Chapter 22
There was silence and they know Marquee was serious to buy the artifact. And Clara won the auction with 500 gold.
At the auction's Finals Items. There were two tables placed and they where covered with white cloths.
The Auctioneer then began to introduce the potion at the first table. They were 20 times Cultivation Booster that lasts for 20 days. And they are sold in 4 potions per set.
Auctioneer then gave them information that with these potions they can train a cultivation less mortal to Low Tier 1 in just 60 days if trained properly just to be sure we made 4 pack of potions.
There are only 5 sets on sale today and they will only be sold on auction once a month. there where lot of Nobles and Noble Representatives (since nobles from far away cannot reach or do not want to travel far for a small auction). Nevertheless, the representatives are on pins and needles right now. Their hope was that the Potions would be sold in bulk. If so, they could obtain 1 or 2 of them from The nobles who bought them.
Now the chance of obtaining them is nearly zero. And the auction started
It sold for nearly 80 gold.
Second pack sold for 65 gold.
Third pack sold for 65 gold.
Fourth Pack Sold For 70 gold.
Fifth Pack sold for 100 gold.
Then the 40X cultivation booster for 20 days was sold.
It sold for nearly 150 gold.
Second pack sold for 122 gold.
Third pack sold for 90 gold.
Fourth Pack Sold For 98 gold.
Fifth Pack sold for 140 gold.
Adam was not expecting the potion to be sold at such a price. He expected to receive 2 gold coins per potion. Now he has nearly 980 Gold from selling 50 potions. Dino has to receive 100 Gold, Pierce family 100 Gold, and Alchemy association 200 Gold. 9 gold 80 silver for the actioner. As a result, his net profit is 570.2 gold.
After Shadow knocked into the VIP room, Adam and Clara dressed quickly. And they both left the room and sent Blond1, Blond2 to collect the items. And returned to the carriage.
A few minutes later, Blond 2 appeared with the auction items. And egg , broken spear, few sets of armor.
Adam was silent and picked up the egg. In the storage area, the armor set and weapons were placed. There were only the artifacts left, and Clara pushed them to Adam. Adam was hesitant to take it. He did not want to look like he was leaching on his women.
Clara looked at him and then asked him how you planned to escape after doing the deed. You are my man now. What I own is ours, and what you own is ours. Remember I am the Pierce family head and Marquee. Remember you are the marquee now since will marry me.
Adam was faced with conflicting emotions as he wanted to share his secret about how he developed an organization. As he was debating about sharing his thoughts, Clara looked at him and asked when you planned to share about Victor and your private troops.
Adam was shocked and looked at her. She replied do you think you are secretive about recruiting your troops? You were like an open book, you know. Just a single shadow can find all the things you did secretly if you were not for the Pierce family you will be captured for amassing troops illegally.
He looked at her and said Clara will you be my wife? Clara was shocked by this scean because she thought he will try to postponed the time as much he can to achieve his goal what ever he was planing with the new troops he is building.
Since you have protected me since the start, I don't think you will hinder my plans for the future. After pondering for a moment, he asked why not marry me and join me on my adventures.
Then Clara looked at him and told him that the adoption to Dino would be canceled, and you would marry me the son of Baron Black Knight instead. Adam nodded and agreed and they travelled to the Pierce family mansion. This time instead of taking him to the office as always, Clara took him to her bedroom.
Her room was not too fancy they have necessary items thou costly not to the standard. Of marquee. Her attention was drawn to him as he checked her room. She said I don't like decorating my room too much. And she walked to her bathroom to wash up and change into casual clothes.
Then we both sat on the bed and talked. They talked about his ideas and plans. Clara was amazed that he was able to create 50 tier 1 warriors in one month without potions.
She asked if you could make someone reach tier 1 in an instant. He suddenly hugged her and gave her 200k cultivation points to achieve Tier 3. As soon as he hugged Clara, she had just reached tier 3. Clara's eyes widened to the max. Adam explained that he extracts cultivation, stores them in bulk and shares them with others to make them achieve high level.
Clara looked at him and asked how many people knew about this ability. Adam informed his first batch of troops about me using it. And they are completely loyal to me don't worry. He then showed her the loyalty skill that helps him see a subordinate's loyalty.
According to Adam, he plans to recruit 50 people and make them reach Low Tier 1 before they join the Explorers Guild. I can then extract them and create a self-sufficient cycle.
Clara thought for a moment and said your plan is reasonable, but if you train them in the warehouse someone will find it in someway or other. Hearing this Adam smiled and said i had the same issue before but now is solved with this. He showed the broken artifact and explained what it is.
Ancient ruins can be spotted throughout the continent. But they were mostly destroyed. Occasionally, one or two complete artifacts have been discovered, but they lack energy to operate. And most importantly Knights train their physical body so they can't control artifacts. While ancient wizards train mental energy. It is true that wizards exist, but they are one in a million nowadays. And since they don't have any proper training, they are only able to reach tier 3.
