Gravity Mage with Level-Up System - Chapter 1636: Auction starts!
Chapter 1636: Auction starts!
Young Master Hale was waiting for the auction to start. He could see that only a few empty seats remained.
He could already imagine the fate of these people after the end of the auction. His gaze then fell on the storage bracelet.
The item given by Elder Abel was inside. It was an outer space item. Also, the item prepared for the 2nd plan was inside.
Thinking about it, his expression turned solemn.
Time passed by.
More and more seats started to fill. However, the private rooms on the second floor were already occupied.
But so far, no Forbidden Wizard has made an entry.
The people who were seated were waiting for the auction to start. But they could see that some seats were empty, so they were quite patient.
Meanwhile
Elder Abel was in the City Lord’s office alone. He was feeling restless. The auction would start at any time. The 1st plan of theirs was successful.
The sealing Artifact was in place. He gave an item for the 2nd plan to Young Master Hale.
The item was enough to kill the people inside the auction house, including the Magic Lords.
But he was afraid that a Forbidden Wizard would spoil their plan. He was going to continue to watch over from here.
If any Forbidden Wizard made an appearance, he would stop him from entering the city.
Outside the City
A middle-aged man was walking on foot in the sky. He was moving towards Falling Star City. If Vincent was here, he would be shocked to the core.
The person was none other than the help sent by Lord Charlotte. The Forbidden Wizard was none other than Lord Erwin, one of the Forbidden Wizards of the Silver Tower.
It was this morning that he had decided to come. When Lord Charlotte told him about Vincent Carey, he didn’t take it seriously.
Because he doubted anyone could take action against a Silver Tower member. He thought Vincent Carey was an official member now.
With his identity, the City Lords of the independent cities would welcome him with a red carpet.
But it was only when Lord Charlotte told him about the Sutton Family’s conspiracy that he realized something big was going to happen.
He knew that the Sutton Family was an ally of the Black Tower. The Black Tower was a rival of the Silver Tower.
More than the Elemental Magic Towers, the Black Tower posed a real threat to them. Their wizards faced the scheme of the Black Mark everywhere.
He was also aware of Forbidden Wizard Remi’s killing intentions towards Vincent Carey. Only after thinking about it did he decide to come.
He was afraid that it could be a conspiracy of the Black Tower. He didn’t want Vincent Carey to fall into any trap.

From MC’s Perspective
A few minutes later,
The auction officially started. The curtains were removed, and a wide stage came into view. A middle-aged woman wearing a blazer, shirt, and pants stepped forward.
“Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to the 320th City Auction Event,” she said with a smile.
Her voice reached everyone’s ears. The female staff member was a Level-9 Wizard herself.
Clap!
Hearing that, guests started clapping their hands. But the private room was quiet. No one could guess who was inside.
When the clapping ended, the female staff smiled and said, “The first item to be auctioned is a Grade-9 Magic Artifact. It’s called the Black Rock Shield. It is a product of the Pioneer Company of the Magic City.”
“The base price of the item is 50,000 Top Grade Mana Stones,” she added.
Gasps!
Hearing that, a loud exclamation occurred. No one could believe the price.
It was one thing to have enough top grade stones, but most of the wizards here had come from medium-sized organizations. Their high-level currency was medium grade mana stones.
Gulp!
A few of the wizards gulped their saliva. They knew this time the auction event was special because of the last auction item, which was the special outer item.
Everyone had doubts in their minds, including the guests seated in the private rooms, which included the Magic Lords.
After seeing the Grade-9 Magic Artifact and the company behind it, they didn’t doubt anymore. They sighed in relief.
It was not easy to get the magic items made by Pioneer because the top Wizards in the Magic City would buy them first. The magic artifacts were available in few numbers to the rest of the locals.
That price was sky high. But here, they could get it for 50,000 top grade mana stones.
“51,000!”
Suddenly, a deep male voice sounded from the 1st private room.
Quiet!
Hearing that, people on the first floor became quiet. They understood a big shot had made a move. They looked towards the private rooms.
A hint of envy and awe flashed in their eyes.
The people started discussing their identity. Among the independent cities, there was a clear power difference between them.
Some of the independent cities were backed by the Forbidden Wizards. Others had Magic Lords as their heads.
But these people knew the Magic Lords had come here. They thought it must be them making a bid.
Inside the 3rd room,
I raised my eyebrows in surprise. I had heard about this Pioneer Company. It’s one of the magic tech companies.
To think their item was auctioned at this remote place. I couldn’t help but think whether it was the work of the Sutton Family.
The female staff smiled. Her gaze scanned the whole place.
She said, “This item at 51,000 Top Grade Mana stones, going once.”
After saying that, she paused.
“Going twice,” she said.
Her gaze fell on the people. Especially, her gaze fell on the second floor. She was going to see whether anyone was going for the bid.
“52,000!”
A female voice came from the 4th room. The female was not young; she was a middle-aged woman.
Hearing that, everyone was shocked. Another big shot had made a move. Everyone was wondering what the identity of the woman was. They couldn’t help but think of the major independent cities.
