Not only Lucas but everyone was surprised with the insane spending of the weapons pavilion.

Even though 20000 gold coins was not a huge amount, it was not a small amount either.

To be able to spend on all the auction items, was just a waste of money in the opinion of many onlookers.

As for the weapons pavilion, why would they care about others? They will say something all the time.

“Grayeye family can pay 3500 gold coins.”

Until now, whenever the guilds were bidding, all the top families stayed silent; however, the item in front of them was a priceless treasure for those who are sending their youngsters. So, the Grayeye family was the first one to join the bid against the guilds.

“Honorwolf family – 4000 gold coins.”

“Windcrusher family – 4100 gold coins.”

Soon, the other two top families joined the bidding war as the price for the Life-saver talisman was escalated to the next level.

It didn’t stop there as both the guilds and the top families continued their bidding because the price of a single advanced spell starts from one hundred thousand gold coins.

With the help of this talisman, not only their participant would not fear death and his chances of getting the basic, intermediate and even advanced spell would be increased.

So, they were willing to fork out all their resources for the talisman.

“Guild master, what are you planning to do by writing down those names?”

While the bidding war was going on, in the assassin guild’s small chamber, the twins Killblade and Killslash looked at the guild leader Ghost snake and asked.

“This is called keeping track of all the resources in our surroundings.”

The Ghost snake replied with a slight smile.

“What? Are you going against all the guilds and the top families?”

For some reason, Killblade was shocked by Ghost snake’s words as he asked while squinting his eyes as though he was thinking something.

“Do you think we will stand a chance against them? They are the guild masters and the family heads.”

Ghost snake scoffed at Killblade’s words as he continued, “As long as we need something in the future, we can just check who has the item and use our methods to get them. It might be tomorrow or it might be a week later or a year later.”

Assassin guild is the only guild that didn’t get a single item in this auction so far and from the looks of it, they were not planning to buy the next items too.

“Understood, guild leader.”

Both twin assassins nodded their heads before one of them asked, “Guild leader, what about the bulk order? Who are we going to assassinate this time?”

For the members of the assassin guild, ‘Bulk order’ is a generous mission and the rewards for it would be higher too. So, everyone looks forward to the ‘bulk order’.

Killblade and Killslash were no different as they asked the guild leader about it.

“You will know when all the other assassins assemble in the guild. So, be patient.”

Ghost snake didn’t reveal what this year’s ‘Bulk order’ was as he kept them in suspense.

‘…’

The twin assassins were speechless as they continued to watch the bidding war.

In the mages guild’s small chamber.

“Son, did you see that. That is the craze for our life-saver talisman.”

Elliott was smiling from ear to ear as he told his son Felix.

“Congrats, father.”

Felix was happy for his father and suddenly, he thought about something as he asked, “Father, why didn’t you auction more items like rank 3 strength crystals?”

“Selling them here is the worst thing to do; instead, I will be sending them to the royal city’s auction house where I can exchange for good cultivation resources; instead, of gold coins.”

Elliott replied without thinking much.

“Oh.”

Felix nodded his head.

“Alchemy guild will be taking it for 10000 gold coins.”

Finally, the alchemy guild master shouted his bidding amount.

“10000 gold coins, once….twice…thrice.”

“And the life-saver talisman goes to the alchemy guild.”

The host looked at the other chambers that quietened down after the old man’s huge bidding amount. So, she finalized the deal.

“Next time is also related to the same dungeon and it is a rough map of the dungeon. With a starting price of 10 gold coins.”

Since the day is coming to an end, the beautiful host wanted to finish the last few items soon. So, she gave a brief explanation about the item.

“50 gold coins, if you bid any further, I will not be bidding anymore. Feel free to bid higher to get it.”

Once again, it was the alchemy guild who bade for the item and at the same time, he warned that he would be not bidding more than that.

No one said anything as they were thinking whether it was worth it or not to buy a rough map.

A rough map, as the name suggests, will not be 100 percent accurate.

Even the weapons pavilion head, who was eager to oppose the alchemy guild master, didn’t bother to bid.

“100 Gold coins.”

All of a sudden, a voice resounded in the auction house that surprised everyone.

‘Who is buying a rough map for 100 gold coins?’

‘I think he is out of his mind.’

‘At most, there will be a couple of locations for the cultivation resources in it.’

‘Wait…it came from the seventh chamber. The so-called lucky family is fooled by the guild master Elliott.’

‘Looks, no one is coming forward to bid for the rough map, because they knew it was not worth it.’

All the onlookers knew that it was basically worthless to buy it.

Nevertheless, they didn’t bother much except for laughing at the bidder.

As for the bidder, it was none other than Lucas who bid for it.

In the seventh chamber.

“Big brother, it looks so ugly. Why did you buy it?”

Evan, who looked at the ugly beast skin map in the hands of the beautiful female host said to Lucas.

From the side, Bernard didn’t mind the ugliness of the beast skin map; however, he also felt it was wasting 100 gold coins.

Nevertheless, he didn’t say anything as it was just 100 gold coins.

‘As long as the family head learns from his mistake, 100 gold coins is nothing.’

That was the only thought in the old Bernard’s head.

“Evan, never judge something by its appearance.”

Lucas didn’t mind the whispers of the onlookers and calmly replied to his little brother with a slight smile on his face.

‘System, I hope there is something better in it.’

At the same time, he seriously said those words to the system.
