Chapter Seventy-Five: Failed Bidding
The materials needed for the Death Energy Container are hard to find.
Originally, his plan was to make a few low-level ones to deal with for the time being, but anyway, he didn't bother, and it was a big deal to hold a few more ritual magic when the time came, and the effect would be the same.
But now that he has seen such a good thing, he will definitely not let it go, if he can get this skull, then he is confident that it will be transformed into a large death energy container, and maybe there will be some special effects, such as purification, compression, and so on.
The auction has begun, and the competition on the field is not too fierce, this kind of thing is often only needed by a small number of spellcasters, and it is useless for ordinary professionals and nobles to take it.
"Satuk, this thing is good, lend me some money."
After thinking for a moment, Sean turned to Satuk and said.
"No problem." Satuk grinned, he was now happy that the auction of the combination potion (20) not long ago went well, and he had already earned a few hundred gold coins just by sitting here for a while.
This is still a superficial gain, and those who buy the combination potion (20) will definitely need other stalls of the potion, so they will inevitably patronize the Scarlett family's shop, and the intangible profit that Satuk has obtained invisibly is even higher than this money.
"The price is as you shout, my Scarlet family can still afford this little money, and the interest is also free for you."
After receiving an affirmative answer, Sean took a deep breath and used a spell to amplify his voice and directly report a number.
"Five hundred gold coins!"
Sean's offer resounded throughout the audience, causing an instant commotion, and the original price of less than three hundred was raised by him in an instant, and those apprentice-level professionals were immediately cleared out of this round of auction.
But unfortunately, Sean is not the only one who has taken a fancy to this thing.
Not long after Sean's price came out, in the corner of the crowd below, a man in a black robe suppressed Sean's bid in a sinister tone.
"Five hundred and fifty gold coins."
Sean glanced down in some astonishment, and his mental power swept slightly, and he found that he couldn't see the reality of this person clearly.
It seems that this is either an apprentice-level professional who has used a special method to hide himself, or it is simply an apprentice-level.
"Six hundred gold coins."
Frowning, Sean continued to bid.
"Six hundred and fifty gold coins."
"Seven hundred gold coins!"
"Seven hundred and fifty gold coins."
"Something!"
Sean's fists clenched at once, the price of this skull is only about seven hundred gold coins at most, what the hell is this guy trying to do with such a high price.
"Eight hundred gold coins!"
Sean had a gloomy face, and with some anger he quoted his reserve price.
However, as expected, a bland "eight hundred and fifty gold coins" made Sean almost scold.
In the end, he still did not choose to continue bidding, this price has far exceeded the normal price of the skull, even at the auction, it is too much of a loss.
As the auctioneer struck the hammer three times in a row, the high-quality material was taken down from the booth by the waiter and handed over to the auctioneer.
"Do you know where this man came from?" Suppressing his anger, Sean turned to Satuk to ask.
The guy in the black robe didn't hesitate at all when he raised the price, and there was a high probability that he would be a trainee-level professional.
But since he wasn't invited to the box, he probably didn't live in Hogg City for long.
If there is a strange apprentice-level powerhouse in the city, a nobleman like Satuk will definitely try to contact him and find a way to pull him into his side, so he will know a little about him to a large extent.
Satuk frowned and said, "This person seems to be a trainee-level mage, and it is said that he is good at undead spells, and many nobles have tried to establish a relationship with him, but no one seems to have succeeded yet." ”
"Although this person seems to have just become a trainee, but an apprenticeship is an apprenticeship, not to mention that he is still a mage, and he should have a lot of gold coins on him, so it's normal for you to not be able to compete."
"That's right......" Sean's head bowed slightly, his eyes fixed on the ground, not knowing what he was thinking.
Such a high-quality material, although the price is not very expensive, but it is very rare, if you miss it this time, then I don't know when I will encounter it again next time.
For such a guy, if you negotiate with him and want to get that skull through a trade, the possibility is really not high.
That's just ......
A flash of inspiration flashed through Sean's brain, and a crazy idea was born.
"Mr. Evan."
Sean suddenly looked up at the apprentice-level assassin who was a little distracted on the side, and said in an inquiring tone, "More than two months ago, you said that you owed me a favor, and now I have something I want to ask you for help with, I don't know if it's okay?" ”
Ivan's gaze instantly became stunned, and Satuk opened his mouth slightly, as if he had guessed what Sean was about to say.
"If that guy is a mage who has just been promoted to the apprentice level, then the combat power is definitely not strong, after you obtained the dagger of the black rose, the explosive power has been greatly improved again, I don't know ...... against him"
Sean didn't finish his sentence, but Satuk and Evan understood the meaning.
In more than two months of contact, Sean knew that although Evan seemed cold and didn't like to talk at all, he was actually quite a principled person.
Although this request made by Sean was a bit excessive, it was not impossible to complete, and even for Ivan, who had recently been promoted to level 16, it was a very simple matter, and it would not take long to solve it.
However, the crux of the matter is not here, but how the Scarlett family will deal with the aftermath when that person dies.
After all, everyone knows that Evan is a descendant of the Scarlett family, and that person was attacked and killed after attending an auction organized by the Scarlett family, if this news is spread, it will be a big blow to the reputation of the Scarlett family.
"Sean, this matter is a bit troublesome, after all, we are the great nobles of Hogle City, if we ......" Satuk was obviously aware of this, and began to try to convince Sean to abandon the idea.
After all, although he inherited the title of the Scarlett family, he could not interfere much with his uncle's every move.
"All I need is that skull." Sean interrupted Satuk, "The rest is yours, I'm sure if you're prepared, it won't be much of a move to take out a mage who has just been promoted to the rank of apprentice, and you don't think it...... Is this a good opportunity to show your sword? ”
Sean's smile suddenly turned strange.
