drake is about a mile away from the 'gilded city', one of the richest city in the world only the super can afford to stay as most places are expensive and those who want to join the mage guild can stay at an guild operated inn.
he makes his way to the gate and is checked in by the city guard
"place your hand on the orb" said the guard
drake knew what this orb was for, it is use to confirm if a person is guilty of any crime and if they are telling the truth. drake places his hand on the orb and it glows gold
"now that's a rare color, haven't seen that in a while"
the orb color goes like this
gold = never committed a crime
white = things you have done as a child but nothing as an adult
blue = killed bandits and pirates
green = not a criminal
red = criminal
"i always tried to be good" said drake
"OK, what is your business in the city?" asked the guard
"i am here to join the mage guild and go to the auction house" said drake
"hmm.. your telling the truth so you can go through"
"thanks, can you tell were the guild building is please"
"just walk down the main street and you'll see a massive building at the end of the road" said the guard
"thanks"
he entered the city and he could tell it was a rich city, all the streets paved properly
and clean, all the store fronts are beautiful and the prices range from 10 gold 10 platinum coins.
at the end of the road there was a castle like building.
drake walked in and headed to reception it was very lavish and comfy.
"hello i would like to join the mage guild" drake spoke as he got up to the receptionist
"certainly, the next available time is tomorrow at 12:00, i can book you in and it will
be 1 gold to take the test and 5 gold for the guild card if you pass."
"that's perfect ill be in tomorrow, thanks"
drake grabbed the receptionists hand kissed it like a noble would.
"may i know your name?"drake asked
she started going red and her heart was beating like crazy, she was head over heels
when she saw him come but kept a professional face and smile but now....
"its Alice, may i know your name?, i'm only asking because i have to book you in"
smiling to himself he said 'she's cute
"its Drake, Drake custos"
it was the name he chose for himself custos means keeper/guardian in Latin.
"thanks, just come in at 12:00 tomorrow"
"thanks, see you"
as he was leaving there was a man who saw this and ran to a room nearby.
********************************************
standing in front of the start auction house, it is a beauty, granite, marble and amethyst is what they used for the building which was the size for a football stadium. drake walked in and went to the area to sell some beast cores and other things. there was a clerk at the desk.
"how i would like to sell some beast cores and other items" said drake
"certainly follow me please" said the clerk
drake followed the clerk to one of the reception rooms nearby, they do this for privacy and security of the seller. they entered the room, it was a simple room with two sofas and a table and a door connecting further in. it also had a magic core runes engraved on to the wall. it is so that only truth can be told in this room.
"now Mr?..." said the clerk
"Drake custos"
"Mr custos,what items would you like to sell?"
"I have 50 1st rank core,70 2nd rank core and this."
Drake placed a potion bottle in front of the clerk, it has a golden color and it has a powerful aura to it.
"sir is this?.." asked the clerk scared out of his wits when he realized what it was
"yes its the rebirth potion"
the rebirth potion is capable of enhancing the base attributes of a mage by 100%, it takes a lot of rare and valuable materials to make one potion but there is a requirement for it. it will only work for someone under level 20. so a lot of wealthy family will look for this potion when an heir is born to help become stronger.
'if the clerk ever found out i have more then 50 of these he would probably faint from shock.
"sir i'm going to have to call someone else as i am not capable of handling this item" said the clerk
"go ahead ill be here"
the clerk immediately got up and ran through the connecting door, two minutes later he came back with another man, he is about 6' 1", grey hair, a beard and was built. drake could feel a strong aura from this man.
[name: Oleg
title: vise grand master of the star auction house
rank: 7th
level: 748
element: dual mage (earth, light)]
Drake was stunned he did not think that the vice grand master would come
"my name is Oleg, i'm the vise grand master of the star auction, nice to meet you"
"Drake custos, its an honer"
"the rebirth potion is a priceless item, i will have to confirm its authenticity"
" go ahead"
Oleg casts a magic spell on the potion which is like identify which show the information of the item and higher level a person is the less likely for a fake to pass through inspection.
'this is a true rebirth potion, i wonder where this young man got it from" thought Oleg.
"this is a true rebirth potion,as it is priceless we can not buy it, but we put it in today's auction if you wish and we will take a ten percent of the price it is sold for."
" I can agree to that if its not trouble, but i would like to buy items from the auction, if possible could i deduct the price from the potion?" asked drake
"that is no problem at all, the core will be sort out once the auction is over, bring Mr custos to the no: 1 VIP booth" he said too the clerk.
"thank you mister Oleg" Drake and Oleg stood and shock hands and he followed the clerk to the VIP booth
'this is going to be interesting" as he thought about the uproar this is going to cause.
