At this moment, the beautiful auctioneer from the Cassidra Chamber of Commerce sat down on the platform in a panic.
She could clearly feel the oppressive aura emanating from Viktor, and her body trembled involuntarily.
“I…I…Sir, I need to…inform the Chamber of Commerce.”
"The price you offered is... unlikely to be accepted by the Chamber of Commerce..."
"Then let them agree."
As soon as he finished speaking, several streams of elemental magic of different colors appeared behind Viktor. Clusters of elements materialized and began to flow behind him along an invisible array.
Flames engulfed Victor's arms, and water entangled his legs.
His trench coat billowed rapidly in the wind, and emerald green elemental leaves wrapped around Victor's shoulders.
A dark purple halo of lightning floated overhead.
The force of the elemental upheaval surged from the sky toward the auctioneer, its overwhelming pressure locking onto her.
At this moment, Victor was like a collection of elements.
It stunned everyone present.
"Remember, I'm doing this for your own good."
"Otherwise, there would be no need for your auction to continue."
"Eek—"
The moment the host sensed this terrifying magic, his mind completely went blank, and he could only nod repeatedly.
"I...I'll notify the Chamber of Commerce right away."
She quickly got up, passed through the fluttering red curtain, picked up a cool communication crystal, and spoke rapidly into the other end of the crystal.
Viktor remained standing in the same spot.
Countless people sat silently in the auction hall, staring at Victor with incredibly cold eyes.
No one knows what Viktor's purpose was in doing this.
Even Aurelion was somewhat confused.
She knew that her teacher liked to be high-profile, but he always had a reason for doing things.
But today's actions, in front of countless nobles of the kingdom, made it seem like he was about to blow up the auction hall.
Aurelion found it hard to understand.
Was he just standing up for those demi-humans?
This shouldn't be... This is absolutely not in line with a teacher's style.
So what exactly is the reason?
Then, she suddenly turned her head and looked at August.
The young king seemed to have completely lost the ability to handle things.
Despite being the king of the Kingdom of Kant, he stood there, appearing even more silent than the others.
He showed absolutely no regal bearing.
If you compare him to the Emperor... well.
This young king is no match for him at all.
If today's events really allow Professor Victor to simply walk out of this auction house...
It is likely that this King of Kant will become a laughing stock in the kingdom's history, and even in the stories of countless other countries.
Could this be Viktor's true purpose?
Is he trying to use this opportunity to deliberately provoke a war between the empire and the kingdom?
But just then, the auctioneer returned to the scene.
The Cassidra Chamber of Commerce responded.
The auctioneer returned to the scene, his voice trembling slightly, and cautiously spoke to Victor:
“Mr. Victor, the Chamber of Commerce says they agree to your price.”
"But the condition is that the Chamber of Commerce wants to meet with you..."
Viktor slowly closed his eyes, seemingly lost in deep thought:
"Is that so?"
Everyone waited for Viktor to say his next words, but after a long time, Viktor remained silent.
Just as the noble lords were puzzled and wondering about the meaning of his silence, Victor suddenly opened his eyes and said calmly:
"It's too late."
"?"
When all the nobles and lords on the field were completely baffled.
At this moment, a deafening roar suddenly echoed throughout the entire royal city.
Like a violent storm, it was deafening.
This terrifying, muffled roar was like a tidal wave crashing in, seemingly capable of piercing the sky and shattering all fragility.
In the opulent, candlelit hall, the muffled roar sounded incredibly terrifying and horrifying.
Even the load-bearing capacity of the walls was affected, and dust gradually fell from the dome, making the entire venue building shaky.
Fine dust drifted down from the dome, causing the entire venue to tremble slightly.
The crowd stared at the scene before them like statues, their hearts filled with panic.
But the noble lords did not choose to sit idly by and wait for their doom. They all stood up, drew their longswords, and became alert.
"What is that sound? A wild beast?"
"What happened? Is it a monster siege?"
But this is almost impossible.
After all, this is the capital city of the Kingdom of Kant.
The surrounding wild animal forests have been almost completely cleared away by the regularly patrolling guard teams.
At the same time, Gwen placed her hand on the hilt of her sword at her waist and stood beside Aurelion, equally on guard.
Aurelion also sensed the sudden tension in the room. Hearing the muffled roars that kept coming into her ears, she stood up and began to look around for possible dangers.
At the same time, a bright green light suddenly flashed from one of Vanilla's eyes.
In her eyes, the once dazzling golden venue gradually sank into darkness.
Beneath this pitch blackness, faint human-shaped lights of life flickered.
They pierced through the surrounding walls and through the ceiling, becoming clearly visible to Vanilla.
Those are countless life forms that are similar to humans, yet different from humans.
They gathered outside the auction hall, and even countless winged bird-men landed on the dome of the auction hall.
At that moment, Vanilla exclaimed in surprise.
"...the demi-people have surrounded this place!?"
Aurelian turned around abruptly, looking at Vanilla in disbelief.
Suddenly, a soldier, his equipment tattered and his flesh mangled, stumbled and crashed through the door, dragging his mangled leg.
With a thud, he finally collapsed onto the red carpet.
His appearance drew everyone's attention.
"Your Majesty! And all the lords!"
The soldier was panting heavily, his voice extremely weak.
It was as if he was clinging to his last breath, on the verge of death.
Even August suddenly turned his gaze to him.
"A large group of demi-humans have invaded the royal city!"
"They broke into the homes of nobles and took those demi-human slaves..."
Release them all!
