Chapter 1318 Avalon Auction IV

"We can see that the everyone is excited but all of you might be wary that these are fake. I, myself, might not be a great magician but I will try my best to show you that these rune stones are true." The announcer stated as he picked the Blazing Shield Rune Stone and inserted mana into it.

A flaming shield suddenly appeared in front of the announcer that surprised the crowd. They did not expect that the rune stoen was that great. The fact that the spell immediately activated when he just inserted some mana into it meant that it is of the highest quality.

The empty mana stones used to create them has the best sensitivity. A rune stone's quality can be divided into Poor, Mediocre, Average and High Quality. The fact that a small amount of mana can create such a reaction meant that the materials used are excellent.

The Rune Stones became a hot topic as these are manufactured ones. Rune Stones are not known to be manufactured but now the people know that it can be done in Avalon. The fact that Epic Tier Rune Stones appeared here meant that it will not take long for legendary Rune Stones to appear.

Adrian surveyed the reaction of the crowd and could see that they are already losing their minds. He expected this when he added the Rune Stones as auction items. The Daemonio are really good at engraving like they said, and they only needed resources. Fortunately for them, the Daemos have lots of miscellaneous things that can be given to those in need.

"Since everyone is raring to get their bets on, I shall now reveal the price of the first Rune Stone which is the Blazing Shield Rune Stone. This stone will have a starting price of five hundred gold coins with an increment of fifty gold coins. You may now start your bids." The announcer stated as the bidding war started.

Rune Stones have great uses that is not just defensive measures so that the magician can protect themselves if they cannot chant. Rune Stones can also be embedded into weapons and armor to give them extra abilities. One can even say that a Rune Stone could be a hidden weapon to catch the enemies by surprise.

The ones that are eyeing the runestones are the gnomes because they build magitech golems that can be piloted. They want to have these Rune Stones in order to put in the magitech suits that they have made. The gnome kingdom delegation that came to Avalon via airship knew that they have to get the Rune Stones at all costs.

They want to get the Rune Stones in order to test if it can be used for their magitech golems. Should the gnomes accomplish this feat then they will definitely come to Avalon to custom order more Rune Stones. Adrian did not plan this as he only wanted to tell the world that his territory could produce rune stones.

"Going once... going twice... Sold to the Gnome Kingdome Delegation for 1,050 gold!" The announcer stated as the last one to give a bid was them.

"The next rune stone would be the Scorching Shot Rune Stone. I shall demonstrate this one first." The announcer stated as he inserted mana into the rune stone and created a stable fire ball in front of him.

The crowd could be seen very eager to possess this as this will be a new form of attack. Any type of magician will crave this rune stone for its attacking purposes. They could instantly cast a spell with just applying mana into the rune stone which is way better than chanting.

"The Scorching Shot Rune Stone will have a starting price of 600 gold coins with an increment of 50 gold coins. You may now start your bids." The announcer stated as the crowd went wild as they started to outbid each other. The loud voices of the rowdy crowd engulfed the auction hall as the voices of people drowned each other.

Just as the crowd below the VIP rooms are about to get rowdy, Adrian snapped his fingers and the gravity in the auction hall suddenly increased. He did not increase it to a terrifying degree but just enough to make sure that the people will not be able to move. All eyes suddenly landed on him as he returned the gravity back to normal.

"Dear guests! I know that the items might be something that your really want but please maintain being civil. You are able to shout against each other, but physical fights are forbidden in the auction hall. Please remember that there are other people with you in this room and any unwanted behavior could lead to harm." Adrian stated while releasing the aura of an Asmodian.

Seeing the lord of the territory stop them, the rowdy individuals started to calm down as they returned back to their seats. They do not want to get blacklisted in Avalon which is now considered a treasure trove of rare herbs and rune stones. The bidding returned back to normal, but the shouts of people could still be heard in the auction hall.

"Going once... going twice... Sold to the Gnome Kingdom Delegation for 1,500 gold!" The announcer stated as the last one to give a bid was them.

Just as Adrian expected, attack type runes are more expensive compared to defensive runes but that is only for runes that have common elements. Each of the elemental defensive rune stones are auctioned off at 500 gold coins while the offensive rune stones are sold at a starting price of 600 gold coins.

The Aqua Shield Rune Stone was sold for 1100 gold coins to the Gnome Kingdom Delegation. The Gnome Kingdome Delegation also got the Wild Torrent Rune Stone for 1650 gold coins. For the Pit Master Rune Stone, it was won by a player that is an expert miner for 1200 gold coins. The people did not think that the Pit Master Rune Stone should be that expensive, but they did not think that it was actually bought for cheap.

They would soon learn at a later date that the Pit Master Rune Stone was the perfect rune stone to mine for precious materials while keeping the user safe. It was also the best rune stone for those that want to preserve the ores or minerals in their perfect condition because of its functionality.

The Stone Shard Rune Stone was sold again to the Gnome Kingdom Delegation for 1800 gold coins. The price for this one was bigger because the size and quantity of the stone shards are almost on par with a legendary skill. Some people even aired their sentiments that the Gnome Kingdom Delegation is buying out the rune stones.

The Wind Sphere Barrier Rune Stone did not go to the Gnome Kingdom Delegation as it was bought by an Aeromorph Beastman player that has the appearance of an owl. The Wind Sphere Barrier Rune Stone was bought for a staggering 1,300 gold coins. The owl beast man also bought the Tornado Rune Stone for a price of 2,000 gold coins as the Gnome Kingdom Delegation really wanted this rune stone since it can summon a tornado which is a powerful force of nature.

"We now move to the Sparkling Light Rune Stone. For this rune stone, the starting price would be 1,000 gold coins with an increment of 50 gold coins per bid." The announcer stated which made the crowd gossip since this rune stone was only rare tier.

"It seems that the guests are not convinced why this rune stone is that expensive. I will demonstrate it myself." Adrian stated as he could see that no one was bidding for the stone.

Adrian then held the master control of the auction hall and cut off the lights. The only thing that they can see giving light would be the Sparkling Light Rune Stone. Adrian then supplied a small amount of mana in the rune stone, and it created a light that illuminated the room to a passable degree.

"It seems that all of you are not yet convinced with the demonstration then let me tell you that I only put a mana value of 1 into this rune stone. Another amazing fact is that this rune stone can store the mana for at least one hour." Adrian stated which made the people awe struck.

"I will now put 10 mana into this rune stone." Adrian stated and he did just that.

The moment Adrian inserted additional mana into the rune stone, the whole room became clear as day. The whole room became illuminated as if the sun was shining inside it. The most amazing fact is that the light did not seem blinding even if they stared into the rune stone. In fact, the Sparkling Light Rune Stone and the Dark Veil Rune Stone were the most expensive of all the rune stones to create.
