Chapter 41: 41
Draco was surprised when he saw the egg just sitting there . He was sorely tempted to see what was inside it, but couldn't because it would strain his eyes too much .
Once again, he would wait for it to be revealed before working his magic on it . Retracting his gaze, he turned to the item on display right now . It was a token that had the symbol of a strange tower carved on it .
「Babylon Tower Token – Unique Item
Rank: Legendary
Effect: Activates the Tower of Babylon quest」
「Tower of Babylon – Unique Quest
Description: The Tower of Babylon has returned to the world . Rise through all 99 floors of unique challenges to acquire Divinity!
Rewards: Treasure Chest (based on final completion), Gold (based on final completion)」
Draco was curious about this item . He had never heard of such a quest in his past life . The description also stated that divinity could be acquired should one reach the top, but the rewards only listed Treasure Chest, meaning that upon reaching and completing floor 99, one could earn a Divine Treasure Chest! Wow!
Look at the hullabaloo Draco had to go through in order to get just one Divine Item . Now, there was a possibility for another . How could his heart not pump like a young maiden in her bridal chamber?
However, his face was locked in a frown . This was simply because even if a Divine Treasure Chest was achievable, it would require more than herculean effort to acquire it! Since entry into the first floor of the Tower of Babylon required a Legendary token, one could only imagine how hellish it would be to reach the top .
Still, it one one of the few items up for sale that Draco felt was worth his money!
"Hihi, our first Legendary item is here! The minimum bid is 15,000 platinum! Increments must be of a 100 platinum at least! Auctionnnnnn… start!!" Shizura called out with extreme excitement .
Her words filled the audience with a certain fervor as bids began in earnest .
"16,000 platinum!"
"17,000 platinum!"
"20,000 platinum!"
Lord, the bids kept increasing like they were on steroids . In the auction of Epic items, gold was used, but in the auction of Legendary items, platinum was used . This showed the true difference between the two tiers of items and how the natives of Boundless regarded them .
Draco was silent for now, waiting for the bidding to reach it's climax .
"25,000 platinum!"
"27,000 platinum!"
"28,000 platinum!"
"29,000 platinum!"
"30,000 platinum!"
After hitting 30,000 platinum, the bids began decreasing rapidly, till it hovered around 32,500 platinum . It was then that Draco decided to metaphorically lower his zipper so these fellows could peek at what a real donger should look like!
"40,000 platinum . "
When that bid was dropped, the whole audience became silent . Their hearts began thumping as they turned to view the room Draco and Eva were located . The display was one-way, so the audience couldn't see in, but Draco could see out . Their hearts were thumping not because of the price alone, but what being in that VIP room represented .
A powerhouse among the hidden powers that no one could afford to offend! Aiyah, did we really try to compete with such a person?
But wait, this fellow up there, why need to flex so hard? If you had called out the minimum bid from the start, no one would have dared to compete, even the Church would take the loss with a stoic heart . You waited until now just to show us the weight of your wallet? Did you really have to rub in our differing circumstances?
While majority of the bidders felt antagonized, they kept their thoughts to themselves… or at least, that was what they thought .
"40,000 platinum once! Twice! Sold!" Shizura cried out while breaking into a happy dance . Wow, this auction was going so well!
Draco was deducted the price instantly and his item was delivered to him . Holding the token in his hands, he observed it curiously before pocketing it . He had peeked into its core framework and found that it was sort of like a modern car key . When he got close to the Tower of Babylon, the Tower would show itself . When he pressed the token against the doors of the Tower, he would be allowed entry .
The next few Legendary items were brought out and sold for outrageous prices . Even Draco couldn't sit still with all the money that was being moved about . Fuck, the Church of Light was really raking it in!
One day, the auction room at the topmost level of his shop would be this popular . Draco fantasized about that day in the future .
When the crown was brought out, Draco inspected it properly this time .
「King's Coronation – Ornamental Item

Active 1 – King's Rage: Summon the Royal Guard to punish all usurpers . Royal guard have a Rank cap of 6 and are summoner Rank + 4 . Cooldown: 18 hours . 」
This item was perfect for NPC commanders, or Guild Leader players since it boosted ally strengths so much without a time limit . It would be an excellent tool for war or any large scale conflict . Draco however, didn't need such a thing with his skills and Armageddon in the bag .
The item was sold for 160,000 platinum to a handsome looking fellow who wore mage robes . Everyone noted his face carefully, making sure to add him to the list of people not to fuck with .
Next was the arrow .
「Phoenix Cry – Arrow
Rank: Legendary
Effects:
Passive 1 – Sonic Wave: A high-pitched sound attack is launched the moment the arrow is shot . Only damages enemy targets within the range of 1km .
Passive 2 – Return: Arrow will always return to the quiver of the user after being shot, no matter where it is sent .
Active 1 – Vermilion Fire: Activate this skill to add a disintegration by immolation effect to the arrowhead . Cooldown: 1 minute . 」
Draco's heart stilled a little when seeing the effects of the Legendary item . It seemed like this particular arrow fell into the same category as his Dragon Soul . Items that were classified as Legendary but should probably have divine origins .
Draco wasn't sure if an arrow existed that was better than this one, but he knew he would be purchasing this arrow for sure .
"Whoa, this one looks dangerous~ I hope the person who buys it is a kind person! If you use it for evil, I'll beat you up!" Steam seemed to pop from Shizura's nostrils as she shook her fist, leaving the audience chuckling good-naturedly .
"The minimum bid is 45,000 platinum! Increments must be at least, 2,000 platinum! Auctionnnnn… Start!"
"47,000 platinum . "
Immediately, the fervor died down as everyone's words got caught in their throat . When they turned to view that VIP room, they hesitated . The arrow was good, but very few in the crowd were bowmen . Even the hidden powers had very few archers in their ranks .
To most in the auction, the arrow would be a good present to butter up a hidden power or a good tool to use in the right situation . Its value didn't surpass offending a power the Church of Light deemed as worthy of care however .
Let's not forget, the Divine Auction was held monthly, not yearly or infrequently . It meant that not every hidden power would attend every auction . If something they liked popped up while they were unavailable, they had a hundred and one ways to claim it for themselves .
As such, no hidden power that would've contested Draco, even with his backing, was present this time .
How convenient .
"Ehhh?? No one is bidding? Come on guys, don't let the arrow get taken away so easily~" Shizura prodded the audience with a pout, but no one had the time to respond to her . Instead, they were giving her strange looks which made her confused . Did she do something wrong?
"Announce the sale . " One of the other staff present told Shizura quickly with a panicked look on his face .
Even if she was naive and playful, Shizura wasn't stupid . She could easily tell that she had blundered somewhere, but what wrong she had done, she didn't know . This made her feel sad, but she still did her job .
"47,000 platinum going once! Going twice! Sold!"
Draco received the arrow for a price that would make the seller feel gloomy deep down . Such a unique legendary item should've sold for hundred of thousands of platinum, but came down to just barely above the minimum price! Wherever that fellow was, he must be spitting blood .
