15 Water spirit and a Woman in the box (1/2)
Don sat with his eyes closed in meditation after confirming that Minister Brian hadn't arrived yet, without noticing the people in the public area around him. This auction looked similar to a beehive of people. If he didn't want to personally see Minister Brian he wouldn't have traveled or participated in the auction. Don knew getting near Minister Brian without gaining some information about his guards would be far too difficult!
”Honored guests of the Windsville city, you have waited long enough! The Thousand Arms Auction will begin now!”
The curtain slowly began to rise to see at the very center of the auction stage, a beautiful and flirtatious woman standing.
Don could see that at the center of the auction site, a woman was wearing a milky white dress standing there. She was gentle and beautiful, with skin like milk and a perfectly structured body. She had a playful look in the eyes that attracted the hearts of men.
Overall, she was incredibly beautiful. Moreover, what was the distinctive feature of the woman was two white fluffy bunny ears. She was a member of the demi-human race.
At the center of the auction stage, there was also a magic array disc floating in the air. It would project an image of the auction items so that everyone could able to see them.
”Look like some royal family members also came to participate” Uncle Dior pointed to the VIP area to Don. They were all extremely well dressed and one could see the magical runes on the superior quality robes and these people were all seated at the uppermost, reserved seats.
While Don was searching for Minister Brian, he looked over a group of people sitting in the reserved section. The man sitting with a woman on his lap was a fat ugly man which remembered Don the statue in the market square, Minister Brian, finally Don found him as for the others stood behind him Don knew they were his guards.
The group had three women, one with black hair in a red dress, silver hair in green dress and a dark black hair with the bow in her hands and two look-alike men who wore a full chest plate and chainmail.
All around Don, the people were constantly talking and discussing all of the exciting events that were recently occurring in the empire as some of them pointing at their fingers in the direction of the auction stage and talking excitedly.
”That is the Everlasting sect's core disciple Whitehoney Amara. I didn't think she would be the auctioneer.” From their conversation, Don guessed the Everlasting sect was some kind of big power in the empire, he met many disciples and sect's while he was on the divine continent so he knew how dangerous and powerful they are so he didn't want to mess with them at least not yet.
”She is so… wow, I heard that Whitehoney Amara's talent is extremely high, not inferior to the three prodigies of Cold Moon Mansion. Countless suitors are chasing after her. With her auctioning, those rich young elites will crazily kick up the price in their burning desire to please her!”
Don now found the reason to see so many noble youths in this backwater city. ”They would be so brainless if they pay too much for impressing some random beauty”
Don sat down, keeping his heart and mind calm and clear, planning how to deal with Brian's guards. At this time, the first auction item was placed on the stage.
For every auction in the Divine continent, where Don came from, the best items would naturally be placed at the end. But, the very first item would be of high quality too, with value no lower than those that would come at the end. This was to rouse the good mood of the guests and to bring a grand opening to the event but here this didn't seem to be the case.
Whitehoney Amara patted the box near her and gently smiled. She said in a clear and flirtatious voice,
”Thank you, distinguished guests, for your support. In this Thousand Arms WindsvilleCity Auction, there are over 30,000 guests present. This is the first auction item for this magnificent auction! What could it be? Not even I know!”
Just like her name, Whitehoney Amara's voice was just as sweet as honey, making many youth's hearts beat faster. She was skilled at stirring the mood of many young elites. Many people in the public area shouted, asking her to immediately open the box and start the auction.
”The first item up for auction is…” As Whitehoney Amara spoke, she slowly opened the box, revealing the finest looking blue magic crystal. Through the projection of a magic array disc, one could clearly make out every single inch and texture of the crystal.
And beside this magic crystal was a card. Whitehoney Amara picked up the card and looked over it. She looked at the card for a moment and said, ”The first item for auction water spirit crystal! Hehe, so it was something like this! I know that many magis present will be competing in the Acheron kingdom's annual magic competition next year. A first-rate magic item could determine the victory if you lose because of an item your opponent used, then that would truly be regretful!
”This water spirit crystal can be used to nourish a spirit artifact's artifact spirit! I think that there is no need for me to mention just how useful an artifact spirit is to a spirit artifact and what benefits a stronger artifact spirit would bring. With a superior item such as this, the battle is already half won! This water spirit crystal has a base price of 200 gold coins, and the minimum bid increase each time is 50gold coins. And now, it is time to begin the auction!”
Water spirit crystal!
Many of the young men present gulped. The first auction item was actually a spirit crystal! One couldn't forget that this auction was aimed at the young men and women participating at Acheron Kingdom's annual magic competition. A Magi using a spirit artifact? Just what kind of advantage was that! This sort of spirit artifact required a top grandmaster elder to expend a great deal of time and magic energy so that a young elite could be attuned to it. Besides the disciples or juniors of super influences or royal family, no other Magis could possibly be so prodigal.
From this alone, one could see just how luxurious and lofty this auction was! Some poorer young magis felt their hearts ache. They had obtained the lowest amount possible to hopefully join this auction, but they couldn't even be able to afford a fifth of the starting bidding price.
”Kingdom of Acheron, Enjoy your peaceful days the day I set foot there the day you start to suffer” Don clenched his fists as a cold and murderous look emerged on his face.
In the meanwhile, Don didn't care about the water spirit crystal as the item was not even remotely useful to him. He never wanted to lose something useful to him because he had no money to buy. It appeared many items in this auction would be aimed at young magis.
”300 gold coins!” In the VIP area, a youth called out, suddenly attracting the envy and admiration of many others. This proved that this youth had a spirit artifact as a weapon. His background could be imagined!
