MTLNOVEL Chapter 355: A Dragon's Egg
"Well, fortunately, the third item has been sold as well, and now it's finally time for the biggest surprise for all our honored guests," Kyros said loudly, and behind him appeared a large egg shining like gold.
When they saw the egg, everyone's eyes widened, their breath caught in their throats, and it seemed they couldn't believe what they were looking at.
The egg looked far bigger than any egg they had ever seen in their lives, but more importantly, it radiated an aura of overwhelming majesty and supremacy.
It was just an egg, yet it felt like the most precious thing between heaven and earth, surpassing everything — the highest form of existence.
Everyone already had a guess about what it was, but no one dared to believe it could truly be that thing.
Could it be… a dragon egg?
"Is the House of Ten Thousand Treasures really planning to sell a dragon egg? Are they insane?" Many of the auction participants were shocked.
Contrary to what one might expect, no one was calm at that moment — everyone was alarmed, and this included the representatives of the great powers.
If this was really a dragon egg, then how would they deal with the wrath of the dragons?
"As you've guessed, this is a dragon egg — the egg of the most legendary race in the entire world," Kyros said proudly.
He completely ignored everyone's reactions. In fact, both he and the leaders of the House of Ten Thousand Treasures were certain that no matter how much these people feared the dragons, they would still be willing to risk everything for the egg.
We are talking about a dragon egg! Its value is something words could never fully describe.
"Are they insane? Do they really want to sell a dragon egg?" Andreas muttered in disbelief.
As a descendant of the Lionheart family, naturally, his worldview was extremely high, and he knew well what kind of terrifying beings dragons were.
And now these fools wanted to sell a dragon egg?
Ilaris had fallen silent and said nothing — it was clear that she too was shocked.
"If anything happens, be ready to escape from here," Daniel didn't answer her and instead said this with a frown.
He now understood what the Spirit Queen had meant when she warned him about attending this auction, and how it was connected to dragons.
There were only two possibilities — either a dragon would attack this place and kill everyone, or the people here would start fighting each other to obtain the egg.
Andreas wanted to say something, but after a bit of thought, he only shook his head. He wasn't stupid — he could naturally see the disaster that might occur.
"What use could a dragon egg possibly have?" Ilaris asked with curiosity and confusion. She could see greed in the eyes of many present.
This greed was no less than when everyone had thought the Ancient Flame was actually a Heavenly Flame — maybe it was even greater now…
"There's a legend that says if someone can obtain a dragon egg and devour and absorb the life energy within it, they will gain all the abilities of a dragon — including an extremely long lifespan, the strongest body, unmatched speed, the greatest perception between heaven and earth, and the highest affinity with mana and Laws," Andreas replied after some thought.
To be honest, even he was tempted to get the egg. But he neither had the courage to fight for it here nor the courage to face the wrath of dragons later.
"Something like that?" Ilaris swallowed hard, not expecting a dragon egg to be so valuable.
"I doubt they'll be able to control the auction from this point on," Daniel said.
And he was right — it wasn't long before Kyros announced that the starting price for the egg was one hundred Chaos Crystals.
A huge uproar broke out, but no one voiced any objections. In fact, all the major powers like the Valenberg family, the Elthanor Empire, the Trevan Empire, the Crimson Demon Palace, the Sea God Palace, and even the representative of the Lionheart family — who had been silent until now — began bidding.
Many other major forces who had only been spectators until now suddenly started bidding as well.
In less than a few minutes, the price had already reached 200 Chaos Crystals! All the guests were shocked and horrified by the number.
Two hundred Chaos Crystals was an unimaginably huge amount — even a Heavenly Climber might not be able to gather that much in their entire lifetime.
And it was clear that these ancient and powerful factions were just getting started. For a dragon egg, none of them were willing to back down — even if it meant going bankrupt, they had to have it.
"You bastard empires better back off, or we won't let you live," the representative of the Valenberg family growled harshly.
"Hmph! You Valenbergs think you own the world? You're just a bunch of greedy trash. This dragon egg can only belong to us," the Trevan Empire representative growled back.
The atmosphere in the hall turned cold and hostile, and it was clear that disaster could break out at any moment — and no one dared try to stop it.
However, Kyros's face showed no worry at all, as if he didn't care in the slightest.
"Dear friends, this level of anger is not good. How about, to prevent any disaster, you all step back and let the Destiny Church take custody of this dragon egg?" The voice of the bishop of the Destiny Church — who had come to the auction — rang out.
When his voice echoed, everyone frowned slightly. The Destiny Church was a giant force, standing firmly at the peak of the world, truly deserving to be called ancient.
Provoking such a power was no small matter, yet the representatives of the great powers all growled in response.
Were any of them weak? Each one of them was an envoy of the greatest powers in the world. Moreover, if they obtained the dragon egg, the strength of the power behind them would greatly increase.
However, before the representatives of the great powers could say anything, suddenly a shiver ran through everyone present. Mighty, ancient auras appeared above the palace where the auction was being held.
The entire Azure Phoenix City suddenly felt an intense oppression and suffocation, as if some unspeakable beings had appeared.
