Chapter 202 Threat
The lightweight floating ship was obviously a luxury vehicle at this point.
The crowd was instantly drawn by the exquisite design of the silver medallion as they could only imagine the beauty of this new floating ship design.
"This new type of floating ship was developed by the 5th Tower! It has a completely different layout and wasn't just a smaller version of a passenger ship. Its outer appearance is like the Vermillion Hawk making it capable of flying higher and faster than the passenger ships that you all know. Furthermore, this special airship only had six copies made by the 5th Tower…"
Velvet explained as she saw the curious gaze of the bidders on the first level.
She then informed them that there will be a standard lightweight floating ship to be sold in the market which could carry 15 people. The design is unlike the elegant Vermillion Hawk but more like a smaller floating passenger ship. It will happen in the next two weeks so having the Vermillion Hawk Aircraft would give them a certain status as well.
? "Since the Artificer Department of the 5th Tower is the seller, they do not need a huge amount of money. Instead, they wanted Magic Tools or Artifacts! The more the better! If you want to participate, call for a servant near you so you can be provided with a pen and paper where you can write the Magic Tools you want to use as your bid…
Remember, you only have one chance to bid for this Vermillion Hawk. The list with the most valuable magic tools and artifacts will be the winner! Oh, don't worry about the ones at the third level. They won't be participating in this bid since they could easily order a customized ship with their status. Now, you have 15 minutes to list your bid!"
As soon as Velvet said this, many of those on the second level heaved a sigh of relief. They were aware of their own status after all. They know that they are lacking compared to those in the VIP room and even if they were given a year to prepare for this, there was no way they could win against them. However, since these VIPs are excluded from this bid, many of them realized that there is only one threat…
The Number 56!
This number flag acquired the barbarian king's eyeballs, the soul-forging skill manual, a set of mana upheaval and harmonious potion, an interspatial ring, and lastly, the Tier 4 Rejuvenation pill!
His wealth is definitely comparable to those in the VIP rooms!
'Perhaps, the VIP rooms were just not enough so he was placed at the second level… Ugh~ His group should be in the third level and can't be allowed to participate here…'
'What do we do?'
'Don't worry, he probably spent most of this Magic Artifacts by now. We can win this… This time, the seller is asking for a huge number of Magic Tools after all.'

"Have you found out his name?" A young woman wearing a white Magician Robe and has long black hair asked in an impatient tone.
Her frowning face started wrinkling but her face still looks undeniably beautiful. There were no blemishes on her skin and finding faults in her appearance is incredibly difficult. However, she doesn't exude any charming aura right now as she seems to be angry due to some reason.
"Master Seia, we already confirmed that the Number 56 group was led by a young man called Vincent. He's studying at the First Tower's academy in a special class. His background is completely unknown aside from being recommended by Grand Magus Turhan." One of the young woman's female servants reported with dismay.
Since Vincent has a Grand Magus as his backer, it will be difficult to pressure him to give up the Tier 4 Rejuvenation Pill. It was just a pity that they didn't have a Pseudo-Legendary item that could withstand any mind-controlling abilities.
The young lady who has been called Master Seia could only sigh as she looked at her group.
This female group of five is currently at the second level of the Auction House. They were Number 60 and have only been able to win a couple of items with their current wealth.
"Tsk… Let's think about him later… For now, inform every junior of our Alchemist Union to come here. Instead of bidding separately, we should work together and gather all the magic tools that we have. This is probably the reason why they allowed fifteen minutes to list the items. They wanted us to work together and get more…" Seia suggested as everyone's eyes lit up.
"That's a good idea! With this, we can certainly obtain this newly designed airship… We can just pay them with Tier 3 or Tier 4 pills or perhaps, we can give them a new cauldron or pill furnace manufactured by our Brilliance Alchemy Shop…"
One of Seia's subordinates agreed with the plan as she immediately ordered someone to call the other lower-ranking members of the Alchemist Union.
Of course, they weren't the only ones who have thought of this idea as the others quickly found a few people who are willing to purchase their Magic Tools. These people are mostly at the first level as they didn't think that they have a chance to win the bid with their measly items.
Nevertheless, they realized that the others might want to increase the number of their item possession so they decided to sell and earn quick money instead. Some of them were even able to sell their Magic Tools for almost triple their price!
The Auction House became very busy as everyone was trying to do their best to earn money or get a chance to obtain the Vermillion Hawk Aircraft.
These actions were seen by the managers of the event but decided to just let them do it since their auction house will be the winner if they obtain a lot more.
Suddenly, Velvet spoke with her charming voice as she took everyone's attention for a moment.
"Ehem… Although the 15 minutes I provided weren't over yet, Number 42 has already submitted their list. Normally, we won't be announcing their bid but they requested to announce it on stage so here I am. It has 16 Unique Items, 4 Epic Items, and 1 Pseudo-Legendary Item. If what you're trying to submit is lesser than this, you can try to forget about it to save your time and money."
