Chapter 493: Chapter 25: Elf

The auction continued.

Next, a dozen more items were auctioned, including Su Ya Water for advancing wizards, Evil Thought Flowers for stimulating spiritual power, and Life Fruits for enhancing life force, among others.

Among them was even a complete Wizard Level legacy named [Earth Guard], said to be part of the secret skill legacy [Earth Emblem].

This complete wizard legacy opened at 2 million Magic Stones and was eventually bid up to 6 million, with the buyer still being Box #3.

Yes, it was Lynch bidding high again.

Lynch was always immensely interested in any knowledge-related items, and with a complete wizard legacy, especially one in the Earth Element direction, he certainly could not miss it.

’Just in time to see if there’s a way to upgrade the Hellfire.’

Lynch had always felt that Earth Element Magic was highly formative and had previously created Clay Puppet Hellfire based on Earth Element Magic.

However, those were quite early works, with three-dimensional attributes only in the sixty to seventy range, making their overall strength comparable to a typical Great Knight.

Back then, they could be considered one of Lynch’s main fighting forces, but at the current level Lynch was dealing with, they didn’t even count as cannon fodder…

Therefore, if there’s a chance, it’s still necessary to upgrade its level.

Aside from Earth Guard, Lynch also purchased two materials; one was the rare Star Dust Treasure Diamond, a product formed purely from stardust falling from the sky, extremely rare and of high research value.

The other was a Dragon Scale Flower, a specialty growing in the vast Sunset Mountain Range, the habitat of the Dragon Clan, making resource gathering extremely difficult.

As time passed, the auction approached its end, and at this time, yet another product caught Lynch’s attention.

“Next up!”

Susan, who was hosting the auction, raised her voice: “Next, we have one of today’s grand finale items, something you absolutely cannot miss…”

Two green-skinned goblins pushed a small cart onto the podium, and on the cart stood an iron cage, covered by a black cloth through which a shadowy figure could be seen.

“What is it?”

“It seems like a person?”

“Stop keeping us in suspense, if it’s good stuff, hurry and bring it out, my Magic Stone bag is already itching with anticipation!”

Amidst the bustling impatience of the crowd, Susan swiftly yanked off the black cloth covering the cage, revealing its true appearance beneath, and it was indeed…

“A girl, it’s a girl… wait… wait… is that girl…”

“An elf! It’s an elf!”

Inside the cage was a young girl, around sixteen or seventeen years old, with skin as fair as freshly fallen snow, and hair a shade of green reminiscent of spring meadows.

Most notably, the girl’s ears were long, slender, and very lively.

Clearly,

This was an elf, the most rare and mysterious among the nine major races.

Lynch raised an eyebrow: “An elf?”

Baggen nodded, his expression steady: “Indeed, it seems to be a genuine elf, truly rare to come by, especially since the Eternal Forest closed and sightings of these lively creatures have become rare, one wonders where the market acquired this one.”

Elves in the Wizard World are not born through uterine pregnancy, as elves do not possess such organs, thus preventing artificial impregnation for breeding purposes.

How exactly they are born, Lynch wasn’t quite sure, as there was limited information on the subject. Ancient texts vaguely record that all elves originate from an Elf Mother Tree unique to the Elf Forest, and all elves are female.

Sparse, mysterious, incapable of artificial breeding, these three factors alone ensured the value of the creature couldn’t be low, and with both the internal Supreme Council and external Elf Clan forces prohibiting the sale of elves, their price was pushed to astronomical levels.

Susan, the host, stated: “A pure, living elf, starting bid at 10 million Magic Stones!”

As expected…

The starting bid was ten million Magic Stones, undoubtedly the most expensive item put up for bid at the assembly tonight.

Yet not a single wizard thought this was unworthy.

Do not mistakenly regard an elf as merely an object to fulfill desires, such thoughts belong only to fools with vulgar tastes or those of lesser minds. In the eyes of truly qualified wizards, they are undoubtedly high-end experimental subjects.

And their greatest experimental value lies in the ultimate pursuit of all wizards—

Life.

Elves belong to the Immortal Species and differ from typical Immortal Species, as every hair, skin, blood, and even every cell in their bodies is brimming with abundant life force, making them akin to walking vessels of life.

With such vigorous life force, they form a life force field centered around themselves, granting everything within the field a blessing of life force.

The stories detailing elves bringing fresh buds to withered branches with a touch, or rejuvenating near-dead animals with a stroke… these aren’t baseless fabrications.

Take Karina in the Linch Witch Domain as an example, for she is still alive today and even retains her youthful appearance.

She has merely a trace amount of elf bloodline, which shows the immense value of a single elf.

“11 million!” Get full chapters from NoveIꜰire.net

“12 million!”

“15 million, I’ll offer 15 million, don’t compete with me, I adore this elf too much!”

In just a brief moment, the price of this elf had soared to 15 million.

However, after reaching this figure, it did not continue to climb, as there were already few wizards capable of offering tens of millions in assets, even fewer at the 15 million level.

If no one on the second floor boxes placed a bid, then this elf’s price had likely reached its peak for the day.

But at that moment.

Lynch instructed the Enchanting Demon Maid beside him: “Go bid for me, 20 million.”

The allure in the Enchanting Demon Maid’s eyes nearly ignited; this was the third time Lynch had made a multi-million Magic Stone bid that night, a fearsome level of wealth beyond her comprehension.

“Yes.” The Enchanting Demon Maid quickly went out.

Baggen shot a somewhat curious glance at Lynch: “Why, does Lord Saphiro have a strong interest in elves?”

Although elves can enhance life force, the enhancement is limited, vital for ordinary humans or Low-level Wizards, but not significantly meaningful at their level.

Lynch nodded, offering little explanation: “Just happened to have a study involving elves.”

The 20 million bid directly concluded the competition, and there were no other wizards in the second-floor boxes competing with Lynch. Susan swiftly announced the result.

Soon after, the elf girl was brought to Lynch’s box…
