Celia looked at Liam: "Liam, I don't want to cut corners, but I would like to upgrade to level two tomorrow if you don't mind."
Liam thought about it then nodded: "Alright Cel, let's do this! So our order for tomorrow will be level two magic herbs. There are still six different magic pills, this time directly put fifty sets of each."
The manager no longer knew whether to laugh or cry: "Fif … Fifty sets of each, are you sure? That's enough to make three hundred magic pills."
Liam didn't hesitate for a second: "Absolutely sure!"
The manager smile at them: "Alright, alright, it will be done, I'll have them prepared today. They will be available from five this afternoon just in case you need them before tomorrow."
Celia was very enthusiastic: "So great! I can't wait to try them!"
Anaya laughed to see how her wife was excited, she was so adorable with her eyes shining with excitement.
Anaya pulled out a magic bag containing nine hundred gold coins and handed them to the manager, adding: "It's for today's magic herbs."
The manager took the magic bag and added some gold coins to it. Then he returned it to Anaya and said: "Good accounts make good friends."
Anaya after checking the amount which was three thousand six hundred and eighty gold coins replied: "I absolutely agree with that!"
The manager went to pick up the order for Celia, and after this successful transaction they left the magic herbs shop and headed for the building where the auction would be held.
This building was very close to the hotel and looked like an old opera house with its columns and arched entrances. The girls followed Liam inside and an intendant came to meet them.
Liam explained that he wanted to add a very rare item to the auction which was scheduled in five days, and that he wanted to see a specialist for an estimate price.
The intendant was a little taken aback but he motioned for them to follow him and led them to a waiting room, asking them to wait a few minutes.
Anaya made Celia sit on her thighs and rested her head in the crook of her neck, Celia caressed her head and asked: "Tired sweetie?"
Anaya replied lazily: "Whose fault is it?"
Celia laughed and added: "Who started it?"
Liam interrupted them immediately: "Girls, girls, in case you forgot, I'm still here! Spare me the details, okay?"
Fortunately, a manager quickly arrived and asked them to follow him.
He led them into an office and when they were all seated, he turned to the door, and with a wave of his hand, sent a strong concentration of spiritual energy which spread all around the door to create a kind of shield.
Celia exclaimed: "So freaking cool! Are you a mage? Liam, you didn't tell me that mages could also create force fields."
Liam sighed helplessly: "Celia, how the hell did you see that? And to answer your question, you won't be able to create one this effective until you reach level five, even though I know that you have already created one to protect yourself from Anaya's energy."
Celia looked at him surprised: "It was nothing comparable to that, it was just a thin layer of protection.
And honestly how could I have missed this? The concentration of spiritual energy was such that the outlines became glassy white. And the energy within, even though it was transparent, it rippled under the force of condensation."
Anaya patted Liam's shoulder and said: "Don't worry I didn't see anything, but how could my wonderful wife have miss it, um?"
Liam sighed again "Anaya have you tried to console me or are you making fun of me?"
The manager coughed to try to get their attention, he was also impressed by this young girl called Celia who only seemed to be a level one mage, ended up answering: "I am a level seven mage, and I am going to give you an estimate price for what you wanna put on sale. You said it was very rare, so I installed a force field to be safer."
Celia trusted Liam to protect them, so she hadn't tried to find out the color of this man's level, but took him at his word.
Celia picked up her magic bag and pulled out the regeneration magic pill scroll. To make it look authentic, she had brought the original one that was on an old parchment yellowed by time, she had also prepared a translation to facilitate the sale.
Anaya and her had kept different copies preciously in their dimension. She handed him respectfully the scroll and the parchment where the translation was and watched his reaction.
The manager took both of them and when he saw what it was his hands began to shake, he asked Liam: "You are a representative of the Northern Academy, aren't you? Can you guarante that this scroll is genuine?"
Liam replied: "This scroll was found in a place that leaves no room for doubt. You can do all the checking you want, it dates from before the old Great War."
Liam had just dropped a bomb and he knew it, he added: "We're coming here to sell it, but I won't say where we found it. And our identities must be kept private, this is not negociable."
The manager nodded quickly: "Okay, no more questions. This scroll indicates that the regeneration magic pill is of high level among the magic pills of level eleven.
To be honest with you, we have never released a level eleven magic pill scroll for sale, and to translate it, it was a great idea it will help a lot to get a good price for it. I suggest that we put a starting price at fifty million and let the bidding fly."
Liam looked at him and nodded: "I hope it's not too late to put it up for sale at this auction, right?"
The manager smiled at them: "You came just in time, I will have time to warn all the major sects that a new and valuable item will be on sale. The manager handed Liam a silver card and said: "It's a straight pass, showed it at the entrance on the day of the auction and you will be taken to a private box."
Liam thanked him, and the manager finally walked them outside himself. Liam brought the girls back to the hotel and once in their suite the three of them returned to the dimension.
Anaya had teleported them directly to the training ground. Celia didn't really want to isolate herself, but she still wanted to test her own limits.
Yesterday, after having finished doing the high level magic pills, two by two, like the others, Celia felt that she was in better control of her spiritual energy, and she wanted to see if she could do four basic magic pills at the same time.
She took Anaya in her embrace and said to her: "Sweetie, my beauty, my sweetheart, my fierce and so sexy little warrior, I miss you already."
Liam just said: "Oh please not again."
Before going straight to the combat ring to wait for Anaya.
Celia without giving her time to react, kissed her fierce fully, crushing her lips, then quickly released her and walked towards the space reserved for the mages.
After a few steps Celia turned around as she continued walking, winked at Anaya and waved at Liam, then disappeared into the path.
Anaya was still electrified by her wife's behavior, she wanted to run after her so badly and crush her on the ground, she had to bite her lower lip until it bleed to resist the temptation. She eventually calmed down and focused again on Liam and the training.
Liam had to hold back from laughing at Anaya's expression, so much so that it made his stomach ache. Celia could be a real tease when she wanted.
What an explosive couple they were both. He regained his seriousness when he saw that Anaya was again focused, he asked her: "Ready to fight?"
