The Appraiser Guild sent out Gwen again who came down with a strange smile on her face. She wasted no time and inspected the five items carefully and methodically by using her strange eye technique once more.

Eventually, she turned to the crowd and simply nodded. Gwen understood that at this point she didn't need to say too much, merely affirm that Deia was speaking the truth, since the crowd wanted nothing more but to start bidding on these extravagant items.

More than a few had already become agitated and excited to purchase what was specifically useful to them, even if the Pandora's Box Auction House would have exaggerated the usefulness.

Goblins and Gnomes were ogling the Thunder Rock with passion, whereas the servants sent by the Mythical Beasts of Unyris were gazing at the Blood Stone seemingly afraid it could disappear the next second.

The Dwarves were staring at the High Steel as if it was their own child, the Mages were glaring at the Oricalchum with fervor and the evil powers among the crowd watched the Symbiotic Paste with interest.

Seeing that the crowd was raring to go, Deia chuckled sensually. "The High Steel will be sold in batches of 10 ingots. Each batch has a starting price of 5,000 Supreme Coins and the minimum increment is 20 Supreme Coins. Bidding, Start!"

Many were not bothered by the high price. After all, those who had their eyes on it were the Dwarves, master miners, and blacksmiths. A race like theirs didn't lack money, and in fact, they were so filthy rich that they had literally built a city underground out of gold!

Soon, the 10 batches were sold off for 10220, 10240, 10160, 10100, 9980, 9940, 10020, 9860, 10340, and 11020 Supreme Coins.

"Next, Oricalchum, every Mage's beloved ore! It will be sold in batches of 50, with a starting price of 10,000 Supreme Coins, and a minimum increase of 100 Supreme Coins at the minimum. Bidding, start!"

If one were to talk about the buying power of Dwarves, one should not doubt Mages either. Magic was a money-intensive craft the lower you were. On the flipside, the higher you were, the more income flowed into your hands with ease.

As such, the 10 batches were sold at 19100, 19300, 19700, 18900, 18500, 18100, 17800, 17600, 20500, and 22000 Supreme Coins.

"The next batch, the Blood Stone, will be sold in batches of 10! The minimum price for each is 20,000 Supreme Coins and the minimum increment is 200 Supreme Coins per bid! Bidding, Start!"

Heh, they were beasts from Unyris, the continent that was universally hailed as the richest on Faust. However, the beasts that inhabited it had little need for the best natural and primal resource in the world, so they sold it to others for money.

Upon their arrival they had traded these great resources for Supreme Coins, even causing the system to overload for a brief moment.

That alone should tell how much they had traded!

In fact, one didn't need to go so far. Just some blood, scales, or essence from the mythical beasts' bodies themselves would sell for a lot, much less what had they come with.

As such, was it surprising that the final sale results were 45800, 49600, 44400, 46200, 56800, 55400, 59000, 61200, 66600, and 70000 Supreme Coins?

Many powers were shaking after seeing the craziness of the beasts. The auction for batches this time did not follow conventional auction rules where the early bids would set the bar, the middle bids would drop and the final bids would spike.

It had just kept shooting up because the item was too useful to the beasts, one batch less was a batch lost! Who had time to hold back in terms of funds in this case?

"The next batch will be for the Symbiotic Paste. We'll be selling them by the tonne. The starting price is 4,000 Supreme Coins and the minimum increase is 15 Supreme Coins! Bidding, start!"

After Deia's call, the bidding began straightaway. The Symbiotic Paste was special, but one needs far more quantity than this to make anything meaningful, and it wasn't as valuable as those that came before as it was a mere adhesive.

Also, those who wanted it were wealthy, but not as much as the previous category of bidders, so the price increase paled in comparison.

The final sales were 4575, 4645, 4460, 4390, 4215, 4200, 4115, 4030, 4990 and 5015 Supreme Coins.

"Next is the final batch for this round, the Thunder Rock. It will be sold in batches of 10, and the starting price is 7,000 Supreme Coins! The minimum increase per bid is set at 25 Supreme Coins, so let the bidding begin!"

This stage belonged to the Goblins and Gnomes, the best inventors and engineers of the Fallon Continent, as well as those from Gravitas who had some uses for this. Despite their general hostility towards the city for using their tech, they would still secure what they needed if it presented itself.

Since both parties were not lacking, the final bids were appreciable. They were 7825, 7875, 7650, 7700, 7675, 7625, 7600, 7550, 7900 and 8025 Supreme Coins.

This brought an end to the fourth stage, paving the way for the final one which everyone had been looking forward to. Various powerhouses sat up in their seats while those who had fallen half-asleep due to a lack of interest woke up.

Everyone was energized and galvanized, creating an atmosphere of the calm before a storm. Deia beckoned to a Guard Android, which brought out the final tray containing 5 items as usual.

When eyes fell on the five, the reaction was an even larger burst of fervor. The heat in the auction house rose, yet there was also a slight chill wafting around.

Deia smiled evilly when she saw this and spoke.

"With this, we have reached the five final items of today's auction. They are the best things we have to offer and undoubtedly the primary reason all of you have come here."

"Don't worry if you don't manage to win today. We will surely put them on sale in our shops after the auction. However, their retail prices will be based on the highest auction price today… and then tripled!"
