Strongest Mage with the Lust system

Siana's gaze went over the crowd and the guest rooms before she asked, "The guest from room number 2 has bid 350,000 low-grade Mana stones. Would anyone else like to raise the bid?"

After a while, when no one responded to her call, Siana announced, "This egg goes to the guest in room number 2."

After saying this, she gave the egg to an older man behind her and asked him to deliver it to Max's room, who immediately jumped down the auction stage and headed to the third floor.

Meanwhile, Siana took out a batch of triangular talismans and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, the next auction item is this batch of five grade three armour-piercing talismans. They are capable of destroying the defence of almost any three-star beast or most grade-three defensive. The initial bid for these is 25,000 low-grade Mana stones, and each bid should be no less than a thousand Mana stones."

"26,000!"

"27,000!"

"30,000!"

"33,000!"

"35,000!"

...

As soon as Siana's voice fell, everyone started bidding like crazy and in just a few moments, the price went past 40,000 Mana stones.

However, no one was surprised or discussed it because this type of reaction from everyone was expected since the talismans like these were very useful for people weaker than the three-star mages and would prove to be like life-saving talismans in many situations.

Even for three-star mages, these talismans were quite handy since they could be used at a moment's notice and had the power of a normal attack from the three-star mage.

Max also wanted to buy them; however, he didn't make any bid because he didn't want to lessen his chances of buying the spirit fruits by spending more Mana stones when he didn't know how many he would get after selling the [Destruction wheel] spell which he put up on for the auction.

Knock! Knock!

Just then, someone knocked on the door.

"Dear guest. I'm here to deliver the item you just won." An elderly voice sounded from outside the door.

Max signalled to the servant girl standing near the door to open the door.

Weng!

The door opened, and in came the old man who had been standing behind Siana a while ago. He was an average-looking Elvin man and had a professional smile as his gaze scanned the people in the room.

When he saw little Arya, he didn't seem surprised as he smiled and bowed lightly toward her, "Saint girl!"

Little Arya nodded and asked excitedly, "Grandpa, did you bring the egg? Show me!"

The old man nodded at her before shifting his attention to the sole male in the group, Max. He then took out a wooden box and gave it to him, saying, "Dear guest, please verify the contents."

Max took the box and opened the lid. The golden egg with dark patches over it was lying there. When he held it in his hand, it felt like he was holding a heavy rock.

'I'll soon have a king-level pet!' Max felt excited thinking about this.

"Big brother, can I hold it?" Little Arya's voice jolted him out of his thoughts.

"Yeah, sure, but make sure not to drop it." Max gave it to her and cautioned her despite knowing that a simple fall wouldn't be enough to break it.

"Oh, it's too heavy!" Little Arya struggled to hold it in her tiny hands.

While little Arya curiously played around with it, the old man said, "Since the item has been delivered, I shall take my leave. Please enjoy the rest of the auction."

"Thank you for bringing it over." Max nodded. He was surprised when the old man didn't mention anything about the payment because he knew the lady from before must have already informed them of their agreement.

After the old man left, Belen, Leticia and Rima also checked out the egg. Rima couldn't hold back her curiosity and asked, "Max, do you really have a way to hatch it?"

At this question, Everyone, including the servant girls, focused their attention on him.

Max only shrugged his shoulders and said, "Maybe."

"Hmph! What kind of answer is that?" Rima huffed in anger but didn't ask again.

Max only smiled at this. He knew she wasn't angry or anything.

If only they were in the room, Max would've told them the truth. However, since there were servant girls present, too, he knew the auction house would find out if he did so, and he didn't want to take the unnecessary risk. Who knows, they might kidnap him to extort his method. After all, a king-level pet's temptation was irresistible.

After that, he turned his attention to the ongoing auction. After the talismans sold for around 100,000 Mana stones, many valuable things came out, but it frustrated him quite a bit because he couldn't bid for them.

He only prayed that his spell would come out sooner so that he would know how many Mana stones he had to bid for the rest of the items after it sold.

...

After more than two hours had elapsed and many items had successfully sold, Siana raised her hand to quieten the excited crowd and announced, "Ladies and gentlemen, now it's time for the finale. We have prepared three items for the finale for you, so be prepared."

Upon hearing this, the crowd broke into a discussion.

"Three items? Weren't there only spirit fruit for the finale?"

"Who knows! But that's even better. I'm sure the other two items won't be any less valuable than spirit fruit."

"Yeah, I really want to know what the items are for them to be regarded as the finale items."

It was not only the crowd in the auction hall which was excited; the guests in the guest room on the second and the third floor were the same. They immediately started amassing their wealth to bid on the items in case they were useful to them.
