Gravity Mage with Level-Up System

Chapter 369 Part 4: Central Auction

From MC's Perspective:

"100 Million credit points," A loud voice attracts everyone's attention. The bidding price was so high that everyone instantly gazed in the direction of the top floor.

"Royal Force Hall," Few people exclaimed in surprise. How come they do not know about the Royal Force Hall? One of the three big academies in the capital.

Obviously they can afford to buy the auction items. Soon the commotion died down suddenly.

Back in the seat, a frown appeared in my face. How come that person got so much money? Is it similar to Senior Gilbert's method? Senior Gilbert received funds from the academy.

Looking at the auction item, I believe the golden soil is equally important to them.

Seeing that auction presenter Vivian asked again for bidding. But seeing no one dared to increase the price, the golden soil is sold to the Royal Force Hall.

Time passed in a blink of an eye,

After one hour, the auction came to a crucial point. I was quite surprised by the auction presenter. The snake blood hasn't come up yet for auction. It looks like someone deliberately placed it as the last item to bid.

Meanwhile, The bloodline wizard Ko's eyes are glancing around the participants. It's been one hour, but he hasn't found the trace of Gilbert Reese and that gravity brat.

But he knows it will be exposed when the snake blood appears.

At the same time, the dark league member is also waiting for an important item to appear. Besides, Black and Bucky are watching the auction in silence.

The next second, the auction presenter announced the name of the next item.

Vivian said,"Incomplete map."

Gasp!

The participants exclaimed in surprise. Because any map is considered a valuable and rare item. Even if it's an incomplete one.

For a moment, the audience were in uproar. Though most of them were affected by charm spells. But the appearance of the incomplete map made them even more mad.

Vivian liked the crazy response of the audience. She smiled and said,"Yes, it's an incomplete map of unknown ruins. The map is yet to be deciphered. So if anyone is interested in bidding they can start now."

"The basic bidding price is 5 million credit points,"She added further.

"6 Million credit points"

"6.2 Million credit points"

"6.5 Million credit points."

The people seated below started bidding. The price is increasing slowly.

Meanwhile, a tinge appeared in my heart. I don't know why? But the incomplete map piqued my curiosity. It's a pity that I can't buy it.

"Are you interested in the map?" Senior Gilbert's mental voice reached my ears.

I turned toward him and slightly nodded my head.

Gilbert Reese replied,"It's not easy to decipher the map. The people who are capable of decoding the map are working in the mage union."

"So it's unwise to buy the map unless you know about the map's secret."

A look of understanding dawned upon me. Senior Gilbert's words made a lot more sense. Though the incomplete map looks attractive, I guess no one will bid for a higher price in today's auction.

"50 Million credit points," From the participant, some raised the bid a lot higher.

Seeing that everyone was shocked. On the stage, auction presenter Vivian showed a bright smile on her face. She doesn't know whether her charm spell worked greatly.

But as long as someone from the participants increases the bid more. She will get a lot more salary in the end. Because it's not easy to make lower wizards to increase the bid.

Most of the participants stopped bidding after hearing the price. But few people noticed the person who raised the bid was not affected by the charm spell.

Which immediately attracted the attention of some big wigs.

The person is none other than a dark league member. Seeing that he wore a metal mask, the participants near him gave a disdainful look before returning to their position.

Black and Bucky are scared sh!t. Bucky was afraid of becoming the cannon fodder. Now people are looking at him with malicious eyes. He couldn't help but turn toward Black.

Similarly, Black's face turned ugly. He was wondering earlier. He knows the headquarters have sent this person for a reason. It's not just to deal with Vincent Carey but also for auction.

Now that dark league senior made his move. He knew he had to carry the incomplete map safely to the hideout later. Seeing that Bucky looking towards him in fear.

His mouth twitched. He can understand Bucky's worry. He himself is not sure whether he can carry the item back safely. He sighed inwardly before nodding his head in assurance.

On the auction stage, Vivian sold the incomplete map to the person wearing a metal mask. The dark league member successfully became a target in everyone's mind. Some people can't wait to snatch and kill when the auction is over.

Black frowned. He thought the senior would get up and leave. But he is still sitting. Does the auction have other items which attracted his attention? Black felt bad.

Meanwhile, dark league member was marked by few participants sitting below as well as from some of the V.I.P's

On the stage, the next auction item appears. Seeing that participants return to their usual position.

The auction presenter Vivian revealed a bright smile on her face before saying,"The next auction item is a rare one."

"It's time," Senior Gilbert's words reached my mind.

I sat up straight and looked toward the auction stage.

Under the eyes of everyone, Vivian revealed the auction item and said,"It's a single blood drop of a 6th order ancient mutant snake. This ancient monster is known to have gravity magic powers."

Gasp!

When she finished those words. A loud gasp rang inside the room. A few people got up from their seats in surprise. Though the blood drop of an ancient snake was already known to the world.

Because the name was released days before the auction. But still some people can't hide their bewilderment.

Seeing the shocking reaction of everyone. The auction presenter Vivian was satisfied. She then said,"As I said, this single blood drop is extremely valuable compared to other treasures. So the base price of the item is 100 million credit points."

Her words fell like thunderclap in everyone's ears. Some people felt absurd. Because the blood related magic items were mostly used by bloodline wizards.

And that too not all of the bloodline wizards can use the blood related magic treasures. The attributes need to be matched. Here the mutated blood has gravity attributes.

So apart from the wizard with gravity magic no one else can use this blood. That's why people below think the base price is ridiculous.

Buy only the bloodline wizard Ko knows that someone will definitely buy this blood. That's why he asked auction management to set a high price after severe discussion.

In this way, he can fulfill the task and at the same time can earn a large sum of money. A hint of greed flashes in his eyes. Now he shifted his gaze toward the audience.

He wants to see who is hiding among the participants.

Meanwhile,

"100 million credit points," My heart set off storms. Are you kidding me?

Even Gilbert Reese was stunned as well. His eyes flickered with calculative glint. From the beginning he felt something amiss about the auction.

Now the base price was set at sky high price. He feels someone disclosed Vincent's information to the auction authorities. Apart from Vincent, no one can make use of this snake blood in this country.

Now he feels tricked. He doesn't know who is manipulating behind the scenes.

Before he could think of anything else. Someone made an even higher bid.

"150 Million Credit points," A stern voice came from the Weapon Palace student's room.

Vivian on the stage shocked for a moment before recovering her expression back to normal.

"Weapon palace made a bidding of 150 million credit points, if anyone wants to bid further, they can raise the price," She said.

The atmosphere is pin drop silence. 150 million credit points? It's an astounding number.

Gilbert's eyes flickered with cold glint. The Weapon Palace's move now made him certain that something is going on.

As far as he knows there is no one in the Weapon Palace who can use gravity magic. So why did they increase the budding by 50 million.

My expression turned gloomy. Right now, I started to feel Plan B makes more sense. This is my original way. If Senior Gilbert increases the price then their identity would be exposed.

Then using this opportunity, the other two academies would deliberately increase the price again.

"What do you think?" Senior Gilbert's voice reached my mind.

Hearing that I wrote B on my thighs. Indicating that I'm for plan B.

Gilbert Reese smiled. He gave Vincent an appreciative look. Plan B is not easy. Vincent can think calmly at this moment. He is impressed by his decision.

Plan A seems to be impossible right now. The other two academies will definitely interfere. Because he too doesn't want to expose their identity right now.
