From MC’s perspective:
Central Auction,
The bloodline wizard Ko started to feel anxious. Apart from the Weapon Palace, no one else made a bid. What is going on? He knew Gilbert and that gravity brat was in this building.
Then why don’t they bid? Is something wrong?
Various questions appeared in his mind. He started to observe people sitting close to him.
“200 Million credit points,” A loud voice came from another private room.
Seeing that everyone ‘s recognised it’s from the Royal Force Hall again. Faces of the wizards sitting below change drastically.
They fear that conflict will break out when they walk outside. Few level-5 wizards immediately walk out of the building.
They don’t want to get caught in between their conflicts.
On the auction stage, Vivian stunned as well. But she quickly calmed her mind. Before coming here, the manager had already infilled her with details.
So she knew forehand that this blood drop will attract a lot of blood shed. So she immediately said,”Royal Palace Hall made a bid for 200 million. If anyone wants to increase the price they can do it now.”
Her words caused many of them to curse inwardly. Are you kidding? Who can take out 200 million causally apart from those giant organizations?
Seeing that no one is willing to bid. Vivian announced that the blood drop was sold to Royal Force Hall.
Below, the bloodline’s wizard Ko’s face changes drastically. “Damn you royal wizards,” He cursed them in his heart. But he still hasn’t given up his hope.
He knows about Gilbert Reese. That person is not simple. Gilbert might do something else. He then sent a message to the green haired wizard. He instructed them to come.
He wants to get back the snake blood from the Royal Force Hall. He can’t let it go like that. Even Gilbert fails to appear. He made up his mind to snatch the blood from the Royal Force Hall.
Back in the seat,
My mood worsens. Though I’m practically prepared in my mind. But the Royal Force Hall’s interference stunned me.
I don’t know why? But I had a weird connection with the Royal Force Hall member. Back in school, then in abandoned ruins and now I came across the Royal Force Hall again.
Then after calming down my heart, I waited for the auction to be over.
Beside, Senior Gilbert has a thoughtful look on his face. Since the auction item was bought by the Royal Force Hall. He intends to clash with them.
He knows quite a few fellows in the Royal Force Hall. But he doesn’t know which level-6 wizard came here today.
The atmosphere became weirdly quiet. Though the snake blood was sold at sky high prices. But it was not useful for everyone. It can only be used by gravity related magic.
So there are many important items yet to be auctioned.
The auction presenter Vivian began to present the next auction item.
Time passed in a blink of an eye,
As the auction is nearing his end. Everyone was on edge. At this point of time half of the seats were empty. No one is willing to stay till the end.
Experienced people know what kind of horror will happen after the auction.
“Let’s leave,” Senior Gilbert’s words reached my ears.
Hearing that, I saw him nodding his head. “Plan B has started,” I said in my heart.
Then we left the auction building along with the others. Our actions didn’t attract that much attention. Because people were leaving from time to time.
When we walked a few distance away from the auction building. Senior Gilbert turned toward me and said,”I’ll drop you out at a small canyon located at the border of our academy.”
“The Royal Force Hall and the Weapon Palace are waiting for the final auction item. Which is not mentioned in the published list.”
“So I take this time to drop you at the safe zone. It’s not wise for you to stay near me during the conflict,” He added further.
A look of understanding dawned upon me. Senior’s thoughts were clear. Looks like he had calculated everything. At this time, I really wanted to ask what he intended to do. But it’s impolite.
“Okay, Senior. Let’s hope our plan works,” I replied.
Gilbert Reese smirked before grabbing Vincent’s shoulder and disappearing from the spot. The sudden appearance of level-6 mana caught people’s attention.
Especially the auction guards who were guarding outside and a few other wizards. But it was too late. By the time they went to investigate, the traces were gone.
Swish!
The wind brushes past my face continuously. But my focus is entirely on Senior Gilbert’s flight ability. Last time, I saw the flight ability of an old man from the dark league.
It was a terrible experience. I had no time to appreciate the escort. We had fought to survive. But this time is different.
I clearly feel that Senior Gilbert is moving in the air without much hindrance. Shortly after, we reached a small canyon. It was located exactly at the border of our academy.
Thud
The next moment, we landed on the ground. Feeling the solid ground, I sighed inwardly. But suddenly a doubt appeared in my heart.
Before the auction I was chased by a few wizards. What happened to them now?
Gilbert Reese decided to leave. Before going he said,”Wait for me here. I’ll come up with blood. And one more thing, don’t go to the academy before that.”
“The Bloodline Hall is not simple. If my guess is right, they have already started their layout.”
My eyes filled with surprise. I asked,”Senior, what do you mean?”
Gilbert Reese said with a sigh,”I’m suspecting there is a trap waiting for you.”
“Trap?” A doubt appeared in my heart. I don’t understand. I won the official duel. They are not supposed to take action against me.
Seeing the confusion in Vincent’s eyes. Gilbert said,”Don’t you think no one knows about Sub-Taboo Hall’s intention?”
I asked,”What do you mean?”
“Forget about the Weapon Palace and Royal Force Hall. Sub-Taboo Hall has rivals within the academy. I had received funds from the academy. But it was not with everyone’s support,” Gilbert said.
My eyes burst out with a cold glint.Why? I feel someone behind the scenes creating trouble for me. Though I’m an ant, I like their existence. I can’t fight against them now.
But if there is any future, I will weed out these people for sure.
A complicated glint flashes in Gilbert’s eyes. He said,”You know why I was inclined to plan B more.”
“Because of other factions,” I replied.
Gilbert said,”That’s right. If we had won the bid successfully, there would be more troubles later. No one in the academy likes it, the management favors one faction over another.”
“So some people don’t like the actions of elders. Though Gravity’s ancestors left a powerful inheritance to the academy. And it was our Sub-Taboo Hall right to inherit the mantle. But other factions won’t like to offer it on a silver platter.”
After saying that Gilbert turned toward me before saying,”They will create as trouble as possible before you can formally accept the inheritance.”
My heart turned cold. Then what is the point of giving funds to Senior Gilbert. I clenched my fists. Everyone is treating me as pawns. It’s a conflict between wizard factions.
Looks like I got dragged into it because of my late ancestor’s inheritance.
“Alright, I know you are sensible. As long as you reach the level-7 limit. You can decide your own fate.”
“Here take this black eye fruit. You are not a bloodline wizard. So the direct consumption of snake blood will only cause more harm. This fruit will help you in this situation.” After saying that he handed over the strange fruit.
“Shall I eat it now?” I asked back.
I don’t want to waste time. If possible I can adjust the state of my body in the meantime.
Gilbert Reese nodded his head. “I’m leaving now. And don’t attend anyone’s call as well.” After saying that he disappeared from the spot.
I stood in daze for a moment before searching for a hide out.
A few minutes later, I sat under the massive rock and instructed the system.
“System, show me the status panel,” I said to the system.
