Chapter 246 Reward

Twenty-five days later.

In the alchemy hall, in a laboratory, Enzo stood on the alchemy table with a brown crystal in his palm, emitting a wave of magic power.

"Finally succeeded!"

Looking at the energy core of the witchcraft puppet in his palm, Enzo's face was excited. After nearly a month, the [Lava Giant] witchcraft puppet was finally completed.

"Unfortunately, there are only three days left before the blood battle."

Enzo clenched his palm, put away the earth vein crystal, and shook his head and said, "Otherwise, I can go to the spell experiment area to test the combat effectiveness of the [Lava Giant]."

Then, Enzo left the alchemy hall.

In the academy, because the deadline for the blood battle was approaching, the atmosphere seemed to be getting more and more tense. The apprentices around him were gloomy and hurried.

In his arms, the medal suddenly became hot.

"Someone sent me a message?" Enzo's heart moved, and he took out the medal from his arms. The information on it was a notice from the academy.

"Auction?"

Enzo frowned slightly. The academy just sent a notice that before the coordinate battle, that is, tonight, an auction for apprentices will be held on the third floor of the market hall.

The academy postponed the announcement of this auction until the coordinate battle was approaching, obviously intending to give the apprentices a chance to improve their strength.

According to this situation, there will be a lot of good things that may appear at the auction.

"Unfortunately, my magic stones have been used up."

Enzo shook his head helplessly. In order to leave himself a trump card, he invested all the magic stones in the witchcraft puppet, and now he is almost penniless.

"If I can buy one or two high-level magic items at the auction, my combat effectiveness will definitely be improved."

"But there are no magic stones. What should I do? Do I have to borrow from Gustav, the mentor?"

Enzo's eyes flickered and he stroked his chin.

"Forget it. The wizard world has always believed in the principle of equal exchange, and the mentor will not give me help unconditionally." He shook his head and said, "Anyway, I have the [Lava Giant] witchcraft puppet and the amulet that can block the attack of a second-level wizard, which is enough for me to face the danger of a bloody battle."

At this moment, a figure came from a distance.

"Enzo." Bourne waved his hand.

"What's wrong with your eyes?" Enzo walked over and frowned slightly.

A month ago, Bourne's appearance has changed again. There are traces of sutures on his forehead and face, and his left eye is covered by a black eye mask.

"This?" Bourne pointed to his left eye, turned over the black eye mask, revealing a metal eyeball with a flashing red dot, and said, "I just completed a transformation recently and installed a mechanical eye for myself."

Enzo shook his head in his heart, not knowing what to say.

Mechanical transformation can quickly improve strength, but replacing a large number of body organs will cause Bourne to drift away from the human form, and eventually even become a complete machine creature.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this."

Bourne waved his hand and said solemnly, "The battle for the coordinates is about to begin. You should have heard the news, right? What are your plans?"

"News, what news?" Enzo was stunned.

In the past month, he has been making witchcraft puppets in the alchemy laboratory and has paid little attention to the news from the outside world, so he has no idea what Bourne is talking about.

"What? You don't know yet!"

Bourne was a little surprised and said, "It's the bounty issued by the Kawarren family. Whoever can kill you in the battle for the coordinates can get 300 high-level magic stones!"

"The Kawarren family issued a bounty order for me?"

Enzo was shocked. 300 high-level magic stones, if converted into ordinary magic stones, would be 30,000, which is an astronomical figure for an apprentice.

"Yes, just ten days ago."

Bourne nodded and said in a deep voice: "The Kavoren family publicly announced that whoever can kill Gustav's disciple in the battle for the coordinates can gain the friendship of the Kavoren family and 300 high-level magic stones!"

In an instant, Enzo's face was gloomy.

He had heard his mentor mention the hatred between the Kavoren family and Gustav before, but he never thought that Kavoren would even offer a reward of 300 high-level magic stones to a little apprentice of his.

You know, this number would be exciting even for wizards, and even many first-level wizards need a hundred years to accumulate the wealth of 300 high-level magic stones.

"This is troublesome."

Enzo's face was ugly. The sky-high reward offered by the Kavoren family made him the target of public criticism. After the battle for the coordinates began, almost everyone would start a crazy hunt for him for the 300 high-level magic stones.

"I thought you knew about this a long time ago."

Bourne shook his head and said in a deep voice: "The battle for the coordinates will start in a secret place. Each participant will be randomly placed in different areas, so I can't help you. You can only rely on yourself to be careful."

After that, Bourne patted Enzo on the shoulder and turned away.

"It seems that I still need to improve my strength."

Enzo's face was solemn. According to the original plan, he only needed to rely on witchcraft puppets and defensive amulets to deal with the danger of blood battle.

However, now, the 300 high-level magic stone bounty has pushed him to the forefront. If he can't prepare some trump cards, he is likely to be killed.

"I hope that there will be items that can help me at tonight's auction!"

There are only three days left before the battle for coordinates. The only way to quickly improve his strength is to rely on equipment, so Enzo can only pin his hopes on tonight's auction.

Enzo thought for a while and walked towards the market hall.

Compared with a month ago, the first floor of the market hall was almost unchanged, except that there were more apprentices coming here to buy items.

"The battle for coordinates is about to begin. Everyone will convert the magic stones in their hands into combat power to deal with the next danger!"

Enzo shook his head and walked straight to the second floor.

He came to the innermost shop. The person in charge here was an old man with thin hair, who was leisurely lying on a wicker chair and reading a book.

"You have a customer? What do you want to sell?"

When the bald old man saw Enzo, he put away the book in his hand and asked slowly.

This shop is quite special. It does not sell anything, but only purchases items. The academy considered that some apprentices lacked magic stones, so it opened the exchange office before the coordinate battle.

Here, almost anything can be exchanged for magic stones, and the price won't be too outrageous.

"Can anything be sold?" Enzo asked.

"Yes, anything of value."

The bald old man nodded and said slowly, ": Demonic items, alchemy materials, magic potions... anything of value can be exchanged for magic stones."
