Magic Resistance Armor

The price of the blood essence finally stopped at 7,500 gold moores. Although it was precious, there was a limit to it. After all, it wasn't a particularly powerful treasure.

Locke was already very satisfied with 7,500 gold moores. Back in the desert, Shabille had sold it for 1,000 gold moores per 10 grams.

Locke had made a killing with a 7.5-fold increase in value.

Of course, part of the reason was that this was an auction. The nobles weren't short of money.

If he were to sell it in a shop or on the black market, the price would probably be cut down to 6,000 gold moores.

Locke was very satisfied with the result and felt that he could participate in the next auction. He missed out on a decent armour earlier because he was worried that he wouldn't have enough money.

"Waterdrop's Heart! It's a treasure that can assist water-type casters. It's provided by a freshwater major monster, spiky goldfish. "The host on stage introduced the next auction item.

"Berserk potion! It can temporarily increase the combat power of knights below the high-rank by a third. "

"Magic-Resistant Hood! It's made by Master Buffett. It can withstand three mid-rank spells or one high-rank spell. "

...

After the blood essence, there were a few other treasures that could be used by knights and casters. The competition for these items wasn't any less intense than Locke's blood essence.

During this time, Billie also raised her hand to bid for a treasure, the Waterdrop's Heart. Locke guessed that she was going to buy it for Daenie. Perhaps because they were all female, the casters in the team were very close to each other.

Locke looked at the skyrocketing price of the magic-resistant hood on the stage and finally chose to give it up. The final price of 12000 gold moores was way beyond his expectations. It wasn't worth it.

The reason why he was interested in this magic equipment was because he wanted to find a treasure to replace his moon bracelet.

During the war in Shalor, Angelina had given him a semi-circular piece of magic equipment called the Moon Bracelet in order to protect him. It was a powerful piece of equipment that could resist high-rank spells once. It was originally given to his daughter by the Faustian king for protection.

Perhaps the king didn't expect that the moon bracelet would end up in Locke's hands. It could form a shield that could withstand high-rank spells. It was considered a national treasure even in Faustian's treasury.

This magic-resistant hood was comparable to the moon bracelet. If he could get his hands on it, his defensive capabilities would definitely be greatly enhanced.

Unfortunately, there were many who thought the same as him. These nobles, who had accumulated a lot of wealth over the years, lacked everything but money. Moreover, they cherished their lives more than he did.

In terms of value, the magic-resistant hood couldn't compare to the moon bracelet, be it in terms of convenience or beauty.

Many of his missions over the past two years were against powerful major monsters. His sturdy armour reduced the physical damage he suffered and the moon bracelet helped him block countless spells. These were the main reasons why he was able to complete so many missions.

It was a pity that the bracelet was now riddled with holes. Although he hadn't faced a high-rank spell directly, he had withstood mid-rank and low-rank spells before. Generally speaking, major monsters didn't have strong magical abilities. They mainly relied on their agility and strong bodies to win. Even though they weren't strong, their innate abilities meant that they could cast spells quickly and frequently.

Locke's moon bracelet was on the verge of breaking.

"I can lend you some money first." Billie, who was sitting next to Locke, knew what he was worried about, but she didn't mind. She would be happy if Locke really owed her a favour.

"No need." Locke shook his head. Unlike him, who often went out on missions and earned a lot of money from treasures like blood essence, Billie's source of income came from her family.

She wasn't the only heir of her family. Even a noblewoman like her would have to fork out more than five thousand gold moores to support Locke.

Twelve thousand gold moores was probably the most valuable piece of magic equipment Locke had ever seen.

After the magic-resistant hood, the intensity of the auction finally slowed down. The price of each item fluctuated between two to four thousand gold moores, with only a few items exceeding six thousand gold moores.

This was to lighten the atmosphere. Everyone knew that the real highlight was yet to come.

"Cliff-Edge grass! Found on the cliff of Mount Alba. The starting bid is five thousand gold moores! Once again, the auctioneer wishes to obtain a treasure with the same effect. As for the specific details, we can talk about it after the auction ends! "After the master of ceremonies finished speaking in one breath, everyone in the hall exclaimed in surprise.

It was obvious from the emcee's words that the auctioneer probably had more cliff-edge grass on hand. Some of the smarter ones were already planning to contact him privately.

"Five thousand two hundred gold moores!"

"Five thousand five hundred gold moores!"

"Five thousand six hundred gold moores!"

...

"Six thousand two hundred gold moores!"

"Sold!" the emcee shouted excitedly.

Cliff-Edge grass had similar effects to Locke's blood essence, which was why the nobles were hoping to obtain more in private. However, the effects of cliff-edge grass were stronger and the user would suffer a lot. Moreover, its effects were weaker than blood essence, so it was sold for a slightly lower price.

"That lucky guy must've found a clump of cliff-edge grass!" Many people were talking about it, envious of the auctioneer.

Locke had been to Mount Alba once during his previous mission. The mountain range was tall and the fact that the auctioneer managed to find cliff-edge grass on the cliff made him wonder how lucky some people were.

Locke touched the spatial ring on his finger and decided to exchange it with the auctioneer after the auction. Blood essence was more effective and had fewer side effects, so the auctioneer wouldn't reject it.

The rest of the auction was mostly filled with items that the nobles fancied, such as earrings, calligraphy, antiques and gems. Locke felt like dozing off.

Billie, on the other hand, raised her hand a few times and spent three thousand gold moores on a pair of red earrings and a pearl bracelet.

As the auction was nearing its end, Locke finally got his hands on something he wanted.

"Froststeel Armour! It's made by a famous master using froststeel found five hundred metres beneath the ice in the north. It's made from some rare metals and has been enchanted with a wind element spell that reduces the wearer's weight by a quarter! "

"The starting price is three thousand gold moores!" Although the emcee's introduction was very detailed, it didn't seem like the audience was interested.

Locke straightened up and was the first to raise his hand. "Three thousand one hundred gold moores."
