0158 Sky-high invitations
Not long after, an unusually neat old man dressed in a butler's costume and with a well-groomed beard and hairstyle came to Cassius respectfully, and said in a respectful tone: "Young Master Cassius, may I ask what you need a sum of money for?"
As the steward of the Cassius family, he must perform his duties thoroughly, and he must not let Cassius fall into the evil way!
A trace of helplessness flashed in Cassius's eyes, the housekeeper's grandfather loved him, and he didn't want him to go astray, Cassius knew it, but no matter what, this amount of money had to be spent.
"Butler, Grandpa, please get me an invitation to the auction held by Earl Elaine!
As soon as the butler heard that as long as it wasn't used by Cassius to spend time drinking, he immediately said respectfully, "Yes, Master Cassius!"

At the same time, in a magic laboratory, a man in a magician's apprentice robe was scratching his ears and scratching his cheeks, staring deeply at the golden-patterned invitation in his hand, and muttered, "Is there really a magic potion in this world that allows people to become full-level magicians?"
In a luxurious villa, an aging dragon clock, no matter what cosmetics can't stop the wrinkles on her face, the middle-aged lady who is full of wrinkles looks at herself who has aged incomparably in the luxurious mirror, and she is also tightly holding an invitation with golden lines in her hand, and said in a deep voice: "The magic potion that can restore people's youth for a year, I want to decide!"
There was a long queue at the entrance of a shop owned by the third prince Sal, which exceeded hundreds of meters, and all the people in line were focused on the location at the entrance of the store, as if they were waiting for someone of weight to come out......
At this time, the store also welcomed more than forty patrol members to maintain order.
Soon, the door of the shop was finally opened, and a voice came from inside, saying, "There are only 500 invitations today!"
"Why! There were 800 yesterday!"
"Why don't you let it all out in one go?
There were all sorts of complaints from the crowd, but even that was stopped by the patrolmen.
Two burly men walked out of the store, looked at the black crowd in front of them, and said indifferently: "Please move forward according to the order, otherwise don't blame our brothers for being polite!
The members of the patrol also smiled wryly, and drew the sticks they wore on their bodies, trying to stop anyone who might rush out......
Whenever a person rushed out, dozens of people surrounded him, and in the face of this situation, the members of the patrol were accustomed to it, and listened to the people who were surrounded shouting: "900 gold coins! I want two! Give it to me!"
"1,000 gold! give me two!"
"1100 gold! give me two!"
All of a sudden, the sound of bidding continued to fluctuate, endlessly, everyone wanted to buy the invitation from the person who bought the invitation, and some people sold the invitation, and directly earned several times the profit.
However, more people still chose to hide the two invitations in their chests, and under the escort of the guards, they quickly left here, for fear of being snatched away by Cheng Yanjin, who suddenly killed, and it would be worth the loss!
The five hundred invitations in the store were snatched away in an instant, and then many people were at the door of the store to conduct secondary transactions, and countless people were crazy about snatching the small invitations......
It can be said that the nobles and strong people in the entire imperial capital are snatching the invitations sent by Louis and the third prince Sal, because Louie's magic potion gives them hope that their wishes can be fulfilled!
In the Sauron plane, most of the magical knowledge is in the hands of the major forces, and magic pharmacy is basically a knowledge that no one cares about, firstly, there are too many resources that need to be invested in the early stage, and the results are slow, and secondly, magic potions need to waste too much time, and no magician is willing to give up their lives to study magic potions with no future!
As a result, for hundreds of years, there has been no decent magic potion master on the Sauron plane.
As a result, the Sauron plane formed a conclusion: a powerful magic apothecary must be a powerful magician, but a strong magician is not necessarily a powerful magic apothecary.

Inside the mansion of the third prince, Sal.
After seeing the sales of the invitations, the third prince, Sal, was in a good mood, and invited Louis over, laughing and said: "Count Elaine, we have made a lot of money! I think even if the auction proceeds are not good, it will be enough to make up for everything! After all, just selling invitations has made us five million gold coins! This is simply a profitless transaction!"
The third prince, Sal, was happy that he not only gained five million gold coins, but also gained the favor of many nobles.
After all, the number of invitations is limited, and if they are released in the imperial capital, they will not be able to set off the slightest storm, so the nobles who couldn't ask for an invitation letter found the third prince Sal, hoping that he could take out an invitation and buy it for them.
Therefore, the third prince Sal has successfully connected with many great nobles......
Louis smiled slightly, gently shook the red wine glass in his hand, and took a sip, but judging from the slightly raised corners of his mouth, Louie was indeed in a good mood.
The third prince, Sal, asked with some curiosity: "Count Elaine, why don't we send out more invitations? After all, with my financial resources, I can rent an auction hall that can accommodate tens of thousands of people, why only let me send out 5,000 invitations?"
The number of magic potion masters in the imperial capital does not exceed two hands, and there are six of them who are dedicated to serving His Majesty the Emperor and are willing to come out to sell their own magic potions, Louis is the first!
And the rich people in the imperial capital are grabbing a lot of them, even if they release 50,000 invitations, it is estimated that they will not be able to make a splash......
Louis shook his head slightly, and said with a light smile: "Your Royal Highness the Third Prince, as the saying goes: scarce things are precious! If invitations are all over the street, how can we buy five million tickets? As long as my first auction is very successful, even if I don't sell invitations in the future, it is estimated that a large group of nobles and strong people will grab a lot of gold coins in their hands and rush to participate!"
Although the third prince Sal frowned, he seemed to be digesting the theory proposed by Louis, but with his ingenuity, I believe that it will not be long before he will come up with a reason, and maybe he can draw inferences!
"Count Elaine, what you said is very reasonable, but I still say that, 5,000 invitations are still too little, and a lot of the nobles I can't afford to provoke have sent messages asking for an invitation, what do you think I should do?"
Although the third prince Sal is the third prince of the Human Empire, he also has many great nobles with a long heritage who dare not offend, and if he wants to ascend to that throne, he must rely on the support of these great nobles!
So the third prince Sal is also very difficult to do!
Louis smiled indifferently and said, "Since they want it, give it to them! Give ten or eight more cards, I don't mind at all, even those who can't have status and funds don't think about it!"
In this Sauron plane, especially within the Human Empire, it is useless to have money, the key is to have power!
The third prince, Sal, showed a smile of satisfaction, he was afraid that Louis would not be able to turn his brain around and offend those big nobles, wouldn't he be implicated in his bad luck?
With the passage of time, the entire imperial capital is crazy about a small invitation, and the price of an invitation has not stopped from 500 gold coins at the beginning to 1000 gold coins, and it is estimated that it will not end if it is not speculated to 2000 gold coins......
Gradually, if you can have an invitation to an auction organized by Louis, it becomes a status symbol!
............
Ten days later, in a huge manor house in the imperial capital.
Luxury carriages drove in.
And the roads leading to this huge manor were all made of concrete buildings provided by Louis, and the luxury carriages drove on the cement roads, and there was no bumpy situation at all, which made many nobles admire.
Beside a sapphire-like lake, there were countless tables filled with delicacies that could not be enjoyed by the common people, and beautiful maids shuttled back and forth among them......
And near these tables are a lot of well-dressed men and women with a red wine glass in their hands, you must know that any one of them in the imperial capital is a well-known noble, legendary and powerful.
It's just these people who are getting together in twos and threes and talking about something, but they won't leave the three key words of the three princes, Sal, Count Elaine and magic potions!
Suddenly, there was a commotion in the crowd, and a large prince with short blond hair and a proud smile on his face, followed by a male and female escort.
"Look at His Royal Highness the Great Prince Salo!"
One by one, the nobles who were close to the Great Prince's faction, or the Great Prince's faction, gathered one after another, bowed slightly to the Great Prince, and a circle was formed next to His Royal Highness the Great Prince.
Not long after the arrival of the eldest prince Salo, several other princes with the right to inherit the throne also came to the scene, and they were born with their own nobles who were close to them.
Except for the third prince, Sal, as the second protagonist of this auction, naturally did not come out for a long time, leaving the other three princes to look at each other......
