Chapter 240: Chapter 15 Vortex Crystal

“So, Rivers, come with me. Mr. Manager, please continue to lead the way.”

Without further teasing the Elf, Anvis nodded at him, shifting his gaze back to the welcoming manager.

Muttering to himself about the incredible luck of this foreign Elf, the manager prepared to resume guiding the way.

“Um, Your Excellency Anvis, I also have a companion waiting outside. Shall she come in as well?”

At that moment, the Last Dragon Descendant hesitated, and then spoke up under the manager’s shocked gaze that the Elf would dare to be so bold.

“Oh?”

Anvis raised an eyebrow, intrigued.

“Sure, let your companion come in as well.”

With permission granted, the Elf quickly composed and sent out another message. Soon after, accompanied by another dart of the same style flying in, the cool and spicy figure of the cat-eared Thief girl appeared in the hallway.

“This is the one I’ve told you about before, respected Your Excellency Anvis!”

Before Tiramisu could speak, the Elf hurriedly explained, fearing that she might say something wrong if she revealed her true nature, and he wouldn’t be able to save her.

“Hmm… Meow—”

Scanning the crowd, the black cat-eared girl nodded obediently and let out a tempting meow as her response.

Indeed, she’s with White Light Esports.

After scanning Tiramisu’s panel, Anvis nodded silently to himself. As the former captain of a professional esports team, the Last Dragon Descendant indeed had connections with White Light in private.

He remembered her name—the professional Thief player of White Light Esports on the front line, consistently one of the top three Thieves in the player rankings, the [Midnight Queen], the dream goddess of numerous otakus.

And due to the unique nature of the players, White Light, one of the three major esports clubs, also had significant value to him at present.

Not to mention anything else, but if he could use it properly, he would immediately gain a powerful intelligence organization.

“The auction is about to start, come over as well.”

Contemplating how to utilize the power of these clubs, Anvis smiled at the cat-eared girl, then instructed the manager to continue leading the way.

However, on the way to the private box, the temporary team channel of the two players became lively.

Tiramisu: Wow, with such an awesome NPC, why didn’t you tell me sooner?

Last Dragon Descendant: Haven’t I told you about him before?

Tiramisu: But you never mentioned he’s this handsome!

Last Dragon Descendant: So what if he’s handsome? Can you even fawn over him?

Tiramisu: Can’t this old lady make a one-to-one copy offline and take it home to satisfy cravings?

Last Dragon Descendant: …

……

No further incidents occurred along the way. Through the VIP passage, everyone entered the elegantly decorated top-floor private box.

The box’s interior had excellent soundproofing. The furnishings were all antiques from the era of the Magic Empire, a classical style popular thousands of years ago, beautiful and full of the charm of history, exactly the old-fashioned Nobles’ preferred taste.

A refreshing faint fragrance wafted through the air, and the walls were adorned with paintings by renowned masters, each one valuable enough to be placed on the auction block.

The beautiful golden-haired maid brought over vibrant Elf Tea, peculiar Demonized Fruits and desserts, all of which greatly amazed the two Players.

“If you have any needs, please ring the Magic Bell at any time, and the Gloria Auction House will provide you with the most prestigious services,” she said.

Finally, with a bow to Anvis and Fiona, the manager slowly exited the room. The family guard then closed the door again and stood guard beside it.

Since Anvis arrived a bit early, there were still a few minutes until the start of the auction.

Fiona sat on a soft, long sofa, enthusiastically flipping through a beautifully printed catalogue of auction items and a brief introduction that was placed on the wooden tea table.

The little cat Kate floated by her side, looking with her and occasionally stretching out a paw to turn a page.

With Anvis’s consent, the two Players were thoroughly enjoying the various Demonized Fruits and desserts in the room.

Not only did they taste incredible, but they also directly increased attributes and Experience Value!

After calling the waiter to add some more snacks, Anvis held a cup of Elf Tea and stood in front of the one-way huge window, silently overlooking the entire auction house.

Due to the use of Special Demonized Materials, those inside the booth could clearly see everything happening in the auction, while those outside could not perceive anything inside the booth at all.

Today there was not a small crowd, but because the venue was too large, only about half of the seats in the auction hall were occupied. On the second-floor booth, three people had arrived, members of some family perhaps.

The item that Anvis was interested in at this auction was the very first item of the finale.

It was a beautiful cyan crystal emitting a faint glow, with an elusive and marvelous vortex-like structure solidified within it.

The auctioneers did not know its true use, but they realized that it could speed up the increase of spiritual power during meditation for Professionals and provide a very unique meditative experience to the meditator.

A guest of Mysterious identity purchased it, and afterward, the crystal disappeared without a trace.

In fact, it was not a Mysterious Object; it was an egg.

When it reappeared before people’s eyes, it was three years later in the center of a secret ritual Altar in the Outer City District outside the Royal Capital.

No one knew what it would ultimately hatch into, for it had originally existed as an ‘offering’.

A Mysterious masked individual used it as a sacrifice to call forth a chilling flame from the void into the mortal world, directly devastating a significant part of the Outer and Middle District of the Royal Capital, with countless casualties.

Even the Ninth Rank Limit stationed to guard the Empire Capital in anger could do nothing but contain the spreading aftermath of the flames, powerless against the fiery entity itself.

It wasn’t until the two forces were at an impasse that another Ninth Rank Limit went all out, erasing the Altar with Rule Power, and the indefinable chilling flame, no longer sustained, dwindled, bringing the disaster to an end.

This terrifying disaster came to be known in later historical records as ‘Dawn’s Calamity’.

It was during this event that the Resistance Army organization, Final Dawn, fully exposed their presence, claiming that the ruling class was incompetent and that Divine Power had punished them through their hands.

In Anvis’s view, an egg sophisticated enough to summon a void entity capable of confronting a Ninth Rank Limit was somewhat wasted on a non-discriminatory terrorist attack.

As a noble of the new era with a grand and righteous demeanor, the noble-hearted Anvis decided to save the innocent people of the Royal Capital.

Taking a sip of the fragrant Elf Tea in his hands, Anvis was touched by his own kindness.

.….….

Soon, the auction officially began.

Clap—

The lights in the dome suddenly went dark, then in the next instant, two bright beams of light suddenly slanted onto the center of the auction stage.

The auctioneer, dressed in an elegant tailcoat, appeared in the beams of light, and the auction officially started with a crisp strike of the wooden hammer.
