194. Chapter 193 Brown Auction and Crusader Enchantment



They were a single man and a single woman, and the girl was more proactive, so they ended up chatting about bed.

It lasted from the afternoon until the evening.

Afterwards, Wayne picked up a Hobbit-made pipe, took a few puffs of the tobacco, and with a somewhat melancholy tone, he reached out and touched Julie's head, saying, "I told you a long time ago, Julie, that we can't be together. I'm a half-elf, and my life span is more than ten times longer than yours. When you are old, I will still be the same as I am now, with basically no change."

"Besides, I am an adventurer with no fixed place to stay. It won't be long before I leave Goldshire and go somewhere else."

Upon hearing this, Julie lay on Wayne's chest with a happy look on her face, gently stroking Wayne's muscles with her fingers, and said with a slight smile: "Yes, you told me a long time ago, but I also thought it through very clearly."

"When I was locked in the cellar, I thought my life was going to end, but you saved me. You are my hero."

"For ordinary girls like us, this may be the biggest adventure in life."

"I don't think about being with you forever. When you pass by Shining Gold Town in the future, just remember that there was a girl who liked you. Maybe by then I will have my own family, and you can come to my house for a simple meal. This will be a beautiful memory for me."

………………

That night, Julie did not stay at his house. The farm girl did not want her parents to know that she had devoted herself to an adventurer, so she returned home before dark.

The next morning, when Wayne was drying herbs in the yard, Mr. Lawrence came over.

However, this gentleman was not here to cause trouble, but because of a task that Wayne had entrusted him with.

"Wayne, I have bought everything you asked me to buy for you. It is in the carriage outside the yard. It is a whole carriage with a complete set of alchemy equipment and a whole cart of herbs."

As he spoke, the farmer, who looked quite capable, wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with some emotion:

"I ran all over Stormwind City to purchase so many herbs. Fortunately, my brother knows some acquaintances. Otherwise, it would be impossible to purchase so many herbs so quickly and in such a complete range."

Lawrence handed Wayne a bill and a small bag of gold coins in a purse and said:

"Wayne, this is the remaining money and the bills. By the way, there's also some results on the auction house matter you asked me to inquire about."

"Stormwind City's Brown Auction House has a monthly auction that will be held in about two days. If you are interested, I can go with you."

Wayne was very tempted by Mr. Lawrence's proposal. Calculating the time, he would not be able to stay in Azeroth for many days. It would be a good opportunity for him to go to the auction house in a big human city like Stormwind before leaving. Maybe he could buy something he liked.

And after buying things, he will leave immediately, and others will not be able to trace any information about him, so he will not cause any trouble.

Thinking of this, he nodded to Lawrence, then counted out ten Azeroth gold coins from the purse he handed back, handed them to the middle-aged man, and said, "Thank you for your help, Mr. Lawrence. This is your reward for the past few days. Please prepare a carriage when the time comes, and we will go to the auction house together to take a look."

Lawrence did not refuse and took the ten gold coins. This was the reward the two had agreed on long ago. Although he still had some savings after giving up the farm, if he wanted to open a bakery in Shining Gold Town to support his family, the head of the family would have to earn a little more money.

Soon, with the help of several porters, the large carriage of goods was moved into the Wayne family's warehouse, and after that, Mr. Lawrence said goodbye and left.

After Mr. Lawrence left, Wayne took out the magic wine flask hanging on his belt and put the intermediate mana potion and intermediate healing potion he had made today into the two compartments of the wine flask respectively.

This wine jug is filled with hundreds of bottles of two kinds of potions, which can almost be used as daily consumables.

Anyway, the drinks in this wine jug will be locked in time. In the future, these potions, no matter how much is in reserve, can not only be used as first aid medicines to save lives, but even if they are sold as commodities at high prices to other people in need, it is a highly profitable and sure-win business.

This time, he commissioned Lawrence and spent a large sum of money to purchase the concentration flower, silverleaf grass, and some other herbs for making healing potions and mana potions from Stormwind City, all for this matter.

Soon, when he returns to the wizarding world and to Kaer Morhen, these potions will be great gifts for his warlock lovers and witcher brothers. They will surely like such practical things.

Of course, he still wants a lot of good things in the world of Azeroth, but he has no channels to get them. As for whether he can buy any good things next, it depends on his luck at this auction.

Soon, two days passed in a flash. Wayne found time to help Sheriff Duhan capture several spies from the Defias Brotherhood and completed an expert-level commission. He spent the rest of the time concentrating on improving his alchemy and making dozens of bottles of healing potions and mana potions.

When it was time to set off, Wayne and Lawrence took a carriage and headed towards Stormwind City, and they were accompanied by the farm girl Julie.

Facing Wayne's somewhat puzzled look, Julie showed a cheerful smile and said, "Wayne, today is my cousin Harley's day off. She is now a trainee pastor in a church school. I am just giving you a ride."

Wayne certainly did not refuse this. He smiled and said:

"Then let's have dinner together in the city after the auction is over this afternoon before going back."

"Come to think of it, I haven't seen a real priest yet."

Wayne was just saying this casually, but it immediately attracted Julie's strange look. The girl tilted her head and asked in confusion, "Wayne, as an adventurer, you were injured while on a mission. Didn't you go find a priest to treat you?"

Wayne knew that he had let the cat out of the bag, but he was not panicked at all. He looked at the girl and immediately said with a smile:

"Haha, I really haven't asked a priest to treat me, because I have never been injured in need of treatment."

After he mumbled a few casual words, the topic quickly turned to other things.

Two hours passed in a flash. When they entered the gate of Stormwind City, several Stormwind guards came to check. However, it was just a routine inspection. The three of them paid a few silver coins as the entrance fee and were not obstructed. They were soon allowed to enter the city.

Moreover, according to Lawrence's introduction, the city of Stormwind alone has a population of over 100,000 people. In terms of area, it is not on the same level as Vizima.

The Brown Auction House that they were going to today was a fairly famous auction house located in the commercial district. It was said that its main customers were civilians, businessmen and adventurers, and it basically did not sell flashy works of art.

It is not popular among the nobles, and the items auctioned are mainly equipment, weapons, and potions that enhance strength. Occasionally, some strange and weird things found by adventurers during their adventures are also auctioned, which are quite popular among the common people.

Not long after entering the city, Mr. Lawrence drove the carriage and stopped at a square in the city center. After Julie waved goodbye to them, the carriage moved forward again and entered the more prosperous commercial district.

Wayne leaned out of the window and looked out. There were hundreds of shops of all kinds on the entire street. It was really a bustling sight. There were shops of all kinds and people coming and going in an endless stream.

However, most of the shops on this commercial street are run by humans only.

Mr. Lawrence told him that there was a dwarf area in Stormwind City, where there were many dwarf-run shops selling dwarf-made specialties, and there were also some gnomes running shops there. If he was interested, he could take some time to take a look.

Soon, their carriage stopped in a spacious place specially used for parking carriages. Then, under the guidance of Lawrence, Wayne entered the Brown Auction House, which had a simple and attractive decoration and covered a large area.

After entering the auction, a beautiful female clerk immediately came up to them. She led the two to a desk for a simple registration, and then handed Wayne a number plate carved out of a wooden board with the number 101 on it.

Holding the wooden sign, the two men, under the guidance of another female clerk, quickly entered a large auction venue.

The light in the audience was a little dim. There were rows of seats arranged neatly at a certain distance, totaling three or four hundred. And right in front of these seats, on a stage illuminated by a dozen magic lights, a short and fat auctioneer with a somewhat funny look was telling jokes to the bidders who had already arrived.

After Wayne and Lawrence found the seats corresponding to the wooden numbers and waited in the auction hall for half an hour, the auction officially began.

There are more than 200 items in this auction, including goods that failed to sell in previous auctions and new goods added to this auction. They will be auctioned in order from the highest to the lowest reserve price.

After the auction started, the short and fat auctioneer named Jamie became serious. He was a very eloquent talker, and Wayne had already experienced that during the half hour of waiting before the auction began.

After he stood on the auctioneer's exclusive podium, there was the sound of a wooden hammer hitting a wooden board, and Jamie said in a mellow voice: "Ladies and gentlemen, the auction of Brown's Auction House is now officially underway."

"We have the first auction item, a fine steel longsword from a high-level dwarf blacksmith. It is a one-handed sword, one meter long, with double-edged edges, and is forged from high-quality steel. The reserve price is fifty silver coins, and there are ten swords in total."

"Each bid is five silver coins. Everyone is welcome to bid."

Following the introduction of the auctioneer Jamie, some gleaming steel swords were placed on the bright exhibition stand. The swords had beautiful bodies and were made of fine materials. They were made by the dwarf's senior blacksmiths. Although they were not good swords, they were sufficient for ordinary warriors and the price was quite low.

It soon attracted the attention of some adventurers of mediocre strength and financial resources, and the price was quickly raised to eighty silver coins, and then it was bought by a strong human warrior.

The nine steel swords that followed were also quickly sold out at prices of eighty silver coins, either high or low.

After selling the first item, auctioneer Jamie started the auction of the second item without further ado.

"The second auction item is a half-body armor forged by a senior dwarf blacksmith. It is made of pure steel, has excellent defense, a classic shape, and a moderate weight. It is very suitable for those fledgling warriors and is very helpful in combat. There are five pieces in total, and the reserve price is three gold coins."

"Each bid must be no less than ten silver coins. Everyone is welcome to bid."

Following Jamie's introduction, several sets of half-body armor were also carried to the display stand by the staff. As plate armor, its price is several times more expensive than that of a steel sword due to the materials consumed and labor costs.

But soon, these half-armor pieces were also bought by some warrior adventurers.

This was followed by the third lot, the fourth lot, and the fifth lot.

The prices range from low to high, there are weapons, equipment, potions and scrolls. As a wealthy man, Wayne immediately entered purchasing mode after a brief pause. As long as he likes the product and the price is not outrageous, he will buy it without hesitation.

Because Wayne has a credit line of more than 150,000 gold coins in Vivian's bank, he never needs to worry about money. As for the problem of owing money, when he obtains the treasure from the Lonely Mountain in Middle-earth in the future, all the expenses will be considered a small amount.

The auction went on quickly. By the time the 150th lot was put on the market, Wayne had already purchased more than 20 lots at Brown's Auction House and spent more than 200 gold coins. Many adventurers and businessmen who participated in the auction looked at this handsome young man with curiosity.

However, Wayne did not care too much about this. As Mr. Brown said, most of the people participating in this auction were civilians, businessmen and adventurers. Even if he stood out a little, it would not cause any trouble.

"Next, please welcome the 150th auction item, the Enchanted Scroll Crusader. This is the work of a master enchanter."

"As for the effect of this enchantment scroll, it can give the weapon a special effect. When attacking the enemy, there is a certain chance that the user's strength will be greatly increased. The user will also be healed by the holy light and recover a certain amount of physical strength and vitality. It is a very powerful weapon enchantment."

"The reserve price is fifty gold coins, and each bid increase must be no less than two gold coins. Everyone is welcome to bid now."

As the auctioneer Jamie finished his words, this enchanted scroll immediately attracted the interest of several melee adventurers present, and they began to compete in bidding.

The Crusader Enchantment was considered a top-level enchantment when Wayne was playing the game at level 60 or even 70.

He didn't expect to come across it in the auction house. Looking at this product, Wayne's eyes lit up and he immediately made the decision to get it.
