"What is that treasure worth eight million? I'm a little curious." Hubert asked while dragging his chin. His weapon made by the master forger was only four million.
"It's just a few fruits." Ron wanted to fool him.
However, this aroused Hubert's curiosity, "What kind of fruit can make your auction house pay such a high price? Even epic-level alchemy potions cannot be sold for such a price."
Ron weighed it up and explained the matter truthfully.
"The fruit that can help Intermediate Mage break through to High Mage?" Hubert repeated to himself.
"Yes, it can not only help the mage, but also help Silver Knight advance to Gold Knight." Ron added, the reason why he said this is because Hubert's family is the famous Golden Lion Family, and most of the children in the family are practicing Battle Aura.
"But this should have no effect on the children of your family." Ron added.
He is not lying. Golden Lion Family's unique Battle Aura Cultivation Method. Once you practice Battle Aura, you can instantly be promoted from an ordinary person to a Gold Rank knight. With this unique As soon as the children of Battle Aura Cultivation Method and Golden Lion Family entered the military camp, they separated themselves from the others. With the help of their family's influence in the military camp, they could be promoted quickly. Every Golden Lion Family member was a middle- and high-level figure in the army.
And Golden Lion Family has such great prestige in the military camp. The most important thing is Golden Lion Family's current family head and one of the three great swordsmen of the kingdom - Marquis Hubert!
If we really talk about status, Hubert's status is higher than that of Sophia. Sophia can only call him "Marquis" in front of him.
"If it is made into a potion, what will the effect be?" Hubert looked at Ron and asked.
That aggressive gaze made Ron dare not look directly at it, so he could only lower his head and respond, "I dare not say if I am too sure, but the effect should be very strong. Maybe High Mage can be directly promoted to the Archmage level. Of course, this is only possible."
"Oh? Is this possible?" Hubert continued to ask.
"It should be quite big, but we have to wait for the potion to come out to see the effect." Ron answered honestly. If he hadn't been so sure, he wouldn't have bought the fruit in Claire's hand for more than two million just now, mainly because he wanted to test the effect.
Hubert nodded and waved his hand to make Ron retreat.
After Ron exited the room, the corners of Hubert's mouth turned up slightly, and a sentence suddenly popped out of his mouth, "Does this take no effort at all?"
After the auction, Shane first went home to help inquire about Life Potion.
Claire also wrote a letter to Sophia in another city, asking if the other party still had Life Potion and that he would like to owe her a favor.
A few days passed like this, and Claire had nothing to do. He either went to the library to read, or helped Shane in the store to promote new products. The nobles in the royal capital had also heard about Tulip Shop's new products.
Tulip Shop is also developing very smoothly in the royal capital. Inner City now has three branches in the royal capital. There is no need for Outer City to open one because the people there are not the target customers.
However, Claire and Shane were still used to gathering in this first store. During this period, Shane invited Claire out to attend some parties several times, but they were always Claire refused. A gathering of nobles is not interesting, and Claire has no familiar people in the royal capital. I don't know who to talk to when I go there, so I can't keep pestering Shane.
On the contrary, Shane can get some business every time he goes to these gatherings, which is worthy of his origin as Ansier Family.
"Claire, another invitation is coming this time." Shane trotted over holding a golden invitation.
Claire closed the Magic Book in his hand, raised his head helplessly, and said, "I told you many times that you don't need to take me with you, you should go alone." He understood Shane's good intentions, but he really wasn't the kind of person who likes to be sociable.
"Not this time." Shane spread the invitation in front of Claire, "The name invited on this invitation is you!"
A glimmer of light flashed in Claire's eyes. He kept a low profile every time he came to the king. How could anyone invite him? Even if Princess Irene had some limelight at his birthday party before, it had been such a long time and no one should have remembered him.
"Huh? Who invited you?"
Shane replied, "Marquis Hubert..."
"Who is this?" Claire really doesn't understand the nobles in the royal capital.
"One of the three great sword masters in the kingdom, the most talented knight in the history of the kingdom, he broke through Earth Knight at the age of seventeen, Sky Knight at the age of thirty, he broke through the sword master at the age of seventy-two, Hilt Family, the current head of the family, One of the deans of the Knight Academy, the winner of Medal of Courage, the army commander of Blazing Flame Plane..." Shane said a long list of titles, which made Claire a little dizzy.
"Okay, stop!" Claire reached out and shouted to Shane. If he kept talking like this, he would probably be able to talk for several hours.
Rubbing his head, Claire asked, "It sounds like this Marquis Hubert is very powerful."
"Remove the appearance." Shane shook his head and sighed, "Although I am not a fan of his, I still have to admit that he is very powerful."
"Then why would such a person specially send me an invitation?" Claire was still confused. He was keeping a low profile these days.
Shane also scratched his head and said doubtfully, "Yes, I haven't heard of any banquet at Marquis Hubert's house. And even if there is a banquet, they should send me an invitation. I haven't received it yet."
Claire frowned slightly. Sometimes being special is not a good thing. He didn't know when the other person noticed him.
Suddenly Shane seemed to remember something, he patted his forehead and said, "I remember, do you still remember the person who fought with you for that Life Potion that day and finally spent 25 million to buy it?"
Claire understood the meaning of Shane's words and asked, "Do you mean that that person is him?"
"It should be. No wonder I thought his voice was familiar that day, but I couldn't recognize it no matter how hard I tried. I haven't seen this Lord Marquis for several years, and I just realized it now." Shane said to himself, dragging his chin.
"Then what does he mean by sending me this invitation?" Claire asked, raising the golden invitation on the table.
"I don't know about that. They didn't send me an invitation. You should know it when you get there."
"That's right." Claire nodded lightly and replied. Claire was not very panicked. If the other party had malicious intentions towards him, he would have been gone long ago based on their strength and status. This is not to belittle oneself, let alone Claire, even a Archmage level mage would be killed with one sword when facing a sword master level knight, not to mention that he is only a High Mage and a border viscount.
"What time is it?" Claire asked.
"It seems to be at night." Shane picked up the invitation and read it, "The location is in the Hilt Family's mansion."
Claire curled his lips and said, "Are these big shots so pressed for time? The last time Sophia made an appointment was also that night, and this one also made an appointment that same night."
