After purchasing the remains of the ruins of the gods, Enzo continued to wander around the square.
Although this place is also a gathering of wizards, it mainly caters to the apprentice class, and the most precious items are only magical items. For Enzo, it really has no appeal.
"Enzo, I'm hungry."
After a while, a honest voice came from behind. The golden retriever Swain transformed into was clumsily shaking its butt. It looked a little funny because it had no tail.
"Be patient, I'll take you to the restaurant to eat later." Enzo casually touched Swain's head.
"No need to go to the restaurant, I want to eat that thing."
Swain stuck out his tongue and looked at the stall not far away. There was a ball of flesh and blood similar to a heart placed on it, as if it still had the characteristics of life, and the small tentacles on the surface were trembling slightly.
"Is this...the phantom heart?" Enzo's eyes narrowed and he walked over.
The owner of the stall not far away was a thin man. His face was extremely pale, his skin looked like it had not seen the sun all year round, and there was a vague smell of rancidity coming from his body.
"A third-level apprentice who failed in his attempt to become a formal wizard."
Enzo looked at the thin man and made an inference about his condition. He seemed to be a third-level apprentice who had just recently chosen to challenge the official wizard, but ended in failure.
His failure to attack the wizard realm caused him to consume a lot of life force and he looked extremely weak at the moment.
"If the guest needs anything, please feel free to take a look."
When the thin man saw someone coming to the stall, he made a low and weak voice and said, "However, no matter which item you are interested in, I will only accept the transaction using magic stones or potions."
Enzo said nothing and grabbed the flesh and blood heart on the stall.
According to the prompts given by the chip, it can be seen that the owner of this heart is a small monster called a mirage. This kind of creature has average combat capabilities, but it has attributes between illusion and reality.
Such creatures existed in the ancient First Age.
In some legends, eating phantom hearts can prevent nightmares at night. Although later studies by wizards have shown that this legend is pure nonsense, eating fresh phantom hearts has the ability to increase resistance to phantom attacks.
ability.
However, this improvement is so small that it is almost negligible.
"How many magic stones are needed to buy this mirage heart?" Enzo asked.
"1,000 magic stones, or a magic potion of equal value." The thin apprentice whispered.
"How about this?" Enzo directly took out a [Celeste Potion] and threw it to the thin apprentice. The other person unscrewed the cork and sniffed it gently, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Okay, no problem!" the thin apprentice said cheerfully.
After the simple deal was reached, Enzo turned around and prepared to leave the square, casually throwing the mirage heart into the air. In the eyes of the thin apprentice with surprise and distress, the big golden retriever Swain jumped up and swallowed the mirage heart.
.
"Wow...it's delicious." Swain licked the corner of his mouth, feeling a little unfinished.
...
In the blink of an eye, three days passed.
The bright moonlight shines on the earth, with a soft and gentle feeling. As night falls quietly, the Valley of the Winds also falls into silence, but the Hurricane City located in the center of the canyon becomes extremely lively.
Today is the day for the auction.
The Kellytel family's carriage passed through a neighborhood and came to the outside of a large, gorgeous building. Fianna and Enzo got off the carriage and entered the auction hall together.
"Please two of you, come with me."
As soon as they entered the auction hall, a waitress came towards them. After confirming their identities, they took Fiana and Enzo into a compartment in the hall. The environment inside was simple. Apart from tables and chairs, there was only one
Golden bell.
The Nausicaa Auction is held anonymously, and participants are arranged into different compartments.
If during the auction, participants like a certain item, they only need to shake the golden bell, which means they choose to bid and increase the price.
"Does Nausicaa hold an auction every year?"
There was still some time before the auction started, Enzo asked casually.
"Yes, it happens every year."
Next to her, Fiana replied: "Since [Eye of the Hurricane] formed the Wizards Alliance and occupied the Valley of the Wind, the annual auction is not just for profit, but also for [Eye of the Hurricane] to show off its strength.
and capital.”
Enzo's eyes flashed and he nodded slightly.
During the expedition of the three major organizations to the [Forest World], [Eye of the Hurricane] took the opportunity to rise in the Dark Realm. However, due to lack of foundation and history, they need to show their strength to the outside world every once in a while.
And that’s exactly what the Nausicaa Auction is all about!
Through communication with major wizarding families and forces, [Eye of the Hurricane], as the organizer, not only obtained sufficient benefits, but also demonstrated its own capital, which was a double win.
Not long after, every compartment in the hall was occupied by people who came to attend the auction.
As the light from the huge magic stone above the head dimmed, the hall suddenly became quiet. On the auction stage at the front, a handsome young man, wearing a fitted white dress, walked up calmly.
"Welcome to the Nausicaa of the Wind Auction. Today's auction will be hosted by me!" the handsome young man said in a hearty voice.
"That man's name is Colin, he is a first-level wizard of [Hurricane Eye]."
In the box compartment, Fiana said softly: "The annual Nausicaa of the Wind auction is held by Wizard Colin. However, according to outside rumors, Wizard Colin's strength is very average. The reason why he can be...
He is entrusted with important tasks because he is attached to a certain female second-level wizard."
Enzo raised his eyebrows and looked at Fiana in surprise.
He didn't expect Fiana to have such a gossipy side. However, facing Enzo's eyes, Fiana's face looked very calm and she said, "As a representative of the Kellytel family, I need to master enough knowledge."
information!"
Enzo turned around and said nothing more.
At this time, after Wizard Colin appeared, the auction officially began. The first auction item that appeared first was a top-level demonized item, a silver giant sword cast from a star.
"A rune giant sword forged from Starfall and Mithril as the main body!"
"This top-level magical item has extremely excellent magic conductivity, and the user can get a certain strength bonus. The base price is 5,000 magic stones, and each bid will increase by 1,000 magic stones!"
As soon as Wizard Colin finished speaking, someone rang the bell to bid.
As the first item in the auction, the top-level demonized item Great Sword plays a very good role in setting off the atmosphere. This rune great sword is a very good piece of equipment for wizards.
According to the definition of the wizarding world, magical items are divided into four levels.
Low level, intermediate level, high level, top level!
The first three levels are applicable to the apprentice class. Almost every elite third-level apprentice will have a high-level magic item as a trump card. When Enzo was a third-level apprentice, he even had two high-level magic items.
As for the top-level magic items, they are exclusive to official wizards!
Because the energy contained in top-level magic items is too powerful, if the wizard apprentice uses it rashly, not only will it be unable to exert the full power of the magic item, but it may even suffer backlash during use.
Therefore, under normal circumstances, only formal wizards are qualified to use top-level magic items.
As for the more advanced magical witchcraft, it has gone beyond the category of demonized items. Only the strongest among second-level wizards have them. The vast majority of second-level wizards cannot obtain one even if they spend all their wealth.
"9,000 magic stones once, 9,000 magic stones twice, 9,000 magic stones three times, deal!" Wizard Colin's voice was loud in front.
The rune giant sword, a top-level magic item, was finally bought by a wizard in a box for 9,000 magic stones. Such a price is not excessive for a top-level magic item.
After all, apprentices and wizards are completely different life forms, and the value of the magical items used by both parties is also very different.
Afterwards, the auction continues.
Under the auspices of Wizard Colin, one auction item appeared, among which in addition to top-level magic items, there were also some more precious materials and items, even the [Ice Heart Potion] from the Kelitel family.
The price of each [Bingxin Potion] can reach more than 2,000 magic stones.
This means that after Enzo is promoted to the second-level wizard, he needs to pay 2,000 magic stones every month to use [Ice Heart Potion], but as a tribute to the Kelitel family, these resources are completely free.
"The next auction item is the blood robe!"
Wizard Colin clapped his hands, and four strong-looking foreign slaves lifted out a transparent display cabinet. There was a blood-red robe inside, exuding a strange aura.
"A wizard's robe made from the blood of pure vampires in the shadow world, a top-notch magical item."
"This blood robe has the ability to absorb the blood of living beings and form energy defense. The base price is 10,000 magic stones. Bidding starts now!"
Wizard Colin gave a few brief introductions and announced the start of the bidding for the blood robe.
"100 high-grade magic stones, the price is not expensive."
In the box, Enzo stroked his chin and looked at the bloody robe on the auction table, with a hint of interest on his face. He had just been promoted to a second-level wizard, but he didn't even have a top-level magic item on him, so he participated in the auction this time.
Yes, I also plan to update my equipment.
There is no need to replace the wand for the time being, because Enzo already has a soul bone wand.
Although the Soul Bone Wand is currently only a high-level magic item, it is inlaid with soul-eating crystals. As long as enough souls are devoured, it can eventually evolve into a top-level magic item or even a magic weapon.
After forty years of fighting during the expedition, the Soul Bone Wand is only one step away from being a top-notch magical item.
He has equipment that enhances his spellcasting ability, but Enzo lacks defensive items. Although he is good at shadow witchcraft and can avoid most damage, if he gets this blood robe, it will be another layer of insurance.
With his mind made up, Enzo rang the bell.
"Lord Enzo, are you interested in this blood robe?" Fiana asked.
"15,000 magic stones is my bottom line. If it exceeds this price, there is no need." Enzo shook his head slightly. He was indeed interested in the blood robe, but this emotion was not strong.
Soon, someone else rang the bell to bid.
The sound came from the box next door. Because the wooden board was blocking it, Enzo didn't know the identity of the other party. His eyes flashed and he tried to use the chip's scanning function to check the status of the box next door.
There are many runes set up in the auction hall, but they cannot isolate the chip from detection.
After Enzo was promoted to a second-level wizard, the chip's capabilities were further upgraded. Although some functions were lost due to energy interference, Enzo was still able to see clearly the situation in the box next door.
It was a female wizard with a hot figure wearing a red gauze skirt. She was lazily leaning on a chair and playing with a golden bell in her hand.
The aura emanating from the other party obviously came from [Fang Blood Shadow], but this witch seemed to have just been promoted to wizard not long ago, and her energy fluctuations and temperament seemed a bit immature.
"You've just been promoted to an official wizard, so you want to buy a top-notch magical item?" Enzo thought for a moment.
Then, he shook the golden bell three times in a row, directly raising the price of the blood robe to 15,000 magic stones. This price was his bottom line. If the other party still bid, then Enzo decided to give up.
However, after the blood robe reached 15,000 magic stones, the witch of [Fang Blood Shadow] obviously hesitated.
This money seemed to be all her wealth. If it was used to buy the blood robe, it would mean that she would lose the qualification to continue to participate in the auction. So after some consideration, the witch shook her head and put down the golden bell in her hand with some hesitation.
.
The corners of Enzo's lips raised, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
Using 150 high-level magic stones to purchase a top-level magic item is considered a suitable price. After the expedition, Enzo exchanged his merits for 750 high-level magic stones, so he still had enough wealth.
"The next item is a two-ring witchcraft model!"
"Shadow witchcraft, Shadow Corps!"
"By mastering this second-level witchcraft, you can gradually cultivate an army of shadow soldiers. A certain second-level wizard in history used his shadow army to single-handedly capture a kingdom."
"The base price is 5,000 magic stones, start bidding now!"
The first witchcraft model that appeared at the auction turned out to be a second-level shadow witchcraft, but the price was only 5,000 magic stones. This was mainly because the shadow witchcraft was too unpopular, which led to such a result.
Enzo's eyes narrowed and his eyes flickered slightly.
A long time ago, when Enzo first embarked on his journey as a wizard, he had heard of the [Shadow Corps], and even mastered Shadow Assassin, one of the prerequisite skills of this wizardry.
"It seems that my luck is really good!"
Seeing that the shadow witchcraft model he needed most had appeared, Enzo couldn't help but smile. He shook the golden bell without hesitation and chose to bid at a higher price.
Using Shadow Corps as his second-level witchcraft is a good choice. After all, shadow witchcraft is not popular, and Enzo doesn't have many choices.
