Chapter 114: The Genius Alchemist Named "Miracle"
"Is this a potion? Or some kind of extraordinary treasure?"
"Could it be the Life Water of the Elves? Something as precious as this should be the grand finale, right?"
"Chairman, what exactly is this? How can it change the world?"
The guests were suddenly restless; their expectations had been raised too high, and in the end, it turned out to be just a small vial of potion.
No matter how they looked at it, it was not as dazzling and precious as the previously presented pigeon egg-sized blue gem.
Some even felt as if they were being toyed with.
Hadrow seemed to have anticipated the guests' reactions and raised his hands to calm them down, saying with a smile, "Everyone, please be patient. I, Hadrow, have been in the business world for a hundred years and have presided over numerous auctions. I rarely misjudge the value of any item."
Gradually, the audience quieted down, giving Hadrow the respect he deserved.
As he said, Hadrow's ability to maintain his current position was unquestionable.
The reason why the auction was so popular, with so many merchants and nobles in attendance, was due to his reputation for rarely presenting inferior items.
Everyone wanted to hear why Hadrow gave the final spot to this mysterious liquid in the crystal bottle.
"This crystal bottle does not contain Life Water; even if I had it, I would keep it for myself to secretly consume. How could I possibly sell it? That would be asking for trouble with the Elves, and I don't dare to do that. The Elves are good partners of our trade association," Hadrow said with a smile.
There were a few Elves among the audience, and upon hearing this, their expressions softened. Life Water was a treasure of the Elven Forest, with only 1000 drops produced by the Tree of Life each year. Every newborn Elf would consume a drop, bearing the mark of the Goddess of Life.
Hadrow continued, "What's contained in this bottle is the Magic Aversion Elixir!"
"Magic Aversion Elixir?"
"What is that?"
"Using a potion as the grand finale? Isn't that too outrageous?"
The guests were puzzled and couldn't understand the significance of it.
However, in Roland and Diana's eyes, they saw nothing but shock.
It's confirmed.
The grand finale of today's auction was indeed the Magic Aversion Elixir developed by Charlotte.
Over the past few centuries, magic had run rampant on the continent of Isar, causing countless people to suffer and perish. Even after various races discovered the dangers of magic, they tried all means to ban it. But due to its enormous profits, there were always people willing to take the risk and get involved.
Using the hallucinogenic effects after consumption, they played on the curiosity of those young nobles, causing magic addiction to spread widely and intensify.
It was said that the previous emperor of the Lance Empire died from severe magic addiction, causing him to become weak and incompetent during the latter part of his rule, which was a great pity.
As for the countless noble youths who died each year due to magic addiction, they were too numerous to count.
Many people in the audience had a couple of irresponsible juniors in their families, causing havoc within the family.
They hated magic but knew that once addicted, there was no cure.
Now Hadrow brought out a vial of Magic Aversion Elixir, claiming that it could cure magic addiction, and it had indeed shocked the entire audience.
Who was Hadrow?
The chairman of the Calva Trade Association.
For merchants, credibility was paramount. If he didn't have absolute confidence, he wouldn't have chosen this potion as the grand finale.
Since it was a potion, it meant that there was an alchemist capable of refining it.
This vial of Magic Aversion Elixir was not a singular item but one of the products that Hadrow was about to launch. It was the protagonist of today's auction!
However, just as Hadrow said, if this Magic Aversion Elixir could truly help those addicted to magic quit their addiction, it would indeed be something that could change the world. A world free from magic addiction would undoubtedly become a better place. Those witnessing the launch of the Magic Aversion Elixir at this auction were truly witnessing history.
"Chairman, is this Magic Aversion Elixir effective?" Marcus stood up from his seat, his expression excited as he looked at Hadrow.
"I vouch for the credibility of the Calva Trade Association and myself; this Magic Aversion Elixir is effective. If one relapses after taking it, our association will be responsible for it," Hadrow promised solemnly.
With this assurance, everyone's doubts were dispelled.
The fact that Hadrow was willing to vouch for it with the credibility of the trade association and himself made the reliability of this potion unquestionable.
"Chairman, was this potion refined by the alchemists of your trade association? Who is the genius alchemist behind it?" Someone curiously asked.
Everyone also turned their eyes to Hadrow; this was a figure who would go down in the history of the Isar continent.
Diana nervously clenched her fist. She didn't know if Charlotte had already spoken to Hadrow. If his identity were exposed, their previous plans would be completely overturned.
"This potion was entrusted to me for auction by an old friend of mine. According to him, it was refined by a genius alchemist named 'Miracle'," Hadrow said.
