Twilight faintly said: “The auction isn’t even one-third over yet. Why do you worry so much Lady Red Lotus?”
Lydia sneered as she said: “I just don’t want to waste any more of my time.”
This small incident didn’t affect the interest of others. The following items in the auction were still presented in an orderly fashion.
Because of the fight with Flora, Angel was a little depressed and didn’t pay attention much to the following items until there was noise on the lower floor. At this point, Angel then looked up.
“The source of Deep Blue Bloodline is unknown, and the origin is unknown. According to the seller, this is a peculiar creature from a strange plane that extends to the Eastern Region. However, the Eastern Region is separated by a countless distance of s.p.a.ce-time from our Southern Region. So our appraisers will not comment on this auction item and will only give details for reference.” Twilight explained.
“We haven’t had this bloodline for such a long time. Judging based on the results of our current a.n.a.lysis, there is a possibility this bloodline will mutate into the Sage Body. It is well known what a Sage Body means for a wizard. The starting price is 1,000 magic crystals. Interested parties can increase the price by no less than 100 magic crystals at a time.” After Twilight had introduced the bloodline, she knocked on the hammer to signal that the auction bids should begin.
But after the sound of the hammer dropping, the auction bids were cold. For a long time, no one has raised a bid price. Twilight stood on the auction table, looking at the scene in silence, which also made her feel embarra.s.sed.
Angel saw the moment of silence at the scene, and there was some confusion in his heart.
The Sage Body is a very special physique. Conceptually, it is similar to Angel’s Nightmare Soul, but its effect is increasing the all-round logical thinking ability of a wizard. People with the Sage Body may also awaken the talent, “Sage Time.”
Sage Time is definitely a talent against the Heavens, even comparable to a law.
However, with such a bloodline, no one dares offer an opening bid for a long time? Angel wondered why.
Most importantly, such a bloodline has a starting price of only 1,000 magic crystals? Angel still remembers when Nisi tried to coax him into injecting the succubus bloodline. He believed Nisi when he swore that succubus bloodline had to be at least tens of thousands of magic crystals when being put into auction.
Is a low-grade bloodline more valuable than a bloodline that may awaken a divine const.i.tution? Angel thought.
He might as well asks if he doesn’t know. Angel voiced to Promi the doubts in his mind as he whispered to him in a low voice.
After hearing his question, Promi directly said to Angel: “Although I don’t know much about Deep Blue Bloodline, I do know why everyone doesn’t offer a bid. In fact, there are numerous reasons. I’ll give you a brief account of the main ones. First, there is an inherent risk when injecting any bloodline and we can reduce these risks through various methods for the known bloodlines. The Blood Branch wizards also have special secret methods to do so as well. Even to the point of reducing the risk of bloodline fusion failure rate to zero. But Deep Blue Bloodline is an unknown bloodline, and no one knows what method can be used to reduce the risk of injecting this bloodline.”
“Second, the Deep Blue Bloodline gives a great possibility, saying there is a chance it will mutate into the Sage Body. But a True Wizard will never believe the odds. Even with a success rate of 99.9%, the wizard will only pay attention to that 0.1% failure rate. Not to mention this kind of hearsay mutation with an extremely low probability.”
“There are other reasons, but these two points alone are enough to put Deep Blue Bloodline into limbo. So it is normal no one is willing to offer up a bid.” Promi said.
“But 1,000 magic crystals isn’t an expensive price to pay. It is rather on the cheap side to buy this bloodline for experimentation purposes.” Angel whispered to himself: “When compared to this bloodline, the succubus bloodline is worth tens of thousands of magic crystals.”
“Succubus bloodline… These are one of the dream bloodlines for witches. It’s normal for it to sell for tens of thousands of magic crystals.” David sat beside Angel and heard him talking to himself. He continued and said: “You know, women are better at earning money. A few years ago, I saw a magazine called Mystery of Witches. There was an anecdote about someone extracting smelly seminal vesicles from the gonads of the filthy slug in the Abyss Plane. They then diluted this extraction a thousand times with holy water. After, this stinky seminal vesicle will give off a strange fragrance, do you know what this fragrance is called?”
David did not expect Angel to answer as he said rhetorically: “This is the notorious Honey Rose Perfume. No matter how beautiful the name is, it can’t hide the filth as its source. Moreover, the predecessor to Honey Rose Perfume is Salomon Perfume!”
“Women are crazy and dare use these things extracted from those places.” David shuddered as he gave a sigh.
Angel’s expression became slightly unnatural. Although he also feels that Honey Rose Perfume is a bit disturbing, he is unqualified to comment. Because he has also betrayed his body and sold his body odour…
“The path of wizards is a long journey. So it’s not bad to have more interesting walks on this lonely path, ah ha ha ha.” Angel ended the conversation in a hurry with a funny laugh.
Deep Blue bloodline has never been asked for and just when Twilight was about to feel embarra.s.sed by auctioning off this Bloodline. The screen in front of her changed.
“Someone has placed a bid of 1,000 magic crystals! The bidder is from the Out-House area. Now let the countdown begin. If no one offers a higher bid price, then this bloodline will be obtained by Out-House No. 13769!” Twilight exclaimed.
Twilight doesn’t care whether bids are from the In-House or Out-House area. As long as someone wants it, it will resolve her feeling of embarra.s.sment.
After the ten-second countdown, no one raised the bid price, and the Deep Blue Bloodline went to the Out-House bidder.
At the same time, in the corner of the Out-House area—.
A woman with a black robe on her upper body and a strange b.u.t.terfly dagger on her waist leaned against the wall and puffed out some smoke. When she saw Twilight announcing the results on the big screen, she turned to the teenager beside her and said: “Deep Blue Bloodline sounds very tempting. But the In-House area hasn’t offered a bid for a long time. There should be an inside story for this. If you bid so hastily, you won’t know whether the results will be good or bad.” The black-robed woman said.
“Anyway, I picked up this Prayer Moonstone for free, which is useless to me. To be able to exchange this for a bloodline is almost equal to giving it away for nothing. And…” The whole body of the young wizard apprentice under the white sheet robed was quivering at this time. Only when his hands held onto the thick cover of the large book, did he find comfort. This is the first time he has completed such a large transaction. Being able to speak without stuttering is already a sign of self-control.
“And Old Book said that if I could gain a Sage Body, it would be possible for me to turn it into a spirit. This is my only chance. I have to at least fight once for it.” The white-robed apprentice said.
The teenager smiled at the woman and said: “I have learned a lot from your excellency in this past few months. I also want to fight for my own goal, even if I know I will die.”
Speaking of this, the teenager looked sadly at the woman’s right arm, which was covered by the black robe: “I am a big man. If I don’t even have courage, how can I continue walking on this path?”
“Oh, big man? You, like Angel, are all still young farting children in my eyes.” The woman holding the long-handled pipe was silent for a while before saying: “I hope you can succeed. When this auction is over, I will go back to the organization and continue climbing the tower. By the way, ask your mentor how to avoid the risk of Deep Blue Bloodline.”
At this time, the woman changed from a leaning position to a standing position. A gust of wind blows, the woman’s black robe slowly floats up, and the right arm position was empty. There was nothing.
……
After the Deep Blue Bloodline auction, there was nothing which took the spotlight from the succeeding items.
Lydia has been humming coldly many times. Even Flora has begun to follow suit with her, and Twilight’s calm expression was also faintly cracking.
During this period, Angel finally made a bid and won one thing: A set of 15 pieces of Chaotic Drum Beast Leather Paper tanned by Log Workshop Tanning. This is a kind of leather paper that can bear magic arrays but does not produce an effect. It is the best leather paper used by enchantment alchemy wizards to practice depicting magic patterns.
The original price was only 500 magic crystals, but Angel spent 700 magic crystals to win the bid. The reason for this is that Flora in room No. 187 is making counterbids. Even if she doesn’t want to buy it, she still feels the need to make him pay by deliberately raising the price of the items he bids for.
When Twilight finally called the end of the bid, Angel couldn’t help covering his face and crying as he wondered:
Don’t we worship the same teacher? Why instead of love are we killing each other…?
At the 100th auction item, when Twilight received news from the backstage, she smiled and said: “The next auction item is very special and novel. It can even be called a work of art.”
“Work of art? Although some wizard loves this kind of thing. How did it come into the Wizard Plane auction?” A wizard asked as they frowned.
“Is it possible this item is some masterpiece legacy left behind by a wizard?” Another wizard speculated.
Twilight smiled but did not answer this speculation. Instead, she looked up at the Gold Card private room on the third floor and said: “I remember hearing somewhere that Lady Red Lotus likes music very much and often goes to mortal theatres to listen to music. Then you may like this item.”
Lydia’s voice came from the private room: “Oh, is that so? I do like music, but not the common and vulgar sounds. You know, even if I head to mortal theatres and listen to songs. You should also know the mortal theatres left as seas of blood aren’t in the minority.”
Twilight laughed with a faint smile and said: “Listen to it and you’ll know.”
The lights dimmed during the auction item transfer. When the auction item was finished transferring from the back to the foreground, a beam of light came down from the top and shone on the new auction item…
When everyone clearly saw what the object looked like, they were all amazed and exclaimed: “The design of this item is so wonderful. It is no wonder Lord Twilight called this item a work of art!”
“100th Auction Piece—On Cloud 6!” Twilight pointed to the item on stage and said: “This is an extremely special item in today’s auction. If I don’t say its function and efficacy, I don’t think any of you can guess what it does at all.”
The entire In-House area is surrounded by a layer of magic prohibition which prevents wizards from releasing their mental force and magic power to spy on others.
Therefore, all the people present here can only guess the efficacy of the auction item by relying on their eyesight.
“I vaguely sense the power of tranquillity.” A wizard said.
“Perhaps it’s a water system based alchemy item.” A wizard saw the shape of the waves and secretly speculated.
“But didn’t Lord Twilight mention ‘music’ earlier? I think this is a sound system weapon.” Another wizard inferred from the conversation between Twilight and Lydia.
After a long time, Twilight saw the crowd has thoroughly whetted their appet.i.tes. Then she smiled and introduced: “This is a music box.”
With her introduction, all the people at the bottom area frowned. They couldn’t help thinking of an inferior item produced with the harsh sounds of metal colliding. Apart from the mortal aristocracy who pursues the elegance of art, which wizard would like such a music box?
“However, this isn’t an ordinary music box. But an advanced cla.s.s music box.” Twilight explained.
