There was complete silence in St. Reese Cathedral.
The attendant at the door was curious about the silence of the auction and looked in the direction of the auction stage.
The auctioneer was also stunned by the sudden increase of 500 crystal coins.
“Sir, is there a problem?”
Andrew timely reminded him.
“Oh, oh, no problem, sir.”
The auctioneer finally reacted and knocked on the board with the hammer in his hand.
Bang! Bang!
“Gentlemen, is anyone going to bid higher? This gentleman bid 3000 crystal coins… since no one is bidding higher… 3000 crystal coins going once.”
As the auctioneer’s hammer fell.
Bill was anxious.
“Father, that kid is the trash that was going against me in school which I told you about.”
Bill hurriedly said to the middle-aged man beside him.
“I must get the Dragon Blood. Without the Dragon Blood, how can I improve the Black-striped Spider’s physique!”
“Shut up!”
Bill’s father, who was always a gentle figure in Bill’s mind, had opened his mouth and scolded him.
He was startled, and his entire body froze on the spot as if he had been struck by lightning.
The guests present were also attracted by this angry shout.
“I’m sorry, gentlemen.” Bill’s father stood up, took off his hat, and bowed in the direction of Andrew, or more accurately, in the direction of Haus.
“Mr. Andrew, I apologize for my child’s unreasonable behavior from before. I won’t fight with you for the Dragon Blood. We’ll leave now. I’m really sorry to disturb you and Mr. Haus.”
After saying that, he pulled Bill, who was still in a daze, out of the auction venue.
Many of the guests present were even more confused.
‘What was going on?’
Andrew could not help but laugh.
Bill’s father had some ability.
On the other side.
Bill was dragged out of the auction venue in a sorry state by his father.
“Father, why are we leaving!”
Bill shouted hysterically.
Bill Gatsby glared at his son.
“You scoundrel, you almost killed our family!”
“Don’t you know who’s sitting next to that kid? That’s Haus Lawson!”
“With Haus Lawson’s strength, he can wipe us out of Alice City!”
Bill was stunned by his father’s angry shout.
It took him a while to react and retort.
“But… that kid is a scoundrel who lives in the slums. How could he have anything to do with Mr. Haus?”
“You must be blind!” Gatsby said in disappointment. “If they didn’t know each other, would that damn Haus introduce that kid to others?”
Gatsby had been paying attention to Haus Lawson.
He had already determined that Andrew had hooked up with Haus, or at least his daughter Amy.
Bill was completely dumbfounded.
He suddenly remembered that when he was at school, goddess Amy seemed to have looked for Andrew.
After that little episode just now.
The auction continued.
“10 kilograms of Dragon Blood at 3000 crystal coins, going twice… going thrice… sold!”
“Congratulations, Mr. Andrew, for winning the Dragon Blood at 3000 crystal coins!”
As the auctioneer’s hammer fell.
The Dragon Blood was finally won by Andrew.
“Thank you.” Andrew smiled at the people who were clapping around him.
Buying the Dragon Blood at 3000 crystal coins was still within his acceptable range.
Although the price was a little different from what he had imagined.
Dragon Blood was still very rare.
As the saying went, the rarer something was, the more valuable it was.
If the supply of an item kept going down, the price would definitely exceed its own value.
“Let’s begin the auction for the next item… I think that this item will be extremely useful to any Beast Tamer. Therefore, the price for this item is set at 10,000 crystal coins!”
The auctioneer’s words raised the spirits of the guests present.
The starting bid was 10,000 crystal coins!
Andrew’s interest was piqued as well.
From the moment they entered the auction, the starting price had already exceeded 10,000 crystal coins.
Most of the items were within 5000 crystal coins.
“This item can raise one’s spiritual power. It’s a must-have item to raise one’s strength.”
The auctioneer continued to keep everyone in suspense.
The effects were also obvious.
The guests below the stage were in an uproar.
“An item that can raise one’s spiritual power. It will be worth it to participate in this auction!”
“It’s been a long time since there’s been an auction item that can raise one’s spiritual power. My spiritual power has been suspended at a two-star Beast Tamer level. If it really works, I’ll get it even if I have to go bankrupt!”
“An item that can raise one’s spiritual power? What is it? Herbs? Or Beasts? What can 10,000 crystal coins buy to raise one’s spiritual power?”
Several people were whispering among themselves.
“Looks like items that can raise one’s spiritual power are very popular,” Andrew thought to himself as he looked at the guests around him.
He suddenly thought of the few herbs in his Beast Space.
‘Could the Blue-spirit grass that could raise one’s spiritual power also reach the starting point of 10,000 crystal coins?’
Just as Andrew was in deep thought, the auctioneer continued to speak.
“This is a two-star spirit herb, Wind Essence Fruit. It can raise one’s spiritual power to a certain level without any side effects. It has a miraculous effect on people who have been stuck at the strength of a two-star Beast Tamer…”
The auctioneer on the stage started to boast.
Andrew was even more surprised.
A two-star spirit herb, Wind Essence Fruit, could actually be sold for 10,000 crystal coins.
How much could the three-star Blue-spirit grass in his hands be sold for?
“Little friend, are you interested in this Wind Essence Fruit?” Haus asked curiously when he saw the change in Andrew’s expression.
Andrew was stunned for a moment, then he reacted and shook his head.
Haus immediately said with a hint of temptation in his voice.
“If you are willing to join the Wolf Wind Expedition Team, I might be able to give you a spirit fruit like this.”
Hearing this, Andrew suddenly felt a little funny.
If it was something else, he might have considered it.
But he really did not need this fruit to raise his spiritual power.
Andrew politely refused.
“Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Haus.”
Hearing this, Haus did not say much, and the expression in his eyes was filled with regret.
“Well, it seems that you have your plans.”
‘I can’t believe something worth tens of thousands of crystal coins couldn’t change this young man’s mind.’
‘It seems that this young man has his principles.’
Not only did Haus not resent Andrew for rejecting him.
He even thought highly of him because of his principles.
The fruit which could raise one’s spiritual power was sold for 19,200 crystal coins.
Next, the auction went on as usual.
Then Andrew bought the skull of the Black-bone Winged Dragon in the same way.
Compared to Dragon Blood, fewer people were fighting for the skull of the Black-bone Winged Dragon.
Plus, Haus was beside Andrew.
The price of the Black-bone Winged Dragon was 3000. Andrew bought the skull for 4000.
Including the Dragon Blood which cost 3000 crystal coins.
Andrew spent 7000 crystal coins on this auction.
Relatively speaking, it was a good deal.
According to the level of competition for the other items, without Haus’s support, these two items might have cost tens of thousands of crystal coins to get.
Soon, the auction ended.
When the auction ended, Andrew exchanged a few words with Haus and Amy, then said goodbye to each other.
The condition for the second atavism of the Iron-armoured black lizard had been met.
He still had to hurry up and perform the atavism on the Iron-armoured black lizard!
“System, perform the second atavism on the Iron-armoured black lizard!”
When he reached home, Andrew couldn’t wait to call the system..
