Chapter 588 Fierce Competition

"Ladies and Gentlemen! I believe you are dying to see the main items of the auction appear. So as not to make you wait too much, I present to you, the finale items of today's auction, the much anticipated, two Super Realmbreaker Elemental Magic Spells!!"

The auctioneer announced in a loud, excited voice. Immediately, everyone in the normal sitting area, and V.I.P. private cabins focused. Ba-Dump! Ba-Dump!

The auction house had become so silent that you could even hear your heartbeat.

The auctioneer glanced at the crowd in front and the private cabins in the distance with a smile and waved her hand, causing two ordinary looking scrolls to appear in front of her, which then floated on her either side, releasing undulations of pure fire elemental mana.

...

Many people were disappointed to see these Super Realmbreaker Magic Spells were of fire element. However, the people who had awakened the fire element were bursting with joy.

In his private cabin, Oliver frowned. Although the chances of these so-called Super Realmbreaker Spells being Ice element spells were low, he still had hope. But now, he couldn't help but feel disappointed. However, he still didn't leave and very much wanted to buy them. After all, if the auction house' claim was true, these spells could change the entire structure of power. Since this was the case, it was better to buy and take them to the Sovereign mountain than letting someone else benefit.

Just like Oliver, others also had the same thought. That was why no one left. Others, who knew they wouldn't be able to buy them, stayed because they wanted to watch the exciting show and see how much money these spells would go for.

In a private cabin, Crown Prince Eric sighed, "It seems these Super spells aren't meant for us, Miss Lily."

Although she hadn't told him what element she had awakened, it wasn't difficult to tell it wasn't the fire element from the perpetual icy vibe she gave off.

Eric, however, was surprised when he glanced at her because she didn't seem disappointed. No, far from being disappointed, she seemed to be excited. This was the first time he saw Lily show any emotion on her face, and he asked, "Miss Lily, you... don't tell me you have awakened the fire element too?"

Lily shook her head, and said. "No. I have not. But the most important person in my life has."

Prince Eric was taken aback. He then smiled, "Then, congratulations, miss Lily. You have found the perfect thing to gift them." Lily nodded, and then turned to him, "I want to buy them. Can you lend me some mana stones? I'll pay you back soon."

Prince Eric laughed, and waved his hand, "You don't need to worry about paying me back, miss Lily. However..."

He hesitated before saying, "I'm afraid the amount I can give you won't be enough to buy them. Also, since the Royal family also wants them..." Lily frowned, understanding what he meant. After a while, she let out a disappointed and helpless sigh. She didn't want to let this great opportunity go. After all, If she could get these spells, her young master would become a lot stronger. However, she was helpless. If she had her spatial ring, she could sell some of the things her master gave her and buy the spells.

...

Max paused for a moment upon hearing the announcement before continuing to thrust his waist forwards and backwards, starting another round. Claire was just an early stage two-star mage, and wasn't able to handle Max. She was tired and wanted to rest. When she heard the announcement, she thought he would stop now, but when he started thrusting again, she couldn't help but complain.

The parties engaged in the bidding war stilled for a moment when they saw this. Although they knew the spell was extraordinary, they didn't know it was worth more than 50,000 mid grade mana stones. So, they hesitated. If the war wasn't ongoing, they wouldn't have hesitated like this even if the bids exceeded 100,000, but now, they couldn't afford to thoughtlessly spend their mana stones.

While they were hesitating, someone made another bid.

"60,000!"

"Hm?" In his private cabin, Oliver frowned before increasing his bid.

"80,000!"

In another private cabin, a young man in golden robes, who Max would immediately recognise if he saw him, was casually reclining on his seat. He was the young master of the Dalton family, Rael Dalton, who wanted to marry Flavia. A beautiful maid was standing beside him, occasionally feeding him grapes.

He was the one who made the 60,000 bid. But when it was increased to 80,000, he creased his brows.

"Tch! These people wouldn't let me have an easy time, would they?" He muttered before saying, "Increase it to 100,000."

The maid nodded and did as she was ordered, while her heart throbbed violently. These were 100,000 Mid grade mana stones, not low grade ones, but Rael didn't even flinch.

The corner of Oliver's lips twitched when he saw the bid. 'Is it the royal family?' His eyes flashed, and he hesitated. Although he was quite wealthy, he wasn't sure if he could beat a kingdom's Royal family in a bidding war. After thinking for a moment, he changed his bid.

"150,000!"

...

Seeing the bids increase, Prince Eric could not wait any longer, and made his first bid on the Royal family's behalf.

"200,000!"

The auctioneer was having a hard time containing her joy seeing the bids reach 200,000. Although the Sterling Auction house often sold things that exceeded 500,000 and sometimes even reached millions, she wasn't the one to host those auctions. When she was assigned to auction this sudden auction, she wasn't too happy because the sudden auction didn't usually generate enough income. However, when she heard two Super Realmbreaker Magic spells were going to be auctioned, she had calculated and expected these two spells to fetch over 500,000 mid grade mana stones, which made her happy because as the auction host, she would receive 1% of the total sales. Meaning, she would earn more than 5,000 mid-grade mana stones.

However, now she realized she had underestimated the value of these spells.

...

In her office, even Miss Akilah was also surprised. She knew the spells were valuable. If they were not, she wouldn't have lost her composure. But given the war situation, and the glaring problem of spells, she hadn't thought people would fight over them like this.

For a moment, she couldn't help but think, "Are these people stupid?" But she knew they weren't stupid. The level of importance of these spells for her and them was just different.
