I am the Arcane Archer, and all my skills are self-created.

Donghua Pavilion, Xizhen Pavilion, and Nanfeng Pavilion.

The three most prominent and busiest gold counters on the first floor of Qianjin Pavilion, along with the remaining 20 regular counters, were all booked by the guild 【Sword and Rose】 in less than half an hour!

This result surprised everyone.

People in the hall whispered among themselves, their gazes toward the sword pointing at the rose filled with awe, incomprehension, and even fear.

Six hundred and sixty gold coins!

This is no small sum; even for a super guild, it would be a significant blow.

But this woman, for the right to use these counters for a year, smashed them without batting an eye.

What exactly does she want to do?

Could it be that the [Sword and Rose] guild has so many casual players that they could fill all three gold counters plus the previous twenty standard counters? That's impossible!

Everyone was puzzled, but they all understood one thing.

From today onwards, the newly opened Qianjin Pavilion will be backed by [Sword and Rose].

If you want to touch Qianjin Pavilion, you have to ask Jianzhi Qiangwei if she agrees first.

Iron Banner's face was extremely pale. He felt like a clown, being repeatedly humiliated and beaten to a pulp. He clenched his fists tightly, remaining silent, his chest heaving violently.

Feng Yun Jiu Tian stood to the side, his eyes extremely gloomy.

He looked at the composed sword-wielding rose, then glanced up at the blurry figure on the third floor, his killing intent and greed almost uncontrollable.

One was looking at flowers through the fog, the other was pointing a sword at a rose... These two actually formed an alliance in front of all the factions in Ironforge?

good very good!

Lin Hai stood on the auction stage, his heart also filled with turbulent emotions.

He never dreamed that the auction would be conducted in this way.

Sword Pointing at Rose's powerful intervention not only helped them get rid of that rogue Blood Wolf War Soul, but also directly elevated the status of Thousand Gold Pavilion to an unprecedented height.

This favor is immense!

He took a deep breath, desperately suppressing his excitement, and slammed the auction gavel down heavily.

when!

The noise instantly silenced the hall.

"Distinguished guests, the auction of the three gold counters has concluded. I hereby announce the conclusion of this auction for the rental of Qianjin Pavilion counters..."

Lin Hai deliberately dragged out his words, looked around the room, and saw that many people had expressions of lingering enjoyment on their faces.

He smiled slightly and then changed the subject.

"...The first half has come to a successful conclusion!"

First half?

Everyone was stunned by these words.

What does that mean? Is there a second half? Aren't all the items sold out?

Li Wu and Hua Zitong exchanged a glance, both seeing a hint of a smile in each other's eyes.

They knew the real show was about to begin.

"I know everyone must be wondering, now that all the scenes at the counter have been filmed, what else does Qianjin Pavilion have to offer as the grand finale?"

Lin Hai's voice rang out again, successfully piquing everyone's curiosity.

He clapped his hands, and soon a well-dressed female NPC waiter carrying a tray covered with a red velvet cloth walked onto the auction stage.

Everyone's eyes were instantly drawn to the tray.

What exactly is under that red cloth?

Is it rare equipment? Or some precious material?

Lin Hai walked to the tray, a mysterious yet confident smile on his face.

"Before revealing the answer, I'd like to show you something."

As he spoke, he gestured, and a figure projection appeared on the wall behind the auction stage, with flashing lights.

It was a warrior dressed in dark gold full plate armor, wielding a giant shield, exuding an aura of indestructibility.

It's the steel shield!

Immediately afterwards, the detailed attributes of this set of equipment appeared next to the projection.

【Soulforger Set】(Rare)

[Soulforger Helmet]

[Soulforger's Breastplate]

Soulforger's Gauntlets

……

[Set Bonus (3/3): Soul Forging Protection. Upon activation, establish a soul link with up to four allies within a 30-meter radius for 30 seconds. During the link, all allies take 20% less damage, and you will share an additional 30% of the damage they take. Cooldown: 10 minutes.]

When the terrifying set bonuses, especially the final Soul Forging Protection effect which can be described as a divine skill, were clearly displayed to everyone.

The entire auction hall fell into a deathly silence.

You could hear a pin drop.

Everyone stared intently at the projection on the wall, their breathing becoming rapid.

"I...I'm not seeing things, am I? A rare...rare set?!"

"A level 30 rare set! A three-piece set! These stats are insane!"

"That set skill... group damage reduction and damage sharing? Is this even human? This is practically a mobile fortress!"

"With this gear, the tank class's survivability will increase by a whole level! Think of how much more forgiving it is for clearing dungeons!"

After a moment of deathly silence, the entire hall erupted in uproar!

Everyone's gone mad!

Even the usually composed Sword Pointing Rose's pupils constricted sharply when she saw the set's attributes.

Iron Blood Banner stood up abruptly from his chair, his eyes bloodshot as he stared intently at the equipment, his greed undisguised.

This set of equipment is incredibly valuable!

It's enough to change the landscape of a top-tier guild's raiding team!

"Quiet! Please be quiet!"

Lin Hai shouted several times before he could barely control the situation.

Looking at the fervent gazes of the crowd below, he felt extremely smug.

This is exactly the effect he wanted!

"I know everyone is excited because the power of this [Soulforger Set] is undeniable!"

"So, our final and most anticipated item for today's auction is this!"

Lin Hai suddenly lifted the red cloth on the tray, revealing what was inside.

It was the actual dark gold [Soulforger Set]!

Upon seeing the actual product, the atmosphere in the audience became even more heated.

However, just when everyone thought the auction was about to begin and was getting ready to participate, some observant people frowned.

Not right.

This set of equipment is top-notch, but it's only one set. Is it worthy of being the grand finale of today's event?

You should know that those present today are among the wealthiest people in Ironforge.

Even a rare set of equipment can only be obtained by one person in the end.

Is it a bit of an overreaction to create such a big atmosphere just for a set of equipment?

Even the sword pointing at the rose frowned slightly.

She always felt that things weren't that simple.

"I know everyone's probably thinking, how can a mere set of equipment be considered the grand finale?"

Lin Hai seemed to see through everyone's thoughts and said with a smile.

"What if I told everyone that what we're auctioning off today isn't this set of equipment?"

These words stunned the entire audience once again.

Not this one? Then what is it?

Everyone was confused by Lin Hai.

Lin Hai took a deep breath, a bright smile spreading across his face, and pointed to the equipment on the stage, loudly announcing:

"This isn't the equipment we're auctioning off today!"

"But... it's the priority purchase qualification for a full ten sets of the [Soul Forger Set] that were just released after the opening of Qianjin Pavilion!"

boom--!

The commotion just now was nothing compared to what happened next; this time, the entire auction hall was completely out of control!

Everyone's mind went completely blank for a moment!

Ten...ten sets?!

They didn't hear wrong, did they?!

Ten sets of the [Soulforger Set]?!

How is this possible?!
