Chapter 322: Overlord Relic Treasures!(Fixed)
An item left behind by a Overlord was more than enough to make them go crazy with greed.
Recently, there had been a rise in the level of abnormal activity in the depths of Prime Draconis Ridge. It only took a little thinking for everyone to understand that these were signs that a Sacred dimensional relics was emerging. Furthermore, the White Dragon Dowel had appeared with amazing timing.
It was highly likely that this new Sacred dimensional relics might be the one left behind by the White Dragon Overlord. The information bomb that Kairus had tossed instantly exploded in the auction house. Countless breaths grew heavier.
A lot of people had already noticed the abnormalities in the depths of Prime Draconis Ridge; however, even if they knew that a Sacred dimensional relics was about to appear, most of them thought it would only be an ordinary Sacred dimensional relics. Therefore, most people didn't think too much about it and only focused on trying their luck out there.
After all, there were many Dimension Treasuries that would periodically emerge in Prime Draconis Ridge. Most of those were ordinary, anyways. However, now, it looked like this new Sacred dimensional relics might be the one left behind by the White Dragon Overlord. Wouldn't that be a Overlord Sacred dimensional relics?
There were huge differences between Sacred dimensional relics of that level and ordinary ones. It was enough to shake the entire Prime Draconis Ridge.
Tyrion's group also exchanged looks as chaos broke out around them.
"Didn't the information say it'd be a Sacred dimensional relics? How'd it turn into a Overlord Sacred dimensional relics?" Michael asked blankly.
Aelira also slightly knitted her brows. "It seems that there was a mistake in our information. It'll be troublesome this time. If it'd been only a Sacred dimensional relics, then our mission would've been a smooth one. But, since it's a Overlord Sacred dimensional relics, it'll probably attract more experts, or even the three major forces. When the time comes, a great battle will be unavoidable."
Even though their party wasn't weak, they were still low in numbers. Trying to confront the powerful local forces with only the five of them would be rather difficult. Furthermore, there were still many powerful adventurer teams in Prime Draconis Ridge. Those people weren't easy to deal with, either.
"It might not be a genuine Overlord Sacred dimensional relics. Who knows, that fat-ass probably just said that to drive up the price," Lara muttered.
"That's possible," Aelira lightly nodded. Then, her charming eyes focused on the Golden Dragon Mystery Scroll on the stage. "We'll wait and see how the situation plays out."
Michael and the rest of them nodded. Right now, that was the only thing they could do.
Tyrion also directed his attention towards the Golden Dragon Mystery Scroll on the stage and noticed the nervous expression coming from the three major forces. His heart, however, sensed Kairus's words were probably all true. The Sacred dimensional relics that'd emerged this time might really be the one left behind by that White Dragon Overlord.
"It looks like our mission just gained a lot more twists and turns."
...
With the appearance of the Golden Dragon Mystery Scroll, the entire auction house boiled over with an impassioned gaze. Many lines of sight fixedly stared at the dowel.
Even though Kairus hadn't been terribly clear with his words, the effect was the same — if the new Sacred dimensional relics in the Prime Draconis Ridge really was a Overlord Sacred dimensional relics, then this Golden Dragon Mystery Scroll might be a crucial object for it.
If they could get their hands on this Golden Dragon Mystery Scroll, wouldn't you be able to increase their chances of finding the Overlord Sacred dimensional relics?
Quite a few of those stares were heated and filled with greed. If they could find the Overlord Sacred dimensional relics, then their strength could scale the skies in a single step. If they could get their hands on the Golden Dragon Mystery Scroll, then they'd require an even shorter time to break through genetic locks and become even more powerful.
Kairus gave the auction crowd a narrow-eyed smile and said, "Haha. Of course, we cannot neglect the connection between this Golden Dragon Mystery Scroll and the White Dragon Overlord. But, as to whether the true usage of it, we cannot say for sure, either. Only the one who wins this piece in today's auction may study it."
"Now, we'll start bidding. The starting price is 3,000,000 Gold relic coins."
Kairus waved his large hand and slightly raised the Golden Dragon Mystery Scroll, spreading and shrouding the hall with its radiance. The faintly discernible pressure seemed to have traces of freezing the air inside the auction house.
"3,500,000."
The white-clothed youth named Aetheron was the first to speak, displaying White Dragon Overlord City's determination to win this piece.
"4,000,000."
But this time, it looked like White Dragon Overlord City wasn't going to have an easy time. The moment Aetheron's voice landed, the Steller Dipper Blade Academy followed. The one who spoke was the middle-aged man wearing a dark rain coat with eyes as cold and sharp as the edge of a steel blade.
Aetheron heard that and shot them a vicious glare; however, the middle-aged man appeared not to have noticed it. His eyes were focused only on the Golden Dragon Mystery Scroll. White Dragon Overlord City may be powerful, but the Heavenly Dipper Faction wasn't afraid of them.
And, just as Aetheron was giving off the vicious stare, the old man wearing a yellow uniform and from the EarthCore Continuum Academy parted his lips. He flashed his large yellow teeth and said with a beaming smile, "4,500,000."
A collective sigh seemed to pass over the audience as they watched the three major forces engage in a bidding war. They understood that they didn't stand a chance against those three and imposing forces.
Lara seemed to have her curiosity aroused by the Golden Dragon Mystery Scroll. Just when she was getting ready to call out her own price. However, Tyrion stopped her.
"What are you doing? If we can get our hands on that Golden Dragon Mystery Scroll, then we might be able to find the Overlord Sacred dimensional relics," Lara said with a slight frown.
"That thing is a hot potato. We can't take it." Tyrion replied as he shook his head.
Who knows how many people had their eye on that Golden Dragon Mystery Scroll? If their party bought it in such a public place, then they'd probably be followed by numerous people, once they left the auction house. Forget about finding the treasures. Once they left the city, the trouble would start like an endless stream. There were only five of them; they had no hope of dealing with it all.
Even with Aelira's Fiendgod Stage strength, she couldn't possibly intimidate everyone who came after them.
"En. Tyrion is right." Aelira lightly nodded her head in agreement and glared at Lara, who was still pouting. "Don't mess around."
"What's your opinion on the situation?" Aelira looked to Tyrion with a faint smile.
"We'll watch for any changes. If this Golden Dragon Mystery Scroll really is connected to the newly emerged Sacred dimensional relics, then, when the time comes, there'll be an intense battle. We're low on manpower, so we'll have to stick to the shadows and watch for opportunities. If we get caught in heavy fire, we'd only have to immediately abort the mission.
Otherwise, we'll suffer disastrous losses." Tyrion muttered.
Michael, who was sitting next to him, nodded in agreement. Nyxa gave Tyrion a second look. Who would've thought that this freshman actually had a skill or two?
Aelira nodded her delicate head and looked towards at the three major forces, who were really starting to get into their bidding war. She lightly smiled and said, "Then, for now, let's just sit back and watch the show."
Tyrion responded with a laugh and pointed his eyes towards the front. Within a short few minutes, the Young City Lord of the White Dragon Overlord City had already hiked the dowel's price up to 6,000,000 Gold relic coins. That price certainly wasn't low anymore. It was comparable to the entire wealth Tyrion had earned after selling the formula for the Atomic serum.
When the price reached 6,000,000, the eyes of the middle-aged man from the Steller Dipper Blade Academy turned gloomy. Light slightly flickered in his eyes. Then, he spoke in a low, gravely voice, instantly inflating the price by another million. "7,000,000."
Some members of the audience secretly licked their lips. It looked like this Steller Dipper Blade Academy had also come prepared.
When 7,000,000 was announced, even White Dragon Overlord City and the Earth Way Sect quieted down for a brief moment. Shortly after, the Young City Lord exchanged a look with the grey-cloaked Elder sitting next to him and coldly smiled, "Elder Kryos has quite the resolve."
The middle-aged man named Kryos lightly smiled and replied, "We wouldn't dare to compare ourselves against the rich and imposing White Dragon Overlord City."
"My White Dragon Overlord City is determined to win this Golden Dragon Mystery Scroll. If you want to compete, then my White Dragon Overlord City will accompany you to the end." Aetheron coldly laughed and waved his hand. "8,000,000."
