. Its hardness, toughness, and energy conductivity were all very good. In the Odin Empire, it could be bought for a hundred gold in the Kaman Empire for five hundred gold.
But as the Odin Empire was located in the northern borders of the empire, while Loen was located on the western coast of the empire, the distance between them was too great. Therefore, a piece of Savich Iron Essence sold for between 150 and 180 gold pounds in Loen's market.
"One hundred and eighty gold pounds!" Connor didn't hesitate to raise the price to the top of the reasonable range. He really wanted this piece of Savich's Iron Essence. It could be used to make many kinds of magic items.
Hearing Connor directly give such a price, the short man with the green mask who competed with Connor hesitated, but in the end, he shook his head and gave up the competition with Connor!
Arazov glanced at the crowd once again. Seeing that no one wanted to compete with Connor, he didn't waste any time and directly announced that this piece of Savich belonged to Connor.
Connor walked forward and took out 180 gold pounds from his wallet and handed it to Arazov. He then picked up the Savich Iron Essence he had bought and returned to his seat.
"Sigh …" Fiddling with the piece of Savich Iron Essence in his hand, Connor sighed inwardly. After giving Ryan six hundred gold pounds, he only had about 1100 gold pounds left in his wallet. After throwing out 100 gold pounds for living expenses, Connor only had 1000 gold pounds left to buy alchemy materials. Savich Iron Essence was good, but he didn't leave any budget for it.
Now, Connor only had about 800 gold pounds left to buy alchemy materials! This budget was enough for Connor to buy the materials he wanted, but it was very difficult.
While Connor was in a dilemma, the auction continued. The second auction item was a magic herb, Blue Poison Grass, and it was bought by someone for 200 gold pounds. The third auction item was an offensive magic spell that was suitable for fire elemental sorcerer-apprentices. Although it was a magic spell, because the magic spell's power was ordinary, it was only sold for 270 gold pounds.
Sitting in a corner and watching the auction, Connor felt that this auction was getting more and more interesting. Up until now, there were 11 auction items, including alchemy materials, magic herbs, spell books, potions, and so on. Although they weren't expensive, all within 500 gold pounds, they were all very practical items. There was no shortage of buyers. To be able to gather so many items, there was no doubt that Mr. Arazov had the support of a wizard organization.
About halfway through the auction, Mr. Arazov, who was hosting the auction, smiled and took out a black cloak from his space ring. Following the appearance of this black cloak, the dozens of wizards present at the auction all focused their attention on him.
"This is one of the highlights of this auction. It's a level 1 magic artifact, the Nightingale Cloak. If you wear this cloak, ordinary people won't be able to see you with their naked eyes. Not only that, it can also shield you from the mental probing of ordinary beginner wizard apprentices. In addition to its concealment effect, the Nightingale Cloak also has a certain degree of defense and lightweight ability. The starting price is 300 gold pounds, and each increment must not be less than 50 gold pounds!"
"If you're interested, you can spend 10 gold pounds to take a closer look at it from three steps away!" After announcing the starting price, Arazov pointed to the Nightingale Cloak floating in mid-air and changed the topic.
As soon as Arazov's voice fell, a slender lady threw ten gold pounds to Arazov and went closer to observe the Nightingale's Cloak. Seeing that someone had tasted the crab first, the rest of the wizards who were interested in the Nightingale's Cloak also threw ten gold pounds to Arazov and went closer to observe.
Seeing this situation, Connor hesitated for a moment before throwing 10 gold pounds to Arazov and moving closer. Of course, he didn't want to buy the Nightingale Cloak. He only wanted to take a closer look at the structure of the Nightingale Cloak. In any case, 10 gold pounds wasn't much.
Although he was three steps away, Connor could still clearly see that there were several veined patterns on the lining of the Nightingale Cloak. From the perspective of an alchemist, Connor could see that these veined patterns were indeed as Arazov had said. They had defensive and lightweight abilities, but the extent of their effects was relatively ordinary. If someone wanted to buy it and use it as a defensive magic artifact, they would be at a huge disadvantage!
After observing for a while, Connor returned to his seat. The 10 gold pounds he spent could be considered very well spent!
