"There will be a rather significant auction in Silver Moon City next month," Vernon said.
Herag asked, "Is there a Key of Rules?"
"No news on the Key of Rules for now, but there is sothing else you might be interested in, the ssenger Ceremony," Vernon replied.
"The ssenger Ceremony? Then it’s worth checking out," Herag said.
Herag had long been envious of the Cheqi Family’s ssenger, a thing capable of transmitting ssages and sending items across space.
So ssengers can even cross planes if you know the coordinates.
However, such ssengers are rare, and very few possess such a ssenger.
The Cheqi Family’s ssenger can only cross space within the Wizard Plane, lacking the ability to cross planes.
ssengers are usually contracted through the ssenger Ceremony.
The ssenger Ceremony allows you to sign ssenger contracts with existences from countless planes, all of whom have the capability to beco ssengers.
So ssengers might be remarkably powerful, while others may be quite weak.
The capability to summon a particular type of ssenger is entirely at the whim of luck, and whether a contract can be signed depends on the other party’s willingness, which cannot be forced.
When Herag previously asked Vernon to keep an eye out for the Key of Rules, he also casually ntioned this, never expecting to actually hear sothing related to ssengers.
This option is often more convenient than communicating with one’s followers, easier in daily use.
The follower’s path requires the other party to beco one’s follower, a condition that makes this thod suitable only for communicating with Reese and Asuna.
Herag could never ntion follower-related matters to those he doesn’t trust, nor would unfamiliar people irrationally start worshiping so god; others would only think you’re insane.
However, ssengers perfectly solve this issue; a cost is paid, and it can directly be sent over.
After learning about the ssenger Ceremony, Herag found himself sowhat intrigued.
He now has an account balance of 1.2 million Magic Stones, with an additional 150,000 Magic Stones in the Space Ring.
These 150,000 Magic Stones ca from del’s Space Ring, though they’ve been checked without any problems, Herag still feels reluctant to use them unnecessarily.
If these Magic Stones have so imperceptible marking, using them would spell trouble.
Herag isn’t short of Magic Stones at the mont, so there’s no need to add extra trouble for himself.
Recently, a steady influx of Magic Stones has arrived, all from dividends from the Nightingale Comrce Association.
Despite having so many Magic Stones in his account balance, Herag cannot feel happy.
In the past, he would have been overjoyed, but now he feels rather conflicted deep inside.
If the Abyss descends, even an abundance of Magic Stones would be useless.
Herag could only convert these Magic Stones as much as possible into effective resources, rather than cold numbers in the Talisman Stones.
...
A month later.
This auction is jointly organized by major comrce associations, held at a main hall in Silver Moon City, chosen through Vernon’s intentional promotion, located toward the southern side of Silver Moon City’s center.
Herag stepped down from his carriage in ceremonial attire, assisting Reese, who also wore splendid clothes.
As soon as he alighted, many people approached to greet him.
Currently, Herag is no longer the newcor Junior Wizard in Silver Moon City, without any background. Becoming a Level 2 Wizard, sheer power alone has earned him considerable attention.
Moreover, with the Nightingale Comrce Association’s Magic Potion business flourishing, Herag’s fa has grown alongside these Magic Potions’ market penetration.
Now, business in the Barren Land is expanding, while the Cheqi Family commits themselves wholeheartedly to the partnership.
Herag hasn’t ddled much in these affairs, rely occasionally observing the situation.
Reese takes charge of these matters, currently encountering no issues.
The trade route between the Cheqi Family and the Nightingale Comrce Association successfully established after so ti, despite so initial hiccups, these were resolved eventually.
Their trade line is the first route, handling nurous other businesses aside from Magic Potion dealings.
Herag’s dividends include only those related to Magic Potions, while others are excluded.
The Cheqi Family and Nightingale Comrce Association are relishing their profits now, with the Cheqi Family’s status in the Barren Land rising rapidly, many seeking their favor.
There’s no alternative; their route enables swift trade, with many dependent on the Cheqi Family.
Herag and Reese greeted many acquaintances upon entering the main hall, ascending later to the box upstairs.
Vernon reserved Box No. 3 for him, offering a great view of the stage’s center.
The box contains only four sofas, one double-seater, luxuriously soft, and when Herag and Reese sat, they naturally leaned close together.
The auction soon began, the main hall below gradually filling with attendees.
A graceful woman ascended the stage, beginning with so opening pleasantries.
Herag recognized this woman; if he rembered correctly, she’s the manager behind Avila Restaurant, nad Rose.
He might even be Talisman Stone friends with this woman, though they rarely communicate.
Rose seems accustod to such occasions, speaking naturally, sharing so jokes to warm the atmosphere.
After chatting for a bit, she declared, "Alright, I won’t waste words further. Let the auction officially comnce, and I hope you all find the items you desire."
"The first auction item is the Ancient Giant’s Horn."
Simultaneously, a maid beside her released a Bone Horn from the Space Ring.
This horn appears made from so kind of bone, its surface dark yellow, seemingly aged.
Rose introduced: "This is a Level 2 Witchcraft Artifact, upon usage, summons a shadow of an Ancient Giant, possessing imnse power, combat capabilities nearing a Level 3 Wizard, extrely formidable. Starting bid is 50,000 Magic Stones, with each incrent no less than 10,000 Magic Stones."
"Ancient Giant..."
Herag had heard of this race, rumored to be a powerful race of the Giant Plane, with astonishing strength.
This horn likely summons a shadow of the Ancient Giant to assist in battle.
If mory serves, the Giant Plane is a High-tier World, and the source of this horn remains a mystery.
The Wizard Plane presently lacks any space pathways to the Giant Plane, equating to certain peril.
"60,000 Magic Stones!" Soone swiftly placed a bid.
Such an item appeals to many, massively enhancing their security.
Not everyone possesses Herag’s formidable combat prowess, many wizards nurtured in sheltered environnts lack extensive battle experience.
