"This is the top-level summoning stone that can summon powerful summoning beasts with very little magic power, and in other aspects..."

"It is said to be the blood of a demon from hell. Although its true appearance and purpose are not clear, it is definitely a valuable treasure. The starting price..."

"This is a mysterious scroll that the Sword Saint discovered in an ancient ruins not long ago. If you are interested..."

After the frost bracelet was auctioned off, the following items that appeared were no less valuable than the previous ones. These priceless treasures were all auctioned off one by one, then smashed by the host, and then pushed to the backstage. This scene was repeated nearly ten times.

However, even though these things were treasures that could make countless people fascinated, Green still had no interest, and with Mio's lack of response, Green became even less interested.

As time passed, Green was on the verge of losing patience. But just as Green was about to leave, a follow-up auction item caught Green's attention.

Being pushed onto the stage by the staff was an egg the size of a human head. The surface of the egg was burning with flames, and Green could feel a strong and mysterious power contained within it.

The host proceeded to introduce it to everyone.

"Have you all seen this flaming egg? This is a treasure brought back by our auction house's manager, the 'Black Cloak,' from the Eastern Continent. According to the guild's appraisal, its preciousness is definitely not inferior to any item before it."

As soon as these words were spoken, exclamations filled the room.

Obviously, the host's words sparked everyone's interest.

It should be noted that due to the difficulty of reaching the Eastern Continent, the people here didn't know much about that land, only heard that there were many treasures there, and the name of the Black Cloak was even more renowned.

There were rumors that the Black Cloak was a messenger of the gods, and some said that the Black Cloak was the chosen one.

But nobody knew exactly what kind of person the Black Cloak was, only that they wore a black cloak and traveled between the different continents, with unfathomable strength, serving as the highest manager of this auction house.

At this moment, the terms "Black Cloak" and "Eastern Continent" instantly captured the attention of the entire audience.

As for the geographical environment of this world, Green didn't know much about it. He only vaguely knew that besides the Central Continent where he was now, there were three other continents that were not well-known to the people— the Western Continent, the Eastern Continent, and the Ice and Snow Continent, where Dakexis died.

As for why people on this continent knew so little about the Eastern and Western Continents, Green hadn't looked into it. It was probably due to various restrictions. The transportation in this world didn't seem to be very developed.

Seeing the enthusiasm of the crowd, the host continued nonchalantly.

"I won't say much more. I believe that with everyone's discerning eyes, you can already see its value."

"The starting price is one million gold coins!"

One million gold coins, converted into the world's currency, was one billion. Green couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

However, although this value was very high for ordinary people, it was also very high for the group with extraordinary powers. They earned money at a much faster rate than ordinary people, but their consumption in the field of magic and other aspects was incomprehensible to ordinary people. Just like ordinary people buying luxury goods for daily life, this auction was the same for magicians.

But the people who could be here were all prepared people.

"One million and one!"

Soon, the first bidder appeared, but before the voice could even fall, it was drowned out by the subsequent bids.

"One million and two!"

"One million and three!"

"One million and four!"

"One million and five!"

.........

Green's mouth twitched a bit, but it was normal for this situation to occur.

After all, the starting price was already high. Why bother to call such a high price when you have nothing better to do? Not to mention whether you can afford it or not, if you call too high and end up not being the one who buys the item, you might have to prepare money for your own coffin.

Unfortunately, some people didn't know if they were just wealthy and willful or what, but they simply had to compete with others.

"Two million!""............"

The scene fell into a dead silence.

Even the host took a sharp breath.

Who could be so arrogant to bid over nine hundred thousand in one go?

Certainly not Green, as he had no time to create unnecessary enemies for himself, especially for something that seemed interesting but held no interest for him.

And Mio had no desire for it either, so there was no need to compete with them.

So Green was curious about just how wealthy this person must be to bid so boldly. Even though there was magic protection to shield and distort sounds for privacy, it didn't mean one was entirely secure, especially with such a blatant act of provocation.

It was as if they were saying, "I'm so rich, I can play with your [expletive] even if you're poor!"

Could anyone tolerate that?

Certainly not for those present.

Who were they?

They were the big shots in their respective fields.

With their status and positions, how could they tolerate such a challenge?

Immediately, someone defiantly bid again.

"Three million!"

"............"

The whole place fell silent once again, and the host on stage was astonished beyond belief.

How...they raised it by one million again?

Are they insane?

Although it was indeed outrageous, at a price like this, not everyone could continue to bid, especially for an unknown item like this, it was essentially a gamble.

Therefore, many people directly gave up on competing further.

"Four million!"

Quickly, the voice from before resounded once more. It seemed that this item would ultimately end up in the hands of these two bidders.

But another voice refused to be silenced. Just as the bidding reached four million, the voice rang out once again.

"Four million five hundred thousand!"

"Four million six hundred thousand!"

"Four million six hundred fifty thousand!"

"Four million seven hundred thousand!"

"Five million!"

After the shout of five million, there were no more subsequent bids. It seemed that the person who started with two hundred had already admitted defeat, and the people in the audience were completely confused by this bidding war.

For a long time, the host finally snapped out of it. At this moment, he felt like he was dreaming.

Originally, he would have felt satisfied raising the price by a hundred thousand, but he never expected that something with an original price of one million would actually be bid up to five million, and it was still an unidentified item.

However, he also knew it was not the time to be dumbfounded, so he immediately shouted:

"Five million once! Five million twice!! Five million three times!!! —— Let us congratulate participant number 666 for successfully winning this mysterious Flame Egg!"

But this time, the host didn't use the gavel to crack open the egg. Instead, after calming down, he explained to everyone.

"Because of the uniqueness of this auction item, the organizers do not allow me to break open this egg. Please understand. Now, let us welcome the final auction item of this auction!"

The host excitedly shouted, and the whole venue immediately buzzed with anticipation, even catching Green off guard.

There were so many treasures that appeared earlier, and no one was shouting and yelling, but now it was completely different. It was clear that the final auction item to be revealed would be extremely important.

At last, accompanied by the staff pushing forward an item covered in a black curtain, the surroundings fell quiet instantly, and Green noticed that the atmosphere in the venue had changed.

Green keenly felt the tense atmosphere in the room, and even the host, seeing the item being brought forward, had excitement flashing in his eyes.

This was the final auction item of the evening. Following the usual practice, the organizers would cover the true appearance of the last item, simple to build up the audience's anticipation.

But the value of this last item absolutely lived up to its treatment.

Green could sense that the people around him were starting to become restless, eager to claim the item on the stage. For this reason, Green couldn't help but become interested in the last auction item as well.

The host didn't immediately reveal what was under the black curtain, but instead excitedly explained.

"This is the final auction item of this grand auction event. Please seize this last opportunity. If you miss it this time, you'll have to wait another five years!"

"Five years? Hasn't it always been three years?"

"Did the host get too excited and say the wrong thing? Hahaha...!"

However, the host's face carried a faint smile as he calmly explained:

"That's right, it's five years. After discussion among our management team, the next auction will be held five years later after this one. So, if you are interested in the final auction item, be sure not to miss it!"

After listening to the host's words, no one in the audience continued to question. He wouldn't deliberately fabricate such lies just to increase competition. The atmosphere in the room instantly grew tense, almost suffocating.

For those who have already acquired their desired items, it didn't matter. But for those who haven't gotten what they wanted, they tightly held onto their wallets, ready to use money to kill.

According to past experience, the final auction item was always extremely precious, worth far more than the items auctioned in the previous days.

And Green's intuition was also telling him that the last item was not simple.

However, when Green weighed his wallet and realized that he might not be able to afford the item, he became instantly troubled. After all, he couldn't bring himself to commit robbery for no reason.

Just at that moment, the host on stage, under the anticipation of the crowd, pulled down the black curtain used as a cover, revealing the appearance of the auction item to everyone. However, the result left everyone disappointed.

"The final auction item is a sword from the Western Continent."
