Chapter 81 The surprise brought by the moon stone
Half an hour after Donald entered the VIP room, the guests who invited the oaks had already entered one after another. Donald looked down in the VIP room and saw many familiar faces, including the old neighbor Baron Redpil and his new friend Sir Jesse.
When the auction was about to begin, the crowd below striking and a group of people walked into the venue.
"Haha! Our city lord has arrived!"
The silver-haired old man in the VIP room said with a smile.
Donald looked down and saw that the person who came was the highest-ranking nobleman in the North County, the consul of the North County, Viscount Macbeth, followed by his son Bodon and Lord Gerry. As soon as they arrived, they occupied the best position in the front row.
"Our consul is actually interested in participating in this auction. It seems that the publicity work of the auction house is very good!, Old Geva shook his head and said, "This is also the auction items you provide are of great value. Macbeth has always regarded himself as a great noble, but compared with the real ancient family, he is a nouveau riche, and his background and strength are far inferior. Therefore, he has always been committed to collecting precious alchemy items and enchanting equipment, and has secretly done a lot of robbery." "Now that the batch of auction items you provide appear, no matter whether it is true or false, he will not miss this opportunity. So we didn't promote it at all, just sent someone to send an invitation letter to the city lord's mansion. The viscount came with great importance!"
Donald didn't say anything after hearing this. He had already confirmed in his heart that no matter what his previous grudges were, as long as the Macbeth family did not give up the idea of annexing the large and small territories of the North County for a day, then they would always be on the opposite side, and there was no possibility of mediation.
At the beginning of the auction, the first ones were the gadgets such as artworks taken out by the auction house, which were all accompanied consumer goods that set off the atmosphere. This was basically similar in both the large auction house in the royal capital Kosovo and the small auction house in the remote area of the North County.
Under the clever verbal offensive of the auctioneer, many nobles bid, and in a short while, they successfully sold many items with low value but certain collection and viewing value. In fact, just these benefits alone, the auction house held today was already profitable, not to mention the valuable items behind, and the share of those items was the big part of the profit.
Soon, the first auction item produced by Donald officially came on stage.
"This is a bottle of medium-sized life potion. No matter how serious the injury is, as long as it is not completely damaged, it can recover quickly. This potion is refined by our kingdom hero North County's first genius mage. As a disciple of silver alchemist Messel, Mage Donald has extraordinary talent in alchemy. Although this bottle of life potion is only a medium-sized alchemy potion, its unique secret recipe effect is comparable to that of the advanced alchemy potion made by the master."
"Three bottles of life potion, starting at 300 Jinsol, this is a magic potion that can save lives. Whether you are an adventurer who is out or a soldier who will go to the battlefield, even a noble master can take a photo and hide it at home for later use. Maybe one day you will save your life because of these bottles of potions. The opportunity is rare and you cannot miss it. Now the auction begins..." Naturally everyone will be interested in such items that can save lives at critical moments. Many people come here specifically for this. These include some adventurers and nobles.
Although adventurers are generally civilians, there are also some powerful professionals among them, and their cash is not much less than that of ordinary nobles. They are fully capable of participating in bidding.
When the price rose to 500 Kingsol, Lord Gerry in front called out a high price of 600 Kingsol, which suddenly increased by 100 Kingsol. Everyone knew that he was bidding on behalf of Viscount Macbeth, so he was a little hesitant for a while.
"Six hundred and ten Kingsols!" But soon someone could not suppress his desire for these three bottles of potions and raised the price again.
If the first person bids without fear of Viscount Macbeth's deterrence, then there are naturally others who are brave enough to follow closely.
Soon it rose to 680 Kingsol again. At this time, Lord Gerry directly pulled the price to 700 Kingsol. At this time, only two or three opponents could compete with him on the field.
Apart from an adventurer with a strange appearance, the most powerful one is Donald's old neighbor Baron Red Maple.
The baron seems to be determined to win this bottle of life potion. If he bids with Macbeth with all his might, it is still unknown who will win.
However, what made Ounister, the businessman and nobleman angry was that he had no respect in his words and wanted to run away.
Even if the Lord has obtained the actual fief, he is still a lord. However, he has been promoted from a lifelong noble to a hereditary noble, and has the same status as hereditary knights. He belongs to a lower class aristocrat who is above the gentry. Facing a nobleman with a higher title than his own, although he is all aristocrat and does not need to worship anyone, he should be humble and behave as he deserves.
But Gerry didn't care about the hostile and disdainful eyes of others. As long as his master was always ahead, he was not afraid of doing something that offends people, because he and the Macbeth family could be said to have both losses and prospered.
It can be said that Lord Gerry is a dog, and a dog owner whom Viscount Macbeth asked him to bite him must obey the orders.
The two nobles competed, but behind the nose it was cheaper the adventurer who had been bidding.
The cold-faced and taciturn adventurer finally raised the price to 1,300 Kingsol, which exceeded the psychological expectations of Baron Red Maple, so the merchant noble immediately gave up the bidding.
Seeing this, Lord Gerry had to bid, but was stopped by his master Macbeth, so the three bottles of potions belonged to the adventurer.
"interesting!"
Donald said with some amusing look at the competition in the field.
The owner of the auction house, Angva, sneered, "Do you think that guy Macbeth gave up? After the sale is over, he will take action. If the adventurer is not strong and has no experience, he may become a corpse in Yindun, a slums, tonight, and he will not be able to walk out of the Rock City alive!"
"Has Macbeth reached such a level of madness?"
The old silver-haired man glanced at Donald in surprise.
"It's not the first time he has done this kind of thing. You won't simply think that Macbeth will let anyone blame him, right? If you do dirty things like a nobleman like him, Macbeth is just more thorough. If you have sympathy for your enemies, then I advise you to wake up early because you will not live long in the circle of nobles!"
Donald naturally understood these principles, but understanding and thorough acceptance are two different concepts. 1. In the deepest part of his mind, he still has a conscience and compassion. In his opinion, if even his true nature is completely lost, then living and saving lives like a walking corpse, such a person cannot be called himself.
Therefore, thank you for your kind reminder, but you dare not be completely in harmony. In this new world, Donald decided to keep his own mind and find a way to survive better. The biggest prerequisite for doing this is to master stronger strength than your enemies!
The auction of the following items is not inferior to the popularity of the Life Potion. It can drive away curses and restore mental power. The speed reel that can increase the movement speed of the teammates. It can add bloodthirsty magic to the group, improve the overall combat power of the beast reel, and also the development dust that can break the stealth invisibility effect.
Each piece is a very rare spell scroll for ordinary people. The competition between the guests present is very fierce.
Especially the development dust behind, the adventurer who has never bid for the life potion since he took pictures of the life potion seems to be particularly concerned about this development dust that can break the stealth invisibility effect.
It is just a simple alchemy item, which is more indiscriminate in Xing. Except for adventurers who often walk outside and spell casting professions who prevent assassins from approaching, few people will use this.
Given the previous competition between the adventurer and theirs, this time it was Viscount Macbeth's turn to start raising the price. In the end, the starting price was only three golds of Jinsol's development dust, but the adventurer bought it at a high price of one hundred goldsol.
Angwa, who was paying attention to the auction below in the VIP room, immediately said to Donald: "Did you see any problem?"
Donald was a little afraid of understanding when he heard this.
“What’s the problem?”
"Look, this adventurer is willing to buy an item that is not very useful for dozens of times the price, which means that this thing must be of great use to him.
However, my speculation is that on the contrary, it is not that you want to get it if you are useful to yourself. You will also want to get items that can enhance your enemy's strength. I think this person is probably an assassin profession that is good at stealth, so he does not want items that restrain his abilities to fall into the hands of outsiders!"
After hearing this, Donald was immediately surprised and admired the silver-haired old man's ability to think in an emergency.
It is no wonder that he said that he was once the intelligence supervisor of Celte. It is estimated that only those who work in intelligence for many years will have such a keen sense of smell.
Next is the last thing besides the finale.
This thing is a half-moon-shaped crystal fragment that emits fluorescent light. It is the low-level magic prop of the Elf store that Donald exchanged from the Book of Truth.
The effect of this moon stone is simple, it only forms a dark night within a certain range, which can free the night elves troops that can be invisible at night from danger and battlefields.
Moon Stone itself does not have any attack defense capabilities, so the redemption price is relatively cheap.
Logically speaking, such things should be of low value, but this is the real world, and everything cannot be speculated based on common sense in the game.
The effect of Moon Stone is very similar to the advanced spell Dark Sky that Donald read in the book, but it does not have the powerful effect of the latter.
Therefore, this moon stone was named as the secondary Dark Sky Stone by Donald, so he and other items were thrown to the auction house.
Chapter completed!
