His first reaction was that the Thunder Dragon Family was secretly involved.
This pattern, other wizards might not be aware of, but for Levi, who had spent time in Riptide City, it was all too familiar.
Riptide City had experienced a similar situation before the major turmoil.
First, demons caused chaos, wizards mysteriously died or disappeared, and then the Thunder Dragon Family stepped in to clean up the mess.
“Sorrett has just left, and now this wizard market is plagued by demons. The Thunder Dragon Family is really shameless now, acting without fear! Could this family possibly collude with demons, aligning themselves with the Abyss, and no one is there to stop them?”
A silent rage burned within Levi. All he wanted was a quiet place for undisturbed cultivation.
Yet, the Thunder Dragon Family, like annoying flies, was causing trouble in Riptide City and now in Area 5’s Black Pearl Wizard Market.
“Do they really think of the Endless Sea as their backyard? Who exactly is backing the Thunder Dragon Family?” Levi pondered.
A Fifth-Circle Wizard family was indeed powerful, but in the vast Endless Sea, there were dozens of high-level wizard organizations, and being Fifth-Circle only placed them in the middle-upper tier, far from being considered a top-tier force.
In theory, the Thunder Dragon Family shouldn’t act so recklessly.
“Whatever, these power struggles among the lords are not something I can decide. If this market disappears, I’ll just leave. Maybe I should try that sub-dimensional portal and see if I can return to the human realm through it.” Levi calmed down and waited for the auction to begin.
The conversation between the two people didn’t use private communication and was intentionally made audible for others to hear, raising suspicions. Whether the information was true or false remained to be verified.
The auction was divided into three sessions.
The first and second auctions were mainly for First-Circle and Second-Circle Wizards. Levi rarely made a move, occasionally buying alchemical materials and recipes he didn’t possess.
In the private box, spiritual perception was isolated, so Levi wasn’t concerned about being targeted by others.
Finally, the auction for Intermediate Wizards like Levi began.
Although he didn’t know how many Third-Circle Wizards were participating, there were likely quite a few.
The beautiful auction witch presented the first item—a third-circle wizard tool resembling a compass.
“Ladies and gentlemen, this is a Third-Circle Wizard Tool, the Platinum Compass. A rare and exquisite defensive wizard tool that can generate a durable and powerful Third-Circle defensive force field, capable of withstanding ordinary Third-Circle spell attacks for a period. In addition, this compass can also provide directional positioning and launch magnetic field attacks. Starting bid: 20,000 Aether Stones, with increments of no less than 1,000 Aether Stones.”
Levi noticed that after the auctioneer finished speaking, the eyes of the wizards in the audience began to gleam with excitement.
Due to having the Golden Snake Scales and the Great Black Sky Curtain, Levi had no need for defensive wizard tools. However, for other Third-Circle
Wizards, having an additional layer of protective force field made the Platinum Compass desirable.
Levi, who hadn’t mastered the Third-Circle defensive force field, initially thought of bidding if he could get it at a low price. However, not long into the bidding, the price for the Platinum Compass surpassed Levi’s psychological limit.
Unfortunately, this Platinum Compass was different from ordinary defensive wizard tools. While others provided temporary defensive spells, the Platinum Compass offered a lasting defensive force field.
This unique feature led many Third-Circle and even Fourth-Circle Wizards to start bidding. For some ordinary Fourth-Circle Wizards, having an extra Third-Circle protective force field was a good choice.
In the end, the wizard tool was sold for a whopping one hundred thousand Aether Stones, leaving Levi feeling quite astonished.
Following that, several wizard tools were auctioned, including some excellent Second-Circle Wizard Tools and Third-Circle ones. However, there were no Fourth-Circle wizard tools; they were too rare for this nomadic wizard market.
Levi didn’t manage to acquire any, either because they were useless to him or too expensive.
“Next up is a rather special item, an ancient spatial ring that’s already out of production.”
The female auctioneer smiled as she held a tray with a black ring placed on it.
“Why bother auctioning off spatial rings?”
“Just so.”
Wizards in the audience teased. In this era, spatial ring technology had advanced significantly, offering larger storage space at an affordable price. Even low-level wizards usually didn’t need to worry about storage issues.
“Listen to me, everyone. Since we’ve brought it to auction, this ancient spatial ring, named the ‘Snake Eye Demon Ring,’ might seem small in storage space, but it solidifies a lost spell called ‘Snake Eye Demon Art.”‘
“The Eye Demon Art is an extremely special petrification-type spell. It disregards spiritual force assessment and realm, allowing you to launch a petrification attack on your enemy with a constant one percent success rate.”
“For those wizards who consider themselves lucky or enjoy collecting these ancient discontinued wizard tools, consider bidding on it. Even if used as a storage ring, it’s still an excellent choice.”
“Of course, there are some points to note. After our testing, the Eye Demon Art has a cooldown period of seven days after each use. Additionally, we couldn’t test its effectiveness on high-level wizards..”
