Chapter 26: Chapter 26: “Baron Title” and “Fief” (Seeking Chase Reading)

Translator: 549690339

“100,000 gold coins?”

There was a brief pause in the auction house, until a tentative voice broke that silence.

“150,000 gold coins!”

“180,000 gold coins!”

From the moment the first bid was placed, countless other bids followed.

The majority of the frantic bidders were surprisingly from smaller families.

On the other hand, people from the Rose Family, who shared the second -floor private booth with Milton Cheney, were strangely silent.

For these petty families, a Breathing Technique could be a treasure. Even if it meant emptying out their coffers, it was paramount to acquire.

But for the larger families, it was not deemed as significant.

After all, many of the larger families already possessed Breathing Techniques, some even superior to this Frost Breathing Technique.

In the end, this Breathing Technique was sold for 280,000 gold coins to a member from a minor family.

The price was by no means small, but compared to the value it held for them, the cost was not as crucial.

Milton Cheney observed the ecstatic expression of the noble who won the bid.

The next item in the auction grabbed Cheney’s interest, albeit it held no real significant meaning to him.

“The ninety-ninth item to be auctioned, a Magic Potion — ‘Gargoyle’s Tears’.

This Magic Potion can assist an ordinary Peak Quasi-Knight in activating the Life Seed, but it drains all potential, halting their progress at the Official Knight Realm forever.

Its value is immense, and there’s no starting bid. The item goes to the highest bidder!”

A wooden box was presented by the auctioneer.

Upon opening the box, a transparent crystal flask was revealed to the gathering nobles.

It contained a pale yellow liquid, seemingly ordinary if observed superficially.
