Sacrifice's Rise: I Became Invincible After Entering Godslayer Temple-Chapter 20 - The Auction Begins

Three days later.

John revived once again in the temple.

At this point, he was already at level 667.

In his battle with The Devil Azazel, he was no longer instantly killed by The Devil.

Instead, he could now withstand one or two attacks from The Devil and even fight back.

Although he still couldn't break Azazel's defense, such progress was a tremendous encouragement for him.

"I still can't cause any damage to Azazel. My attacks are always blocked by the Black Mist swirling around Azazel... What skill is that?"

John began to summarize his combat experience, something he excelled at.

In past games, John was able to derive a lot of information from each battle and analyze it, so he could handle similar enemies more effectively in the future.

In "Godslayer", because his opponent was too strong, and he couldn't withstand the opponent's first attack at all, there was no opportunity to analyze the battle.

Now that he could withstand a few attacks, it was time to learn from his experiences and constantly hone his combat skills.

What he didn't know was that while he was quietly isolated in the temple, the world outside was already bustling with excitement and noise. 𝓫𝓮𝒹𝓷ℴ𝓿ℯ𝓵.𝓬ℴ𝓶

Silverglow was nearly bursting with players.

Even outside the city, numerous guilds had set up their marching tents.

If players who didn't know the situation passed by, they might even think that many guilds were uniting to siege Silverglow.

In the city, White Feather, a Silver Knight, was also overwhelmed.

Although she was one of the owners of the legendary item, she didn't have time to think about the auction.

She and her fellow players were ordered by the Silver Bishop to maintain the security of Silverglow and prevent the new "players" from causing any trouble in the city.

In the past two days, White Feather has hardly logged out.

If she doesn't complete the bishop's quest, a significant amount of her "Church Contribution Points" would be deducted.

This would not bode well for the future development of her character.

However, fortunately, despite her busyness over the past two days, she has made considerable gains.

She has earned a substantial amount of " Church Contribution Points" from the Silver Church alone, which has balanced her feelings a lot.

She considers it as overtime pay.

On the other hand, inside the auction house.

Emma looked down from the window of a high-rise building and felt her scalp tingle at the sight of the crowded players in the city.

She never thought that auctioning a piece of parchment would cause such a commotion.

Isabella, the auctioneer in the room, saw her look of fear and comforted her,

"You don't have to worry about all this. As the owner of the legendary auction item, you don't need to speak when the auction starts. Leave everything to us, we're professionals."

Emma nodded awkwardly and then asked,

"Isabella... How much do you think this parchment can sell for?"

Isabella sighed, shook her head and replied honestly, "To be honest, even as a professional auctioneer, this is the first time I've seen such a spectacle. I estimate... this legendary item might fetch no less than 10 million dollars..."

"10 million?!" Emma was stunned.

Even after deducting the auction house's commission and the money she had to split with White Feather, she would still net nearly 4 million.

That's 4 million in cash!

Emma, who used to have to work as a delivery guy to supplement her tuition, was at a loss for words.

Isabella saw Emma's stunned expression and thought she found the price too low, so she quickly added, "This price is just my conservative estimate. No one knows the final price... Don't worry too much, our auction house's mission is to help the original owner sell at a high price. If possible, we'll push the price as high as we can."

Emma quickly shook her head and said, "That's not necessary, I'm just afraid that if we sell it for so much money... White Feather and I might attract the attention of criminals. After all, it's so much money..."

Seeing Emma looking so scared, Isabella laughed.

She reassured her, "Forget about it, throughout the auction process, we will not reveal any personal information about the original owner of the auction item... So far, the only people who know that you and White Feather own the parchment are Master Reo and me."

Hearing what Isabella said, Emma felt a little relieved.

As a simple freshman in college, she didn't want to attract the attention of any bad guys.

At that moment, Isabella glanced at the time and said, "It's time to go to the venue now, you can just go and sit in the VIP section."

Emma asked, "What about you?"

Isabella winked and replied, "Master said that I would be the host of this auction, so I can't accompany you. You just watch from the audience and see how I sell that parchment for a good price!"

...

Half an hour later, Emma arrived alone at the VIP section of the auction venue.

It must be said that the auction venue of the Dawn Breeze Auction House is quite magnificent and impressive.

The interior alone can accommodate thousands of people.

But the volume of this auction clearly exceeds a few thousand people.

Outside the auction venue, countless players were begging for a ticket to the auction.

However, those who could get tickets were all powerful figures, so why would they easily give up their tickets?

Soon, in the system market, the tickets for this auction were hyped up to 10,000 dollars each.

And that's the price for seats in the far corners.

There were no VIP tickets available at all.

Those who could get VIP tickets were either industry leaders, guild leaders, or extremely wealthy or powerful people in reality.

In short, the VIP section was for the rich or powerful.

Emma sat alone in a seat, looking out of place with the people around her.

This made Emma feel uncomfortable.

Fortunately, after waiting for ten minutes, the auction officially began.

All eyes were on the stage.

There, people would see the first legendary item in this game!

In people's eyes, there was nothing but desire and greed.

This was not just an item.

With so much attention, anyone who bought this item could instantly gain a lot of attention and become the topic of conversation among gamers and influencers.

Such a large amount of attention is valuable in itself.

In the eyes of some people, even if this legendary item is not very useful, it is worth spending a lot of money to buy!

On the stage, Isabella appeared stunningly in a pure white fitted dress.

Her exquisite appearance and curvaceous figure instantly amazed many players.

There were many live-streaming influencers in the audience, and at this moment, the bullet screens in their live broadcast rooms were all:

"Wow! The host of this auction is so beautiful!"

"Yes, she's a beauty!"

"Even if we don't buy anything at this auction, just enjoying the beautiful host is a win!"

...

On the stage, Isabella gave a slight smile and professionally addressed the guests with the opening remarks of the auction.

As the vibe gradually heated up, she announced to the crowd in her voice as pleasant as a lark:

"Now, I declare that the auction officially begins!"

"Please bring out the first auction item."

A hostess walked up with a box and placed it on the central podium.

Under Isabella's introduction, the hostess opened the box, revealing a gleaming dagger.

"This is our first auction item, a Rare dagger! Suitable for players above level 35!"

"Its attribute enhancements are very excellent, and it even has 'Backstab Enhancement', 'Poison Enhancement', and a series of features that enhance the characteristics of assassin players!"

"This item starts at 35 Gold Coins!"

Many in the audience who initially thought they would see the legendary item lost interest when they saw it was just a dagger.

However, they also understood that the legendary item, being the grand finale of this auction, wouldn't be brought out until the end.

So, they could only wait patiently.

Although almost all the players came for the legendary item, there were still quite a few assassin players at the scene who were very interested in this dagger.

Therefore, the bids began to come in one after another...

"I bid 40 Gold Coins!"

"I bid 45 Gold Coins!"

"I bid 55 Gold Coins!"
