Wizard: I Can Refine Everything-Chapter 294 - 14 Star Vengeful Ghost Power Furnace_2

Chapter 294 -14 Star Vengeful Ghost Power Furnace_2

“This is our Chief Auctioneer, Master Brown, a soul, an Alchemy Dual-School Wizard, particularly skilled in the field of Alchemy, especially Natural History.

He can identify all sorts of strange and rare items.

And in the area of Soul Studies, his major is…”

“Charm,” Richard interrupted.

“He had a very approachable feel the first moment I saw him, which makes one can’t help but want to befriend him.

Honestly, I find such wizards annoying; they can influence our perceptions.”

Richard said as he frowned at Bob:

“Can such a wizard really be your chief auctioneer without any wizards complaining about his spells?”

Bob grinned sheepishly, “Well… there have been complaints. But since Master Brown always manages to fetch the highest prices, we just let those complaints go.

Plus, Master Brown is very discreet; he only casts Mind Suggestions, which are far from manipulating the mind.”

On the auction stage, Brother first exchanged pleasantries with a few old customers to warm up the atmosphere.

Then he promptly presented the first auction item—a beautifully crafted Silver Wand.

“This is today’s top item, a Elemental Enhancement Wand crafted by Master Ekrol, made from a low-purity secret silver alloy with a ten-centimeter diameter elemental crystal ball mounted on the tip.

The wand enhances Four Elements Magic up to a thousand energy levels, making it a rare high-quality wand.

Starting bid, five thousand Magic Essences, does any master want to bid… five thousand five hundred Magic Essences; Master Thirty-Five bids five thousand five hundred Magic Essences.”

The auction, hosted by the Nine Stars Chamber of Commerce, featured items impressive enough to be centerpieces at lesser auctions.

After Brown finished detailing the wand, wizards in the hall immediately began to bid.

Soon, the price of the wand, enhancing all attributes by a thousand energy levels, had soared to ten thousand Magic Essences.

Richard, in the room, was also greatly keen on this piece.

Undoubtedly, it was a fine wand.

If he could win it, he would not just acquire the wand itself but also the artisanship behind it.

Even without the technique, a wand that could enhance Four Elements Magic by a thousand energy levels was an urgently needed item for Richard, about to enter the Academy Wars.

…

After reaching ten thousand Magic Essences, the bidding pace of wizards in the hall considerably slowed.

It wasn’t long before the price of the wand stalled at eleven thousand five hundred Demon Crystals.

“Eleven thousand five hundred Demon Crystals, does any master wish to bid further? This wand can enhance the power of Four Elements Magic by a thousand energy levels, a top-grade item among wands… Twelve thousand Demon Crystals!

Guest number twelve bids twelve thousand Demon Crystals!”

Brown nodded slightly towards the guest rooms on the second floor of the auction hall, and the wizards in the hall also followed Brown’s gesture with their gazes.

At the window of the guest room, a masked wizard in a black robe was holding a sign.

“Twelve thousand Demon Crystals, twelve thousand Demon Crystals, does any master wish to bid?

If not, then this fine wand crafted by Master Ekrol will belong to guest number twelve.”

The hall was silent.

Brown slammed down his auction gavel, smiling and nodding at Richard:

“Congratulations to guest number twelve for winning this fine wand crafted by Master Ekrol.”

Bob, sitting next to Richard, somewhat puzzled, asked:

“Brother, aren’t you an Alchemy Wizard? Don’t Alchemy Wizards really dislike using wands crafted by other wizards?”

For an Alchemy Wizard, making a magic wand is a basic skill. An Alchemy Wizard who can’t make a good magic wand would be laughed out of town.

“Alchemy necessitates learning from a variety of sources. I’m not deeply versed in the creation of magic equipment, so looking at the Master’s work should help me progress in alchemy.”

Richard found a casual excuse and then returned to his seat.

According to the order of the auction manual, none of the next items were of much use to him.

Items came up for auction one after the other but compared to the fiery competition for the first magic wand, these items seemed rather lackluster.

Even so, none of the items sold for less than seven thousand Magic Essence.

As the items were auctioned off one by one, it soon came to lot number thirty-nine that Richard was interested in.

“Lot thirty-nine, a mysterious object made by a creature from the Otherworld. This item comes from a distinguished guest of our Chamber of Commerce who joined us at the last minute, and it was not mentioned in the previous auction manual. I must apologize for this.”

Brown bowed slightly to the many customers and then began to introduce this special item.

“The owner of this item is a Three Rings Wizard, and its origin is quite mystical. Our guest was researching an ancient ritual when he accidentally communicated with a distant Otherworld creature. In that communication, he spent no less than five thousand Magic Essence to obtain this item from that Otherworld creature. If he were not currently deep in debt, I believe he would never have put this item up for auction.”

Instead of describing its capabilities, Brown focused on telling its backstory while presenting lot number thirty-nine.

To those in the know, this was a very clear signal. If not for the story behind it, the item wouldn’t have a selling point.

An Otherworld creation that loses one Magic Stone’s worth of energy per minute might find buyers at a general auction with the hope of finding a bargain.

But at a top-tier auction hosted by the Nine Star Chamber of Commerce, where countless superior items are available, no one would waste their money on something with unknown uses.

As Brown expected, after he finished introducing the item’s capabilities and price, not a single Wizard raised their paddle.

Wizards have limited funds, and at this auction where the starting price was five thousand Magic Essence, no one wants to be the fool.

After a brief silence, Brown turned his gaze to the upper tier of private booths. At this moment, only these distinguished guests might place a bid.

“Is there a distinguished guest willing to bid on this item, an artifact even a Three Rings Wizard couldn’t fully research, which definitely harbors great secrets?”

As his gaze swept over each private room, he was met with continued silence.

While the guests were wealthy, they were no fools.

Who would spend five thousand Magic Essence on such an item?

Even the Nine Star Chamber of Commerce’s appraiser could only provide such a basic appraisal, lacking any additional selling points.

Most likely, they would end up using it as a mere decorative piece.

Decorative items for five thousand Magic Essence were a luxury only a Great Wizard could afford.

The room fell silent once again.

“Well, it seems the esteemed masters aren’t too fond of this item. I am regretfully going to announce…”

But just as Brown was about to declare the item unsold, a paddle suddenly caught his eye.

Brown’s face brightened slightly, and his voice was a bit louder than usual.

“Guest number twelve bids five thousand five hundred Magic Essence!”
