"Ladies and gentlemen, it's now time for the final main auction item," Madam Flores turned to look at the rectangular box covered by a Magic Quilt slowly being brought over by Bagley onto the stage.
Until this very moment, no one was able to know what the final main auction item was. Even the auction item booklet didn't mention any other information about what item it was aside from the name 'Doombringer'.
"This item is the first-ever Magic weapon that this branch of Elves Secret organization was able to get its hands on until today. It's so powerful that I can assure you in the name of the Elves Secret organization that the value you will be buying it for today would be hundreds of fold or even thousands of fold than the value of what it could give to you in the future," Madam Flores proclaimed loudly. She put her hand on the Magic Quilt as she said, "May I present to all of you, 'Doombringer'!"
Whoooooosh!
As soon as the Magic Quilt was removed, what appeared in front of everyone to see was a long Magic Staff made out of some kind of metal with a Magic attribute. Up at the very top of the Magic Staff, specifically in between the sharp edges intertwining with each other, was a floating cube with similar color to those found inside the Mana stone.
Sensing closely, one could easily feel a strong Magic Power coming out from the floating cube. In fact, all the people on the first floor and second floor of the auction venue were already feeling a bit of pressure from it, making them feel restless.
In just an instant, everyone was able to quickly recognized what the floating cube was...
"This..."
"A Magic stone?!"
"Are you kidding me?!"
"Is the Elves Secret organization perhaps going all out for today?!"
"No wonder it's called 'Doombringer', this item doesn't only bring doom to its opponents, but also upon oneself,"
"..."
Indeed, the floating cube that was imbued in the Magic Staff was a Magic stone. The same exact Magic stone that could only be found on powerful organizations, empires, clans, and sects.
What one of the people had said just now was actually the truth. The Doombringer doesn't only bring doom upon its opponents, but also upon oneself because whoever would buy this Magic weapon would certainly become the target... No, to be more precise, the enemy of everyone. It might even include the Evergreen royal family themselves.
The reason for this is because the Magic Power that a Magic stone could bring upon anyone is enough to cause a conflict to arise in any Kingdom territories.
Everyone was able to quickly understand the only reason why the Elves Secret organization was able to bring the Doombringer out without causing any sort of conflict with any forces was due to the fact that they are a powerful organization.
The strength of the Elves Secret organization alone is already enough to be a strong deterrence against the forces in the Emerald Tree Kingdom, including the Evergreen royal family as well. Unless if one is strong enough to go against the entire Elves Secret organization, then it's much better to just sit and watch, rather than court death.
"Though my question is; are you willing to buy it?" Madam Flores asked the exact same question that everyone was thinking right now while wearing a provoking smile on her face.
It was within Madam Flores expectations already about the obvious fact that everyone present in the auction venue right now wouldn't have the guts to win over this Doombringer, that's why she's trying to provoke them in order for her to successfully sell the Doombringer to someone.
The reason that Madam Flores was doing this was because the Headquarters of the Elves Secret organization had left her with an instruction to sell the Doombringer to the Emerald Tree Kingdom. They didn't even care about the price they would offer, they only told her to sell it no matter what.
Madam Flores doesn't know the reason why the Headquarters of the Elves Secret organization was doing this, but since that was the instruction, she doesn't have any choice but to comply with it.
"Without further ado, the starting price for the Doombringer is only 1 copper coin with each bid no less than 1 copper coin," Madam Flores said as she banged the hammer to begin the auction.
And just like what everyone expected, no one dared to bid for the Doombringer. Even with a price of a mere 1 copper coin, no one was still willing to offer anything.
The auction venue remained silent, with everyone only staring at the Doombringer, marveling at its grandeur while at the same time also imagining what it would be like if they could have such a Magic weapon for themselves.
Even the representative that the Evergreen royal family had sent in the auction of the Elves Secret organization staying in one of those VIP rooms didn't blindly bid. He was smart enough to realize that the Doombringer would bring more trouble to the Evergreen royal family compared to the people present here right now. After all, not only would they need to be wary against the people in the Emerald Tree Kingdom, but they would also be facing the greedy eyes of the surrounding kingdoms. Though he didn't forget to send someone to inform the Evergreen royal family about how they should handle this situation.
None of them here were stupid enough to risk their lives on a mere Magic weapon. Though some of them were indeed thinking about getting the Doombringer for themselves, but they would definitely only do that in secret, without letting anyone know that the Doombringer is in their hands.
Madam Flores could only shake her head in helplessness. It seems like selling this Doombringer is a lot harder than she had thought. No worries though, since there are still a lot of days remaining for her to sell Doombringer to someone.
"Since no one is willing to bid for the Doombringer, this main auction item is canceled for today," Madam Flores said as she banged the hammer.
Hearing the banging sound, everyone can't help heaving a sigh of relief as if some kind of heavy thorn was pulled out from their body.
It's not even an exaggeration to say that a few of them had actually felt like they have escaped from the gates of hell.
"Before we end the auction for today, I would like to inform all of you here that there is still another auction item left that was given to me by someone at the last minute," Madam Flores quickly informed everyone about another auction item so as to not let anyone leave the auction venue yet. She continued, "There are two of these items, and both could be counted as barely a main auction item. So, I ask those people that are interested to be seated while my staffs are bringing over those items,"
Hearing Madam Flores' words, everyone quickly returned to their seat and waited. Although some of them were actually not interested anymore, they still decided to sit down to show respect for Madam Flores.
It didn't take that long for two massive objects covered by a Magic Quilt to be pulled over by the staff of the Elves Secret organization.
The first object was around 200 meters long while the second one was a hundred or so of meters long. Each of them was releasing a pressure that can only be felt from someone with a Galaxy level cultivation.
"The first item is a 200 meters long body of a Beast Lord Sandpit Worm," Madam Flores said as she pulled the Magic Quilt of the first item. She explained, "We suspected that this Beast Lord Sandpit Worm was 300 meters long prior to it getting killed, but has lost 100 meters of its body in the process of the fight. Don't worry though, we have already checked and confirmed a while ago that every part of its body can be used for many different things. The starting bid is 10,000 gold coins with every bid no less than 5,000 gold coins. You may begin,"
"10,000!"
"15,000!"
"20,000!"
"..."
Inside the room, Leo was secretly wishing deep inside to at least let the two Beast Lords fetch a high price.
"45,000 gold coins, going once, going twice, sold!"
Bang! Bang! Bang!
In the end, the Beast Lord Sandpit Worm was sold for a price of 45,000 gold coins.
Leo heaves a sigh of relief knowing that the price had at least earn him back the money he had used for the eight pieces of Evergreen Seed, at least that is what he thinks. After all, he still doesn't know how much exactly the Elves Secret organization would earn as a commission for auctioning an item as he didn't bother asking about it, though he's confident that it should only be around 10% to 20% since that's how much auctions would normally ask from the sellers.
"And the last item is a complete body of a Sandstone Lord Spider," Madam Flores said as she pulled the Magic Quilt of the second item.
Just like every time, Madam Flores begone explaining, "This Sandstone Lord Spider is fairly powerful than the usual Sandstone Lord Spider that we have seen before, to at least maybe around ten times to fifteen times. The starting bid is 11,000 gold coins, with every bid no less than 6,000 gold coins,"
"11,000!"
"17,000!"
"23,000!"
"..."
In no time, the Sandstone Lord Spider was sold for 53,000 gold coins, 8,000 gold coins higher compared to the Beast Lord Sandpit Worm. This difference was clearly because the latter was a damaged product while the former only have superficial wounds.
Overall, Leo was able to earn a gross income of 98,000 gold coins.. As for what his total net income would be, he'd only be able to find out later.
