After telling a lukewarm joke and livening up the atmosphere, Baron Poli adjusted the black tie on his white shirt and announced loudly, “Now, I declare the start of the second session of the Viennas City Joint Auction!”

With the sound of enthusiastic applause from the audience, Baron Poli then initiated his specialty – Magic Projection.

Suddenly, under the star-speckled deep blue dome, the illusionary and dreamy atmosphere of the Starry Sky Auction House grew even more mesmerizing.

Next, an attendant walked out from the staircase of the auction stage, moving gracefully with professional poise, swaying her waist as she went.

At this point, Leo Ray could clearly see that the attendant was struggling to hold a long sword case in her hands.

“Wow, this beautiful attendant has reached the Tier 1 Peak level. She could easily take on two or three ordinary strong men with no problem. However, judging from her somewhat strained expression, the weapon in the sword case must be quite heavy, right?”

Feeling the energy emanating from the attendant, Leo Ray couldn’t help but show a slightly surprised expression.

On the other side, Baron Poli elegantly took out the weapon from the opened sword case and started to showcase it.

Under the illumination of the Light Crystal Stones embedded in the auction stage, a wide-blade sword with a fiery-red body came into view.

Upon closer inspection, this sword was noticeably heavier than the average one-handed sword, and the colorful hue it emitted was slightly red, resembling a weapon freshly taken from a burning forge – it looked quite unique.

As Leo Ray observed this, Baron Poli took hold of the longsword with one hand.

Accompanied by a “whoosh” sound, a fierce flame instantly surged up from the sword’s body.

Numerous sparkles scattered in all directions, illuminating the surrounding area with a red glow amid the flickering firelight.

Seeing this scene, nobles and wealthy merchants in the back rows couldn’t help but gasp in admiration.

“As you can see, this is a rather special magical weapon. By injecting energy into it, even a physically gifted warrior can unleash the flame-enchanted blade. ”

On the auction stage, Baron Poli continued to speak while gently swinging the longsword and tracing a scorching trajectory in mid-air: “With this weapon, you will gain an additional means to conquer your enemies in battle.

It’s even possible to catch them off guard and defeat them on the spot.

Furthermore, under specific circumstances, this sword can also serve as a torch or fire source, making it an essential companion for adventurers. With this magical weapon in hand, you will undoubtedly be the brightest star among your team.

Most importantly, this longsword has already attained Tier 3 Weapon level, and its various benefits are innumerable.”

With this, Baron Poli smiled and said, “The reserve price for this sword is 30,000 Gold Dragons, and each increase in price is 2,000 Gold Dragons. Please start bidding.”

Ding-ling-ling… Ding-ling-ling…

As soon as Baron Poli’s voice fell, the sound of ringing silver bells rose and fell around Leo Ray.

Listening to the crisp sounds around him, Leo Ray couldn’t help but reveal a thoughtful expression.

He had previously learned detailed information about magical weapons.

Although these exceptional weapons enable physically strong warriors to wield the magic attached to them, their practicality in battle is not very high.

Firstly, the magic attached to the weapon is weak, making it difficult to break through the energy shields of Tier 3 and higher-level warriors.

Secondly, activating the magic attached to the weapon also consumes a considerable amount of one’s energy, rendering the damage dealt disproportionate to the energy used.

As a result, many physically strong warriors disregard this type of magical weapon. With that extra energy, they would rather unleash their unique abilities more often.

Moreover, the energy fluctuations generated by magic can sometimes enable opponents to predict the trajectory of the wielder’s attacks, resulting in the plan backfiring.

Most crucially, magical weapons of the same tier are much more expensive than other weapons, making their cost-performance too low.

However, as Baron Poli said, magical weapons do have some practicality under certain circumstances.

“In short, this is a flashy yet not very practical, rare, and expensive weapon.”

Looking at the flaming longsword on stage, Leo Ray continued to ponder, “However, since it’s a rare weapon, I won’t miss it, as price is not a problem for me.”

With that thought, Leo Ray revealed a faint smile and joined the bidding fray. Thus, after five or six minutes of fierce competition,

Leo Ray ultimately secured the Tier 3 Magical Longsword at a price of 80,000 Gold Dragons, beating everyone else.

Following this, a series of ordinary Tier 3 Equipment items were successively presented on stage.

Leo Ray was all too familiar with the vast majority of them since these comprised the 30 items he had provided.

During this process. with his intervention.

each equipment piece exceeded 30,000 Gold Dragons in price, almost two to three times the market value.

After all, for these noble big shots, sometimes face-value mattered more than Gold Dragons.

Among them, a wealthy and plump noble in the back row emerged victorious,

bagging three of his own provided equipment pieces, his round face beaming with joy as he grinned from ear to ear.

Leo Ray, on the other hand, struggled to suppress a smile as he silently praised the man in his mind, just short of awarding him a certificate.

At the same time, Leo Ray successively won five other non-self-provided Tier 3 Equipment pieces, reaping quite a harvest.

“Alright, everyone, the rare items about to be presented on stage are the highlight of this auction. Esteemed guests, make sure to keep your eyes peeled!”

Baron Poli said with a grin, slowly opening another narrowly-shaped brocade box and adding mysteriously,

“For example, this precious item is a scroll that seals a rare Magic Martial Art:

Lightning Wind Chaser Slash!”

“A Magic Martial Art?”

Upon hearing this, a look of both shock and delight crossed Leo Ray’s face..
