For people like Medel, from the moment they are born, it's destined that they won't encounter much danger, let alone fight for their lives.

For them, it's more about issues of rights, status, and resource allocation. They don't need to fight personally.

So things like the Ancient Giant's Horn, which can directly enhance one's strength, are perfect for both attack and defense, with decent practicality.

The price quickly reached 100,000 Magic Stones, with many people eagerly bidding.

Herag didn't participate in the auction because he doesn't need such things.

When he killed Medel before, he encountered a sort of Knight's silhouette. Although this Knight's silhouette wasn't as strong as the Ancient Giant's, Herag could see it wasn't very useful.

To Herag, those who can kill him wouldn't fear this silhouette; summoning it would be useless.

The price of the horn kept climbing, finally stopping at 150,000 Magic Stones, bought by a male Wizard in a robe.

Herag glanced over; he didn't know this person but guessed he might be from a Wizard Family.

After the horn was auctioned off, Rose continued to smile and said, "Congratulations to this gentleman for winning the Ancient Giant's Horn. The next item is a Substitute Death Item."

With this said, the venue became lively.

Everyone knows what a Substitute Death Item signifies; it's a chance to escape death, representing extremely high fault tolerance.

Substitute Death Items are extremely rare, usually only possessed by important figures of various forces.

For most people, these items aren't purchasable, as they are mainly held by major Wizard Organizations.

Herag obtained his Substitute Death Grassman by exchanging it in Serlandir's Secret Vault. When he entered the Secret Vault a second time, he wanted to exchange again, but there were none left.

These things aren't simply obtained with Contribution Points; it also depends on luck and whether the Secret Vault has stock.

So far, Herag has only seen Malcolm and Medel possess Substitute Death Items or similar Magic.

These two are a talented student of a Level 3 Wizard and a direct descendant of the Taylor Family, both with exceptional status and position.

For other Wizards, getting a Substitute Death Item is even more challenging.

After Rose finished speaking, a maid placed a small bottle on the table, containing a drop of blue liquid.

Rose introduced, "This is the Tear of the Dream Dragon. Once ingested, it grants the protection of the Dream Dragon, allowing it to shield you from a death crisis. The starting price is 100,000 Magic Stones, with each bid no less than 10,000 Magic Stones."

"150,000 Magic Stones!" As soon as Rose finished speaking, a male voice came from Box 9.

Herag looked over at the sound; it seemed familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before.

After thinking for a moment, he recalled it was the head of the Morri Family, who had a daughter named Amisha.

The Morri Family was in banking, very financially robust.

Herag felt a bit of a headache; the competition could be tricky.

Although he had over a million Magic Stones, it still seemed insufficient compared to the Morri Family.

"160,000 Magic Stones!"

But the wealthy are never in short supply, especially on occasions like today, where the attendees are either rich or noble, not lacking money.

Herag hadn't bid because a price wouldn't last more than a few seconds before being raised.

Soon, the price of the Tear of the Dream Dragon had reached 300,000 Magic Stones.

At present, only three people were still competing in the auction: the head of the Morri Family, Lady Wendy of the White Mountain Black Water Commerce Association, and Nix of the Wyatt Family.

The Wyatt Family is also a long-standing Wizard Family; although not as large as the Taylor Family, it is still a powerful Wizard Family.

Herag didn't expect to see someone from the Wyatt Family in Silver Moon City. He remembered this family usually operated in northern Serlandir, while Silver Moon City is located in the far south of Serlandir.

"350,000 Magic Stones," Shatar of the Morri Family continued to bid, financially assertive.

Nix, seated in the grand hall, pondered for a while and didn't continue bidding, as the price had likely exceeded his psychological threshold.

"380,000 Magic Stones," came Lady Wendy's voice from Box 5, also a wealthy personage.

With this price, Shatar also paused contemplatively, not rushing to bid again.

The crowd in the hall watched this scene, drawing a cold breath; these two were truly wealthy.

Rose smiled and watched, not hurried to speak, knowing it wasn't over yet.

"400,000 Magic Stones," Shatar finally said after a while.

With this price, it had entirely exceeded the actual value of the Tear of the Dream Dragon.

Even if it's a Substitute Death Item, it shouldn't cost this many Magic Stones.

It's simply because rarity makes it expensive; Substitute Death Items are just too rare.

In Box 5, Lady Wendy lay on the sofa, draped in a light veil, her white, tender feet curled up.

With a wry smile, she said, "Forget it, let him have it."

Many people looked towards Box 5. Seeing Lady Wendy remain silent, they could roughly anticipate the result.

"So, are there any further bids? The price for the Tear of the Dream Dragon is currently at 400,000 Magic Stones. If there are no more bids, then it's 400,000 Magic Stones for the first time!" Rose said with a smile.

"400,000 Magic Stones, second..."

"450,000 Magic Stones," came Herag's voice from Box 3, resulting in instant silence.

"Who is in Box 3?"

"I think it's Herag, the Alchemist behind the Nightingale Commerce Association."

"Does he have that much money?"

"You wouldn't know..."

...

After a brief silence, murmurs started in the hall.

Herag hadn't bid before, so nobody paid much attention to Box 3.

Now, with a sudden bid of 450,000, many uninformed people were curious.

In Box 3, Herag looked at the drop of blue tear; he was determined to get it.

To Herag now, Magic Stones are meant to be used, or they're just numbers.

Given that he has seen such a future, he must enhance his strength and arm himself as much as possible.

This kind of Substitute Death Item is precisely what he currently needs.

Needing it and being able to afford the price, there was no reason to miss it.

Shatar also paused for a moment. After learning it was Herag in Box 3, he recalled a bit; he had heard of this young man often in recent years.

After bringing Amisha home, Shatar didn't have much impression of Herag, and almost forgot about him by the next day.

To someone like him, a Junior Wizard like Herag wasn't worth remembering.
