Mercenary Wars

Chapter 36 Auction

"Ninety silver coins in total," the powerful medicine expert said. "The blue potion that enhances intelligence sells the worst. I suggest you only make yellow, red, and cyan potions from now on. I can give you ten silver coins per bottle."

After a pause, she asked again, "Can you improve the effect of the yellow potion a little bit?"

Gao Jianuo finished counting the silver coins and asked: "How do I change it?"

"A client told me that within the first few hours after taking it, the yellow drug made him 'very durable and hard'... Do you understand what I mean?" The strong medicine expert's tone revealed a hint of feminine shyness.

Gao Jianuo was surprised.

Does the pseudo-physique mixture have this effect?
"Blood Magic Notes" didn't mention this. Could it be caused by the physical differences between humans and blood elves?

"Do you think this effect is more marketable?" he asked.

"Yes." The strong medicine expert nodded, "You can try to enhance the effect and reduce the side effects."

Gao Jianuo thought for a while and said, "I can try, but Sislon is an alien formula. I haven't studied it deeply enough, so I can't guarantee the success of the improvement."

"Okay." The intensive medicine expert took out a purse and a doll. "These one hundred silver coins are a deposit for the next shipment. I also bought this drug-testing doll in Axe City. It's better than the one at the Pharmacist Guild in Southsea Town. I'm giving it to you as a souvenir of our pleasant cooperation."

"Thank you."

The two talked for a few more words, and then Gao Jianuo left.

At this moment, a masked man approached from a distance. Gao Jianuo looked over and saw that it was the grocer who shared the stall with the drastic medicine expert.

The drastic medicine expert asked in surprise, "Why are you here?"

"To the auction, of course," said the grocer.

The strong medicine expert blinked: "Did the fortune teller tell you?"

The grocer nodded and waited until Gao Jianuo was gone before saying, "The fortune teller said that at this black market auction, don't buy anything, and it's best not to even bid. I'm curious what kind of auction item would bring about such a divination result."

“What will happen if I buy it?”

"I don't know, not even the fortune teller," the grocer said. "The auction is about to start. Let's go and see. Maybe we'll know."

The drastic medicine expert nodded, closed his stall, and walked towards the auction house with the grocer.

Gao Jianuo also went to the auction house.

Having just received nearly two hundred silver coins, he felt that he was unprecedentedly wealthy and wanted to go to the auction that he had never dared to attend before.

The auction house is located in the middle of the Black Gold Corridor, and is called the "Goblin Auction House". At this moment, it has opened its doors, allowing all kinds of guests to enter and take their seats, welcomed by two waiters, one male and one female.

Gao Jianuo found a corner in the auction house and sat down, looking around from time to time.

"Welcome, honorable Lady Erza!" the waiter at the door said loudly, and everyone in the auction house turned to look.

Gao Jianuo also looked in the direction of the sound, and then he couldn't help but open his eyes wide.

A beautiful purple-haired lady in a golden dress was seen slowly entering the auction house. She had a polite smile on her face and sat down gracefully while being surrounded and watched by the crowd.

Elsa, the queen of Pleasure Street.

Gao Jianuo was surprised by Elsa's image. After all, the most widely circulated rumor in Nanhai Town was the romantic affairs of this beautiful lady.

Some of these rumors are quite bizarre.

Unexpectedly, Queen Elsa looked quite dignified and noble.

After a while.

Another voice came from the door: "Lord Luoha, we are honored to have you here!"

Before he finished speaking, some discussions suddenly broke out in the auction house: "Roha and Erza are here, is there anything good at today's auction?" "Will Crow come?"

"I don't think so. I heard that he almost never appears in places where crowds gather."

Gao Jianuo turned his head again.

Luoha, a middle-aged man suspected of having dwarf ancestry, is not tall but very strong. His arms are thicker than Gaogano's thighs, and his lush beard makes him look as if he is wearing a scarf.

Seeing Elsa, the Nanhai Town boxing champion and underground ring owner grinned and said, "Ms. Elsa, are you here to buy something?"

Erza still had a dignified smile on her face. "No, I'm here to sell things. What about you?"

"Hahahaha!" Luo Haha laughed, "I've been a bit bored lately, so I came here to take a look!"

"Today's auction seems to be particularly lively."

"Yeah, I hope you can get a good price for it."

Erza said nonchalantly, "I was just a little bored, so I just sold it. Money is such a vulgar and boring thing, isn't it?"

"That's right, haha!" said Luoha.

The seats were already full at this time, but when Luoha approached a seat, the person sitting on it immediately stood up and gave a flattering smile.

A few minutes later.

The chatter in the auction house suddenly died down, and the auctioneer walked onto the stage.

Looking at the auctioneer with a bright smile, Gao Jianuo finally understood why this auction house was called "Goblin Auction House".

The auctioneer is a goblin!

Although the intelligence of most goblins is similar to that of mentally retarded humans, there are some genius goblins who are very smart and can even surpass many humans.

It was clear from his proper manners and shrewd smile that the auctioneer was one of them.

"I am your old friend Rivergaz. Thank you all for coming to today's auction! May Moza and all the gods who are willing to bless you be with you!" the goblin auctioneer said loudly.

"Rivigaz, what is the finale of today's auction? Could it be your ear?" someone joked.

Everyone laughed, and the auction house was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

Rivergaz also smiled: "Of course not, my ears are not worth that much - at least not at the price!"

After a few witty remarks, the Goblin Auctioneer's expression turned slightly serious. "Now, please welcome today's appetizer!"

As soon as he finished speaking, another goblin walked onto the stage with a small box in his hand.

When the small box was opened, inside was a silver arrow with some mysterious patterns engraved on it.

Rivigaz said, "An ancient mithril arrowhead from a tomb, enchanted with the effect of 'Demon Breaker'. If anyone is planning to become a demon hunter, I guarantee that this is an absolutely essential item!"

"Starting price: one hundred silver coins!"

There was a burst of discussion from the audience.

"Mithril arrowhead, the price is not bad."

"It's a shame there's a useless 'Demon Break' enchantment, and it's an unchangeable engraving enchantment... When was the last time a demon appeared?"

"I'll offer one hundred silver coins." Amidst the discussion among the crowd, the first bid was heard.
