Chapter 57: Hot, amazing response
"Have you heard? Today, the Raven Town Auction House is going to auction a treasure that can make people rejuvenate. I can't believe it."
"Oh my God! Rejuvenation?"
"Who told you this? Is it accurate?"
"Of course it's accurate. Baron Wright's wife told me in person. I swear on my honor!"
...
In just half a day.
The news that the treasure appeared in the Raven Town Auction was like a hurricane, spreading throughout the surrounding noble circles.
Even the nobles and merchants in some nearby big cities received the news and rushed over. Carriages drove on the stone-paved streets, and the auction house gate was surrounded by people.
The residents of Raven Town had never seen such a scene. They ran out of their houses and stood in the distance pointing and talking.
In a small place like theirs.
But it's rare to see so many nobles.
The only time.
It was when Thomas advanced last time.
As a result, Thomas refused to see them all with a word that it was inconvenient to see guests, even the people from the Temple, making them run in vain.
This time, no one knows who organized the treasure auction, which attracted almost all the nobles in the surrounding area, and they were all ladies and ladies, with a group of guards around them, all of them arrogant.
"If you ask me, our Raven Town has good feng shui. Look at the third son of the old Mike family next door a few days ago. Didn't he just learn magic? He was taken in by Sir Thomas."
A farmer carrying farm tools said enviously.
Although learning magic is not a good way out now, it can earn a lot of gold coins for the family and improve life.
Moreover, the title of magician apprentice is much better than the blacksmith, carpenter, and farmer in the town. It's like having an identity.
If you are lucky enough to be noticed by an adventure group, you will have the opportunity to meet those big people and soar to the sky.
"Do you think it's too late for me to send my son to learn magic now?" another woman asked.
"I don't think so. Look at the whole town. Sir Thomas only accepted the son of old Mike."
"I remember your son went to the city to learn fighting and swordsmanship. Why do you suddenly want to learn magic?"
"It's much easier to find a job as a swordsman than a magician now. If you're lucky, you can even be a guard for a noble lord, earning two gold coins a month. Don't be stupid."
Everyone was chattering and whispering in the corner.
For them, finding a stable and profitable job is more important than anything else.
And the current magicians.
Obviously can't do that.
So they envy them, but they don't want their children to learn magic.
On the contrary, the boys and girls in the nobles prefer this kind of fancy things.
I heard that Raven Town is where a new great magician lives. The topics discussed along the way were basically about magic, and of course the treasure that can rejuvenate.
Soon.
The noble ladies and ladies entered the auction house under the guidance of the servants.
When walking through the corridor, I saw a figure who was negotiating with the auction house manager. His black and shiny hair instantly attracted everyone's attention.
"That seems to be... Sir Thomas!?"
Someone immediately recognized the figure and exclaimed.
In an instant.
The whole crowd was in turmoil.
Because as far as they knew, this old wizard who lived in Raven Town was more than 300 years old. No matter how well he took care of himself, he couldn't have such young hair.
And it didn't look like it was dyed at all.
"How is this possible! The last time I saw Sir Thomas, his hair was all gray, and it's only been a few days!"
"A few days? You mean he only took a few days to become like this now?"
The exclamations started again.
Especially those ladies.
Originally, they didn't quite believe in the existence of things that can rejuvenate, but after seeing Thomas, they finally believed it, and it was in this auction house!
Just at this time.
Thomas raised his head and looked over here.
The skin that was so tight that it didn't look like it was three hundred years old, and the black hair that was carefully groomed, made them even more excited, and they rushed forward to ask.
"Okay, the next thing is up to you."
Thomas raised his mouth and said to the steward beside him: "Just say my name during the auction. If anyone dares to make trouble, I don't mind giving them a sixth-level magic."
"Okay, okay, I promise to complete the entrustment, you can rest assured, I will personally deliver the money to you at that time."
The steward's face was almost smiling like a chrysanthemum, full of flattery.
They are just a small auction house in the town, and they can't afford to offend so many nobles.
But it's different with a sixth-level great magician backing them up. Anyone who dares to make trouble here is simply looking for death.
At least in the entire Qingyuan Province, few people dare to offend Thomas.
If this old wizard goes crazy and uses magic at all costs, the destructive power of destroying the world is not something that everyone can bear.
So after Thomas left.
The steward's momentum also became full.
He personally went on stage to host the auction with the things he had prepared long ago.
When the black mushroom appeared in front of the stage and Thomas was told that he became younger by eating this mushroom, the whole place was boiling.
"Can you become younger just by eating it?"
"And the side effect is just diarrhea!"
"I can't believe that there is such a magical thing in the world."
"Buy! You must buy it!"
Crazy.
The ladies are going crazy.
As socialites among the upper echelons of the empire, which one of them doesn’t want to stay young? Who doesn’t want to be younger, more beautiful and more popular?
They didn't even need the supervisor to tell them the starting price, they already started bidding like crazy.
He even directly ignored the side effect of "crazy diarrhea" and raised the price to ten or even twenty times the starting price in a blink of an eye, which almost scared the manager to death.
Everyone else was also shocked by the exaggerated scene.
I didn’t expect that a seemingly ordinary mushroom could fetch such a high price.
And this news.
It also spreads from one to ten and to a hundred.
It caused a sensation in Raven Town.
"Crazy, those nobles are crazy!"
When the steward found Thomas again, it was already evening, and Thomas was enjoying the dinner prepared by the apprentices in the restaurant.
"Sir Thomas, they insist on forcing me to ask you if there are any more mushrooms like this. They are willing to pay double... no! triple the price!"
The steward came to him and said, sweating profusely.
originally.
It was nothing at first.
But when the lady who successfully bid ate the mushroom on the spot and came out of the bathroom, the whole auction house went crazy.
Everyone was shocked by the change in the noble lady. She became more than ten years younger almost instantly. Standing next to her accompanying daughter, she looked like a pair of twin sisters!
The noble lady was smiling from ear to ear, constantly showing off her firm skin and smooth hair at the scene.
The exaggerated effect made everyone regret that they did not try their best to take the mushroom, but also focused all their attention on the auction house, almost breaking the threshold of the auction house.
As a last resort.
He could only seek help from Thomas.
"So popular?"
After hearing the story, Thomas was a little stunned. He glanced at the heavy bag of gold coins on the table. It amounted to more than 200,000 at least, which was enough for him to renovate the magic tower several times.
But eventually.
He still said seriously: "I'll try again to see if I can get some more. Let them not have too much hope. I will inform you if there is any news."
"Okay!"
The steward was overjoyed.
He didn't have much hope at first, but unexpectedly it turned out to be true. He immediately resigned and happily rushed back to the auction house to announce the news.
Wait until he is gone.
Thomas didn't care about eating, got up and hurried back to his meditation room.
