More than anyone else, Asalan, as a six-ring mage, may be more aware of the potential of the Nether staff on the auction table. But with the help of the Eye of Truth and Warning, as well as a wealth of arcane knowledge, Gordon knows not only how powerful the Staff of Nether is, but also the high-level magic techniques used in it.

It's a Ragundian staff. Its name is derived from Rogundy, a Grand Arcanist of the Magical Empire of Netherduran. Lorraine. The Grand Arcanist was also one of the people involved in the development of the Mithic Core. Seventy percent of the entire system of absorbing free source energy from the source sea and converting it into arcane energy was completed by him.

After successfully creating the Mithic core, Rogundi hoped to apply his own energy conversion system to other fields, not just to make the Mither core. Among the hundreds of whimsical ideas of the Grand Arcanist, one of the most daring ideas was to create a staff similar to the Mithic Core, which could absorb free source energy directly from the source sea.

An ordinary staff that can provide the wielder with a spell casting buff, and can also store a variety of spells like a magic wand, providing combat endurance for the mage. However, when the spells in the staff are used up, it is not only troublesome but also costly to replenish. If you can use a system similar to the Guò Mithic Core, absorb the free source energy, and then convert it into arcane energy with attributes such as force field, lightning, flame, strong acid, etc., through different magic circles, to charge the staff, this will greatly improve the usefulness and power of the staff.

But Ragundy. Until Lorraine died in an arcane reality, she had not fully made a staff that met her requirements.

Now, after a thousand years, the Ragundian staff that was dug up by adventurers and displayed in front of the world is only a relatively rudimentary trial work, and there are still many flaws. One of the questions. Although this staff can automatically absorb energy from the source sea, it can't stop the process.

In layman's terms, there is no "switch".

After a long period of energy absorption, the staff's energy storage system has already reached a critical point. The slightest external stimulus will upset the balance inside the staff, resulting in a violent and uncontrollable release of energy - the result of which has already been shown in the crystal ball.

This shortcoming is nothing to Gordon. He was confident that he could transform this imperfect Nether staff into a high-level staff that would suit his needs—at least, according to the equipment of the Ancient Ages. It has to be perfect.

For this staff, Gordon was bound to get it, so he didn't hesitate to follow up and shouted out the offer of three thousand five hundred gold coins that made Asalan's eyelids jump.

"Aren't you going to buy pink zinnia petals in a moment?" Faria asked, worried that Gordon didn't have enough money. "I still have some personal savings, about five hundred gold coins......"

"Thank you. I know you care about Sheona. But I've left three thousand gold coins for the pink petals. Enough is enough. Gordon said, his tone full of confidence.

"Three thousand gold coins, that's just the reserve price of the pink petals. Could it be that Baron Lavaletti fell for your human charm and was willing to sell you such a hot auction item at the reserve price? ”

"My dear Faria, I'm sure of that. You don't have to worry. ”

"......" The daughter of the Grand Duke was slightly stunned, and then put on a body language that most women would have: tilt her head, look into the distance, and say nothing. It means "too lazy to pay attention to you".

Gordon smiled knowingly. This eldest lady is able to do the behavior of "sulking", which is only an ordinary woman. It's really surprising and funny.

It is different from Gordon, who is in a comfortable mood and has time to joke with his female companion. When the offer of 3,500 gold coins was shouted, in addition to attracting a burst of admiration from the audience, it also made Asalan's breathing even heavier.

This is already the highest bid that appeared in today's auction.

"Before it's the turn of the final event, that hairy boy is so generous, he doesn't even raise the price like money, is he crazy?"

Asalan's hand under the table clenched into a fist. He couldn't wait to rush up immediately and beat up the kid who dared to stir up the situation...... No, as a mage, perhaps using dissociation to directly turn the other party into a pile of tiny dust is more in line with the identity.

"Three thousand six hundred gold coins."

This time the price is raised, and Asalan is not so confident. For this Nether staff, his psychological bottom line is four thousand gold coins. Although the funds in the dimensional bag are still sufficient, his main target in this auction is the pink whooping saffron petal.

Asalan was able to use that petal to make a magical potion called "Divine Thought". After drinking, it can greatly improve the mage's mental power and perception of the magic net within three days. Asalan, who has been stagnant in the Sixth Ring for more than ten years, hopes to be able to touch the seventh layer of the magic net with this magic potion, so as to truly enter the ranks of high-level mages.

After becoming a seven-ring mage, he is eligible for lich transformation. Although this is far from a perfect way to extend life due to the side effects, it is still very attractive for mages to transform into a lich. Especially when the vitality is withering and entering the dying stage, the choice of becoming a lich is not so bad compared to real death.

So, for the pink whooping saffron petals, Asalan is determined to get it. If he had to choose, Asalan would naturally give up the Staff of Nether. But if you can do both, that's the best way to do both.

Earl Thompson's Magical Advisor glanced at Gordon defiantly, and the latter returned a slightly sarcastic smile without showing weakness.

For the Staff of Nether, Gordon is also bound to get it. In his opinion, Asalan is now just bluffing. His price increase this time was only a hundred gold coins, indicating that the disposable funds in the other party's hands were running out.

So the young black mage decided to give his rival the final blow.

"Four thousand gold coins!"

It was another big price increase, which caused a burst of gasps in the hall. With 4,000 gold coins, you can already buy a mansion with a good environment in those prosperous first-tier cities of Ferredon. In the middle of nowhere, you can buy fertile land for a knight's territory. In the hands of ambitious nobles, the money was able to arm forty elite hoplites.

Now, however, someone is spending such a large sum of money to buy an ancient staff that is useless except for being very dangerous and exploding.

That's right, Gordon was a mage. But how much does a little four-ring mage know? It's probably to stand up in front of the beautiful lady around you, so you do such a ridiculous thing, right?

Gordon didn't have to listen carefully to the discussion around him, and he could guess the general content. But he was unmoved, just quietly waiting for the auctioneer to finalize the deal.

Asalan made no further bids, allowing Gordon to buy the Staff of Nether. For the first time, he picked up the goblet on the table and drank the golden sparkling liquid inside.

"Master Asalan, ...... you," Drington asked with concern.

It is not unusual for a mage, and a six-ring mage who has already entered the ranks of the advanced ranks with half a foot, to drink like an alcoholic for the first time.

"It's just a little thirsty." Asalan didn't explain much. Because anyone can see his depressed mood. Moreover, he didn't want to talk too much about Derlington.

As soon as the Autumn Hunt was over, the Wintertalon Legion's vanguard commander approached him and suggested that he was willing to join forces with Earl Thompson against Gordon.

At that time, the Earl said that he and the young mage of the Freeman family had not had a holiday, and he talked about what to deal with, and he beat Drington away. Then, fearing that Drington already knew something, Earl Thompson sent Asalan to make contact with Drington in order to find out something.

Although the two people sit at the same table and seem to be intimate, they actually look like each other.

Drington seemed to see that Assalan was wary of himself. He didn't care, but said enthusiastically, "Master Asalan, when you bid for that pink petal later, if you want, I can provide some help...... Well, 10,000 gold coins, is it enough? ”

Originally, he wanted to refuse Drington, who had nothing to do, but after hearing the figure of 10,000 gold coins, the mage's heart was slightly shocked, and he said in a ghostly voice: "So...... I would like to thank you in advance for your enthusiastic help. ”

If Earl Thompson saw this scene in front of him, he would definitely be angry and scolded: I sent you to test Drington, not for you to be bribed by him! But it can't be helped, the allure of pink petals is too great. In order to go one step further on the arcane path, not to mention an earl, even an emperor, he can also betray.

Gordon didn't know the subtle changes in the relationship between the two men at this table. At this point, he waited for the auction to continue, and at the same time suffered from Faria's complaints.

"After spending four thousand gold coins to buy a useless metal stick, do you still have the money to take a picture of the pink petals? You know, there's not just one person competing with you. If you don't buy it, what should Sheona do? ”

After sulking for a while, Faria couldn't help but want to ask Gordon about her plans for the future.

"Don't worry, didn't I say it, I still have three thousand gold coins in my hand. And your father gave me another three thousand gold coins, which adds up to six thousand, which is enough. Gordon was still in a good and unhurried manner.

"With such a sought-after auction item, I am afraid that the transaction price will more than double when the time comes." Falia really didn't understand why Gordon was so confident, insisting that she could buy the pink petals back with only a reserve price of three thousand gold coins.

"Don't worry, Miss. Xie Ona is your good friend and my sister who depends on each other. She was unconscious in her hospital bed, and I didn't want to see her even for a second longer. ”

Just as the two were talking, after passing several auction items. The pink petals of zinnia, which was the finale of today's auction, were brought to the auction table. (To be continued!)
