novelAnother Identity
| ← Ch.182 | Ch.184 → |
"May I ask what your name is?" Reginald asked in a gentle tone.
Audrey lowered her eyes."Catherine."
After hearing this name, a hint of surprise flashed in Reginald's eyes.
It was a name that he had never heard of. Logically speaking, it should be impossible. After all, he had heard of all the alchemists in the country. There were even some that he had seen before.
How could such a high-level alchemist suddenly appear, but he had never seen one before?
Clearly, the person in front of him did not want to expose her identity, so she had put on a veil, revealing only her beautiful blue eyes.
Reginald was well aware of this, but he did not say anything. He just pushed the door open and let Audrey enter.
"Feel free to sit. You can treat this place like your own home. There's no need to stand on ceremony with me." Reginald walked directly to the desk and slowly sat down.
Audrey sized up her surroundings and realized that the old man in front of her did not seem like an ordinary person. After all, those very sophisticated instruments looked like they could only be touched by people in high positions.
Moreover, when she had just entered, she had actually heard what Maggie had said, the so-called Hand of God...
"In that case, thank you." Audrey nodded politely and sat down on the sofa next to her.
Reginald tried his best to soften his tone."Since you've just come here, you might not know much about our rules. We need an invitation to enter the auction.
"So, I wanted to ask, why are you here?
"To participate in the auction?"
Audrey shook her head gently."Yes, but not entirely. The main reason I'm here is to auction off some important items."
Reginald pondered for a moment, as though he did not believe what she said.
However, Reginald was dumbfounded when Audrey took out the few bottles of potion that looked very clear from her pocket.
"This is..."
He stood up and walked in Audrey's direction.
Audrey handed the potion that she had prepared to him."I plan to auction these out. I don't know if I can sell them for a good price. Please help me take a look first."
Reginald took the potion from her hand with trembling hands.
"Oh my god, I don't know how long it's been since I've seen such a top-tier potion. Each bottle is so exquisite that there are no flaws." Reginald opened the bottle and carefully sniffed the scent inside.
Just a sniff was enough to sense the tremendous energy coming from it. No matter how one looked at it, these were all top-tier potions.
Usually, it was already the finale for their auction house to have one bottle. Who would have thought that so many bottles would suddenly appear?
Reginald was so nervous that his hands were trembling. He looked at Audrey with a hint of fear in his eyes.
"Madam, may I ask, where did you get these potions?" Reginald did not even notice that he had used honorifics without knowing it.
Audrey asked back, "Where did I get them... do I need to find out the channels? Because it's not convenient to say, I don't intend to reveal it."
She did not want to reveal her identity as an alchemist for the time being. If they knew that she had cultivated these things, they might treat her as a long-term meal ticket.
Reginald hurriedly shook his head."No, no, no, I didn't mean that. It's just that your items are too precious, so I can't set a price for you for the time being. However, I can guarantee that the total value won't be lower than..."
He extended his hand and waved it at Audrey."This number."
Audrey nodded in satisfaction. Her initial estimation was actually within this range. However, she was not interested in money. She only wanted more valuable medicinal herbs.
"If I remember correctly, the auction house you're currently in should have produced a half-moon fog fox some time ago. There should be a lot of good things on a beast of that level. What I need is the fey core in its body, " Audrey probed.
Then, she saw the old man's expression change.
They had sent people to capture this half-moon fog fox a long time ago, but they had only succeeded a while ago. They had clearly not released the news yet, so how did Miss Audrey know so clearly?
Could it be that she had her own exclusive channel?
Reginald did not dare to imagine how powerful the person in front of him was. Although she did not look impressive and was just an ordinary noble lady, the aura she exuded was not to be underestimated.
"Madam, we do have something that you want, but the procedures might be a little more troublesome. That's because we will first evaluate all of your items before we proceed, " Reginald said.
