Chapter 242: 242
Luke looked at his assistant who too had a dark expression when he looked at the pills, Luke spoke to him, "We are getting our hands on these pills at any cost . We might not even have a chance in the future if the war erupts on a bigger scale . "
He sighed and thought, "If Count John has enough Magicians, then with these pills we are losing this war for sure . Even if we have 10 times when it comes to magicians but we will lose in the long term and a battle of attrition . Not to mention those Cannons that they have . Our only chance is the Dragon Knights but these crafty guys(Demons and Dwarves) will spare no thought on supporting Sky and getting their hands on these Magic pills . No, even the Dragon knights won't be enough if they have magicians which can take down Dragon knights with the unlimited magic power of these pills . "
Elison had decided, "I will be bidding with 7000 Gold coins immediately . "
One of the magicians too had an expression where he couldn't wait to get his hands on these pills, "I am getting my hands on this first batch of pills . I can't wait until tomorrow . "
The presenter smiled and spoke, "I guess everyone of you had enough discussions . The bids will start from 500 Gold coins . There are a total of 20 Pills in this batch . "
The demons spoke gauging the situation, "1000 Gold coins . "
Luke's Subordinate, Elison immediately spoke with a roar, "7000 Gold coins . "
There was a big hubbub among people when the heard the price .
One of the commoners spoke, "What! 350 Gold coins for one single pill? Are these guys crazy?"
One of the old men spoke as he thoughtfully saw the pill, "Well, you don't understand the strategic importance of this pill . These pills will be very big when it comes to war or to escort people with importance . When it comes to life, People are always willing to spend a ridiculous amount of money . All of those royals will be trying to snatch up these pills whatever the cost . "
Without speaking any more, the other guy understood .
Alison smiled as he saw that Luke's Assistant bid, He spoke and asked Mist, "Hmm . . . What do you say? should we consider the face of Aelius?"
Mist had a teasing expression when he looked at Luke and understood his dilemma, "No need, those arrogant pricks need to be taught a lesson anyway . After the revelation of these pills, I am sure there will be a big commotion at their court where the ministers will be at each other's throats while the King too will be under pressure if he can't explain the reason for this war . He will be walking under eggshells . Many guys will be speaking John's tone that he was forced to rebel and that they must expose this conspiracy . These pills are anyway more useful to us nature magicians . We won't be feeling any pain or the need to wait for a month after one performance . These pills can help us raise more nature magicians quickly . Not to mention, we can focus more on raising those rare ingredients which take multiple years to develop by normal means . "
Alison too nodded and spoke, "Yes, these pills seem more productive to us nature magicians . Lord John has surely shocked us to no end today . "
Mist spoke sternly as he released his aura and the people below could feel his authority, "10000 Gold coins . "
One of the demons spoke as he looked at Mist with astonishment, "It seems, the elves too are interested in these pills . Meanwhile, who is that scary guy?"
The Demon ambassador smiled and spoke, "Well, these pills are too valuable just from their traits so it is no wonder that they too are interested . I am sure his majesty too will be shocked after hearing about these pills . We will anyway wait for a day to get our hands on these pills . It is good that we didn't make a move against Duke Friedreich or Lord John . As for that guy, he is Mist, the grand strategist of Ayanonore Kingdom . Though that guy looks feeble but never try to offend him . Even many of our Generals fear his Nature magic . We have lost a lot of top Assassins under his hands . We don't even try to assassinate him nowadays . "
Emena too was astonished as she looked at Mist who was serious for the first time after arriving at the Sky Kingdom .
Meanwhile, Binz looked at John curiously as he thought, 'Why does that guy seem familiar to me . '
Anin too thoughtfully looked at Mist and didn't raise his bid . He murmured, "Well, I can try buying these pills the next day instead of offending that scary guy who knows if he decides to interfere in this war and ruin all of the plans which will leave no space for other countries . It's not like there is only one batch of these pills . "
Luke too was pale after watching Mist himself making a move . He thought, 'Hmph . . . we are anyway out of money . '
Very soon the hammer rang and the presenter shouted, "These batch of Mana restoring pills goes to Lord Mist, the Grand Strategist of Ayananore Kingdom . I am sure every one of you enjoyed this auction . From now on, this auction will be open every day . And every month on 4th we will sell special items like we did today . Now, Lord John will take the podium and make a declaration to conclude this Auction . "
There was astonishment in the faces of a lot of people when they heard about this declaration from the presenter .
John smiled as the Auction Concluded, He headed to the platform with Taylor and spoke on a sound stone, "Today we will be officially announcing the existence of Winter City and Aurora City which we discovered previously . It will be part of the Sky kingdom . We have also tamed some land in the northern wildlands which will be part of our Kingdom . Winter City and Aurora will be opened to the common public from now on . As far as Dolores and other parts of Baron Mendez's domain is concerned, we have decided to hand them back to Baron Mendez who was previously in a cell . He was imprisoned by his son Antonio and had usurped his father on the orders of Prince Hector so that they can head towards Sky and invade us . It was also due to Prince Hector that our trade stopped after the closure of the Eastern port, we were basically forced to rebel by Prince Hector and hence we decided to look for other ventures where we created Winter City and Aurora City so the Winter city port and Aurora Port will be open from now on for trade . However, the rules must be strictly followed when it comes to these cities . The handover of the domain will be done in parts where Baron slowly replenishes his forces . We have also formed a non-aggression contract for the next 20 years . I am sure this will relay your concerns . However there is one problem, we have currently found traces of Black Death being spread at Dolores and the surrounding places . So we will be transporting a lot of medical supplies for the places occupied by us, but there is no need to worry . The cure is being produced in large quantities by our pharmacists . As for the guys who are infected by Black Death and are outside of Dolores, they can visit us anytime at Sky to cure their illnesses . If anyone of you has any concerns then they can Contact Internal Minister, Mr . Taylor . "
John and Taylor immediately left after the speech for the Administrative Headquarters .
Immediately there was hubbub when people heard this announcement .
Anin sighed as he heard the announcement, He spoke in a grave tone to his subordinate, "I guess they weren't joking when they planned this event . Anyway, try getting an appointment with Lord John and Lord Taylor . We need to discuss these thunder ores and mana restoring pills . Well, it is still good that they have decided to open the borders of Winter city and Aurora City . "
"Yes, Sir . "
Everyone got into action and started relaying messages to their superiors .
One of the Lords spoke as he headed to relay the messages, "This auction was certainly big . I wonder what changes would those mana restoring pills bring to this continent . "
Another guy spoke, "I don't expect good changes for now . Those Mana restoring pills are practically huge sources of energy for magicians . "
