The Witcher: From the Academy of Knights

Chapter 88 Auction

Although the relationship between the two parties is not close, it is also a long-term cooperation.

Polkadot is now dead.

Sauron became the owner of the manor, but the Campbell family didn't know it, so they sent an invitation letter, hoping that Polka could participate in the auction.

"In half a month?"

A thought flashed in Sauron's eyes. He was very interested in the auction jointly held by many wizard families in Old Lington.

Afterwards, Sauron put away the invitation letter.

After regularly distributing scorpion water to the people in the manor, Sauron returned to the underground laboratory and continued to study the potion knowledge left by Polka.

In a blink of an eye, half a month later.

In the distant sky, the last ray of twilight gradually faded away, and as a round of crescent moon lifted into the sky, the soft silver-white light fell on the earth, and night fell quietly.

Old Linton, Silvermoon Chamber of Commerce.

As the chamber of commerce controlled by the Campbell family, the Silvermoon Chamber of Commerce is quite powerful in Old Lington. The annual auction has not yet started, and it has already attracted the attention of many extraordinary people.

On the street, a carriage was parked there.

Those who can receive the invitation letter from the Campbell family are all extraordinary people without exception, and there are very few first-level apprentices who have just embarked on the wizarding journey.

"Here we are, my lord."

As a carriage stopped, Sauron in black robe came out, raised his hand and threw a silver coin to the driver, and he walked straight towards the building in front of him.

"Follow me, my lord."

After handing over the invitation letter to the guard, a young maid led Sauron into the Chamber of Commerce and brought him to a separate compartment.

There is not much space here, but the privacy is very good.

Sauron sat on a chair, and in front of him was a table with pastries and tea, and a copper-yellow bell on it.

"What is this for?" Sauron asked.

"Your Excellency, this is the first time you have participated in the auction of the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce, right?"

A smile appeared on the maid's face, and she explained: "This bell is used to help you bid for items. If you find something you like, you only need to shake the bell to bid."

Sauron nodded, his eyes flickering slightly.

It has been nearly a month since he came to Old Lington. Sauron's original intention was to seek a way to retrieve Orens' soul through the Dayfire Tavern.

However, after such a long time, Sauron's mission in the Dayfire Tavern has been ignored by no one.

It wasn't until yesterday morning, when Sauron went to the Dayfire Tavern, that Mason told him that there was one thing that might help Sauron.

Scroll of Witchcraft!

That was the information that Mason obtained through personal channels. A wandering apprentice from the Swamp Principality accidentally obtained a witchcraft scroll, which contained a soul-attracting spell.

Although this piece of information did not directly solve Sauron's problem, it gave him a glimmer of hope. If he could get the witchcraft scroll, he would have a chance to find Orens' lost soul.

Immediately, Sauron hoped that Mason could help him contact the wandering apprentice to buy a scroll of witchcraft.

However, when Mason found the wandering apprentice, the other party said that he had entrusted the witchcraft scroll to the Silvermoon Chamber of Commerce for auction.

Therefore, if Sauron wanted to obtain the witchcraft scroll, he could only go through the Silvermoon Chamber of Commerce.

However, Sauron didn't care about it.

After all, he had originally planned to participate in this auction, and he had already received an invitation letter from the Campbell family as early as half a month ago.

Sitting in the compartment, Sauron looked forward.

With the appearance of a man in a white robe, the auction officially began.

Today's auction was jointly held by the Campbell family and several wizarding families in Old Lington, so the first auction item was a good item.

"This is an extraordinary item created by Alchemist Orton himself for ten years. It is a flaming battle ax with a flame rune attached to it. The user can inject magic power to release a flame attack."

"The starting price is two hundred magic stones, and each auction must not be lower than ten magic stones!"

A middle-aged man from the Campbell family introduced the Fiery Tomahawk to everyone. It was an extraordinary item with a flame rune attached to it, which attracted many people to bid for it.

"good stuff."

Sauron's eyes flickered, and he sighed in his heart. Even for an apprentice wizard, having a supernatural item as a weapon can improve his combat effectiveness.

Unfortunately, Sauron is not good at battle axes, so this extraordinary item is useless to him.

The battle ax with a reserve price of 280 magic stones was quickly bought for [-] magic stones. The bidders were all in separate compartments, so no one knew who he was.

Soon, the second auction item was sent to the auction stage.

Compared with the fiery battle ax used to warm up the field, the second auction item is much more ordinary, but there are still many people bidding.

Gradually, the atmosphere of the auction rose.

Sauron was sitting in the box, his eyes flashed with thought. He participated in the auction this time mainly for the witchcraft scrolls.

Therefore, other auction items are secondary.

"The next auction item, friends of the Necromancer School, should be very interested, a witchcraft scroll that seals the ghost art!"

"The reserve price is one hundred magic stones, and each auction must not be lower than ten magic stones!"

On the auction stage, the middle-aged man said loudly.

Sauron's heart moved. Compared with extraordinary items, the price of the scroll of soul-abduction is not expensive, but there are very few bidders.

"Could it be because it's too unpopular?"

A thought flashed in Sauron's eyes. Normally speaking, in the world of extraordinary people, witchcraft scrolls as consumables are as valuable as potions.

However, those truly precious witchcraft scrolls are often sealed with powerful spells.

As for the soul-attracting technique, strictly speaking, it is only an auxiliary technique, it does not have any lethality, so the price is not too high.

Jingle Bell!
Sauron didn't hesitate too much, shaking the brass bell, the scroll of soul drawing is not important to others, but he is sure to get it.

If this thing can be used to retrieve Orens' soul, it will undoubtedly help Sauron a lot.

Soon, another bell rang.

Although the soul drawing scroll is relatively unpopular, it is also a witchcraft scroll after all, and some apprentices of the necromancy school are very interested.

In the end, after a lot of bidding, Sauron won the soul-inducing scroll with 160 magic stones.

"Not expensive!"

The corners of Sauron's lips were raised slightly, and a smile appeared on his face. The price of 160 magic stones was completely within the range of his heart.

Following the success of the auction, the members of the Silvermoon Chamber of Commerce quickly sent the soul-inducing scroll to Sauron's box.

"So fast?"

A flash of surprise flashed in Sauron's eyes. He thought that he would have to wait until after the auction to get the soul drawing scroll, but he didn't expect that the Silvermoon Chamber of Commerce would be so efficient.

Immediately, Sauron didn't talk nonsense, and handed over 160 magic stones to the people of the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce.
