223 Auctions and duels

Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

Inviting other mages to make zuò potions will naturally make a lot less profit than Gordon's making zuò, but at least it will be better than nothing if you can keep it profitable. Businessmen, naturally, want to invest the most resources in the most profitable projects.

After returning to Clear Water City, Gordon met with Douro several times, mainly to learn about the store's operation and finances, discuss future exhibitions, and ask him to bring various materials needed to transform the Activation Shield and Blade Golem by himself.

Just yesterday, when Duro came to visit with four copies of the Shadow Steel Ingot that Gordon urgently needed to transform the Blade Golem, Gordon casually mentioned that he had some good things in the Cold Mist Mountains, and if he developed them over time, he could set off a fashion revolution in Ferreton, and even the entire Big 6, making new clothes that women flock to and men to smit.

Douro was deeply attracted by the beautiful "money scene" depicted by Gordon, and after a night of insomnia, he came impatiently today to ask for specific details.

The good thing that Gordon said was the strange plant that appeared in the black spider cave where the black dragon Temodalus lived: the white fiber fruit. If progress goes well, he can use this plant to make nylon.

However, since he has been busy transforming and repairing equipment and improving his strength, he put this matter aside for the time being. After all, now is not the time when you used to be in debt and worry about your livelihood. No one would have too many glittering gold coins, but with enough hard currency in his pocket, Gordon neither needed nor had the energy to rush to open up new ways to make money.

After Xie Ona's injuries have been healed, and those thorny problems have been resolved, it is not too late to think about this problem.

In order not to disappoint the dumb-eyed Duro, Gordon still explained to him in detail the new things he was going to open.

After Gordon sketched a vision of the future, Douro was no longer a clinking gold coin — a beautiful woman in black stockings and lace lingerie made of nylon.

"That's right, partner. I need a pink zinnia petal, do you have a way? Although the Lord of Wands, the Fritz Grand Druid, and the Cardinal of the Temple of Dawn, the three great men had promised to help him find the missing materials for the Iona healing potion, Gordon still hoped that he could find it. Always be favored. Not a good thing.

Whether it is a former adventurer or a businessman, Douro has accumulated considerable contacts. Maybe he'll be able to surprise himself a little.

The chubby merchant held his double chin and thought for a while, and actually really gave Gordon a surprise.

"Tomorrow, the Lavaletti Chamber of Commerce will hold an auction with pink whooping saffron petals as the finale."

Once again, Lady Luck seems to have favored Gordon. I thought it would be very difficult to get hold of this precious magic plant. I don't know how much energy it takes, but I didn't expect it to be so soon.

But it didn't take long for Gordon to restrain the joy on his face.

It's not easy to buy what you want from an auction.

Lavaletti is one of the largest chambers of commerce in Ferreton - and of course, only such a powerful business organization. Only then did I get pink zinnia petals. The fact that a powerful chamber of commerce holds an auction means that the guests who participate are by no means ordinary people. I'm afraid he's going to face stiff competition.

A pink whooping saffron petal has a market price of about 3,000 Ferreton gold coins. After Gordon modified the Blade Golem and the Activated Shield, there were still 3,500 gold coins left from this outing. Coupled with the dividends from the store during this time, it stands to reason that it is more than enough to buy pink petals.

But here's the thing. Once a precious commodity is auctioned, its value cannot be estimated using common sense.

In case someone happens to be in dire need of pink petals to compete with Gordon, then the final price will be very high, even too high for him to bear.

If you are more unlucky, you will encounter a big dog who is on a whim or simply wants to go against Gordon, and tens of thousands of gold coins will be smashed over. Gordon, who has just entered the life of a small wealth, has no competitive capital.

In the novel, the protagonist is always able to spend thousands of dollars at the auction and is domineering, attracting the attention of all kinds of beauties from all sides, and then buying artifacts that others have no real value, and by the way, he pits the rich second generation who dares to harass his harem.

This kind of cool and sour plot, of course, Gordon also wants to experience it.

However, it seems unlikely......

One way or another. The pink whooping saffron petals auctioned by the Lavaletti Chamber of Commerce, Gordon had to take them. Even if you have to use unconventional means, you will not hesitate to do so.

"Old friend, are you worried about not having enough money?" Douro saw Gordon pondering. I couldn't help but ask.

"What, will you lend it to me?" Gordon half-jokingly. Such a precious magical plant is a necessary ingredient for many high-grade potions. There will be no shortage of buyers for pink petals. Otherwise, the Lavaretti Chamber of Commerce would not have made it the finale of the auction.

Douro gritted his teeth and said, "Two thousand gold coins, this is the capital of my pension......"

The two thousand gold coins that had not yet been lent out seemed to have cost the fat merchant half his life, he took a deep breath, and said, "However, maybe you can get the goods you want as long as you spend the auction reserve price." ”

"What's going on here?"

"The owner of the Lavaretti Chamber of Commerce, Ariante. Morality. Baron Lavaletti had a very special hobby - he loved to watch duels and dabbled in a wide range of things. From the most basic animal duels - including cockfighting, dog fighting, orc slave fighting, demon servant fighting, etc., to real duels - knight spear fighting, two-handed sword foot fighting, spell duels, small group dogfights...... This wealthy gentleman of the Baron has an incredible breadth of tastes. In order to satisfy his hobby, at each auction, he would select an item and let many buyers compete at the auction reserve price. The baron will set a duel theme, in which anyone who wants it can participate, and the winner will take the merchandise. ”

"What a nobleman with unique interests." Gordon would have liked to meet the Baron Lavalredi. He asked again, "So, what type of dueling match will he hold at this auction?" ”

"God knows! Even the almighty Ryujin-sama couldn't guess the strange thoughts in that guy's head. "At the last auction at Fort Marie-Princesse, Baron Lavaletti asked the two contenders to send the most beautiful slave girls in the family, covered in butter, and engaged in Greco-Roman wrestling......"

Gordon thought about the fragrant and intense scene for a moment, and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Tomorrow Baron Lavaletti will take the pink petals as a trophy of a duel?"

Duro shook his head and said, "I'm not sure either, tomorrow's auction is the last auction before the Dragon God's Blessing Day, and the scale is very large, and there are several auction items with the same value as the pink petals of the whooping saffron." Who knows what that guy will choose! ”

There are a lot of uncertainties.

If it were luck alone, Gordon would have had a hard time getting his hands on that pink petal.

However, human wisdom should work at such times, removing uncertainties and letting things unfold in the direction that is most beneficial to them.

Douro knew Gordon had something to do again. The fat merchant told his partner to hurry up and develop the version of nylon in the world of Telos, make a lot of money together, and then leave.

And after Gordon sent Douro away, he also called the maid: "Prepare a horse for me, I will go to Rainbow Springs Manor again." ”

……

"I didn't expect there to be such a place under the city!" Gordon exclaimed as he walked into the brightly lit underground hall that could accommodate at least three thousand people.

He'd been living in the city for some time, and had been in the dirty, damp, dark sewers beneath the city, but he was taken aback by the place where the Lavaletti Chamber of Commerce held its auction today.

"Blue Water City was originally a military fortress for the High Rock Dwarves. This hall was used by them to worship Moradin, and it was naturally grand and spacious. Later, after the dwarven tribes declined and retreated into the mountains, we Ferretonians entered, and it took several generations of expansion to form the city it is today. Faria explained to him on the sidelines.

The eldest lady rarely threw away her dress today and put on a high-waisted dress embellished with ruffles. The curve of the waist is very perfect, which sets off the youthful beauty that belongs to the girl. Illuminated by the magical golden lights of the hall, her silver radiated a dreamlike beauty.

It is indeed a pleasure to have such a beautiful woman accompany you to the auction. However, Gordon originally wanted Shellreya to accompany him.

Since meeting the half-elf girl, the two have rarely gone out to play alone. Gordon originally wanted to use the auction as a date to strengthen the relationship between the two parties. But unexpectedly, Shellae said that she had something important to go out today, and rejected Gordon's invitation. This made Gordon regretful. When participating in the auction and sitting bored in the chair, Gordon was able to touch the slender and silky legs of the half-elf girl, and admire the shy expression of the "Qingren" beside him, as a way to relieve loneliness. But if he dared to do that to Faria, it would be death.

As for why Faria is with her, it's up to the lord to ask. The former legendary mage is an accomplished in the arcane realm, but he is clearly a rookie when it comes to children. Gordon felt that the Grand Duke seemed to have misunderstood something, and was intentionally or unintentionally matching himself with Falia.

What's even more amazing is that the Grand Duke asked Falia to accompany him to the auction, and the eldest lady did not refuse!

The two of them found their seats, and as soon as they sat down, there was a commotion from the door of the hall, mixed with the screams of women. Don't get me wrong, it's not that someone is in danger. Gordon was familiar with the screams. Those star-chasing girls on the earth will make this kind of cry when they meet idols.

Looking over to the loudest place, Gordon's good eyesight allowed him to capture the source of the riot in the crowd - a man with whom he had a relationship.

Commander of the vanguard cavalry of the Wintertalon Legion, personable, handsome and charming Drington. Feng. Eisenstein Knight.
