Chapter 118 Auction End
Chapter 118 Auction End
"Now that we have proved the authenticity of the potions we will begin with a starting price of? thirty million!" The big titted woman announced. Vance did not expect such a high starting price but soon realized she might have praised it a bit too low for a starting price.
"One hundred million!" Someone shouted out from one of the VIP rooms. The first bid was instantly one hundred million gold.
"One hundred and ten million!" Another VIP room yelled out.
Master Jamason looked at the girls who were suddenly interested in the auction and asked: "Why are you girls so happy?"
"How can we not be happy to make money?" Alice replied in a low whisper while giving the old man a stern look. Master Jamason did not need anyone to say more. The potions up for auction must have come from them. When he thought about how the princess of the kingdom was here, he figured it was probably something she got from her father, the king. It never dawned on him that they were the ones who made them. Or, to be more specific that it was Vance who made them.
The first batch sold for one hundred and fifty million gold. If Vance were to sell these potions to players, he might get twenty silver later on in game but now he was getting millions of gold coins, which would effectively make him the richest person in game until crafting really took off. But these millions of gold were going to be a big help to him when he got his deed. It would allow for a bigger guild house and a larger area to play with to build whatever he wished on.
Once the first batch was sold, the bidding wars still continued. Each batch all the way up until the fourth batch sold for one hundred and ten to one hundred and thirty gold. It was not until the last batch was announced that people really went all out, and the price for the last ten potions sold for two hundred and forty million. The reason they were willing to pay so much was due to the effects a potion had on an NPC. It could even heal a missing arm or leg.
"And that concludes our auction for tonight. Please come to our next auction when the time comes." With that, the auction came to a close. The people who successfully bid on things were able to go receive their items, while those who did not could only leave empty handed.
Only those in the VIP section received their items right away. As for the money that was to be given to those who sold items, they were also paid once the buyers picked up their items. Vance sat in his seat looking at Mina, who was sniffing the shirt she was wearing, saying something about how it smelt like master.
"What are your plans now that the auction is over?" Master Jamason asked. He did not know what he should be doing.
"We will be going to pay your debt off first. This way, you do not need to worry about anyone chasing after you. Then we will get you a room in our inn. It's a pretty upscale inn so you will be comfortable for the next few days. I will even give you a few gold to go do some things around town, but remember, you can no longer gamble. So don't even think about it. The magic contract we signed forbids it, and you know what will happen if you go against the magic contract." Vance's gaze and reminder made Master Jamason lower his head. He had forgotten about the contract. It did include he could no longer gamble.
"Then I will just go to the brothel. This old man has not sat with pretty women and drank wine in a long time." Master Jamason's only other hobby was going to the brothel. Vance shrugged and looked at the girls, who were all giving him dirty looks, and chuckled.
About an hour later, the attendant walked in with a tray and a card. This card was issued by the auction house, and stored all the gold coins in it. It was like an inventory but in a card form and could only hold money. As for Vance, he just had to store it in his inventory, and it would be added to his funds.
"Miss Isabell also left a message." The attendant held out a sealed envelope and handed it to Vance before turning and leaving the room. Vance unsealed the envelope and took out the paper inside.
'Sir Vance, you have done me a favor and rescued the little fairy. I do not tell many people this, but my family has fairy blood in it. It might sound strange, but it is true. Fairies are made from mana, but that does not mean they can not mate. Some fairies are even able to grow big, and this is why my family has fairy blood. When I saw the little one stuck in a cage, I wanted to take action right away, but I had no choice but to put her on auction due to my business reputation. I know how it sounds, but I had no choice. I only even allowed this auction after you showed up. The fairy came in just yesterday. I had high hopes that you would bid on her. I also had a back up plan just in case. But I do hope you will take good care of her. Once more, thank you.'
"She is really kind." Alice had been reading the letter along with Vance since he put the paper down in front of her as he read it.
"She is. Lucky for us, though, we now have a new comrade. Mina will be a big help to us in the future. We should head out. We need to eat and then get a good night's sleep. The event will start tomorrow."
