Chapter 280: Auction (2)
"He is nobody, young master Lin." Eila uttered while staring at Kent with a serious face and sat on her seat.
The bald guy named Lin stared at Kent with an angry glare and sat beside Eila.
"Master, why do they seem rude to us?" Fatty whispered close to Kent.
"Yesterday, while buying pet food, the girl and I had a small clash. I finally got the pet food. She seems to be upset about that." Kent replied casually.
"Ohh… I thought the girl looked beautiful, like my sister-in-law. But I never expected her to be so petty. Please don't mind her behavior, master." Fatty replied before sipping the wine served by the servant ladies.
Eila, who heard Fatty's comments, turned around with a serious look. But before she spoke, a beautiful lady's voice sounded from the auction stage, grabbing everyone's attention.
With a cold shrug, Eila turned around and clenched her fists. But the bald guy, Lin, turned around and showed a threatening finger to Fatty. Kent lifted his hand and stopped Fatty from speaking a mother curse.
Peak Master Porus ignored the exchange of young people and focused on the auction stage.
On the stage, servant girls began arranging the auction items, each covered in a gold-colored cloth, in a precise serial order. An old man in lavish wizard robes directed the servant ladies with a commanding presence. His gestures were authoritative, ensuring that each item was perfectly aligned.
At the center of the stage stood Jia, the auctioneer, an enchanting beauty in a purple, long, flowy dress that clung to her curves and highlighted her deep cleavage. Lifting her wand to her mouth, she amplified her voice with a subtle charm spell, ensuring that every word she spoke resonated throughout the grand hall.
"Welcome, esteemed guests," Jia began, her voice smooth and captivating. "It is my honor to greet you all at this prestigious auction here at the Sun Stone Tower. Before we begin, let me explain the rules to ensure a fair experience for everyone."
Her image was projected onto a tall aurora glass screen situated against the background wall, providing a clear view to those seated further back and on the on the top floors.
"The bidding process is simple," Jia continued, gesturing gracefully towards the audience. "Each seat is equipped with a glass orb fixed to the armrest. When you wish to place a bid, simply press the orb and state your offer clearly. The current highest bid will be displayed on the aurora glass behind me."
"As a reminder," she added, her tone becoming slightly more serious, "please be respectful of your fellow bidders. Any attempts to disrupt the auction will be dealt with swiftly and severely. We want to ensure a fair opportunity for all to acquire these rare and precious items."
"As this auction is conducted specifically for the disciples who were visiting the inheritance ground, the auctioning items will be lifesaving treasures."
She smiled warmly, her eyes sparkling with excitement. "Now, without further ado, let us begin. Our first item is something truly special. Please direct your attention to the stage.
The old man in wizard robes stepped forward, removing the gold cloth from the first item to reveal a small ring. Immediately, the ring was displayed on the aurora glass.
"This is the spirit ring crafted by a rank 8 smith of the Wizard Association. It contains a beautiful terrain of ten miles of space inside it. A lavish castle, river terrain for your pets, and eight different elemental terrains for different types of pets. The ring is bound to the owner, and you can upgrade the space inside if you want."
Jia explained in a cheerful tone while pointing at the aurora glass, which is displaying the inside features of the ring. The name 'Autumn Leaf' is engraved on the slender ring, which looks more feminine in appearance.
"Okay, then, let's not waste our time. The starting bid for this spirit ring is 1000 mana stones."
Just as Jia spoke the initial bidding, a wave of hands rose in the air, and many people touched the glass orb on their arm rest.
-Number 13 bids 3000 mana stones, going once. Ah! Number 66 bids 5000 mana stones.
-Number 76 bids 10,000 mana stones! Oh, number 3 is raising the price even further—15,000 is the current bid!
"This…"
Seeing the crazy waves of bids, Fatty looked at the glass orb in his hand. If he had to be honest, Fatty was quite tempted, but after remembering the cost of each mana stone, he pulled his hand a long distance away from that glass orb.
"Kent, are you interested in this spirit ring?" Peak Master Porus asked with a questioning look.
"No, master. I already have a spirit ring, which I won in the arena. Even though it is a lot inferior to the one on stage, I don't want you to waste mana stones for a storage ring." Kent replied in a calm tone.
"That's really sensible. But if you want it, I will buy it for you. I have a total of fifty thousand mana stones. So, don't worry about the price." Porus said with a comforting smile.
As Kent still denied it, Porus stayed calm.
But the Ice Castle girls and Celestial Sun Fire sect disciples who sat in the front rows began laughing after hearing the exchange between Kent and Porus.
"Hahaha, they are really thinking of buying a treasure with 50,000 mana stones. How laughable!" The bald guy, Lin, spoke in a loud tone, attracting everyone's attention.
Peak Master Porus put his palm on Kent's hand and stopped Kent from doing whatever he was ready to do. Porus gaze met with the elder, who sat along with the front row disciples.
-'Number 28 from the Celestial Sun Fire Sect bids 25,000 mana stones!'
The bald guy, Lin, who placed the bet, turned around and gave a loud smirk.
The price of 25,000 mana stones was too much for the spirit ring. But to show off his stature, Lin directly raised the bid from 18000 to 25000 mana stones.
