Of course, there was another possibility, and that was that Felic's achievements in magic had already reached a level that ordinary people couldn't reach. For example, he was a Legendary-mage. However, Legendary-mages were usually addressed as Masters. Although it wasn't wrong to address them as Mages, it was still disrespectful, after all.
"The problem is whether he's a Legendary-mage or not, and what does it have to do with the potion being auctioned? Not all Legendary-mages are Masters of pharmaceutics."
"Yeah, why does his nameless potion have a starting price higher than Master Wilkinson's Origin Potion!? What potion did Master Wilkinson concoct? It's the Origin Potion that allows mages to learn five magic spells! "
The title alone was enough to confuse them, but the starting price of 1,000,000 gold coins made them feel like they had been fooled.
Damn it, no one's money comes for free. How much do I have to pay to earn that 1,000,000 gold coins? William, you don't look like you're crazy for putting up a random item with a starting price of 1,000,000 gold coins. You don't look like you're crazy for being poor. Everyone looked at William as if he was a lunatic. Who else would do such a thing?
The Origin Potion that had just been auctioned off at a sky-high price of 3,000,000 gold coins could allow one to learn five magic spells in one's dream. After calming down, everyone compared the effects of the potion with the potions they knew. Almost everyone who had some understanding of pharmaceutics came to the shocking conclusion that Wilkinson, the senior pharmacist, could probably be considered a Master. Even if he wasn't a pharmaceutics Master yet, he was probably close to it.
Even so, the starting price of the Origin Potion was only 500,000 gold coins. Now, the starting price of this nameless potion was actually twice that of the Origin Potion. The effects of the Origin Potion were already unimaginably magical. Could the effects of this nameless potion surpass that of the Origin Potion? Could it be that much more than the Origin Potion!?
"Hey, do you think this potion is really more effective than the Origin Potion?" Some people couldn't understand why a smart person like William would make such a mistake. The Time Consignment Store had hundreds of years of history. It was equivalent to smashing the credibility that he had painstakingly built up over the years with a hammer in this auction.
But that person's words immediately drew ridicule from the surrounding people. "Are you an idiot? Could it be that there's something better than the Origin Potion that allows people to skip levels and learn ten spells? Even if there was such a potion, it would probably be a Master-level potion. But will master-level potions be put up for auction? "
This could no longer be considered a question. Although no one knew the reason, the answer, or why William was going crazy, one thing was for sure: William was definitely going crazy.
"Damn it! Not to mention a million gold coins, even if I were to drink it for free, I wouldn't dare to drink it. Perhaps he doesn't even remember what he put into a potion concocted by a mage." The warriors were especially disgusted by the starting price of one million gold coins, because it was not as easy for them to make money as it was for merchants. Every gold coin was stained with the blood of others and themselves.
"No matter how I look at it, Mr. William doesn't look like a foolish person. Perhaps he did this out of consideration for someone's sake. Perhaps he set such a high starting price because he was afraid that someone would die after drinking the potion. That way, it would at most be unsold, and he would be able to answer to someone. "There were also people who analyzed the various possibilities rationally.
During the auction of Wilkinson's Origin Potion just now, Sienna was the first to bid and break the silence of the auction. However, although he was very clear that the Mage Felic that William was talking about was that extremely powerful young mage, he really didn't have the courage to jump out and break the silence again.
Hearing the discussions of the people around him, Sienna was sure that if he jumped out now, he would immediately become a fool in everyone's eyes. However, that wasn't the most important thing. Actually, it wouldn't matter even if he were to be a fool to please Mage Felic. However, the problem was what would happen after he bid?
A million gold coins was not a small amount, and Sienna knew that according to the current situation, he would definitely be in trouble if he made a bid. When bidding for the Origin Potion, at least the people around him were skeptical, and were stuck between believing and not believing it. As long as one of them made a sound, the balance would be easily broken.
However, after listening to what the people around him were saying, it seemed that they didn't even believe in William's credibility anymore. What use was there for him to make a bid? Who would dare to compete with him? Sienna didn't dare to take the risk. Although he had been developing well in the past year, it was still a million gold coins, after all.
The people in the hall downstairs were completely unable to maintain their composure in the face of such an absurd auction. They were discussing and mocking William as they prepared to see how this farce of William's was going to end. Although they didn't dare to offend William, they couldn't forget that there were still distinguished guests upstairs. Those were the real big shots. How would those big shots react if they found out that they had been fooled? William probably wouldn't be able to withstand their anger.
Reality was cruel. Don't be fooled by the fact that they were usually respectful and had a humble smile on their faces. Who knew if they were cursing you in their hearts while they were complimenting you? While they were congratulating you on your achievements, they might also be looking forward to your downfall in their hearts.
"Damn it, what the hell is William up to? Has he really gone senile?" Tedya hadn't gotten anything good in today's auction, and had been suppressing his anger for a long time. Although he had gotten a Sparks Sky Blue Stone Ring, Hilary had raised the price to a high price that completely exceeded the actual value of the ring. Then, it was the auction for the Origin Potion. God knew where that bastard came from, and he was sitting in the corner downstairs, but he actually bid a high price of 3,000,000 gold coins.
Just as Tedya was throwing a tantrum because of this auction, one of his attendants came over and whispered a few words in his ear.
Tedya's eyes immediately widened, and he turned to ask his follower, "Really? You should know the consequences of lying to me. "
The follower shivered, and nodded with certainty. He said, "It's absolutely true. After Master Sendros returned to the shrine, he told many people about this mage called Felic. He was very impressed with his pharmaceutical skills."
How could Tedya not know what kind of person Master Sendros was? He was the High Priest of the Darkness Shrine, and a Necromancer who had been in the Legendary-realm for many years. Besides, it was said that his attainments in pharmaceutics were not inferior to those of professional pharmacists. If even a person like Sendros was impressed with his pharmaceutical skills, then this person's pharmaceutical skills should be trustworthy.
Tedya could doubt William's credibility, but he definitely wouldn't doubt Sendros' judgment. This nameless potion should be worth 1,000,000 gold coins. However, he was very hesitant about whether he should bid for it, because he still didn't know what the effects of the potion were. William didn't mention anything about the effects of the potion at all. God knew if it was for mages or barbaric Warriors. The starting price was 1,000,000 gold coins. Even if no one bid for it, buying a potion that he couldn't use for 1,000,000 gold coins would make him a laughingstock.
"Sir, given Master Sendros's obsession with pharmaceutics, I'm sure he'll be very happy to receive such a gift," the follower whispered to Tedya.
Tedya subconsciously raised his eyebrows, and gave his follower an appreciative smile. He said, "1,100,000!"
"1,200,000!"
The two bids were heard downstairs almost at the same time. The people who were discussing endlessly suddenly felt as if their throats were being squeezed, and the hall once again fell into a strange silence.
Upstairs, Tedya, who had bid 1,100,000 gold coins, also had a sullen expression. He thought that he could finally get the upper hand in the auction with this piece of information, but he didn't expect that someone would go against him!
In contrast to Tedya's mood, Prince Hilary of the Ledin Kingdom, who was sitting diagonally opposite him in the VIP room, had a playful smile on his face. He had heard from his good friend, Englos, that Mage Felic had amazing attainments in pharmaceutics. That fella from the Dark Blade must have heard about it from Sendros.
As the prince of the Ledin Kingdom, Hilary had naturally believed in the doctrine of Holy Light since he was young, and had even specially cultivated in the Brilliance Shrine for a period of time. It was then that he became close friends with Bishop Englos, who was the most eccentric believer of Holy Light and befriended Necromancers.
Ever since Englos had gone to the Alanna Pharmacist Guild to participate in the pharmacists' exchange, he had often talked about how demonic Lin Li was, and how perverted his attainments in pharmaceutics were. Hilary had heard so much that his ears grew calluses. He had also planned to attend the auction this time, and that was to go to Doland to see what the perverted fella that Englos had been praising was like.
However, to Hilary's surprise, he actually encountered the potion concocted by Mage Felic at the auction. If he didn't bid for it, Englos would definitely blame him if he found out about it in the future.
A bid of 1,200,000 gold coins was nothing to the prince of the Ledin Kingdom, but it was an unexpected gain to make the Undead brat of the Dark Blade suffer a loss. Prince Hilary was in a good mood, and he leisurely sipped the wine in his glass while waiting for the other party to make a new bid.
