The eyes of everyone in the crowd widened as several suddenly threw their hands into the air, bidding plate in hand.
"550!" The first student spoke up, excitedly raising his voice.
"555!"
"560!"
Many others raised the bids by small amounts, as one voice shut those small bidders up.
"600!" Geld exclaimed as he raised his plate.
"700!" Israthel suddenly spoke as well, challenging Geld by raising the price by 100 right off the bat.
The auctioneer began to speak away as he saw the prices change so quickly.
"We have a 710! A 720 over here! Wait! Now the max bid is 750!"
He began pointing to randoms in the crowd as the price soared higher and higher.
Israthel gritted his teeth and raised his plate into the air for one final time, hoping it would be the final one that he had to do. "850 Riftstones!" He announced, silencing many more bidders.
