Chapter 724: Fierce Bidding
This sudden torrent of prices not only shocked Xi Lun, but also made everyone present have question marks in their heads.
After a long while, Xi Lun came back to his senses under the urging of the VIP room: "Box No. 5 bids 2,000 magic crystals, but anyone wants to bid more?"
Xi Lun swallowed his saliva, paying attention to the price on the light screen, while thinking about what happened?
Why did so many people suddenly bid?
Xi Lun remembered David's words just now, which were obviously unwilling and angry. He said who made this music box?
"Is this really the alchemical illusion made by Angel?" When Xi Lun was thinking, Lianna's questioning voice came from Box No. 11.
David was also a little surprised at this time. He didn't expect that when he reported Angel's name, someone would bid 2,000 magic crystals... If he had known that Angel's reputation was so popular among wizards, he would have reported his name early!
David answered Lianna's question in surprise: "Yes, I come from the Savage Cave and am a clerk at the Promi Alchemy Shop in the underground market. This alchemical illusion is definitely the work of Angel."
David's answer also made Xilun hear the name of the refiner clearly: Angel.
Xilun thought again and again, is Angel a famous alchemist? It seems that he doesn't have this person's name in his impression?
On the other side, in the compartment on the third floor.
Sharon, whose face was as black as a pot, also asked in a muffled voice: "Who is this Angel? Is he famous?"
All the staff present shook their heads. None of them were in the alchemy circle, and they didn't know the name of Angel.
"Then go and check it for me! I want to know who this refiner is!" Sharon roared with anger.
At the same time, Sharon also took out a pure white music box from his pinky ring space.
This music box was exactly what he had told Xilun before. He bought it outside for more than 100 magic crystals. Comparing this music box carefully with the black-bottomed gold-patterned music box on the stage, both seemed to be of conventional design, but the music box on the stage was obviously more refined and more rounded.
"Could it be that they are really two different music boxes?"
The new price limit hit Sharon hard in the face. At this moment, Sharon suddenly had a guess that made him feel uneasy.
I hope it's not true.
While Xilun was still wondering about Angel's name, there were buyers who didn't know the truth and were still wondering why the price was so high all of a sudden. What secrets did this auction item have?
Even, many people asked Xilun to put the music box out directly so that everyone could see the situation.
Xilun was also considering whether to open the music box once to see if there was any key information missing, otherwise why was it suddenly bid by so many people?
But at this moment, the VIP room asked again. However, this time the question was not from Lianna, but from VIP Room No. 13.
"Auctioneer Xi Lun, there is no need to open the music box. Can you show the music box from multiple angles, such as the side or the bottom?"
This was a sinister voice. When speaking, it seemed as if there was a cold wind lingering around the entire auction venue, with a chilling coldness.
Xi Lun raised his head and looked at the source of the voice. He did not recognize who the owner of the voice was, but he knew who was sitting in the VIP room No. 13, "Nether Whisper" Duncan.
This is a wizard wandering in the land of death, with unfathomable strength. But he is a home wizard, like "Micro World" Du Martin, who stays in the Savage Cave for research all year round and is not willing to come out easily.
Before, Xi Lun also had doubts about why Duncan came to the auction. When he heard his voice at this moment, he inexplicably felt: Could it be that Duncan came for this music box?
If Duncan really came for this music box, then other people, such as Du Martin. Did they also come for this?
Although this possibility made Xi Lun feel absurd, the appearance of this group of people was unexpected in itself, and it was not impossible for absurd results to occur.
Xi Lun nodded: "Of course."
Xi Lun directly lifted the music box with his mental power, and under the direct light, he slowly moved the music box to show everyone 360 degrees.
When the bottom of the music box was exposed, Xi Lun himself had not discovered anything, and Duncan suddenly said: "Okay, I bid 3,000 magic crystals."
Duncan's offer caused a heated discussion in the venue again.
Why did Duncan suddenly bid, and why did he bid after Xi Lun showed the music box in all directions? Did he see something?
Everyone immediately locked their eyes on the music box.
They didn't pay much attention before, but when they looked carefully this time, suddenly a wizard in the private room on the second floor said: "Why do I feel that there is a faint energy fluctuation on one side of the bottom of the music box?"
As everyone discussed, Xi Lun also set his eyes on the bottom.
Because the music box was formed in one piece, it had energy fluctuations. When Xi Lun first saw it, he had not noticed the subtle fluctuations below. Now, after being reminded by others, he discovered the obvious unusual fluctuations at the bottom.
Xi Lun tried to use his mental power to feel the subtle energy fluctuations, but just when his mental power touched it, a pattern suddenly appeared slowly on the bottom of the music box.
Everyone saw it.
It was a golden line pattern, showing a lion's heart entangled by thorns.
"It looks like a logo? Could it be the personal mark of the refiner?" Someone asked in doubt.
There were many wizard apprentices in the Savage Cave, and someone immediately gave him a positive answer.
"It is indeed a personal mark. Alchemists with personal marks should be of high level, right? It is no wonder that someone offered such a high price."
The appearance of the personal mark gave Duncan's offer a reasonable explanation.
However, this logo is only what everyone sees on the surface. There are deeper things that have been noticed by some wizards in the field... magic pattern!
The reason why this pattern is obscure and can't be seen at ordinary times is because there is a strange magic pattern on it!
Personal mark or not, it is actually hidden by magic pattern. This refiner is definitely not simple.
"3500 magic crystals, Mr. Duncan, you are in the lineage of death, the music box is useless to you, right? Why don't you give this music box to me." While everyone was still discussing the personal mark, someone else made a bid. This person was Madeline, who was sitting in the box next to Duncan.
He is also the only survivor of the Silian family.
Duncan spoke again, as if a quiet and gloomy wind blew from hell: "The land of death is too desolate. It is not so lonely to have a piece of music to accompany you. 4000 magic crystals."
Madeline also knew that no matter what she said, Duncan would not give up voluntarily, so she decided to use the price advantage to suppress Duncan.
The next few minutes became a personal competition between Madeline and Duncan. You bid, I raise the price.
In a short period of time, the price of the music box was raised to 6600 magic crystals, which almost reached the price estimate of Xilun for the last few items.
And this is the third item in this auction.
It is also the item that the head of the Sharon family asked him to bid at a reserve price of 50 magic crystals.
At this time, Xilun only echoed one sentence in his heart: Head of the Sharon family, you are really short-sighted this time...
When the price exceeded 6000 magic crystals, the bidding of the two began to slow down. Madeline's net worth limit was about 10,000 magic crystals, which was the legacy of the Silian family. On the other hand, Duncan never went out all year round. Although there were few places where he could use magic crystals, he also had few opportunities to earn magic crystals, so his magic crystal reserves were limited.
So, when Madeline offered 6,600 magic crystals, Duncan was a little overwhelmed.
When Duncan was hesitating whether to increase the price, Du Martin suddenly offered: "7,000 magic crystals."
The price suddenly increased by 400 magic crystals. Obviously, Du Martin was more confident than Madeline and Duncan. Therefore, Duncan gave up, and Madeline decided to observe and see if there was anyone bidding against Du Martin.
Soon, Madeline came up with the answer: Yes, and there was more than one person bidding against Du Martin.
"Rose Crown" Lianna and "Magic" Xi Lengding bid almost at the same time, and each bid was directly increased by 500 magic crystals. Seeing this, Madeline sighed and let it go.
There were three people bidding on the spot, and they completely ignored the friendship of the same organization.
The fierce bidding made Xilun silent again. This kind of impatient stalemate atmosphere usually only appears at the finale.
But now it appears, which means... there is indeed something fishy about this music box. At the same time, he has now confirmed why this group of wizards from the Savage Cave appeared here. They probably came for this music box, right?
Thinking of this, Xilun's eyes fell on VIP Room No. 1. The person sitting there was Su Mishi. Would he also join the bidding?
Seeing the price getting higher and higher, it has even broken through to 9,000 magic crystals, only one step away from tens of thousands.
Shalong, who should have been happy, was a little unhappy.
Even if the transaction broke through 10,000 magic crystals, they would only get a share of thousands of magic crystals at the auction. Shalong didn't care about that. Instead, his face was swollen every time he offered a price.
The staff around him all lowered their breath and dared not speak, for fear of being implicated by Shalong.
Sharon said coldly: "Haven't you found out Angel's identity yet?"
"I'm still asking everyone, but there's no definite answer yet."
"Go ask the alchemist! Since he has a personal mark, he must be in the alchemy circle. What's the point of asking other people?" After shouting, Sharon slowly calmed down, looking at the heated discussion below, a cold light suddenly flashed in his eyes.
Two minutes later, the price exceeded ten thousand, but now there was no Du Martin bidding, only Lianna's Xi Lengding.
Now Xi Lengding's price was higher, he said coldly: "Lianna, you have a good relationship with Flora, if you want to get the alchemy illusion, why bother to fight with me?"
Xi Lengding's words were right, but Lianna didn't think so. She used some tricks last time to let Flora help her buy the scent of the Magic Flower King Saliva from Angel at a price close to "dust".
She made a lot of money herself, and when she thought about the price she paid to Angel for the raw materials, she felt a little guilty. However, Angel had not yet risen in the alchemy world at that time, so she simply ignored it. Who knew that in just three years, Angel would rise strongly.
Judging from her own experience, Lianna did not think that Angel would easily forgive her for what she did at that time, so she decided to use bidding to obtain the alchemy illusion instead of going directly to Angel.
The two were still bidding, but at this time, the rhythm of the wizard apprentices below changed direction.
