Chapter Twenty-Eight: Auction is a Discipline
It was late at night, and the auction at the Kalanda auction house was also carried out to the end.
"Smack-" Kaloi slammed down the hammer, and the whole hall fell silent, everyone knew that the finale of the auction was about to appear.
"The finale of this auction, five bottles of antidote!" Kaloi's arm waved slightly, and the lights of the whole room dimmed, and everyone's eyes were focused on the cart advanced by Miss Manners.
They have bright smiles, and their white teeth shine brighter in the dim light, not necessarily very beautiful, but they just make people feel very comfortable. Surprisingly, they wore the emblem of the Pharmacists' Guild on their chests, indicating their other identity - pharmacists.
No matter where you are in the continent, priests and pharmacists will always be the most respected professions.
One of the hostesses held a tray made of dark magic crystals, the purple-black tray was covered with golden stigmata silk, and as soon as she moved her fingers, the golden silk was lifted, and the five crystal bottles lay quietly at the bottom of the plate, emitting a charming purple halo under the light of the magic crystals.
The cost of the plate is higher than the medicine, and Yun Li secretly slanders the packaging methods of the Kalanda Auction House, and the profiteer is the profiteer!
"This is a new type of potion, targeting the mutated poisonous cat demon and the flaming zombie in the Glenn Forest, and what these two poisons mean must be clear to everyone here. According to the authoritative appraisal of George, the president of the Apothecary Guild of Tasan City, although this antidote is not of high rank, but-" Kaloi's voice suddenly raised, elongating his voice, "It can completely detoxify these two poisons, and it will not cause any harm!"
Originally, I heard Kaloi say that this potion was not of high grade, and many people were disappointed. But what is the most important thing about a potion? It's not how high the level is, it's useful!
What about giving me a bottle of Holy Order Elixir? If it doesn't save a life, it's better than a bottle of dew. Many of you here are outlaws, and they know this very well.
After the shock, they all slowly calmed down, and a pair of blazing eyes were already staring at the plate in Miss Manners's hand, nothing is heavier than their own lives, gold coins, can they be brought into the grave?
"Hurry up and quote-" The people below were already impatient.
Kaloi smiled slightly, looked around the audience, and said gently: "The guests on consignment requested that these five bottles of antidote should not be auctioned separately, but as a set. The starting price is 100,000 gold coins, and now, the auction begins!"
There is no shortage of rich people in the Free City, and 100,000 gold coins are definitely not something that most of the people present can afford. There are also very few large families in the Free City, and most of the people have little property. Therefore, the focus is on the mercenary groups and potion rich merchants who lick blood on the tip of the knife!
"There shouldn't be such a strange request, the auction house may be counterproductive in auctioning the antidote in this way......" Kate couldn't help but mutter.
Yunli nodded and didn't say much. What did George want to do? Isn't this an elixir that can create strong people in batches, can it be so important?
Of course, Yunli also knew what medicine was sold in Kaloi's gourd, he just wanted to sell it for the highest price, which was just a means of the auction house.
Most of the people of Freedom City have no family and no sense of belonging, and it is their pursuit to live and become stronger. Even if there is a surplus of potions in the auction, the remaining four bottles can be resold for a high price. If you can analyze the ingredients of this low-level elixir, you will definitely be able to occupy an advantage in the Elixir market in Liberty City!
The people who developed the potion ate meat, and it was good that they could gnaw bones and drink soup. After a moment of coldness, most people figured it out, and someone rushed to bid: "130,000!"
"One hundred and fifty thousand!"
"170,000!"
β¦β¦
Prices kept climbing, and in the end, only two voices in the VIP room were left competing.
"Three hundred and fifty thousand!"
In the end, a VIP room was quoted a staggering price.
"Lord Viscount, at this moment, you and I are the only ones bidding for this auction item, this is the highest price I can offer! If you are still willing to increase the price, Fannan has no choice but to give up, I only hope that you can keep a bottle of purple potion, I am willing to buy it at a high price!"
Everyone in the audience held their breath, it turned out that the one who had been competing until the end was actually the city lord of Tasang City and the Viscount Yunqing who assisted the Free City.
"You wonβ" Yun Qing's voice was full of loss, and he only spit out three words, and there was no movement in the VIP room.
"The city lord of Fannan bid three hundred and fifty thousand, is anyone willing to pay more?"
"Damn, of course we know how important this thing is to us, but we have to be able to buy it!" one of the mercenaries couldn't help but explode when he heard Kaloi's words.
Who doesn't want to live...... However, they have no money, no power, and no strength, so what can they compete with!
Yun Li's eyes kept staring at his father's box, was he poisoned, or was someone very important to him poisoned? He was definitely not a person who wanted to monopolize the potion market, and he never cared about money......
almost cheated his father for hundreds of thousands of gold coins, Yunli couldn't think about it...... She shook her head.
After the auction, Yun Li went straight to Yun Qing and found that he did not have any symptoms of poisoning, and the stone in her heart was half lowered.
"Dad. Yun Li snapped and kissed Yun Qing's right cheek, she remembered that girls of her current age seemed to like to do this.
"Li'er, what's wrong with you. Yun Qing touched his face, a little uncomfortable.
"Tutor Kate took me to the auction and was worried when I found out that my dad had snatched the antidote. Yunli tried to use an innocent tone as much as possible.
"Daddy is fine. β
"That'sβ"
"It's just that Cuncui saw that the city lord's uncle was not pleasing to the eye, and made a little joke with him. Yunqing scratched Yunli's nose, "Li'er, go back to the academy with Tutor Kate, Dad still has something to do." β
No matter how Yun Qing urges, he can't get rid of Yun Li's sticky sugar. He was not in a hurry, and sat quietly in the hall, and Yunli sat beside her obediently.
Kate suspects that Yunli has almost split personality, why is she like a child who grows up in a honey pot in front of her father, but in front of him and Evan is a piece of ice that does not melt for thousands of years?
It wasn't until Evan walked out of the VIP room that Yun Qing moved, and he chased after him: "This young lady - please wait a minute!"
The moment Evan turned his head, Yun Qing's face suddenly changed, and he grabbed Evan's wrist: "You...... How could it be you?"
"Me?" Evan was in a mixed mood right now, but Yunli and Kate were there, as if they both knew this person, and he couldn't turn his face.
"I'm sorry, I recognized the wrong person. β
"Nothing. "Evan just wants to run away quickly, hurry up and get his soul crystal!
Yun Qing stopped him again: "Wait, this young lady, I know I can't touch your bottom line, but please take action to heal my eldest daughter, her fighting spirit has been destroyed, I ...... I just can't ......."
He even guessed who was selling the potion on consignment at the auction house!
