Tedya's face darkened, and he knew that competition was inevitable. He had originally planned to take advantage of the situation, but now, he had no choice but to prepare himself.
"130,000 …"
"1,400,000!"
Tedya shouted a new bid, but he was interrupted by another voice before he could finish his sentence. His breath was stuck in his throat, unable to go up or down, and he almost suffered an internal injury from holding it in.
Damn it, damn it! Why am I in a daze? That's a potion concocted by Mage Felic! Robio cursed himself inwardly as he hurriedly called out a bid.
As the person in charge of the Glittergold Trade Union in the Breezy Plains, Robio clearly remembered that his boss, Hoffman, had solemnly instructed them to get the potions that Mage Felic had personally concocted, regardless of the effects or the price.
Of course, Robio knew that his boss, Hoffman, was not only the owner of the Glittergold Trade Union, but also a true pharmaceutics Master. Hence, be it out of obedience to his boss or trust in a pharmaceutics Master, Mage Felic's standard in pharmaceutics was not something he could doubt.
"150,000 …"
"1,600,000!"
Tedya was on the verge of vomiting blood. Damn it, you're such a bully! Will you die if you keep bidding after I'm done? However, he had learned his lesson this time, and immediately changed his words after being interrupted. He followed the example of the other two, and directly increased the bid by 200,000. "1,800,000 …"
"2,000,000!"
The Glittergold Trade Union would never be unable to get anything they wanted at the auction. Although Robio was not spending his own money, he had no qualms about spending it since his boss, Hoffman, had instructed him to do so.
Upon hearing the 2,000,000 bid, Tedya took a deep breath, and turned to his follower beside him. "Do you think the Masters will agree with me if they know about this?" The amount of money he had at his disposal was no longer enough to compete with the other two. If he wanted to get the potion, he could only rely on the support of the Dark Blade.
"This … If we can get Master Sendros's favor through this potion, I think the three Masters will agree," the follower answered after thinking for a while.
Although there were three Legendary powerhouses in the Dark Blade, they were just like children in front of Sendros. They didn't even have a place to stand. The Dark Blade and the Malfa Family had been fighting for many years, and the three Legendary powerhouses only had the ability to contend with the Legendary-mage Cheyenne of the Malfa Family after joining forces. It was obvious how great the gap between Legendary powerhouses was.
Hence, Tedya wasn't the only one who couldn't bear to give up the opportunity to please Sendros. The three Legendary powerhouses definitely wanted to seize the opportunity too. Tedya spun the ring on his finger twice, gritted his teeth, and said, "2,400,000!"
"2.8 million!"
"Three million!"
Tedya's body swayed uncontrollably. His heart was filled with grief and indignation, but he had no one to express it to. He had calculated for a long time before finally making up his mind to continue bidding, but the other two didn't even slow down.
The entire auction hall was silent. No one made a single sound. Although the bidding voices of the VIPs upstairs weren't loud, they echoed clearly in the hall.
Are you kidding me? William isn't the only one who's crazy. Are these big shots crazy too? They know what that thing is, and yet they're still throwing money at it like it's nothing! Everyone was dumbfounded by the repeated bids, and it was as if they couldn't recognize the world anymore.
3,000,000! Isn't it gold coins? How did it reach 3,000,000 gold coins?! Master Wilkinson's Origin Potion was sold for 3,000,000 gold coins, which was already a record in the history of the Time Consignment Store. However, what's going on now? In the blink of an eye, the price of the nameless potion concocted by a nameless fella has actually reached 3,000,000 gold coins.
Damn it, who is this fella called Felic? How can a mage concoct a potion that's worth 3,000,000 gold coins? Could it be that these big shots have colluded to raise the price and put on a show to make fun of us poor fellas?
Sienna was a little regretful. He should've shown off more just now. Unfortunately, his hesitation caused him to miss the best opportunity to show off to Mage Felic. When it was 1,000,000 gold coins, he still had the right to make a bid. Now, he didn't even have the right to speak. Mage Felic was indeed Mage Felic. Look at how much these potions had been sold for. Just that Origin Potion and this unknown potion had already sold for six million gold coins! That was gold coins!
However, the big shots upstairs clearly didn't want to let go of the fragile people below.
"3,500,000!"
The bid was directly increased by 500,000 gold coins, but it wasn't from the three parties that had participated in the bidding just now.
Castellan Arathor of Roland City finally remembered that familiar name, and wondered where he had heard it before. Isn't that the magic teacher of my son and daughter!? Actually, he didn't know that Mage Felic had the ability to concoct potions, but the three parties obviously couldn't have colluded. Hence, even if he didn't know what the effects of the potion were, it wouldn't stop him from participating in the bidding.
Roland City was known as the granary of the Breezy Plains, and the wealth that Castellan Arathor had at his disposal was not inferior to that of the three parties that had participated in the bidding just now. Although the Dark Blade was also wealthy, Tedya wasn't even an official heir. In fact, he was the weakest one among them.
"3,800,000!"
Tedya gritted his teeth and bid again, but he sighed in his heart. Is this considered the ups and downs of life?
Tedya originally thought that he was the only one who knew the secret of the potion, and thought that he could use it to impress Sendros. Maybe Sendros would be happy and take him in as his student. Even if he didn't take him in as a student, Sendros could still give him some knowledge about Necromagic, which would definitely be more beneficial than drinking the Origin Potion. After all, Sendros was a Necromancer who was at the peak of the Legendary-realm.
However, looking at the development of the situation now, Tedya had a premonition that his beautiful wish was going to be dashed. He looked at the few people who were competing with him. They were the prince of the Ledin Kingdom, the person in charge of the Glittergold Trade Union, and the wealthiest castellan of the Breezy Plains.
Indeed, after Tedya placed the bid of 3,800,000, a new bid sounded in the hall just as he was catching his breath.
"4,000,000!"
Another new competitor joined the fray.
Damn it! Do you guys know what's going on? You want to be involved in everything just because you're rich!? Tedya gritted his teeth so hard that they almost broke. He wouldn't believe that so many people knew what the potion that Mage Felic concocted was.
"4,500,000!"
The rich and overbearing Robio raised the price by another five hundred thousand, wishing to use this large increase to scare off the other competitors. Although his boss, Hoffman, had instructed him to do so verbally, after all, 4,000,000 gold coins was not a small amount. If anything were to go wrong, he wouldn't be able to bear the responsibility of such a huge sum of money as the person in charge of a small region.
After all, he had to be careful when spending other people's money. Robbio didn't expect the price to rise to such an extent, either. Hence, he had to think carefully about how things would develop in the future. Actually, his worries weren't unreasonable, because he didn't know anything about potions at all. Besides, William didn't even tell him the name of the potion, let alone its effects. He didn't know the effects of the potion, and how to judge its value. Did he really not care about whether he made a profit or not just because of what his boss had said?
Unlike Robbio and Tedya, Castellan Arathor obviously didn't have the same concerns. As long as it was within his budget, he would have the final say on how much he spent. Of course, he couldn't ignore the premise that he could afford.
"5,000,000 gold coins!"
Arathor played the same trick and raised the bid by 500,000 gold coins. He thought to himself, You're still not going to back off now? I only hope that the potion is really worth the price.
The entire hall was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop. Everyone was dumbfounded, as if they had been petrified. Damn it, I thought that William and these big shots had gone crazy, but it turns out that I'm the one who has gone crazy in the end. This illusion is too f * cking real, and I can't wake up from it no matter what.
Actually, before the auction, the people sitting downstairs were a little dissatisfied with William's arrangements. After all, they were people who dominated a region, and the forces they controlled were also ranked among the top in the Breezy Plains. Although they couldn't compare to these big shots, the difference shouldn't be too big.
However, why were there only a few forces who could use the VIP rooms? There were many VIP rooms upstairs, but almost half of them were empty. With their abilities, it shouldn't be a problem for them to sit in the worst VIP room. Anyway, it would be empty anyway. But now, even if William had arranged a VIP room for them, they wouldn't have the cheek to sit in it.
Not to mention sitting in the VIP room, just sitting in the hall and listening to the despairing bids was a form of torture for them. They no longer considered whether the potion was real or fake, and only hoped that the auction would close as soon as possible so that they could end this unbearable mental torture.
5,000,000 gold coins had already been raised, and 6,000,000 gold coins wouldn't be far away! Master Wilkinson's Origin Potion had a starting price of 500,000 gold coins, and was sold for a sky-high price of 3,000,000 gold coins. The nameless potion had a starting price of 1,000,000 gold coins, and the final price of 6,000,000 gold coins should be about right.
