The Witcher: From the Academy of Knights

Chapter 89 Red God
After getting the scroll of witchcraft, Sauron put it away.

The auction is still going on.

What he wanted has been obtained, but Sauron is not in a hurry to leave.

On the auction stage, another auction item appeared.

It was a silver-white cross sword, forged from a special metal, mixed with mithril, and enchanted by a master alchemist himself.

"This cross sword is called Broken Star!"

The middle-aged man spoke excitedly, and said: "The proud work of the alchemist Rona, the mithril mixed in it can endow this extraordinary item with extremely high magic power!"

"Also, this star-breaking sword is enchanted with a [Armor Breaking] rune, no matter what kind of armor it is, it is vulnerable to it."

"The starting price is two hundred magic stones, and each auction must be no less than ten magic stones!"

As soon as the middle-aged man finished speaking, someone rang the bell to bid for the auction.

It seems that this Broken Star Cross Sword is very popular.

Sauron pondered for a moment, and then rang the bell. Possessing a supernatural cross sword would also help his strength.

In a short while, the price of the Broken Star Cross Sword has reached 280 magic stones.

Sauron rang the bell for the last time and successfully bid for the Broken Star Cross Sword.

In the box, a thought flashed in his eyes.

Extraordinary items have different prices depending on their attributes, but generally speaking, the value of extraordinary items is between [-] magic stones and [-] magic stones.

Unless it is those supernatural items such as rings and bracelets that are enchanted with rare runes, the price may exceed five hundred magic stones.

Today's auction has been going on until now, and there are a total of four extraordinary item auction items, three of which are weapons, and only one is an armor-type extraordinary item.

Next, the auction will continue.

As each auction item appeared, everyone's emotions were very high. Some of the auction items even moved Sauron very much.

However, he did not bid blindly.

After all, the reason why Sauron was able to participate in this auction was to replace Polkadot. It would not be a good thing if it was too high-profile.

As time passed, the auction came to an end.

"The next auction item is the finale of this auction!"

On the auction stage, the middle-aged man was in high spirits.

Immediately afterwards, he took out a metal box, opened the mouth, and inside was a red scale.

"The scales left behind in the world after the battle between the ancient red god and the saint Elsa, what does this thing represent, I don't think I need to talk nonsense?"

The eyes of the middle-aged man flickered, and he said quietly: "Everyone here, most of them are apprentice wizards. If anyone can get this Red God scale, maybe in the future, they will have the opportunity to decipher the secret of the ancient Red God!"

"The starting price for this auction is [-] magic stones, and each bid must not be lower than [-] magic stones. Now, everyone, please start!"

After listening to the middle-aged man's introduction, the auction fell into silence.

"Ancient Red God?"

Sauron narrowed his eyes slightly, thoughts flickered in his mind, and ancient legends emerged in his mind.

It is recorded in ancient books that in ancient times, Saint Elsa suppressed the gods, established the Valian Empire, and led the lost continent to usher in a new era.

And the so-called Red God seems to be one of the gods suppressed in ancient times.

In tonight's auction, the finale item is the scale of the ancient Red God!

After a short period of silence, the auction will be boiling.

The price of the Red God scales has been soaring all the way, and soon exceeded two thousand magic stones. For wizards who pursue truth and eternity, anything related to the gods is worth fighting for.

After all, as the middle-aged man said, whoever can get the scales of the Red God will have a chance to unlock the secrets of the ancient Red God.

Even, use this to gain the power of the gods!

With such a temptation, it is no wonder that everyone in the auction is so crazy.

A trace of calm flashed in Sauron's eyes.

He can be sure that if there is no problem with the Red God scale, the Campbell family will not be able to put it up for auction no matter what.

In other words, it may have been a long time since the Campbell family obtained this red ginseng scale, and probably countless studies have been done during this period.

However, no one could develop the value of this red god scale, so the Campbell family chose to auction it off.

Gradually, the price of the Red God scales has reached [-] magic stones, and there are very few competitors in the auction.

"Two thousand five hundred magic stones!"

On the auction stage, a middle-aged man swung a wooden hammer and said in an excited voice, "Is there anyone else who offers a better price?"

Jingle Bell!
As soon as the words were finished, the bell rang again. In the box in the corner, someone offered two thousand and six, and now there was no other competition.

"Very good! Two thousand six hundred magic stones!"

"Two thousand six times! Two thousand six times, two thousand six three..."

Before the middle-aged man dropped the hammer, another brass bell rang.

But this time, the middle-aged man was taken aback.

Therefore, the sound of the bell just now came from that corner box, in other words, it was he himself who raised the bidding price.

"... [-] magic stones!"

The middle-aged man hesitated, but still quoted according to the rules. However, just as he finished speaking, the bell rang again.

Still coming from the corner.

Jingle Bell!Jingle Bell!
The dull sound of the bell echoed in the auction hall. The middle-aged man on the auction stage looked slightly gloomy, and he still didn't understand that the other party was making trouble.

"Your Excellency, I advise you to take responsibility for your actions!"

The middle-aged man's face was slightly cold, and he said in a deep voice: "I believe you will not want to know what the consequences of making trouble in the Silver Moon Merchant Guild will be."

Jingle Bell!
As if responding to the man's threat, the bell rang again from the corner box. The middle-aged man's expression darkened, and he immediately waved his hand.

The guards in the auction hall gathered around the corner one after another, as if they wanted to see who was so bold as to make trouble in the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce.

Bang! !

Just as the guards approached, a violent sound came in vain, and the fiery flames spread towards the surroundings like a billowing heat wave.

In an instant, more than a dozen guards were engulfed by the flames, and they were all reduced to ashes without even making a scream.

There was a commotion in the auction hall.

"Ignorant mortals, how dare they try to get their hands on the power of the Red God!"

The next moment, a hoarse voice came.

However, in the raging flames, an old and rickety figure slowly appeared, with a strange luster shining in a pair of snake-like vertical pupils, and red scales faintly growing all over the body, which looked particularly ferocious.

"Accept the wrath of the Red God!"

The old man with vertical pupils had a hoarse voice, and a raging flame was burning all over his body.

Immediately afterwards, a beam of fire burst into the sky!

As if it was some kind of signal, hundreds of figures in red clothes and masks rushed into the auction hall, destroying the surroundings indiscriminately.
