Everyone sat in anticipation as they waited for the details of the armor to be displayed. Even if they could not afford it, they still wanted to see because fantasizing is free. They wanted to picture themselves wearing the armor and looking dashing.
Mei did not disappoint the anticipating crowd and gestured for the crystal ball to project the details of the armor. The crowd is extremely shocked because an epic rated armor had superior stats that is comparable to a legendary armor despite not knowing what the defensive value of a legendary armor is.
Item: Fire Drake Armor
Tier: Epic (Upgradeable to Legendary)
Type: Light Armor
Defense Value: 850
Effect:
– A 2.5% chance to nullify fire attribute attacks and spells.
– 0.1% chance to reduce the durability of a weapon that hits the user by 200.
– Flame Resistance + 25%
– Flame Body Skill
Skill: Flame Body – envelops the user in a fiery aura and damage those in a one meter radius around you by 50% of your total damage for a duration of twenty minutes. (8 hour cooldown)
Description: An armor made by the Blacksmith Hanvil. It is made using the skin of a fire drake which is why the armor wearer will have high flame attribute resistance. Due to the incomplete materials, Blacksmith Hanvil did not complete his legendary work but he is still proud of it.
Restriction: Strength must be 150, Agility must be 130
The armor looked like a dragon scale armor with red tints but it is not pure red due to it only coming from a fire drake. A lesser dragon will have muddier colored scales compared to a true dragon that is pure blooded. It had intricate designs of dragon heads as the shoulder pads and knee pads.
The armor itself would make anyone who wear it look dashing and cool. There would even be wisps of fire flickering here and there as an effect which adds a coolness factor to the armor. It is really that fantasy like armor that anyone would really crave and would even kill for it.
“We will add another tip for the buyer of this great item! Blacksmith Hanvil said that he will upgrade the item for free if you manage to collect the necessary materials for it. Blacksmith Hanvil will be able to talk to the buyer after the auction for the details.” Mei stated which made the crowd even more heated up.
The news that they will personally meet with Blacksmith Hanvil is more important than actually completing the armor. If they meet Hanvil and form a friendship with him then it is a bigger win for the buyer. The armor just became a hot item because of one sentence.
“The starting bid will be 1000 gold and an increment of ten gold will be observed. Let the bidding begin!” Mei announced.
[VIP Room 1: 2,000 gold]
[VIP Room 3: 2,100 gold]
[VIP Room 4: 2,300 gold]
[VIP Room 12: 4,000 gold]
….
Big money values started showing up all of a sudden which made the poor players ashamed of themselves while some aspired to be like them. The armor became something the big wigs wanted while suddenly someone from the bleachers bet something.
[Visitor No. 6795: 10,000 gold]
The others are actually shocked that someone actually managed to bid high despite not being in an organization. The others could only speculate on what is the identity of this person but someone in the VIP room once again increased the bet. It once again flared up the competition between the VIP room bidders.
[VIP Room 1: 12,000 gold]
[VIP Room 12: 13,000 gold]
[VIP Room 8: 13,500 gold]
….
The bidding war increased the price of the armor to 20,000 gold and it is actually VIP Room 1 who got the armor in the end. A laugh of triumph could even be heard from the room as the player there enabled the sound function of the room. It seems the player or players there have an air of superiority to them.
“Ah! I hate people like that the most.” Cersei stated with annoyance.
“He is just having his victory laugh so to speak. He will not be laughing later though.” Mariposa stated gracefully as she looked towards Adrian who is standing and staring at the next auction item that is presented.
“The next item that I will present to you is something made by a magitech engineer which will definitely be a hot item for those who uses guns as a weapon. Let us see the beautiful craftsmanship of the item.” Mei announced and the cloth was taken off in order to reveal the item.
“This is made by the magitech engineer Thinktank. It is his finest work for a magitech gun as it can use mana and materialize it into exploding shells as an epic rated earth stone is its core. It has high burst damage and it could even punch through steel armour.” Mei stated in order to make item more desirable.
“Start the bidding already!” someone shouted.
“Since we have many impatient guests, we should now start the bidding. This fine masterpiece is being sold at a base price of 1,500 gold and each increment would be 50 gold. Let us start now!” Mei announced.
[VIP Room 1: 2,000 gold]
[VIP Room 12: 3,000 gold]
[VIP Room 7: 5,000 gold]
….
The battle for the item is fierce and unrelenting. Some of the VIPs decided not to partake in the battle but that is only for players that do not use a magitech gun as a weapon. The bids continued to rise until it reached 18,000 gold and made the increase slower. It seems that the buyers know that magitech guns cost lower than an armor as these types of weapon have high maintenance fees.
The bid finally stopped when someone bid it for 18,700 gold coins. The bidder who won is actually Visitor No. 6795 as the VIPs realized what Mei stated about the remaining items. They could let go an epic magitech gun as weapons are disposable after you get a higher level.
“Congratulations to the bidder for the magitech gun. Now let us proceed to one of the newly added items in our roster. Sadly, we cannot demonstrate the usage of the items as there is only one copy in existence. Please show the crowd what is.” Mei announce with flare. .𝒎
The item is revealed and it is another set talisman but this seemed different as you can feel an aura from it. There are three talismans stacked together and this would be sold as a set. If one looked close the three talismans are actually different. The writings are different if a scribe were to check it but scribes are extremely rare in this era.
“We will now show you the details for each talisman. Please be patient as we increase the projections.” Mei announced.
Three projections are seen up in the air and the details of each talisman is revealed. After even reading just one talisman, the crowd became silent and stupefied. The only thing to describe this talismans are game changers.

This talisman is made using the most desperate of emotion so that whoever uses this could overturn the battle. This is the most decent talisman that the promising unknown scribe has made.
“These talismans are sold as a set courtesy of the maker. He generously set the starting price at 3000 gold for the whole set. The increment per bid will be 100 gold. You can now start the bidding.” Mei announced and then the whole auction became embroiled in chaos.
