The auction quickly continued with the eleventh Evergreen Seed, as if the Fat Elf from before didn't exist.

At this moment, inside the room where Leo and the others were at, all of them were laughing at what had happened to the Fat Elf.

Fortunately, there was a sound-canceling Magic array installed in the rooms as well, allowing them to laugh as loud as possible without being heard by the people outside once they activate it.

Knock! Knock! Knock!

Their laughter was quickly interrupted by a sudden knock on their door.

"Come in," Leo said.

The door of their room slowly opened as the male Elf receptionist that brought the Fat Elf away walked inside. He soon put his hand forward, presenting to Leo and the others the tenth Evergreen Seed that the Fat Elf has supposedly won.

"Madam Flores informed me to give this to you as compensation for that Fat Elf causing you some trouble. She hopes that this would be enough for you to continue your patronage in the Elves Secret organization," The male Elf receptionist said.

"Tell Madam Flores that I'm thankful for this," Leo accepted the tenth Evergreen Seed. Then suddenly, he took out a Storage Ring and gave it to the male Elf receptionist before saying, "Inside this Storage Ring is a carcass of two Beast Lords. Tell Madam Flores that I am interested in selling these two items for your auction,"

Hearing Leo's words, the male Elf receptionist was immediately astonished. He quickly calmed himself down and accepted the Storage Ring before saying, "Consider it as done,"

"Then I'll leave it all to the Elves Secret organization to handle," Leo said with a mischievous smile on his face. He has long been searching for people to sell the carcass of both the Beast Lord Sandpit Worm and the Sandstone Lord Spider. Although finding a buyer is actually considered an easy task, because a lot of merchants would certainly become interested in buying the carcasses of a Beast Lord due to it having so many uses, but normally they would only offer him the market price or a bit more for such an item as they would want to have the most profit out of the entire trade.

He really doesn't like that because he wanted to earn an equal amount of profit considering how much effort is needed for them to slay those two Beast Lord.

Fortunately, he stumbled upon the auction of the Elves Secret organization today, because it is only through auctions where he would definitely be able to earn the amount he required for the carcasses of those two Beast Lords.

The moment the male Elf receptionist left, the auction for the Evergreen Seed was finally over. The eleventh Evergreen Seed was sold for 3,500 gold coins, while the twelfth was sold for 4,000 gold coins. The price reached such a high value due to the fact that the majority of the people that were interested in buying an Evergreen Seed weren't able to buy any due to Leo. This was also one of the reasons why Madam Flores decided to gift Leo the tenth Evergreen Seed, it was to thank him for allowing them to earn such a high-profit margin for the Evergreen Seed.

After the Evergreen Seed, the next item was soon presented forward. It was a Magic Armguard that was sold for 12,500 gold coins.

Next was another Magic equipment which was sold for 15,000 gold coins.

Then came next was a Magic Sword, which was sold for 10,000 gold coins.

Followed after by many more different auction items that Leo doesn't really find any value with.

The only item that he was a bit interested in was the Magic Sword, but remembering that Ethan already has the Moon Sword that was given to him by his mother, Madam Triana, and that it's still considered very early for Cassandra and the others to get a Magic weapon for themselves, he decided to forget about such a thought.

Finally, the auction came to the ten main auction items for today.

"Ladies and gentlemen, may I present to all of you, the 10th main auction item for today," Madam Flores said as she pulled the Magic Quilt covering two huge square objects.

As soon as the Magic Quilt was removed, what appeared for everyone to see was a group made up of 10 people, each from two different kinds of Elf races locked inside two cages. One has sky-blue colored hair and white skin and the other has dark-colored hair and pale white-colored skin.

"The one on my left is called an Ice Elf and the one on my right is called a Night Elf. They are both one of the high-grade kinds of the Elf race. The Ice Elf race has a high affinity with both Wind and Ice Element, while the Night Elf race has a high affinity with Light and Dark Element. There is no need for any more introduction as I know that all of you here have done your thorough research about these two," Madam Flores said with a wide smile on her face. She pointed her hand to the cage of the Ice Elf race and continued, "We will not be selling them as an individual, but rather as a whole group. The starting bid is, 10,000 gold coins!"

As soon as Madam Flores' voice faded away, the venue immediately became boisterous with the bidding.

"10,000!"

"50,000!"

"100,000!"

"..."

The bidding quickly reached from five-digit number to six-digit number in just a matter of three biddings. It continued to rise higher and higher, eventually reaching 200,000 gold coins, and is on the way to reach 300,000 gold coins.

Meanwhile, inside the room, Leo was contemplating hard on whether to join in the bidding to win the Ice Elf or not.

He has already learned a considerable amount of knowledge about the Ice Elf race from the others. They don't only have a high affinity to both the Wind and Ice Element, but they are also one of the strongest Elf races, second only to the High Elf. In fact, the Ice Elf race was actually the descendants of the Artic Elf race, one of the High Elf races in the Celestial World.

If he can get his hands on them, it would surely raise the strength of the Mischievous Lion Guild by a lot.

The only problem is, are they really worth the price? After all, each and every person is different. Despite the Ice Elf race being known to be powerful, he can never really assure that they are all strong. There still exists a chance, even if it's considered small, of him buying an Ice Elf race who is weak, which is really not worth the price.

Not to mention, he was also interested in buying the Night Elf race as well. Therefore, he really needs to balance out his spending between the two Elf races.

Although he still has nearly 5 million gold coins inside his Storage Rings, he has seen very clearly at this moment that such an amount of money is far from being enough. He needs more, especially since he's the Guild Leader of the Mischievous Lion Guild.

"I hope that this would be worth it," Leo thought inwardly as he finally decided to win the bidding for the Ice Elf race.

"550,000 gold coins, going once, going twice, so-"

"600,000 gold coins!"

This time, it was Leo himself who yelled the price.

As soon as the bid was blurted out, the people in the venue immediately started conversing with themselves.

"Damn, it's that room again!"

"Just how rich is that person to even outbid the VIPs of the Elves Secret organization?!"

"We are really fortunate that we didn't dare offend them before,"

"..."

Inside the VIP room of the person who bid the 550,000 gold coins, a powerful Muscular Orc could be seen with a dark expression on his face.

One could easily see that this Muscular Orc wasn't happy with Leo outbidding his bid.

The main reason was because the Muscular Orc fancied the only female Ice Elf inside that cage of Ice Elves. It was a very beautiful female Ice Elf woman, with an appearance that is comparable to both Princesses of the Emerald Tree Kingdom. He believes that if he can have that woman, it would be the same as having one of the Princesses of the Evergreen royal family.

Unfortunately, the Muscular Orc's wish was going to become impossible due to Leo.

As angry as he was, the Muscular Orc wasn't an unreasonable person, thus he said loudly, "My name is Orcborg, a 9 Star Orc Mage and the Guild Leader of the level 2 Silver rank Red Fist Guild of the Emerald Tree Kingdom. May I interest you with a profitable proposition?"

Hearing the words of the Orc named Orcborg, Leo became intrigued as he replied, "I am Mister Loki, the Guild Leader of the Mischievous Lion Guild in the Emerald Tree Kingdom. Please, continue speaking,"

Everyone immediately became shocked after knowing the identity of the two voices.

Orcborg wasn't only a 9 Star Orc Mage and the Guild Leader of the Red Fist Guild. He was also responsible for many astonishing feats that have long spread throughout the entire Emerald Tree Kingdom. Not only that, amongst all of the people in the Emerald Tree Kingdom that has a cultivation of 9 Star level, he is one of the top 10.

On the other hand, although Mister Loki wasn't known by a lot of people, those that knew a bit of his information in the venue right now quickly informed the others that the Mischievous Lion Guild has a member with a Galaxy level cultivation and a 9 Star level cultivation within them. With such an introduction, it made everyone quickly understood that this person is even more powerful than Orcborg.

With the two people's presence here, the venue immediately quiets down to show them some respect and face, including Madam Flores who was a bit surprised after knowing that the person who offered her to sell the two carcasses of a Beast Lord was actually the Guild Leader of the newly rising in popularity Guild called Mischievous Lion Guild.
