Sir Lanor brought both Vance and Alice into the next room, where appraisals were being done.? The room had a large wooden table with many different tools on it. There was also a sitting area where people could sit and wait for their items to be appraised.? "I must apologize for what happened. It is true that we do try to send away those who would bring in junk to be appraised. This I will not deny. But from what Sir Vance said, I should really rethink how things are done. As you said, a beggar on the street might one day pick up a treasure that we would miss out on. I will work on getting a second appraiser in her for those kinds of situations."
"I was only just giving my opinion. I am sure you also do not want to be flooded with people trying to pawn off a stone on the side of the road, either. But they should at least show the item to the receptionist to be sure it is something of value. If you? add an enclosed booth, you can also protect the people who might have a valuable object? as well." Vance did not want to make enemies with this man. After all, if he really could sell his potions at a higher cost to NPCs than players, it would be much more ideal. While he did eventually plan to sell to players, right now, it was best to have them suffer a bit longer to give him and his girls an advantage.
The longer he prolonged their ability to level up, the more chances he will have of surviving later on. He had to gear up as much as possible so that even if they were attacked, they could easily fend off any players.
"A booth, hmmm? This is a good idea! It will actually save on costs!" Sir Lanor wished he had thought of this sooner! "Ahem.... Thank you, Sir Vance. Now then, if you can show me the item, you are trying to auction off."
"Ah yes, here." Vance pulled out a health potion. "I have quite a few so...."
"Ho-Hol-Holy Potion!" Sir Lanor's eyes went wide. His hands began shaking. To even hold a holy potion was something to tell your grandkids about, so to be able to see one up close, he couldn't help but become excited.
"Hmmm. I have fifty I want to sell in patches of ten." Vance's words made Sir Lanor began to sway back and forth. The idea of fifty holy potions coming out of thin air was enough to make him want to shout out loud: "You are fucking lying!"
But he had no choice but to believe it with the princess of the kingdom standing here as well. He took a deep breath and said: "Hold on, I will call the appraiser in. I am sorry, but each one will need to be checked."
"That's fine." Vance did not mind at all. He figured this would need to be done anyway since the NPCs saw holy potions as something of a kind of sacred item. That was until they became something sold in every shop.
The appraiser was an older woman in her late sixties. She wore mage robes and a witch's hat. When he took the holy potion, she didn't even flinch, unlike Sir Lanor. She first inspected the outside of the vial the potion was in before popping the cork. "This.... This is much stronger than any holy potion I have ever seen! Young man, are you sure you want to sell this?"
"Mmm... After all, I have many more for you to check." Vance began pulling potion after potion out. When the old woman saw the pile forming on the table, she almost fainted. One was something she could handle, but fifty was another story! nove(lb(In
After thirty minutes, each vial was inspected and carefully placed into a redwood box. "You said you want to do five batches of ten, correct?"
"Yes." Vance just wanted to make some quick cash before the event since once he got the guild deed decorating the guild house would cost quite a bit of money.
"You are looking at at least one million gold per batch. Young man, you will make a killing." The old woman replied with a faint smile. She then turned to Sir Landor and said: "Lanor give them the VIP card for tomorrow's caution and get the teleportation magic arrays active. Send word to every kingdom. All royals and nobles from other kingdoms are to be contacted. All teleportation magic arrays should be ready to receive the richest customers we have ever seen in this small town."
"Right away, Madam!"? Hearing Sir Lanor call the old woman madam confused both Alice and Vance. They thought Sir Landor ran the auction house.
"Hehe..." The old woman giggled as she said: "I never did introduce myself. My name is Isabella. I am the owner of the Golden Wing Auction house, which is set up in many kingdoms and countries. You can say you are quite lucky that I was here checking on things. Or more like I should say I am the lucky one. Just having these potions will allow my auction houses to rising in status, making them the go-to place for nobles and royalty of all kingdoms. So I must thank you. But business is still business. We will still take out ten percent."
"I understand." Vance smiled. He was just happy to know the auction house was willing to go this far for him. To be able to call all the royalty here meant he would be able to gain quite a sum of money, maybe a few million per stack.
"Good. Now, let's sign our agreement so that things are legal. I do not want you saying we stole your things. Especially with the princess standing next to you." Isabella teased as she walked out of the room to go get the paperwork done.
Vance let out a sigh of relief before turning to Alice and kissing her lips. "With this, our money issues will be fixed. We can feed our small family now."
"Family, huh?" Alice smiled as she leaned her head on his shoulder. "When will you let me have a baby?"
"When we are strong enough that no one can do anything to us. We must grow in power first." Vance hugged Alice close. She seemed to want a baby as of late. Why this was, he did not know.
