Chapter 527: Spell Crystals

Translator: OneshotwonderEditor: Hitesh_

The crystal gun project had been shelved by the Confederation for many years due to fruitless experiments. The crystal gun was first introduced to the battlefield by the Kaedeian vanguard, and became their standard equipment. The technology of the gun was fiercely guarded by the female warriors, and Cinderella was the only Kaedeian weaponsmith who still knew how to create such a weapon. By now, only a handful of the original crystal guns were left in the world, and they were kept close to Kaedeian royalties.

”This is the new X series GN force crystal gun. With the hair-trigger add-on, it can fire over one hundred and twenty shots per second. It can be used by any soldier above level fifteen. Starting at one thousand blues!”

The price immediately shocked everyone. Many major factions wanted to pick up the research from where the Confederation left it, so this gun could be a perfect experiment sample. The working principle of the crystal gun was simple, but the core martial required a legendary craftsman to create, which made replicating the gun nearly impossible outside Cinderella's workshop. The difficulties in making the core component had also drastically reduced the number of guns that could be produced. Should any lab be able to find a way to mass produce the core component, the powerful guns would be used by many more human soldiers.

Despite the immense value of the gun, many people hesitated in bidding at first.

”Fifteen hundred!”

On the screen, an anonymous buyer raised his ticket via the teleconference and stated his price; he was located in Cesar City, miles away from Jade City.

These anonymous buyers were the main customers of Syracuse. Despite their elusive identity, their cheques never bounced.

Sanders sneaked a glance at Xiao Yuyu and Vorenus beside him; he could tell that they were very interested in the gun, although they barely had the need to use it in order to defend themselves.

Sanders waved at one of his servants and whispered an order. A few seconds later, someone raised their number and increased the price to two thousand blues.

Everyone in the city knew the young man who bid for the gun was one of Sanders representatives, so none of them decided to raise their number again. However, the same could not be said about those anonymous buyers who joined the auction via teleconferencing.

”Three thousand.” A buyer from Brooklyn raised the price again.

Lun Duo and Tan Bu looked at each other with surprise; they had never thought that a gun could be worth so much money. Unknown to the two young soldiers, three thousand could barely cover Syracuse's cost of acquiring the gun.

”Five thousand.”

An anonymous buyer from Alexander City doubled down on his offer. A smile found the corner of Syracuse's mouth; he knew that the bidding war had finally started.

Soon, the price of the gun was jacked to over ten thousand, and by then, only the buyers from the big cities were still left in the game. Even if anyone in a smaller city such as Jade City wanted to bid for the gun, the price had gone way beyond their limit.

”Fifteen thousand!”

Suddenly, someone inside the auction house shouted out his offer. When Syracuse looked toward the speaker, the smile on his face evaporated in an instant.

It was Wang Tong, the piss poor leader of a piss poor war band.
