Chapter 240 Infernal Shadeblade
"If that's still not enough, you can come here and be our Vice President. You can even form your own elite team and maintain your independence. How about that?" Eric added.
Echoes of Dusk giving up a future Tier 6 god-level powerhouse was akin to cutting off their own arms.
The reason it was like losing both arms was that without Rosewater, his Tier 6 god-level friend wouldn't join Echoes of Dusk either. This meant Echoes of Dusk lost two future god-level powerhouses.
And all of this was caused by Eric, albeit unintentionally, but Echoes of Dusk was the one who suffered.
If he could bring Rosewater into the guild, Eric was very optimistic about the guild's future.
"Even if I agreed with you, I still have a group of subordinates. They are all in Storm Empire. Even if I could afford the high teleportation fees, they can't. They left the promising Echoes of Dusk for me, so I have to give them an explanation. I'm really sorry." Although Eric's offer was tempting, Rosewater wouldn't abandon his subordinates.
"Are there many of them?" Eric asked.
"About a hundred or so. Blackflame, you should give up. Even Echoes of Dusk can't afford these teleportation fees." Rosewater understood why Eric was asking.
The cost for one person to teleport across countries was very high, let alone across multiple countries. Roughly estimated, it would cost two to three gold coins per person. For over a hundred people, that would be two to three hundred gold coins.
So many gold coins, not even ten top-tier guilds could afford it.
Eric couldn't possibly have that many gold coins.
"A hundred or so, that's not too many." Eric breathed a sigh of relief, thinking it could have been a thousand people. If that were the case, he would have been heartbroken. "Then you all come to Eldoria. I'll cover the teleportation fees."
He had earned so much from Echoes of Dusk before, and now it was time to return it to Rosewater. This was truly a twist of fate. If EchoofGlory knew, he might cough up blood.
"Blackflame, that's two to three hundred gold coins, not two to three gold." Rosewater couldn't help but remind him.
"Yes, I know. I'll send you the three hundred gold coins soon. When you arrive in Silvervale City, just come to StellarTrails Emporium to find me." Eric hung up the call after saying this because the Shadowwing Auction House had already started.
On the other side, Rosewater was shocked.
"What kind of power is behind Blackflame? How can they have such astonishing financial resources? Three hundred gold coins, just like that. Could it be one of those super guilds?" Rosewater heard Eric say it so casually, as if three hundred gold coins were just two to three gold coins. Then Rosewater shook his head. "No, even those super guilds couldn't easily come up with three hundred gold coins."
"Interesting. But I'll know all the answers once I get to Silvervale City." Rosewater smiled slightly, feeling a bit of anticipation.
At the Shadowwing Auction House, the venue was already packed with players, most of whom were high-ranking members of various guilds.
These guilds had gone all out to accumulate gold coins for today.
Because they had heard that even in the regular auction area, there would be many amazing items, such as Adamantite Equipment, materials for crafting Obsidian Level gear, and possibly even Obsidian Weapons and the legendary Epic Level items, as long as they had enough gold coins.
After a few warm-up auctions, the atmosphere in the venue was already heated.
Because every item up for auction was something players wanted, but Eric wasn't very interested. The items being sold were all Dark Iron level, which was great for elite guild players but not very useful for Eric.
The next item caught everyone's eye, and they all showed great interest.
It was an Adamantite dagger.
Frostbite Spike, Dagger, Adamantite Level, Equipment Level 15, Attack +134, Strength +18, Agility +24, Stamina +15, with passive skill Frostbite Force, which deals 50% ice damage to the target and reduces the target's movement speed and attack speed by 50% for 4 seconds.
If an Assassin wields this, it would be like adding wings to a tiger. Even if they can't take down the enemy in one hit, the slow effect allows them to use other combos to finish the enemy off.
In addition to the Frostbite Spike, there is also a Blaze Dagger, also Adamantite Level, Equipment Level 15, but with the skill Scorching Might, which deals 50% fire damage to the target and reduces the target's defense by 10%, stacking up to 5 times, lasting for 20 seconds.
The appearance of these two daggers excited all the Assassins, who couldn't wait to get their hands on them.
Whether it's the slow effect or the Armor Sunder effect, combined with the 50% magic damage, these are exactly what Assassins need. These two daggers are currently the best weapons for Assassins, bar none.
However, the starting price of these daggers made many players sigh in despair.
5 gold coins, and that's just the starting price. Each bid increment must be at least 10 silver coins. If the bidding gets intense, the price will rise significantly. For a major guild to buy these daggers, they would have no competitive edge for the rest of the auction items.
Unless there's a special need, generally, no one would buy both daggers in one go.
"Not bad, these are indeed top-tier weapons for a level 15 Assassin. I'll buy them for FlameDancer." Eric looked at the attributes and was very satisfied.
"Awesome, heaven hasn't abandoned me. This is the ice and fire combo that Assassins have always dreamed of. If I present this to the guild leader, he will be very pleased and might reconsider my punishment." ScribeCharm, sitting in the front row of the auction, looked at the Frostbite Spike and Blaze Dagger, his small eyes narrowing into slits with a red gleam. If this weren't an auction with level 200 guards, he might have already rushed up.
When the auctioneer announced the start of the bidding, the entire venue erupted.
"I bid 5 gold."
"5 gold 50 silver."
"6 gold!"
In less than a minute, the price for the daggers reached 7 gold 20 silver. Most guilds gave up at this price.
"Hahaha, let them fight. Do they think they can outbid me?" ScribeCharm was full of confidence. He wasn't afraid of anyone outbidding him. The auction had just started, and no one could guarantee what would come next, so everyone would hold back. He wasn't afraid of anyone daring to compete with him.
Seeing no one else bidding, Eric finally spoke, "10 gold."
The room fell silent. Although these daggers were top-tier weapons for Assassins, the price was too high. It wasn't that the daggers weren't worth it, but few could afford it. They didn't have that much gold. If it were credit points, even 500,000 credit points would have many people scrambling to buy.
"Black Flame, damn it, it's him competing with me. How does he have so much money?" ScribeCharm was going crazy. If he bid higher, he wouldn't have any money left for the rest of the auction items. But if he didn't buy them, his future was bleak.
In the end, ScribeCharm shouted, "10 gold 20 silver!"
Eric just smiled and casually said, "12 gold."
"12 gold 10 silver!" ScribeCharm clutched his chest, shouting in frustration. He wanted to eat Eric alive for making him spend so much money.
"How annoying, 20 gold." Eric didn't want to waste time with ScribeCharm and directly raised the price significantly. He didn't care about the money because he had made a fortune from Echoes of Dusk today.
"Black Flame!" ScribeCharm glared at Eric with despair in his eyes. He only had 18 gold and couldn't compete. He never expected that in the end, it was Black Flame, whom he had always looked down on, who delivered the final blow, plunging him into the depths of despair.
But Eric didn't bother with him, not even glancing his way. His attention was already on the next auction item.
Infernal Shadeblade!
This was one of the three rare items in this auction.
