Chapter 165: The Auction, Part 3

Chapter 165: The Auction, Part 3

The auctioneer's words made the crowd shudder.

"Only two buyers?"

"Ten potions? That's all?!"

"Nobody touch it! IT'S MINE!"

Doing his best to hide his smirk, Sandor finally announced the starting price. "All five potions will start at twenty-five gold coins, with a bid increase of five gold minimum! Let's begin!"

"Fifty!"

"Fuck! Doubling the price right at the beginning?!"

"It's that perverted old man! It's time for you to make way for the young ones, old fart! Fifty-five!"

"Sixty!"

"Seventy!"

"Eigh-"

"One hundred!"

The price skyrocketed again. Among the few thousand people, there were a few that had some 'personal difficulties' and this new Stamina Potion was exactly the thing they yearned for the most.

Of course, they would bid their life-savings just to feel whole again.

"Oh man, I wish I knew how to make Viagra pills, I would become a millionaire almost instantly!" Gerald quietly lamented.

But this was good too. When he would eventually introduce the Stamina Potion to the market, people would already know of its effects and he would get many more customers from far and wide.

The second round of bidding ended soon after, with the five vials being sold for two hundred and twenty-five gold coins! Gerald could only release a loud sigh.

The second batch was also sold quickly, the price reaching two hundred and ten gold.

Even the old alchemist marveled at the insanely high prices the potions received.

There was another armor that was sold in the auction. It was made of bronze and reinforced with runes, making it stronger than iron. Unfortunately, it paled in comparison with the Minecrawler Armor so the price barely reached a hundred gold.

What brought back more excitement, however, was an enchanted sword. It was made of beautiful white gold with Wind Crystals on the handle and a Water gem on the pummel.

It sparkled in the light and gave off a feeling of elegance and class. It was perfect for a delicate prince.

"White-Gold Leaf-Blade! Ladies and gentlemen, just look at this blade! It is straight and sharp, with Runes reinforcing its body and edge! It's a sword that will never dull or rust, all while carrying massive amounts of Mana in these gems! It once belonged to a true Elf from the West!" Sandor introduced the leaf-shaped blade.

Although not many humans used Wind or Water magic, just the enchantment was enough to make people fight over it.

Gold was usually quite soft, but with the reinforcement and sharpness Runes, the blade became a status symbol as well as a great weapon!

"The price starts at two hundred gold, and the minimum bid increment is twenty! Let's begin!" Sandor Rosecloud announced.

"Three hundred!" someone immediately shouted.

"Three-fifty!"

""

"Five hundred and seventy!"

""

"Eight hundred!"

The price immediately skyrocketed as expected. The price of the magnificent sword was originally worth five hundred gold coins, but the Auction House decided to lower it so more people would be willing to bid, and in turn, inflate the demand.

And it worked! The final price reached just over a thousand gold coins, making the auctioneer Sandor grin from ear-to-ear.

After the debt was paid, the auction continued. It was finally time for the Potion of Focus.

Once again, only ten vials were to be sold, but this time they were five pairs of two.

"This is also a potion that came from the mysterious alchemy master! It is called a Potion of Focus! In our tests, we have confirmed the details of the effectiveness of the potion, which is" Sandor went on to explain the effects and duration of the potion while inflating the already unbelievable results.

He even told the story of the alchemist Edon Ashbrew, of how the man almost went mad from the amazing effects and refused to be paid in anything but the amazing potion. Of course, he made it sound much better while leaving the identity of the man in question shrouded in mystery.
