Chapter 113 - Auction ( 5 )

Cyril can only make a guess for now since he really has no way to learn about the current situation of the Arcane World. He would also not waste his life just to ask Xagan about it.

Luckily, the crowd was also quite suspicious as they expressed their sentiments.

"Hmm… We want to know what's the world inside…"

"Right… I think that there's something wrong about it."

"Well, it's really quite suspicious that you guys would actually sell these precious items. I hope to find out more about this as well."

"Hmph! It doesn't matter. Just sell it now! The price might just increase even more if we learned what's inside."

"Oh! That makes sense. If we all know the Arcane World and it turned out to be something perfect, then there's no way for us to take it from the hands of those filthy rich Awakened!"

As expected, some guys also wanted to take advantage of the mysteriousness of the Crystal to lower the price.

"Haha! I guess everyone is truly excited. Don't worry, even though I can't fully describe the Arcane Worlds connected to these Entrance Crystals, I can at least tell you guys what you'll see after entering it the first time…"

She then looked at the silent crowd before continuing.

"The first mid-class has a Lich, hundreds of Death Knights, and uncountable Banshees… The place is quite eerie but definitely a good place to train your combat skills. You might even find the weapons of the Death Knights as treasures!

"The second mid-class is an interesting world of violent and aggressive Dark Elves… They aren't inclined to communicate with any humans at all. So you have to be careful of their craftiness and some curses…

"Finally, the high-class Arcane World here is ruled by the Cyclops… As of the moment, we have been unable to explore it for more than 10 minutes since our company doesn't have enough A-Rank Awakened after all. The other problem in this Arcane World is that you have to fulfill a condition before you can exit the Arcane World... You can't get out anytime you want unless you have an escape crystal with you. So you have to keep it in mind."

Eve's speech ended.

The crowd wanted to think more about the Arcane World but Eve decided to start the bidding immediately.

Cyril knows that the price for the Low-Class Arcane World can reach 200 million…

As for the Mid-Class, it should be a bit higher than that…

"The base price for the first crystal ruled by a Lich is 310 million!"

"311 million!"

"313 million!"

"345 million!"

The bidding continued until it reached 500 million…

This should be the limit of the mid-class Arcane World. However, the truly wealthy people from large organizations weren't finished yet…

The price reached 620 million Ains before it was sold!

This is even an Arcane World without a guarantee that would make them a lot of profit.

After all, what kind of resources can someone find inside an undead world!

Everything here should be rotten already!

"It's impressive… So the Silent Crawler is actually interested in this Arcane World?"

"Right, I noticed that he wasn't interested in the other items. I guess he really came here just for that Arcane World?"

"Well, they are the strongest guild here. We will never understand how they think."

Cyril looked at the group of people chatting not too far from him. He looked in the direction where they are gazing at and found a young man who should only be about 25 years old.

'So, he's the representative of the strongest guild? He doesn't look like a famous guy in the original timeline…' Cyril couldn't recall this person so it means that he's probably just a small fry in the Silent Crawler Guild.

Nevertheless, he didn't dare to underestimate anyone who comes from the mysterious and powerful guild.

Thud!

As soon as he won the crystal. This person actually decided to leave his seat to speak with the receptionist not too far from him. It seems that he could no longer wait and wanted to take the item and leave.

Anyway, the second Arcane World was bought by the cousins from the Blood Knights. They were unafraid of the Dark Elves at all.

"What? We bought them without much competition?"

"How boring…"

Nicole and Stephan were both disappointed after the uneventful bidding. They were expecting fierce competition only to realize that the crystal they bought wasn't that alluring to many.

Nevertheless, the cousins weren't disheartened at the result. They managed to get such a precious Arcane World for only 550 million and are quite excited to enter this world already!

"Alright, let's not waste our time here. We need to get out of here as quickly as possible. I can feel some hostile gazes coming everywhere."

Stephan said which made Nicole really serious. She knows the ability of her cousin when it comes to sensing danger. It had saved them numerous times already.

"Let's move quickly then…"

Soon, the two owners of the first two mid-class Entrance Crystals disappeared as they wanted to quickly take what they have paid for.

As for the High-Class Arcane World, it was purchased by someone from the Awakened Organization and paid a billion on it.

"That was an amazing auction… I didn't know that such items could be worth that much…" Bonnie said as she still couldn't get over to the final price of the high-class entrance crystal.

"Haha… Are you interested to become Arcane Explorer now? If you become one, you could also earn a lot of money." Cyril asked jokingly. He didn't want to put Bonnie in any danger after all."

"Hmph! Rather than exploration… I'll just travel around to find Entrance Crystals! That might be easier."

Bonnie answered.

"Oh… That sounds cool… That could truly give tons of money if you can find an Entrance Crystal. It will be a good part-time job… But you know that there are already thousands of people who are doing this, right?"

"R-right…"

Well, she's only joking about it and she still felt that concocting potions, and perhaps making simple arrays, is more fulfilling than hunting for crystals.
