With the private room providing privacy, Michael's divine radiance did not cause much of a disturbance. This specially designed room had the effect of isolating energy transmission.
As the light gradually faded, the strange phenomena in the private room also subsided, and Michael reappeared before everyone, only now he was a four-winged angel.
"Wow! Do you have any artifacts for goblins? I want to evolve my goblin too? A four-winged goblin?" The fat man said excitedly, looking at the holy angel in the private room.
"You're dreaming. The only artifact a goblin has is the Coin of Wealth. Even if you become a god, you're just a god of wealth. A four-winged goblin, for crying out loud?" Ye Chen said irritably, but the fat man became even more excited upon hearing this.
"Holy crap! Goblins really have artifacts? Coins of Wealth? Where? Can I find them? The God of Wealth is a god too, wouldn't he crush these trash? Not to mention, the God of Wealth represents endless wealth!" the fat man exclaimed excitedly. Even Si Meng and Jian Mengyi were equally astonished. It was the first time they had ever heard of goblins having racial artifacts.
"You can have anything in your dreams, sweetie~~~ go to sleep~~~" Ye Chen pinched his brow and comforted him with a helpless expression.
He just made something up based on a game from his past life, how could you guys actually believe it? Where the hell is he supposed to find a Coin of Wealth for you?
"No way! Brother Chen, please tell me, help me out! This path to godhood for goblins is related to your future!" the fat man said persistently, determined to get an answer.
"No, no! I was just making this up. If you don't believe me, go look in those goblin star systems and see if there are any gods among them. Don't forget, this is a race despised by the gods. If they had even one god, how could they still be despised by the gods?" Ye Chen said helplessly.
Upon hearing these two contradictory conclusions, the fat man and the others were taken aback and sighed with slight regret.
Indeed, although the chances are very low, goblins are a race that can be recruited by lords. However, almost all known divine relics related to goblins mention that goblins are a race despised by the gods. How could such a race, whose very survival is a problem, possibly give birth to gods?
"Alright, alright, stop thinking about that. Even if it really exists, it's not that easy to find. Let's take a look at the auction below! Another great item has come up!" Si Meng comforted everyone, drawing their attention back to the auction.
As Michael advanced, the auction went on for several rounds, and finally, another item that could ignite the entire room was brought out: the Water God's Tear!
This is a teardrop-shaped gem, said to be formed from the tears of the water god, and it holds the path to becoming a great water mage.
Although not as rare as a true artifact like the Sword of Radiance, it's still a pretty good item that can help the water mages in the territory grow faster.
Most importantly, it contains divine power, which can be used as material for the inheritance stele, enabling the entire territory to develop in the direction of a water-based territory.
"That's something!" the fat man praised, but he didn't participate in the bidding. Although the material was good, they didn't need it, and it would be a waste to buy it.
“Absolutely. It’s a pity that the Water God’s Tear can only be most effective in the hands of a water-type familiar. If it were replaced with something like the Moon God’s Tear or the Light Stone, it could be put to good use.” Si Meng nodded and answered with a hint of pride. This was all the territory she had conquered.
The Water God's Tear isn't a divine artifact, so it naturally couldn't fetch the price of the Radiant Sword, but it still sold for tens of thousands of fourth-tier magic crystals, even more than the Fatty's goblin armor. This made everyone sigh once again, "Wow, there are so many rich people in this world! Too bad none of them are mine!"
Throughout the auction, no more divine artifacts like the Sword of Radiance appeared, but quite a few items like the Tears of the Water God did. Even Ye Chen and his group made several bids and won back a few useful items.
It wasn't until halfway through the auction that Qiu Yu finally brought out a truly significant item: the bloodline crystal, which all the new lords, and indeed all the lords, coveted.
"The next item up for auction is the bloodline crystal of the Gray Iron Dwarves. I won't say more. The starting price is 100,000 Tier 4 magic crystals. Let's begin!" Qiu Yu didn't even bother with much introduction. He simply announced the starting price and let everyone start the auction.
No one had any objections, because this item needed no introduction. It was one of the rarest items among all the lord's items, something that could affect the development of the entire territory.
"Two hundred thousand!" A lord immediately made a bid, doubling the price without giving the ordinary lords any time to think.
This was just the beginning; bids kept pouring in, and the price quickly rose to around 400,000, and it continues to climb.
"My God! This is insane! Can someone explain to me what this thing is used for?" A lord exclaimed in amazement. The price of 400,000 was something that even many lords who were good at making money couldn't help but hesitate to buy.
"Increase the diversity of the clans! Increase the number of clan recruitments! There is a certain chance of mutation! There is a certain chance of the birth of a companion race!" In fact, someone actually answered him, but just these few words were enough to determine that the price of bloodline crystals was beyond the reach of ordinary people.
"Brother Chen, should we bid?" the fat man asked Ye Chen. They hadn't made any bids yet, but that didn't mean they weren't interested.
“Bid, but no rush. There are still quite a few people here, and the price hasn’t reached its peak yet!” Ye Chen nodded, but quietly watched the bids on the field.
When the price reached 400,000, the number of bidders finally decreased, but the price increase did not slow down. The price was basically being raised by 10,000 at a time. When it reached 450,000, a few more people gave up. At this point, only three people were still bidding.
"Five hundred thousand!" Seeing that the situation was about right, Ye Chen finally called out the price, which immediately caused another uproar among the crowd.
Bloodline crystals have never had a fixed price. A single bloodline crystal has fetched an astonishingly high price at auctions. Of course, there have also been instances where they failed to sell at auction, depending entirely on market demand.
The price of 500,000 fourth-tier magic crystals is considered low, but in the trial space, it is an astronomical price that most people can hardly afford.
When Ye Chen made his bid, the lords who had been competing fell into a brief silence. Two of them then gave up, leaving only one lord still gritting his teeth and persisting.
