Waukeen at Long Last, a Joyful Revenge

Hill's initial increments of 100 had not attracted much attention. Everyone was bidding that way.

But later on, both upstairs and downstairs began to realize he was casually tossing in bids.

After all, with two level-fourteen Archmages who were on poor terms and fiercely competitive with each other already arguing loudly from upstairs, very few people still dared to keep adding 100 at a time.

More importantly, anyone who truly did not fear them would not have chosen this house, nor would they have bothered to provoke them for no reason.

Especially those whose lives as Mages would likely end at level fourteen or fifteen, and who would probably spend the rest of their lives teaching at the university.

However, thanks to Hill stirring things up, the two Mages who had nearly driven the price up to ten thousand gold coins gradually calmed down.
