Weapon Seller In The World Of Magic

Chapter 492 The Grand Auction (part-4)

Roughly half a minute ago;

Due to uninteresting items being popped up in the auction which didn't grab the attention of the biggies, Mark also lost his interest a while ago and just became busier in conversing with Song Yue.

They were currently talking about the wedding plans, and Xin Rui's announcement of the mystery box briefly stole the attention of Mark.

It was the second mystery box that was brought up in this auction. The first one only contained a bunch of intermediate-grade augmentation pills that will temporarily raise the cultivation level of the users by 1 realm as long as they are below the 7-circle realm.

Hence, he didn't have much expectation at first.

But then, as he inspected the item using Eyes of God skill, he instantly halted his conversation with his fiancée and focused on the seemingly ordinary-looking wooden box.

Mystery Box

Description: Contains the flag of Huangdi "Hmm? Huangdi? Isn't he one of the five emperors from the legends that once ruled the world, just like Emperor Shun whose spirit gave me the celestial sword?" Mark's eyes further widened as a holographic screen popped up in front of his eyes.

*Ding! You discovered an artifact, the Flag of Huangdi

Flag of Huangdi

Description: Also known as the flag of the true emperor, the flag of Huangdi shall boost the strength of the user's allies as long as their rank is lesser than the demigod. The lower the rank, the greater the benefits one would receive. With its range covering as far as 10 km, the Flag of Huangdi is considered a perfect weapon for the battlefield.

Note: Allies include living beings and non-living beings.

That note at the end is what made Mark make the decision to call for the buyout.

Shen Ling always had suspicions that his eyes were quite special, which could see through everything.

Hence, she didn't question his decision and directly raised the paddle while pouring her ether energy into it.

Once the paddle started glowing in scarlet energy, Mark directly announced the buyout instead of going through a bidding war.

"Since the buyout was called, no biddings were allowed for this item henceforth. Congratulations, Ms. Shen Ling on winning this item."

Dressed in white armor from top to bottom, Ark, or one should now call him, Eol, the White Knight has walked to the platform instead of giving money to the attendant.

The earlier stint of the buyout call and the revealing of the presence of not one but three supreme beings was already surprising enough. Mark surprised everyone once again by sending out Eol to collect the weapon right away.

VIP Box no. 1;

The Crown Prince of Xiezhi Empire looked at his trusted bodyguard, who looked like a feeble old man, "Uncle Lao, who are they?"

**

VIP Box no. 47;

Qing Jie, who knew about them before anyone else, read the atmosphere in the coliseum and clenched his fist in excitement, "I knew it. Now, as long as I align myself with those Supreme Beings, that bastard eldest brother of mine wouldn't dare to attempt assassination on me, this time."

***

Eol returned to VIP Box no. 8 and handed the wooden box to Mark before taking his seat in the back, alongside James and Steve.

As Mark caressed the box with a smile on his face, Eol couldn't help but ask, "Uhh, Lu Zhen, do you know what was inside the box?"

"You can see it by yourselves," Mark tossed the box back to him. Eol caught it in reflex with a look of surprise on his face, "You want to open right away? If there is a treasure as you suspected, then, it will bring unnecessary commotion."

"We have Big sis Sylvandria, James, and Steve though," commented Shen Ling, defending her fiancé's actions.

In response, Eol answered, "Exactly, Your Highness. If they attack despite such powers, it means they will have a stronger expert on their side. You and Lady Song will be the ones that will be in danger."

"No need to worry about that, Eol. With me on the side, none of my loved ones shall ever be hurt."

Meanwhile, at the Imperial Palace of the Dragon Empire;

The acting emperor, Tang Yifan reached a large door located in the forbidden section of the palace, where not even ministers or members of the imperial family were allowed to enter.

Now that Tang Yifan became the emperor, he earned such qualification but for some reason, he didn't open the door. Instead, he knocked on the door a few times and waited in patience.

A whole hour passed, but he didn't move an inch from the spot. Every 15 minutes, he wouldn't forget to knock and then wait in patience.

After nearly 70 minutes, his patience was finally rewarded with the door opening on its own, revealing endless plain grassland on the other side.

Taking a deep breath, he entered the bright place but with no sun in the clear sky.

There, he saw a messy-white-haired boy sitting all alone on the grassland in his pajamas. He appeared to be lost in thoughts.

One look at him and people couldn't help but wonder whether this boy was sick or something.

Tang Yifan gulped saliva and walked forward. The boy remained unmoved until the acting emperor reached him and gave him a 90-degree bow. He couldn't kowtow because of his position as the Emperor which forbids such practice to any individual but a deity from the heaven.

"Tang Yifan greets the Founder."

The boy finally raised his head to look at the man, who disturbed his peace, "Skip the introductions and tell me what you want."

Staring directly into the eyes of his ancestor, Tang Yifan said, "An enemy of the throne is in the city with three Supreme Beings on his side, and I ask for the founder's help to take him down."
