Ron chuckled, "The development of my territory requires the support of rune magic, as well as the needs of some beast tamers..."
“That’s easy, Ron. I can give the order now, and someone will go back to inform the Empire’s people to come, along with some spellbooks of magic runes,” Field replied readily.
With the little time left, Ron chatted with Field for a while. Ron learned that the fairies wouldn't arrive for some time, and Field stayed behind in the meantime.
The guests were in high spirits, clinking glasses and enjoying themselves immensely.
After a brief banquet, Ron bid farewell to His Highness Prince Field.
In the original private room of the restaurant, only Field and his head maid Tess remained.
"Congratulations, Your Highness, on the birth of your dragon egg."
"This is all thanks to Viscount Ron. Let's go and support him."
Field didn't really care about anything other than the dragon eggs, but since he was there, he naturally had to take some pictures.
It was afternoon.
The auction has begun.
Inside the private rooms on the second floor, there were celebrities from all over the country, mostly from this kingdom, but also great nobles like Field who were capable of influencing the situation on the continent.
The first item up for auction is a master-level magical longsword crafted by a dwarven blacksmith.
The sword has earth and fire elemental runes, making it a magical sword that combines defense with continuous fire damage.
Dwarven artifacts are always of the highest quality, and the very first item was a master-level piece, instantly elevating the entire auction's overall level.
Inside the private room, Field closed his eyes slightly and said, "Lady Tess, take a look at the items being auctioned. If there's anything unusual, bid it at a high price."
"Yes, Your Highness."
In the Rich Empire, the head maid of the palace was also known as a palace lady-in-waiting.
As a prince, Fields habitually addressed someone as a lady-in-waiting.
Field's original intention was to produce more magic crystals, but there were still too few things that could be seen by the imperial ladies-in-waiting.
One item after another was sold.
Downstairs in the lobby, the adventurers were celebrating wildly, while the private rooms on the second floor were eerily quiet.
Finally, on the seventh item up for auction, the Thai silk was bid on.
"One hundred high-grade magic crystals."
One high-level magic crystal is equivalent to ten thousand low-level magic crystals or one hundred mid-level magic crystals. The empire's visitors really have a lot of magic crystals.
Each empire has countless magic crystal mines within its borders, and the mysterious elemental realms provide various other sources of income. This amount of magic crystals is nothing more than a drop in the ocean.
But in Ron's opinion from another private room...
Okay, another hundred high-level magic crystals for military expenses are in hand.
The original intention after holding the auction was to build a regular army for the territory, and the more magic crystals the better.
The seventh item, the Ice Crystal Lotus, a high-level level eight magic potion, was won by the VIP in VIP room number one.
With a single click of the auctioneer's gavel, the next item was auctioned.
By the time the eleventh item was auctioned, nearly half an hour had passed.
The eleventh item, after every ten, was the potion wine.
A bottle of potion wine in an amethyst bottle.
The waiter placed the tray on the auction table temporarily, and the auctioneer, Miss Kunna, introduced the specialties of Sandy Territory to everyone.
"The appraiser has rated it as a level 5 potion, but the main focus of the new wine auction is on its taste. I believe many of you here have enjoyed potion-infused meals, and this wine is even more effective when paired with them. Moreover, its aroma is intoxicating. Since you've come to the Sandy Auction, it's a must-have. The 21st item will also be potion-infused wine, and the 31st... There's enough new wine to give the attendees ample time to consider."
"Then, the starting bid for the Level 5 Sandy Territory Magic Potion is thirty mid-tier magic crystals..."
"Ten high-grade magic crystals!"
"The VIP in room number one has offered ten high-grade magic crystals. Are there any other bidders?"
...
Setting a high price directly requires the use of a sound transmission magic item. When the sound arrives at the scene, it is distorted due to elements and other reasons, which effectively hides Tess's voice and achieves the customer's goal of selling at a high price.
"No one bids higher. Okay, the eleventh item has been won by the VIP in room number one. Let's take a look at the twelfth item."
A waiter came up and took the potion from the amethyst bottle to private room number one.
Because Tess, representing Prince Field, intentionally sent the magic crystal, people's expectations for the magic potion were immediately raised.
A bottle of level-five magic potion is worth ten high-grade magic crystals! Good heavens, nobles are such spendthrifts! (?? ?)
However, the adventurers below could only sigh at the life of the nobles and couldn't help but want to taste the magic potion.
New potion wines are available, or after the auction, other ordinary new wines will appear in Sandy Territory.
The adventurers were all filled with anticipation.
Adventure is always accompanied by alcohol, and many adventurers are sunbathers, because no one can be sure whether the next adventure will go wrong.
So the price of new wine isn't the problem; the main thing is that it has to be good. If it's not good, I'll just buy a slightly inferior one.
In the auction hall on the first floor, under the watchful eyes of over a hundred adventurers, the potion was delivered to VIP room number one.
Prince Field's guards came out, and he then handed the wine to Lady Tess.
At that moment, Field's half-closed expression changed.
When you see a wine bottle, you unconsciously feel the urge to open it.
As an elementalist, Field, like other elementalists, always retains a trace of his spiritual power when he is outside.
"Is it wine? How many magic crystals did it cost?"
"The starting price was thirty mid-tier magic crystals, but Tess used ten high-tier magic crystals."
“Very good, this is not a disgrace to my royal family. From now on, raise the price of all potions for me. If I, Field, have drunk them, how could they be cheap? This will save us from being ridiculed by the other princes and princesses when we get back.”
"Yes, Your Highness."
"Open it, let this prince have a taste."
Tess placed the wine on the small table in front of her, and opened it with elegance and composure, displaying the etiquette of the imperial court.
The amethyst bottle, placed in a dimly lit auction room, reflected the brilliance of the amethyst, appearing elegant and tasteful, befitting an aristocratic item.
With the bottle cap half open, a rich aroma of wine wafted out.
Fine wine!
Several months have passed since the initial research and experimentation with the brewing process. Now, the magic potion brew, which is being promoted regardless of cost, is worth the magic crystals.
Of course, this is the valuation in the minds of the great nobles. Only an ordinary person would be crazy to buy wine with ten high-level magic crystals!
The bottle cap was fully opened, and the aroma of the wine became even stronger, which moved Field, who had been indifferent at first.
"This wine... what's wrong with it?"
Field had a feeling that this wine might be even better than the imperial wines of the empire.
The little Sandy Collar is quite a surprise.
"Serve it, serve it, serve it quickly."
Field was filled with anticipation, while the progress of the auction was completely irrelevant to the people here.
This small cup is a quintessential imperial court wine vessel, reserved for wines of exceptional value.
She accepted the small cup of wine from the Thai court lady.
Drink it all in one gulp!
"..."
"..."
"call!"
( *︾▽︾)
"Tess, we, the Richie Empire, have won all the auctioned potion wines. I want to take them back for my father and mother to try."
After a few drinks, Field's satisfied expression made him realize that what he had drunk before was nothing compared to the new potion wine from Sandy Territory.
Let the strong taste of liquor surge in your throat.
After several drinks, something surprising happened: Field's half-dragon blood began to stir.
Could this wine possibly have a slight effect on my health?
What level five magic potion? To my half-dragon race, this is no exaggeration to be level nine magic potion.
Because he initially disregarded the cost of the potion, Ron lavishly used a small amount of magical materials from the earth dragon.
Field was filled with surprise upon receiving the gift from the legendary Weir.
"Take pictures of everything, take pictures of everything."
