Necromancer: Becoming a God from a Lord

Karel Randy, a high elf spellcaster codenamed "Heart of the Forest", logged into the Magic Network Forum early, waiting for the online auction that would begin in half an hour.

Three days ago, an announcement suddenly appeared on the top of the forum, informing members that today's forum exchange meeting would be an online auction and membership quota bidding.

In fact, forum members would occasionally conduct online transactions of some precious spellcasting materials or high-level magic tools alone, but this form of transaction is not friendly to new members. The difficulty of obtaining points is relatively high, and most members do not look down on ordinary money as a transaction equivalent, and are more willing to barter for the items they need.

Harvey is certainly not happy to see this happen. If everyone holds the points in their hands and does not spend them, it will definitely affect the continued depreciation of the forum's virtual currency.

It will definitely seriously affect his behavior of cutting "magic leeks" from time to time.

Therefore, holding some public trading auctions regularly can not only stimulate members to consume their points, but also allow them to benefit from the forum, which is a win-win behavior.

Harvey attaches great importance to "user stickiness" in this regard.

...

[Elemental Hand: Praise the administrator Mr. Turing! Good evening, everyone! ]

It was the familiar opening greeting from the social expert Mr. "Elemental Hand". Harvey couldn't help but smile as he stared at the crystal screen.

This seemingly gentle and polite Mr. Elemental Hand, who never breaks his defense, is a powerful elemental mage who has the ability to explore the rifts of different spaces with legendary spellcasters.

[Magic Shield: Good evening, everyone! It seems that all the members participating in the exchange meeting today are here. Everyone should be here for the auction and the bidding quota, right? ]

This newly joined Mr. "Magic Shield" speaks in the style of an old-school government official. It feels like he should be an official of the Federation or other wizard kingdom organizations.

But I don't know why he was invited to the forum. Shouldn't he report the situation of the forum to the organization as soon as possible, and then actively carry out various investigations?

But Harvey observed his various speeches and information exchanges for a long time and found that he was just constantly seeking some magic knowledge to get promoted. It seems that he is essentially a traitor who focuses on his own interests.

Harvey likes such forum members.

[Son of Flame: I wonder if Mr. Turing will personally host the auction today? I can't wait to see what goodies everyone has prepared...]

In reality, some spellcasters will privately organize auctions to trade some important items or spellcasting materials, but they are limited to their trusted circle of contacts, and others will never be accepted and integrated.

The world of spellcasters is essentially still strictly divided into factions and classes.

An auction like today's is completely anonymous online, and the items are immediately sent and received, without worrying about being intercepted and killed in the middle of the way, and all high-level spellcasters participate. Even in the capital of all laws, Alayye, it is not easy to have the opportunity to participate.

[Administrator Turing: Today's auction is indeed hosted by me, but it is my body projection that serves you...]

Everyone was silent for a while, although it was vaguely mentioned in the forum by members with higher reputations such as the Scorching Lord that this mysterious and powerful Mr. Turing used his own projection in the magic network plane to create the magical online organization of the Spellcaster Forum.

But hearing the administrator casually say this fact in person still shocked everyone.

Legendary spellcasters can indeed form projections of their own magic patterns in the magic network, but I have never heard of any legendary spellcaster's projection that can create a communication space like the spellcaster forum that exists entirely in the magic network plane and can interact with reality through alchemical instruments.

[Administrator Turing: If you have no questions, let's get started! ]

According to the auction rules marked in advance in the forum announcement, members participating in the sale of items must display the items from the last time they joined the forum.

Each item is limited to a maximum of five bids, which can avoid malicious price increases. If the item is unfortunately unsold, it will be allowed to be traded privately again later.

As for the specific value of each item, it is decided by the item holder himself. Whether it is points, universal currency, designated materials, or magic tools, you can participate in the bidding.

The first person to bid was a new member of the forum codenamed "Rock Titan". Harvey vaguely remembered that he had frequent exchanges with Mr. "Frost Giant" and should be a member invited by him.

[Rock Titan: My auction item is a magic gem, "Heart of Clarke". I won't explain its specific effects in detail. People who understand its value and use will naturally know it. ]

Harvey frowned slightly and thought: Why do you have to pretend to be cool when you sell something? Why don't you tell me what this thing is used for? Isn't it better to educate low-level rookies?

Fortunately, a forum member with a more unrestrained personality immediately jumped out to make a big comment.

[Son of Fire: "Heart of Clarke"? Haha, why don't you just say it's the heart of a petrified banshee? Why are you playing dumb? It's the main material of the magic weapon of an earth-based spellcaster. Who is interested in bidding? ]

[Rock Titan: I only accept point bidding, starting at 150 points. 】

Unfortunately, although this kind of magic weapon material is precious, its use is very limited, and it was eventually bought by the "Earth-loving One" at the lowest price.

Subsequently, several new members showed their auction items, including powerful mid-level attacking magic tools, rare magic potions, and some relatively rare magic potion materials in the southern continent.

Most of them were successfully sold, and only a few items with smaller uses were unfortunately unsold.

The only thing Harvey was interested in was a set of alchemical devices taken out by the "Mirror Man" - "Arcane Mentor's Arm", which provided amplification and stability for the magic power introduction and matrix drawing of the caster during the experimental research.

But he had to accept that this alchemical device would be transplanted into his body and infused with magic energy at all times to maintain its activity.

Harvey suddenly realized that this was not the "castrated version" of his soul transfer experiment, which also had active characteristics and needed magic energy to drive it.

If it weren't for the fact that the offer of 500 points was too shocking, resulting in no one in the audience, Harvey would have wanted to buy it back for research, but considering that taking out too many points at once would easily arouse the suspicion of other members, he had no choice but to give up.

"I'll have a chance to communicate with Mr. Mirror Man alone..." Harvey shook his head with some regret.

The ghost captain took out a magic potion formula called "Breath of the Naga Siren", which is used to assist water casters in spell matrix analysis and mental recovery. It attracted several forum members to bid, and was finally bought by the new member "Magic Shield" with the highest price of 220 points.

After multiple bids, the atmosphere of the online auction gradually became tense, and the Heart of the Forest immediately showed its own auction item - a natural protective magic weapon, which is characterized by being able to automatically absorb magic network energy and replenish energy for the shield, and its defense and endurance are very excellent.

Finally, the new member "Shadow Knight" who was suspected to be invited by the Scorching Lord successfully won the auction with 200 points plus some rare spell materials.

No mistakes, one post, one content, one book, one forum, one 6, one 9, one book, one forum, one look!

The auction was coming to an end, and it was finally Harvey's turn to display the auction items.

[Kel'Thuzad: Everyone, what you know about me is the harvest from the ruins exploration, an unknown liquid spellcasting material. If you are interested, I can let you inspect the goods on the spot through the teleportation array under the witness of Mr. Turing, but if you want to participate in the auction, you need to tell me the name and use of the material for free, so this part of knowledge is also one of the purchase value paid to me...]

As soon as the keyword "ruins exploration" came out, the crystal screen began to refresh the message screen instantly. Most forum members chose to participate in the inspection and accepted the trading rules that required the provision of corresponding material knowledge.

Harvey smiled slightly and signaled Reiner, who was standing by, to divide one of the bottles of crimson liquid seized from the evil orcs into eight evenly using a test tube and immediately send it to the members participating in the bidding.

...

A slight light flashed, and a slender crystal test tube appeared on the magic network teleportation array.

"Son of Fire" Fer Holden walked up to pick it up, glanced at it casually, and immediately widened his eyes.

"This... is this, demon blood?"

When fire elemental casters cast high-level spells, it is a rare casting material that is rarely used. The reason is that this blood material, which is said to be taken from the demons of another space, has the powerful negative effect of "burning blood".

"Burning blood" actually refers to a self-destructive fighting method in which the caster overdraws his own mental power through potions to increase the power of the spell. The negative effect is that the mental power will be in a dry and weak state for a long time. Therefore, unless it is a last resort, ordinary combat mages are not very brave to try to use this casting auxiliary material.

But Fer Holden actually knows another rare use of demon blood, which is to combine with other magic materials to transform the blood of ordinary people who have no talent for casting.

This method also has obvious disadvantages. The caster who accepts the transformation will be directly stuck in the middle level and can never be promoted, and can only learn the magic of the fire element.

Fell couldn't help but think of the unlucky descendants of the family who were close to him but had no talent for spellcasting, and decided to find a way to buy this material and make some plans for their future.

He hurried back to the "Magic Brain" instrument and began to reply to the message of "Kel'Thuzad".

[Son of Flame: @Mr. Kel'Thuzad, I don't know how many such materials you have obtained. I am willing to buy them all at a price of 20 points per milliliter, and will attach the material knowledge and basic use explanations...]

20 points per milliliter, one bottle can be sold for 200 points, it seems that this thing is very valuable!

Harvey thought for a while, and when he was about to express that he didn't need points and wanted to replace them with other equivalent materials, new news was refreshed.

[Heart of the Forest: I'm sorry, @Mr. Son of Flame, I'm afraid I have to participate in this bidding. I am willing to buy it at a price of 25 points per milliliter, or exchange it for equivalent gold pounds and magic materials. 】

【Frost Giant: Hehe, then I'll try to participate, 25 points per milliliter, and a list of magic ore materials will be included, which Mr. Kel'Thuzad can choose freely. 】

"Shit! Why are you bidding against me!" The irritable Fell slammed his fist on the table and cursed with gritted teeth.

He immediately switched to the forum battle mode, ready to taunt these guys who were bidding against him, but suddenly saw a new message at the bottom of the crystal screen.

Feld was stunned for a moment, and fearfully put his hand, which was on the typing keys, back into his robe sleeve.

[Scorching Overlord: If Mr. Kel'Thuzad can provide more than 100 ml of this material at one time, I am willing to provide a matrix model of a six-ring improved spell or a high-level defensive magic weapon, and I don't have to compensate me for the difference in price. ]
