A few days before the auction started, Claire was not idle. He had been soaking in the library in the Royal Capital Magic Academy. He had almost read all the magic notes that he had copied back. Claire was going to copy some more and continue reading.
He wanted to meet the girl exploring the star world he met when he first came in, but he never met her, and Claire didn't take the initiative to find her.
He originally planned to mention something about the spirit world to the other party if he met him. When he used the Nether Spirit Lamp before, he saw the entrance to the spirit world, which was a transitional plane. He might be able to provide the other party with some experimental data.
He saw in that girl a mage's persistence and exploration of unknown things, which was something that many mages didn't have, so if there was a chance, Claire still hoped to be able to help her.
During the past few days when Claire was in the library, Shane was not idle either. He directly contacted Wendy through Sophia. Originally, Wendy was not interested. After hearing that it was Claire's new story, he agreed without hesitation. What surprised Shane even more was that Wendy didn't even confiscate the money.
Shane also handed over the written story to the other party. According to the news from Wendy, it will take about three or four days to adapt it.
The two months of touring have really given Wendy a lot of training. Her skills have improved a lot, and she has gained more than she did in street performances in the past ten years.
And these days, she feels that she has reached a bottleneck. Continuing to perform Mermaid Princess's program will not have much effect on her, and she has performed for more than a month and hundreds of shows. She was almost sick of acting, and she was about to start adapting the next story in the fairy tale book, but at this time Claire's story came to her again, and Wendy felt that she was full of energy again!
Shane is not idle here either, and is also starting to lay the groundwork for the promotion of the pink crystals brought by Claire. It is worth mentioning that when Shane first put the products on the shelves, before they had time to publicize them, some newspapers and periodicals in the capital had already reported on Tulip Shop's new products, which saved a lot of publicity costs.
This also shows that Tulip Shop is already a well-known brand in the capital. Even before it takes the initiative to advertise, people have already taken the initiative to learn about the new products.
A few days passed quickly, and some entertainment activities of the nobles in the royal capital stopped. The auction held every six months was considered a big event in the royal capital, enough to attract many nobles to come and watch, even if they didn't buy, it didn't cost any money.
And they are different from top families like Sophia and Shane. They know what all the items in the auction are, and they only know the inside story about a few treasures. If they come across a treasure that suits them well, they can make money by buying it.
Shane came here with Claire. Originally, he also had this invitation given to him by the auction house, but the location was not as good as the box in Sophia, so he came in with Claire.
After the receptionist at the auction saw the invitation handed over by Claire, his expression changed a little, and then he was greeted politely to the box inside.
As soon as he entered the box, Shane relaxed and lay down directly on the large sofa, and said, "There are only a few boxes here. My box is not as big as Lady Sophia's. Fortunately, I came with you. Otherwise, I would have to come with my father to have this kind of box, but it is uncomfortable to be with my father."
Claire didn't imitate the other person's example and slumped down on the sofa. It's not a big deal. The sofa is not as good as the one at home. It's just the comparison that makes it feel special in my heart.
Then Claire walked to the front glass, which is a one-way glass. You can see the outside booth from here, but you can't see who is inside at all from the outside, which protects the privacy of some customers who don't want to reveal their identities.
After watching in front of the glass for a while, Claire then came back. There were auction seats outside, which were similar to those in a teahouse. They were not so crowded, but there were no private rooms to make it appear more high-end.
Claire sat down directly on the sofa opposite Shane and started chatting with him. It was still some time before the auction started, so it was not in a hurry.
After about five or six minutes, there was a knock on the door.
"Please come in!" Shane stood up skillfully and walked to the door.
He took a brochure from the waiter at the open door. After closing the door, he explained to Claire, "This is the treatment given to VIPs at the auction. They can see the detailed information of the items to be auctioned in advance. If you want it, you still have time to prepare funds."
Shane handed the brochure over without even looking at it, "Let's take a look."
"You don't see it?" Claire asked doubtfully.
Shane: "..."
"Do you want to take a look at yourself before you say anything? You have lent me all my money, and you still ask me if I want to read it? I have seen it and found what I want. Do I have the money to buy it?"
It makes so much sense, there's no way to refute it! Claire was speechless.
"My fault, my fault." He owed millions to others, so Claire gave in decisively.
After taking the manual, Claire started to look through it. During the process of looking through it, he did come across several things that made him excited, such as the staff that can shorten the casting speed by 50%, and the Magic Crystal that can instantly fill the Archmage level of magic power in the body, and the leaves of Tree of Wisdom, the incomplete notes left by a magic saint hundreds of years ago...
These are very tempting for every mage. If Claire can possess one of them, the combat effectiveness will be directly increased by nearly 50%, and it can continue to be used even if it is upgraded to the Archmage level.
Holding back her heartache, Claire turned to the next few pages. Those were the final auction items, and the potion that could replenish vitality was among them.
"Vitality Replenishing Potion" is the full name of the potion, but the nobles in the royal capital prefer to call it Longevity Potion or simply Life Potion. Having it means that one can live fifty or sixty years longer.
Claire's eyes stayed on it for a while, and he nodded after reading almost all of Life Potion's information. The principle was similar to what he thought, which was to replenish vitality to the aging body, and the process was very gentle, so even noble family heads who were not mages or knights could use it.
In this case, it should meet the requirements of Hong Qi. The other party's body is so weak that he is about to die. If I find him a strong potion, I might even kill him. I still want to continue trading with the other party. Claire thought to himself.
"Bang!" A gavel sounded, and the auction officially began!
The atmosphere at the venue suddenly became lively, but the joys and sorrows between people were not the same. They were sitting in an ordinary auction seat without a box below. No matter how excited they were, Claire just thought they were noisy.
The first few lots were all designed to enliven the atmosphere, and the auctioneer was of high standard. A few words aroused the enthusiasm of the customers present.
The previous lots were all worth more than 100,000 Gold Coins, and were bought by the previous auctioneers. In the middle period, they gradually became unable to get involved. People in the small boxes began to raise their bids, and the value of the lots gradually approached the level of nearly one million. The atmosphere at the scene became even more lively.
Especially when one party quoted a better price than the other party, there was an uproar! They were all shocked by the wealth of those people.
Claire The people above are beginning to wonder whether some of the bidders below are actors invited by the auction. Sometimes the shouts can be just right.
