Chapter 338: The Final Auction Item: Regional Large-Scale Protective Magic Array

It was also out of consideration for everyone's worries like this that Diana had arranged things this way.

After all, the struggles between organizations and the struggles between races had an essential difference.

At least the various Clan Leaders could barely sit together despite many issues and concerns.

But as for the cadres between organizations, the only thing left was battle.

"Look at what you're saying, acting as if the Blue Moon Circus is some small organization. Or could it be that you, the Commander, have always felt it's a small organization?"

Pansy King, who was getting her nail polish applied, looked sideways at Nicholas complaining with his hands behind his head. She curled her lips and spoke in a highly disdainful tone.

...

Sigh...

Hearing her words, Nicholas sighed again and didn't answer.

At this moment on the auction stage, Beatrice and a few Witches seemed to be preparing something.

After a while, under the anticipation of the crowd, the Witches were finally ready.

It was a circular sandbox about five meters across.

On the sandbox, there were cities, mountains, forests, swamps, beaches, and cliffs.

Many people might not be very clear, but for those who had quickly toured the entire Forsaken Territory in a few days, they naturally knew that this sandbox was a map of the entire Forsaken Territory.

"I believe everyone knows that the entire region of my Forsaken Territory can now resist the attacks of Mana Turbulence and Mana Tide, allowing everyone to return to their original normal lives."

"And all of this relies on this 'Regional Large-Scale Protective Magic Array'."

Speaking of this, the lights at the scene suddenly dimmed.

Although it was easy for problems to occur like this, because everyone in the hall was under the muting status, there wasn't much of a commotion either.

And in the next second, a beam of light on the stage illuminated Beatrice and the sandbox.

And above the sandbox, what people saw was an exceptionally complex purple Magic Array slowly rising to envelop the entire sandbox.

"Then next, let us enter the final auctioned item of today—One copy of the Regional Large-Scale Protective Magic Array, materials self-provided."

With her head held high, Beatrice pointed her finger at this sandbox and Magic Array that dazzled everyone's eyes, and shouted in a high-pitched voice.

"Ah!?"

Before Beatrice's voice had even settled, the entire venue, whether the main hall or the private rooms, instantly boiled over.

Whether it was the Clan Leaders of those races, the cadres of the organizations, or even those retail investors who simply couldn't afford it, everyone was excited.

Although everyone knew that the current Forsaken Territory becoming like this was the good deed of the Witches.

And they also knew that the Witches had mastered a type of Magic Array.

But they never expected that the Magic Array protecting the entire Forsaken Territory would be so complex, so magnificent.

They even less expected that the Witches would actually be willing to sell this kind of technology!

Although it looked like they were probably just selling the finished product and not the knowledge, even so, it was something many organizations dreamed of.

Although seemingly being able to resist Mana Turbulence and Mana Tide didn't count as a big deal, and one could even rest for ten days a month because of it.

But being able to go out all day regardless of the weather, and not having to worry about being attacked by these two fierce natural phenomena, was an extremely wonderful thing.

Moreover... the control over an entire region, anyone would get dizzy upon hearing this.

In ancient times, there was the idiom of 'One peach kills three warriors', which told the story of how to use a single peach to kill three people.

And now.

A single regional protective magic array instantly made the atmosphere at the scene restless, especially those guys in the private rooms who should be able to afford it.

"Tower, what is the meaning of this?"

The people who were originally still waiting for Lan Qingyou to say something were all shocked when Beatrice announced the final auctioned item.

"It means exactly this. If anyone needs it, you can bid on it."

Lan Qingyou still maintained her smile, but the fists of the people around her all hardened.

"Is the expenditure for this Magic Array large?"

At this moment, someone asked a key question.

After all, what the Witches were selling was the construction of the Magic Array, the materials still had to be self-provided. So if the consumption was too large, the loss would outweigh the gain.

Others might not have the opportunity to ask this, but as people from the same organization as Lan Qingyou, the Manor members still had this perk.

Yes, knowing a bit more was never a bad thing.

So one by one, they all looked at Lan Qingyou.

"Um... can you untie the rope on me first?"

...

"Who is it! Who tied up our Witch Queen! Somebody come quickly and untie her!"

Hearing Lan Qingyou's request, Ruan Qingyi immediately started clamoring on the side like a little delinquent girl.

And Vivian and Gu Xiaobei saluted Ruan Qingyi, shouted a 'Yes ma'am', and then eagerly went up to untie Lan Qingyou.

"You three guys, one day I'll show you what's what."

"Hehe."

Facing Lan Qingyou's gnashing threats, the three only chuckled foolishly.

"Then the consumption for the Magic Array..."

"Everything."

"Huh?"

The crowd blanked out.

Then Lan Qingyou lowered her head slightly, smiling sinisterly.

"All the materials and Gold Coins I've hoarded since transmigrating up until last month, plus an advance I took from Shang Chuan. Oh, and the advance payment for the Golems you guys ordered was also thrown in."

"..."

"This consumption is too large, right?"

"Even you're like this. If I were to make it, wouldn't I have to sell my undies?"

"What if it was a bit smaller? Making it a bit smaller should still be fine."

"It already says it's for the whole region. If it's smaller, what's the point of buying it? Just to look pretty?"

After hearing the price Lan Qingyou had paid, the crowd immediately fell into a heated discussion.

Some frowned in thought, some counted their family assets on their fingers, and some complained there in a bad mood...

To be honest, every single person present was considered outstanding among the Transmigrators.

Whether in academic research of magic or in their ability to turn it into cash, they were existences others could only look up to.

So compared to Lan Qingyou, they actually weren't that poor.

Of course, this 'not poor' was only relative.

After all, comparing cash-out ability with products like an Alchemist's potions and Golems was basically asking to be humiliated.

But even an Alchemist like this had to empty her family assets and even spend in advance just to scrape together the materials needed for the entire Magic Array. Then it seemed they wouldn't be able to build it for the time being even if they bought it.

In that case, wouldn't it be the same as buying it for nothing?

Thus, quite a few people had already started to back down.

After all, to them, they had their respective autonomous territories, and it seemed they didn't need this stable ruling right for the time being.

But to others, especially those who didn't know the inside story, it was a different matter.

And just at this time, Beatrice on the stage picked up the microphone again...
