Chapter 1224: Auction House

Golden City

Devildom Auction House

A sea of ​​people could be seen entering the auction house building. Chat and whispers rang out among the people as they all discussed news, information, even rumors about the items to be auctioned tonight.

There would be a total of 110 items up for auction on tonight's occasion, with 10 of them being special items. The Tier 6 [Ifrit Veins] was deemed eligible and chosen to be in the group of special 10, while among the remaining 100 items, 12 of them belonged to Emery and the group.

The 100 items were showcased as a display for everyone to see before the auction started. However, the details of the 10 special items were kept under wraps until the auction began, and even then would only be revealed one by one every 10 items.

It was a tactic the auction house used to maintain mystery and suspense which then kept their customers excited until the end and gained the most profit.

Emery attended this auction with his friends – all four of them, even the Eastern Sage Fuxi came long with them. The grand magus' presence was not only to make sure Emery and the others didn't waste money on something useless but also to ensure their safety.

After all, the sight of a group of five Rank 9 acolytes holding several millions worth of artifacts would only invite nothing but trouble.

"Honored guests, please follow me," said a beautiful girl with long bunny ears wearing a slit dress, leading them to one of the two dozen VIP boxes at the top floor of the dome-shaped auction hall.

Despite being from a lower realm, the fact the group owned a dozen items qualified to pass the strict selection process and enter the auction confirmed their status. Knowing that the VIP box would give them extra privacy, the group naturally accepted the special treatment provided.

Entering the box, everyone quickly made themselves comfortable. There were snacks and drinks provided at the table, free to take. Overall, they were all enthusiastic for the start of the auction.

While the others did their own thing, Emery once again checked how much spirit stones he currently had in hand. The last thing he wanted to do was miscalculate how much money he needed to secure the Lightsaber he wanted.

The previous split of spirit stones gave Emery's pocket another 265,000. Coupled with two Spirit Gems worth 400,000 spirit stones, Emery had a fortune of about a million and a half which was divided into contribution points and raw spirit stones.

[Contribution points : 1,147,274]

[Spirit stone: 479,570]

It was certainly a pretty decent amount.

On the other hand, added with the contribution points they had, Klea and the others should have around a networth of two million spirit stones. That two million however did not include the share for the 12 items they put on auction and the 5 million ransom.

It was safe to say that they could spend all the spirit stones they had tonight if they wanted to.

After waiting for a while, the lights in the hall turned off, leaving only one illuminating the podium in the center for everyone in the hall to see. A man in formal clothes with two small horns on his forehead walked up to the podium and, after bow respectfully, greeted everyone present.

"Welcome, honored guests, to the auction of the Devildom Auction House tonight."

The horned man's gaze swept across the hall before a faint smile making its way on his face.

"I know that everyone here can no longer wait for the auction to start. Therefore, let's bring the first item from tonight's auction!"

Following the auctioneer's words, a group of strong men walked up to the podium pulling out a chain.

The first item was not a special item, but it still brought excitement to the audience as the auctioneer introduced what was within the huge cage. It was a beast of predator, a huge tiger with a length of 5 meters and a height of 2 meters. A beautiful golden stripe ran across its black fur, yet a ferocious aura could be felt from it.

[Legendary beast]

"A stunning creature that is descendants of the royals; A great beast for companions! Starting bid of 50,000 spirit stones!"

"I want that!" Klea's voice echoed in the VIP box, her eyes sparkling as she looked at the tiger.

As if she had met her soulmate, the Egyptian Queen fought tooth and nail on the bidding for the creature. Others couldn't even have a second before their bid was overwritten by hers. In the end, she became the owner of the tiger for 400,000 spirit stones.

While the auctioneer went on to auction the next item, Emery went out the box to accompany Klea who was excited to see the beast.

He inwardly heaved a sigh as he thought how they would bring back such a huge creature. However, as if knowing his worry, the tiger's body suddenly began to shrink. Transformed into a black cat with a golden stripe, it jumped onto Klea's shoulder with a meow.

Of course, such an adorable act immediately received Klea's affection.

"Aaa.. you are so adorable!" Turning her head, she asked, "She is so cute, isn't she Emery?"

"..."

To be honest, Emery couldn't see which part of it was cute. He saw the beast glared at him, giving him a hostile stare despite its shrunken form, yet when Klea turned to it, it immediately did a complete 180 as if what he had just seen was mere illusion.

"Purrrr... purrr"

Still, seeing how happy Klea was, of course Emery tried his best to be supportive.

When the two of them headed back to the box, thye were greeted by the sight of Julian aggressively placing his bid. The aggressiveness displayed by the normally calm Roman couldn't help but make them curious as to what kind of item was being auctioned at this time.

It turned out to be the first special item in tonight's auction, and in order to win this item bidding battle, Julian spent 1,6 million spirit stones – nearly all the wealth he had. However, Emery could clearly see the happiness when the metallic box filled with small human-shaped figurines made its way to his friend's hands.

[Praetorian Guards]

Despite its unassuming appearance, the metallic box – or rather, the human-shaped figurines – was actually a tool of war. The five thousand figurines inside the box were actually metal puppet soldiers, each possessing a battle power that gradually increased along its master's growth.

Basically, it was a perfect item for Julian who was a master commander.

Even the Eastern Sage nodded his head in approval, impressed with Julian's decisiveness in buying the time.

The eleventh item was quickly introduced by the auctioneer, but did not interest anyone in the group. The lukewarm reaction continued for a while until the twenty-second item which was the second special item of the auction was introduced.

It was [Necromancy Book], an item that would be powerful as well as incredibly helpful in the hands of someone who comprehended the Law of Death.

The third special item of the auction caught Julian's eyes as it was a Tier 6 hammer [Wrath of Hephaestus]. Unfortunately, even though he wanted out, the Roman did not have enough spirit stones after buying the metal puppets.

On the other hand, the Thracian looked annoyed. A third of tonight's items had already been auctioned off but something that caught his eye had still not appeared. He couldn't help but feel that there would be nothing for him to buy.

"Argghh! A spear! I want a new spear! Why isn't there any?!"

More items came shown by the auctioneer and everyone waiting with excitement
