Chapter 320: Neuro-dimensional is Matrix Seed (Fixed)
This time, all three major forces within a thousand miles had gathered in White Dragon Overlord City.
Aelira, Michael and Nyxa exchanged glances and slightly frowned their brows. It seemed that the difficulty of their mission had just increased.
Tyrion also stared at the three forces; he noticed that the moment all three leaders arrived, everyone suddenly started staring straight ahead at the auction stage. Rays of light flashed in the depths of their eyes.
"These guys..."
Tyrion knitted his brows and also looked towards the auction stage as rays of light flashed through his mind.
"Are we waiting for the auction to start? What's caught everyone's attention?"
...
Shiiiii!
The speakers suddenly turned on, echoing a soft shrill sounds within the huge auction house. Many people sat up in an instant, straightening their bodies as they directed excited expressions towards the auction stage. They knew the sign — the auction was starting soon.
Numerous adventure teams had gathered in Prime Draconis Ridge. Each day, they hunted ferocious Dimensional beasts, while also searching for Dimensional Treasuries. Once the harvest passed inspection, most of it ended up at the auction house. All the good stuff within a thousand miles of Prime Draconis Ridge ended up at this particular one.
Many people had come here for that. After all, a High Rank Sacred Relic could save a life in desperate fights. To many of the smaller adventure teams, it was absolutely crucial. In the end, life is the most important.
When Aelira and the rest heard the sound, they also focused their attention. Especially Tyrion, who'd noticed the strange air between the three major forces; he paid extra attention.
Watched by a hall full of eyes, a fat middle-aged man in a completely dead dark suit slowly walked onto the spacious auction stage with a face full of smiles. He nodded his head towards the podium and said, "Haha. Ladies and Gentlemen, my name is Kairus, Chief Auctioneer of the Ether Vault Artifact Groups' White Dragon Overlord City auction house.
First, allow me to thank everyone on behalf of the Ether Vault Artifact Groups for attending this event."
"So, the auction house here is managed by the Ether Vault Artifact Groups." Aelira said softly as she heard the name.
"The Ether Vault Artifact Groups are famous in the Blue Swirl Continent?" Tyrion asked in a low voice.
Aelira lightly smiled. "The Ether Vault Artifact Groups are one of the three largest mercantile groups in the Blue Swirl Continent. What do you think? They possess powerful strength. Although the overlord of Prime Draconis Ridge is only really a local overlord — he can't hold a candle to the Ether Vault Artifact Groups."
Tyrion understood that. No wonder the Young City Lord of White Dragon Overlord City was keeping to himself over there.
At least the auctioneer named Kairus didn't get too long-winded with this speech. He made a quick transition and moved over to the main topic. With a wave of his hand, a sword case appeared onstage.
The sword case opened, revealing a three-meters-long green blade, rippling with a dense green luster. As the green energy poured out, it showed the image of a large green eagle on the blade. The eagle flapped its wings, creating wind blades, engulfing everything. Sonic booms sounded so loudly, it seemed as if the air had cracked.
This clearly wasn't a Low Rank Sacred Relic; there was even a Dimensional Beast's Demon art sealed within the sword. It wouldn't be weak.
"Haha. Ladies and Gentlemen's, this is the Ion-Thunder Hawk Sword. It's a Middle Rank Sacred Relic. Sealed inside is the Demon art of an Ion-Thunder Hawk Sword, with strength comparable to a Demonic Fighter. As everyone knows, the Ion-Thunder Hawk Sword is known for its speed. At its fastest, even a Fiendgod Stage expert would have a hard time hunting it.
It has now been refined into this sword, enhancing its power by several folds. If there's any friend here today who's an expert with swords, don't miss out on this opportunity!" Kairus said with his eyes narrowing as he smiled.
"The starting bid for this sword is 150,000 Gold relic coins."
The auction hall was briefly silent by such an expensive price. However, the lull was soon broken with all sorts of voices. A Middle Rank Sacred Relic with the Demon art of an Ion-Thunder Hawk Sword was indeed worthy of such a price.
The yelling continued around the auction house for several minutes, before slowly dying down. In the end, the "Ion-Thunder Hawk Sword" was sold for 190,000 Gold relic coins to a skinny middle-aged man.
Once the "Ion-Thunder Hawk Sword" had been sold, the atmosphere in the auction house gradually rose. The auctioneer Kairus was clearly experienced with these sort of auctions. Next came a series of decent quality items. Most were Techniques, all of those were High Rank Tiers. Each priced over a million.
Techniques were rather good treasures to many people of this area; however, Tyrion, Aelira, and the others who'd come from the Death Gate Academy would find them ordinary. Especially Tyrion, who'd seen a collection of treasures. It was harder for him to see much more value in these things.
"There's nothing good." Lara muttered. She clearly wasn't very satisfied with the quality of the auctions.
"Let's wait a little longer. The good things are usually towards the end." Aelira lightly smiled. She wasn't impatient.
Tyrion also nodded. He'd noticed that the members of the three major forces were still quietly seated. Even up until now, none of them had made a move. They were obviously still waiting for the better pieces to appear.
"Haha, the next item for auction is a little special. A team adventuring in the Prime Draconis Ridge managed to find it by sheer luck. By our appraisals, it should be an item left behind by a High Rank Neuro-dimensional Matrix Master."
On the stage, Kairus's pair of hands carefully held up a diamond box, the middle of which was decorated with a metal spheres. However, what confused everyone was the fact that none of them could sense any powerful Genetic energy rippling from it.
"Haha. Everyone, please don't underestimate this. If we've appraised correctly, then these should be "Neuro-dimensional Matrix Seed" that only powerful Neuro-dimensional Matrix Masters can create."
Kairus narrowed his eyes and smiled. "Only Neuro-dimensional Matrix Masters with extraordinary abilities can carve such complex and frightening Neuro-dimensional Matrixs onto this small metal spheres. When facing opponents, all they have to do is throw this "Neuro-dimensional Matrix Seed", which will instantly form Neuro-dimensional Matrixs. It's really mysterious and unusual."
From one of the front seats, the EarthCore Continuum Academy's skinny old man glanced at the rusty metal balls and sneered. "Hehe. Hey Kairus, it's true that these 'Neuro-dimensional Matrix Seed' must be created by High Rank Neuro-dimensional Matrix Masters. But you'll still have to check the level of the Neuro-dimensional Matrixs carved on these 'Neuro-dimensional Matrix Seed'.
If they turn out to be only Rank 1 or 2 Neuro-dimensional Matrixs, then, what's the point?"
"You'll also need a special method to activate them. Even if you have a 'Neuro-dimensional Matrix Seed', you won't be able to activate it if you aren't familiar with it."
Everyone in the auction house nodded as they listened. Kairus had been vague on purpose; he was clearly digging a hole and hoping that people would jump in.
"Haha, Valkar truly has a vicious foresight. No wonder you're an Elder of the EarthCore Continuum Academy." Even though he'd been exposed, Kairus wasn't enraged at all. Instead, he nodded and smiled. "These 'Neuro-dimensional Matrix Seed' are rather ancient. We invited a Rank 3 Neuro-dimensional Matrix Master to study them, but even he couldn't understand them.
The only thing he said was that these Neuro-dimensional Matrixs definitely surpassed his rank. It's true that they'll only serve the purpose of being decorations; but, of course, to some people, they could also be a formidable treasure."
"Let's not say any more. The starting price for this "Neuro-dimensional Matrix Seed" is 30,000."
"Hissss."
As Kairus's words landed, the auction crowd hissed. This guy hadn't even clearly stated the rank of the Neuro-dimensional Matrixs carved on these "Neuro-dimensional Matrix Seed" and was daring to ask for 30,000 for just one seed.
However, there was quite a number of Neuro-dimensional Matrix Masters among the auction crowd who were rather interested in it and started bidding. But once the price had reached 50,000, the voices quieted down.
"Haha, this friend over here has offered a price of 50,000. Is there anyone who is willing to go even higher?" Kairus smiled.
Tyrion stared at this particular "Neuro-dimensional Matrix Seed" and his eyes narrowed as a strange light flashed through his eyes. He used his system to observe the "Neuro-dimensional Matrix Seed"
This really was some good stuff.
A thought flashed over Tyrion's heart and he lightly smiled. "60,000."
The sudden sound in the quiet auction house attracted quite a bit of attention. So much so that even the members of the three major forces also turned their heads in his direction.
Even the white-clothed youth, with two beautiful girls hugging him, also lazily glanced at Tyrion. Then his eyes focused. A blaze was lit within his eyes.
