Chapter 113 Mysterious Porcelain Bottle
Linus Castle is the capital of the Grand Duchy of Stannic. The city was founded by the legendary knight, Nicola Jonathan, nicknamed Dragon Man.
More than a hundred years ago, the name of this city was St. Jonathan City.
After the Jonathan family's rule was overthrown, it was renamed Linus City.
The current Linus Castle has a population of 200,000.
The population near the capital is relatively dense, and it is considered the best developed area in the Grand Duchy of Stannic. The entire Linus County has a total population of more than one million.
Richard and others submitted customs documents, paid the head tax, and then rented a large hotel outside the city wall.
Looking at the size of Richard and others, it must be a large caravan, and the owner of the hotel deliberately said a few more words.
Through the mouth of the hotel owner, Richard learned that there was an auction held in Linus Castle a few days later.
The threshold of the auction is high, and assets need to be inspected in advance, and only hereditary nobles can get the admission ticket to the auction.
According to rumors, the items auctioned at this auction are mainly the property of a seven-ring magician.
This magician once settled in Ivan Castle of the Holy Glorious Empire. When he was old, he returned to his hometown, Grand Duchy of Stannik, and served as a baron of the royal court.
This old magician who came back from Ivan Castle had no children in his life. After his death, the knowledge and wealth he left behind fell into the hands of a distant relative.
Without extraordinary power, the old magician's relative could not control the old magician's inheritance.
So this relative of the old magician decided to hold an auction in the royal capital. After the auction, half of the gold coins obtained would be handed over to the royal family in exchange for the protection of the royal family.
This old magician is a star magician, and astrology is in his inheritance.
Astrology is a kind of prophetic spell. This spell contains mysterious power. According to Sofia, it is very difficult to learn.
In addition, the old magician's notes also recorded a lot of spells and wrote down very valuable experiences. Even the experimental records left behind are very valuable to magicians.
For the nobles, the lowest value is a few pieces of magic equipment.
Although Richard had 20,000 gold coins in his hand, it was estimated that it would be difficult to snatch such things as meditation, astrology, wizard's notes, and experimental records. It was worth the trip to get a magic equipment.
Several countries close to the Orc Empire are traditional magic deserts.
If you miss this opportunity, you don't know when you can buy a good magic equipment.
This auction also alarmed the big man in the Duke of Fox. This man is called John Fox, the younger brother of the Duke of Fox, and a five-ring magician.
It is said that a noble from the Grant Kingdom came to Linus City and met Richard in person.
The meaning of the words is that Richard hopes that Richard will not compete with him for the experimental records left by the old wizard.
It seems that this magician of the Fox family is very self-aware and knows that the most precious knowledge of the old wizard must be in the hands of the great noble Stannik, so he set his sights on the experimental records with the lowest value.
Before the auction, Richard handed over the family badge, moved a box of gold coins to complete the capital verification, and sat next to John Fox.
There were not many nobles participating in the auction, only more than 60 in total, and more than a dozen of them were foreign nobles.
There were four nobles from the Kingdom of Grant.
In addition to Richard and John Fox, there was a distant royal family member who served as an ambassador in the Grand Duchy of Stannic, and another border noble, a vassal of Duke Fox, who rushed over to join in the fun and gain experience after hearing the news.
After the auction began, the first item to be auctioned was the inheritance of astrology.
It was the finale item at the beginning, which made the atmosphere of the auction very lively. Soon the price exceeded 10,000 gold coins, and only four or five nobles were competing for it.
These nobles seemed to have discussed it in advance. After a few bids, they won a set of astrology for 10,500 gold coins.
Although Richard was rich, he didn't dare to snatch food from the tiger's mouth at this time.
He was still in someone else's territory. If he offended the nobles in Linus City, he would not be able to leave the border at all.
Richard disappeared in the Grand Duchy of Stannic. Could he still expect the Kingdom of Grant to avenge him? ,
Richard is just a hereditary baron, and he doesn't have that much face. Even if the prince of the Kingdom of Grant died in the Grand Duchy of Stannic, it is estimated that the two countries will not go to war.
Before participating in the auction, Richard knew that anything of high value should not be touched, let alone greed.
The second auction item was the mage's notebook. Like the astrology inheritance, after the price exceeded 10,000, several nobles bid a few times and it was sold at a price of 12,000.
Then there was the meditation method. Duke Shelly personally raised the bid, and the auction price was only 10,000.
The last mage experiment record had the lowest value, but the number of people who raised the bid was more, and the price was a high price of 16,000 gold coins.
John Fox, who was sitting next to Richard, successfully won the ownership.
On the Dawn Continent, inheritance and knowledge are often the most precious. If Richard and Sophia are willing to auction the results of their bloodline research, they can also exchange for a lot of money.
The heavyweight auction items were sold out at the beginning, and the remaining things were of average value.
They were mainly antiques, some of which were left over from the era of the Seven Gods, and they were sold for a few hundred gold coins.
One of the antique vases actually gave Richard a sense of familiarity. The shape was like a porcelain vase from the Qing Dynasty in his previous life. Richard had never seen porcelain in the Dawn Continent. He was very surprised by this. He walked up and took a closer look, and found that there were many Chinese characters densely engraved on it.
These Chinese characters were written very small, and they could only be barely seen with a magnifying glass.
Seeing the familiar Chinese characters, Richard was immediately frightened and almost fell to the ground.
After years of experience, his shrewdness was already very extraordinary. He forcibly suppressed the strangeness, and then quietly bought this antique left over from the Seven Gods era for 200 gold coins.
The last few magic equipment, because there were too many people competing for them, Richard felt that it was not cost-effective, so he did not bid.
After paying the gold coins and getting the antiques, Richard returned to the hotel quietly.
The porcelain vase glowed blue, and under the candlelight, it exuded a special luster, which looked a bit dazzling.
Ordinary magic equipment can be used as long as it is perceived with mental power.
However, using mental power to sense the Starlight Bottle was like a drop in the ocean, like an ordinary antique.
He took out a magnifying glass and carefully read the words on it.
Through the words engraved on it, Richard knew that this porcelain bottle was called the Starlight Bottle and was a space magic equipment.
