209. Chapter 209 Auction



This glance from Fana's big eyes made Alehan feel a little embarrassed.

After all, before the official auction began, he contacted the seller Richard in front of all the wizards. No matter from which angle, it was a bit excessive.

Well, it’s not impossible to talk about it in advance, but at least, not under the eyes of others.

Otherwise, the way of eating would be too ugly.

"Master Levi, I have a suggestion." Fana looked at Richard with her beautiful eyes.

"Please go ahead, Ms. Fana, I'm all ears." Richard said with a smile.

As a shareholder of the new beer, Richard would certainly welcome it if many wizards were interested in the shares.

As for why Alehan was given priority, it was because he had provided help when he joined the Gray Dwarf Brotherhood.

Although at that time, to a large extent, the other party was doing it for the sake of his old friend Disol.

But no matter what, Alehan did help Richard.

Therefore, under the same conditions or when the conditions are not much different, Richard will definitely give priority to Alehan, as a small favor to the other party.

However, if other wizards offer much higher prices than Alehan, Richard will not insist on selling his shares to Alehan.

After all, one's own interests must come first, and currently a large amount of magic stones are needed to purchase monsters.

"Besides the magic stone, what else is Master Levi interested in?"

As Fana spoke, she half bent her head, which looked quite adorable considering her petite height.

"For example, the Fenrir potion that can increase the concentration of the spiritual power of a formal wizard? Or some rare or privately optimized witchcraft models? I know that Master Levi is not only proficient in the branch of pharmacy, but also in the branch of explosives."

"So, are you interested in some of the raw materials of these two branches? Can you allow us to participate in the auction of the above items? What the drunkard Desol said just now was not clear, so I am asking for everyone."

Richard understood what Fana meant instantly.

It seems that the shares of the new beer are more popular among wizards than I expected.

If you think about it carefully, wizards are all good at calculations. Although participating in adventures and exploring secret realms may bring very good rewards.

But again, risks and rewards are proportional, and the above actions all involve great risks.

In contrast, investing in his own newly invented new beer business, which would obviously be loved by many gray dwarves, was a steady source of magic stones.

Moreover, Richard didn't believe that they hadn't considered that if the sales area of ​​the new beer could radiate from Tug City to the surrounding cities in the future, then it would be no exaggeration to say that the stable income generated by the shares of this new beer would be no less than that of a small magic stone mine.

A mine that has a higher content of magic stones the more it is mined! This is why these wizards are flocking to it.

Alehan, who was standing aside, turned pale after hearing Fana's speech but recovered immediately. He seemed to know that even if he increased the stakes, it would be almost impossible to make Richard make a decision now.

So, Alehan immediately smiled friendly and said, "Master Levi, you and Ms. Fana chat first. I just happened to remember something and I need to discuss it with Disol."

"Okay, Mr. Alehan, please feel free to do as you please." Richard also smiled at Alehan with a slightly apologetic look.

After that, Richard turned to look at Fana and said, "Ms. Fana, your suggestion is great. Of course, it is no problem for me."

"I am very interested in these rare formulas, witchcraft models or rare raw materials. Everyone can make mixed offers."

For Richard, having more choices would naturally be more beneficial to him.

"That's great. I'll tell the wizards the news right away." Fana's eyes lit up and she said happily.

Richard could understand this. Although wizards were wealthy, they rarely kept a large amount of magic stones in their pockets.

Generally speaking, wizards would choose to exchange large quantities of magic stones for some rare materials or potion formulas.

Therefore, if the shares of the New Beer Chamber of Commerce can only be auctioned with magic stones, the price will definitely be much lower than that of a mixed auction.

After achieving her goal, Fana was about to turn around and leave, but Richard suddenly remembered something and shouted, "Ms. Fana, please stay."

"Oh, Lord Levi, is there anything else?" Fana turned to look at Richard, her pretty face full of confusion.

Richard took out a parchment scroll from his arms and handed it to Fana. Judging from its condition, the parchment scroll was very new.

After Fana took it, at Richard's signal, she immediately untied the thin rope tied to the parchment scroll and began to look at it carefully.

Just a few seconds later, Fana showed a look of horror, her cherry lips opened wide:

"Sir Levi, you...you have improved the Qingling Potion so quickly? This is really unbelievable!"

Richard bowed slightly and said with a smile:

"I have to thank Ms. Fana for your idea. It is your idea to replace honeysuckle with water hyacinth. Now it seems completely feasible. I just calculated the optimal ratio based on the data provided by Mr. Angeles after many attempts."

"And my luck seems to be pretty good. Just now, I successfully completed an experiment in the alchemy room. On the basis of avoiding side effects as much as possible, according to this ratio, the efficacy of the medicine can be increased by about 10%."

"Of course, there are some side effects. After taking the improved Qingling potion, the user will feel nauseous or dizzy. This state will last for one or two days. I believe it will not exceed three days at most."

After hearing Richard's words, Fana didn't believe it at all. She knew very well that the most difficult part of improving the formula of the Qingling potion lies in the new ratio.

Because if she replaced it directly, she had tried it a long time ago, and it would have strong side effects, such as nausea, dizziness and even vomiting, which would last intermittently for several months.

Such a long period of side effects is simply unbearable for wizards who need to stay in good condition at all times.

If you encounter a sudden battle during this period, you will die miserably.

And this young human in front of us actually experimented out the optimal ratio within a few days.

This made Fana, who had always believed that her level of alchemy was almost the same as that of a master alchemist, fall into deep self-doubt.

However, Fana was only stunned for a moment before she realized that she and the other party were now a group with the same interests, because the three of them had previously agreed to cooperate on the matter of improving the Qingling potion.

As a partner, the stronger the better! Especially when this partner is about to bring you a lot of profits.

Suddenly, the look in Fana's eyes when she looked at Richard was full of gold coin symbols, just like the look in the eyes of a dragon when it discovered some treasure. At the same time, it was also mixed with some admiration for the strong.

However, Fana's "affectionate" gaze instantly made Richard feel strange all over.

“Master Levi, then we will follow our previous agreement. After the improved Qingling potion is sold, you will take 40%, and Angeles and I will each take 30%.”

Although the efficacy of the medicine has only increased by nearly 10%, if you multiply it by the residual period of the blood essence of an average wizard calculated in months or even years, this time is not short.

Fana's originally big beautiful eyes had narrowed into a crescent shape, and she couldn't close her mouth while smiling.

Fana had never expected that working with this young human alchemist would produce results so quickly. She had thought that it would take at least a few months before results would be available. In fact, Fana had prepared herself mentally for more than a year.

"Of course, just follow the agreement." Richard now felt something was not right when listening to Fana's words. The other party's tone seemed so sweet that it could squeeze out honey.

It was exactly like the tone Stephanie used when she came up to me yesterday.

After Fana left, Desor walked up to Richard carelessly, hit him hard on the chest, and said, "Hey, my brother, Levi, everyone is waiting for you. You two are a little slow."

Disol's little eyes lit up with an expression that all men could understand.

"I think Fana has a soft spot for you. You must seize the opportunity, dwarf witch. Tsk, tsk, I really envy you."

Glancing at Fana's 1.2-meter-tall figure, Richard was speechless. The two came to the long table, and Disol began his opening remarks skillfully.

"Everyone, today we are holding a small auction organized by Master Alchemist Levi. I believe that everyone has tasted the new rye beer. This time, Master Levi is selling 30% of the shares of the Desol Beer Chamber of Commerce."

When talking about the name of the Chamber of Commerce, Disol couldn't help but straighten his chest, as if he was particularly proud of the name, which made Richard couldn't help laughing.

However, what surprised Richard was that many of the gray dwarf wizards present looked at Disol with envy when they heard that the name of the beer guild was Disol Beer Guild.

It seems that the yearning of the gray dwarves for the wine master is engraved in their bones! "The auction format is a mixed auction. You can bid with magic stones alone, or you can use a combination of magic stones and other items. Since the owner of the shares, Master Levi, is also present, the final decision is in the hands of Master Levi."

"Now, the auction begins. Starting price: one magic stone!"

Just as all the wizards were listening to Disor attentively and guessing what the starting price would be, the starting price of a magic stone surprised everyone.

Disol's playful expression immediately made many people present glare at him.

Being teased!

When Disol saw that he had offended everyone, he quickly said, "This is at the request of Master Levi."

Suddenly, everyone's eyes were focused on Levi, which made Levi a little embarrassed. He didn't expect that just a little entertainment would cause such a big commotion.

Yes, when it comes to playing tricks, it depends on one’s past life. The gray dwarves have never seen such tricks before.

"Ahem, Desol, let's start the auction." Richard touched his nose and coughed.

The starting price of one magic stone lasted for less than a second before it was replaced by a bid of 100,000 magic stones.

"One hundred thousand magic stones plus the formula of Fenrir Potion." Fana shouted. She believed that any normal potion master would be interested in Fenrir Potion.

"One hundred and fifty thousand magic stones."

"One hundred and fifty thousand magic stones plus a high-temperature force field witchcraft model." A gray dwarf wizard with dreadlocks quoted the price.

Suddenly, the quotation entered a rather tense state.

Upon hearing this offer, Alehan couldn't help but smile in his heart. This wizard obviously didn't do his homework. He might only know that Master Levi was an alchemy master with dual branches of alchemy and explosives, so he took it for granted that Master Levi must have an affinity for the element of fire.

But unfortunately, Alehan knew very well that Master Levi was not a wizard with an affinity for the element of fire, so naturally he would not have much interest in the fire-related witchcraft model.

He calmly looked around at everyone present and shouted loudly:

"150,000 magic stones plus a Deathly Aura Surrounding Witchcraft Model!"

Richard's eyes suddenly lit up. He didn't expect that Alehan actually had a necromancy model. He was such an old fox that he had been hiding until now.

When Alehan was quoting the price, he had been paying keen attention to Richard's facial expression. When he saw his brows twitch slightly, which showed that he was obviously interested, he couldn't help but feel relieved.

He knew clearly that Master Levi in ​​front of him had only frowned slightly twice, once when he was talking about Fana's offer, and once when he was talking about his offer.

It seems that the result will definitely be between him and Fana.

However, he was confident that if Fana could not come up with anything else, the shares of the Beer Chamber of Commerce would definitely belong to him, Alehan.

At this time, Golkan quietly came to Richard and whispered something. Richard immediately showed a surprised expression and stood up and said:

"Pause for a moment, everyone. The Vice President of the Gray Dwarf Brotherhood, the Great Wizard Hawkins, has suddenly arrived for a visit. We..."

"Haha, Levi, no need to bother welcoming me, I came in by myself." Just when Richard was about to ask everyone to go with him to greet him.

A familiar voice was heard, it was Hawkins, and beside him was Fingart who didn't dare to stop it at all.

Naturally, many first-level wizards did not dare to neglect the arrival of the second-level great wizard, and they all stood up to greet him. After all, in the wizard's worldview, strength is supreme.

"I heard that you are holding an auction for shares of the new beer. Levi, that's what's wrong with you. You didn't even call me." Hawkins sat down with a smile, then waved his hand, signaling everyone to sit down and relax.

Richard had just been wondering why Hawkins came to see him, but when he heard the other party's words, he suddenly realized.

With a wry smile, he still underestimated the status of fine wine in the hearts of the gray dwarves, even the powerful gray dwarf wizard was no exception.

After Disol brewed a small amount of new beer yesterday, he asked Fritz, the gray dwarf noble butler on the third floor, to put a box of new rye beer in Hawkins' office this morning.

However, at that time, he had never thought of mentioning the auction of new beer shares to Hawkins.

First, the sales of alcoholic beverages such as beer are mainly concentrated in miners and civilians. Even a small amount of high-end beer will be consumed by gray dwarf nobles and wizards, but the number is not large. For example, gray dwarf wizards usually use wine as the main drink for banquets.

Secondly, he didn't think that Hawkins, a second-level wizard, would be interested in the small monthly profit from the new beer. Before the sales volume expanded, the profit from a 30% stake was estimated to be only a few thousand magic stones per month.

But what Richard didn't expect was that Hawkins actually came in person.

"You all don't mind if I take part in the auction, right?" Hawkins said, looking around casually with eyes that seemed to contain lightning.

"Of course I don't mind!"

"You are most welcome!"

“.”

Obviously, no wizard present would stand up to object. Even the dumbest wizard knew that he should maintain due respect for the strong.

But there was something unnatural in Fana's smile.

Alehan's hands were trembling slightly under the long table. (End of this chapter)
