Chapter 661 Take advantage!
"What? Give this magic card to Miss Adela? Don't end the auction yet?"
"What's that person's name? Where is he now?"
When Lolita saw the black card covered with inscriptions and a number in the attendant's hand, her expression suddenly changed and she began to ask urgent questions.
Lolita is such a smart person. She immediately thought of a possibility, that is, the mysterious pharmacist.
Because only in this way can it be explained why the man asked his attendant to come to inform Adela that the auction would not end, and also sent Adela a magic card for accessing items from the Holy Trading Company.
"Miss, after that person handed me the card, I came directly to the auction venue! He didn't say his name either!"
The attendant saw Lolita's expression changed drastically and didn't know the reason. Naturally, he was extremely nervous and immediately answered honestly.
"Ped, you go and tell the auction not to end now! Keep waiting for ten minutes!"
"And you, hurry up and give this magic card to Miss Adela, and then go with me to the front to find the person just now!"
"Yes! Miss!"
"Yes, miss!"
Following Adela's quick instructions, Pede and his attendants quickly responded, and then quickly began to take action.
At this time, Lolita and the others were still in the corridor on the second floor. The movement here naturally attracted the attention of many people, and their conversations were also heard.
Under the gaze of everyone, the attendant was seen running forward quickly, and then came to the booth where Adela was.
"Dear Miss Adela, here is a bearer access card of our sacred business house. A customer just asked me to send it to you, saying that he hopes you can go and get it immediately!"
"Huh? The access card you gave me? Do you want to take it out immediately? Could it be..."
Adela was naturally familiar with the deposit and withdrawal card of this sacred business company. She had only used it once a week ago.
But that time, Gervais secretly handed it to her with a book, but this time it was so sudden that Adela didn't react for a moment.
But at the next moment, I naturally guessed whether it was given by Gervais, and I was very confused as to why Gervais directly asked the attendant to give it to him.
"Thanks!"
But no matter what, Lolita still took it. If it was really given by Gervais, then there must be something to give to her.
Thinking of this, Adela turned to look at her grandfather.
At this time, Edward was naturally looking at the magic card in Adela's hand.
Adela said: "Grandpa, I'm going to get something now!"
"Is it your friend's?"
Although Edward didn't know the reason, he could naturally relate it to something.
"possibly is!"
Adela replied simply.
"Then grandpa will go with you!"
"OK!"
Afterwards, Adela, accompanied by Edward, walked out of the auction venue and headed to the building at the entrance of the Holy Trading Manor.
"Dear gentlemen and ladies, due to some emergencies, the auction will continue for ten minutes. Please wait patiently for a moment!"
When Adela and Edward left the auction venue, the host below announced to everyone present.
"What's going on? What emergency happened? Why do we have to extend the auction time? Are there any more items?"
The few city lords on the second floor heard the conversation between Lolita and the attendant, so they were just thoughtful and did not speak.
Especially when they saw Adela and Edward leaving with magic cards, they even had vague speculations in their hearts.
However, many people participating in the auction on the first floor did not know. When they heard the host's words, they asked with some doubts.
After all, if there is a bad emergency, the auction should be ended immediately and the crowd should be evacuated.
Now ask everyone to wait for ten minutes, this is the only possibility.
"Sorry, ladies and gentlemen, this is the latest notice from Miss Lolita! I'm not sure if there are any new auctions, but please wait for ten minutes, and we will have the results by then!"
Although the host was nervous, fortunately he had rich experience in dealing with emergencies and immediately spoke to calm everyone.
Although the people below were still talking after hearing this, they are all upper-class people in this world. Naturally, they are not in a hurry, so it doesn't matter if they wait ten minutes.
The most important thing is that this auction is held by the Holy Trading Company. Everyone believes that if there is no important matter, this situation should not happen.
…
The people at the auction were appeasing everyone to wait, while Adela, accompanied by Edward, had already arrived at the place where the deposit and withdrawal business of the Holy Trading Company was handled.
"Dear young lady, are you here again?"
The person who received Adela was still the same steward as last time. Although Adela's clothes had changed today, it was hard for people to forget such a beautiful face in a short time.
When the steward saw Adela, he recognized her immediately and was a little surprised. After all, Adela just took something here a week ago.
Now judging from the fact that she is holding another magic card in her hand, she is probably here to pick up something. There are not many people in the deposit and withdrawal business of the Holy Trading Company, but not many. Adela is picking up the items for the second time in a short period of time.
Items are really rare.
"Well, help me take out the storage items of this card!"
Adela didn't waste much time, simply responded and put the magic card on the table.
"Okay, distinguished lady!"
The manager responded respectfully, and then opened the register and began to look at it.
"Adela, did you take out the potion here last time?"
At this time, Edward, who was accompanying Adela, asked curiously.
"Yes, Grandpa!"
Adela nodded in affirmation.
After Edward got the affirmative answer, there was a little light in his eyes. The reason why he followed him in person was because he guessed that the magic card was related to the potion.
Now that I have Adela's approval, I think we should be inseparable.
"Dear lady, your access card number is 521, which was just stored in it! Do you really want to take it out?"
The steward asked Adela respectfully.
At the same time, he was full of confusion. The storage time of this registration was obviously today, and the ink was not completely dry yet.
This shows that the item numbered 521 was deposited not long ago, why should it be taken out now?
Naturally, the deposit and withdrawal business of this sacred business house does not have only one service staff. The person who handles the storage and the person who takes out the items are different.
So the manager didn't know in advance that the number 521 was deposited a few minutes ago.
"Well, I want to take it out now!"
Adela naturally would not explain to the steward, so she said something immediately.
"Okay, distinguished lady, please inject magic into the magic card, and then say the reserved message!"
Doubts are just doubts. Of course, he, the manager, has no control over how the guests want to spend their money.
After hearing Adela's words, the steward immediately responded respectfully to Adela.
"Um!"
Adela had her first experience, so she didn't say much, picked up the magic card again, and then injected magic into it.
When the magic power was injected into the magic card, the symbols appeared in the sky. Adela hesitated for a moment, but finally spoke.
"I'm Gervais's girlfriend!"
The attendant did not say any reserved message when he handed the magic card to her, so Adela hesitated for a moment.
However, if this card was really handed to her by Gervais at the request of the attendant, then the oral message should be exactly the same as before.
Sure enough, when Adela spoke the message, the number that appeared out of thin air turned from gray to green, and then the magic card made a clicking sound and split into two parts.
Edward stood next to Adela and took in all this, but he had some doubts in his heart.
"I'm Gervais's girlfriend? What kind of oral information is this!"
When Edward thought about it, this oral message was like a child's play, too short and too imprecise. After all, medicine was such an important and precious thing.
"Dear lady, please wait a moment, I will go and get item number 521 for you now!"
With that said, the steward immediately headed towards the storage room.
After a while, the steward left and returned, holding a small wooden box in his hand.
This small wooden box was very ordinary and nothing fancy. However, when Edward saw this small wooden box, his eyes lit up and he moved closer. This small wooden box was exactly the same as the last one.
"Dear lady, this is item number 521, please accept it!"
With that said, the steward placed the small wooden box in front of Adela.
Adela nodded, then slowly opened a gap in the small wooden box, and looked inside like last time.
"ah!"
When Adela saw what was inside the wooden box, it was the potion to increase mental power worth tens of thousands of gold coins, and there were five of them at one time! Adela was also slightly surprised!
This small wooden box is worth 150,000 to 60,000 gold coins.
The steward was a little curious when he saw Adela's surprised look, but the next moment he was driven away by Edward.
"You have nothing to do now, just go ahead!"
Edward's tone was full of majesty, so the steward naturally didn't dare to say anything more. He had nothing to do with him now, so he ran away immediately.
"Adela! Open it quickly and show it to Grandpa!"
After the steward left, Edward's originally majestic face instantly changed into a warm smile, and his tone was full of kindness.
Naturally, Adela would not object to her grandfather's words, and immediately opened the small wooden box completely.
When the small wooden box was opened, five green crystal-like potions lay quietly inside the small wooden box.
After Edward saw these five potions, the smile on his face became even bigger.
"Hey, there's a note!"
At this time, Adela saw a small note on the corner of the small wooden box, which she had not seen before because the gap was too small.
Adela immediately picked up the small note and read it.
"Adela, please help me sell these five potions, thank you! Gervais Gale!"
"Adela, what's written on it?"
Edward also moved his gaze over, wanting to take a look at the small note.
"Nothing, Grandpa! You just want me to help sell these potions!"
Gervais's name was written on it, so Adela naturally didn't dare to let her grandfather see it, so she quickly put away the small note and put it into the space bracelet.
Edward looked at the apple of his eye, and then at the potions in the wooden box, but after all, he didn't delve into the matter of the note.
Instead, he said softly to Adela.
"Pearl of the Sky City, you promised my grandfather last time that you would give him half of the potion after you get it again!"
This was the reason why Edward came with him. He guessed that it was about the potion. He had long thought about keeping half of the potion privately, otherwise it would be nothing to him if it was put at auction.
After all, if he takes too many pictures by himself, the City in the Sky will definitely be feared by other holy cities.
"Grandpa, how much... how much are you going to give me?"
When Adela heard what her grandfather said, she did not refuse. After all, Gervais had already told her that half of the potion would be sold on the market.
"Of course Grandpa will not embarrass the Pearl of the Sky City. Grandpa will buy it for 35,000 gold coins each!"
Tens of thousands of gold coins are really not a big deal for a big force like Sky City, so Edward simply bought these potions at the previous auction price.
"Okay grandpa, I'll give you these two!"
A smile suddenly appeared on Adela's face, she took out two potions from the small wooden box and handed them to Edward!
"Adela, why don't you give grandfather three?"
Edward was naturally not satisfied, so he continued to speak.
"Grandpa, this is the second sale. If there are more potions in the future, I will give you more, otherwise what if my friend is unhappy!"
Adela naturally refused. If there were six, she could split them in half, but now there are only five. If she gave three to her grandfather, she was worried that Gervais would blame her.
"Okay! Okay! Just two of the pearls of the Sky City!"
Edward didn't force it, and what Adela said actually made sense. This was the second batch of potions.
He still didn't know what the relationship was between his granddaughter and the mysterious man's collapse. If he really made the mysterious man unhappy and no longer entrusted his granddaughter to sell the medicine in the future, the loss would be even greater.
Before finding out the origin of the mysterious man, we still need to take a long-term approach to catch the big fish. After all, such potions are too precious.
Next, Adela and Edward stopped staying and walked directly out of the hall with the potion in hand.
And when they walked to the hall, they happened to meet Lolita and Alonso.
"Duke Edward, Miss Adela!"
When Lolita saw Adela and Edward, her eyes focused on Adela's face.
At this time, Adela had a faint smile on her face, and it was obvious that she had gained something.
"Miss Lolita, you're here just in time, I still have three potions that need to be auctioned!"
If these three potions want to be auctioned, they naturally need to tell Lolita. Now that Lolita is here, Adela speaks directly. There is nothing to hide.
"Is it really a potion that increases mental power?"
Lolita confirmed again, and at the same time she regretted even more. The mysterious pharmacist came to the Holy Trading Company at least twice, but she missed him both times.
"Yes!"
Adela nodded!
"Okay, Miss Adela, let's talk as we walk! The people at the auction venue can't wait any longer!"
After receiving the confirmation, Lolita no longer delayed, immediately put away her regrets and walked side by side with Adela towards the auction venue.
…
Seven or eight minutes had passed in the auction venue, and at this time, the host finally saw the eldest lady of his firm, and immediately ran over as if he had seen a savior.
After a while, the host returned to the high platform with a relaxed smile on his face.
"Ladies and gentlemen, good news!"
"Just now, Miss Adela, the pearl of the Sky City, once again provided our Holy Trading Company with three magical potions that permanently increase spiritual power!"
Wow!
Hearing this, the people participating in the auction on the first floor immediately exploded. Unexpectedly, there were three such potions.
The city lords on the second floor were calmer because they had heard the conversation between the attendant and Lolita before and had already made assumptions.
Of course, there are actually some people who are not calm, and that is Duke Hulton of the Golden Shield Holy City.
He almost got into a fight with Palmer just over this potion and spent 48,000 gold coins to get it, but now the host told him that there were three more potions like this.
"Aren't you fucking trying to make me happy?"
Hulton was furious!
Moreover, if the auction price of these three potions is not higher than his, then he will be taken advantage of.
Of course, all this was caused by himself and he paid for it with gold coins. Even if it was true, he would have no choice but to be dumb and unable to tell the story of his suffering.
…
"Adela, Duke Edward! Where did you go just now?"
When Adela and Edward returned to their seats, Gervais asked them curiously.
"Let's go get some items!"
Adela smiled slightly and replied to Gervais.
Edward looked at Gervais carefully for a moment, but when he saw Gervais's calm expression, he looked away!
Chapter completed!
