In the main hall, the people seated around couldn’t help but draw in several breathes of cold air.
The amount of money from the bids just now was astonishing. Million to hundreds of millions. Enough money to buy massive patches of land and beco an infulencial powerhouse in even bloodrock city.
This was the amount of money these guys were throwing around for a few tons of booster powders. It was absurd.
"1 billion, that’s too much. If I had that amount"
"The true powerhouses are up there"
"I can’t even count that high....imagine having that amount"
The people in the crowd laughed with self ridicule. These guys at the vip section were just too rich.
However, they weren’t the only ones shocked by the previous bid.
"Hmp!!" Even the silver haired lady couldn’t help but get annoyed.
A bid war with one of the old monsters of the blood clans was sothing she could afford, but with the celestial rchant group?
It was akin to shooting herself in the foot.
The amount of backing these guys had was absurd, from the sacred lands, to the undergod territory, even the The celestial Palace.
Money was not a problem for these guys.
In fact there was a saying.
Never bid against a celestial rchant, they’ll Bury you in money.
"Whatever...suit yourself" the lady with silver her sneered then panned her head to the supre leader of the bloodserpent clan before turning away once again.
"1 billion going once, 1 billion going twice....sold" the king under the mountain said with enthusiasm.
The commission from selling this product would definitely be huge. He thought in his mind.
anwhile, back at Leon’s seat..he could be seen smiley bitterly as he watched the spectacle infront of him.
No one here knew this, but he did.
The whole 1 billion thing was a massive sham.
Franklin had convinced Leon to sell his product on the open market instead of here, using the celestial rchant group as a dium. With their massive outreach in the warlock community he would make an absolute killing.
After so contemplation, Leon agreed and recieved a sum of 370 million phase 1 blood gems as a down-paynt.
As for what just happened on stage? It was but a way to promote the product, the booster that went for 1 billion blood gems. It would send shock waves through blood rock city, all they needed to do was to fan the flas before slowly releasing it to the public.
It was all a publicity stunt. Franklin was a marketing genius.
"Hehe, now that was exciting. There’s much more to co for example....." The king under the mountain spoke excitedly. Bids like these could easily rile up the crowd.
So as he brought out the next items bidding was furious. Even Leon had participated in a few in cooperation with Arian and Ember who were seated below.
He still needed to maintain this fake identity so he couldn’t have them seated with him, even though they too had masks on their faces.
So the auction went on from the early hours of the night till midnight. Many items of different calibers were sold, but alas the auction had to end sooner or later.
But before it could...
"We’ve co to the end of the auction....so we would like to spice things up for the last four items" with a sly smile on his face, the king under the mountain said as from behind several trays were moved forward and dropped on the stage.
"A weapon, A herb, A spell, and An opportunity" the Auctioneer raised one of his four arms as he spoke.
The last four items were bound to be insanely unique as they would determine the success of the auction.
In fact most of the true powerhouses here ca for just these rumored items.
"First" the auctioneer pulled on the cloth covering the tray and revealed a slender sword that emmited a green splendor the likes of sparkling dust.
"7th century relic....rumoured to have belonged to the seven poison Queen, of course this is fragnted replica reforged....bid begins at 500 million"
Not waiting for them to begin bidding, he went forward to pull off the cloth over the second tray.
"Yang balance legus.....I don’t need to specify its use, just know it was gotten directly from the undergod monasterys main Garden" Unwilling to speak to those who were uninford the king under the mountain spoke sharply.
The he slowly moved to the next, then the next...both of a more terrifying background than the last.
By the end of his introduction the whole crowd was completely silent.
"Begin"
As those words left his mouth, the entire place erupted into bids from every corner.
Everyone wanted a bite of the treasures placed before them....this included Leon too.
"Unfortunate" Leon sighed. Amongst the treasures laid infront of him, one particularly peaked his interests.....it was an extention of sothing he already had.
It was an advanced version of the life devourer spell.
Yes, apparently, the supre leader of the blood serpent clan had placed on sale an advance version of his prided spell. This created an eruption in the hall, especially those in the vip section.
Even though they all had their own respective spells and domains there was a large scramble to get ahold of this version of the life devourer spell which was typically kept under wraps by the supre leader and his students.
Leon in particular wanted it badly because even though he could technically still use the spell with his Site....it wasn’t as potent as before when it ca to draining life energy.
If he could get his hands on it, it would be another massive boost to his prowess and his efforts to take Bran down.
Alas, he didn’t have enough funds for it at the end surprisingly who won was not any of the old monsters in fact it was a pulpy nobody with a fake mustache.
As for the rest, Leon didn’t care for them he could only sit back and watch the enormous trades of funds amongst these old monsters.
