Chapter 651, poisonous
"Five hundred, isn''t it a bit high?" Wu Heng asked.
After the lowest price, there will be a bidding process, and the final price will increase several times.
Shanara smiled, "What you are selling to now are those wealthy merchants and nobles, and the medicine is drunk into the stomach. If it is cheaper, will those wealthy merchants and nobles believe it? They don''t lack money, but they lack reasons to believe. "
"Uh..., your angle makes sense." Wu Heng said.
Minnie smiled and said, "Sister Shanara is a rich woman and has experience in this field."
Shanara stretched out her arm and nodded at her pretending to be angry.
Wu Heng also nodded, "Then according to what you said, those people are so poor that they only have money, and they don''t care whether it''s expensive or not."
Shannella looked at him, "Hate against the rich."
"No, I also hate talented people." Wu Heng added.
Then came Anderweil, who also said: "The patrol team will increase the number and frequency of patrols near the opera house. One of the deputy deacons of the association will be responsible for external security, and the other will be responsible for the inside of the venue."
"Just make the arrangements." Wu Heng nodded.
A few people chatted for a while, and the table was cleaned by the skeleton.
When night falls, everyone returns to their rooms to rest.
…
The night was like ink, and the whole city was immersed in silence.
The opera house, which was magnificent during the day and was watched by everyone, looked particularly eerie in the darkness.
Brush~!
A tame beast shuttled through the night sky and hovered above the building.
Then, there were three figures, quietly approaching the opera house like ghosts.
Under the moonlight, a black cloak and a black mask can be vaguely seen, revealing only a pair of cunning eyes.
One person stood on guard, one controlled the tamed beast to hover in the sky, and the other skillfully took out a tool and began to carefully pick the lock.
The three of them were extremely cautious and did not dare to make a sound.
Just carry out your work according to the plan.
Treasure Island is so rich, I just want to steal something today.
Even if the auction items are not here, they can still make a lot of money. If the auction items are here, then their lives will change.
Click~!
There was a crisp sound and the door lock suddenly opened.
The moment the lock was opened, several explosions rang out in the night sky.
Bang bang bang~!
The bullets penetrated the heads of the three people front and back, blood exploded, and the bodies flew backwards.
Immediately afterwards, several figures walked out of the building opposite.
With straw mats, mops and buckets in hand, he rolled up the body, locked the door again, and then began to clean the scene.
"What wave is it?"
"This is the third wave, a group of thieves who are crazy and poor."
"Do you need to speak to eldest sister?"
"No, there may be more in the middle of the night. Search the corpses and keep the valuable ones. The corpses are piled in the backyard."
"good!"
The scene was almost tidied up, and several people left again.
Only puddles of water were left on the ground.
…
The next day, Gem Flower Opera House.
The magnificent hall is like a shining pearl, exuding an atmosphere of luxury and mystery.
The dome of the hall hangs high, and the bright crystal chandeliers cast soft light, shrouding the entire space in brightness and dreaminess.
Guests dressed in gorgeous costumes entered the venue one after another.
The acquaintances chatted with each other, discussing the magic of Treasure Island and what price the sale would achieve.
After a while of noise.
The seats gradually filled up, and the exhibition started directly after the bell rang.
On the auction stage, a wood elf in a black dress walked onto the stage. After a brief self-introduction, he said directly: "There is only one item on the auction, a physical strengthening potion. It has been certified by associations and consortia. Due to the scarcity of materials, it is difficult to make. Very high, a total of five bottles were auctioned this time.”
Wow~!
There was a commotion in the crowd.
"Only five bottles, so few."
"There are at least hundreds of people at the scene. Just grab these five bottles. What a joke."
"It looks like the competition will be fierce."
The auctioneer on the stage waited for the chatter to subside before continuing: "Bring up the first bottle."
The elegant wood elf maid walked up, carrying a tray and swaying lightly.
The silk opened to reveal a bottle of potion.
"The starting price is 500 gold coins, and each increase must not be less than 20 gold coins. You can start now. By the way, if you don''t have enough money to bring in customers, you can ask the staff at any time to apply for a mortgage loan."
After the auctioneer finished speaking, he took a few steps back.
Let the potion appear in the middle of the stage.
When the people below heard 500 gold, their eyes widened.
Just asking for 500 gold, is this like drinking immortality?
After a while of discussion, there was a brief silence.
Then, a human noble raised his number plate and said, "520 gold."
"There are really people buying it. Aren''t you afraid of being cheated?"
"It can improve one''s own abilities. It is a miracle medicine for people who are hindered in their improvement."
"That man is wearing an alchemy robe. He should be buying it back to study."
"That''s right. In addition to buying something to drink, many people also want to buy it and study it."
Amid the discussion, another dwarf raised his sign.
"540."
“600….”
“….”
"1080."
One bid after another, the bidding price skyrocketed.
…
In the private room on the second floor.
Wu Heng looked down along the window.
When I heard someone making a bid, and the bidding price kept rising, I was relieved.
I''m really afraid that no one will make an offer, which will make it ugly. Now it seems that Shannella''s judgment is still accurate.
Shanara sat aside and said softly: "What are you worried about? Don''t you believe my judgment?"
"I''m afraid they don''t know the goods." Wu Heng said with a smile.
"You don''t know them. Our high prices are in line with their impression of rare medicines. The second thing is that even if the suspicion is false, there is a possibility and there are still people willing to take a gamble. For them, making money is more important than It''s easier to improve yourself," Shannella explained plainly.
"What you said makes sense." Wu Heng agreed.
While the two were talking, the transaction for the first bottle of potion was completed at a price of 3,480 gold coins.
The man who won the bid took out bags of gold coins and paid directly on the spot.
Rich and wealthy.
Shanela continued, "This is the first bottle, and the last bottle can be doubled several times."
Wu Heng raised his eyebrows slightly and continued to look down.
…
Auction house, side.
Sheela was wearing armor and a helmet, leaning against the wall and watching the auction on the field.
When he heard that a bottle of potion was sold for three thousand gold, the eyes under the helmet widened instantly.
The money comes too quickly!
Judging from this price, the protection of this exhibit at the exhibition was obviously insufficient.
Fortunately, no problems occurred.
Sheela pushed her helmet and muttered: "How many good things does this guy have?"
"Really, I''m already a deacon, and I don''t get any limelight at all."
…
The auction continues.
The second bottle sold for 3,260 gold coins.
The third bottle cost 3,680 gold coins, and when it came to the fourth bottle, the bidding became fierce again, and the final transaction price reached 6,840 gold coins.
This price has eliminated most bidders.
Even if they are all merchants or nobles, there are still differences in strength.
When many people heard this price, they shook their heads helplessly and gave up the subsequent bidding.
Finally got to the last bottle.
The auctioneer reminded softly, "Everyone, the starting price for the last bottle is still 500 gold. If you miss today, I don''t know when the next auction will be held. Maybe there won''t be one in the future. Please start!"
The whole place was silent for a few seconds, and then someone spoke.
"Everyone, I am getting old. Please be accommodating. I will offer you 520 gold coins."
"Whoever is young, I will pay you 600."
"If we continue to argue like this, we will only give the island owner an advantage. I will pay 3,500. Let me see if the potion is real or fake first."
On the second floor, Wu Heng frowned.
You buy something, tell me what to do.
"4000, I don''t accept the increase."
"Staff, I have some gold items here. I''ll exchange them for some gold coins from you."
"I just bought the mansion from the city hall yesterday, and I mortgaged the deed."
"You are really sick, I will pay you 5,000."
For a time, in the entire store, people were scolding the island owner for being sick whoever bought it.
But one by one they started bidding again.
Prices have also skyrocketed.
The auctioneer is smiling.
Wu Heng and Shanara were also on the second floor with happy faces.
I have thousands of bottles of this medicine at home.
"32860 gold once."
"The second time…"
Boom~!
The gavel fell, "Congratulations to Guest No. 465, this bottle of potion is yours."
"Damn it." The person who was named gritted his teeth and was not happy at all.
Most of the artifacts in the space ring have been mortgaged.
I''m really not sure whether this potion will work or not.
The bidding is completely over.
Amid the auctioneer''s thanks, everyone left the venue one after another, talking about the sky-high price of the potion.
…
In a mansion.
The auction dispersed, and many people followed.
They all sat in the hall, looking at the old man drinking tea leisurely in the middle.
"Mr. Ultramar, don''t be so pretentious. Take the potion now and tell us what the effect is."
"That is, it also gives us a sense of whether it is of any use."
"Stop drinking water. What should I do if I can''t drink the potion for a while?"
The old man glanced at everyone.
With a smile on his face, "Are you using me as a testing stone?"
"It''s dangerous to keep the medicine on you. Let''s bear witness. If you take it, you''ll save yourself a lot of trouble." Someone reminded softly.
If you drink it, it belongs to you. If you keep it on your body, someone will remember it after all.
The old man nodded and took out the potion.
Several alchemists beside him were also ready for rescue, as well as several scrolls with healing effects.
Once in danger, rescue immediately.
The old man took a deep breath, opened the cork and drank directly.
The next second, the exposed arms and neck were instantly covered with purple and black veins, which quickly spread to other locations.
The old man also fell to the ground instantly and began to struggle in pain.
A moaning sound came from his mouth.
The others were shocked.
He stood up suddenly and fell backwards.
"Damn it, it''s poisonous!"
I spent several thousand gold to buy a poison.
