Chapter 799 The Death Knight and the Fallen Knigh (1/2)
After the first item was sold at a high price of 62 million Life Crystals, it seemed like none of the following items was priced higher than that. A few of the ancient relics were put up for sale, but there was no saber type of weapon. Yi Zheng was not interested in the sale, let alone Lin Huang.
Everyone would expect better quality items later in the auction. The show only began especially on the last day of the auction.
Soon, the first day of the auction ended.
There was nothing appealing and it made most of the crowd sleepy. Some of them could not bear it any longer and left early.
Just as the first day of the auction was about to end, the auctioneer suddenly dropped a bombsh.e.l.l.
”The last item for sale today won't disappoint you. Many of you know that we have three secret items to be sold off on the last day of the auction. Therefore, one of the two demiG.o.d items that we initially intended to sell on the last day of the auction will be the last item for sale today!”
As the red cloth was unveiled, it revealed a long, golden scabbard which exuded a powerful aura.
Without a doubt, it was a demiG.o.d relic.
In the auction hall, everybody obsessed over it as soon as they saw the saber.
Even Yi Zheng who sat next to Lin Huang had his eyes fixed on it. ”This is the saber of legends…”
Although Lin Huang could tell that he was dying to get his hands on the saber, he was not going to lend Yi Zheng his money.
Only an imperial-level would be capable of activating a demiG.o.d relic. Yi Zheng would have no way of using it despite buying it now. He had just made it to immortal-level rank-1. Lin Huang had no idea how long Yi Zheng would have to wait until he could level up to imperial-level. Instead of buying a demiG.o.d relic, he would be better off buying equipment that he could use and training guides that were useful for him to improve his abilities.
”It's called the Dragon Slayer. Its master used to be a demon slayer who achieved imperial-level about 100 years ago. The saber was originally obtained from killing a triple mutated white gold-rank Silver-Winged Rocfiend. It was then modified and reforged with 99 sets of dragonkins' teeth and three dragonkins' vertebrae as auxiliary materials…”
On the auction stage, Yu Bo was putting a lot of effort to introduce the particular item and hype it up.
After listening to him for a while, Lin Huang then ignored him and began searching for the ”demon slayer” online. After a short while, he went through all the information about this item's previous master.
The demon slayer's original name was Jiang Yi who was an imperial-level in Division 3 more than 100 years ago. About 80 years ago, he was severely injured after he explored one of the underwater ruins in the Peaceful Ocean. Less than half a year after he returned to Division 3, he died from an incurable illness. The Dragon Slayer he owned then became his son's legacy. However, after tens of years, none of his descendants managed to break through to imperial-level. None of them could use the saber and it was then abandoned.
However, Lin Huang had no idea why the saber would appear at the auction house. Since the auctioneer dared to reveal the actual information about the saber, it had to be a legitimate item. Otherwise, they could only sell it at the underground auction instead of selling it in public.
As one of the top auction houses in Division 3, the Wanbao Auction knew the unspoken rules of the business very well and it was impossible for them to make such a silly mistake.
While Lin Huang was pondering to himself, Yu Bo who was on the auction stage had completed the introduction. ”I'll stop bulls.h.i.+tting now. Let's begin the last round of bidding!”
”Dragon Slayer! Its starting price is 20 billion Life Crystals. The price increment mustn't be less than 500 million Life Crystals each round!”
”25 billion!”
Just as the auctioneer finished his sentence, the bidder in the VIP room on the second floor placed a bid at a price that was five billion higher than the starting price.
Seeing the silver figures light up abruptly on the black screen, most of the onlookers at the auction house were surprised.
”He increased the price by five billion without thinking twice… I can't even spare 50 Life Crystals for a bowl of noodles.”
”It's great to be rich. As peasants, we wouldn't know how it feels like…”
”To the rich man on the second floor, are you looking for a son-in-law?”
…
As the black screen on the second floor lit up for less than two seconds, the black screen on the third floor lit up as well.
The figures were bigger and brighter this round, and they were golden in color.
”30 billion!!!”
The bidder on the third floor raised the price for the second time and again, it was an increment of five billion. The bidding price had immediately risen up to 30 billion.
At the auction house, everybody appeared stunned. n.o.body would expect such an aggressive bid for the second time!
”To the rich man on the third floor, are you looking for a son-in-law? Or do you need a houseboy? I'm an excellent bedwarmer!”
Seeing the one who said this was a muscular man who was more than two meters tall, the crowd gagged.
Yi Zheng, who was in VIP room No. 2 on the third floor, was shocked as well.
”Why are the pros in Division 3 so rich? I used to think that I was wealthy enough with hundreds of millions of Life Crystals.”
”You aren't considered rich with hundreds of millions of Life Crystals.” Lin Huang laughed, shaking his head. ”The cheapest ancient relic costs tens of millions of Life Crystals. Those on white gold-rank basically cost at least hundreds of millions. As for those on purple gold-rank, the starting price is at least 200 million. Not forgetting the telekinetic weapons whereby the lowest ranking is on black gold-rank and costs at least 100 million. You aren't even qualified to bid for the purple gold-rank telekinetic weapon if you don't have at least two billion Life Crystals. The price of the demiG.o.d relic is even higher. Any of them will start from 10 billion Life Crystals. If they're of really premium quality, they don't accept Life Crystals but Divine Stones instead.”
”Divine Stones?” Yi Zheng had just arrived at Division 3 and it was his first time coming across this term.
”A Divine Stone is a rare ore that comes with G.o.d's energy. A Divine Stone is equivalent to 100 million Life Crystals. However, almost none of them will exchange Divine Stones for Life Crystals. The G.o.d's energy within the Divine Stone can be absorbed by demiG.o.ds. This is a high-ranking currency only used by the demiG.o.ds to trade.”
Lin Huang heard the information regarding the Divine Stone from Mr. Fu who had casually mentioned it and he could remember it up until that day.
On the auction stage, the price of the Dragon Slayer had increased to 38 billion. The number of bidders had increased from two to five as well. Each time, the increment of price would either be 500 million or a billion.
Among the five bidders, three of them were Supreme members on the third floor whereas the other two were members on the second floor. None of the people in the auction hall had placed any bids and they were just sitting there, watching what was going to happen next.
It was not strange though since only an imperial-level was capable of activating a demiG.o.d relic. The strongest person in the auction hall was only on immortal-level rank-7.
The bidding lasted for more than ten minutes and the Dragon Slayer was finally sold to somebody else.
”The member in No. S4 VIP room bid 43 billion Crystals!”
”43 billion going once!”
”43 billion going twice!”
”Anyone wants to place another bid? Otherwise, you might not have the chance anymore!”
”Alright, 43 billion going thrice!”
”Sold!”
”43 billion…” Yi Zheng was so envious of him.
Lin Huang then thought to himself, ”If the saber can be sold at 43 billion, I guess I can sell mine at 55 billion and above.”
The first day of auction then ended. Lin Huang and Yi Zheng went back to the hotel empty-handed.
After having their dinner, just as Lin Huang and Yi Zheng were about to walk around the night market, Kylie's card suddenly vibrated in his body.
”I just thought of something else I have to deal with. You go first and I'll meet you at the night market after getting my things done.”
After sending Yi Zheng off, Lin Huang went back to his room and summoned Kylie. ”What happened?”
”The two dark knights that you placed in my mini world have completed the evolution and awoken the bloodline.”
