Not long after the richest man of Jarrosus left, Gerian came over with a wretched expression.
"That kid wants to talk business with you. Are you interested?"
Lin Li knew that the old fellow must have gotten something good from Gerian's expression. "What business? Tell me … "
"Three bottles of Mana Potion. As for the reward …" Gerian raised three fingers with an exaggerated expression on his face. "You can choose any three items from the Mannes Family's equipment warehouse!"
"Not interested!" Lin Li replied without hesitation.
"F * ck!" Gerian only felt his legs turn to jelly, and he was almost scared out of his wits. He held onto the chair to steady himself, and before he could even straighten his crooked mage hat, the old man had already roared in exasperation, "You're not interested?"
Facing the President's sudden anger, the group of mages was scared silly. They looked at Gerian with trepidation and shrank back desperately, fearing that the old fellow's blood would splash on them. For a moment, there was a large empty space around Lin Li, and he was the only one sitting there as if nothing had happened. He even had the time to stretch out his hand and point at Gerian's head, kindly reminding him to pay attention to his image.
"Your hat is crooked …"
"Oh …" Gerian was stunned when he heard that, and quickly reached out to fix his mage hat. But halfway through, he remembered the reason for his anger. "Damn it, don't change the subject. I'm asking you a question. Is there something wrong with you? The Mannes Family's collection is something that many people can't even dream of. You're not interested in choosing any three items? You little bastard, are you trying to piss me off? "
"Sit down first and listen to me slowly …" Lin Li pulled Gerian back to his seat, and then continued, "You're already an old man, why are you still so hot-tempered? It's bad for your health to be too easily agitated … To tell you the truth, this business is not worth it."
"How is it not worth it?" As soon as Gerian heard that it was a business deal, his anger disappeared without a trace, especially when he heard that it was not worth it. He was stunned, and looked at Lin Li with a face full of suspicion.
"The Mana Potion is not as easy to concoct as you think."
Hearing this, Gerian panicked. "Even you can't match it?"
"It's not that I can't make it, it's just that the materials are too difficult to get." Lin Li shook his head and stretched out his hand to count. "Water and fire elemental essences, the blood of high-level demons, and magical crystals of level-15 and above. Do you have any way to get them?"
"I have one level-15 and above magical crystal. As for the others …"
"So, stop thinking about it."
Lin Li made the final conclusion with that sentence.
In fact, there was another reason he didn't mention, mainly because he was afraid of scaring Gerian. The old man was already in his sixties this year, and if something bad happened to him, he wouldn't be able to live with his conscience.
The Mannes Family was indeed the richest family in Jarrosus, and Lin Li believed that the collection in their family was very rich. However, choosing three pieces of equipment was really meaningless to Lin Li. With his status as a guru of five series, as long as he had enough materials, what equipment could he not get?
Gerian thought about it and still did not give up. "Why don't I ask Ysera again if he has enough materials?"
"Then you go and ask first …" Lin Li was really not interested in this matter, but seeing Gerian being so enthusiastic, he did not want to dampen his spirits.
At this time, he was actually more concerned about the auction in the hall.
Now that the last ten bottles of the Arcane Magic Potion had been sold, there were still two of the three families eyeing covetously.
The Saruman Family, in particular, had not managed to bid for even one bottle from the beginning to the end. Now, the last ten bottles had completely forced them to the edge of the cliff. Just as Old Merlin had said, 30 level-five mages in their hands would at most be considered as icing on the cake, but if they fell into the hands of their competitors, it would definitely be a fatal threat.
"Five hundred thousand!" So, just as Kevin's hammer fell, Reuben Saruman made an astonishing bid.
Lin Li and Gerian looked at each other. This auction had far exceeded their expectations. Hundreds of thousands of gold coins, plus a hundred sets of excellent magical equipment. If the last ten bottles were to be auctioned off at a sky-high price, the two of them would really be reduced to the point of smashing people with money …
Their eyes were shining, but Little Merlin and Evan were so regretful that even their intestines were green.
If they had known that things would develop to this point, they should have made a move earlier. They had bid for nine bottles in a row just now. If only they had gotten those nine bottles of Arcane Magic Potion, how would they have been forced to the point of fighting with the Saruman Family? Everyone in Jarrosus City knew that Reuben Saruman was a madman, and a madman would not reason with you. Look, look, this b * tch had come up with a sky-high price of 500,000. Was he f * cking not leaving anyone a way out?
Upon hearing that price, Little Merlin felt his scalp tingle, but he had no choice but to go against it. Before they went out, Matthew had instructed him to get at least ten bottles of Arcane Magic Potion. The three bottles in his hands now were not even half of it …
"550,000!" Little Merlin made up his mind and went all out with Reuben Saruman.
But what kind of person was Reuben Saruman? He was someone who would kill his own father and younger brother without batting an eyelid. He raised the price by another 100,000 without batting an eyelid. "650,000!"
Little Merlin felt his heart bleeding. He had a total of 800,000 gold coins in his hands. If the madman, Reuben, were to raise the price in just two rounds, he would be completely kicked out of the competition for the Arcane Magic Potion.
"700,000!" Little Merlin felt his liver hurt when he shouted the price …
"800,000!"
As soon as Reuben Saruman raised the price, everyone present was completely convinced. This guy was really a madman. He didn't even frown when he threw out 800,000 gold coins. This was definitely a sky-high price! So what if this was the Arcane Magic Potion? With 800,000 gold coins, even if he were to throw money at it, he would be able to throw out 10 level-five mages …
"…" Little Merlin felt his vision go black and he almost spat out a mouthful of blood. This guy was really a madman. He really did not even have the strength to speak now. He just raised his arm with difficulty, holding on to the last glimmer of hope, and uttered a price with difficulty, "Eight … Eight hundred and twenty thousand …"
"You win."
