However, Niya's heart was soon gripped with anxiety once again.
She feared—would such a high price fail to attract buyers?
Niya lacked confidence in the magic offered by Yann.
Expressing her concerns to Yann, he chuckled lightly, "Rest assured, would the magic crafted by Yann, the sovereign lich, not find buyers? You underestimate me."
Seeing Niya's lingering uncertainty, Yann continued, "Even great minds have proclaimed that science and technology are the primary productive forces. What more do you doubt?
When an expert makes a move, one can tell whether there's substance. My mastery of dark magic, immersed in it for tens of thousands of years, is beyond your comprehension."
"Science and technology as the primary productive forces? I don't recall any great minds in our world saying such words."
Niya, due to her sealed magic practice, hadn't made much progress, but her theoretical knowledge was extensive.
Niya's interest lay in reading. Among the books she had read, she had never come across any account of a great mind saying such words.
"Um..." Yann paused, "These aren't from your world's great minds. Don't overthink it. Instead, see how much our magic schematics can fetch."
Hearing Yann's deliberate evasion, Niya pursed her lips.
But her attention was soon captivated by the auction scene.
"Eleven thousand!" As Coleman's voice fell, a man who looked like a merchant stood up, holding a sign with "eleven thousand" written on it.
At the same time, Niya, sitting in the private room, also stood up, happily tapping Yann's helmet under his cloak with her hand.
"Fifteen thousand!" A person holding a staff stood up from the crowd and shouted.
"Bang!!" Yann's helmet was hit again.
"Twenty thousand!" The merchant who had just bid raised the price.
After bidding, the merchant looked disdainfully at the mage.
As the mage's face turned dark with embarrassment, he shot a fierce glare at the merchant and sat down with dignity.
Seeing the mage's defeat, the merchant felt a sense of satisfaction. He felt that he was one step closer to obtaining this advanced magic.
"Thirty thousand!" A mercenary in plate armor made the offer.
An entire ten thousand increase! It takes quite the courage to do so. This mercenary must be quite the tycoon.
Everyone looked at the mercenary with admiration, as if saying, "Tycoon, shall we be friends?"
But some revealed an expression that seemed to ask, "You're not a mage, so is buying the magic schematic useful to you?"
The wealthy mercenary smirked contemptuously, his eyes revealing a message: "Scram. Who wants to be friends with you?" "Though I may not need the magic schematic, my girlfriend will love it!"
The crowd erupted. This tycoon was truly a man of passion and sentiment!
"Thirty thousand! Thirty thousand!" Niya picked up the hammer on the table used to crack nuts and knocked on Yann's helmet.
Coleman on stage shouted, "Thirty thousand once. Does anyone raise the bid? After three times, if no one raises the bid, this magic schematic will go to this mercenary and his girlfriend."
A few seconds later, just as Coleman was about to call the second time, a big shot in the private room made an offer.
"Fifty thousand." A big shot in the private room lightly pressed a button in his hand and said calmly.
Look at that, casually mentioning fifty thousand gold coins, with no change in tone. This is a true tycoon!
In the private room, Sugel looked at the shocked expressions of the people in the auction hall, smiling faintly as he swirled the wine in his glass and drank it down.
As the head of the Billy family, Sugel Billy's wealth was unimaginable to ordinary people. The property accumulated by the Billy family over the centuries had reached an unimaginable figure. Although fifty thousand gold coins might not be a small sum for them, it definitely couldn't be considered large.
"Fifty thousand! Fifty thousand!" Niya was filled with the aura of gold coins from head to toe. Yann even saw small mountains of gold coins appearing beside her. Could this be
Niya's domain?!
Hearing the bid from the private room, Sugel almost sprayed the wine on the coffee table.
This was obviously a direct challenge! Did they look down on the Billy family?
Instead of dispelling Sugel's thoughts, the bid of one hundred thousand only fueled his competitive spirit even more. It had been many years since he had encountered someone daring to challenge him, Sugel Billy.
Unexpectedly, today in this auction house, he saw something that interested him, and someone dared to make a move against him, Sugel!
"Bang! Bang!!" Just as Sugel was about to raise the bid, the door of the private room was suddenly knocked on.
"Come in." Sugel straightened himself and said.
The one who came in was an attendant from the auction house, holding a piece of ordinary paper in his hand, but this ordinary piece of paper was imbued with powerful magic.
"Sugel Billy, this is something the person who bid one hundred thousand in the auction hall asked me to pass on to you." The attendant placed the paper on the table and bowed respectfully.
After Sugel waved his hand, the attendant withdrew.
Sugel picked up the paper, glanced at it lightly, and immediately gave up the idea of competing with the person below.
Joking, did they even know what kind of person they were dealing with!
The power of this piece of paper was terrifying.
In the end, the item was sold for a sky-high price of one hundred thousand gold coins. It became the hottest topic of discussion in Sacred Heart City in recent years, becoming a hot topic of discussion for people after dinner.
On one hand, people were discussing who had such wealth to bid one hundred thousand for this schematic, while at the same time discussing who sold the schematic.
