"It's really a legacy item!"
"The organizers are incredible—would they actually put something like this up for auction?"
"What a massive move!"
...
The entire venue erupted in astonishment. Even the people in the second-floor private boxes couldn't help but pay close attention. Although they had already been told it was a legacy item, the information had been sparse—they had to wait for the auction to reveal the details.
Hidden classes were no longer a secret in the Divine Realm, but obtaining one was far too difficult—harder, even, than getting an epic-grade item. And unlike epic-grade items, which would eventually be phased out, a hidden class stayed with you forever.
Any guild that had obtained clues or items related to a hidden class would never put them up for sale.
And now the very first item at the Dark Auction was this shocking. One could only imagine that the items to follow would be no less impressive.
"As you can all see, I'm afraid we cannot disclose the specific details—that's to protect the buyer. However, I can share the basic information. This is the Legacy Shield of the Magic Knight. In terms of legacy tier, it's a high-tier legacy. As a defensive hidden class, I'm sure you all understand its value is by no means inferior to those top-tier legacies."
"Because this item is special, the seller will only accept
"Now, let's begin!"
The moment the host finished, the entire venue exploded.
Not for any other reason—simply because the opening price was so terrifyingly high that everyone was stunned.
The Dark Arena's auction accepted both Magic Crystals and gold coins as payment. However, compared to Magic Crystals, the major guilds far preferred to pay in gold, because Magic Crystals were extremely hard to come by. Trade between the major guilds was all conducted in gold, so earning gold was much faster for them. Magic Crystals, on the other hand, could only be obtained from dungeons or farmed from monsters in regional dungeons—there was no other way.
But a starting price of twenty thousand Magic Crystals was a figure that very few guilds could accept. Even players from first-rate guilds felt their hearts skip a beat.
Still, as a defensive hidden class, the major guilds and renowned adventuring parties felt they had to compete, no matter how much it stung. After all, the MT was the core of any team—when the MT grew stronger, the entire team's overall strength rose by an entire tier.
"Twenty-two thousand!"
"Twenty-four thousand!"
"Twenty-six thousand!"
...
Instantly, bids rang out all across the venue, and the price soared, breaking through thirty thousand Magic Crystals in the blink of an eye.
If converted to gold, that was seven thousand five hundred gold coins—a massive expenditure for any first-rate guild at this stage. But seven thousand five hundred gold couldn't buy you thirty thousand Magic Crystals.
"A Magic Knight?"
He hadn't expected the Dark Auction to be this impressive—even a Magic Knight legacy had fallen into their hands.
The Magic Knight hidden class had been very famous in his previous life. Not only were its offensive capabilities enhanced, but its defensive power had also jumped significantly. Most importantly, its magic resistance received a massive boost, making it an exceedingly rare hidden class.
If he could turn his guild's MT into a Magic Knight, future raids on the level-50 regional dungeon, the
The Tower of Time and Space had been a contested battleground among the surrounding kingdoms and empires in his previous life.
Not only did the Tower produce Magic Crystals, but more importantly, it produced Seven Radiance Crystals. In his previous life, the Mental Space System had activated too late—by the time it did, the mainstream level of the major guilds had already exceeded the Tower's level cap. Even so, fighting inside the Tower had never ceased.
Now that the Mental Space System had activated so early, Shi Feng could already imagine how brutal the competition for the Tower would become.
And nearly every monster inside the Tower dealt high magic damage—the bosses were an even worse nightmare. Without sufficient magic resistance, going in was just a death sentence.
The main raid teams of the Divine Realm guilds were not as far from level 50 as one might think. They needed to start planning ahead.
Before Shi Feng could speak, he suddenly heard Ling Yin's voice from beside him.
"Fifty thousand!"
The entire venue fell silent. Every pair of eyes turned toward the second-floor private box.
If the private boxes hadn't been able to conceal one's identity, the sheer number of killing glares from the first-floor hall alone would have been enough to destroy Ling Yin countless times over.
