Wizard Immortality.

Chapter 95 An Encounter with the Deep Star Queen | Profound Malice Towards Vic

After the auction began.

One after another, precious materials and expensive, mysterious creations were unveiled.

Bidding competition was fierce at the venue.

The bidding for a single potion sparked a fierce exchange of words and veiled insults, creating quite a spectacle.

Even in the hidden room on the second floor, people would occasionally make bids to seize it.

But Vic remained unmoved.

He came to the auction only to acquire a volcanic core; he wasn't interested in anything else.

After more than ten items were bought one by one.

The volcanic core that Vic wanted to buy finally appeared on the auction stage.

This item needs to be obtained from the bottom of molten lava, and it is very difficult to obtain without special magical enhancements. In addition, it is a stabilizer used in alchemy.

Therefore, the price is extremely high.

As soon as they stepped onto the stage, the auctioneer announced the reserve price.

1,500 Soul Stones.

Each price increase must be no less than 200.

The auctioneer finished speaking.

An inexplicable silence fell over the room; for a moment, no one offered a bid, and they looked at each other in bewilderment.

Wizards who can participate in the Eternal Auction are all exceptionally powerful individuals with powerful backgrounds.

The volcanic core, with a base price of 1,500 soul stones, wasn't expensive for them.

However, this material can only be used by first-level alchemists.

If you rashly try to seize it, you are very likely to make an enemy of them.

It has no advantages and only disadvantages.

[At this point, I hope readers will remember our domain name: 10 ...

The floating city and the first-level alchemist from the Cult of Kramar are both highly accomplished and of extraordinary status, and they are rivals to each other.

Although volcanic cores are precious and rare, they are too proud to be the first to bid, lest they appear ignorant, greedy, and lower their status.

This has led to a situation where items are displayed, but no one is offering a price.

The auctioneer was very experienced and clearly had encountered this situation before.

He first gave a detailed introduction to the origin, specific effects and uses of this thing, and then his gaze swept over a wizard in the audience who was hiding his identity.

The latter understood immediately and called out the price.

"Since there's no demand for the volcanic core, I'll offer two thousand soul stones."

The words fell.

The auctioneer announced loudly, "Someone has bid two thousand soul stones. Does anyone have a higher bid?"

Then.

A voice came from the dark room on the second floor.

"Hmph, you think you can buy it with just two thousand soul stones? I'll offer four thousand soul stones."

He had just finished speaking.

A mocking laugh suddenly came from the dark room next door, saying, "Heh, Charlek, if you're short on cash lately, I can lend you some soul stones."

We both know the value of a volcanic core.

You dare to make a move with four thousand soul stones?

I'll offer six thousand.

Unlike previous auctions where the bid increased by one hundred soul stones each time, the alchemists' financial resources were on full display at this moment.

After only two bids, the starting price of 1,500 soul stones has already jumped to 6,000!

Even the wizards who participated in the auction, despite their extraordinary backgrounds, couldn't help but marvel at the spectacle.

"As expected of the alchemist from the Floating City, he casually throws out thousands of soul stones; his wealth is astonishing."

"I couldn't come up with six thousand soul stones even if I emptied my pockets. I'm so envious."

Vic, meanwhile, watched from the shadows.

Although volcanic core is a first-class material, it is not used up all at once. It can be divided and used after purchase, so it is not hard to understand why it is so expensive.

He estimated.

To obtain this material, you would need at least 10,000 soul stones.

Therefore, he was not in a hurry to make an offer.

When the price reached its peak of 10,000 soul stones.

The other alchemists withdrew and stopped bidding.

Only the two who initially placed the bids remained, and they couldn't stand each other, so they kept raising the price wildly.

"I'll offer twelve thousand."

"I'll offer 14,000."

"Knicks! We have no grudge against each other, yet you deliberately inflate your price today. Are you trying to make an enemy of me?!"

The voice from the dark room was already filled with anger, shouting rebukes.

But the other party continued to mock and ridicule.

"No enmity? Hah, Charlek, have you forgotten about the time you sent people to secretly ambush me? I wouldn't have said anything, but you're trying to renege on your debt?!"

"What does it have to do with me if you get ambushed while you're out? Without evidence, your words are just empty talk!"

"You're asking for it!"

Seeing the two sides' aggressive demeanor, their mental pressure was overwhelming.

At this time.

A woman's soft voice suddenly came from the dark room next to Vic's.

"Since the two of you are deadlocked, why not do me a favor and let me buy it for 11,000 soul stones?"

I will repay you handsomely afterwards.

Although we haven't seen each other for many years.

But wizards have exceptional memories.

Vic frowned slightly. How could it be the Deep Star Queen's voice?

Both of them were members of the Night Raven Society, and their identities were kept secret from each other, known only to Grant and his confidants.

If they unexpectedly recognize each other at an auction.

This is disadvantageous to both sides.

The latest novel is first published here!

Vic simply adjusted his throat muscles to change his voice so that the other party wouldn't recognize him when he made his offer.

but.

This incident also served as a wake-up call for him.

Grant is always meticulous and thorough in his work; he would never make such a basic mistake.

Obviously.

The internal struggle between the Night Raven Society and the Eternal Merchant Guild has reached a fever pitch.

Someone wants to use this incident.

They would oust Grant and then seize control of the Chamber of Commerce.

Moreover, most of his confidants have already been bribed.

About it.

He would not stand idly by if his interests conflicted with Vic's.

Because of his status as a member of the Night Raven Society, he hasn't been there many times over the years, but every time he has a need, he has gained something.

He won't give up easily.

Afterwards, he would look for an opportunity to secretly warn Grant.

at the same time.

In the dark room opposite Vic, a pair of eyes were secretly observing the room where he and the Deep Star Queen were.

This person is none other than [name omitted].

It was the same young wizard who had previously spent Soul Stones at the entrance of the auction to incite Hill and another senior apprentice to fight each other.

This is completely different from the lawless spoiled brat image he presents to others.

Dark room.

This person, having toned down his frivolous attitude, sat expressionlessly on the sofa, like a stock trader, his eyes slightly narrowed as he looked down.

His wickedness far exceeded what others could imagine.

He had previously deliberately teased Hill outside.

The purpose was to test Vic.

As the son of a city councilor in the Sky City, he had already sent people to thoroughly investigate Vic's identity and resume, and he didn't even let Hill's matter go unnoticed.

The woman who could get Vic to help her must have a close relationship with him.

but.

After being probed at the door, he abandoned his plan to make a big deal out of Hill.

In his view.

Victor had some past connections with the now-extinct Thornflower family, which is why he offered his help.

otherwise.

His actions outside the door.

Vic couldn't possibly remain indifferent.

Thinking of this, he felt a sense of emptiness.

Lover, student, blood relative.

These are all a wizard's weaknesses.

Once he gets his hands on it, the matter of whether Vic wants to withdraw from the Night Raven Academy's quota will no longer be a matter of choice.

Thinking of this matter.

He felt a surge of anger.

Grant is truly unyielding, stubborn and unyielding. The power structure of the Night Raven Society is not to be changed; even if it expands, it will only extend downwards.

Even his request to join the society was rejected.

Humph.

Go against him.

act recklessly.
