Chapter 490: Chapter 22: The Gathering

Baggen sighed and said, “I don’t know the details very well. After the incident, my contact with Calvin was already cut off.”

Lynch said, “I see…”

“If there’s any news over there, please, Sir Red Beard, send someone to inform me. I’m quite eager to know the situation there myself.”

Although Wizard Calvin had tricked him before, that was purely a matter of differing positions, a natural class opposition, with no personal grievances involved. In fact, from a personal emotional standpoint, their relationship should be quite amicable.

After all, both he and Calvin’s appointed successor have that kind of relationship.

Calvin’s subsequent actions proved this point. After Lynch left that land, Calvin immediately arranged for people to try and protect him, indicating that there were indeed no personal conflicts between them.

Moreover, Lynch heard from Fran that the reason his friends and family weren’t subjected to retaliation by the ruling class after the Punishment Square event was also thanks to this Green Wizard Calvin.

In short,

for both relational and rational reasons, Lynch was very concerned about the situation over there.

Baggen nodded, “Certainly will.”

Their conversation came to a close at this point, and Witch Kalsa chimed in.

This Frost Witch looked at Lynch with a complex expression, “So, should I address you as Lord Saphiro now, or as Mr. Lynch?”

After learning Lynch’s true identity from Baggen, Kalsa was truly surprised.

Originally thinking Lynch was already impressive being someone of her generation, she couldn’t have imagined that he used merely 100 years to traverse the Wizard’s Road, a time even far less than some of her apprentices on this path.

Just a hundred years…

From an apprentice to where he now held a powerful position in the Jade Land with the Second Tier Mystic Technique, his power even surpassing her own.

As a Wizard also striving for eternity, she truly felt quite hurt.

Lynch shrugged, “Either is fine.”

But after a pause, he added, “Though if it’s not necessary, I still prefer being called by my current name since I haven’t used ’Lynch’ for a long time.”

Though his identity had been cleared, that was a name from the Ancient Ruins.

For many years here in the Jade Land, he had always used the name Saphiro. Here, his students, subordinates, allies, partners, and all the people governed under the Witch Domain only know the name Saphiro.

The name itself has become a symbol here, so there’s no need to change it further.

Kalsa laughed, “Well then, pleased to make your acquaintance, Lord Saphiro.”

Lynch also smiled in return, “Glad to meet you, Your Majesty the Queen.”

Then chatting about fairly nonsensical matters at the venue, which lasted for over half an hour, the gathering was smoothly underway.

A neat and efficient young lady stepped up to the podium below and smiled, greeting everyone, “Welcome, Lord Wizards from the Jade Land, I am the organizer for tonight’s gathering, Sophie.”

“Firstly, thank you all for your support, taking precious time out to participate in our gathering hosted by the Clophes family, much appreciated.”

“For this, our Clophes family also guarantees to all lords that tonight will not disappoint, bringing you only the rarest and sincerest items.”

“Now, let the gathering officially begin. Let us introduce tonight’s first item.”

After the opening speech, host Sophie waved a hand, and two maids stepped up carrying a box, placing it on a display table at the center of the podium.

Sophie then opened the box to reveal its contents.

Inside the box… was a flower, an extraordinary flower.

It looked somewhat like a rose but was crystal clear, much like an intricately carved crystal ornament. Yet the swaying petals and flower revealed it was a real bloom.

More notably, at the center of its petals was a faint image of a young maiden, curled up, occasionally turning her head to gaze around, vividly lifelike.

Sophie began her introduction, “The first item, Crystal Flower Spirit, please take a look.”

“Crystal Flower Spirit! It’s actually the Crystal Flower Spirit!”

“This… this is the miraculous item capable of soul purification? It really exists?”

Instantly, a commotion erupted from the audience.

The Crystal Flower Spirit is a High-level Magical Plant with incredible effects, capable of purifying souls, and enhancing soul purity.

Everyone knows that the most difficult step for wizards to advance to the Mystic Technique is improving soul purity.

In the past, the Ancient Ruins went to the lengths of concocting all sorts of ridiculous banners to establish rules, luring many Muggle Apprentices into the Land of Blood to die for what purpose? Wasn’t it just to use them as nourishment for the Blood Crystal, which could enhance soul purity?

Despite such complex processes even requiring apprentices as nourishment for the growth, the Blood Crystal’s soul purity enhancement was merely a few percentage points of around 10%, whereas the Crystal Flower Spirit here was reputed to enhance soul purity by a significant 30%!

This indicates just how strongly this magical plant tempts wizards.

Sophie spoke, “The first item, Crystal Flower Spirit, starting bid 100,000 Magic Stone!”

Compared to the immense value of the Crystal Flower Spirit, this starting bid might as well be a giveaway. As soon as Sophie finished speaking, bidding erupted in the venue.

“I bid 200,000!”

“300,000 Magic Stones, I want this Crystal Flower Spirit!” The source of this content ɪs novelꜰire.net

“300,000 to buy? Dream on! I bid one million, one million Magic Stones!”

“Two million!”

In just a few minutes, the Crystal Flower Spirit bid had already soared to two million, multiplying by twenty, showing how fierce the competition was.

While the outside was intensely competitive, inside the private boxes on the second floor, those with genuinely powerful influence appeared quite relaxed.

Baggen sipped from the Elf Morning Dew on the table and smiled while asking Lynch, “Lord of Fiery Flame, Sir Saphiro, aren’t you going to join in and play?”

Lynch shrugged, “With such a low bidding price, I initially wanted the outside to compete for it, but since you’ve asked… I’ll join in the fun.”

After saying so, he whispered a few words to a nearby Enchanting Demon Maid.

Up till now, within his powers, aside from himself, there hadn’t been any Second Tier individuals. A Crystal Flower Spirit is an opportunity to cultivate a Second Tier Mystic Technique; such an opportunity presented of course warranted a fight.

The maid, after listening to Lynch’s bidding price kneeling at his feet, immediately got up and went out, and soon, a voice came from outside.

“Box Number Three, two million!”
