[A death omen!?]

At first, you thought Livre was trying to scare you, but then you sensed something was wrong.

What is she trying to scare you about?

You two are complete strangers, and given Livre's family background, she has no reason to deceive you.

That would be a very serious problem.

[With the mindset of "better safe than sorry," you asked Livre what problems she had.]

Livre shook her head, saying that she had been able to see death signs on others since she was a child, and those who showed these signs often faced a life-or-death crisis in a short period of time.

Most people did die quickly, but some lived a long time and were still alive and well.

She told you not to worry too much; the ominous sign only indicated an impending crisis, not an inevitable death.

Moreover, she can protect you. As long as you stay with her and live in this Sky City for several hundred years, the so-called crisis will naturally resolve itself.

The Winterthorne family could easily protect a level four wizard like you.

You fell silent.

Before, you thought Livia had no reason to scare you, but now you turn your head slightly and look at her concerned expression.

You believe it's not impossible.

[Is this guy just making up a story to get you to be with her?]

But no matter what, you still took Livre's words to heart.

You need to be careful with your upcoming plans.

With one day left before the auction, you decide to sell some of your surplus resources.

You're rolling in wealth right now, but you don't need most of those resources yourself. You'd be better off exchanging them for things that can directly boost your combat power.

You decide to bid farewell to Livia for now, then wander around Sky City looking for places to sell resources, and return to her before the auction tomorrow.

[If all else fails, you can sell your resources to the Hermitage Guild; after all, you have powerful backers now.]

Livre nervously stopped you, telling you not to go through all that trouble, as the Winterthorne family had a trading guild that handled resource buying and selling.

She advised you not to leave her side, otherwise your life would be in danger.

As long as you stay by her side, she can use the laws of fate to shield you from the unknown risks.

You pursed your lips, thinking this guy was more likely trying to scare you.

[Blade Azure also possesses the Law of Illusionary Fate, so why doesn't she have this ability?]

[But since Liviel insists, you have nothing to say. Take out most of your unused resources, including more than a dozen precious Tier 6 resources.]

[Have Liviel help you exchange these items for universal currency such as Law Crystals or Origin Crystals.]

Both currencies are commonly used in the wizarding world and are even prevalent in other planes of existence.

This wasn't forced by the wizards; it's simply that both currencies possess extremely high value, and their purchasing power matches their intrinsic worth.

The reason you readily provided the resources wasn't because you trusted Livia, whom you'd only recently met.

The main problem is that you didn't bring out anything truly valuable.

Livia was somewhat surprised to see the resources piled up in front of her, filling half the room, but she didn't have any bad thoughts.

As a witch who had never lacked resources since childhood, she recognized their value, yet remained unmoved.

When a person becomes wealthy enough, even if they are aware of the scarcity of resources, they still cannot be aroused in the slightest interest.

[The next morning, Liviel took out a storage ring; she had already converted your resources into Origin Crystals.]

You took the storage ring and glanced at it briefly, surprised to find that the currency inside exceeded your expectations by more than 20%.

It seems Livia is buying back the resources you offered at cost.

This is much more profitable than selling resources yourself.

You remembered Livre's favor, even though it was voluntary, you can't pretend you didn't see it.

After all, you don't really want to be a kept man.

Next, Livre will take you to the auction.

The reason you insisted on attending this auction is because you found six wizarding weapons on the auction list that perfectly suited your taste.

You're not interested in those more valuable, smaller, personal magical artifacts, after all, you already have the Godslayer Sword.

Instead, you seem more interested in the massive war machines mounted atop the wizard towers.

While the destructive power of large wizard weapons is astonishing, their enormous size makes them inconvenient to carry, and their energy requirements are excessively high.

[Aside from being useful during wizard expeditions, these large wizard weapons are usually just left to gather dust in the wizard tower.]

Therefore, the value of large wizard weapons is relatively low compared to wizard weapons of the same tier.

But this isn't a problem for you.

[Perhaps due to system limitations, your private dark dimension can also be used in the Wizarding World.]

You could simply place these colossal weapons, born of war, within your own dark dimension.

[You'll become a walking, human-shaped natural disaster then.]

Livre led you into a private room. Looking at the crest unique to the Winterthorne family above it, you couldn't help but marvel at how much Livre was favored.

The auction began soon.

[You can sense the energy fluctuations of a level seven wizard in the auction hall; it seems this auction is indeed of a high caliber.]

As each item is sold at auction, you realize that wizards are always passionate about the transmission of knowledge.

Those treasures that you considered extremely valuable did not spark a looting frenzy.

[On the contrary, a seventh-tier wizard's inheritance at the auction sold for an astronomical price, which made you somewhat sigh.]

Wizards are indeed a race that pursues knowledge; all external means are merely for the purpose of more conveniently acquiring knowledge.

[Soon, the auction for those sixth-tier wizard weapons you desired began.]

You enthusiastically begin bidding.

[As a result, there were hardly any people competing with you at the auction.]

Only a few level six wizards tentatively made a few bids, but they quickly gave up after realizing you were raising the price.

[It wasn't until the final auction, when a device called the Negative Energy Conversion Furnace—which could serve as the energy core of a sixth-tier wizard tower—was auctioned off, that it attracted the interest of many wizards.]

But with your financial power, these people quickly succumbed.

Liviel asked worriedly if you were planning a wizarding expedition, otherwise you wouldn't need to buy so many large wizarding weapons.
