However, everything that happened through the Origin Potion was carried out in a strange dream, and everything only existed in one's imagination. However, the experience gained in the dream could be realized in reality, and the understanding of nomological power was the same as in reality.
"1,200,000!"
Prince Hilary from the Ledin Kingdom was competing with Tedya again. It seemed that his purpose of coming today was to make Tedya unhappy.
However, this time, before Tedya could make a new bid, another guest in the VIP room made a bid of 1,500,000.
The people downstairs were already dumbfounded. The price of the potion that started at 500,000 had shot up to 1,500,000 in the blink of an eye. Even though they had a large influence in the Breezy Plains, 1,500,000 gold coins was still not a small amount. Besides, it seemed that 1,500,000 gold coins was not the final price. There would definitely be a huge increase in the price.
"2,000,000!"
To everyone's surprise, the person who made such a bid was actually sitting downstairs in the back row of the hall. Everyone looked behind because the last two rows of seats were empty, and the person who made the bid was sitting in the middle of the last row. There was no one on the left, right, or front row, and he was the only one sitting there alone. His large hood hid his face in the shadows, and no one could see his face at all.
William accompanied Lin Li and sat in the VIP room, but the last row was at the foot of the VIP room. Hence, even he had no way of knowing who made the bid.
It was impossible for the bid of 2,000,000 to shock everyone, but the problem was that the person who made the bid was actually sitting in such a strange position. The seating arrangement of the entire auction was based on strength and status. Those who could sit in the VIP room were the representatives of powerful forces. For example, the Dark Blade was publicly recognized as the top 10 bandit groups in the Breezy Plains. They had three Legendary powerhouses and the support of the Darkness Shrine. There was also Prince Hilary of the Ledin Kingdom, the representative of the Glittergold Trade Union, Castellan Arathor of Roland City, and so on.
As for the seats downstairs, since it was an auction, the ones who were seated at the front were naturally those who were more powerful and influential, such as Sienna, who was currently at the peak of Roland City, and the Wolf Brotherhood of the Eastern Plains. The further they went, the weaker they would be, and their status would naturally be lower. The bearded captain of the Angora Mercenary Group did not even have the courage to compete fairly with the Worf Brotherhood, and the difference in strength was obvious.
So, what kind of extraordinary person could be sitting in the last row?
"2.2 million!" Tedya gritted his teeth as he looked downstairs.
As a necromancer, Tedya's desire to learn magic beyond his level was even stronger than the average mage's. Although the Dark Blade had the support of the Darkness Shrine, and there were places for them to learn Necromagic, the danger of learning Necromagic beyond their level was definitely ten times or even a hundred times greater than that of a mage. The backlash of an Undead Spell was a direct destruction of the soul, it was far more painful than a physical backlash.
"Two million four hundred thousand!" The mysterious man's voice sounded again, calm and emotionless.
"Bang!"
Tedya slammed the railing with both hands, and stood up angrily. "Mr William, as the organizer of the auction, shouldn't you verify the bidder's ability to pay now?"
Actually, Tedya's request was not too much. If anyone could come in and bid recklessly, there would be no fairness in the auction at all. Not being able to fork out a single cent would result in the continuous bidding, and the final bidder would end up spending more money for nothing. Such a phenomenon was actually common in some small-scale auctions.
William smiled bitterly, and stood up helplessly. He apologetically said, "President Felic, I'm really sorry. Please excuse me for a while." Not everyone had the courage to spend millions of gold. Hence, regardless of whether it was true or not, he still had to make the trip personally.
William did not waste much time. Not long after he left, he walked up to the main stage, and announced to everyone that he had verified the mysterious man's ability to pay, and that the auction would continue.
Tedya's face grew sullen. Since William said that the other party had the ability to pay, he definitely had the ability to do so. Although he was said to be the most likely successor, he knew very well that 2,000,000 gold coins was already more than what he could handle. Besides, he had previously bid for the Sparks Blue Stone Ring at a price of 850,000 gold coins.
The auctioneer had already shouted for the second time, and the hammer in his hand was raised high as if it was going to fall at any moment.
"2,600,000!" Tedya shouted through gritted teeth. However, he felt very conflicted, and he couldn't seem to be happy regardless of whether the transaction was successful or not. If the transaction was successful, he would be able to sell his underwear for 2,600,000 gold coins. However, if the transaction was unsuccessful, he would lose the rare opportunity to quickly improve his strength, even though he would be able to save the gold coins.
"3,000,000!"
It was that mysterious man's bid again. The entire hall fell silent, and Tedya slumped back into his chair. 3,000,000 gold coins was far beyond his ability.
The auctioneer's hammer fell heavily, and the Origin Potion concocted by Wilkinson was finally sold at a sky-high price of 3,000,000 gold coins. This crazy reality shocked everyone. In their memory, there didn't seem to be any potion that could be sold at such an exaggerated price. This price had definitely broken the record of the Time Consignment Store.
That was the only name that came to everyone's mind. They believed that after today, his name would definitely spread throughout the entire Breezy Plains. A potion that was sold at a sky-high price of 3,000,000 gold coins was probably not sold at such a terrifying price in the entire Anril.
After a long period of silence, the hall suddenly erupted like a volcano. Everyone clapped their hands and stood up, because they had witnessed the birth of a great record. The applause was for the Time Consignment Store, William, the senior pharmacist Wilkinson, and the mysterious buyer. They were the ones who had created such a record together.
However, William, who was on the stage, looked very calm, and didn't seem to be very happy about the birth of this record. As the applause continued for a long time, William stretched out his hands and gestured for everyone to be quiet. He said, "Thank you for your support, everyone! Thank you! However, the auction is still going on, and the auction item that will be displayed next will be even more exciting. "
Upon hearing this, everyone had no choice but to stop and return to their seats. They looked curiously at William, who was on the stage, and tried to guess what the more exciting auction item would be. What would be more exciting than the Origin Potion that was sold for three million? Everyone knew that there would be a mysterious auction item from the Elven Kingdom in this auction. However, looking at the record price of 3,000,000 gold coins, even the Elven Queen's crown wouldn't be able to fetch such a price.
William raised his head and glanced at the VIP room on the second floor. He didn't wait for his subordinates to bring up the auction item, but instead took out a sky-blue potion and carefully placed it on the stage with both hands.
Upon seeing William's actions, everyone below the stage, including the VIPs on the second floor, were confused. It seemed to be another bottle of potion, but what kind of potion could it be? It actually required William to host the auction personally. The Origin Potion had been sold for a sky-high price of 3,000,000 gold coins, and William didn't seem to have any special reaction. What kind of potion could be more valuable than the Origin Potion? Everyone's curiosity was piqued, and they waited quietly for William to introduce the potion.
"This potion was concocted by Mage Felic from the Tower of Dusk. The starting price is 1,000,000 gold coins. The auction begins now."
To everyone's surprise, William didn't introduce the potion at all. He didn't even mention the name of the potion, and only said that it was concocted by Mage Felic from the Tower of Dusk.
Everyone below the stage looked at each other. This was too incomprehensible. How could this be? Could it be that William had forgotten how to be an auctioneer because he hadn't picked up that little hammer for a long time!?
"This … Is Mr William joking with us?" someone exclaimed impatiently.
It was as if there were a million flies in the hall. Although everyone was speaking in a low voice, the whispers of nearly 2,000 people caused the entire hall to reverberate with buzzing sounds.
"Hey, did you hear that? Mr William said it was a mage. This potion that doesn't even have a name was concocted by a mage. This is too ridiculous."
"Where did this fella called Felic come from? Why haven't I heard of him before!?"
Many pharmacists were mages, as concocting potions was to harmonize the magical elements in the herbs. Having a keen sense of magical elements would be of great help in concocting potions. It was widely acknowledged that pharmacists had a higher social status than mages. Hence, when a mage really knew how to concoct potions, he would definitely be more willing to be addressed as a pharmacist. Humans were vain animals, and they liked to let others see their brightest side.
However, William's introduction made it very clear that the potion was concocted by Mage Felic. Putting aside Felic's background, why was he introduced as a mage and not a pharmacist? Not all mages were pharmacists. Hence, if this person was introduced as a mage, it was very likely that this person had nothing to do with pharmacists.
