Chapter 656: The potion auction has begun!
When Gervis came to the booth where Edward and Adela were, he did not choose to sit next to Adela, but sat next to Edward.
"Harry, I heard from Adela that you followed Adela and the others to the wizard's tower in Nahum?"
Seeing that Gervis sat next to him very tactfully, Edward couldn't help but feel a little satisfied with Gervis.
After all, Adela is the apple of Edward's eye. He is afraid of dropping her if he holds her in his hands, and afraid of melting her if he holds her in his mouth.
If Gervis showed any improper thoughts about Adela, Edward would definitely be more or less hostile.
Another thing is that after sitting next to him, Gervais was very calm and composed.
This shows that the young man in front of him is mentally capable. If any other young man sat next to him, he would definitely be timid.
The strong always like the strong, even if it is just spiritual strength, it can be recognized.
"Yes, Duke Edward, I was a wild mage at first, and it was Lachi who hired me to accompany him to the Sunset Forest!"
Gervis's tone was respectful but not humble, and there was no hint of restraint in his voice. He simply answered in the tone of one addressing an elder.
"Well, Harry, where are you from?"
Edward nodded in satisfaction at Gervis's tone and attitude.
At this moment, Edward's tone was like that of a real elder chatting with his granddaughter's classmates, without the aura of a top powerhouse in the alliance.
Of course, he didn't ask this question casually.
The results of the investigation into Gervis' identity have been sent back from the Holy City of Heka, but the strange thing is that except for Harry's whereabouts in the Holy City of Heka, there is no information about his past.
Now that Harry is so close to his granddaughter, Edward might as well ask him about it for her safety.
Edward believed that no one could lie in front of him.
"Duke Edward, I actually grew up on an overseas island on the west coast. When I met my mentor, he took me all the way to the Holy City of Heka."
"Because we are wild mages, we are all careful to hide ourselves! A few months ago, my mentor accidentally disappeared in the Sunset Forest, so I had to come out and look for a job!"
As for the identity issue, Gervis had already thought of a solution.
Technology is not well developed in this world. If you want to confirm the authenticity of a person's identity, you can only find where he lives, because as long as he has lived there, there must be traces of life and familiar people.
At that time, we can follow the traces of life to find out a person's background.
And it is naturally impossible for Gervis to say that he has lived in the Holy City of Heka since he was a child. Otherwise, if he asks the people around him, he will definitely be exposed.
However, it is different with overseas islands. Some islands are not within the sphere of influence of the Holy Alliance, so it is very difficult to investigate them.
So Gervis gave such an excuse. Even if Edward found out the problem in a short time, it would be impossible.
And when Gervis said this, he remained calm and did not panic or dodge in the face of Edward's gaze.
"Hmm, so it's an overseas island! I heard that it's not easy to live on an overseas island, and you'll often encounter attacks from sea creatures."
Edward nodded, not sure whether he believed what Gervis said.
"Grandfather, Harry, stop chatting! The potion auction has begun!"
Just when Gervis was about to say something in agreement, Adela suddenly interrupted their conversation and greeted them excitedly.
After hearing Adela's reminder, Gervis and Edward also turned their attention to the platform in front of them.
"Ladies and gentlemen, today's auction has come to an end. I believe everyone has been looking forward to the last item for a long time!"
"Then let our maid bring up today's finale!"
The host's expression was slightly excited, and his words were even more inspiring.
As he finished his words, two beautiful female attendants in the audience once again carried the tray and carefully walked onto the stage.
At this moment, all the thousands of people present sat up straight, staring at the trays in the hands of the two maids.
At this time, there were two exquisite small wooden boxes on the tray.
When the maid put the wooden box on the display stand, the host followed closely and came to the side of the wooden box with an excited look on his face!
Then the host reached out and opened the two wooden boxes himself, and then the light green potion like green crystal in the wooden boxes appeared in front of everyone.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the finale item that everyone has been waiting for - a potion that permanently increases mental strength!"
"Although everyone has heard about it before coming here, I still need to explain it to you in detail!"
"I believe everyone knows about the Alliance Academy's magic shield that suddenly opened a while ago!"
"And the reason why the Alliance Academy opened the magic circle that had not been opened for two hundred years was for this potion that permanently increases mental power!"
Following the host's words, most of the people present, including the sacred city lords, could not help but turn their eyes to a seat on the second floor.
The person sitting in that seat at that moment was the six-star grand mage Palmer, the dean of the Alliance Academy of Higher Learning!
Palmer's face looked a little ugly at this moment. It was not because he was being watched by so many people, but because the academy missed the person who prepared the potion. Even offering the title of elder did not make the mysterious pharmacist show up. This was a huge loss for the Alliance Higher Academy.
There was another person sitting next to Palmer, who was the master of potions, Kelwin, the first person to discover the existence of potions that increase mental strength.
Kelwin's face looked very ugly at this time. After Weldon discovered the existence of this potion, he started to study it day and night. Now this dignified magician looked extremely haggard.
Although the host worked very hard to demonstrate the effectiveness of the mental potion, he did not dare to let the crowd continue to watch Palmer and Kerwin, fearing that the two would explode.
So the host changed the subject and continued to explain.
"Although the identity of the mysterious pharmacist has not been found out yet, the potion in my hand is the real potion that can permanently increase mental strength!"
"These two magical potions come from Miss Adela, the pearl of the Sky City. It is said that the mysterious pharmacist entrusted her to send them to our Sacred Business for auction!"
"And the authenticity of this potion has also been verified by the chief pharmacist of Sky City, Mage Bedford!"
"Of course, for such a magical thing, I'm afraid that everyone will not easily believe one side of the story, so our Holy Company specially invited the Kelwin Wizard to come on stage today to verify it again for everyone!"
"I believe that with the reputation of Wizard Kelwin, everyone will not have any fun! Now please welcome Wizard Weldon to the stage!"
It can be said that the Sacred Bank was able to offer a high price for the potion and had made sufficient preparations to satisfy the mysterious pharmacist.
I went to the Alliance College of Higher Education two days ago to discuss with Kelwin, hoping that he could conduct on-site testing of the potion at the auction!
Because Kelwin the Mage's reputation as a master of potions is known throughout the league, and his credibility is also excellent. With his certification, I believe that the last bit of doubt among the bidders can be eliminated, and the potion can be auctioned at a higher price, making a good start.
As the host finished speaking, Kerwin, who was sitting next to Palmer on the second floor, was shocked and finally reacted.
Then Weldon suddenly stood up and rushed towards the auction platform eagerly.
"Master Kelwin! The following potion test is now left to you!"
When Kerwin came to the podium, the host simply gave up his seat and let Welton stand in front of the stage.
At this time, the tools for testing the medicine had already been delivered, waiting for Kerwin to start testing directly.
Kelwin didn't say much after arriving at the platform, because all his attention was focused on the two potions.
The last bit of the potion was consumed that night, and Welton had gained nothing from his research on the potion during this period.
So when he received the invitation from the Holy Trading Company to test the potion, he accepted it without hesitation, just to try the potion again to see if he could gain more insights.
Wave!
Kelwin did not make any unnecessary moves and carefully opened the stopper of the potion bottle.
When the stopper of the potion bottle was opened, Kelwin trembled slightly as he smelled the fragrance that emanated from it, with an intoxicated look in his eyes.
"That's the taste! That's the taste!"
At this time, Kelwin had long forgotten that he was helping with the test, and instead devoted himself to the research of the potion. Smelling the familiar and tempting fragrance, Kelwin began to mutter to himself excitedly.
After a while, Kelwin finally took a deep breath, calmed his trembling arms, and then carefully began to pour a drop of light green liquid from the potion.
After carefully pouring out the potion liquid, Kelwin put the cork back on the bottle, then took the crystal container containing the drop of liquid without hesitation, and then closed his eyes.
Quiet!
At this moment, the auction hall was silent, so silent that you could hear a pin drop. Everyone stared at Kerwin's every move, waiting for Kerwin to announce the result in person!
Time passes by every second.
Thirty seconds, one minute, two minutes...five minutes!
For five full minutes, Kerwin stood motionless with his eyes closed and his head half tilted back, while the thousands of people in the auction hall also stared at him intently without moving.
No one is impatient and no one is rushing!
"Bedford is right! The potency of this potion is enough to allow a wizard who has hit a bottleneck to break through! This is a miracle!"
