Sacrifice's Rise: I Became Invincible After Entering Godslayer Temple
Chapter 88 87-The Auction Begins, Bone Spur DaggerChapter 88 Chapter87-The Auction Begins, Bone Spur Dagger
Unlike Darklord's blind confidence, the Wolf Guild on the other side was in a state of chaos.
Their guild leader and vice-leader had personally witnessed John's grand entrance to the auction.
Both their faces turned ashen.
"What is Galewind's identity? Why would it warrant Master Reo's personal reception?" The guild leader and vice-leader of Wolf Guild exchanged complicated looks.
The guild leader regretted being at odds with John before.
But what's done was done, there was nothing he could do about it.
He could only hope to have the opportunity to apologize to John after the auction.
After all, he still wanted to continue playing this game.
Crossing such a powerful enemy wasn't a wise move.
In contrast, Wolf Guild's vice-leader, Wolf Howl, wasn't that scared.
His gaze was filled with more hate and plotting.
John's eyes kept roaming, from the auction house's first floor, gradually moving towards the various boxes on the second floor.
The Dawn Breeze Auction House did a fantastic job in terms of privacy for its distinguished guests.
The floor-to-ceiling glass windows allowed the inside to clearly view the outside, but from the outside, not a thing inside could be seen.
It was clearly one-way glass.
John's gaze swept across the dozen or so boxes on the second floor.
He became curious about who represented the powers in these boxes.
The top ten guilds globally would undoubtedly be among them, along with the mysterious Travelers Association.
Thinking of the Travelers, a smile flickered at the corner of John's mouth.
He remembered an old friend who seemed to have a high status among the Travelers.
As John was pondering, a stunningly beautiful woman in a nearby box was also scrutinizing John's box.
Behind her stood three or four strangely dressed players.
They tightly wrapped themselves with their cloaks, wearing large hoods that concealed their faces.

His class and level are unknown, but he is closely connected with Blue Sea, the guild leader of Blue Sea Guild. We also heard that Galewind had conflicts with a few smaller guilds, but he always came out on top. We suspect that the two Legendary Equip at this auction could belong to Galewind."
Upon hearing the report, the beautiful woman smiled, instantly lighting up the box.
She sat with her curvaceous body elegantly displayed, her chest so full it threatened to burst her top.
"We don't need to investigate Galewind anymore. Everything you said is within my expectations. If anyone in this game could first obtain high-level items and equipment, it would undoubtedly be Galewind. I'm just curious about who would be foolish enough to be his enemy."
The woman's voice was clear and cold, displaying a superior aura.
Her words suggested she was not unfamiliar with John.
The reporting underling continued, "One is called Darklord Guild, a level two guild. They've had conflicts with Galewind from long ago. Their current strongest member, SoulSong, used to be in the same guild with Galewind, but for some reason, they went their separate ways. Another guild is Wolf Guild, also a level two guild. They had a dispute with Galewind recently over a trivial matter. However, they suffered heavy losses in that conflict. Blue Sea, the guild leader of Blue Sea Guild, personally led an attack on Wolf Guild, joined by the local Silverglow church and other small forces."
The smile on the beautiful woman's face deepened, her red lips curled into a mesmerizing allure.
"He's as popular as ever," she mused.
The underling who reported kept his head down, not daring to respond to the woman's soliloquy.
He was just curious as to why his guild leader, who usually kept a low profile, seemed so familiar with the player called Galewind.
He couldn't help but wonder what kind of relationship they had.
The underling mused, it had been a long time since he saw the guild leader wear such a radiant smile.
Apart from this box, people in other boxes were also speculating about John's identity.
Everyone had their own sources of information.
Yet, the information they could gather was extremely limited.
There was no information about John's past, nor about his profession.
Everything seemed mysterious and unpredictable.
Just as the various forces were intensifying their investigations into John, dazzling light suddenly lit up the auction hall.
A holy-light class character poured all their mana into the hall, activating the lighting system.
Dozens of light beams descended from above, illuminating the entire hall as bright as day.
These lights eventually converged on the stage above.
An ear-piercing drumbeat filled the room.
The sound of the drum was dull and grand.
The drumbeats became more rapid, finally drawing the attention of all the guests.
Their gaze followed the movement of the light, all focusing on the stage.
Dressed formally, Isabella walked into the light column and onto the stage,
"Good evening, first off, I'd like to extend a warm welcome to all of our esteemed guests on behalf of the auction house. This auction is organized by the Dawn Breeze Auction House with the purpose of passing on valuable items to their destined owners. We hope every guest here tonight can reap something and get what they desire."
Isabella's voice was crisp and pleasant, instantly igniting the passion of the audience.
"Get it started already, I can't wait."
"Hurry up, I've saved up a lot of money, just waiting to snag those two Legendary Equips."
"Dream on, do you really think you can get your hands on those?"
"I'm the Thunder Guild leader, who the hell are you to lecture me?"
"Thunder Guild? Never heard of it. Any tom, dick, and harry seems to think they can make a fuss here."
"How dare you insult my Thunder Guild, seems like you're tired of living."
"Stop shouting, even our Mountain Guild isn't talking. A no-name guild like yours shouldn't embarrass itself."
"Even though your Mountain Guild is all that, you're not ranking high here, are you?"
"What's all this noise about? The auction items haven't even come out yet, what's the point of arguing?"
"Exactly, let's see who's better when the time comes!" ...
The guests beneath the stage were getting restless.
Isabella gave a slight smile, much more composed than the previous auction.
After all, she had seen the spectacle last time.
Isabella waved her hand, signaling everyone to calm down, and then unveiled the first item on the stage by removing the dust cover.
A pristine white dagger equipment was revealed.
"This is the first item of our auction today, the Bone Spur Dagger. It's an assassin class equipment with excellent attributes. You can check out the specific attributes yourselves."
A projection panel appeared on the dagger, displaying its attributes:
[Bone Spur Dagger (Epic Equip): Forged by the renowned blacksmith Master O'Conner from the Northern Myst Empire, the material chosen was the spine bone of a lord-level boss, the Blizzard Lizard. Mixed with various precious metals, it greatly enhances the sharpness of the equipment.]
[Level: Usable by those level 80 or above, or those with Agility 100 or above]
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm[Attributes: +150 movement speed, +50 attack power]
[Additional skill: Deadly Strike. There is a 15% chance of executing an enemy whose health drops below 50%...]
The moment the attributes of this equipment were revealed, the audience beneath the stage erupted in excitement.
"Holy moly, the first item is an Epic Equip?"
"Is it really this intense?"
"I knew it, coming to this auction was the right move."
"No need to say, this 15% execution effect on low health enemies is enough to make all the assassins go wild."
At this point, no one was more excited than the assassin-class players.
Nearly all of them were salivating over the equipment, the yearning in their eyes practically turning into tangible beams of light.
Isabella gave a slight smile and gently said, "The starting bid for this Bone Spur Dagger is 15,000 gold coins, each raise must not be less than 5,000 gold coins."
No sooner had Isabella finished speaking, an eager lone assassin player in the audience raised his hand.
"20,000 gold coins, this dagger is mine."
Before he had finished, another lone assassin player scoffed, "20,000 gold coins to take home such top-notch equipment? I bid 25,000 gold coins!"
"30,000 gold coins!"
"You guys are too slow, I'm going straight to 50,000 gold coins!"
"75,000 gold coins!"
Other than lone players, some small forces could no longer hold back, and began to state their own bids.
Among them was a small guild from the Elf race.
The Elves were known for producing a high number of archers and assassins.
Among them, the Night Elves were all master assassins.
But the Elves were notoriously bad at forging, so they were desperately short of suitable equipment.
The Bone Spur Dagger was a godsend for them.
When someone bid 75,000 gold coins, most of the lone players conceded defeat.
This price was already quite high.
Even though it was an Epic Equip, its attributes were not exactly the best.
Just when everyone thought this dagger would be taken by the small Elf guild, a heavy voice suddenly rang out from the side: "85,000 gold coins!"
