Versatile Mage: Sword of the Stars, Slay All Evil Spirits

Chapter 51 Dragon Beast Auction

If you are lucky enough to take a picture of a dragon beast that suits you, it will become the most powerful partner of the wizard on the battlefield, helping him to sweep through thousands of enemies and be invincible.

But if they accidentally choose the wrong one or are unable to afford the high price, it may not only cause the mages to suffer heavy losses, but may even bring unexpected disasters.

Generally speaking, the prices of miscellaneous dragons and pseudo dragons are relatively affordable, and some mages with a little savings can make choices based on their actual needs.

But Asian dragons are different. Their value is astronomical and ridiculously expensive!
Many people who came to participate in the auction were actually just there to watch the fun and get a glimpse of these legendary powerful creatures.

What's more, they even placed their hopes on the illusory dragon egg.

I hope that with a lucky bet, I can get a peerless dragon pet and soar to the sky!
"Well, we finally arrived in Britain! The development of dragon beasts here is indeed much stronger than in China. Sister, Brother Chen is also checking things out."

Lingling walked out of the room, pushed open Chen Chen's door and looked at him.

"What's wrong?" Chen Chen noticed the movement and turned his head to look back.

"It's my sister's call. I wanted to ask you why you didn't notify my sister." Lingling looked at Chen Chen unhappily.

Hearing this, Chen Chen slapped his forehead suddenly and said in annoyance, "Oh, I forgot."

"Hey." Lingling frowned and threw the phone to Chen Chen.

"Sorry, sorry, Sister Qing"

After Chen Chen took the phone, his face was full of embarrassment.

A gentle voice came from the other end of the phone, "Achen, it's okay, is everything going well over there?"

"Sister Qing, it's going well."

"That's good. You guys should be more careful over there. Especially keep an eye on Lingling. That girl is always reckless."

At this time, Lingling came to the phone and shouted, "Sister, I won't do that."

"..."

The three chatted for a few more sentences and then hung up the phone.

----

The next day, Lingling and Chen Chen had a general understanding of the auction here.

At this moment, there was a noise outside, and the two of them walked to the window and looked out curiously.

On the street, a group of people were gathered in front of a huge display screen, talking.

The dragon beasts on the display screen had various shapes, some of their scales gleaming in the sun, while others spewed out flames, causing the crowd to exclaim in surprise.

"Let's go and participate in that too." Lingling excitedly pulled Chen Chen's arm.

Chen Chen nodded without thinking, and went downstairs with Lingling, heading towards the address on the display.
This was where he was originally planning to go.

When they arrived at the venue where the event was being held, a long line had already snaked around the corner.

Lingling and Chen Chen stood at the end of the line, waiting patiently to enter.

Lingling stood on tiptoe from time to time, trying to see the situation in the venue clearly, with curiosity and anticipation flashing in her eyes.

Soon they both entered.

"Wow--!"

"That thing is cool!"

"..."

At this time, the venue was crowded with people and the noise was endless.

On the central display stand, an ice dragon beast emitting a faint blue light was flapping its wings. Every time it flapped its wings, the air around it seemed to drop a little in temperature, and ice crystals condensed and dissipated on its side.

“The pseudo-dragons of ice magic are indeed cultivated to an incredibly high level here.” Lingling said excitedly.

Chen Chen also nodded, but also pointed out its shortcomings, "Although it has ice attributes, it also has extremely low dragon blood due to hybridization."

The two continued to wander around the venue. The surrounding booths were filled with various dragon beast-related items, from weapons made of dragon scales to magic potions containing dragon beast blood. Lingling stopped in front of a booth that displayed dragon beast cub dolls and picked up a small fiery red doll with great interest.

"Buy it if you like it." Chen Chen said with a smile, and then helped Lingling pay.
Then the two of them strolled around the square for a long time.

"This auction is about to begin. Interested guests are requested to arrive at the designated location immediately."

As the broadcast announcing the auction was about to begin sounded, people flocked to the auction hall.

Chen Chen also took Lingling to his reserved seat and sat down.

Soon, the auction begins.

The first dragon beast that was about to be auctioned on the stage—

It is a sturdy wind-type dragon, and judging from its aura, it is only at the level of a general.

This should be the best time for domestication, and there will be a very long breeding period afterwards.

Whether it is purchasing a dragon beast for combat or summoning a wizard, getting an adult one directly is not as good as cultivating feelings with it from childhood.

Those who can afford Asian dragons either have a family backing or are mages with extremely high cultivation.

It is not difficult for these people to cultivate Kia dragons.

But in fact, most people can only afford fake dragons or even hybrid dragons.
It paced gently on the stage, with wind elements circling under its feet, as if demonstrating its agility and quickness.

The auctioneer began to introduce this wind-type miscellaneous dragon: "Dear guests, this is a wind-type miscellaneous dragon with the level of a general. Although it is a miscellaneous dragon, it is extremely fast and has excellent wind-type abilities.

It is extremely effective whether used for transmitting information or assisting in small-scale combat.

The starting price is 50 million!"

As soon as the words fell, someone in the audience raised a sign: "Fifty and a half million!"

Then another voice shouted, "Sixty million!"

The price kept rising, and Lingling was eager to try. She looked at Chen Chen with a questioning look in her eyes.

Chen Chen shook his head slightly, indicating to her that this was not their target.

When the price reached eight million, the number of bidders gradually decreased.

At this time, someone made the final decision: "Eighty-five million."

At this time, the whole audience fell into a brief silence. After a moment, the auctioneer shouted: "Eighty-five million once, eighty-five million twice, eighty-five million three times, sold!

Congratulations to this gentleman for obtaining this wind-type dragon!"

Chen Chen was not surprised by this. In the original book, a flying demon egg of the general level could reach this price, not to mention that this was a dragon beast.

As the staff took the wind dragon away.

The second auction item was pushed up.

This time it was a pseudo dragon covered in flames. Raging flames burned on its body, like a moving mountain of fire. The hot breath spread, making the surrounding air distorted.

The auctioneer's voice sounded again: "This pseudo dragon is called Blazing Dragon. It has a good bloodline and has the potential to break through to become a leader. It is an excellent partner for auxiliary mages. The starting price is 80 million!"

The bidders in the audience immediately began to raise the price, and the shouting sounds continued one after another.

"What a great training, worthy of being a dragon taming family."

Lingling looked at the fake dragon with curiosity in her eyes.

"Yes." Chen Chen nodded sincerely.

Only Britain in this world can afford such a big deal, while the others keep it hidden for themselves.

In his impression, the domestication of dragons had begun to be popularized among the general public in the later period, so that beast taming was no longer exclusive to the summoning system.

I can only say it’s really cruel!
