Chapter 57: Hot, amazing response

"Have you heard? Today the Raven Town Auction House is going to auction a treasure that can make people rejuvenate. I can't believe it."

"Oh my god! Rejuvenation?"

"Who told you this news? Is it accurate?"

"Of course it's accurate. Baron Wright's wife told me so herself. I swear on my honor!"

……

Just half a day.

The news of the treasure appearing at the Raven Town auction spread like a hurricane throughout the surrounding aristocratic circles.

Even nobles and merchants from some nearby big cities received the news and rushed over in a hurry. Carriages were driving on the cobblestone streets, and the gate of the auction house was surrounded by crowds of people.

The residents of Raven Town had never seen such a scene before, and they immediately ran out of their houses and stood in the distance pointing and talking.

A small place like theirs.

But it's rare to see so many nobles.

the only time.

It was the last time Thomas advanced.

As a result, Thomas refused to let them in with the excuse that he was not convenient to see guests, even those from the temple, so they made a wasted trip.

This time, no one knew who had organized the treasure auction, but it attracted almost all the nobles, big and small, in the surrounding area. They were all young ladies and wives, accompanied by a group of guards, and they all looked very arrogant.

"If you ask me, our Raven Town has good feng shui. Look at the third son of old Mike's family next door. Didn't he just learn magic a few days ago? He was taken in by Sir Thomas."

A farmer carrying farm tools said enviously.

Although learning magic is not a good career path now, it can earn a lot of gold for the family and improve life.

Moreover, the title of magician's apprentice sounds much better than the blacksmith, carpenter, and farmer in the small town, as if it means having a status.

If you are lucky enough to be spotted by an adventure group, you will have the opportunity to meet those big shots and soar to the sky.

"Do you think it's too late for me to send my son to learn magic now?" another woman asked.

"I don't think so. Look at the whole town. Sir Thomas only took in the son of old Mike."

"I remember your son went to the city to learn fighting skills and swordsmanship. Why did he suddenly want to learn magic?"

"It's much easier to find a job as a swordsman than a mage. If you're lucky, you can even work as a bodyguard for a noble lord. You can earn two gold coins a month. Don't be stupid."

Everyone was chattering and talking in low voices in the corner.

For them, being able to find a stable and profitable job is more important than anything else.

And now the magician.

Obviously this is not possible yet.

So even though they are envious, they don't want their children to learn magic.

On the contrary, the young boys and girls among the aristocrats prefer this kind of flashy things.

I heard that Raven Town was where a new great magician lived. The topics discussed along the way were basically all about magic, and of course, the treasure that could rejuvenate people.

soon.

The noble ladies and ladies were led by their servants into the auction house.

When walking through the corridor, I saw a figure who was negotiating with the auction house manager. His jet-black and shiny hair instantly attracted everyone's attention.

"That seems to be... Sir Thomas!?"

Someone immediately recognized the figure and exclaimed.

For an instant.

The whole crowd was in an uproar.

Because as far as they know, this old wizard who lives in Raven Town is over 300 years old. No matter how well he takes care of himself, it is impossible for him to have such young hair.

And it doesn't look like it was dyed at all.

"How is this possible! The last time I saw Sir Thomas, his hair was all gray, and it's only been a few days!"

"A few days? You mean it only took him a few days to become like this?"

The exclamations were heard again.

Especially those noble ladies.

At first they didn't quite believe that there was such a thing as rejuvenation, but after seeing Thomas, they finally believed it, and it was in this auction house!
Just in time.

Thomas raised his head and looked over here.

The skin that was so tight that it didn't look like it was 300 years old, and the carefully groomed black hair, made them even more excited, and they rushed forward to ask questions.

"Okay, the next thing is up to you." Thomas raised his lips and said to the manager beside him, "Just say my name during the auction. If anyone dares to cause trouble, I don't mind giving them a sixth-level magic."

"Okay, okay, I promise to complete your request, and you can rest assured. I will personally deliver the money to you when the time comes."

The steward's face was almost smiling like a chrysanthemum, full of flattery.

They were just a small auction house in town and could not afford to offend so many nobles.

But it’s different with the support of a sixth-level great mage. Anyone who dares to cause trouble here is simply seeking death.

At least in the entire Qingyuan Province, few people dared to bring bad luck to Thomas.

If this old wizard goes crazy and uses magic at all costs, the destructive power will be something that not everyone can withstand.

So after Thomas left.

The manager's momentum also became stronger.

He brought the things he had prepared long ago and personally went on stage to host the auction.

When the black mushroom appeared in front of the stage and people were told that Thomas became younger by eating this mushroom, the whole place was in an uproar.

"Can you become younger just by eating it?"

"And the side effect is just diarrhea!"

"I can't believe there is such a magical thing in the world."

"Buy it! You must buy it!"

crazy.

The ladies are all crazy.

As celebrities in the upper echelons of the empire, who among them doesn’t want to stay young? Who among them doesn’t want to be younger, prettier and more popular?

There was no need for the manager to announce the starting price; they had already started bidding frantically.

He even ignored the side effect of "causing crazy diarrhea" and raised the price to ten or even twenty times the starting price in a blink of an eye, almost scaring the manager to death.

Others were also shocked by the exaggerated scene.

I didn't expect that a seemingly ordinary mushroom could be sold at such a high price.

And this news.

It spreads from one person to ten people and from ten to a hundred people.

It caused a sensation in Raven Town.

"Crazy! Those nobles are crazy!"

When the steward found Thomas again, it was already evening and Thomas was enjoying the dinner prepared by the apprentices in the restaurant.

"Sir Thomas, they forced me to ask you if you still have mushrooms like this. They are willing to pay double... no! Triple the price!"

The steward came up to him and said with sweat all over his forehead.

originally.

At first, it was nothing.

But when the lady who won the bid ate the mushroom on the spot and came out of the bathroom, the whole auction house was in an uproar.

Everyone was shocked by the change in the noble lady. She became a dozen years younger in an instant, and standing with her daughter, they looked like a pair of twin sisters!

The lady was grinning from ear to ear, and kept showing off her tight skin and smooth hair.

The exaggerated effect made everyone regret not trying their best to buy the mushroom. They also focused all their attention on the auction house and almost broke down the threshold of the auction house.

As a last resort.

He could only ask Thomas for help.

“It’s so popular?”

After hearing the story, Thomas was a little stunned. He glanced at the heavy bag of gold coins on the table. There were at least 200,000 gold coins, which was enough for him to renovate the magic tower several times.

But in the end.

He still said seriously: "I'll try to see if I can get some more, so they don't get their hopes up too much. I'll let you know if I have any news."

"okay!"

The steward was overjoyed.

He didn't hold out much hope at first, but unexpectedly it actually happened. He immediately took his leave and happily rushed back to the auction house to announce the news.

Wait until he's gone far away.

Thomas didn't even have time to eat. He got up and hurried back to his meditation room.
