Chapter 317: Legendary Elixir
As soon as Downton and his entourage entered the hall, a luxurious carriage drawn by eight majestic white horses circled around and stopped elegantly on the street in front of the hall.
This time, all the servants who had not received the guests came running over, stood on either side of the carriage, bowed and waited.
The eight white horses are all dressed in white light armor with ornate runes engraved on them, which not only provide defense, but also add to the beauty.
The four corners of the carriage and the walls of the carriage are carved with images of goddesses, scales, and holy sword patterns, and the whole body is painted white and gold, although it is extremely conspicuous, but no one thinks it is unworthy, because it is the carriage of the golden-robed priest Falfo.
Several nobles nearby also quickly stopped when they saw the carriage, waiting to say hello to the chief priest.
Among the three priests, Doppler and Andrea do not like pomp and circumstance, and also hate politeness and communication, while Falfo is particularly particular about the order of dignity and inferiority.
In addition to the old Falfer, there was also a young man in his twenties, with a slightly long face and blond hair, who was considered a sunny handsome man, but a little regrettable was that he was too short, and there were some ugly green scars on his left hand.
"Mondalcino is worthy of being a big merchant group, and his influence is huge, and several big nobles who don't go out much have come. The young man lifted the curtain and peeked into the hall, and his originally mocking tone suddenly turned into confusion after seeing a familiar figure, "Huh?"
"What's wrong?" said Falfo, who was about to get out of the car, and couldn't help but stick his head out of the window.
The person in front of him was a genius, it only took a year and a half to go from a potions apprentice to becoming a high-level potions master, and although he didn't go to the big potions master license, the entire association thought that the round of exams was too difficult for him.
In the laboratory, he had dealt with even poisonous monsters and abyssal demons. He had long developed a calm mentality of not being surprised at all times, but just now he was surprised by the fact that he was shocked and lost his temper.
"It's okay, I recognized the wrong person. The young man smiled gently, but the doubts in his heart grew heavier, and he stared at the hall. I wanted to reconfirm the figure, but there were so many people that I didn't see anything.
"Let's go, the auction is about to begin. Falfo urged, "Did you say that potion recipe was of the legendary level?"
"I don't know, I didn't find his name in the history of Potions celebrities, even though I got the autograph. The young man questioned, "So it's probably an ordinary potion recipe." ”
"Damn the merchants. Falfo cursed in a low voice.
With his status, he had long known that today's finale auction item was a potion formula. It is said that it was found by an adventuring team in a ruin, but Mondalcino's shili is not small, and he doesn't buy his account, and if he wants to know more detailed information, he can only take pictures of the recipe.
"Let's take a look first!"
The young man sighed, it is impossible to exhibit all the recipes, otherwise the guests will take the DV crystal to record the fonts and patterns on it, which is equivalent to copying. The recipe is scrapped.
In any recipe auction, only four parts are shown. The beginning, the end, a paragraph or equation in the middle, and Zuihou's signature.
Basically, the signature is the most important thing, because it's the signature of the potions makers who made the recipe.
Normally, the most famous Potions Grandmasters in history will go down in history. Therefore, the value of the formula can basically be judged based on the signature, after all, the grandmasters are too lazy to make ordinary potions into recipes.
The young man got his signature for the recipe auctioned today a week ago, but he didn't even sleep after so many days of forgetting to eat and sleep. But still nothing.
Then there are only two possibilities, first, this is just an ordinary formula, after all, the adventurous team will not let the pharmacist identify it for the sake of secrecy, and they can't recognize the value of the formula, so they simply say that it is a legendary level to attract attention, and second, the great potions master who made the formula did not leave a name in the history of potions for some reason.
This possibility exists, but it is too low, because it is impossible to completely erase the archival records of a celebrity unless there is a large-scale imperial war.
Every potion recipe auction is a test of the pharmacist's vision and experience, if you get a lost legendary potion, you can definitely go down in history, but if you miss, not to mention becoming a laughing stock, you will waste a lot of money.
The young man was so distraught that he did not greet Falfo, and walked to the guild hall on his own, but the priest was not dissatisfied, for he still relied on his potions knowledge.
"Weishenme is also from Morningfog, and that Downton isn't as knowledgeable as Joaquín?" Falford muttered as he looked at the young man's back.
Downton and his party entered the VIP room, and in less than a minute, the maid had already brought in with pastries and black tea, and then stood by them, waiting for the guests at any time to meet all their needs.
"It's so beautiful!" Elaine admired as she looked at the noble family and the decorative paintings, as a country girl, it was her first time in such a place, and the maid's kind hospitality made her very uncomfortable.
"Taste it, this is tea from the Eastern Continent, and every gram is equivalent to gold. The female priestess was quite calm, took a sip of tea, and nodded with satisfaction.
The big business group also has the courage and style of the big business group, if you take some broken tea to entertain guests, it is a trivial matter to lose face, and you will be questioned about your financial resources, which will affect many business transactions.
"Delicious!"
After Hu Tao tasted a piece of cake, his sweet eyes narrowed, and then he ran to Downton's side and stuffed the pastry into his mouth, "You taste it!"
"You eat!" Downton only drank tea, he didn't want to eat under the watchful eye of the maid, it would be bad to lose his ugliness.
"Hehe, you can hire a court etiquette teacher, so you don't have to worry about being rude. Andrea teased, "You will definitely attend high-class banquets often in the future, so it is better to prepare early, those nobles have a very shrewd eye, if you have a little flaw, you can dig it out." ”
"More?
While Andrea was speaking, Walnut had already eaten Hesse, drained an entire plate of pastries, and handed it to the maid.
"Hu Tao, if you want to eat, I'll go home and make it for you. ”
Elaine was a little embarrassed and grabbed Hu Tao.
"You don't make a good meal!"
Hu Tao was depressed, glanced at Downton, and probably realized that her actions were inappropriate, so she quickly put the plate on the table and sat upright, waiting for the auction to begin, but her big black and white eyes frequently drifted to the plate, which still revealed his careful thoughts.
"Go get a few more pastries. The female priestess commanded the maid and taught Downton, "You are too restrained, you will be laughed at, you can say what you want to eat, but there is a banquet after the auction, and the food will be very rich at that time, if you eat this, it will be worth the loss?"
"You can't eat at a banquet, do you? Don't you have to be underestimated?" Downton rolled his eyes, "Even if I haven't been to a high-class banquet, I can guess it." ”
"Banquets are places to get closer and talk about business, who is mainly for food?" explained the female defeterrean, "but children are fine, if you eat and drink, they will be treated as dirt buns." ”
"Your pastry. ”
The maid handed two plates of pastries to Walnut, she was of high quality and smiled throughout, without any expression of contempt or slackness.
Downton asked Andrea with his eyes, wondering if she should tip the maid.
"Well done, go down, if there is any request, we will call you. Serex pulled out a golden ticket and handed it to the maid.
The Banshee of Death didn't like outsiders, so she sent the maid away.
“xiexie!”
After the maid bowed and closed the door to leave, she glanced at the number on the golden ticket, and found that it was a hundred gold coins, and immediately appeared with an unconcealable joy.
"Why, look at the way you look and get rich?"
The other maids were waiting in the hallway outside the door, after all, there were some things that the guests did not want to be heard.
"I've met a high roller, and the reward of 100 gold coins is there. ”
The maid shows off.
"Wow, that's up to you for two months' salary. ”
The other maids were envious, and they all got tips, but they were all small gold tickets of five or ten gold coins, and the most daring one was also given a golden ticket of fifty gold coins because he touched the maid's buttocks.
"You're not being harassed by guests, are you?"
The maids felt that their companions must have suffered a loss, otherwise how could they be so generous?
"No, the priest is inside, even if the young man wants to, he won't dare?" The maid actually has a little regret, Downton is very handsome, she can't wait for the other party to take a fancy to her, if she marries into a wealthy family, it will be a sparrow turning into a phoenix, which is much more comfortable than being a maid.
"Downton, is your personal magic advisor really generous?" Andrea quipped, usually aristocrats prepare some small golden tickets for rewards, but it is rare to see such a bold move as Celesse.
"Generous?" Celes wondered, "Is a hundred gold coins a lot?"
"What was her identity before?" The female priestess looked at Celest's innocent expression, and was surprised, when the death banshee gave a reward, her demeanor was natural, and that kind of lofty posture was completely integrated into her bones, and it had become a habit.
"I'm afraid I'll scare you out when I say it. Downton smiled, grateful that Andrea hadn't asked where she had found Selace.
"Listen up. The priestess made a gesture of please.
"She is an imperial princess. Downton shrugged his shoulders and diverted the subject, "Don't ask anything else, if there's listening magic equipment here, I'm out of luck." ”
"Princess?" Andrea was genuinely a little frightened, looking at Celes with a suspicious face, and then suddenly realized, "Well, no wonder I felt something was wrong from the first time I saw her, it turned out to be the reason for that princess temperament." ”
The priestess knew that Downton was not lying, and before she left home, she had attended many court banquets and met some princesses, and their posture was exactly the same as that of Serex. (To be continued......)
