~7 min read 1,317 words

"What is this!"

As Ailos's voice fell, the Sumeru merchants, adventurers, and even adventurers from other nations present were all discussing and talking.

While everyone was discussing, they cast their gazes towards Ailos.

Most people, whether on their faces or in their words, had mockery, disdain, and indifference.

"Damn it."

Hearing these people's discussions, Ailos's face turned livid.

This was the first time he had encountered a situation where the Akademiya's reputation couldn't be used.

But now it seemed there was really no way, completely different from what he had expected.

"If you have no money, go back and drink milk."

"I bid five million Mora!"

"Five million Mora? I bid six million!"

"Seven million!"

One person after another continued to participate in the bidding, ignoring Ailos completely; Ailos was ignored like a clown.

Under everyone's gaze, the price of the method to treat Eleazar patients kept rising.

"Good, good, good."

Seeing the rising Mora price, Dori beamed with joy, feeling extremely excited in her heart.

This auction would definitely exceed her expectations.

"Zzzzt!"

At this moment, suddenly a sound of electric current came from outside.

As the sound of electric current approached, the noise that had already risen in the auction venue began to be replaced by an invisible tension.

Even in the extremely noisy auction, at this moment everyone heard this sound.

Subconsciously, everyone's gazes looked over in unison.

Everyone present turned their heads to look, their gazes filled with curiosity and anxiety.

"Electro Vision holder."

Dori's eyelids twitched immediately, sensing that the person coming was an Electro Vision holder.

This makes no sense; how could a Vision holder participate in this auction?

Under everyone's gaze, a figure walked in.

Seeing this figure, many people present gasped, instantly recognizing him.

It was actually Cyno!

The General Mahamatra of the Akademiya!

Cyno's figure walked slowly into the venue; his arrival was like a heavy stone thrown into a pond, stirring up ripples of spirit.

His attire was just like his reputation, full of majesty and mystery.

A uniform in deep blue and gray-white tones covered his tall body, with exquisite metal decorations embedded on the uniform, shining with the brilliance of lightning.

He wore a unique headpiece, embedded with a symbol representing the Electro element, revealing an inviolable power.

His face was resolute, his eyes deep, as if he could see through people's hearts.

His stern expression and firm steps conveyed an aura that could not be challenged.

Every piece of equipment on him, whether it was the staff hanging at his waist or the talismans tied to his wrists, revealed his supreme status and powerful strength in the Akademiya.

When he walked into the auction venue, the original noise stopped abruptly, and a strange silence descended.

Whether it was the scholars of Sumeru, the nobles of Sumeru, or even the big merchants who were usually the most confident in their words and deeds, all chose to remain silent at this moment, fearing to attract the attention of this General Mahamatra.

Cyno's arrival not only brought silence but also an indescribable sense of oppression, as if the entire auction was under his control.

"Hell, why did this one come?"

"He wouldn't be here to participate in the auction, would he?"

"Our auction participation doesn't seem to violate the Akademiya's decrees."

Looking at Cyno, someone in the silent auction suddenly whispered.

Whether in their eyes or on their faces, there was shock.

"Who is this Vision holder?"

Someone asked curiously, hesitating: "Is his background very big? You are actually so afraid."

"He is the leader of the Matra of the Akademiya; the 'fame' of General Mahamatra Cyno in the Akademiya is known to everyone."

Someone who knew Cyno whispered quickly: "He specifically catches people who violate the Akademiya's decrees, for example, a certain Amurta scholar who, in order to verify the expansion limit of a Floating Hydro Fungus's body, used prohibited catalysts to cultivate a super-giant Floating Hydro Fungus, but the fungus exploded during the experiment, causing the entire research institute to be razed to the ground."

"A certain Kshahrewar scholar wanted to test the farming ability of a Ruin Guard, but the Ruin Guard he modified lost control, destroying a large amount of farmland and causing many people to be seriously injured."

"And there are many other cases of academic fraud and using wisdom for personal gain."

"Isn't this a good thing?"

Hearing this, a merchant from a foreign land looked at Cyno with suspicion.

No matter how you look at it, this behavior is very good, right?

These Sumeru people don't need to be so afraid.

"But it also means that the Matra can catch people as they please, and even list charges against you."

A Sumeru person whispered quickly: "And this General Mahamatra has always been in Sumeru City and rarely comes to Port Ormos; I suspect he is also here for the auction."

For the Matra, the Sumeru merchants, Sumeru scholars, or adventurers present were all afraid.

After all, the Matra don't need a reason to catch people!

While everyone was whispering, Dori on the auction stage looked at Cyno who walked in, and patted the table with dissatisfaction: "Are you also here to participate in the auction? If you are participating in the auction, don't disturb the venue, okay? Find a seat and sit down."

Dori had no awe for Cyno.

After all, she and Cyno had some private friendship.

After all, in all of Sumeru, she, Dori, was the only one who could get him all the "Genius Invokation TCG" peripheral products! Very rare!

There was actually someone like Cyno in the Akademiya who was independent, had good taste, and never bargained.

"I am not participating in the auction; I am just here to maintain order."

Hearing Dori's words, Cyno said calmly: "You auction your things."

Saying this, Cyno stood quietly at the door like a door god.

Dori: "......."

The bidders present heard Cyno's words, their eyelids twitched, and they looked at each other.

And Dori also had black lines on her head.

"Then let's continue the auction."

Seeing Cyno standing there like a door god, the entire auction was extremely quiet; Dori coughed and announced the continuation of the auction.

But no one present shouted a price again.

They looked at each other. After being silent for a good while, they left one by one.

Because many people came here to watch the fun, and suddenly a Sumeru Matra arrived, they all felt uncomfortable.

Especially the Sumeru people, their faces were extremely ugly, but they didn't know what to say.

After all, they guessed that if they participated in the bidding and won, they might be targeted by a General Mahamatra, which was even more heartbreaking.

For a time, this also caused no one to shout prices in the entire auction.

Even those scholars from the Akademiya, looking at the arriving Cyno, couldn't help but twitch their eyelids, look at each other, and not shout prices again.

Although they were from the Akademiya, the Matra wouldn't be friendly to them just because they were scholars.

On the contrary, if they violated anything, they would suffer punishments even more severe than ordinary people.

So for the Matra, even the scholars of the Akademiya were terrified and didn't want to deal with them.

This also caused the entire auction to be extremely cold for a time.

Eventually, because you don't shout a price and I don't shout a price, it completely passed.

"Ah!!!"

Seeing one person after another leave, because of Cyno's arrival, the entire auction arrived, Dori came to Cyno's front in a rage, and said angrily: "I don't need you to maintain order here; your arrival has made everyone unable to participate in the bidding; you are making trouble."

If it weren't for Cyno, her auction would definitely be very normal, and could even auction for a sky-high price.
