after eating and talking faes sky and alison made their way to the auction house.
"prince ali, you go on ahead with sky i will be right there" faes said as she went towards a counter leaving sky with ali to go to the VIP area for the auction.
when faes first thought about earning money she had thought to sell few items for it but now she had quite a bit of money. every month faes receives her allowance from two kingdoms, along with her profit in nature's blessing, and of course now from the cult too, faes earned around million points per month.
after buying the necessities and giving out salary for eli and others she can still save around hundreds of thousand of points per month! and this had been going on for some time now. this had made her save lots of points but she also had lots of useless things in mystic fog castle currently that she doesn't need.
'so why not sell them?'
faes thinking was quite simple- to sell things not useful to her and earn money
as faes approached the counter she was greeted by a lady who smiled at her. suddenly faes felt a pressure weighing on her mind and used her own spiritual power to block it.
[hypnotizing arts detected]
[pressure dispersed- host wont be affected]
faes glanced at the notifications and then at the lady who look surprised but quickly masked it with a smile.
"what can i help you today with?" the lady asked
faes was actually interested that the lady can use hypnotizing arts but then she recalled what she was here for.
"i wish to sell few things in the auction"
the lady nodded and then gave her a token.
"you can go to appraisal room no. 1 there after the items you want to sell are appraised and prize are decided we will sell those items. the auction house would only take ten percent of the profit as fee" the lady explained before pointing at a corridor where appraisal rooms were.
faes nodded entering the room no. 1 after giving the token to the guard there. inside the room were lots of tables and empty area along with a few crystal balls and an old man.
"welcome young lady. what do you want to sell?" the old man wasn't surprised to see a kid coming to sell something and spoke kindly not to scare the beautiful masked girl.
"there are few medicinal herbs, fruits, some pills and potions and weapons" faes spoke
"please keep them on the table for me to appraise them" the old man guided faes to place the things on the empty tables. faes did as he spoke but as faes took out the items the old man's expression changed into shock.
the items faes took out were not cheap or common items but rare and valuable items. the old man can recognize and guess their quality just from a glance after all the years of experience. but if they were just a few he wouldn't have been shocked; what shocked him was that the quantity of items.
"this-" the old man quickly collected himself and began appraising items and setting up their prize.
"there are three hundred rare herbs stalks of thirty different herbs, ten different kinds of rare medicinal fruits each with twenty peaces, sixteen types of pills each having five bottles ten pills per bottle and twenty different kinds of potions. eight C ranked weapons, five B ranked weapons and one A ranked weapon.
the pills and potions are all rare or epic ranked high grade pills and potions." the old man was astonished after he finished his appraisal.
faes was not surprised.
"can i sell them in the auction?" faes asked as the old mand laughed
"of course! if these things cant be sold in an auction the we might as well stop selling things!"
"you just need to fill the form and we will handle the rest, you can also buy the items in the auction using the money you earnt after selling these items. here as you are selling all these high quality things in large quantity we would only take five percent of the profits and you will also be escorted to the VIP section for the auction" the old man proposed the deal.
he was hoping that the girl would come back again to sell such items and then the auction house will be popular making his earning increase. but faes merely smiled
"i think you are mistaken- i am already here to attend the auction as a VIP. these things are of no use to me currently hence i decided to sell them for side income." speaking this faes filled the form and took a token from the old man before joining sky and alison in the VIP area.
the old man wasn't dejected but decided to show the girl that selling her items here will profit her massively and try to befriend her for long term.
....
faes joined ali and sky in the VIP section just as the auction began. the host arrived on the stage in the centre of the auction area. there were common seats on first floor while the VIP section was on first and second floor. each VIP room had a full view of the stage but those outside the room cant see who was in the room because of magic.
"welcome honoured guest! we humbly thank you for joining the auction today and we assure you that you wont be disappointed!" the host began
"the auction will be conducted into five phases- first phase will sell all kinds of weapons and enchanted jewellery, second phase will belong to rare herbs, ores, and other items, third phase will have pills and potions,and magical scrolls forth phase will have all the magical technological latest equipments while the finale phase will have our specially prepared items!"
"let begin the first phase with an A ranked sword!" the host spoke as the audience gasped in shock. they had heard that today's auction will have treasures but the first item to be taken out was an A ranked weapon! the weapons of that rank are rare and very expensive!
as expected the host began the auction for the sword after explaining its details with a barely acceptable prize of five thousand points!
"six thousand"
"eight thousand"
"eight thousand five hundred"
"ten thousand"
...
...
the common people on first floor could only watch in awe and envy as the price rose. those in VIP section were after all rich individuals.
in the end the sword was sold for around twenty thousand points.
after one piece was sold the auction host began auctioning off other items. with none taking either faes, ali or sky's interest.
just after the first phase was finished faes had earned around two hundred thousand points! faes was now looking forward to her pills and potions not to mention herbs.
as the second phase began the crowd began to go crazy over the herbs and fruits. the host had divided the hundreds of stalks into smaller bundles and sold them one by one making the prize rise even more.
in the end faes earnt around hundred and forty thousand points from all those herbs and fruits. some herbs and fruits that others sold had also piqued sky's interest and hence faes bought them along with few seeds.
"now we present you healing pills"
just as the host announced this the whole place fell silent. they were expecting something amazing but healing pills were quite common and cheap!
watching the crowd the host smiled "no need to be dejected- these healing pills are no ordinary healing pills! they are epic ranked high grade healing pills!" just as the host finished speaking he picked a bottle from the tray a lady was holding near him and opened its lid letting the fragrance flow around.
the audience which was debating whether to buy these pills or not were instantly convinced of the quality and their eyes began sparkling.
if they were some low grade healing pills then they would have let go of thought to purchase them but high grade healing pills and that too of epic rank were not any inferior to A ranked weapons!
"one bottle of epic rank high grade healing pills contain ten pills, the bidding for first bottle will begin at ten thousand points" just as the host finished speaking voices began to emerge
"ten thousand one hundred"
"ten thousand two hundred"
"ten thousand five hundred"
"eleven thousand"
....
those in the first floor bid crazily but then people from VIP section began bidding
"twelve thousand"
"fifteen thousand"
"eighteen thousand"
...
in the end first bottle sold for twenty one thousand points giving faes a pleasant surprize.
if just normal pills she and sky made sold for these prizes then they should increase the cost of custom made pills and potions they make for natures blessing!
faes decided to have a chat with leo after the auction ends.
just as faes was lost in her thoughts of her contract with natures blessing the pills and potions were all sold. in the end faes earnt around 1 million points from pills and potions!
