Chapter 658 Unexpected Appearance
"41,000 gold coins!"
"42,000 gold coins!"
"43,000 gold coins!"
"45,000 gold coins!"
Wow!
"There's still bidding going on. This one is already 10,000 gold coins higher than the first one!"
"What's the big deal? For these big families, 10,000 gold coins are nothing."
"This is not about gold coins. Can't you see that this is a fight between Hulton and Palmer?"
As a series of bids continued to be heard in the venue, other bidders could no longer sit still and began to discuss in low voices.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that at this point Palmer and Hulton were no longer fighting just for the potion, but were also competing secretly.
Especially the lords of the holy city on the second floor all knew what was going on.
As for Gervis, he was naturally very happy to see this scene. The more they argued, the more he would earn.
Thinking of this, Gervis suddenly touched his space ring with his fingers.
"The auction of the Holy Business is held once a month. If I want to auction these five potions next time, I will have to wait a month. By then, there probably won't be so many city lords coming in person, and the prices may not be so high. Why don't I take advantage of this opportunity to make some extra money?"
Gervis' mind was full of thoughts, and the more he thought about it, the more excited he became. So he turned his head to look at Adela, who was staring at Palmer and Hulton in front of her.
"Duke Edward, I'm so sorry, I need to go to the bathroom!"
"Well! Harry-san, go ahead!"
Edward naturally didn't care, his attention was now focused on Palmer and Hulton.
Then, Gervis left the second-floor booth and went to the bathroom.
…
"46,000 gold coins! Palmer, as long as you give this potion to our Golden Shield Family, our Golden Shield Family is willing to reduce the number of admissions to the academy by ten!"
Hulton finally gritted his teeth.
Although this amount of gold coins was not a big deal for the Golden Shield family, the problem was that Palmer looked like he was determined to fight him to the end, which made him, the lord of the Golden Shield Holy City, lose face.
And Hulton had an extremely important reason for purchasing this potion, and there was no way he would let it go!
When Edward asked to bid for the first one, Hulton knew Edward's character. Since he asked, he would not give up even if he was offered 100,000 gold coins.
So naturally, Hulton would not compete with Edward, and he could not win.
But at this time, most of the Holy City families had given up bidding for this last team. Hulton thought there would be no accidents, but he did not expect Palmer to keep bidding with him.
"Haha! Hulton, I'm bidding according to the auction rules. Even if you give up all 100 places, I still have to use gold coins to argue! How about you bid 100,000 gold coins? As long as you bid 100,000 gold coins, I promise I won't bid again!"
It would have been fine if Hulton did not mention the admission quota in public, but when he did, Palmer became furious and wanted to fight with Hulton to the end.
Warren's death clearly had nothing to do with the academy. He died in the Golden Shield family's own residence, but unexpectedly, Houston put the blame on the academy in the end.
Originally, with the strength of the Alliance Academy, it would not be afraid of the Golden Shield Family, but Houston brought the matter to the Alliance meeting and asked a group of holy cities to put pressure on the academy.
Over the years, the Alliance College of Higher Learning has been full of talented people and its strength has greatly increased. In fact, many holy cities have long intended to threaten the college, so the Alliance College of Higher Learning had no choice but to bow its head.
At this time, Hulton still wanted to use the Golden Shield Family to threaten Palmer, but Palmer was naturally not afraid.
Moreover, the Holy Alliance has just warned the academy, and now there is definitely no one who will help the Golden Shield Family anymore.
"you……"
Houston's expression finally changed, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and his aura suddenly expanded.
And Palmer was naturally not afraid of Houston. With a thought, a magic wand engraved with intricate runes appeared in his hand. The fiery red gem on the top of the magic wand was emitting circles of halo ripples visible to the naked eye.
"stop!"
Just when the two sides were about to fight, a clear and beautiful voice suddenly came from the entrance of the corridor on the second floor.
The owner of this voice was Lolita, the eldest daughter of the Sacred Trading Company. Lolita had already arrived, followed by two people, namely Manager Pedder and Alonso.
Following everyone's gaze, Lolita walked forward and came near Palmer and Hulton.
Afterwards, Lolita stopped talking and just stood there with a cold expression. Instead, Manager Ped stood in front with a warm smile on his face, bowed respectfully to the two of them, and then spoke.
"Duke Hulton! I don't know why you are making such a fuss. This is the auction site of our Holy Trading Company. Please give our Holy Trading Company some face!"
Although the Sacred Trading Company is not afraid of the Golden Shield Family.
But the Golden Shield Family is the top force in the alliance after all, unlike those Holy City forces at the bottom, so it is better not to offend them if possible.
Even though Houston's behavior today had disrupted the rules of the auction house, the main focus was still on appeasement.
"Ped, it's not that I don't give face to your Sacred Business today, but Palmer deliberately went against my Golden Shield Family. He thought my Golden Shield Family was easy to mess with!"
Of course, Houston knew that he was not in the right, but the Holy Continent has always spoken with strength, so he would definitely not admit defeat. Moreover, this matter now concerns the reputation of the Golden Shield Family, and he would not give in.
"Hulton, if you, the Golden Shield family, don't come to participate in the auction if you don't have gold coins! Since you have participated in the auction, the highest bidder wins! 47,000 gold coins, our academy is determined to get this potion!"
Palmer was naturally not afraid of Houston. He immediately responded sharply and raised the price again.
"Palmer, let me see today how powerful you, a six-star great magician, are!"
Houston's momentum suddenly exploded, no longer caring about the presence of Lolita and others. He drew his sword from his waist and was ready to take action immediately!
Faced with Houston's momentum, Ped was naturally unable to resist. He was directly oppressed by the momentum and his body became unstable and he took several steps back.
"Lord Hulton, please calm down!"
At this moment, Peder, who was retreating, was supported by a hand, and then he heard a cold voice from behind, which was made by Alonso!
Although Alonzo had no weapon in his hand, the aura he exuded was no less powerful than Hulton's, and it instantly entangled with Hulton's aura.
"Why, your Sacred Trading Company is also going to participate?"
Hulton's face suddenly looked a little ugly. He first looked at Alonso with a hint of vigilance, and then looked at Lolita.
"Duke Hulton, you and Dean Palmer are both top figures in the Holy Alliance. If a fight really breaks out, our Holy Trading Company headquarters will definitely suffer heavy losses!"
"My father is not here right now. If anything goes wrong, I won't be able to explain myself! So please be patient and let me solve it for you two!"
Lolita was not afraid of Houston's gaze at all, her expression remained cold, but her body moved.
Lolita walked slowly past Hulton and came directly to Palmer's side.
"Dean Palmer, I'm very sorry for the inconvenience I caused you today!"
"Master Kelwin, I have a potion here, can you identify it for me?"
At this time, everyone was staring at Lolita, wanting to see how she would resolve the conflict between the two sides today.
What confused everyone was that Lolita only said one sentence to Palmer and then shifted her attention to Kerwin.
Then Lolita took out a potion from the storage space and handed it to Kelwin.
"Top-grade magic power recovery potion? Miss Lolita, you should be able to tell it yourself. Why do you need me to identify it?"
Kerwin was a little confused.
"Master Kelwin, please identify it first, because I think this potion may be a little unusual!"
Lolita did not say it directly, but continued to ask Kerwin to identify it, and she took out a crystal container from the space storage space.
"good!"
Kelwin's enthusiasm for magic potions made him no longer refuse. He also wanted to know what was so unusual about this potion.
So Kelwin took the crystal container that Lolita handed him, then opened the potion and poured a drop into it.
After pouring out the potion and capping it, Kelwin put the drop of magic recovery potion into his mouth, then closed his eyes and began to sense it carefully.
And after Kerwin closed his eyes, no one knew what Lolita was trying to do.
Aren’t we supposed to resolve the conflict between Palmer and Hulton now? How does it have anything to do with this magic potion?
But this doubt did not last long before it was interrupted by what happened next.
The next moment, Master Kelwin, who had closed his eyes and sensed carefully, suddenly shuddered all over, as if he had made some extraordinary discovery.
Seeing this situation, Lolita's originally calm expression finally changed, and a little light flashed in her beautiful eyes.
"It's actually the same preparation method as agreed upon... Miss Lolita, who is it, who prepared this potion, does your Sacred Company know his identity?"
Kelwin suddenly opened his eyes, looked at Lolita in disbelief, and asked her anxiously.
Wow!
"What's going on? Is that potion also some kind of magical potion? How is this possible?"
“But why is Master Kelwin so excited? His expression is exactly the same as when he was identifying the potion to increase mental strength on the platform just now!”
Seeing Kelwin's reaction, everyone except Lolita and Pedder was extremely surprised, and they all looked at the light blue magic recovery potion in Kelwin's hand.
This potion is certainly not a magical potion, but one of the eighteen top-grade recovery potions prepared by Gervis.
The reason why Kelwin was so excited was that the degree of fusion of this potion was almost exactly the same as that of the potion that increased mental power.
Such a perfect degree of fusion is something that other pharmacists cannot achieve, so Kelwin has concluded that this top-grade magic recovery potion and the potion for increasing mental strength are likely to have been made by the same pharmacist.
Kerwin, who wanted to become a disciple, was naturally very excited about this.
"Master Kelwin, please don't get excited. Our Sacred Business bought these potions a few days ago. There are eighteen of them in total. However, our Sacred Business does not know the true identity of the pharmacist who sold them."
Lolita then told Kerwin the origin of the potion.
In fact, when she took out the potion for Kerwin to taste, it was just a guess and a bet. She couldn't be sure in advance that the potion was really related to the mysterious pharmacist.
But now that it has been confirmed, today's matter will be easier to handle.
"well!"
Upon hearing that the Holy Trading Company did not know the identity of the mysterious pharmacist, Kelwin's original excitement disappeared in an instant and turned into extreme disappointment.
He had just identified this potion himself, so the Holy Merchants did not know the identity of this mysterious pharmacist beforehand.
As for now, whether or not the Holy Company knows the identity of the mysterious pharmacist or has any clues, they will definitely not tell him.
"Master Kelwin, I'm very sorry. Our company really doesn't know the identity of that pharmacist. However, I will give you half of the 18 potions he sold to the Holy Company. Can you persuade Dean Palmer?"
"Yes, I don't know the identity of the mysterious pharmacist, so I might as well take these potions back and study them myself!"
After hearing Lolita's words, Kerwin reacted, his eyes lit up again, and then he looked at Palmer.
“Dean…”
"well……"
Palmer naturally knew what Lolita and Kerwin meant. He thought for a moment with a serious face, and finally sighed.
"Since Miss Lolita has dealt with it this way, I will give face to the Holy Company for Kelwin's sake!"
"Thank you, Dean Palmer!"
Lolita nodded, then took out eight potions, four each of fighting spirit and magic power recovery potions and handed them to Kelwin.
Kelwin naturally did not hesitate. He was even happier to see that there were actually two types of potions. He immediately took the remaining eight, and in total he got nine of the top-quality recovery potions configured by Gervis.
"Thank you Miss Lolita. If you meet the mysterious pharmacist in the future, please help convey my words on the podium! I, Kerwin, always keep my word!"
"Okay! Master Kerwin!"
Lolita nodded seriously and said nothing more.
"Duke Hulton, 48,000 gold coins! The potion will be delivered soon!"
When Lolita returned to her original position, she said something lightly to Houston, then she bowed slightly to the people around her and walked towards the front of the corridor.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the second potion was bought by the Duke of Hulton for 48,000 gold coins!"
Following the announcement from the host below, Hulton's expression brightened slightly, and he sat back in his seat without provoking Palmer again.
After all, it was Palmer who made the concession today, and even though Palmer did not lose face, the potion was given to him.
Although he paid 13,000 gold coins more than Edward, he gained face from the Holy Trading Company and achieved his goal of buying the potion.
The people around finally reacted at this time. They didn't expect that the mysterious pharmacist had actually prepared other ordinary medicines. Everyone began to think about it.
In particular, the Holy Company was the party that had the closest contact with the mysterious pharmacist besides Adela.
Everyone was wondering why they not only had to send people to keep an eye on the Sky City, but also had to keep an eye on the movements of the Sacred Trading Company.
Because now this mysterious pharmacist has become a famous pharmacist!
…
From now on, if nothing unexpected happens, the auction will be declared over after Edward pays all the gold coins.
But at this moment, an accident happened.
I saw a servant running hurriedly down the corridor on the second floor.
Lolita, who was walking forward, was walking face to face with the servant. Seeing the servant running anxiously, she couldn't help but ask in a deep voice: "What's going on?"
"Ms. Lolita, a customer just asked me to give this magic card to Miss Adela, and asked me to ask the steward not to end the auction yet! He said this is a very important matter!"
Thanks to the "Geek." (怪咖) boss for the reward!!!
