Chapter 504 Eustace’s Auction Items
Eustace’s expression turned solemn upon learning that the dagger had claimed the souls of twelve innocent children.
His sense of justice, unclouded by the influence of the Headmaster’s binding, caused him to feel a deep concern. As someone knowledgeable about the rituals of the Dark Arts, he had a clear understanding of how those twelve pure souls could be utilized.
“This Soul-Capturing Dagger is undoubtedly intended for a ritual that involves extending one’s life…” Eustace thought silently, his mind racing with the potential implications.
His gaze shifted towards the Holy Arts Practitioner, and as expected, the man showed no intention of freeing the souls of the children, as it would significantly impact the value of the item. Eustace let out a sigh, disappointed by the disregard shown towards those innocent lives.
Maurine, the manager with a well-endowed figure, interrupted the silence with a question. “Sir, would you like to have your items appraised here, or would you prefer to go elsewhere?”
The other customers looked at Eustace with smirks on their faces, seemingly amused by his silence. 𝘦.𝘤𝘰𝑚
With a resigned sigh, Eustace responded… “Since these gentlemen have boldly presented their items, I will do the same.”
With that, Eustace placed the Doombringer Ring, which he had extracted from the Evil Entity, along with the mysterious red feather emitting continuous heat that he acquired from the Ascension Tower, and the black stone he obtained from the same floor.
The ring was something he had no clue about. He only knew that it had a very aggressive energy around it. The red feather, on the other hand, seemed to have come from a firebird or maybe a fire phoenix if he was lucky. As for the black stone that aggressively absorbs the surrounding light, it seemed as if it was for crafting, but he was unsure.
The three items immediately captivated the attention of the group, as their value was evident even at a glance.
The old Appraiser was visibly surprised as he suddenly recognized the black ring.
“That ring… Is that a Doombringer Ring? You must suppress it quickly!”
Eustace was taken aback by the Appraiser’s recognition of the ring without even touching it, indicating that the Appraiser was undoubtedly knowledgeable in the field.
“Do not worry. I am currently suppressing all three items. Could you provide more information about this ring?” Eustace inquired, curious about the significance of the Doombringer Ring.
The Appraiser, visibly relieved, responded… “If this is indeed the Doombringer Ring, it is an item sought after by all Dark Arts Practitioners, particularly Necromancers. With this ring, one can easily transform humans or non-practitioners into zombies. It is an item that approaches the Sovereign Rank in power!”
At this revelation, the two customers who had previously regarded Eustace with contempt fell silent, realizing the immense value and potential danger associated with the items he possessed.
Maurine’s eyes sparkled with excitement upon hearing the appraisal of the Doombringer Ring. She acknowledged the extraordinary nature of the item and expressed her concern about its potential impact if purchased by someone with ill intentions.
“Whoever acquires this ring must have a reputable background. If it falls into the hands of an unstable individual, it could lead to significant trouble…” Maurine remarked.
She then turned to the old Appraiser for further insight. She sought his opinion on the value of the ring.
The old Appraiser pondered for a moment before responding.
“Determining the value of this ring is quite challenging. Its negative effects, which induce insanity in the user’s mind, are substantial. The wearer would need additional artifacts of similar power to protect their mind. However, if we were to assign a value to the Auction House, it could start at 30,000 zen, but it would potentially increase to 120,000 zen or even higher with proper advertising. An item that rivals Sovereign Rank artifacts is difficult to evaluate. Only the buyers can truly put a price on it… Do you really want to sell this item?”
The room buzzed with excitement as everyone absorbed this information.
As a matter of fact, the two customers, who were initially dismissive of Eustace, recognized that the Appraiser’s evaluation was rather modest.
In their minds, the ring could easily fetch double the amount if sold to the nobles. Despite its destructive potential, the nobles would undoubtedly be drawn to such a powerful item.
Eustace, however, hesitated to sell such a dangerous item…
He shook his head and stated. “I will consider selling it. Please proceed with the appraisal of the other two items.”
The Manager felt a tinge of disappointment, but she respected Eustace’s decision and allowed the Appraiser to continue with the evaluation of the remaining two items.
“Mhmm… Let’s see these two things…”
The Appraiser’s eyes widened in awe as he held and examined the radiant red feather.
“Ah, this is no ordinary feather…” He exclaimed.
“It possesses an intense heat from within, but it doesn’t hurt its surroundings… I’ve never seen one before, but all the clues are pointing to the Emberstrike Feather.”
Obviously, the others were clueless about this item, so they just listened silently.
As the Appraiser used a different inspection spell, he continued his evaluation. “The Emberstrike Feather holds immense elemental power, harnessing the essence of fire itself. It has the potential to enhance the abilities of a fire-based practitioner and could fetch a high price among elemental magic enthusiasts. I estimate its value to be around 15,000 zen, but with the right marketing and targeting the right audience, it could easily surpass 50,000 zen.”
The group listened attentively, captivated by the significance of the Emberstrike Feather. Its potential for amplifying fire-based spells and its rarity made it a coveted item among elementalists.
The Appraiser then turned his attention to the enigmatic black stone.
As he held the item and started using his Spells to peer through its mysteries, his eyes narrowed in concentration. “This stone… it exudes an aura of darkness and madness…” He mused.
“I’ve seen one of these with the size of a fingernail sold for 8,000 zen… I’m sure that this is a Blackheart Stone.”
