Auction

"Ninety silver coins in total," said Potent Potions Expert. "The blue potions that enhance intelligence sell the worst. I suggest you only make yellow, red, and cyan potions in the future. I can buy them from you for ten silver coins each."

She paused, then asked, "Could you slightly improve the effect of the yellow potions?"

Gagnor counted the silver coins. "How so?"

"A customer told me that for the first few hours after taking it, the yellow potion made him 'very persistent and hard'... you understand what I mean, right?" Potent Potions Expert's tone revealed a hint of feminine shyness.

Gagnor was surprised.

The Physique Pseudo-Reagent has this kind of effect?

The Blood Magic Notes didn't mention it. Could it be due to the physical differences between humans and Blood Elves?

"You think this effect is more marketable?" he asked.

"Yes," Potent Potions Expert nodded. "You can try to strengthen this aspect and reduce the side effects."

Gagnor pondered for a moment. "I can try, but Cislon is a foreign recipe. I haven't studied it in depth, so I can't guarantee a successful improvement."

"Okay." Potent Potions Expert took out a money bag and a mannequin. "This hundred silver coins is the deposit for the next batch of goods. And this testing mannequin is one I bought in Akes City. It's better than the ones from the South Sea Town Apothecary Guild, so I'll give it to you—as a souvenir of our pleasant cooperation."

"Thank you."

The two chatted for a few more words, and Gagnor then left.

At this moment, a masked man walked over from not far away. Gagnor looked over and found that it was the owner of the general store stall who alternated with Potent Potions Expert.

Potent Potions Expert asked in surprise, "What are you doing here?"

"Of course, to attend the auction," said the general store owner.

Potent Potions Expert blinked. "Did the Diviner tell you?"

The general store owner nodded and waited for Gagnor to walk away before saying, "The Diviner said not to buy anything at this black market auction, and preferably not even make a bid. I'm very curious, what kind of auction item would bring about such a divination result."

"What would happen if you bought it?"

"I don't know, the Diviner doesn't know either," said the general store owner. "The auction is about to start, let's go take a look, maybe we'll know after seeing it."

Potent Potions Expert nodded and immediately packed up her stall, walking towards the auction house with the general store owner.

Gagnor also walked towards the auction house.

Having just received nearly two hundred silver coins, he felt unprecedentedly wealthy. He wanted to go in and take a look at the auction, something he had never dared to do before.

The auction house was in the middle of the Black Gold Corridor, named "Goblin Auction House." It was now opening its doors, allowing all kinds of guests to enter and take their seats, welcomed by two attendants, one male and one female.

Gagnor found a corner in the auction house to sit down and looked around from time to time.

"Welcome, esteemed Lady Elusa!" The attendant at the door said loudly, and everyone in the auction house turned to look.

Gagnor also followed the sound and couldn't help but widen his eyes.

A purple-haired beauty in a long golden dress was slowly entering the auction house. She had a polite smile on her face and gracefully took her seat amidst the crowd's attention and entourage.

Elusa, the Queen of Joy Street.

Gagnor was surprised by Elusa's image. After all, the most widespread kind of common gossip in South Sea Town was about the beautiful lady's romantic affairs.

Some of the rumors were quite bizarre.

But he didn't expect that this Queen Elusa would look quite dignified and noble.

After a while.

Another voice came from the door: "Lord Loha, your arrival makes us feel extremely honored!"

Before the voice faded, there was a bit of discussion in the auction house: "Loha and Elusa are both here, is there something good at today's auction?"

"Will Raven come?"

"Probably not, I heard he almost never appears in places where people gather."

Gagnor turned his head to look again.

Loha, a middle-aged man suspected of having Dwarves blood, was not tall, but he was very strong. His arms were thicker than Gagnor's thighs, and his thick beard made him look like he was wearing a scarf.

Seeing Elusa, the South Sea Town boxing champion and underground arena boss grinned: "Lady Elusa, are you here to buy something?"

Elusa still had a dignified smile: "No, I'm here to sell something. How about you?"

"Hahahaha!" Loha laughed loudly. "I've been a little bored recently, so I came to take a look!"

"The auction seems particularly lively today."

"Yes, I wish you can sell for a good price."

Elusa said casually: "I'm also a little bored, just selling casually. Money is such a vulgar and boring thing, don't you think?"

"That's right, haha!" said Loha.

At this time, the seats were already full, but when Loha approached a seat, the person sitting on it immediately got up sensibly and showed a flattering smile.

A few minutes later.

The discussion in the auction house suddenly subsided, and the auctioneer walked onto the stage.

Looking at the auctioneer with a bright smile on his face, Gagnor finally understood why this auction house was called "Goblin Auction House."

The auctioneer was a Goblin!

Although the intelligence of most Goblins is comparable to that of mentally challenged humans, there are some genius Goblins who are incredibly intelligent, even surpassing many humans.

Judging from his proper etiquette and shrewd smile, this auctioneer was clearly one of them.

"I am your old friend, Rivigas! Thank you all for attending today's auction! May Mosa and all the gods willing to bless you be with you!" the Goblin auctioneer said loudly.

"Rivigas, what's the highlight of today's auction? It wouldn't be your ears, would it?" someone joked.

Everyone laughed, and the auction house was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

Rivigas chuckled as well. "Of course not. My ears aren't worth that much—at least, the final price wouldn't be!"

After a few witty remarks, the Goblin auctioneer's expression turned slightly serious. "Now, let's bring out today's appetizer!"

As soon as he finished speaking, another Goblin walked onto the stage holding a small box.

The small box was opened, revealing a gleaming silver arrowhead with mysterious patterns engraved on it.

Rivigas said, "An ancient Mithril Arrowhead from a tomb. The engraved enchantment effect is 'Magic Breaker'. If anyone is planning to become a Demon hunter, I guarantee this is absolutely essential!"

"Starting price, one hundred silver coins!"

A murmur arose from the audience.

"A Mithril Arrowhead; that's a decent price."

"Too bad it has the useless 'Magic Breaker' enchantment, and it's a permanent engraved enchantment... When was the last time Demons even showed up?"

"I bid one hundred silver coins." Amidst the discussions, the first bid rang out.
