"3100 gold moores!"
"3200 gold moores!"
"3400 gold moores!"
"..."
In the end, the froststeel armour ended up in Locke's hands for 4,000 gold moores.
Despite its impressive defensive capabilities and enchanted runes, the reason for the low price was due to the material used to forge it.
Froststeel, as the name suggested, was a metal with an extremely low temperature. Only the barbarians of the north would be able to use such a mineral that was only found in the frozen tundra.
Among normal knights, only those who practised fire impetus or ice impetus would choose to equip themselves with this armour.
The former could resist the low temperature effects of froststeel armour through their endless fire impetus, while the latter could use the low temperature of froststeel armour to increase the power of their ice impetus.
However, it seemed that there were very few knights amongst the nobles present today who practised either of these two types of impetus.
Locke guessed that the only reason the price was still raised to 4,000 gold moores was because of the wind spell engraved on it, other than the shills at the auction.
Armor enchanted with magic was beyond the scope of ordinary armor. Professionals called this kind of armor Magic Armor.
However, this Body Lightening Spell was not very useful. Entry-Level Wind Spells had limited effects on Knights. If the Body Lightening Spell was changed to Temperature Raising Spell, the value of this armor would increase by several folds. This was because it could offset the low temperature of the Winter Iron Armor.
However, the alchemist was obviously not skilled enough. Heat Raising was already considered a fire spell. Fire and ice had always been at odds with each other, and the slightest mistake would result in an explosion. The explosion caused by two entry-level spells was enough to cause damage equivalent to a low-rank spell.
This was also why Angelina's alchemy table was so hard. If it wasn't, it wouldn't be able to withstand the explosion caused by a failed alchemy experiment.
Locke chose this froststeel armour mainly to train himself. He could resist the froststeel armour's frost effects through a steady stream of impetus.
Moreover, froststeel armour's defensive capabilities were outstanding as well. It was already comparable to light heavy armour. Although Lighten Spell wasn't very useful, it was still useful.
Billie understood Locke's actions. Normally, she would have advised Locke not to buy the froststeel armour. However, after knowing that Locke had blood essence, the froststeel armour's cold air was nothing to her.
One gram of blood essence could help Locke resist the froststeel armour for a whole day. The froststeel armour's cold air could also help Locke absorb the essence of the blood essence.
Locke didn't bid for the last few items as he didn't have enough capital to support his extravagant spending.
"A spatial ring with an internal space of 30 cubic meters called the 'Space Heart'." Only Angelina's black pearl was comparable to this type of spatial gear. The spatial rings of Locke, Glace, and the others were only one-seventh the size of the Heart of Space.
In the end, it was bought by a noblewoman in a black lace dress for thirty thousand gold moores. He couldn't see her face because she was wearing a hat.
"A staff that can cast a high-rank dark spell, the Sphere of Annihilation." A middle-aged nobleman with a big belly bought it for ten thousand gold moores.
He felt that his decision to use Angelina's Fireball staff to wipe out a group of bandits had been extremely foolish. How much gold moores had he lost because of that?
"A painting by Master Da Vinci from hundreds of years ago called the White Album." The final price was twenty-eight thousand gold moores, which was close to the final price of the spatial ring.
The final item turned out to be the egg of a high-rank major monster, a flaming tortoise.
It wouldn't have been a big deal if it was just a high-rank major monster's egg, but when the emcee mentioned that many high-rank casters had personally verified that there were two embryos in the egg, the crowd went wild.
It was actually a double-yolk egg!
When a mage signed a contract with a magical pet, if they were not strong enough, most of them would choose a magical beast in its infancy as their contract partner. As for oviparous magical beasts, most of them were unhatched, so it was best to sign a contract.
At that time, the major monster would have the highest compatibility with the caster and their loyalty would be guaranteed.
For example, Angelina's scorpiondrake monster pet. This double-yolk egg wasn't as simple as it seemed. If a caster could successfully form a contract with it, it would mean that the caster would have two high-rank major monsters, flaming tortoises, at the same time.
If they could have two high-rank major monsters to stabilize their families in the future, gold moores wouldn't be a problem at all.
"Ten thousand gold moores!"
"Fifteen thousand!"
"Twenty-two thousand!"
"Thirty-four thousand!"
...
It didn't take long for the highest price set by the spatial ring to be broken.
This was only the beginning.
"Thirty-eight thousand!"
"Forty thousand!"
...
The nobles had gone crazy.
"Forty-seven thousand!"
"Fifty thousand!"
...
"Sixty-eight thousand! Are there any other bidders? The current price is sixty-eight thousand gold moores! "
The starting price of ten thousand gold moores was eventually raised to more than sixty thousand gold moores.
"Seventy thousand!"
"Seventy-two thousand!"
The auction reached its climax when the emcee announced the final price of seventy-two thousand gold moores.
Locke didn't get too excited. He nudged Billie, who was equally calm, and whispered, "Why aren't you bidding?"
Locke didn't have to be so careful. Their voices had already been drowned out by the nobles around them.
"What do I want it for?" Billie smiled. She didn't react like a caster at all.
"That major monster egg should be quite valuable, right?" asked Locke.
"Yes, that's right." Billie pinched her chin and nodded.
"Then why didn't you buy it?" Locke guessed that Billie's family didn't want to spend the money. Seventy-two thousand gold moores was enough to bankrupt a baron's family.
Billie's eyes narrowed into a smile. "They only consider the value of the egg. They don't consider what kind of egg it is."
Locke's mind went blank. "A high-rank major monster egg?"
"Haha!" Billie burst into laughter, revealing her pearly white teeth.
Her laughter was teasing, but Locke didn't get angry. He quietly waited for her answer.
Billie leaned over and whispered into Locke's ear, "The flaming tortoise matures in three hundred years!"
Locke's face flushed. He didn't expect to be teased by a little girl. ()
