In Type-Moon, it all starts with adopting Sakura.

In that brief moment, Kenneth's heart nearly leaped out of his chest, but thankfully he managed to catch the container unharmed. This scene made all the magicians watching, including Euryphus and Bartholomew, green with envy. Kenneth, terrified, quickly stuffed the Magic Eye into his pocket, fearing these guys would snatch it away.

The next moment, their attention was drawn to Rowe again.

Because at the feet of Luo Wei on the high platform, twelve brand-new containers appeared at the same time.

"While a gem-grade magic eye is precious, there is only one of each, which is a bit stingy."

Then, with a smile, Luo Wei continued, "Since everyone has come all this way, as the host, I should at least do something to ensure you all have a good time. So… of the twelve pairs of magical eyes beneath my feet, six are of the Gold rank, and the rest are all of Noble Color. These will be auctioned off right here tonight. As for the Gem-grade magical eyes, those are not for sale. However, I am absolutely certain that everyone has a chance to obtain them. But the method of obtaining them is not through auction, but through a bet. If any of you can beat me in the agreement I propose next, you can take the Gem-grade magical eyes."

"And to be honest, besides the pair I gave to Professor Kenneth, I also have two other pairs of gem-grade magic eyes. If anyone wants them, feel free to participate; everyone has a chance!"

"!!!"

Like a stone thrown into a still pond, it stirred up a thousand waves, as Luo Wei's words fell.

At this moment, the atmosphere at the scene had reached its true peak and its ultimate height.

He continued, "Any magicians who are interested, please send your representatives up to the second floor. I will be waiting for you there. However, please note that this bet has specific requirements. While I am generous, I will never accept anything for nothing."

After saying that, Luo Wei stood up and walked to Barthemello's side. He whispered something in her ear, which made her nod slightly and agree: "Alright, then the Barthemello family will be in charge of the auction. I'm also looking forward to seeing how well you can do it."

"Well then, thank you very much."

Seeing Barthez agree, Lovi returned the smile. Then, to everyone's astonishment, he bent down slightly, his hands moving gently in the air. Magic, like a materialized golden stream of light, rapidly gathered and swirled beneath his feet.

In the blink of an eye, a series of dazzling golden staircases materialized beneath his feet. He slowly walked up to the second floor, leaving behind only his unforgettable silhouette in everyone's eyes.

Regardless of the outcome, starting tonight, the name Lowe will surely become known among magicians.

The proposed bet also piqued everyone's interest.

Similarly, they crave the Magic Eye, and Rowe also hopes to achieve one of his goals through this event.

It could be said that they were constantly scheming against each other.

And this unprecedented forbidden feast continues unabated.

Chapter 153 An Impossible Bet

It's over. This exciting debut has finally come to an end.

In a daze, it even makes people feel as if they have experienced a dream, which feels unreal.

Although we don't know how this banquet will ultimately end, there is no doubt that after tonight, the name of Luo Wei will spread throughout the entire mystical world at an unimaginable speed.

Whether in the East or the West, whether it's the old magician who has been hiding in a secret realm for many years, the castle in the Nordic region, or the twenty-seven ancestors in the Demon City, all will be alarmed by this bombshell news.

The history of the Clock Tower, the Magic Association, and even the entire mystical world must record what happened today, to document this important moment.

Rita Rojaan, who also participated in this history and was portrayed as a monster defeated by a hero in a mythical tale, ultimately losing all her treasures, is likely to be removed from the list this time and placed on the pillar of shame among the Twenty-Seven Dead Apostles.

After all, if someone were sealed or killed by an agent of the Burial Agency using a relationship of mutual restraint, it could at most be considered a matter of compatibility. Even if it was undignified, it wouldn't be considered a disgrace. After all, there were more than just one or two of the Twenty-Seven Ancestors who had been sealed.

However, being killed by a magician from a non-burial organization and having all her assets stolen and publicly displayed was truly unprecedented for Rita Rojaan, setting a very shameful precedent.

A mere "Priest" and a "Grand Master" who was not good at fighting managed to kill her, the holder of the Rose Eye, who inherited the Blood Ring of the Principle and possessed mythical-level power and was at the highest level of the Gemstone rank.

How shameful must one be to do such a thing? Moreover, the twenty-seventh Dead Apostle who knew Rita well also knew that this guy had taken a shortcut by imitating Anashu and had already created his own Reality Marble.

In other words...

The progenitor of the Dead Apostles, who had lived for hundreds of years and possessed a unique protective barrier, was killed by two magicians on his own territory.

If such words were to spread, the White Winged Duke, the nominal King of the Dead Apostles, would definitely kick out Rita Roggen, that idiot who lowered the bar.

However, Rita, who was being held captive in the dungeon by Lovi like a fish watching an animal, was completely unaware of the drastic changes that would occur in the outside world starting tonight.

And along with the confirmation that 'Rita is the biggest joke in the 20th century's mystery world,' came the debut of 'the most dazzling newcomer of the 20th century.'

Regardless of the specific outcome.

If the sole aim was to make a name for himself, then at this moment, Rowe has already exceeded everyone's expectations. He has successfully brought his name, his family's name, even the El-Melloi School, and the entire aristocracy to the forefront, all witnessed by the monarchs and magical families of the Clock Tower.

The bet he mentioned attracted magicians like moths to a flame.

After all, what Lo Wei photographed this time were two pairs of "gem-quality" level magic eyes.

Even though he only showed one pair, and even gave it to his teacher.

But no one doubted that what he said was false.

After all, as the next successor of the El-Melloi School, Lovy Crowley would never risk damaging the school's reputation by doing such a thing. Therefore, most of the sorcerer families wanted to participate in this bet to gain a chance to obtain the "Gem Eye".

Even though Kenneth had just acquired a pair of gem-grade magic eyes and was feeling quite pleased with himself, he still thought Rowe had gone mad.

Although he knew that Lowe must have made a fortune on the Mystic Eyes Collection Train, he never expected that Lowe would actually possess multiple Gem-grade Mystic Eyes.

If I had known beforehand, I would have definitely stopped his reckless behavior. Instead, I would have thrown out most of the Noble Colors as a smokescreen, distributed most of the Gold-level Mystic Eyes to nobles and other magical families that I could win over, and secretly kept three pairs of Gem-level Mystic Eyes for myself.

Luo Wei should use one pair himself, borrow one pair for personal use, and keep the other pair as the family's greatest legacy. Only such an arrangement would be the most profitable, rather than showing off three pairs of gem-grade magic eyes and starting chaos in the world.

However, after seeing this atmosphere, Kenneth knew that it was impossible to stop this from happening.

The reason why Luo Wei didn't tell him was to prevent himself from stopping him. Now that he has revealed all his cards in the name of the aristocracy, stopping him would only make the aristocracy lose face. Moreover... the magician who can see into the gem-level magic eye is definitely not just an outsider, and the insiders would never give up.

Just like the trembling hands of Euryphus beside him, clearly indicating that he was ready to participate in the bet, Kenneth was powerless to stop him.

Watching Lo Wei's figure leave, Barthezmero ascended the platform and began to personally preside over this unprecedented impromptu auction.

Although none of the magician families present were uninterested in the two pairs of Gem Eyes, only a few dozen were ultimately willing to go upstairs.

After all, many magical families are very self-aware; they don't believe they can compete with the monarchs, and Luo Wei has also put forward the condition of qualification verification.

The stringent requirements alone eliminated 90% of the magical families present. Of the dozens of people who intended to go upstairs, only eleven ultimately passed.

Although some families below were indeed eligible to participate, they ultimately chose to maintain a cautious approach.

After all, there's no such thing as a free lunch.

Is that junior on stage really the kind of person who would risk using magical treasures for a thrill?

Who dares to draw a conclusion on this issue? But to put it another way, as the next successor of the El-Melloi school, he is also a rising star adored by aristocracy, and those behind him will absolutely not allow him to continue to act recklessly.

The arrogance expressed in these words, along with the bet, is highly likely a trap set by magicians from other factions, based on the other party's belief that they are certain to win or have a very high probability of winning.

Moreover, since it's a bet, and Luo Wei is betting on a gem-grade magic eye, then similarly, the receiving party must also offer chips of equal value to the other party.

So, what exactly is equivalent to a gem-grade Mystic Eye?

Is this their fate?

Of course not.

None of the magicians present were arrogant enough to think that their lives were comparable to the Gem-level Magic Eye.

So what does Lo Wei want?

Without a doubt, it was everything they had, the most important accumulation of demonic cultivation within the entire family.

While such rules are very common in betting, and there's nothing inherently wrong with equivalent betting, using such stakes is truly a death sentence for their family.

The demonic families all love to hide and are fascinated by mystery.

This is especially true for monarchical families with long histories.

They might actually possess items of value comparable to "gems," but they usually hide them in their coffins so no one will know.

That thing is truly your lifeline.

What if this is truly a trap set by aristocracy?

That means they are gambling with the lifeblood of their family to acquire a new foundation.

Is it worth it?

If we only consider the monetary value, then winning would certainly be worthwhile. But losing would mean becoming a sinner to the family.

Therefore, some magic families do not have a great need for the Magic Eye.

Those families who were reluctant to accept the loss but unwilling to take the risk rationally chose to withdraw from the bet.

The twelve pairs of demonic eyes that Luo Wei brought out became their new target.

Although it can't compare to "gems," if I can manage to bid on "gold" or "Noble Color" this time, it will definitely be a worthwhile trip.

So, apart from a few nobles who didn't care about the stakes or who had a gambler's mentality and had already figured out what it meant to "win everything or lose everything" and chose to accept Rowe's bet, the rest of the magicians all advanced their money and chose to participate in this unprecedented auction.

After the initial screening of dozens of participants, only nine magicians remained. They then followed Rowe up to the luxurious, pre-prepared conference room on the second floor.

Although he had already obtained the "Gem" level Mystic Eye, Kenneth was worried that Rowe wouldn't be able to handle the situation, so after entrusting the auction to Reines to buy the items for him, he hurriedly ran upstairs, leaving Reines completely bewildered.

How is she supposed to film such a scene where so many magical families are gathered together?!

And didn't she remember that the El-Melloi School was already in deficit?!

……

On the second floor of the castle, pushing open the heavy solid wood door of the study, an elegant atmosphere wafts out, as if stepping into another tranquil world.

The interior space is quite spacious, about 50 square meters, and the high ceiling makes the whole room feel even more open. The floor is covered with a dark brown pure wool carpet, which is soft and warm to the touch, and the delicate patterns on it seem to tell the story of time.

In the center of the study stands a desk crafted from rare mahogany, its lines sleek and its color warm and inviting. Various stationery items are neatly arranged on the desk, a crystal paperweight refracts the light with a dazzling brilliance, and a vintage desk lamp casts a soft glow, adding a unique charm to the space.

The furniture in the room maintains the retro style of medieval England. Even with the hazy light from the crystal chandelier hanging overhead, it is enough to show the luxury of this study. Rather than a study, it is more like a meeting room for nobles.

On either side of the room, two rows of soft sofas had already been carefully arranged, creating a private area for visiting guests. In front of the sofas was a coffee table, made of warm natural marble and an exquisite metal frame, with a beautiful tea set on its surface.

Clearly, everything that happened was pre-arranged; Lowe had prepared this so-called earth-shattering wager before he even arrived.

Upon entering the reserved study, Luo Wei, as the initiator, naturally took the lead and walked unceremoniously to the main seat at the mahogany table. He then sat in the prestigious position that should have belonged to the king hundreds of years ago, and the nine people sitting below him were the final "challengers".

It's hard to imagine that a mere priestly magician could sit before most of the monarchs at this moment, and even look down upon them due to the difference in seating positions. Such a fantastical scene is actually unfolding before my eyes, especially within an aristocratic society that places the utmost emphasis on bloodline and status.

At this moment, due to the special circumstances, even Kenneth dared not utter a single word of dissent. The monarchs and members of the magical families who had entered also did not say much, but instead found their places and took their seats.
