The hooves of "Karakala" sounded on the stone path in the countryside. A camel-drawn cart with a dull color but decorated with ornate carvings rushed into the small town south of Santo An, the capital of the Hess Empire. "Grassing".
It was about the time after dinner. This small town located around the capital and mainly lived in due to the inconvenient roads to the outside world. At this moment, every household has closed their doors and entered the time to rest at night.The rushing carts were walking on the path, and they didn't seem to want to disturb the peace of the surrounding residents. The scolding of the coachman driving the beasts was a suppressed low voice.Judging from the habits of ordinary nobles, this is either furtive or very unusually considerate.
The town is not big, and after pulling the cart into the main road of the town, they immediately found their target. With a soft shout of "Yu--", the rushing Luo Beast snorted a few times and then stopped.The coachman quickly got off the front seat of the car, opened the door of the carport, and helped out a figure in a black cloak.
After the figure got out of the car, as if trying to cover something up, a slender, white hand raised the cloak to make sure it completely covered him, and then he walked quickly to a small place where the cart was parked. hospital.But from that hand, and the embroidered skirt showing from the hem of the cloak as he walked, it was easy to know that the person under the cloak should be a noble lady or young lady.
"Kangkangkang," the man who was a coachman and servant knocked on the metal buckle set in front of the other courtyard. Through a special design, this will be well transmitted to the main house.Sure enough, within a few minutes, the doors and windows in front of the other courtyard became brighter, and a servant with a lamp appeared to answer the door.After talking with the visitor in a low voice, he immediately welcomed the two people who came on the way into the house respectfully.

"Ms. Al Rock? Why are you here at this hour? Is there something urgent?"
Fortunately, Mrs. Mayfield, who hadn't washed up yet, rushed to the small hall in surprise to meet this distinguished guest who suddenly came from the capital.
Even, this is not his potion workshop, but his home.
Mrs. Alrock, who just pushed down the brim of her hat, smiled nervously, "I'm sorry to disturb Madam's rest, I'm really rude at this late hour, but I just happened to pass by, thinking that Madam lives nearby, so, I will explain to you by the way. a few words..."
Mrs. Mayfair didn't want to point out her home address, not everyone knows it; this kind of "stopping" itself is a strange thing, she smiled calmly, "Why, please trouble Madam to make a special trip, it's me I don’t think so. Is there anything I can do for Madam?” After a pause, he added, “Could it be the amethyst hibiscus ointment that I sent over a few days ago, what’s wrong?”
"No, hibiscus ointment is very good, very good," the young Mrs. Alrock quickly shook her head, "Everything that Madam brought out is very good, so, so, this..." There was some hesitation at this point, " this--"
In line with Mrs. Alrock's blushing face and clenched fingers, Mrs. Mayfair thought about it, and immediately knew why the noble lady came here late at night.Mrs. Mayfield couldn't help sighing in her heart. Five or six ladies had already inquired about her secretly, but none of them killed her directly at her home like the one in front of her.
Mrs. Mayfair nodded with a steady expression, "If there is no problem, that would be great. Coincidentally, I also want to mention this 'Midnight Gem' to Madam..."
Mrs. Alrock heard it, her complex expression was a little nervous, "Midnight Gem, what's wrong?"
Mrs. Mayfair sighed slightly distressed, "Although this is very impolite, if Madam is not interested in the 'Midnight Gem', can you return it to me? There are too many people asking for more from me right now, but I have The quantity is really limited, which makes it difficult for me..."
Mrs. Alrock opened her mouth, then bit it again, "...A lot of people want it from you?"
Mrs. Mayfair nodded, "Yes. Many ladies said that this treatment really worked, and the Sir's energy improved the next day. It wasn't harmful to the body. I was anxious to try it again. Therefore, the lady still kept it on hand. Is it?"
Mrs. Al Rock blushed when she was asked back, she lowered her head and stammered, "But, I don't have any... Our Lord used it, and it's very good... So... this..." The young man Madam has a thin skin and has been unable to make her own request.
"Oh," Madam Mayfield looked disappointed, "that's it. Well, I had a glimmer of hope at first."
Mrs. Alrock looked even more disappointed than Mrs. Mayfair, and asked leisurely, "So... so, Madam doesn't have much left?"
"I'm gone," Mrs. Mayfield sighed, and then patted the young lady's clenched hands soothingly. "However, I have better news for you."
"What?" Mrs. Alrock raised her eyes.
"Starting next week, the 'Midnight Gem' will be regularly auctioned in Potts."
"As long as you have money, anyone can buy it."
***
Pound decided to hand over the "Midnight Gem" to Potts for auction, and thought about it for a while.
The original idea of diversifying risks made Pound not willing to put all his cards on Potts' side, but if they were handed over to other auction houses for auction; Leaking the wind, this kind of operation of his own made him offend Pozi to some extent.
Therefore, instead of pursuing a low-key not to show off their wealth, it is better to let the necessary few people know their family background, and then form a community of interests. Perhaps in this world where common people may be oppressed by nobles at any time, it is a safer approach.
Considering the above, Pound, Funk, the two little ones, and Jacob and his group used the teleportation scrolls to make a trip to the capital Santo An this weekend, and they are now gathered at the fifth-level auction in Potts. In the private box, eating and drinking, waiting for the first auction of "Midnight Gem".
The capital was chosen because Madam Mayfield's customers were all concentrated in the capital. As for the reason why it was a sixth-level auction house instead of a first-level auction house, it was because Pound listed "Midnight Gem" as a potion with unknown ingredients.When this kind of potion that refuses to disclose its ingredients is auctioned, the auction house can only use the declared efficacy to roughly evaluate its value.And Pang De wrote the medicinal effect of "Midnight Gem" very simply, it is just a mild aphrodisiac, and it is not so rare and precious at first glance. After such a evaluation, it was assigned to the sixth-level auction house.
In the box of the auction house.
"What if the first box cannot be sold?"
Ge Ya stared at the auction bulletin in his hand, on which was written the lowest reserve price of "Midnight Gem".
Pound offered a box (20) of 1000 gold coins; equal to 50 gold coins for a mouthful of medicine, equivalent to half a year's salary of a civilian handyman.And they decide to sell seven boxes every week, and the seven boxes will be bid separately, which is equal to seven biddings. The reserve price of the second box bidding will be increased to the transaction price of the first box; similarly, the reserve price of the third box will be increased to the transaction price of the second box price, and so on.And the price was twice as high as what they had originally booked, and even Ge Ya was a little worried.
"Even if the bidding price isn't too high, it's unlikely that you won't be able to sell even one box. In the capital, there will definitely be rich and curious noble ladies," Pound shrugged, "Madame Mayfair's previous strategy , the purpose is to arouse curiosity."
Speaking of Mrs. Mayfield, Ge Ya’s voice was a little dry, “I thought you would start with the men, but I didn’t expect you to start with the lady.” When discussing the effects of medicine on women with Mrs. Mayfield, Ge Ya But blushed by the outspoken Mrs. Mayfield.
"It's just using existing resources," Pound raised his eyebrows. "In addition, the image of "Midnight Gem" will be more positive and expensive if it is promoted from Madam. Madam Mayfair is also admirable. Linked to the issue of heirs, for this alone, it is completely worthwhile to share [-]% of the bonus."
While talking, Pound was combing the hairball's head with a magic spell, making the hairball snore comfortably.Because there will be a product introduction after it goes on sale, he doesn't want children to hear too much of it.The hairball was smoothed out like this, and Goldo on the other side also turned back into a beast shape for Funk to comb.I saw Goldo flicking his tail, which seemed to be equally comfortable.
"Indeed, you have found the right person to sell, and you can turn the dead into a living," Ge Ya muttered, adding a venomous tongue, "If Hestia hears it, he might believe it. Isn't he just short of a son?"
"But her probability theory is also correct?" Pound pointed out flatly.
At this moment, Funk interrupted and asked, "How old is your emperor?"
Ge Ya thought for a while, "It seems to be around 65?"
Pound smirked, "If it's well maintained, it might work."
"You won't be able to laugh at that time," Ge Ya rolled his eyes, "if you really let Hesti eat it, nothing will become something."
Pound paused, then nodded, "That's right, then let's add another word to the warning on the box."
According to Jacob, the concept of so-called drug responsibility has not yet been developed in the system of the Hess Empire.All kinds of potions can be sold in the market, and the auction house is also full of mysterious potions with unknown ingredients. Under the general idea that those who are willing to drink them should bear their own responsibility, few people will turn back to find medicines. compensation.But if the emperor's health is involved, it is not a joke, and it must be treated with caution.
"Oh, then you want to write 'It is strictly forbidden to feed beasts and the emperor'?" Funk took a look at the sample at hand, and said.
"...Something seems wrong?"
"Nowhere is it right!"
Even if Pound did add a warning at the end, no one really took it as a possibility in the jokes in the box at the moment.
But in the near future, Ge Ya's crow's mouth really hit the mark.
***
Finally, this weekend, the seven boxes of "Midnight Gems" were successfully auctioned off as Pound expected.
Even when the bidding for the first box first started, there was a few minutes of silence in the venue.
When Jacob looked around frequently, Pang De pushed Funk. After understanding it, Funk first raised his sign and shouted "1200!". This sound seemed to break a certain spell, and opened the fierceness of "Midnight Gem". bidding.
By the time the seventh box was sold, the transaction price had risen to 12000 gold coins per box, far exceeding the price by more than 10 times.
When "Midnight Gem" became more widely known, Pound and Funk, together with Jacob, accumulated wealth that can only be described as explosive.
