C29 The Auction
C29 The Auction
Then, the most valuable item would be left at the end, commonly known as the finale.
Although the Hagerstown Pharmacist Guild's auction this time was very big, this was only a small city where the Pharmacist Guild occasionally obtained precious medicine.
More than a hundred years ago, Clark Edinberg, who was still a Level 7 Titled Devil Instructor at that time, had thrown out 987,657,210 Rhine Mark and 33 pfennig to buy a pair of mysterious dolls in Westfalen. It was said that it was that pair of dolls that allowed Edinburgh to finally break through to the Eighth Grade Titled Devil Instructor and become the strongest person in the world.
Although the value of the Rhine Mark had depreciated greatly at that time, and it was only equivalent to 500 million Aldran Shield, it was still an unimaginable amount of wealth.
The gray-haired girl was half-lying on the sofa, and she held a melon in her hand. Her petite body appeared to be beautiful and soft. She blinked her eyes and looked at the image displayed on the Magic Conducting Screen in front of her.
This screen was good in everything, but unfortunately, its resolution was too low.
In addition, the bottle itself was only the size of a thumb, so it was very blurry, and only the sound was relatively clear.
"The first two bottles to be shown to everyone are two bottles of Baptism Potion produced by a mysterious Potion Master. I believe that I don't need to introduce too much here. When everyone hears the words' Baptism Potion ', they will roughly know what it means."
The auctioneer was the Pharmacist Guild's Vice President Dominika who helped Riko appraise last time.
"The starting bid is ten thousand shields. Each increment must not be less than one thousand. The auction begins."
Riko continued to eat the melon. There were already people bidding.
"12,450 shields!"
"15,000 shields!"
"[23,333 shields!]"
However, before the person who raised the first card could put it down, he was drowned by the bids one after another.
Dominika gave an estimate of 35,000 shields per bottle. In fact, the value of the Baptism Potion should be around 50,000 gold coins.
As expected, when the price exceeded 50,000, the bidding slowed down.
Finally, the first bottle of potion was bought by a powerful mage family in Hagerstown for 62,000 shields. Pharmacist Guild wanted to charge twenty percent of the processing fee. Riko silently calculated in her heart. This way, she could still get 49600 shields. All the expenses she had spent for so long were instantly earned back. And there was still quite a lot of money left.
And this was only the first bottle.
The second bottle was sold at a higher price. Other than the Dulanches family, which had already gotten their hands on the potion, the remaining two magic families in the southwestern part of the kingdom fought so hard to make their heirs become extremely talented girls. In the end, this bottle of Baptism Potion was sold for 70,000 shields.
After Riko's things were sold, she took a bite of the melon. She perked up a little and sat up a little straighter on the soft sofa.
She did not need to raise her card to bid in the private room. She just needed to press the button beside the seat and then talk.
This melon was quite sweet.
After the two bottles of Baptism Potion were sold, what came out were some ordinary potions that were only worth a few thousand or ten to twenty thousand shields.
Riko waited until the sixth auction item appeared before finding what she wanted.
"The next auction item is two Star Orbit Flower. As a magic material named after Star Trail Wizard and Keppler, I believe that everyone knows the value of the pharmacist better than me. The starting price is five thousand shields. Each increment must be no less than five hundred shields. "
In the novel, the protagonist accidentally found a good item in the auction and no one else knew what it was. Then, the plot of the protagonist being able to buy it at a low price did not exist in reality.
Also, this was a potion auction. There would never be an elf girl locked in a cage.
After all, the Star Orbit Flower was a Star Orbit Flower. It was a flower that could only grow when it was close to the Polar Region and bathed in eternal night and aurora.
During the night that lasted for half a year in the Arctic, the stars in the sky constantly changed their trajectories. The Star Orbit Flower, which always faced the sky, also accumulated special magical attributes in such an environment.
Finally, Riko bought two flowers at the price of thirty thousand shields.
Actually, Riko did not have any requirements.
Wait. After selling all four bottles of Back Ring Potion, she should have over 400,000 Aldran Shield in her hands. This was equivalent to...
Riko counted with her fingers for a long time, but she still did not know how much it was converted into Yen.
In any case, it was a lot.
This money was enough for her to spend for a long time.
In case she ran out of money one day, she could also casually buy some things. After all, she was a Master Alchemist pharmaceuticals. Any item she made could be sold for a very high price.
She bought these two flowers to teach Dorothy.
One. Riko was going to enter the Lotterdall in a month's time. Although she didn't know what the life of the legendary Magic Academy was like, she could predict that most of them wouldn't have so much free time like now.
Riko felt that since she had knowledge of pharmaceuticals that far surpassed the times, it was better to find someone to pass it on.
This way, she would have a sense of accomplishment.
After that... It doesn't mean anything.
Riko started to watch from the sidelines.
Then, the main point came.
The staff of Pharmacist Guild carried a very large box over. They opened the box and saw four bottles of sky-blue potions lying in the grooves.
Everyone's eyes widened.
Riko did not feel anything.
Or rather, she was not aware of the value of the Back Ring Potion.
It was clearly just a product that she casually produced, so why would it be treated as a supreme treasure by others?
"Just as the invitation letter said, these are four bottles of Back Ring Potion that came from the same pharmaceuticals Great Master. It can allow a mage to ignore the exhaustion of any spells in ten minutes, it's a very rare product."
"Then, the starting price of the first bottle is 60,000 Aldran Shield, and each increment must be no less than 6000. The auction starts... "
The reason why the auction hosted by the Pharmacist Guild could attract so many people was mostly because of the existence of these four bottles of Back Ring Potion.
A few Devil Instructor had come, and there were countless Great Mage and lower level mages.
They had been waiting for this moment for a long time.
