Necromancers are frantically stationing troops in the apocalypse.

"Five hundred? Isn't that a bit high?" Wu Heng asked.

After the reserve price, there will be a bidding process, and the final price will increase several times.

Shannella smiled and said, "You are selling it to the wealthy merchants and nobles now. Besides, the potion is drunk. Will the wealthy merchants and nobles believe it if it is cheap? They are not short of money, but reasons to believe it."

"Uh..., your angle makes sense." Wu Heng said.

Minnie smiled and said, "Sister Shannella is a rich woman and has experience in this area."

Shannara stretched out her arm and nodded at her in a feigned anger.

Wu Heng also nodded, "Then let's do as you say. Those people are so poor that they only have money left, so they don't care whether it's expensive or not."

Shannella looked at him, "Hate on the rich."

"No, I also hate people who are talented." Wu Heng added.

Then it was Andwil's turn. She also said, "The patrol team will increase the number and frequency of patrols near the opera house. The association's deputy deacons will be responsible for the security outside and inside the venue, respectively."

"Just arrange it." Wu Heng nodded.

They chatted for a while and asked Skeleton to clean the table.

When night falls, everyone returns to their rooms to rest.

……

The night was as dark as ink and the whole city was immersed in silence.

The opera house, which was magnificent and crowded with people during the day, now looked particularly eerie in the dark.

Brush~!

A tamed beast flew through the night sky, hovering above the building.

Then, three figures approached the opera house quietly like ghosts.

In the moonlight, one can vaguely see a black cloak and a black mask, revealing only a pair of cunning eyes.

One person stood on guard, one controlled the beast to circle in the sky, and the other person skillfully took out tools and began to carefully pry the lock.

The three of them were extremely cautious and did not dare to make the slightest noise.

Just do your work according to the plan.

Treasure Island is so rich, I just want to steal something today.

Even if the auction items were not here, they could still make a lot of money. If the auction items were here, then their lives would be changed.

Click~!

With a crisp sound, the door lock suddenly opened.

And the moment the lock was opened, several explosions were heard in the night sky.

Bang Bang Bang ~!

The bullet pierced through the three people's heads from front to back, blood exploded, and their bodies flew backwards.

Then, several figures walked out of the building opposite.

Mat, mop and bucket in hand, he rolled up the body, relocked the door, and began to clean up the scene.

"Which wave is it?"

"It's the third wave, a bunch of poor thieves who are crazy."

"Do I need to tell my elder sister?"

"No, there may be more in the second half of the night. Search the bodies and keep the valuables. The bodies will be piled in the backyard."

"it is good!"

The scene was almost cleaned up and the few people left again.

Only puddles of water were left on the ground.

……

The next day, the Jewel Flower Opera House.

The magnificent hall, like a shining pearl, exudes an atmosphere of luxury and mystery.

The dome of the hall hangs high, and the dazzling crystal chandeliers cast soft light, shrouding the entire space in brightness and dreaminess.

The guests, dressed in gorgeous costumes, entered the venue one after another.

Those who knew each other chatted with each other, discussing the wonders of Treasure Island and what price the items would reach in this sale.

After a burst of noise.

The seats were gradually filled, and the exhibition began immediately after the ringing of a bronze bell.

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 for auction, a physical strengthening potion that has been certified by the association and the consortium. Due to the scarcity of materials, it is very difficult to make. A total of five bottles will be auctioned this time."

Wow~!

There was a commotion among the crowd.

"Just five bottles, so little."

"There are at least several hundred people at the scene, just grabbing these five bottles, what a joke."

“It looks like the competition will be fierce.”

The auctioneer on the stage waited until the discussion died down before continuing, "First bottle, bring it up."

The elegant wood elf maid came up with a tray in her hand, swaying her waist.

The silk opened, revealing a bottle of potion.

"The starting price is 500 gold coins, and each bid must not be less than 20 gold coins. You can start now. By the way, if you don't have enough money, you can tell the staff at any time to apply for a mortgage loan."

After the auctioneer finished speaking, he took two steps back.

Let the potion appear in the center of the stage.

When the people below heard the word 500 gold, their eyes widened.

500 gold coins right off the bat, is this a drink of immortality?

After a while of discussion, there was a brief silence.

Then, a human noble raised his number plate, "520 gold."

"Are there really people buying it? Aren't you afraid of being cheated?"

"It can improve one's own abilities. For those whose improvement is hindered, it is a miracle drug."

"That person is wearing an alchemical robe. I think he wants to buy it back for research."

"That's right. In addition to buying it to drink, many people also want to buy it to study."

Amid the discussion, another dwarf raised a sign.

"540."

“600….”

"..."

"1080."

Bids came one after another, and the bidding price soared.

……

In the private room on the second floor.

Wu Heng looked down through the window.

I felt relieved when I heard someone make an offer and the bidding price kept rising.

I'm really worried that no one will make an offer, and then it will be awkward and awkward.

Now it seems that Shannara's judgment was correct.

Shannella sat aside and whispered, "What are you worried about? Don't you trust my judgment?"

"I'm afraid they don't know the value of it." Wu Heng said with a smile.

"You don't understand them. Our high price matches their impression of rare potions. Secondly, even if they suspect it's fake, the possibility exists and some people are still willing to take a gamble. For them, making money is easier than improving themselves." Shannara explained calmly.

"What you said makes sense." Wu Heng agreed.

As the two were talking, the first bottle of potion was sold for 3480 gold coins.

The man who won the bid took out bags of gold coins and paid on the spot.

Rich and wealthy.

Shannara continued, "This is the first bottle, and the last bottle will be several times more."

Wu Heng raised his eyebrows slightly and continued to look down.

……

Auction floor, one side.

Xilagui, wearing armor and a helmet, leaned against the wall and watched the auction.

When he heard that a bottle of potion was sold for three thousand gold, his eyes under the helmet widened instantly.

This money comes too quickly!

Judging from the price, the protection of this exhibit at the exhibition was clearly inadequate.

Fortunately, no problems occurred.

Xilagui pushed her helmet and muttered, "How many good things does this guy have?"

"Really? I'm already a deacon, but I don't have any limelight at all."

……

The auction continues.

The second bottle sold for 3260 gold coins.

The third bottle was for 3680 gold coins, and by the fourth bottle, the bidding became fierce again, with the final transaction price reaching 6840 gold coins.

This price has eliminated most bidders.

Even if they are all businessmen or nobles, there are differences in strength.

When many people heard this price, they shook their heads helplessly and gave up the subsequent bidding.

Finally the last bottle.

The auctioneer gently reminded, "Everyone, this is the last bottle. The starting price is still 500 gold. If you miss today, you don't know when the next auction will be. Maybe there won't be one in the future. Everyone, please start!"

The whole audience was silent for a few seconds, and then someone spoke.

"Everyone, I am old, so please be flexible. I will offer 520 gold coins."

"Whoever is younger, I'll give you 600."

"If we continue to fight like this, it will only benefit that island owner. I'll offer 3500. Let me see if the potion is real or fake first."

On the second floor, Wu Heng frowned.

You buy something, why do you ask me for help?

"4000, I'll raise the price if you don't agree."

"Staff, I have some gold items here. I want to exchange them for some gold coins from you."

"I just bought the mansion from the City Hall yesterday, and I mortgaged the title deed."

"You guys are really sick. I'll give you 5000."

For a moment, people in the entire mall were cursing whoever bought it was crazy and that whoever bought it would get a bargain for the island owner.

But one by one they started bidding again.

Prices also soared.

The auctioneer smiled.

Wu Heng and Shannara were also on the second floor, looking happy.

We need thousands of bottles of this medicine at home.

"32860 gold per time."

“The second time…”

Boom~!

The gavel fell. "Congratulations, guest 465. This bottle of potion is yours."

"Damn it." The person who was named gritted his teeth, not feeling happy at all.

Most of the objects in the space ring have been mortgaged.

I'm not sure whether this medicine will work or not.

The auction is completely over.

Amid the auctioneer's thanks, everyone left the venue, still talking about the sky-high priced potion.

……

Inside a mansion.

After the auction ended, many people came here together.

They all sat in the hall, looking at the old man in the middle who was leisurely drinking tea.

"Mr. Otmar, please don't keep us in suspense. Take the medicine now and tell us what the effect is."

"That's right. It also gives us some idea of ​​whether it is useful or not."

"Don't drink the water. What if you can't drink the medicine later?"

The old man glanced at the crowd.

With a smile on his face, he asked, "Are you using me as a test stone?"

"It's dangerous to leave the medicine in your body. Let us be a witness so that you can take it and avoid a lot of trouble." Someone reminded softly.

It belongs to you only after you drink it. If you keep it with you, someone will remember it eventually.

The old man nodded and took out the potion.

Several alchemists nearby were also ready for the rescue and had several scrolls with healing effects.

If there is danger, rescue immediately.

The old man took a deep breath, opened the cork and drank it directly with his head tilted back.

The next second, the exposed arms and neck were instantly covered with purple-black veins, which quickly spread to other parts of the body.

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 startled.

He stood up suddenly and stepped backwards.

"Shit, it's poisonous!"

I spent several thousand gold coins to buy a poison.
