I glanced at the number on my invitation: 412, the twelfth seat in the fourth row.
Linda continued down and arrived at a dimly lit venue.
Individual sofas, arranged in an arch, surround the auction table.
There are five rows in total.
The placement of each row is carefully considered.
The one sitting at the very front is quite capable.
Linda, in the first row, spotted the woman in the cat mask who had bumped into her earlier.
The other person was looking straight ahead, seemingly unaware of his arrival.
Everyone in the venue was dressed in black robes and wore various masks, and remained quiet.
In front of Linda, at seat 311, there was a petite man in a black robe wearing a comical clown mask who stared at him for a while.
When he looked back, the other person immediately looked away.
'acquaintance?'
Linda thought to herself, puzzled.
...
The auction has officially begun.
The auctioneer on stage was a woman with a voluptuous figure, wearing a gold off-the-shoulder dress.
Wearing a mask that only covered half of her face, her bright red lips exuded a strong allure in the dim light.
One by one, the auction items were brought to the stage.
Linda made a series of bids.
I managed to snag an 18th-level earth-elemental staff, a 19th-level chest piece, and a 18th-level pair of pants.
All items are of the rare purple quality, costing a total of 50,000 gold coins.
These are for Monica. Wearing them, Monica's magic attack is estimated to exceed 900.
The standard for breaking the defense of the rare boss Black Armor Crab General is 500 attack, which Monica has far exceeded.
Linda's attack power without her main weapon was 563, barely enough to break through the defense line.
Considering the killer crab's resistance to poison, its attack should ideally reach 700.
"Next up is our 168th lot, which the appraiser has declared 'extremely valuable.' Please get your coins ready!"
The alluring auctioneer, named Meisi, swayed her hips as she took a long, golden box from the waiter's hands.
The long box was opened, revealing a magical longsword wrapped in soft white silk.
A dazzling orange light was released from it.
The sword is two fingers wide and engraved with intricate magical runes. One side is a blade, and the other side is serrated. It is about 1.2 meters long, and a sapphire like a cat's eye is inlaid in the black hilt.
As the longsword was taken out of the wooden box, everyone seemed to hear the sound of ocean waves echoing in the hall, and schools of fish flying past them!
At this moment, even the most despicable orcs shifted their gaze from the auctioneer, Misty's, figure to the longsword.
Some simply held their number plates in their hands, ready to raise them at any moment.
Even among orange-tier equipment, this is an extremely top-tier weapon!
Every adventurer's eyes gleamed with fervor, like a hungry beggar eyeing a feast, or a lustful orc grasping the elf lady's hand... eagerly preparing to make their bids!
Linda and number 311 in front of her were also drawn to the blue magic longsword.
The elegant, slender blade and the rugged serrations are cleverly integrated into one.
This weapon is highly collectible just because of its appearance.
Coupled with its strong magical aura, there is no doubt that a fierce bidding war is about to unfold.
Miss Meisi was pleased with the intense gazes of the crowd. Her fingers traced the blade of the magic sword downwards, as if caressing a lover's chest.
Many adventurers watched with dry mouths and swallowed hard.
"Weapon, [Azure Sword], the appraiser estimates it to be level 15, orange rare quality, increases damage against aquatic monsters by 40%, and increases strength by 300 points."
After speaking, Meisi smiled and looked at the crowd below the stage.
With their perspective, they naturally understood the value of this equipment.
Ordinary level 15 orange equipment provides around 20% increased damage against specific monsters, and the price jumps dramatically for every 1% increase.
The Azure Sword increases damage against aquatic monsters by a whopping 40%!
For a weapon like this, all words are superfluous.
All descriptions are defilements.
The best description would be to simply tell everyone about the power contained within the Azure Sword.
Just as the Americans had imagined, the adventurers were collectively excited!
Linda's breathing became rapid without her realizing it; she had a 40% damage increase from aquatic monsters and 300 points of strength.
Under his legendary passive skill [Libra Conservation], he will also gain 300 mana.
This attribute value is almost perfect for a level 15 weapon.
The accompanying high percentage damage increase can keep it from becoming obsolete for a long time.
Even if Linda reaches level 30 or even 40 in the future, the Azure Sword's 40% damage increase against aquatic monsters can still be used as a countermeasure weapon.
From an attribute perspective, this Azure Sword has no weaknesses.
If I had to point out a flaw, it's that it's expensive!
Linda still has 450,000 gold coins left, which can easily buy other level 15 orange equipment.
However, this percentage-based damage increase, even usable by star-rank adventurers, makes it impossible to be 100% certain of defeating aquatic monsters with this kind of weapon.
Among the VIPs in the first row, some were clearly interested, staring at the Azure Sword, eager to try their luck.
Linda's palms sweated as she faced these potential Star Rank competitors.
His financial resources are far inferior to those of veteran Star Rank members.
His only hope was that the other party didn't particularly like the weapon; only then could he possibly succeed.
"Azure Sword, starting bid 100,000 gold, minimum increment 10,000 gold."
Meisi tapped the gavel. "Auction, begin!"
