One month later, Sophia and Morris were recognized as outstanding new students at the school due to their excellent performance. They both received an invitation from the school. After dressing up carefully, they followed their mentor Alex into the exclusive auction venue of Noah Academy.
Teacher Alex was wearing a cloak that fluttered in the wind, creating an elegant and mysterious atmosphere. Beneath his feet, a magical circle shimmered, and Sophia and Morris followed closely behind, passing through a hidden secret door.
Behind the dark door is a huge auction hall, decorated in a very luxurious manner. Glittering crystal chandeliers hang from the high ceiling, while the walls are adorned with various magical patterns and some murals from Western mythology.
"Welcome to the secret-sponsored auction by Noah Academy. Every item here has been personally collected and acquired by our academy's graduates, and has been appraised by professional appraisers," greeted the elegantly dressed staff member with a professional smile.
Morris was shocked, thinking that this is the reason why Noah Academy can contend with Three Empires. In addition to having a lot of student connections, they also operate many side businesses. With such advantages, it's no wonder they have an unshakable position on Noah Continent.
The service staff guided them to a spacious corridor adorned with famous paintings and decorations, with a luxurious red carpet on the floor. Finally, they were led to the innermost room, where the respectful staff opened the magnificent door.
Sophia Looking around, there were about a hundred people, of all ages and both men and women, each with an extraordinary presence. Not a single one of these people was not a noble or a person of high status, such as a duke or a landowner.
Each seat at the banquet was carefully crafted from rosewood, with silk curtains separating the seats. Beside each spacious chair was a small table, on which were placed exquisite snacks and drinks for the guests to enjoy.
"What a beautiful place," Sophia couldn't help but exclaim, her blue eyes filled with curiosity and excitement.
Morris, on the other hand, observed his surroundings with his blue eyes, showing a hint of seriousness. "It's really impressive."
Alex smiled and nodded, "Not only are there powerful magical items here, but also all sorts of strange magical beasts and other valuable resources. As a wizard, you can not only purchase practical items, but also gain a lot of related knowledge."
"I will help you purchase suitable weapons and equipment on behalf of the school. Of course, if there's something you like, you can also bid for it. The school will cover all the expenses. You can watch me demonstrate first."
After the auctioneer took the stage, the entire hall fell silent. He held a small golden hammer and began to introduce the first item up for auction with a smile - a magic wand set with a ruby.
Once everyone was seated, the lights dimmed and the auction began.
"Hello everyone, I am the chief auctioneer Noen Shilank, and I am very pleased to be of service as the host for tonight's auction. Let's begin directly with the first item up for auction!" The host bowed in the direction of the audience before starting to speak.
As the auctioneer took the stage, the entire hall fell silent. Holding a small golden hammer, he began to introduce the first item up for auction with a smile - a magic wand adorned with rubies.
Noen Shilank explained, "This staff is specifically crafted for fire elemental mages, and the ruby enhances the effectiveness of fire magic."
"This magical staff is named 'Flame of Passion,' and it was handcrafted by the renowned mage Azrael. Not only that, it also possesses the unique ability to transform fire elemental magic into life energy. At critical moments, it can save your life."
Sophia listened attentively, thinking, "This kind of staff will definitely enhance the power of fire magic." Meanwhile, Morris thought, "If I, with elven lineage, could possess such a staff, I could fully unleash my talents."
As soon as the auctioneer's voice fell, people in the hall began bidding with raised paddles. But both Sophia and Morris could feel that the "Flame of Passion" had an indescribable connection to them.
The auctioneer tapped the table with a small hammer and then announced the second item up for auction: "Ladies and gentlemen, the next item to be auctioned is the Spear Sword of the Storm, a powerful magical weapon."
"The sword is named 'Spear Sword of the Storm' and was forged by the renowned blacksmith Leaos using meteorite iron. It possesses the thunder element, capable of releasing high-voltage attacks. Each strike can absorb a portion of the opponent's magic power. Moreover, when the user's magic power exceeds that of the opponent, there is an extremely small chance of triggering a one-hit kill. Additionally, it comes with self-enhancement and self-repairing effects, making it an extremely rare and valuable weapon! Together with the earlier 'Flame of Passion,' it will be auctioned off with a starting price of four hundred gold coins, with increments of no less than one hundred gold coins!"
Alex glanced at Morris and saw the determination in his eyes. In any case, these two weapons must not fall into the hands of others. Alex raised the auction paddle, ready to participate in this intense bidding war.
These two weapons not only possess powerful magical abilities, but more importantly, they seem to have been specially designed to complement Morris. The "Flame of Passion" allows Morris to use fire magic more flexibly, while the "Spear Sword of the Storm" helps him excel in close combat.
Under the guidance of the auctioneer, the bidding became increasingly intense. The numbers continued to climb, but in the end, these two precious auction items fell into Alex's hands for a price of seven thousand five hundred gold coins.
The auction is in full swing, with all kinds of rare items being auctioned off, including ancient scrolls, various weapons, and even some rare magical beasts.
"Look over there, that's a five-star Thunder Lion," Alex pointed to a lion bound by magic, emitting thunderous energy all over its body. "If a lightning magic user could tame it, they would gain significant assistance."
"Wow, that's really cool!" exclaimed Sophia.
"Not only that," Alex continued, "these magical beasts can also form a spiritual bond with you, becoming your most loyal companions and protectors. Magical beasts of six stars or higher can even share magic and experience with wizards, speeding up your spellcasting."
Morris raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are there any limitations or costs to such a contract?"
Alex solemnly replied, "Of course, every contract has its cost. After making a contract with a demon, you must also provide it with magic as the energy to maintain the contract. And if you cannot meet its demands, the contract may break."
Sophia Quietly thinking to herself, this kind of contract really comes with both opportunities and risks.
"I understand," Morris said thoughtfully.
At this moment, the auctioneer raised another item, which was an ancient map marked with mysterious symbols and locations.
"This map is called the Siberian Road, and it points to a forgotten ancient city. It is said to contain endless treasures and powerful magical relics, and there are even rumors of powerful magical weapons hidden there. But of course, danger comes with it," explained Alex.
Morris and Sophia locked eyes and saw a hint of anticipation and excitement in each other's eyes.
"I know both of you might be very interested, but I suggest you focus on your studies and your own cultivation first. When you are strong enough, it won't be too late to consider this kind of adventure," Alex gently reminded.
