The Harrod family was not worried about this. They knew that the Pill Guild would not act so soon.
The Pill Guild would be the first to participate in any pill auctions. There was no way they would miss such a good opportunity.
The Pill Guild knew all about Philip’s pills, so they would never miss such a good opportunity. Hence, they shared the same idea. They wanted to sign up at the last minute so that there would be fewer competitors.
Very soon, it was the final hour to purchase tickets. Only a few small families bought tickets.
Although some large families had a good relationship with the Harrod family, no one took action.
These families sent scouts to the Harrod family to understand the situation, and the answers they received were surprisingly consistent. They were told to attend the auction.
Who would accept this response?
The Harrod family had never held an auction before.
How would they know what to do?
Due to everyone’s distrust, the Harrod family sold very few tickets so far.
At the last moment, the Pill Guild signed up. They arranged for some members to purchase the tickets secretly, but the news still leaked. Of course, it was all thanks to the Harrod family.
The Harrod family could not wait to cause a commotion. Although their chances of buying pills would decrease with the increase of participants, they had not forgotten their objective.
They were entrusted by Philip to hold an auction. They would have failed their task if no one attended the auction.
No one in the Harrod family realized that they had become Philip’s tools.
News about the Pill Guild’s ticket purchase spread, and some people described the incident vividly.
The taverns were full of storytellers talking about it.
“I’m telling you, the Pill Guild is so mean!”
“They must know that some good stuff will appear in the auction, so they chose to join at the last minute.”
“Why, you ask? They want to get good things at a cheap price, of course!”
The storyteller analyzed it rationally and convinced everyone. They had to admit that the Pill Guild’s action was very strange, indeed.
“The Pill Guild is so shameless!”
“These people are going too far! They already have so many pills on hand, but they still want to compete with us!”
“I think we should boycott the Pill Guild to some extent. The pills they sell are expensive and not very effective!”
Everyone complained about the Pill Guild, unhappy with this guild that only prioritized profit. Many people were unhappy with them, but no one dared to speak out.
While the Pill Guild was in the limelight, everyone put in a word or two.
The pills sold by the Pill Guild were expensive and ineffective, but no one else could make pills.
