"Haha …"

Due to the short distance between the two of them, Ji Feng had only taken two steps when he arrived in front of the secretly wary Melinda. Although Melinda was only a priest, she didn't have to worry about herself at all as long as Sandys was around. However, she had never met anyone as daring as Ji Feng, so she looked at him coldly. He wanted to know what other amazing actions he could take. However, he didn't seem to have any intention of stopping. Smiling and nodding his head, he passed by Melinda and headed towards his private box.

She turned her head to look at him and saw that he was also looking at her. At this moment, their eyes were filled with curiosity. No one had ever dared to speak like this in front of Melinda, yet this good-for-nothing who was renowned throughout the capital did so. Call him a loser, he could actually beat Habib d'Abinett and dare to tease her.

Both of them turned at the same time to look at the gradually disappearing Ji Feng. Coincidentally, they saw him standing at the door of a private room, pushing open the door and entering.

"This person is really interesting." After saying that, she started walking towards her private box.

"Holy Maiden, do you really think he is trash?"

"I don't know either."

At this moment, the two of them were very suspicious of the rumors circulating around the imperial city for many years.

Not long after Ji Feng returned to his room, the auction officially started. The auctioneer was a middle-aged man. This middle-aged man had an ordinary appearance, one that couldn't be found on the streets. However, those who knew him would not treat him as an ordinary person. His name was Bernice Bull, and he was an auctioneer at the Great Auction House. It was said that he was a Great Magister, but no one had confirmed it. He was also the second auctioneer since the establishment of the Great Auction House in the city of Saxony. After the death of the previous auctioneer who was seriously ill, he had taken over this position until now.

Two other girls wearing long black dresses walked over with Bernice. One of them held a tray in her hand. On the tray, there was a red cloth that covered everything in the tray.

"Before the auction begins, I would like to express the gratitude of the Great Auction House for everyone's presence. Just like before, I am the one who will be hosting the auction this time. Let me introduce to everyone today's first auction item. "

As Bernice spoke, the girl from before stepped forward and lifted the red cloth. What appeared in front of them was a lump of black metal the size of a basketball.

This pitch-black metal was called magic gold. When refining weapons, adding some magic gold could increase the weapon's toughness and also increase the weapon's magic resistance.

In this world of magic, mages' methods were all long range attacks. For warriors who specialized in close combat, their methods of resisting magic were essential. Although the price of magic gold was very high but it wasn't a rare item. However, such a large amount of magic gold was still very rare. Because the amount of magic gold used was not much, such a large mass of magic gold was enough to make hundreds of weapons.

Bernice's voice rang out once more, "I believe everyone recognizes this item. I won't be introducing it. The starting price for this piece of magic gold is five hundred thousand purple coins. Each bid should be no less than a thousand. Now, everyone can bid."

"Five hundred thousand." Just as Bernice finished his sentence, someone from the lower seats shouted out the starting bid.

"Five hundred and twenty thousand."

"Five hundred and fifty thousand."

• • • In the blink of an eye, the price of this piece of magic gold had been raised to five hundred and fifty thousand.

"Seven hundred thousand."

Ji Feng heard a familiar voice coming from a box on the right. The owner of the voice was Leander, one of Harby's guards.

Although this price was far from the true value of magic gold, but to raise it to 150,000 in one go still created a short awkward silence.

Hearing Leander's voice, Monsoon had an idea. He said, "Bobby, add two hundred thousand."

Bobby answered at once, then went to the box and announced nine hundred thousand.

"Brother, what are you buying this for? Don't tell me you want to forge a weapon?"

"Of course not."

"Then why are you calling out a price?"

"It was Harby's guard, Leander."

John immediately understood what the monsoon meant. He said, "Brother, you're too bad."

"Even if I didn't do that, he wouldn't say 'good' to me, and certainly wouldn't forget his hatred towards me. Since that's the case, why didn't I seize the opportunity to teach them a lesson?"

"Brother, you're too amazing. You can even think of such a thing!"

"If I was really that amazing, then I wouldn't have fought in this way. I just promised him that I would duel again."

"Bro, actually, it doesn't matter even if you agreed just now. If worse comes to worse, I'll replace you and fight him. I don't believe that I can't beat him."

"That's what you said. If he comes up with another duel, I'll suggest for him to fight you, so I can see what you've learned in the past few years."

"No problem." John answered very simply.

"One million." As the brothers spoke, Leander made another offer.

The monsoon held up two fingers, signaling Bobby to continue, and Bobby added two hundred thousand dollars to his one million.

In Harby's box, his facial features were so distorted that before he came, his father had asked him to take the piece of magic gold. Most of the people who came here knew the truth. Unless it was something extremely precious, generally speaking, if a power displayed their determination, the rest of the people would stop. Leander had added a hundred and fifty thousand to his five hundred and fifty thousand just to let the others know that the Darbinit family was determined to get their hands on the piece of magic gold. This was also the case. After Leander bid seven hundred thousand, everyone tactfully stopped talking.

Everyone, including Harby, had not expected the monsoon to jump the ladder by a hundred thousand to two hundred thousand. If it was used two more times, the price would exceed the value of the piece of magic gold. Although this amount of money was nothing to the Dabinit family, if he were to exceed his budget by too much, he would still be punished if he went back. At the same time, he also caused the clan to doubt his ability. First, he was beaten up by the Empire's number one trash, and then something else happened. His position in the family would be shaken by this.

Harby was in a dilemma. If he did not continue with the offer, the item would be lost to him. If he continued to bid, this item would quickly surpass its value.

At this time, the people in the auction house started to discuss among themselves. Some of them quickly found out the identities of the two. Not long after, everyone in the auction house found out the identities of the two. At this moment, no one was bidding anymore. They were all looking at the two boxes with interest, wanting to know who would win this battle.

"Such a large amount of magic gold is very rare. If you buy it then a family wouldn't have to worry about magic gold for a hundred years. Now it has reached 1.2 million. Is there anything higher?" Bernice's voice rang out in the large auction hall.
