End of the Magic Era Chapter 1275

Chapter 1275: 1275

Chapter 1275: End of the Auction

The output of the large mine that Lin Yun possessed in the Abyss was comparable to the output of Noscent in an entire year.

Even if someone was capable of figuring out the technology behind that mana reactor, they could only watch helplessly. Deciphering the technology? What a joke. When dismantled, the mana reactor’s structure would be completely destroyed.

Lin Yun knew it, but the others didn’t. The mana reactor looked like a naked beauty swaying before their eyes, it was impossible for them to not have indecent thoughts.

Most of the people wanted to buy it in order to research it, but there were still a few people who wanted it in order to use it.

Just like the red-eyed, excited Wilder…

“Great Elder, how many purple coins do we have left? That thing will definitely sell at a high price. It’s fortunate that the Starry Sky Auction didn’t introduce it with the final items or we wouldn’t have had enough purple golds to bid on that mana reactor.

“We must get it, no matter the price. That thing is a special magic tool that can be installed anywhere on a puppet.

“That means that this mana reactor can be affixed to my body. With that mana reactor and my steel body, I could equip a few powerful weapons and double my strength!”

Wilder’s eyes were glittering with red lights and half of his body had already transformed into steel. His left hand rolled up his right arm’s sleeve, exposing a puppet-like steel body. Following his movements, the steel started changing shape and rapidly formed an armlet in which he could place the mana reactor once he had a hold of it.

Someone raised the price to 4,000,000 the moment bidding started in order to make others give up, but someone else raised the price to 4,300,000 purple golds in less than a second.

The price of the mana reactor rose up to 5,000,000 within five seconds.

Lin Yun calmly watched, but his attention was on Wilder’s body. He understood what the latter wanted when he saw his half-transformed body.

That mana reactor was truly suited to Wilder’s body. If the mana reactor was affixed to his steel body, he could become as much three times stronger if it was a good match.

This meant that he was determined to get that mana reactor.

From all the bids, Lin Yun determined that close to three hundred people were bidding.

“10,000,000.”

Lin Yun increased the price to 10,000,000 purple golds in an instant. Ten million was enough to make a part of the bidders give up, but there were still close to two hundred people who were expecting a higher price.

Wilder couldn’t sit still after Lin Yun’s bid and fiercely glared at him with red eyes. He then looked at the other bidders with unfriendly eyes.

‘h.e.l.l, do these idiots not understand that this mana reactor’s creator auctioned it because he was absolutely certain that the technology behind it couldn’t be decrypted. That Artisan is selling a mana reactor, not a way to research his technology.

‘Even so, these idiots are actually hoping to be lucky. Even that d.a.m.ned Mafa Merlin is trying to buy it to research it. That guy is an idiot… He is an Artisan, how could he not know that Artisans are securing their techniques? There would be nothing to study even if it was dismantled.

‘That d.a.m.ned guy will definitely fight me till the end. And with the other idiots, the mana reactor’s price will definitely end up being extremely high…’

Wilder gritted his teeth as he looked around and glared at others. He knew that only a few people were planning on using it, and they would compete until the end.

After letting out a long sigh, Wilder gritted his teeth and shouted his bid.

“30,000,000!”

30,000,000 purple golds was already too much for most people, only a dozen people were still bidding, but they would only increase the bid by 200,000 or 300,000 purple golds.

Lin Yun expressionlessly looked at the determined Wilder and sneered when he saw the latter’s murderous gaze.

“40,000,000.”

Wilder’s pitch-black right eye let out scarlet lights as he unhesitantly bid.

“50,000,000.”

Lin Yun appeared to be hesitating while Falleau looked worried. This scene made Wilder smile.

“Mafa Merlin, this is the Odin Kingdom. If you don’t have purple golds, f*ck off back to your remote Andlusa Kingdom and retire.”

Lin Yun stopped bidding and Faleau got closer to him, seemingly whispering something, to which Lin Yun kept shaking his head. A victorious smile could be seen on Wilder’s face when he saw that scene, he didn’t even pay attention to the three people still bidding over the mana reactor.

The mana reactor was far more important to Wilder than to anyone else here. His steel transformation could not only make use of the Rodney Family’s steel spells, it could also use some puppets’ abilities, such as their weapons.

Wilder hadn’t been making use of those so far because his spells were more efficient than the weapon systems.

After half a minute, the price had risen up to 55,800,000. The bid had been made by two families coming to an agreement and cooperating. As for Wilder, he straightforwardly bid 60,000,000, forcing all his compet.i.tors to give up.

Bidding 60,000,000 for a mana reactor wasn’t something a sane person would do.

The auctioneer started closing the bid, but Lin Yun stood up once the auctioneer said “60,000,000 twice!”

“89,500,000!”

Lin Yun raised his hand, looking as if he was betting everything he had while Faleau looked at Lin Yun with worry.

Wilder was startled, but he quickly smiled.

‘That idiot, does he think that increasing the price by 30,000,000 at once would scare me? That’s probably all his funds, it must be, judged from the way Faleau is looking at him.’

“Mafa Merlin, are you lacking purple golds? So miserly that you made such an ugly bid…

“90,000,000!”

Lin Yun slowly sat down as Wilder bid once again, and closed his eyes as he was perfectly satisfied.

A mana reactor he built during practice actually sold for 90,000,000 purple golds, which was 30 times higher than its auction price. It was definitely the most outrageous item in the auction.

Lin Yun stopped bidding after tricking Wilder and the latter naturally ended up winning the bid.

The worried Faleau also sighed in relief, but he couldn’t help looking at Wilder with sympathy.

‘What a pitiful guy, it’s merely Sir Merlin’s prototype yet he bought it for 90,000,000 purple golds. Is that idiot planning on using it?

‘There will be a good show to watch if that idiot ends up using the mana reactor built by Sir Merlin to deal with Sir Merlin in the future, he would be inevitably doomed.

‘He’ll definitely be blown up by the mana reactor…’

Faleau sat behind Lin Yun and lowered his head as he tried his best to remain silent, afraid that he wouldn’t be able to hold back his laughter.

Using an alchemist’s creation to deal with its creator wasn’t unseen, such an event happened in the past.

An Artisan died from his own creation, which created a reform in the field of alchemy. It happened even though alchemists would have usually been discredited if a backdoor was found in one of their creations.

Now, all alchemists would add a special command in their creations or puppets which would completely stop them from being used against their creator.

If it hurt their creator, the magic tool or puppet would be completely taken over by their creator, this was a well-known fact.

A Master Alchemist was recently attacked, and it just happened that the magic tool used had been one of his creations. As for what happened next, there was no need to mention it…

The auction continued, but Lin Yun didn’t bid much. The last lots were mostly True Spirit Magic Tools and such things. The Gilded Rose didn’t need that kind of finished product, and all the magic tools Lin Yun used were tailor-made.

He only bid on some of the best materials or strange things, but would give up if the price was too high.

The auction soon ended and everyone left one after another. Wilder was in high-spirits as he directly bound the mana reactor to his right arm. When paired with his steel body, his might doubled.

Wilder didn’t even hide his half transformed steel body when he left the auction hall and even showed off his mana reactor, which amazed a lot of people. Others had only planned to research it, combine it to large-scale equipment, or affix it to a puppet.

No one thought of using it to directly increase their own strength, like Wilder did.

Although he spent 90,000,000 purple golds, no one felt that he had wasted his money.

Not to mention the amazed gazes, some people who had good relations.h.i.+ps with the Rodney Family even went over to praise Wilder.

“Patriarch Wilder truly has foresight, this mana reactor should have boosted your strength quite a bit, that’s something priceless.

“How could we compare, I only bid in order to research it, I hadn’t expected Sir Wilder to see so far ahead of us, truly amazing…”

Many people on good terms or attached to the Rodney Family came to flatter Wilder, making him unable to drop his smile.

While Wilder was surrounded by people flattering him, Lin Yun was slowly coming out of the auction hall.

He didn’t even have time to take a second step before Zeith caught up to him.

“Sir Mafa, please wait a moment.”

“Oh, Sir Zeith, is there something you need?”

Zeith had an embarra.s.sed expression and hesitated for a moment, before slowly saying, “Sir Mafa, let me first congratulate you for your mana reactor selling for 90,000,000.

“I’ve always been thinking about that kind of structure, and it could be said that I have a theory regarding the external energy supply system, but it would have taken a few hundred years to get results.

“Yet, Sir Mafa unexpectedly built a prototype so fast, this is really amazing…

“This… Logically speaking I shouldn’t be asking this question, you already gave a copy of the truth runes’ mysteries to our Starry Sky College after all, but I’m really too curious. I’ve already started pondering after seeing that mana reactor, but I couldn’t find a suitable method.

“This…”

Zeith was embarra.s.sed and couldn’t ask directly. This was already considered inquiring about the secrets of others’ research, a taboo among alchemists.

It would be his own abilities if he emulated the research himself and deciphered the techniques behind it, but asking was a bit shameless…

“Sir Mafa, please don’t misunderstand, I’m not asking about your techniques… Can I tell you my thoughts and you tell me if I’m on the right track?”

Lin Yun laughed before Zeith could finish his words.

“What’s the matter? That mana reactor is an experimental product I built during practice, it simply can’t be ma.s.s-produced.

“Strictly speaking, it can be considered a failed product because it uses Enchanted Molten Tin and Eternal Dark Gold, and in large amounts. The mana reactor can’t be built without these two materials.

“I used all of my Enchanted Molten Tin on that prototype and more than half of my Eternal Dark Gold’s stock…”

Zeith not only wasn’t disappointed when he heard that, he was instead pleasantly surprised.

“What a genius idea! Combining the stability of Eternal Dark Gold with the conductivity of Enchanted Molten Tin would decrease the previous manufacturing issues by more than half.

“Although the costs are high, this would be a huge achievement once the theory can be verified…”

As an Artisan, Zeith was also a research madman. He didn’t care whether it could be turned into profit or not, he only cared whether the theory could be proven or not, this was the most important part to him.

After chatting with Zeith for a bit, Lin Yun led Faleau back to the Gilded Rose. The Moonlight Gem and the Origin Chapter he had gotten had to be dealt with, this was his top priority.

A lot of information started leaking out after the auction, such as the fact that the Origin Chapter Lin Yun bought had been auctioned by the Rodney Family, while the mana reactor bought by the Rodney Family had been auctioned by the Gilded Rose.

Some people even said that the mana reactor was only a prototype built in order to prove a theory and that its creator was the owner of the Gilded Rose, Mafa Merlin.

While the information was rapidly spreading, Lin Yun had already returned to the Gilded Rose and entered his Demiplane.

Using alchemy equipment, the huge Moonlight Essence Crystal was slowly cut open. The most important part of the Moonlight Essence Crystal was Moonlight Gem in its center, which was taken out by Lin Yun.

After taking it out, Lin Yun instantly appeared in the sky of the Demiplane and mobilized the Demiplane’s power to slowly incorporate this Moonlight Gem.

As if the Demiplane’s power had reached an agreement with the Moonlight Gem, the Moonlight Gem rose to the sky on its own and spread its radiance, ultimately becoming a huge white moon hanging in the sky.

It just so happened that it was the Demiplane’s night cycle. The gentle moonlight gently sprinkled over the entire Demiplane, illuminating the dark Demiplane with a faint light.

At that moment, Lin Yun felt a sudden increase in the evolution speed of the Laws of Light and Darkness.

The Darkness Law, which was originally like idle fragments, greatly increased, and it wouldn’t be long before the Darkness Law would undergo an evolution.

Moon during the night, sun during the day, this was how a complete world should be.

Lin Yun smiled. Just as he had guessed, such a big Moonlight Gem could truly be used as a base to make a moon appear in the Demiplane.

With the pa.s.sage of time, the Demiplane’s moon would definitely evolve first. And it would evolve into a true moon, not like the sun, which had been replaced by a G.o.dfire Ember.

Once the moon evolved, the rest would follow the natural evolution of the Demiplane.

Lin Yun took out the Origin Chapter and that pure and unfathomable darkness power permeated its surface.

He then took out the Book of Death and the Book of Death started resonating with the Origin Chapter. There was no need for Lin Yun to control them as the Origin Chapter started fusing with the Book of Death on its own.

The Origin Chapter couldn’t display its power without the Book of Death. As for the Book of Death, it couldn’t use darkness power without the Origin Chapter.

Following the fusion, the Book of Death automatically opened. In addition to the Sage Chapter, the Truth Chapter, the Element Chapter, and the All-Encompa.s.sing Chapter, a new chapter could be seen, the Origin Chapter.

The Origin Chapter was pure darkness. It seemed to contain endless possibilities, but it was only darkness, darkness at its purest level. It was as if there was no darkness power, everything was just nothingness, complete nothingness where nothing existed.

Lin Yun sensed the Origin Chapter’s power and roused the Book of Death. In an instant, everything in the surroundings was covered in darkness, nothing could be seen, nothing could be heard, nothing could be sensed, there was only pure darkness.

His heartbeats became thunder, blood flowing within his veins was akin to a flood, and each breath was like an apocalyptic storm.
