This time, William didn't want to miss this opportunity. Although there was a possibility of working together, a partnership was completely different from a friendship. In order to convince Lin Li to participate in the auction, he talked about some of the items that would be auctioned at the auction in detail, such as rare magical materials, rare herbs, and excellent magical equipment.
"Last but not least, please allow me to hold back a little. The finale item of this auction is a mysterious item from the Elven Kingdom," William said mysteriously.
Lin Li knew that the auction held by the Time Consignment Store was actually very famous in the Breezy Plains. Even people from outside the Breezy Plains would often come to attend the auction. Lin Li had often heard his mages talk about it, but he had been away from Roland City for three months. He had been to the Scar of Death, the Dragon Mountains, and the Abyss of Tharlen. Hence, he didn't have the time to pay attention to the auction.
Although he was still very busy, the pharmaceutical business and the operations of the Tower of Dusk were already on the right track. Hence, he couldn't take the time to buy some items. Besides, Lin Li still remembered that he had bought a pair of daggers used by a Legendary assassin for Norfeller from the Time Consignment Store. According to Ujfalusi, that pair of daggers was made by the Immortal King. Hence, it was possible to get some good items from the Time Consignment Store. Hence, it shouldn't be a waste of his time.
Just as Wilkinson was about to use his identity as a pharmacist to force William to make things clear, Lin Li reached out to stop him. Smiling, Lin Li said to William, "How could I reject Mr William's personal invitation? Besides, I'm also looking forward to the mysterious item from the Elven Kingdom that you mentioned."
"Alright, I'll be waiting for you then." Seeing that everything had been settled, William got up and was about to leave.
"Mr William, please wait a moment." Lin Li didn't end the conversation there. Instead, he gestured for William to sit down again before saying, "Since Mr William has personally invited me to attend the auction, I have to show my gratitude. Coincidentally, I have some items here. Please arrange for them to be auctioned." With that, he took out bottles of potions from the Ring of Endless Storm and placed them on the table.
"These are …?" William asked in confusion.
"These are the potions that Wilkinson and the rest concocted for practice. However, you don't have to worry about the effects of these potions. These two silver-white potions are Sacred Essence Potions. These five are sky blue potions are Arcane Potions, and this potion is the Power of Achilles … "
Looking at the 20 potions on the table and listening to Lin Li's introduction, even William, who was used to seeing rare things, couldn't hide his astonishment. Although the potions of different colors had different effects, they all had one thing in common, and that was that Archmages or Sword Sages would definitely be willing to pay all they had to purchase them.
However, President Felic actually said that the potions that could drive people crazy were just the usual practice products of Wilkinson and the other pharmacists! William of William was that Lin. Lin Lin to that that Lin Lin to of of Lin, he that that he, to Lin and Lin Lin to of of Lin to, of of of Lin, Be, Lin, to be, Lin, of of of of Li, and of the Lin of
Be it being forced to hand over the potion formulas or giving in on the issue of cooperation, all of the unhappiness that William felt disappeared at this moment. Looking at the potions on the table, Lin Li realized that this was the advantage of having the support of a pharmacist. The potions that were hard to get were just a by-product of the pharmacists learning pharmaceutics. Inside, Varian was even more determined to form a good relationship with the young President of the Tower of Dusk.
William was an appraiser, a businessman, and an old man who had passed his hot-blooded and impulsive phase. To him, being competitive and ruthless was something that belonged to young people. Not only would he not be able to reap any benefits, but he would also bring losses to his family. That was the most foolish thing to do.
It didn't matter if he gave in. As long as he could reap benefits in the end, it didn't matter if he gave in a little. William was certain that he would be able to reap a huge profit even if the Tower of Dusk were to act as the entrusted auctioneer, as long as they brought the potions to the auction, he would be able to reap a huge profit. Even if he could only collect the auction fees, or take a discount, or not take a single gold coin, the intangible gains from his reputation would be enough to make up for the part of the profits that he had to give up.
"Rest assured, President Felic. Under our management, these potions will definitely be sold at a price that will not be a disgrace to them," William assured Lin Li solemnly.
"Mr. William, I wish us a successful cooperation." Lin Li smiled and stood up to send him off.
In the next few days, the representatives of the various forces who waited in the hall of the Tower of Dusk all day long discussed the purpose of William's visit. Some people said that William was also eyeing these senior pharmacists. After all, they had a high status in the Breezy Plains, and it wouldn't be strange for them to be personally received by the owner of the Tower of Dusk. Such speculation made them feel that time was running out, because none of them had the confidence to win the competition with William.
A few days had passed since William's visit, and it was almost time for the auction that William had mentioned. Lin Li decided to take this opportunity to relax his tense nerves and see if he could get some good stuff.
Previously, Lin Li had organized a potion competition, and Wilkinson had agreed to bring the winner to the auction. Hence, Wilkinson naturally got a spot. Several senior pharmacists, including Wilkinson, as well as the two Undead servants, Ujfalusi the Lich and Norfeller the Vampire, set off for Roland City with a team of people.
It had been almost a year since Lin Li last came to Roland City. Actually, there wasn't much to be sentimental about. In Lin Li's opinion, the changes in the cities of this world were too slow. Back then, before he transmigrated, the city really changed every day.
Roland City was one of the most prosperous cities in the Breezy Plains, and was also known as the granary of the Breezy Plains. Lin Li recalled that he had spent a lot of effort in order to obtain a million gold coins worth of food the last time he came here. He had saved the son and daughter of the castellan of Roland City, subdued the Lich Ujfalusi, and even met the fanatical female Paladin. Lin Li hoped that he wouldn't meet such a simple-minded person again.
"Hello, you must be President Felic from the Tower of Dusk. Our boss, Master William, instructed me to welcome you here," a man suddenly said respectfully as he approached Lin Li and the others.
"Oh, it's Mr. Brook. Sorry to have kept you waiting." Lin Li saw that the person in front of him was Brook, who had sold him the pair of daggers at the Time Consignment Store.
Brook hurriedly said, "You're too kind, President Felic. Our boss has already arranged accommodations for you and your companions. Please follow me."
As William didn't know which day Lin Li would arrive at Roland City before the auction, he got Brook, who knew Lin Li, to stand guard at the city gate for the next few days lest he left a bad impression on Lin Li due to his rudeness.
After Lin Li and the others entered the city gate, Brook, who had been waiting for many days, immediately recognized the young mage as the one who had used the Glittergold Trade Union's VIP crystal card to buy the daggers. Previously, he heard from his boss that this young mage was actually the owner of the Tower of Dusk, which had recently become a hot topic in the entire Breezy Plains. Brook couldn't help but secretly rejoice that he hadn't offended the young President of the Guild of Magic previously.
Although he was just an insignificant figure, Brook also liked to pay attention to the affairs of the various forces. Hence, he was naturally no stranger to the gathering of the various forces in the Breezy Plains. Initially, he was also hoping to see the Tower of Dusk in a predicament after the high-level potions were poached away.
However, now that he was the owner of the Tower of Dusk and the owner of the Glittergold Trade Union's VIP crystal card, Brook knew who he was going to see make a fool out of. The Tower of Dusk was a newly established Guild of Magic. Even if it had the Malfa Family behind it, it wouldn't be able to intimidate all the forces in the Breezy Plains. However, who would have thought that the owner of the Tower of Dusk was actually a VIP of the Glittergold Trade Union?
Given Lin Li's status, it was no wonder that his boss had repeatedly reminded him not to be rude. At the thought of this, Brook's attitude towards Lin Li became increasingly respectful.
Originally, Brook had already prepared a luxurious carriage at the side, and was prepared to bring Lin Li and the others to their resting place after receiving them. However, the few young mages in the other party's team insisted on walking over to take a look at the scenery of Roland City.
After all, Wilkinson and the other senior pharmacists were the targets of many forces, and they were like superstars in the Breezy Plains. Hence, they all changed into the attire of ordinary mages when they followed Lin Li out this time.
Although Brook was a little displeased, the few mages had come with Lin Li, after all. Hence, he had no choice but to agree to give up on taking the carriage, and let the carriage follow behind them slowly while he led the way to the direction of the accommodation that had already been arranged.
Roland City was as lively as ever, but in the eyes of Lin Li, who had seen crowds before, the bustle seemed too insignificant. On the other hand, Wilkinson and the others looked around excitedly like country bumpkins who had entered the city. It was extremely embarrassing.
