Not only Lucas but everyone was surprised with the insane spending of the weapons pavilion.
Even though 20000 gold coins was not a huge amount, it was not a small amount either.
To be able to spend on all the auction items, was just a waste of money in the opinion of many onlookers.
As for the weapons pavilion, why would they care about others? They will say something all the time.
"Grayeye family can pay 3500 gold coins."
Until now, whenever the guilds were bidding, all the top families stayed silent; however, the item in front of them was a priceless treasure for those who are sending their youngsters. So, the Grayeye family was the first one to join the bid against the guilds.
"Honorwolf family - 4000 gold coins."
"Windcrusher family - 4100 gold coins."
Soon, the other two top families joined the bidding war as the price for the Life-saver talisman was escalated to the next level.
It didn't stop there as both the guilds and the top families continued their bidding because the price of a single advanced spell starts from one hundred thousand gold coins.
With the help of this talisman, not only their participant would not fear death and his chances of getting the basic, intermediate and even advanced spell would be increased.
So, they were willing to fork out all their resources for the talisman.
"Guild master, what are you planning to do by writing down those names?"
While the bidding war was going on, in the assassin guild's small chamber, the twins Killblade and Killslash looked at the guild leader Ghost snake and asked.
"This is called keeping track of all the resources in our surroundings."
The Ghost snake replied with a slight smile.
"What? Are you going against all the guilds and the top families?"
For some reason, Killblade was shocked by Ghost snake's words as he asked while squinting his eyes as though he was thinking something.
"Do you think we will stand a chance against them? They are the guild masters and the family heads."
Ghost snake scoffed at Killblade's words as he continued, "As long as we need something in the future, we can just check who has the item and use our methods to get them. It might be tomorrow or it might be a week later or a year later."
Assassin guild is the only guild that didn't get a single item in this auction so far and from the looks of it, they were not planning to buy the next items too.
"Understood, guild leader."
Both twin assassins nodded their heads before one of them asked, "Guild leader, what about the bulk order? Who are we going to assassinate this time?"
For the members of the assassin guild, 'Bulk order' is a generous mission and the rewards for it would be higher too. So, everyone looks forward to the 'bulk order'.
Killblade and Killslash were no different as they asked the guild leader about it.
"You will know when all the other assassins assemble in the guild. So, be patient."
Ghost snake didn't reveal what this year's 'Bulk order' was as he kept them in suspense.
'...'
The twin assassins were speechless as they continued to watch the bidding war.
In the mages guild's small chamber.
"Son, did you see that. That is the craze for our life-saver talisman."
Elliott was smiling from ear to ear as he told his son Felix.
"Congrats, father."
Felix was happy for his father and suddenly, he thought about something as he asked, "Father, why didn't you auction more items like rank 3 strength crystals?"
"Selling them here is the worst thing to do; instead, I will be sending them to the royal city's auction house where I can exchange for good cultivation resources; instead, of gold coins."
