The auction proceeded normally without any problem. Nobody dared to cause problems in the place for fear of the Marsh Group.

The only things that happened were people trying to inflate prices for rivals. Many were extremely irritated by this event, but none of them dared to do anything reckless at the auction. These offenses will be resolved on the outside.

The next items sold at the auction were some more equipment such as swords and pieces of armor. These items had a major dispute because most were interested in these items, even people in the VIP rooms.

After four items were sold, the item that Maev was waiting for finally appeared, the Crystal Energy Barrier.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the information on the Crystal Energy Barrier"

Crystal Energy Barrier - A device that creates a powerful energy barrier around a given area. When the device runs out of power, the device needs to be powered up again with the compatible crystals. The larger the area, the greater the amount of energy used.

Minimum Area: 1 Square Meter

Maximum Area: 50 Square Meters

The Crystal Energy Barrier was a device that creates a barrier using the energy from the crystals mined in the mine. Whenever the power goes out, the device needs to be recharged again using energy crystals with types of energy compatible with the device.

"This item is good, but the area of ​​the barrier is very small. My dog's house is bigger than the area of ​​this barrier. I'll have to pass that item on" Someone commented.

"Only fifty square meters? This is very small. Didn't the Marsh Group have a bigger barrier?" Another complained.

"Is the Marsh Group kidding us? You should have auctioned a bigger barrier"



Resentful comments echo through the auditorium. Customers wanted a bigger barrier to protect their homes and territories, not their pet houses.

Barriers to protect small areas they already had, what is missing are bigger barriers.

Even VIP customers who were interested in buying the barrier were upset and discouraged. They thought the barrier was bigger, but that was not the case.

The auction flyer only spoke the name of the items and had no extra information. Thus, everyone could only imagine the items.

But the reality was very different.

The Marsh Group would not sell a powerful barrier in a place like this, they would sell in the Neutral Zone, where there are more wealthy and powerful people than a city like this.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we, the Marsh Group, apologize if you are a little resentful of our item, but it is what we have available at the moment. If you want a bigger and more powerful barrier, you have to go to the Neutral Zone. Three months from now, the Marsh Group's auction house in one of the cities in the Neutral Zone will auction off several rare and powerful items, among which there is an extremely powerful barrier" Talbot explained why the barrier is so small.

The Marsh Group will hold another auction in another city. To attract more customers, Talbot advertised this new auction.

"Auctioneer, how big is this other barrier?" Someone asked.

That is the question that everyone had in mind.

"Dear customers, the barrier auctioned at the next auction is about five hundred square meters in size." Talbot's words cheered everyone on the scene.

Five hundred square meters is ten times the size of the barrier currently auctioned.

As noble families had branches in the other two cities in the Neutral Zone, they would send people there along with crystals to increase their chances of purchase.

As for the barrier currently sold, only a few people were interested in buying. But it depended on the price.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the starting price of the item is ten thousand crystals from the creatures or four hundred and fifty crystals from the mine. With each bid, a thousand creature crystals must be added or thirty crystals from the mine." Talbot announced the prices.

"Ten thousand creature crystals through a fifty square meter barrier ?? If the Marsh Group wants to rob us, at least have the decency to warn us first" Someone complained.

"I didn't know that the Marsh Group was so greedy up to that point. This is clearly a robber!!"

"A barrier of this size is only worth about seven thousand to eight thousand crystals."



Customers were annoyed to hear the price of the barrier. They were thinking this is a big rip off.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I know that the price is a little higher than normal, but you need to understand that this barrier is rechargeable to be used many times. Unlike conventional barriers that can only be used once" Talbot tries to justify the high value of the barrier.

The common barriers used by travelers from level 51 areas are for single-use, that is, the barrier can only be used once.

Fortunately, refillable barriers have been created. These types of barriers were special and very expensive, as they can be used several times before breaking.

Unlike ordinary barriers, when a rechargeable barrier is almost broken by attacks by some creature, the owner of the barrier can inject energy to strengthen the barrier. This is one of the great benefits of rechargeable barriers.

"Even if this is a rechargeable barrier, its price would not be ten thousand crystals of creatures. The minimum would be eight thousand to nine thousand." Someone commented on Talbot's words.

"Ladies and gentlemen, that old man is just an auctioneer. Prices are decided by the auction house. I apologize for that. "Talbot was blaming the auction house, as they choose prices.

"..." No one commented on Talbot's words, because he was right. But no one dared to criticize the Marsh Group or the auction house anymore.

While everyone was thinking about whether or not to buy the barrier, Liu Yang, Aruna and Maev were talking about it.

"Maev, are you going to buy this barrier, or are you going to wait until the auction in the Neutral Zone's city?" Liu Yang knows that her mission is to buy a barrier device within the auction. But he doesn't know which of those devices she has to buy.

"This is the barrier I am looking for. My mission is to buy a barrier bigger than fifteen square meters and smaller than a hundred square meters" Maev replied.

As if the auction was selling a fifty square meter barrier. This was within the scope of her mission.

"I see…"

"Garett, how much should I spend to buy this barrier? We still need to save crystals to buy Aruna's chariot. The chariot is much more expensive than the barrier device "

"According to the conversations, this barrier is worth at least eight or nine thousand crystals. So paying a maximum of eleven thousand is good, even twelve thousand is also good. But if we spend that amount, we will only have a few crystals left" Liu Yang calculated how many crystals they would have after this purchase.
