Talent level increased by one, a transcendent Star Wizard

Phyllis knew who it was just by the voice, and her face immediately darkened: "It's Simon!"

Seeing this, Phyllis tentatively bid twice more, and sure enough, Simon kept following behind. At this point, the price had reached 370 gold.

Perhaps they'll give up after two more rounds of matches, since the other side is probably just trying to annoy Phyllis.

Seeing that Phyllis was about to bid again, Xia Jian smiled, pressed Phyllis's shoulder, and shook his head slightly to indicate that she should stop bidding.

Compared to Bitao Rui, the value of Fengmo Zhan is still somewhat lacking.

Moreover, the yield of Bitao Rui is extremely low. If you miss this opportunity, you don't know when you will have another chance to buy it.

Even if something better than Bi Tao Rui appears, the talent of mid-level and above knights is already very high, and its practical value is beyond doubt. Phyllis probably has to spend all his wealth to afford it.

"want……"

Phyllis tried to struggle a little more, but was interrupted by Natsumi.

"It's meaningless. I'm just curious about what kind of knight technique it is. It's not of much use to me."

With the '+1' talent, anything can unleash unparalleled power in Xia Jian's hands, so there's no need to dwell on this technique with its somewhat legendary aura.

"I'll ask someone to look for other knight skills later."

Seeing this, Phyllis had nothing to say. If the bidding continued, there was no guarantee that something unexpected might happen to Bitao Rui.

Besides, it's too late to raise money now; all we can do is promise to find another knight skill book for Xia Jian later.

…………

The following auction items were mostly equipment, all masterpieces, including a high-level knight's sword.

Even Natsumi, who usually scoffs at the world, couldn't help but be tempted.

Compared to the Demon-Sealing Slash, which requires training, the Knight's Sword can more directly increase combat power, hence its price has been inflated to 530 gold.

Unfortunately, Xia Jian doesn't usually have the habit of saving money, and unless he keeps making pills, he can't earn that much money in a short time.

"Next up is a treasure called Bitao Rui. I believe everyone has heard of it. It can help people without knight talent to cultivate knightly arts and embark on the path to becoming stronger."

"Starting price: 1000 gold. Bidding begins now!"

As the host finished speaking, a series of bids rang out in the room, and the price quickly reached 1400 gold.

Seeing that things were about right, Phyllis immediately added 100 gold, which immediately silenced the entire arena.

However, someone soon started bidding again, but each time the price was only around 10 or 20 gold coins. Clearly, the high price had made them start to question whether the Bitao Rui was worth it.

"1720 gold!"

Seeing this, Phyllis didn't hesitate and immediately raised the price by another 100 gold.

Contrary to the novel's depiction of a head-on confrontation, Simon did not make the bid that Xia Jian had expected.

Whether it was because she had been burned once and was afraid, or perhaps it was due to Bi Tao Rui's personal value, Phyllis directly acquired ownership of Bi Tao Rui.

The original value of Bitao Rui was around 1600 to 1800, so the price that Phyllis paid was acceptable.

"The last item in the auction is a wizard's notebook, which mainly records the wizard's research on the Motuo script."

As soon as the host mentioned wizards, the room fell silent, but then a cacophony of discussion erupted.

"wizard?"

Xia Jian raised an eyebrow and looked at Phyllis with a puzzled expression.

He had only been in this world for a short time, spending most of his time cultivating in the manor and only occasionally reading books in his spare time, so he didn't know what a wizard was.

Seeing that Xia Jian didn't know, Phyllis immediately began to explain.

It is said that wizards are people who possess extraordinary powers, able to control wind, fire, lightning, and even storms and tsunamis, and are many times more powerful than knights. In short, they are inhumanly strong.

Upon hearing this, Xia Jian immediately became interested and couldn't help but think of the manor owner's black iron box.

The characters inside are completely incomprehensible; perhaps the "Motuo script" recorded in this wizard's notebook is the same script as the one above.

"Could it be a wizard's cultivation technique?!"

Upon thinking of this, Xia Jian instantly perked up.

After all, that's how it's always written in novels, right? It's normal for a transmigrator to obtain a wizard cultivation manual, isn't it?

How much money do you have left?

Xia Jian quickly turned to look at Phyllis and asked.

Items from wizards like this would probably be very expensive, so the only way to get them is to ask Phyllis for help.

"Actually, this kind of thing is just for fun and doesn't have much practical value. It's not even a wizard's cultivation method. What's the use of learning to read?"

"Besides, wizarding languages ​​aren't easy to learn; I heard there are some requirements as well."

Phyllis shook her head slightly and explained the pros and cons to Xia Jian, trying to persuade him to give up.

But Xia Jian wasn't about to give up so easily. Just because he couldn't use it now didn't mean he wouldn't be able to use it in the future. Xia Jian always kept in mind the saying that knowledge is power.

"Knowledge is power. It's always good to learn more. I'll make up for the money I borrowed."

Upon hearing this, Phyllis fell silent.

Knowledge is power?

Knowledge is useful, but it's far inferior to what knights possess; at best, it can only make life a little better for ordinary people like them.

However, due to the relationship between the two, Phyllis still took out all the money she had.

After deducting the money spent on purchasing Bitao Rui, there were still about 600 gold coins left.

"That's a bit too little."

Looking at the money on the table, Xia Jian stroked his chin and murmured softly.

Seeing this, Phyllis smiled and said, "That's enough. It's not like it's equipment or cultivation methods used by wizards. There's enough money here to buy it."

Although wizards are very mysterious, they are just like any other wizard to ordinary people.

People are only interested in buying these kinds of things at first, but in the end, they use them for collecting and showing off to others, so there aren't many people who are truly interested.

Moreover, if it were truly valuable, it wouldn't have been put up for auction in the first place; it would probably have been bought privately long ago, or it might already be in the hands of a lord.

Trying to get a bargain?

Did he really think he could become a wizard?

What's the difference between that and dreaming big but utterly useless?

Besides, everyone here is a seasoned veteran, someone who doesn't have to worry about food and drink. Do you think they would be as prone to daydreaming as those ordinary people?

After hearing Phyllis's story, Xia Jian was taken aback. He had thought that such a thing was very popular among ordinary people.

After all, it's about a mysterious wizard, shouldn't people be fighting tooth and nail for it?

Just as Phyllis had predicted, the starting bid was 400 gold coins, but there were hardly any bidders, and the bids were only raised by tens of gold coins at a time, eventually reaching a total of 525 gold coins.

Xia Jian didn't hesitate and immediately quoted a price of 600 gold.

No one even argued with Natsumi; he simply bought the Wizard's Notebook.
