Meanwhile, Gill’s team had also completed their purchase, not having to spend much of Althea’s allowance due to the hefty profits from the trade the previous day.
Gill was a bit disappointed that there was nothing particularly special sold. Of course, they did still buy a lot of things that could increase the comprehensive strength of the territory.
Althea gave him and Eagle 500 gold each, hoping to find unique and helpful products to strengthen the territory. However, except for a few class-C weapons and equipment unavailable in the territory, there wasn’t much gain for their team.
What they did do was buy a lot of class D and a few class C equipment for the rest of the territory.
These weapons would be primarily used by the guards’ team and also sold in the Contribution Store to be opened in the territory soon. Here, one could buy good weapons and other equipment with contribution points.
They also maximized their purchase limits in shops like the pharmacy. Although sister-in-law’s medicines were great, they didn’t really produce fast enough for everyone to be able to stock up. Not to mention, sister-in-law’s Pharmacy skills had limited effects on people above level 20. It so happened that Ferrol had a level 2 Pharmacy, which could produce medicines for the level.
They would not only stock up for their own team, but also stock up supply for the territory.
They continued to peruse the stalls, hoping to get more finds. It was just that Gill’s feet paused as he caught a glimpse of familiar violet in his peripheral vision.
Inexplicably, he felt a little distracted.
"What’s wrong boss Gill?" Kleid asked and he flinched, a bit surprised.
After a thought he just looked at them, "Go ahead and do the task," he said, before he disappeared into the crowd to the confusion of the others.
Gill didn’t really bother with them though, as his eyes was focused somewhere in the crowd, trying to find that familiar shade of violet again. Fortunately, it wasn’t hard to find her and he soon saw her enter a building.
It was a large 3-storey building with grand decorations. There was a banner made of expensive silk with intricate patterns draped at both sides of the massive door.
It gave a special feeling of attraction, as if entering would somehow elevate one’s existence and status. The entire facade was like an upgraded, more special, version of Houser’s sign.
Gill followed her in with not much thought, a little startled when the familiar ding sounded in his head.
[You have entered the Auction House. Entry Fee is 10 silver per person. Minimum Wealth in Space: 100 gold.
[Proceed? Yes | No]
Gill paused.
He had heard of this building, newly built just before they left for Altera. It was apparently a building available for high-level towns.
Everyone knew system buildings had special functions, and he wondered what kind of function an auction house available at a Level 2 Town would have.
