All eyes were on the unusual black staff, which was wrapped in white branches and a brightly shining purple crystal. Every mage wanted something like that, a weapon that could unleash their full potential.
However, there was one man in the room who would rather take a sip of wine than consider the staff.
"Looks like I needed to delay even longer... Did they decide to leave all the swords for the end?" Zayne muttered with a slight frown.
The auctioneer grinned widely at the interest of the crowd, then he waved his hand and exclaimed, "The starting price for this staff is 700 Gold Coins! The minimum bid is 100 Gold Coins!"
"800!"
"900!"
"1000!"
In less than ten seconds, the price managed to increase by more than a third. There weren't many mages in Red Feather City compared to knights or commoners, but every mage was a wealthy person.
