In fact, Roland City might not be much more prosperous than Alanna. In fact, it might even be inferior to Alanna in many aspects. However, the unique Dark Age architectural style of Roland City piqued the interest of Wilkinson and the rest.
The Dark Age architectural style could be seen in Doland City too. However, Wilkinson and the rest were attracted by Professor Lin Lichuan's pharmaceutics knowledge after they arrived at the Tower of Dusk, and basically didn't leave the Tower of Dusk at all. If it weren't for his hard work and dedication, he wouldn't have been able to achieve what he had today even if he was talented.
Wilkinson and the rest looked around curiously, while the two Undead servants ignored everything around them. Lin Li seemed a little bored, while Brook, who was in charge of reception, was a little worried.
Due to the appearance of a VIP crystal card from the Glittergold Trade Union, Brook still remembered the previous incident deeply, even though it had been a long time since they last met. He clearly remembered that Lasorick, the son of the castellan of Doland City, seemed to have some enmity with this President Felic at the Time Consignment Store.
Of course, Young Master Lasorick and his friend, Young Master Argus, would not be absent from this auction. If they were to clash, he wouldn't be able to afford to offend either side. If anything were to happen, he would be in deep trouble.
If one didn't want to offend either side, they would often end up offending both sides. If one wanted to please both sides, they would not be able to do so. Brook was just an insignificant person, and he knew that if something serious were to happen, he would definitely be thrown out. Hence, it was impossible for him to remain neutral.
Sneaking a glance at the bored President Felic, Brook made up his mind. He didn't have to pick a side or anything like that, but he just wanted someone to speak up for him if anything were to happen. That would be a form of preventive measures.
President Felic had a VIP crystal card from the Glittergold Trade Union, and was the President of the Guild of Magic. He had also recently received the support of a group of pharmacists. Even his boss, William, attached great importance to him, and personally visited the Tower of Dusk. Given how much the boss valued President Felic, he reckoned that his words would be very useful.
On the other hand, the dandy Lasorick relied on his castellan father, but in fact, he was incompetent and brainless. Even his boss didn't like him. As for his City Lord father, how could he compare to the Flashing Gold Trade Union?
"President Felic, you don't seem to be very interested in this street view. Why don't I introduce the auction to you in detail?" Brook said in a fawning manner.
Lin Lizheng felt bored, so he nodded and said, "Oh, then I'll have to trouble Mr. Brook to introduce me."
"It's my honor to introduce you to you, President Felic." Brook deliberately stopped in his tracks and bowed to Lin Li respectfully. He then continued to lead the way while introducing some of the details of the auction to Lin Li.
The scale of this auction was larger than the previous ones, and the auction was held in the Elven Theater in Roland City.
The Elven Grand Theater was a building from the Dark Age. It was also one of the most perfectly preserved elven buildings after the war. Its architectural decoration was exquisite and luxurious, and it was something that modern humans could never imitate. The Elven Theater was very famous in the entire Breezy Plains and even the entire Felan Kingdom. It could be considered a landmark of Roland. In the Grand Elven Theater, there were two thousand ordinary seats and one hundred and fifty VIP rooms. Just from this alone, one could see the scale of this auction.
Perhaps some people would think that it was only two thousand seats. Even if they were all filled, how big could the scale be? However, it was not a concert, but an auction organized by the Time Consignment Store. Those who were qualified to sit in the ordinary seats were all powerhouses of their own regions. The leaders of small groups with 300 to 500 subordinates were not even qualified to buy standing tickets.
Indeed, it was impossible for the forces of the Breezy Plains to fill the 2,000 seats in the Elven Grand Theater. However, there were not many forces in the entire Felan Kingdom that met this standard. What about the Ledin Kingdom, which was on the other side of the border?
William humbly told Lin Li that his auction at the Time Consignment Store had some influence, but in fact, his influence covered almost all of the human countries.
Of course, not all forces would attend the auction every month. The Time Consignment Store would always prepare the catalog of the next month's auction items a month in advance, and then distribute it to the VIPs. If there was nothing that they were interested in, they naturally wouldn't have to come all the way.
Actually, according to the usual practice, the potions that Lin Li had given to William previously should only be auctioned at the next month's auction because they had already missed the time to register them in the catalog. However, the scale of the auction this time was unprecedentedly large, and basically all the VIPs would attend. Hence, it wasn't that important whether the items were registered in the catalog or not.
After hearing this, Lin Li couldn't help but admire William. Being able to manage the auction of the Time Consignment Store to such an extent was not something that could be achieved just by relying on one's exceptional judgment. The monthly catalog of the next month's auction items was definitely a brilliant move that could help him win over a group of loyal customers.
In fact, it wasn't necessary to have such an auction catalog to know what items would be auctioned next month. It wasn't like the forces couldn't afford to hire people, and they could just arrange for someone to keep an eye on the auction announcements. That was what many small and medium-sized forces did.
However, the auction catalog sent by the Time Consignment Store was no longer just a notice. It had gradually become a symbol of status. It was just like the VIP crystal card of the Glittergold Trade Union, and the membership cards of various industries in Lin Li's previous world.
Receiving such an auction catalog every month, regardless of whether there was anything that they were interested in, meant that the Time Consignment Store valued them and believed that they had the ability to bid for any of the items on the catalog. This was a form of respect that made them feel extremely comfortable. At the same time, they also enjoyed it when others came to ask them about the next auction, which made them feel a sense of superiority.
There were definitely not many people who could get an auction catalog. For this auction, there were 2,000 ordinary seats and 150 VIP rooms in the Elven Theater. Those who could get an auction catalog every month were qualified to sit in the VIP rooms. However, even if all of them were present, they wouldn't be able to fill up the 100 VIP rooms.
"President Felic, after Boss returned, he personally added your name to the VIP list. From now on, there will be someone sending the auction catalog to the Tower of Dusk every month," Brook said respectfully.
"Oh, please thank Mr. William for his kindness," Lin Li said politely. Lin Li said politely. Although it was something that he could do without, it was still a gesture of goodwill from the other party.
Finally, the group arrived at the place that William had arranged for them. It was actually a castle! Moreover, it wasn't just a castle that accommodated all the guests of the auction. Instead, Lin Li and his group had a castle to themselves. Although it was only a small castle, it didn't seem stingy at all. Instead, it gave off an exquisite and luxurious vibe.
"This is used by Roland City to entertain the members of the royal family. Because Boss knew that there would be many of them, and that it would be inconvenient for them to stay in ordinary inns, he borrowed this place from Castellan Arathor. I hope you will have a good time in Roland City," Brook expressed William's painstaking efforts to Lin Li. As a subordinate, this was necessary.
Lin Li shook his head slightly. He thought to himself, This old man William is really good at making things difficult. He even borrowed a castle. How can I still have the cheek to cut him in terms of cooperation?
Although mages and pharmacists had a higher social status than the nobles, they were far inferior to the nobles in terms of enjoyment of life. This castle that was used to entertain the members of the royal family pursued the best enjoyment for the residents. In this aspect, everyone, including Lin Li, was like a country bumpkin.
After arranging for Lin Li and the rest to rest in the castle, and speaking on behalf of his boss, Brook bade farewell and left.
The auction was to be held the next day. After Lin Li and the rest toured the castle, Wilkinson couldn't sit still anymore. Although they had already seen most of the streets of Roland City on the way there, they still felt that it wasn't enough.
Lin Li sat there leisurely, drinking the so-called royal secret tea. The two Undead servants stood on either side of him, giving off a cold and gloomy aura. The maids in the castle didn't dare to take another step closer.
On the other side, Wilkinson and a few other pharmacists were gathered together, and they seemed to be mumbling something. In the end, Wilkinson walked towards Lin Li with a victorious smile on his face while his companions stared at him with sullen expressions.
"Wilkinson, try this tea. These nobles really know how to enjoy themselves," Lin Li said as he raised his cup.
"No, there's no need," Wilkinson hurriedly said as he waved his hands.
"Oh." Lin Li took two sips of the tea, and looked up to see that Wilkinson was still standing in front of him. He curiously asked, "What's the matter? What's the matter?"
Although Wilkinson was two years older than Lin Li, the pharmacists, including Wilkinson, were all in awe of Lin Li after the past few months of training, especially after being influenced by Lin Li's scolding and beatings.
