Omega Summoner
chapter-195

"VIP Room No. 7 has bid 100 gold coins for the Red Gem. Is there no one going to bid higher? Going once…Going Twice…Going Thrice…Sold to VIP Room No. 7!" Mei announced.

The people on the stands though are pissed off because it is clear that the person in VIP Room No. 7 just wanted to flex their money. Although 100 gold might not be much, there is still a possibility you might get outbid by 100 gold for a really great item. They all thought that 100 gold for an item just to warm you up is not worth the price.

They are also outrage as this VIP might just raise the prices voluntarily. Some even voiced their displeasure but Adrian did not pay attention to it. All he needs to know is that he secured the stone that can increase his fire resistance. Those in the room with Adrian though were looking at him with shock and wonder.

"Is it okay for you to buy that gem? There might be other thing that is more valuable." Cersei stated but in fact she did not mind. They already had a plan for Adrian to become indebted to them.

"It is fine. I think I got the stone rather cheap. Anyways, the next item is being auctioned." Adrian replied which made the others ponder on what he meant. The others decided to not pry any further and listen to the auction.

"The next item is something new added to our roster and is one of a kind. It is a first for even the merchant association to sell this." Mei announce which made everyone calm back down and observe the item in question.

The cloth is taken off and everyone had a displeased expression. All they saw is paper with just markings on it which is the reason of their displeasure. Sensing the discomfort in the crowd Mei immediately explained the item so that the excitement would continue.

"I see that some of you are disappointed but all of you will like this item. Let me explain what this item is. This is a talisman and the person who created this just recently registered his works at the merchant's guild. A demonstration is needed for all of you to believe how extraordinary this item is." Mei stated as she held one of the talismans.

Mei held the talisman so that the target dummy is facing the side with the inscriptions are written on it. She actually did not know how to activate it herself but she was there when the crafter of the talisman did a demonstration. She only needed to copy how Adrian actually activated the talisman.

"Activate!" Mei chanted.

A fire bird suddenly materialized as the talisman disintegrated. The fire bird shot towards the target dummy and a scorch mark could actually be seen. The others were not amazed by the damage as they saw that the damage value is only 500 or so but they should not expect much to a low leveled NPC.

"As you can see, the talisman has an attack spell attached to it that makes it amazing! Seeing as all of you are not believing then we will show you the details of the items." Mei exclaimed and she directed her hands to a projecting screen made by a crystal ball.

Item: Flame Bird Talisman

Tier: Rare

Type: Consumable

Effect: Consume the talisman in order to release a bird made of flames that travels in a straight line. If the flame bird collides with something then it will explode and deal damage. The first to be hit by the arrow will be dealt with 75% of the player's damage and the others in the two meter blast radius will be dealt with 75% of the player's damage. Has a 5% chance to inflict a burn status condition.

Cooldown: 10 seconds

Description: A rare talisman made by a Beginner Scribe that has yet to make a name for himself. He made this talisman after being inspired or so he believed. The Talisman is an upgrade of the Flame Arrow Talisman but it sacrificed its damage for low cooldown.

This were the spare talismans that Adrian made during his rest on his "training" that the Daemos Elders made him do. He went to Aernas and got 500 pieces of enchanted paper so that he could increase his scribe mastery. He is still having difficult breaking through to become an intermediate scribe as Aernas told him that he needed to become enlightened.

Everyone's eyes became wide when they saw the details of the item. This talisman actually had no mana requirements which would make it an excellent cover fire or diversion. It also has AOE with a status condition inflicting chance. The defining thing about the talisman is its damage modifier which makes it more appealing.

Seeing that the crowd had become silent due to the details of the item, Mei immediately announced the bidding rules of this talisman. She proceeded to flaunt her beauty while doing so which made all the men in the area look closer.

"The crafter of these talismans have given us 200 pieces of these. There would be ten sets that would be auctioned and each set consists of twenty talismans. The bid for each set will start with 50 gold and the increment per succeeding bid would be 1 gold." Mei exclaimed.

The players at the auction could not believe that the item is cheap considering the numerous usage of it. The auction suddenly became rowdy and numerous bids came from numerous players. Some even started throwing shade and that they would PK them if they do not back down. It was absolute chaos because of the usefulness and uniqueness of the item.

Each set managed to be sold by 180 to 200 gold so now Adrian just added an easy thousand or less gold coins on his pouch. The three women with Adrian did not bid because Adrian gave them ten talisman each as a thank you for inviting him in the auction. Even the other players saw that VIP Room No. 7 did not bid which made them wonder but forgot due to the heat of the competition for the talismans.

"Who do you think made these talismans? It seems that someone got a rare sub job class like the crafter for magical swords." A random player in the crowd whispered to someone next to him.

"He probably wanted to become anonymous or he would be hounded by players wanting to craft it for them. Some guilds even threaten some crafters so I would not blame him for being anonymous." The player next to him replied.

After the auction for the talisman ended, the atmosphere chilled down a bit and the bidding for items became normal. Adrian bid some items that his friends wanted like a rare skill book for healing magic for Levin Cloud, an epic tier stone for Peridot and other skillbooks that the rest wanted. The most expensive one he bid for was for Kabrakan called the Crystal Skin skillbook which is 3000 gold coins. This is almost Kabrakan's entire savings so Adrian could her him tearing up in their voice chat.

"We are finally in near the end of our auction! The next items would be the most important." Mei stated which made the crowd go all serious.

All of the VIP's are waiting for this segment of the auction as this is the only thing they really participated for. Even those in the bleachers are anticipating what the next batch of items look like. Even those that just entered in order to watch the auction paid close attention because the next segment is the real highlight of the auction.

"I am sure that all of you know that there are only supposed to be two items as finale but a patron gave us two more splendid items that could rival or may be even better than the original two we are supposed to auction." Mei announced which made all the people gulp.

Even those in the VIP room started contacting others in order to get more funds. It is clear that the VIPs know what the original two items are. Some of the VIPs even asked the merchant guild attendants but the attendants were ordered to not speak much about the two items.

"The first item to be auctioned is an armor set that is crafted by the Blacksmith Hanvil." Mei announced which made everyone pay attention.

Hanvil is the most famous blacksmith in the game that is said to be nearing Advance Blacksmithing mastery. He could even make magic swords by using rare rank materials so he is an important person for all players. Even the heads of the guilds must be respectful towards him because NPC blacksmiths just make standard equipment.

"Reveal it already!" someone shouted.

"Yeah! The suspense is killing me!" another shouted.

"I want to see the masterpiece so I could have inspiration." A blacksmith player muttered.

"Without further ado, let me reveal Blacksmith Hanvil's current masterpiece. It is an armor made from scales of a fire drake. It is the perfect armor for swordsman type users because of its flexibility and weight." Mei stated as the armor is revealed to the crowd which made everyone exclaim in shock.

"An epic armor that could evolve into a legendary. I got to admit that it is an amazing feat considering a player made it. His mentor might be a demigod blacksmith or being close to one if he could make that type of armor." Adrian whispered to himself as he used his evil eye to see the armor's information.
