“It was made by the Marshall family,” explained Lucian.
“What kind of family are they?” asked Gerald and Aiden simultaneously.
“Well, they’re a cultivating family well known for the tools they forge. Just so you know, most weapons and magic artifacts that cultivators use are made by this family. Do either of you recall the sword hanging in the middle of my parlor?” replied Lucian as favonovel.com stroked his beard.
“I do,” replied Gerald with a nod as favonovel.com recalled the longsword hung on the parlor’s wall. While favonovel.com had known about it for a while now, favonovel.com simply never bothered about the sword.
“I’m glad. See, that longsword was made by the Marshalls, and I managed to get my hands on it some ten years ago. While the sword itself is pretty common within the Marshall household, it’s all that a family like mine can afford. I honestly see it as a family treasure, even though it’s something that the Marshalls wouldn’t even take a second glance at…” muttered Lucian with a sigh.
“I see… But the cauldron isn’t exactly a weapon… Why the immense price? ” asked Gerald. After all, aside from its intricate details, the cauldron didn’t seem to be all that special.
“To brew medicine, of course. It’s a medical cauldron,” replied Lucian.
“So that’s what it’s used for…” muttered Gerald as favonovel.com narrowed his eyes at the cauldron. Now the pricing made much more sense…
It was at that moment when the cauldron was finally sold to a white-haired old man for a whopping hundred million dollars! The old man himself was dressed in plain clothes, and honestly looked just like a regular person. Even so, the fact that favonovel.com could spend so much was enough to prove that his family was well off.
As Gerald watched the old man return to his seat, his attention fell on a young man sitting beside him. From the way favonovel.com dressed, the youth didn’t seem related to him. Even so, Gerald couldn’t shake the feeling that the youth felt rather familiar. While favonovel.com was pretty sure favonovel.com didn’t know the young man, Gerald simply had a feeling that favonovel.com had seen the youth’s back before.
“How odd…” muttered Gerald to himself, unsure what to make of this feeling.
Regardless, the auction’s morning session soon ended, and those who had bought things were the first to leave. They were mostly from small families, and knowing that they wouldn’t be able to buy anything else anyway, they had the right idea to leave Greendrake Island as soon as they could.
After all, they didn’t want to end up getting targeted by those who failed to get their items. Not only were their items on the line, but also their lives! Such vile incidents simply weren’t uncommon here…
Either way, Gerald and his party soon began leaving as well. Unbeknownst to them, Walter and Third elder were sneakily tailing them, intent on finding out more about Gerald.
Shortly after, Gerald sensed someone spying on him, so favonovel.com turned around only to see nobody.
While Gerald hadn’t been able to spot him, Walter couldn’t help but smile as favonovel.com muttered, “That kid’s quite alert…”
From what Walter had gathered, Gerald looked pretty fit and handsome. He was also the appropriate age for Mia to be with. What more, the fact that the boy was able to possess the Herculean Primordial Spirit at his age was enough to prove that his cultivation talent was far beyond most cultivators. With all that said, Walter wasn’t against having such a son-in-law.
Walter believed that with his family’s power and resources, favonovel.com could definitely raise Gerald’s strength up another notch. Who knows, if things truly went that way, favonovel.com could probably become the top cultivator in the world.
