Gilgamel let out a disapproving click of his tongue and remarked, "Potions themselves are blameless; it is the misuse of them that is the true offence. As a businessman, Darwin, you need not dwell on such matters. As long as your wares are within the bounds of the law, there should be no cause for concern regarding repercussions from the Magic Council. At worst, they may issue a mere warning."
A moment of silence passed before Darwin nodded in acknowledgment. He let out a sigh and confessed, "This marks my debut at the auction. I can't help but feel a bit apprehensive."
Gilgamel offered a reassuring smile and gave Darwin a gentle pat on the back.
He then went on to present the fifth treasure to Darwin, an exquisite necklace-shaped magic item adorned with a small iridescent abalone shell and intricate silver filigree, containing a sparkling blue sapphire gemstone within, which seemed to glimmer with an inner light, hinting at its powerful enchantments.
