Chapter 110: dagger with the sand of time
That person looked anxious for some time.
He never expected that the other party could detect the problem in bidding so quickly.
Other also detected this and they stopped bidding causing the problem for the elder.
That person was unable to pay the price with red face.
So he was sent out of the auction house and was banned from entry.
Everyone knows that this was done by the original owner of the sword, but they did not say anything.
This is because that person has a strong background.
He is like a second generation rich called Robert from Clive family.
Well they are not as strong as Dumbledore.
But things change and no one is strong and no one is weak forever.
Since it is like that the person with the previous bid would be asked if they are interested in buying the sword.
That person is Jonathan and Dumbledore.
Jonathan and Dumbledore looked at each other and decided to buy the sword.
Well they are already making a profit here.
If it was correctly used they can make over 50 thousand gold galleons as profit.
So it was fine.
After spending another 18 thousand gold gallons they bought the sword.
With that the auction continued with many artifacts and items.
Jonathan would buy things occasionally that might possess traces of rare materials that can be extracted.
Other than that some rare herbs that are useful for him were also bought.
Getting these things Jonathan was happy.
Finally it was the end of the auction.
The last item was on the display on the slightly tilted table.
It was a small dagger with strange structure.
First of all it looked like it was made out of transparent crystal and gold plating at the handle.
The gold plating has an open and close switch that opens the back end of the handle.
The insides of the dagger handle are hallowed and it was filled with few ounces of multicolored sand.
This multicolored sand has a strange attraction which would make people want to release it.
The current amount is only a fifth of the total space of the hallowed handle of the dagger.
The auctioneer started to introduce the information of the dagger.
"This is a special artifact from an unknown origin.
It holds the key to the magic of time.
Unlike the magic that is used to travel back in time this can directly increase the lifespan of a person.
All you have to do is to release the sand from the other end.
Originally some people have conducted experiments on it and found that the full handle of sands of time can give the user around 100 years of life span.
It would make their body 100 years younger or to their peak position of the body based on the will of the user.
The reversal is not temporary but permanent and there are no side effects.
The current amount of sand of time present in the dagger is only a fifth and can give the person around 20 years.
It might not bring you back your youth, but it can still reverse 20 years of your life for you and your body.
The sand of time only works in this dagger and it was highly volatile.
After it comes out of the dagger it would directly becomes normal sand giving the life energy to the user.
Also one cannot fill back the normal sand into the dagger.
There are densely packed runes on the dagger that are like ants crawling on it.
But none of them obstructed the clarity of visibility through the dagger.
It is really a craftsmanship of a god.
These are the runes that would help keep the dagger contain the sands of time.
Now the starting price is 150 thousand gold galleons.
Every increment should be no less than 5 thousand gold galleons."
Immediately the people started the bidding war.
This time some really high level people from other countries started to
Jonathan did not have any thoughts of buying this thing.
Even Dumbledore did not want this thing.
The reason why they waited till now is because the value of this thing is really high.
But there is a flaw in this thing.
The people that had it before should have done a thorough research on this thing.
With the research information they can do anything.
Since they are selling it now means that there are two possibilities.
First is that they cracked its mysteries and have a way to make another one for their own use.
Second is that they are broke or had some serious problem that needs the money to solve right now.
If it was the first case then the person that buys this dagger was really an idiot as it did not worth that price.
If it is the second case then it means that cracking this thing is extremely hard and they would not be able to afford this.
If it is the second option then it is a little better but there is still a loss.
The research data on the dagger is still in the hand of the previous owner of the dagger.
That research data itself would cost few thousand gold galleons and lots of time completing the research.
So this means that the person that buys the dagger would receive a second bargain to get the research data.
It is like the modern day marketing where they would sell you a product where only they can repair that product for the extraordinary pricing.
Jonathan only smiled at the naivety of the wizards that are buying this thing.
"Oh, I forgot, wizards have problems with logical thinking."
Jonathan thought for a moment and smiled at the struggling old wizards.
The price slowly reached 230 thousand gold galleons.
It was really a big number.
The people that are currently fighting are actually someone from American wizarding world circle and the Russian wizarding world circle.
