Celestial Era: The Rise of the Full-Time Enhancer

"The next item is called the Shadow Urn. Many of you are not familiar with such an item. However, I can tell you now that this is a Pseudo-Legendary Item… something that rarely appears in the public…"

Old Man Cairo, the host of the event, started to introduce the item to the crowd.

As expected, as soon as they heard that the item on the stage is a Pseudo-Legendary, everyone had a fervent gaze as they wanted to own it!

Even if they haven't heard about its ability yet, they know that it's something that they should still purchase no matter what.

There is no useless Pseudo-Legendary Item, only useless users!

"This Shadow Urn can collect the shadows of the corpses that you've killed. They can be savage beasts, magic beasts, humans, or even barbarians, it doesn't matter. Once the shadow is collected, this urn can summon it for a price and transform that shadow to create a Shadow Creature that you can command!"

As soon as he finished speaking everyone looked at the item with a desire to own it.

"This is found inside a Dungeon filled with Crux Crawlers and has been appraised tens of times to confirm its authenticity. It has an uncommon ceremony to bind the item to you but other than that, this item is perfect if you want to build a small squad for your own safety… Why? This Shadow Urn can create a maximum of sixteen Shadow Creatures! The price starts at 500,000 gold coins!

As soon as Old Man Cairo revealed the starting price of the urn, it eliminated 90% of the customers already.

"510,000!"

"550,000!"

"600,000!"

The bidding started to slowly increase until there were only three bidders fighting over it.

It was Madam Fey from the Whisper Pavilion, Young Master Alain Shi from the Shi Family, and another person from the second VIP room.

As for the Count, he already purchased the Illusion Blade and it seems that he has no plans to take this item as well. The other possible reason is that the Count is probably saving money for the last item.

Nevertheless, the battle got heated as the amount reached 920,000 already.

"Whoa~ I didn't know that the Whisper Pavilion can earn so much…"

"Not really… I heard rumors that they are also information sellers. They must've earned a lot gathering intelligence and selling them to others."

"That might be true… But how could Madam Fey spend so much money for this Urn? Isn't it useless to her? Even if the Urn is an ownerless Pseudo-Legendary Item, it requires the strength of an Adept Mage to fully show its might."

"Hmph… Perhaps, they just wanted to spend their money. I heard that Summer has been earning a lot after she appeared last month."

"Summer?! The most beautiful courtesan? I heard about her…"

The crowd started chatting as they realized that Madam Fey doesn't seem to have plans of giving up. More than that, everyone finally realized just how much money that Pavilion could squander at this moment!

Vincent heard all of this as it helped him a lot to realize what was going on outside.

As for Alain Shi, no one seems to have doubts that he has plenty of money he could use to purchase the pseudo-legendary item.

However, the man in the second VIP room could no longer waste his time and bid the highest price he could go.

"4 million."

This bid stunned everyone. Madam Fey and Alain also froze.

They are only willing to bid for a maximum of 2 million gold coins. That is already their limit for a Pseudo-Legendary Item.

They couldn't help but look at the VIP room where the voice came from. It was definitely from a young adult and his tone of voice makes him really mysterious.

Which family or organization can do something like this? There must be a clue so they made sure to pay attention to the VIP room from now on. They might find a clue once they recognize the voice.

"4 million, Going once! Going twice! Sold!"

Clak! Clak! Clak!

Old Man Cairo struck the gavel with his mallet to announce the end of the bidding for the Shadow Urn.

Then, the attendants quickly worked as they removed the Shadow Urn from the stage. After a while, they finally brought the item that Vincent failed to appraise.

It is the same rusty sword that he thought was made of black wood.

Anyway, he's also curious about the origin and rank of this item so he couldn't wait for the introduction to happen.

"This is called the Obsidian Doomblade. This is a special weapon made of Adamantite so you can already tell its quality. However, we can not tell whether this is a Pseudo-Legendary or can be called a Legendary as well at this point. This could even be made of special materials like from the Celestial Items…"

Cairo said as he looked at everyone who was confused about this point.

Although he can tell that the bidders still desire this final item, it confused the bidders as to how their best Appraisers were unable to identify its rank.

Nevertheless, what's important right now is to introduce to them how precious this item was!

"Obsidian Doomblade isn't any other black and rusty swords you can find elsewhere. It has the ability called Shadow Strike and Shadow Blade… The Shadow Strike allows you to move instantaneously behind your target in exchange for a few units of mana. As for the Shadow Blade… We have decided to keep it a secret and only the lucky winner should know of its effects."

Cairo mysteriously said which prompted everyone to start the bidding war! Soon, he announced the starting price of the item!

"Alright, the price will start at a million gold!"

Vincent smiled as he expected this amount to be the initial price for this unknown item. She just felt that that deserves the price for it.

"Hmm… I wonder how it was appraised." Vincent muttered to himself.

"Haha… You want to know my secrets?" Therese teased after hearing Vincent's concern.
