"Ahem, everyone, this auction has now come to a conclusion. As for the timing of the next large-scale auction, please wait for further notice. However, taking advantage of this auction, our Mittel Clan also has a piece of good news we would like to share with everyone."
"Regarding this point, I already mentioned it briefly just before the final auction of the Rank 7 magic core."
After delivering that Rank 7 magic core into the hands of Fa Ma, the President of the Alchemist Association in VIP Booth No. 3 on the second floor, Mittel Tengshan first feigned a couple of coughs to draw everyone's attention before slowly speaking.
Actually, regarding that piece of information, the Mittel Clan had also considered whether or not they should make it public. After all, if they didn't make it public, their Mittel Clan could enjoy this secret exclusively.
However, an unexpected event that occurred some time ago forced the Mittel Clan to choose to make this secret public. Otherwise, relying solely on the Mittel Clan, they were no longer sufficient to swallow the benefits brought by that secret alone.
Ultimately, it was the current Clan Leader of the Mittel Clan, the Dou Huang Hai Bodong, who decided to make this secret public. Because this way, at the very least, the Mittel Clan could still get a bite of the meat; otherwise, they probably wouldn't even be able to drink the soup!
"What secret is it exactly? Why is your Mittel Clan acting so secretive about it?"
"Yeah, at this point, why bother acting mysterious?"
"It couldn't be that there's some danger and you want us to go be cannon fodder, right?"
"That shouldn't be the case, the Mittel Clan's reputation is still quite good."
"Then do you think it's a good thing or a bad thing?"
"Hard to say, I'm not in a position to judge."
"Then let's wait for the Mittel Clan to announce it before discussing further."
"True."
At this moment, within the auction hall, all sorts of discussions had already broken out. Clearly, because Mittel Tengshan had said earlier that the Rank 7 magic core was related to the information he was about to announce, everyone's hearts were now itching with curiosity.
Seeing this, Xiao Lin remained as calm as ever. Meanwhile, most of the others in the various VIP booths on the second floor also remained composed, not showing anxious expressions like those in the auction hall below.
Seeing that everyone's emotions had been stirred up by him, Mittel Tengshan no longer continued his silence.
"Everyone, I believe you are all very curious about how our Mittel Clan managed to obtain a Rank 7 magic core, right? This is related to what I am about to announce. This is a secret that our Mittel Clan has already held for several years!"
"You should also know that our Mittel Clan's Clan Leader, Hai Bodong, has already become a Dou Huang, right? But do you know? The reason the Clan Leader was able to achieve Dou Huang, and the reason our Mittel Clan could obtain this Rank 7 magic core, are both related to this secret we hold."
"Originally, we were not prepared to announce this secret, but some accidents occurred recently, making it so our Mittel Clan can no longer hold this secret alone; it requires the joint efforts of everyone in the Jia Ma Empire."
"Speaking to this point, I believe many friends should have already guessed it, right? That's right, our Mittel Clan holds information regarding a Secret Realm!"
Amidst his eloquent speech, Mittel Tengshan finally reached the crux of the matter.
When the term "Secret Realm" appeared, the crowd on the scene instantly fell into an uproar. As everyone knew, although Secret Realms were accompanied by various risks, they often allowed people to obtain massive benefits!
Just hearing what Mittel Tengshan said earlier, it wasn't hard for everyone to imagine that the reason Hai Bodong could break through to Dou Huang, and why they could take out a Rank 7 magic core for auction this time, were all related to the Secret Realm held by the Mittel Clan.
The benefits the Mittel Clan obtained from this Secret Realm were essentially displayed right before everyone's eyes. This also caused the breathing of the people on the scene to instantly become heavy.
The reason the Mittel Clan brought out this Rank 7 magic core for auction this time was nothing more than to pique others' interest in the Secret Realm. However, while some were captivated, a portion of people still remained clear-headed.
"Following that logic, your Mittel Clan should have been able to continue holding this Secret Realm exclusively. Why choose to make it public at this time? Is there some trickery involved?"
The one who spoke up to question was the guardian of the Jia Ma Imperial Family, Jia Xingtian. As a Dou Huang powerhouse, he could still maintain his true heart in the face of this bit of temptation.
At the same time, following Jia Xingtian's questioning, those on the scene who had gradually lost their cool also slowly recovered.
Yeah, for such a Secret Realm that could provide endless benefits, why would the Mittel Clan not choose to hold it exclusively, but instead make it public? If this were replaced with them, would they do that?
Clearly, including Xiao Lin, the answer in everyone's hearts was a negative one. Who would be so bored as to have a Secret Realm they could hold exclusively, yet choose to share it with others? Unless their brains were fried!
Did the Mittel Clan look like a group of people with fried brains? As merchants, they were definitely shrewder than over ninety percent of the people on the scene!
This kind of thing, giving away a Secret Realm they held to others for nothing, they wouldn't be able to do it even if they all suffered from senile dementia!
Obviously, there was a problem here!
This was the consensus in everyone's hearts at this moment.
Seeing that everyone at the auction site revealed suspicious looks, each guessing that their Mittel Clan might have ill intentions, Mittel Tengshan couldn't help but let out a bitter smile. Their Mittel Clan indeed didn't want to make this secret public, but weren't they forced into it!
"I know everyone has many doubts in their hearts right now, wondering why our Mittel Clan would make this secret public. Now, I can tell you all."
Speaking to this point, Mittel Tengshan paused for a moment and then took a deep breath.
This was their helpless choice!
Amidst the quiet waiting of everyone at the auction site, Mittel Tengshan spoke once more.
"Originally, this Secret Realm was indeed held exclusively by our Mittel Clan, but an accident happened a while ago—that is, a Rank 7 magic beast discovered the existence of that Secret Realm. Then, that Rank 7 magic beast chose to force its way into the Secret Realm."
"The resulting consequence was that the grand formation surrounding that Secret Realm was damaged, and its aura leaked out. That leaked aura was discovered by the people of the Gold Goose Sect from the Luo Yan Empire."
"In other words, that Secret Realm is no longer held exclusively by my Mittel Clan. Additionally, the strength of the Luo Yan Empire's Gold Goose Sect is not something my Mittel Clan can contend with."
"Therefore, our Mittel Clan now chooses to make this information public. According to our Clan Leader's estimation, because of that Rank 7 magic beast's forced entry, the grand formation around that Secret Realm is expected to completely shatter in another three months."
"At that time, relying on the strength of our Mittel Clan alone, we will absolutely not be able to compete with the Luo Yan Empire. Therefore, we need everyone's strength to join hands and fight for that Secret Realm against the Luo Yan Empire!"
"Oh, right, because that Rank 7 magic beast forced its way into that Secret Realm, it was heavily injured and on the verge of death. In the process of fleeing, it was slain by our Mittel Clan's Clan Leader. And that is how we obtained the Rank 7 magic core in the auction."
This time, Mittel Tengshan spoke out all the information currently held by their Mittel Clan in one breath. Although they obtained a Rank 7 magic core because of this accident, if they could, they would rather not have this Monster Core!
One must know that although their Mittel Clan had discovered this Secret Realm for several years, because of the layers of formations on the outside, their Mittel Clan would wait for one formation to disappear before advancing a certain distance to search for and find various resources.
Now it was great; along with that Rank 7 magic beast's reckless interference, those formations that were supposed to disappear slowly were now all overwhelmed. Their Mittel Clan could no longer continue to slowly search for resources.
Most detestably, this Secret Realm had been discovered by the people of the Luo Yan Empire. How could the Mittel Clan not be frustrated? Thus, as things stood, they could only make this information public.
