Lin Yun truly hadn't made a move.
Because the one who had made a move was Faleau. Faleau didn't even ask anything before slapping Jonathan silly.
He didn't care whether Jonathan was the butler of the Monchi family or not. He was already worried about how to make up for his mistake and mend his relationship with the future Master Alchemist. But now, Jonathan had delivered himself to his doorstep. With Cadgar's orders, how could Faleau place a mere butler in his eyes? He simply went up and gave him a slap.
"Mage Merlin, let's go up and sit first. Don't let this small matter affect your mood …" After cursing, Faleau put on a fawning smile. The speed at which he changed his expression was simply breathtaking.
"Yes, let's go …"
"Don't leave, don't leave, don't leave!" When Jonathan heard that the two of them were leaving, he immediately jumped up. "You want to leave after beating me up? Men, men, capture these two little bastards!"
"Shut up." Just as Jonathan was jumping up and down, the door to a private room suddenly opened, and Monchi came out. "Get the fuck up here, don't embarrass me."
Monchi's words immediately quieted down.
Jonathan, who had been jumping up and down a moment ago, was like a punctured ball. With a squeak, he went silent. After glaring at the two of them with hatred, he scrambled into Monchi's box.
"Sorry, Leader Monchi, I was a bit heavy-handed."
Faleau shouted from a distance, and Jonathan, who had just walked halfway, staggered and almost fell down the stairs.
"Look at what you've done to me!" After the door to the private room was closed, Monchi's face turned ashen. "Is that Faleau someone you can provoke? That is a young Alchemist that even Cadgar thinks highly of, yet you want to make things difficult for him? Are you too full? "
"I … I didn't, Master, I only saw that kid from the Merlin Family …"
"Shut up. Do you think you haven't caused enough trouble for me?" After reprimanding Jonathan, Monchi couldn't help but reveal a trace of doubt, 'But that brat from the Merlin Family, why is he together with Faelor, and it seems like they have a good relationship …'
"It's probably a coincidence. That Mafa Merlin's luck has always been good. It was the same in the Sage Tower. I don't know how he managed to form a relationship with Sauron, but he even chased me out of the library." Mason, who was sitting next to him, interrupted. When he spoke, it was obvious that he was gnashing his teeth.
Coming from a huge force like the Monchi Family, the number of times Mason had suffered a loss could be counted on one hand. But for some reason, he had been driven out of the Sage Tower's library, and after failing to cause trouble for the Gilded Rose, he had been forced to eat a glass bottle.
How could Mason take this lying down …
After returning from the Gilded Rose, Mason had been looking for an opportunity to retaliate. But who would have thought that after a conversation with his big brother, his father would actually forbid him from going back to the Gilded Rose. Now that he had finally met Lin Yun in the Black Horn Auction House, Mason immediately started thinking about how to retaliate.
"You still dare to mention the matter of the Sage Tower?" Monchi unhappily looked at Mason, but he didn't rebuke Mason's conjecture.
Because Monchi himself felt that these two youngsters should have met by chance. Maybe it was because they had similar interests, or maybe it was because of some conflict of interest. In any case, they had established a good relationship.
Otherwise, Faleau wouldn't have stood up for Mafa Merlin, and he definitely wouldn't have secretly arranged a box for him. After all, these boxes were reserved for the leaders of the major forces of the eastern part of the kingdom. Even if there were a few of them in this auction, they wouldn't be casually arranged for people to sit in them. If Cadgar found out, he would be reprimanded at best, and he might even be punished at worst. Faleau being willing to take this risk proved that the two of them had a good relationship.
But no matter how good it was, it was only a friendship between two youngsters. It wouldn't have much of an impact. If it wasn't for the fact that his butler was the one being beaten, Monchi wouldn't have bothered thinking about this matter.
Thus, after thinking about it for a bit, Monchi no longer bothered about this matter. He only said to Jonathan, "Alright, Jonathan, you don't need to put on such a pitiful appearance. After the auction is over, I'll look for Cadgar to have a chat. The butler of my Monchi Family isn't someone anyone can hit."
"Thank you, Master, thank you, Master …" Jonathan hurriedly bowed in gratitude. He was already planning in his heart. After the auction was over, if his master could step forward, then Cadgar most likely wouldn't interfere. At that time, those two youngsters would be able to humiliate them as they pleased.
As for how to humiliate them, there was no need to worry. There was still plenty of time to think about it.
Jonathan definitely didn't know that at this time, there was someone in the next box who was also thinking about the same thing.
"This Jonathan is truly reckless. He actually dared to disrespect Mage Merlin. After the auction is over, I'll definitely teach him a lesson!" After Faleau arranged for Lin Yun to sit down, he still couldn't forget about his unfortunate butler.
For Faleau, this was simply an opportunity that had been delivered to his doorstep. He had been worrying about how to curry favor with this future Master Alchemist, but Jonathan had suddenly appeared. This left Faleau somewhat speechless. Not to mention the fact that he had Cadgar's tiger skin, even if he didn't have it, he could still deal with a small butler in the Black Horn Auction House's territory. It couldn't be any easier.
It was such an easy matter, but he could curry favor with a future Master Alchemist. Was there any better business in this world than this?
At this time, Faleau even thought about it. When he dealt with Jonathan, he would definitely put in a lot of effort to let Mage Merlin see that he was very sincere and determined to make up for his previous mistake. Maybe when the time came, Mage Merlin would be happy and not only forgive him for his previous mistake, but he might even give him some pointers in the field of alchemy. That would be the pointers of a future Master Alchemist, it would be possible for him to reach the heavens in a single bound.
The more Faleau thought about it, the more excited he became. He couldn't wait for the auction to end so that he could go next door and deal with that Jonathan.
"Alright, Faleau, let's focus on the auction first." Faleau hoped that the auction would end as soon as possible, but Lin Yun didn't have such a thought. What a joke, he still hadn't gotten his hands on any of the four materials. Where would he find the materials for the Mana Baptism if the auction ended?
"Right, right, right, let's focus on the auction first …" Faleau had completely immersed himself in his role. He simply didn't need Cadgar's instructions. Whatever the future Master Alchemist said, he would focus on the auction.
As the two were talking, the auction officially started.
The auction was personally presided over by Cadgar, and the first item was an enchanted dagger from Oddrock City. It was called Hurricane Fang.
"Hurricane Tooth, the masterpiece of Oddrock City's Great Alchemist Andre. Three Wind Stones are embedded in it, and at the same time, a Wind Blessing is solidified within it. Not only can it greatly increase the wielder's movement speed, but it can also automatically cast a 5th Tier Wind Spell every minute. It's a rare quality item among Outstanding Magic Tools. The starting bid is 5,000 gold, and each bid cannot be lower than 500 gold."
Cadgar was worthy of being the Chief Auctioneer of the Black Horn Auction House. He only needed a few words to clearly introduce an Outstanding Magic Tool.
"5500 gold." As the first item of the auction, the price to performance ratio was relatively good. Thus, just as Cadgar's voice fell, someone in the venue raised their paddle.
"6000 gold!"
"6500 gold!"
"7500 gold!"
…
Naturally, there was definitely more than one person who knew what it was. In a short time, the price of Hurricane Fang reached over ten thousand gold, and it was ultimately won by a rich person from Oddrock City for 13,000 gold. It was said that he was planning on using it to pay his respects to Master Andre.
After the first Hurricane Fang was sold, Cadgar quickly auctioned off two more Magic Tools. Their quality was quite good, and even Lin Yun was somewhat moved by one of them. But being moved was just being moved, and there was no need for him to make a move. To the current Lin Yun, having more Magic Tools was meaningless. As long as he advanced to Great Mage, he would be able to get his hands on that several-hundred-meter-long Nether Iron Vein. At that time, he would be able to get as many Outstanding Magic Tools as he wanted. And if his plan went smoothly, he might even be able to write his name on an Extraordinary Magic Tool.
But Lin Yun didn't stay idle for long, because the 4th item was quickly brought up. This time, it was the Styx Water that Lin Yun had been longing for for a long time, one of the four materials he lacked for the Mana Baptism!
"The next item is a bottle of Styx Water from the Ghost City. There are many Alchemists here, and I believe everyone knows the value of this bottle of Styx Water. I won't waste any more time here, so the starting bid for the Styx Water is 10,000 gold, and each increment must be at least 1,000 gold."
"11,000 gold."
"13,000 gold."
"Fourteen thousand gold coins."
"Seventeen thousand gold coins."
…
Just as Cadgar finished speaking, bids began to rise in the auction house. The Styx Water, which started at 10,000 gold coins, quickly rose to 20,000 gold coins.
But Lin Yun wasn't in a hurry, because Lin Yun noticed that the bidding slowed down after 20,000 gold. In other words, in most people's hearts, this bottle of Styx Water was only worth 20,000 gold. Any higher and it wouldn't be worth it.
In this era, the only one who truly knew the value of Styx Water was Lin Yun. The current alchemy technology wasn't enough to unearth the true value of Styx Water. Let alone anything else, just the Mana Baptism would take at least a millennium to appear, not to mention those even more powerful formulas.
Thus, Lin Yun wasn't worried at all.
