Ruby's Otherworldly Adventure

The potion formula brought by Ophelia is very complicated. It records dozens of procedures and dozens of medicinal materials. Those densely packed small characters make people dizzy at first glance. Ruby was shocked when she saw it for the first time. Jump.

After discussing with Meyer, Ruby went directly into the tree house in the game space. There is a pharmacy table on the second floor of the tree house that specializes in making potions. Making potions on the pharmacy table can increase the success rate by 5.00%, and this 5.00% It is added to any potion.

The 5.00% success rate bonus seems pitifully low, but for senior pharmacists, it is very gratifying to have a 5.00% success rate for some complex potions.This [-]% bonus is not obvious in the production of ordinary medicines, but its value can be realized when encountering high-level medicines-most of the materials of high-level medicines are extremely rare, and even a slight increase in the success rate can save A large amount of raw materials, in terms of pharmacy, low loss rate means shiny gold coins.

Ruby unfolded the formula and clamped it in a card slot. After finding all the materials according to the formula, she was ready to make it directly.Since Ruby's level was raised to the level of a great magician, all the sub-professional skills have been upgraded to the full level by her, so now Ruby can be regarded as a sub-professional master, and any potion below the god level is difficult to use. But for her, even if it is the first production, she can recover [-]% to [-]%.

The process of imitating potions is very complicated and difficult to make, but this cannot be seen from Ruby's actions at all, because she seems to have made it countless times proficiently.

Three hours later, as a puff of thick smoke rose, the black medicine rolled up in the crucible, and the pungent smell made Ruby almost think that the preparation of the medicine had failed.But that's what imitating potions is all about, so Ruby made up her mind, packed the potions that looked like failed products in opaque bottles, and prepared to hand them to Ophelia the next time they met.

The peaceful days passed quickly, and it was the day of meeting in a blink of an eye.Ruby and Meyer changed into dresses that were convenient for traveling, and drank tea at home and waited as they told Ophelia.Ophelia will send a carriage to pick them up, and then the four of them will go to the auction together.

No sooner had the bell struck eight than Ophelia's carriage arrived on time.She lifted the curtain and waved to Ruby and the two, and a black skin could be seen through the edge of the curtain.

Seeing her signal, Ruby and the two went downstairs, and then got into the carriages parked at the door one by one.After they all got into the carriage, the coachman flicked the reins and set up the carriage. The carriage drove fast and arrived at the destination in a short while.

The place where the auction is held is a high-end club, which is full of all kinds of courtesans and fun-seekers.

When Ruby first entered, she was not used to the environment inside, because the gentlemen and ladies in the club seemed to speak elegantly, and they all did elegant things like playing chess and tasting, but the words implied something His teasing filled the air with an ambiguous atmosphere, so no matter how elegant the decoration in the clubhouse was, it could not conceal its essence.

Unlike Ruby who was slightly stimulated, Ophelia turned a blind eye to everything in the clubhouse.Under the leadership of Ophelia, several people went directly to the person in charge, showed him the card, and then the person in charge arranged for a servant to lead the people through a secret door, opposite to which was the entrance to the auction.

Like any shady organization, the real location of the auction is underground just like its name.Under the secret door is a very long and very long staircase. Under the guidance of the male servant carrying the oil lamp in front, several ladies raised the corners of their skirts one after another, and followed him through a depressing and dark journey.

Considering that there were several ladies behind him, the male servant walked very slowly, and it took about a quarter of an hour to reach the final location.After delivering the guests, the male servant bowed and saluted, then returned the same way to welcome the next guest.

The home of the auction is not as narrow as that winding road, on the contrary, the home of the auction is magnificent.Layers of red and golden brocade are spread all over the place, rendering the place where the eyes see extremely luxurious, and the smell of luxury is everywhere.

At the entrance of the auction, Ruby and the others received the desired mask under Ophelia's suggestion.Due to the shady nature of the auction itself, the dignitaries who participated in the auction were unwilling to reveal their identities, so masks became indispensable over time.

Ophelia's card was different from that of Ruby and the others, it was a gold card inlaid with crystals.As soon as Ophelia showed this card to the waiter, the other party immediately knew that the lady in front of him was a regular customer of the auction house, so he respectfully introduced several people into a box, and explained to the female slave on duty to serve her well. Walk.Thanks to Ophelia, Ruby won't have to squeeze in the front row of seats with other bidders.

The facilities in the box are all available, no matter what kind of entertainment the guests want, they can be satisfied.Ruby is very interested in all kinds of chess and cards placed in a cabinet, because Sardinia is a place where the population gathers, and many guests come from different countries, so the types of chess and cards are correspondingly enriched. This approach of the auction house Definitely makes guests feel at home.

But she didn't come to play this today, so Ruby regretfully gave up this idea.Then she forked a peeled and cut fruit from the fruit plate on the table, and then read the brochure on the table like Ophelia and Meyer, which presented the things that would be auctioned today.As for Galen who followed Ophelia, as a poor ghost heavily in debt, she had nothing to do with what was sold at the auction, so she concentrated on eating the snacks that came with the box.

The dark elf had a big appetite, and the snacks disappeared from her mouth at an extremely fast speed, and the slave girl kept bringing all kinds of snacks with a smile that she hadn't seen since several people entered the door.

The food and drink provided in the box is unlimited, but according to the requirements of the auction house, the food on the table must be filled at all times.Unless requested by the guests, as long as half of the table is vacant, the female slaves in charge of this box must go to get the corresponding supplies to refill the table.

Because of Galen, the female slave had to go back and forth to get the food, but the female slave did not feel resentful because of this, but felt a trace of sincere gratitude in her heart, because some guests were extremely cruel, and they treated their slaves like nothing, Whenever something goes wrong, they will take their anger out on them, and dozens of slaves die every year because of this, so the female slaves are relieved to see that today's guests are a group of ladies with good personalities.

For people like them, the only way out is to be seen by the guests to leave, otherwise they can only wait until they are no longer young and sent to do the hardest and cheapest work.But at least life was guaranteed at that time, and there was no need to worry about it every day like now.

Galen kept eating, and Ruby and Meyer also found what they wanted through the booklet, not to mention Ophelia, who had already been lying on the stands, she was already looking forward to it.

Ophelia's estimated time was very accurate. When she reminded Ruby that the auction was about to start, the first item had already been presented by the waiter.But this is also the reason why she has been to the auction many times, because with experience, she naturally knows when the auction is usually held.

When Ruby looked up from the brochure, the auction had officially started, and the auctioneers on the stage were pretending to be waiting.Beside him, a beautiful woman with a hot body is dragging an exquisite velvet box with both hands, which is the auction item of this round.

"Welcome gentlemen and ladies to our Black Light Auction. I am John the auctioneer today. In order not to waste the precious time of the guests, I will not gossip. Let's start today's auction directly."

As soon as he finished speaking, the waitress next to him slowly opened the velvet box in her hand, and inside was a shining jewel, a diamond necklace inlaid with broken diamonds.In the center of the necklace is a sapphire the size of a pigeon's egg. The gem quietly exudes a charming cold light, which is particularly crystal clear under the illumination of the lamp.

"This is the necklace that Mrs. Leon once wore. I know that many people here have heard her legend. This is a lady known for her passion. This necklace was given to her by a lover. The center of the necklace is The sapphire is cut perfectly, and I believe some women have already begun to fall in love."

The auctioneer pretended to be suspenseful and said: "But few people know that Mrs. Leon was a senior magician before her life. This necklace has been contaminated with her magic power through long-term wearing. The gemstone with magician's exclusive magic power has not been It is still an extremely rare object today, and its practical value is as great as its commemorative significance, well, as a warm-up for today's auction, the reserve price starts with 5 gold coins!"

With the announcement of the beginning, the people below began to bid one after another. Such a legendary beauty's beloved jewelry is still worth collecting.Not to mention the collection value, the exclusive magic power contained in it alone can warm and nourish the body, which is very practical for many nobles who are not professionals.

"6 gold coins!"

"6 gold coins and 50 silver coins!"

"..."

The bidding at the bottom was very fierce, but the people in the box did not move. For those of them who have spent at least thousands of gold coins at the auction, the warm-up at the beginning of the auction was really just a warm-up. Those wealthy businessmen and ordinary nobles Items that are admired are not as attractive to them as the fruit that comes with them on the table.

In the end, the sapphire necklace was bought by a man wearing an owl mask. After the man took the necklace worth 20 gold coins, he put it on his female companion. The female companion's surprise voice made the man very proud.

After the warm-up period, the atmosphere of the auction became more and more enthusiastic, and some contraband items that fit the reputation of underground auctions began to appear on the stage.When these special items appeared, the bidding was very fast, and even the guests in the box couldn't help but participate in the bidding.

When Long Xinggen was auctioned, Ophelia also became interested. She pressed the bidder in her hand, and the auctioneer on the stage could see her bid.

Ophelia is bound to get the dragon root. She needs this material in her recent alchemy research. However, even as an imperial princess, she cannot have the dragon root, because the alchemy guild prohibits the excavation of the dragon root. This kind of material has naturally become a contraband that cannot be used in public.

As soon as Ophelia made a move, she made a high price that most people could not accept, which caused the previous competitors to give up their bids. She thought that no one would compete with her for this. After all, Long Xinggen could use it. There are very few places, but a domineering male voice sounded from the bottom, raising the price as if arguing with Ophelia: "70 gold coins? The price increase of 5 gold coins and 5 gold coins is too petty, I will offer 100 gold coins!"

Long Aotian, why is he also at the auction?Isn't he still studying in retreat in Ellip?Ruby was astonished.
