'Will she bid again?'
'Or was her only target the Kronos Plane?'
The auctioneer took a deep breath, calming his emotions.
'No matter. There will be other opportunities.'
He adjusted his bow tie and made his voice boom even louder.
"Esteemed guests, next up is our second item for today—"
He paused, a mysterious smile gracing his face.
"From the 'Elemental Forge'—the licensing rights for Planar Elemental Extraction Technology!"
A wave of discussion washed over the venue.
The "Elemental Forge" was the core organization of the Moldable Energy School.
They excelled at extracting pure Elemental Energy from elemental planes for refining, research, and even direct infusion to enhance a Wizard's power.
"This technology can extract a plane's core energy and condense it into elemental crystals."
The auctioneer's voice held a trace of excitement.
"A single thumb-sized elemental crystal contains enough energy for a Third-Level Wizard to use Casting at full power for an entire month!"
