"Sir, are you sure you want to hand over this spell template to our auction house for auction?"
Sitting on the chair, looking at Athir in a black robe in front of him, the old man named Gem couldn't help but confirm.
Generally speaking, those basic spell templates are fine, but most people would not choose to sell improved spell templates like this one.
The improvement of spells is an extremely difficult task in itself. Every improvement of a spell template requires a lot of effort and time to be successful. Naturally, no one on the battlefield would be willing to trade their hard work easily.
Listening to the doubts of the old man opposite, Atier's face remained calm and he nodded slightly to show his agreement.
"So, are you planning to sell it directly to our auction house? Or are you planning to let us auction it?"
At this time, the blonde female apprentice came forward, looked at Athir and asked.
"Is there any difference?" After listening to her words, Athir asked back with a calm expression.
"Of course." The blonde female apprentice nodded. "You can choose to sell it directly to our auction house. Just like a normal transaction, Master Gem will estimate the value of the spell template and negotiate a satisfactory price with you."
"This method is quick and convenient. As long as you agree, you can immediately get the magic stone of corresponding value."
She kept smiling, paused, and then said, "As for the second method, it is to follow the auction process."
"In this way, no matter what the final price is, you need to give us a handling fee equivalent to one-tenth of the final price, and you need to wait for a while."
"Personally, if you have the time, I recommend the second option."
With that smile on her face, she suggested to Athir.
"If I choose the second method, how many days do I need to wait?" Looking at the other party, Athir asked calmly.
"In two days, it will be the day when we hold the scheduled auction here. You just need to wait a few more days. It is not very long." The female apprentice explained.
"Of course, no matter which method you choose, you need to leave the construction data of the spell template so that we can better analyze the power of the spell template and whether it can be successfully constructed."
"After all, we also need to be responsible for our customers. We cannot allow a spell template to be auctioned off but then fail to be successfully constructed."
"We need all the information." Athir asked back.
"Of course not. That would be too much of a loss for you."
The female apprentice smiled and said, "You only need to leave most of the information so that we can estimate the expected strength of the spell. As for the specific algorithms and key parts of the construction, you can omit them and hand them over to us directly when the auction begins."
Hearing this, Athir nodded thoughtfully.
"Is there a problem with confidentiality here?" Standing in place, Atier asked calmly.
"Please rest assured about this." The female apprentice smiled and said, "Our Xile Auction House is the most reputable auction house in the entire Principality of Allen. We will never sell out our customers' information for any reason."
"Very good." Hearing this, Athir also smiled.
The two days of events passed quickly.
On the second night, Athir came here again.
Compared with the previous few days, there are obviously many more apprentices here tonight, and it seems that they all came for tonight's auction.
After entering, Athir came to an extremely spacious hall.
There were several hundred seats scattered around the hall, and in the front of the seats was a platform with someone standing on it.
Atier looked up and found that the person standing in front of him was the old apprentice named Gem.
At this time, he was wearing a brand new white robe, with a smile on his face, looking at the many apprentices below: "Welcome everyone to participate in our auction this time..."
After the scene ended, without any unnecessary ceremony, this small auction started directly.
"Now, it's our first auction item, the White Spirit Crystal!!"
Standing on the stage, Gem held a piece of white crystal in his hand and introduced it loudly to the many apprentices below: "White Spirit Crystal is a specialty of our area. It is rarely produced in other areas. Please allow me to briefly introduce its effects. After all, some apprentices here have never used this kind of thing."
"White Spirit Crystal is a companion mineral of the Magic Stone Mine. It can only be produced under certain conditions. Therefore, it is rarely seen in other places except around the Kingdom of Allen."
"This material can be used for meditation. Just put a piece of white spirit crystal on your body while meditating, and the speed of meditation will be accelerated, and it can even be doubled. And even if you are not a wizard, if you can wear a piece of white spirit crystal for a long time, it can slightly improve your body structure, and even resist the radiation of wizards to a certain extent, allowing mortals to exist around wizards."
At this point, he raised his right hand high, holding up the white crystal in his hand: "This piece of white spirit crystal is enough for meditation for three months. The starting price is fifty magic stones!!"
He shouted loudly, and with the help of magic, his voice spread throughout the hall so that all the apprentices could hear it.
"Sixty magic stones!"
"Seventy pieces!"
"I'll give you 100 magic stones!"
···········
As the voice in the front fell, the sound of apprentices bidding could be heard from the hall from time to time.
Soon, this piece of white spirit crystal, which was no bigger than a baby's fist, was bought for nearly four hundred magic stones.
Sitting in the corner of the hall, watching this white spirit crystal being bought by someone, Atier couldn't help but shake his head with some regret.
The growth of his mental power has become very slow now. Even after meditating for several months, his mental progress is still only a little.
White Spirit Crystal, a resource that can enhance the effect of meditation, is exactly what Athir needs.
"Unfortunately, this type of resource that can speed up the effect of meditation is generally quite expensive, and I need to save magic stones right now, so I'll have to miss it this time."
Seeing the white spirit crystal being bought away, he felt a little regretful.
The person who bid for the White Spirit Crystal was a third-class apprentice in a red robe. Everyone present took a brief look at him and then continued to look forward, ready to pay attention to the next item to be auctioned.
Next, more than a dozen items were auctioned. Although there were some good things among them, most of them were not as valuable as the Bai Ling crystal before. They were just a little rarer.
During the process, Atier also made several bids and spent dozens of magic stones to buy some rare materials.
"The next item to be auctioned is the spell template of Mana Beam!!"
At the front, Gem kept smiling and shouted to the apprentices below: "After hearing this, everyone may be wondering why such a basic spell can be auctioned by us."
"Because this is an improved spell template!"
At this point, he paused, and then continued to explain: "We all know that the strength of the spell of Mana Beam itself is not very high. It can only be used as a supplement or to deal with some mortals, but this improved spell template is different!"
"According to our auction house's professional testing, this improved spell template is not only twice as powerful as the basic version, but also more concealed. The most important thing is that while this spell has guaranteed power and concealment, the stability of the spell template and the consumption of mental power are almost the same as the original version!"
Hearing this, the faces of the apprentices below gradually became solemn.
As wizard apprentices, they knew very well the difficulty of improving spell templates, and they deeply understood that it was extremely difficult to improve a basic spell to this level.
Observing the reaction of the apprentices below, Gem nodded secretly, and then shouted: "The original mana beam can only play a supporting role, but this improved template can be used in high-intensity battles. Even a knight can be easily bound."
"The starting price is fifty magic stones!!"
After he finished speaking, the apprentices below were silent for a while before they started bidding.
"Eighty magic stones!"
"One hundred magic stones!"
The price of the spell template continued to rise amid the bidding of many apprentices, and soon reached three hundred magic stones.
Finally, this improved spell template was bought by the third-class apprentice who had previously bid for the White Spirit Crystal for three hundred and twenty magic stones.
Sitting in the corner, looking at the final transaction price, Atier was a little surprised.
In Athir's original estimate, this improved template of the Mana Beam could be auctioned for about two hundred magic stones. Now it seems that the value of the improved spell was somewhat underestimated.
But it seems normal when you think about it.
It is far from as easy for other apprentices to improve their spells as it is for Athir.
Athir has a memory chip. As long as he has enough basic knowledge, he can improve the spell template through the powerful computing power of the chip.
Like the spell of beam of mana in front of him, Athir has two or three improved versions in his hands, some of which are more inclined towards spell strength, and some are more inclined towards concealment.
The improved template that is being auctioned may be very valuable to other apprentices, but it is actually nothing to Athir.
After the auction was over, looking at the price, Gem smiled and said, "If you didn't win this improved spell, please don't be disappointed."
"Because our next auction item is still a modified spell template!"
Looking down, amid the stunned expressions of many apprentices, Gem said this loudly.
As time passed, a small auction ended quickly.
To the surprise of countless apprentices, three improved spell templates appeared in this careful auction, and each improvement was powerful and amazing.
There is no doubt that these two improved templates were taken out by Athir.
He was in urgent need of magic stones. Although the improved spell template was valuable, it was still a basic spell after all, and he had to pay a 10% commission to the auction house. If he only sold one, he might still be some distance away from the gap he had.
After the auction was over, Athir walked quietly to a hall, where a blonde female apprentice was already waiting.
