Me! The Strongest Alchemist!

Chapter 78: Underground Emperor Babbitt!

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

This man was wearing a black robe and looked very kind.

However, if someone really thought that he was very kind, that would be foolish.

This man was the City Lord of the City of Exile, Babbitt, who had the title of Black Emperor!

His strength was at the peak of an advanced professional, which was equivalent to an advanced Level 6. He was only a step away from becoming a Legendary.

The scorpion beside him was subdued by him, so one could imagine how powerful he was.

“Babbitt, I heard you’re auctioning a Tear of the Goddess tonight. Is that true?” asked a burly three-meter tall barbarian in the crowd.

Babbitt looked at the speaker and laughed loudly. “That’s right, my dear friend!”

“Everyone in this City of Exile knows that I, Babbitt, have never bothered to lie!”

“Since I said I wanted to auction off a tear, I’ll definitely auction it off.”

“Everyone here has prepared the gold coins?”

“The price of this Tear of the Goddess is not low!”

With that, he flipped his right hand and a black sword appeared in it.

“Everyone, let the auction begin now. This is the first item for auction. The obsidian sword is a Level 6 alchemy item. It has powerful anti-magic properties and can easily destroy magic. I wonder if anyone here is interested?”

“The starting price of this obsidian sword is three million gold coins. Every increase in price is no less than 150,000 gold coins. The bidding begins now!” Babbitt said loudly.

“This Babbitt also has a space ring?” Mas thought as he saw the obsidian sword suddenly appear in the man’s hand.

Although space rings were legendary alchemy items, there were many of them in the world. The main reason was that the space stones used to refine space rings were too expensive and rare, so this space ring was considered a legendary alchemy item.

Of course, the effects of a Space Ring were pretty good.

After taking out the obsidian sword, Babbitt immediately began the auction. It somewhat matched the style of this City of Exile.

Mas was not interested in this obsidian sword at all.

However, the others present were very interested in this obsidian sword that could be regarded as the bane of magic and continuously raised the bid of it.

The price doubled quickly and was bought by a Goblin Warrior.

The following items were all pretty good. They were all high-grade weapons or armor.

However, the people who bought these weapons and armor left without stopping to wait for the last Tear of the Goddess. Obviously, they knew that they were not rich enough to buy the Tear of the Goddess.

Moreover, even if they really bought the Tear of the Goddess, it was still a question if they could take it away.

Although there were no Legendary Experts present, no one could guarantee if there was a Legendary Expert hidden inside the crowd.

Mas was certain that there were Legendary Experts among these people.

As Babbitt took out the items from the space ring one after another, the atmosphere became more and more fiery.

Seeing that he was almost done, Babbitt took out a teardrop-shaped blue crystal.

This was the Tear of the Goddess.

Mas’ eyes burned when he saw the Tear of the Goddess in Babbitt’s hand.

He was not the only one. The others present were the same.

If a slightly talented mage were to use such a Tear of the Goddess, he would definitely break through to the Legendary stage.

It was not impossible for him to break through to the Epic stage!

“Everyone, this is the final item of the auction, the Tear of the Goddess.”

“I think everyone here knows the value of this Tear of the Goddess. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have come.”

“Then let the auction begin now. The starting bid will be 50 million gold coins, and each bid has to have a minimal increase of a million gold coins.” Babbitt held the Tear of the Goddess and sneered.

As Babbitt announced the start of the auction, unexpectedly, no one present spoke first.

Babbitt looked amused when he saw that no one was raising the price.

“Everyone, are you not interested in the Tear of the Goddess? This is the legendary Tear of the Goddess!” Babbitt said with a faint smile.

“Babbitt, you have no right to have a treasure like the Tear of the Goddess!”

“Leave it to me. This way, you can avoid a massacre.” A cold voice sounded in the group.

A blind man with his left eye blind slowly rose into the sky. He aimed his right hand at Babbitt and shot out a wind blade.

However, before his wind blades could hit Babbitt, one of the guards holding a longsword jumped up and killed the old man with one strike.

Everyone present gasped at the sight.

This was because they all recognized the old man who had been killed. He was a high-grade wind-type mage.

“Everyone, I’m taking out this Tear of the Goddess for auction out of goodwill.”

“Yet you want to take it by force. This really disappoints me.”

“However, if anyone thinks that they can snatch the Tear of the Goddess from me, they can give it a try!” Babbitt shook his head slightly and looked at the people around him with disdain.

Upon hearing Babbitt’s words, a man wielding a longsword suddenly erupted from the crowd and charged towards him.

However, before this man could approach Babbitt, another unarmed guard blocked in front of him and directly punched this man, killing him on the spot.

Babbitt laughed loudly.

“Guys, I forgot to tell you!”

“These guards are all peak advanced professionals!”

“If you really want to steal the Tear of the Goddess, you have to be mentally prepared,” said Babbitt with a laugh.

“What a boring game!”

“They are just a group of advanced professionals!”

“I want the Tears of the Goddess!”

“Babbitt, will you offer it to me personally, or will you let me obtain it from your corpse?”

A scorching wave of air erupted from the crowd. Many people were sent flying by this wave of air and burn marks appeared on their bodies.

A white-haired old man in a black suit approached Babbitt.

Babbitt looked at the old man in front of him and his expression changed.

“Flame Fist Maren!”

“That’s right, it’s me!” the old man said proudly.

Hearing the old man’s admission, there was a cry of surprise from the crowd!

Flame Fist Maren was a Legendary Flame Fist Master. He was very powerful and had once killed a legendary magical beast with his fists. His reputation was incomparable to ordinary people.

Babbitt looked at Flame Fist Maren and grimaced.

“Flame Fist Maren, as a Legendary Expert, aren’t you afraid of losing your reputation by stealing the Tear of the Goddess?” Babbitt said in a low voice.

Maren laughed loudly. “The people in the City of Exile are just a bunch of evil people and wanted criminals.”

“A treasure like the Tear of the Goddess is nothing in your hands. If the Tear of the Goddess has a spirit, it will definitely cry!”

“It’s best to leave such a treasure to me for safekeeping!” Flame Fist Maren laughed.

With that said, he accelerated and charged at Babbitt.
