Chapter 191 Auction ( 1 )
"What? Isn't that too difficult?" Calidia felt dismayed at this. She felt that there was no way for Vincent to pull out a Pseudo-Legendary Item or something similar after all. They were already lucky to earn so much money from the two products of their Beacon Magic Shop.
Furthermore, Vincent had also provided them with a magic item of their wish. He must've spent a lot of them just to give them decent equipment.
After using her own appraisal skill, she also realized that all of the items he provided are at Unique-Rank! Aside from that, if it's compared to other Unique-Rank that she knows, they were still at the top-tier probably comparable to the lowest kind of Epic Items.
"It's really difficult so we should inform him already…" Yasin helplessly said. He's also aware of how difficult it would be to win the top items now.
If they only need to look for Epic Rank items, they can still go to the black market and find some decent amount of them that they could purchase. However, Pseudo-Legendary item is extremely difficult to find.
Its value might even be greater than the rejuvenation pill or magus essence potion. As for it being equal to Celestial Weapon, it would really depend on the imbued skills it has and the celestial weapon's current condition.
If the Celestial Weapon to be auctioned is in very good condition, there might be people who would trade their two or three Pseudo-Legendary Items for that.
"I guess we really can't underestimate the allure of the Celestial Weapon, huh? But if it's really that valuable, isn't it weird that there weren't many members of the Tower participating in the auction?"
"Hmph… The Tower has its own storage of Celestial Weapons. The ones that will probably be sold in the auction house are the lowest quality out there. So the top officials of the Tower who can compete with the few business tycoons of this country won't be interested in it." Yasin explained as he finished drinking his glass of beer.
"I understand… I will inform Sir Vincent so he can be ready for the Auction. He may not be able to compete with the Celestial Weapon or the top 5 items on the list, but he might have a chance to get a few inexpensive ones that don't require a trade or something…"
"Alright… Now, tell me what mission you have this time…" Yasin said as he glanced at the small pouch tied on Calidia's waist.
It contains a sample of the Earth Energy Stone that Vincent was planning to sell immediately.

Finally, the day of the Auction arrived as Vincent went to the Nexus Auction House with Rem and Yasin as his guide.
The matter regarding the Cryogenic Sleep Chamber is not urgent so Vincent could delay it indefinitely. Professor Levent has had that item for years already so waiting for a few more weeks shouldn't be a problem.
Their group arrived at the twenty-third balcony where six people could fit but they decided to rent the whole area so they could have all the space for them.
This is not the best seat in the auction house as there are a few VIP rooms on the third level while the first level is for general admission where you only need to pay a thousand gold coins.
For this seat, Vincent had to show his identity card to confirm that he's a student of the First Tower aside from paying 60 Mana Crystals.
There are about 300 people participating in today's auction so the competition, later on, might be fierce.
It's a good thing that Yasin had informed Vincent beforehand about the plans of the seller to make trades instead of selling it for mana crystals.
"Rem… Can you tell whether there are other Celestials here?" Vincent casually asked while they are waiting for the auction to start.
"Yes… I saw five of them already."
"Eh? So many?" Vincent and Yasin were shocked. None of them noticed any Celestials at all.
"Huh? Over the last few weeks that we've been here in the city, I probably encountered two dozens of them already. However, they seem to have adapted well to the identities they made for themselves, so I didn't bring this matter up."
Rem said matter of factly.
Vincent could only smile at this as he could also understand her perspective. Anyway, it's not important right now as an old man in his sixties stood on the stage to start the event.
"Appraiser Thorn, he's a Tier 4 or Master Appraiser of the Nexus Auction…" Yasin informed the two.
He's actually feeling nervous right now since beside him is a living Celestial that he could only previously read in some ancient books. This is someone related to Qheglena, the goddess he's worshipping…
Yasin glanced a bit at Rem. Her aura, her scent, her voice, and her figure, he is trying to imprint all of them in his brain…
"There will be a total of 80 items to be auctioned in our 80th-anniversary event. I hope everyone will like this special event that we have prepared for a year… Without further ado, we now bring you the first item to liven up the mood."
Thorn said as he signaled for the attendants to usher the first item.
Hearing that the auction will start immediately, many of the people below cheered as they excitedly waited for the first item to be revealed. Normally, the first item is one of the most precious ones to be sold as they wanted to create a prominent impression that would last until the end.
As expected, the Nexus Auction House revealed a very eye-catching item in front of everyone.
It appears to be a large egg made of amethyst crystal. If seen from different angles, it shines with various colors making it extremely beautiful and expensive in their eyes.
Unfortunately, not many of them knows what this egg crystal was.
"This is an egg of a Runic Basilisk! A Magic Beast that lives at the Dreaded Subterrane! A team of Archmages and Arc Knights risked their lives to enter this dungeon and acquired this egg in the process. Once you purchased this item, we can also give you a free service. We will incubate it and hatch this egg in two weeks. If you desire it, we will also give you a slave seal to take control of this infant Magic Beast! The price starts at 3,000 Mana Crystals!"
