"Four thousand Magic Stones!"
"Five thousand Magic Stones!"
The prices were called quickly, almost as soon as one price was shouted, a new price would immediately suppress it.
Currently, those calling prices were Wizards sitting in the auditorium, not a single person in the major boxes on the second floor had spoken.
Herag glanced at the four thousand-something Magic Stones in his pocket and showed a helpless smile.
His savings were still too little; these Wizards in the auditorium, who knew how many years they had been around, surely had rich family resources.
And Herag now felt like a student who had just graduated and worked for a year, his savings were too little.
Blake noticed his expression and laughed, "If you want, our Cheqi Family can help you buy it, and you can pay the remaining balance slowly, without interest."
Herag waved his hand, "Forget it, this thing will certainly be very expensive."
This item was indeed very useful, but Herag didn’t want to incur a large debt because of it.
Bidding in the auditorium continued, with the price reaching twelve thousand Magic Stones.
"Twenty thousand Magic Stones," a man’s voice came from Box Number Three, and the auditorium suddenly quieted down a lot.
"Those are people from the Moss Family," Blake explained to Herag after glancing around.
The Moss Family was also a powerful pure-blood Wizard Family, not weaker than the Cheqi Family.
Once the people from the Moss Family spoke, the auditorium quieted down a lot, and no one continued to bid.
"Dani, I quite item too, let’s each rely on our abilities, thirty-five thousand Magic Stones."
After a brief silence, a voice came from Box Number Seven, right next to Herag and his companions.
"Horace Kirk, a Level 1 Crystalization Wizard from the Kirk Family," Blake said slowly, holding a wine glass.
Herag slowly nodded, silently remembering these names.
At this level, the prices had reached a point where Wizards like him could no longer participate.
Box Number Three immediately called out, "Thirty-eight thousand Magic Stones."
Box Number Seven paused for a while, "Forty thousand Magic Stones."
Box Number Three went silent and didn’t continue bidding.
Seeing this, the host said, "So, the current price for the Blue Wing Dagger has reached forty thousand Magic Stones! Is there a higher bid?"
He looked around, and it was all quiet.
Seeing that the price probably couldn’t go any higher, the host said, "Then, forty thousand Magic Stones, going once!"
"Forty thousand Magic Stones, going twice..."
"Forty thousand Magic Stones, going three times!"
"Sold! Congratulations to the gentleman in Box Number Seven for winning the Blue Wing Dagger!"
The first auction item of the event was now considered sold, and the auditorium became lively again, with some discussing in low voices and others chatting about various recent events.
The pacing of auctions had always been slow, with a break between each completed auction item.
Soon, the second auction item was carried up by two Level 1 Wizards, it was a very thick book.
The surface of the book looked like some kind of animal fur, and the hair was still moving on its own.
The host opened with, "Ladies and gentlemen! Next, I will introduce a heavyweight auction item to you!"
The auditorium’s attention was instantly drawn, all looking at the book on the high platform.
"This is a complete Level 2 Defensive Witch Array!"
The crowd erupted again, and this time even more passionately than before.
A Level 2 Defensive Witch Array meant it could defend against the full attack of Level 2 Wizards.
This was almost an invincible Witch Array in the Barren Land, invaluable for family defense or personal protection.
"Level 2 Defensive Witch Array! Starting bid at thirty thousand Magic Stones! Each increment must not be less than one thousand Magic Stones!" the host shouted passionately.
However, the response in the auditorium was tepid, with no one bidding.
For most independent Wizards, this thing was too extravagant and not very useful.
It was only of considerable value to those Wizard Families or Wizard Organizations. For origınal chapters go to 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩~𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖~𝙣𝙚𝙩
Independent Wizards mostly consisted of one or two partners and children, and could just run in case of trouble, making a Witch Array a bit unaffordable.
The second floor was also relatively calm, because most Wizard Families already had Witch Arrays protecting key locations.
For example, the Cheqi Family’s Black Rock Valley also had a Level 2 Witch Array, which could even temporarily resist an attack from a Level 3 Wizard.
After a brief silence, a voice came from Box Number Three, "Thirty-one thousand Magic Stones."
"Thirty-five thousand Magic Stones."
Herag turned around, surprised to hear that it was Blake who spoke.
"Blake! Isn’t the Witch Array at your Black Rock Valley strong enough? Why compete with me for this!" the person in Box Number Three said somewhat discontentedly.
Blake explained, "Our Cheqi Family has many Magic Potion Garden bases, currently only Black Rock Valley is protected by a Witch Array, this Level 2 Witch Array is very useful to us."
After his explanation, the person in Box Number Three had nothing more to say but raised the bid again, "Forty thousand Magic Stones!"
The Cheqi Family had many Magic Potion Gardens, with many Alchemists, Herag was just one of them.
"Forty-five thousand Magic Stones," Blake said calmly.
Box Number Three continued to follow with, "Forty-eight thousand Magic Stones!"
Blake didn’t hesitate, determined to win this set of Witch Array, "Fifty thousand Magic Stones!"
"Fifty-three thousand Magic Stones!" The Moss Family seemed very interested in this set of Witch Array, persistently following the price.
"Sixty thousand Magic Stones," Blake directly raised the price to sixty thousand, with an expression of ease, as if money wasn’t money at all.
The Moss Family fell silent for a while, and Box Number Three made no more sounds.
The host, seeing this, was about to speak when a voice came from Box Number Three again, "Seventy thousand Magic Stones!"
"Eighty thousand Magic Stones," Blake unhesitatingly suppressed the price.
The Cheqi Family was renowned for their wealth and generosity, and Blake demonstrated this perfectly.
Some on the scene gasped, not that they hadn’t seen bids of eighty thousand Magic Stones, but Blake’s lack of hesitation was rare.
That silenced Box Number Three completely, eighty thousand Magic Stones seemed to be their limit for this auction item.
"So, this Level 2 Defensive Witch Array has reached eighty thousand Magic Stones! Is there anyone with a higher bid?"
The host looked around, and there was no response.
"Level 2 Defensive Witch Array, eighty thousand Magic Stones, going once!"
"Eighty thousand Magic Stones, going twice!"
"Eighty thousand Magic Stones, going three times!"
"Sold! Congratulations to the gentleman in Box Number Six for acquiring the Level 2 Defensive Witch Array!"
A round of applause broke out on the scene, all congratulating the people in Box Number Six on their successful bid.
Soon, this Level 2 Defensive Witch Array was delivered, and Blake directly accepted it.
He naturally didn’t need to pay on the spot, he could directly use the Cheqi Family’s account, and since the family was behind him, it was impossible for him to run away; the Cheqi Family was one of the stakeholders in the auction.
