All the players and NPCs that attended the auction have found their places in the auction hall. It took quite a while to have them seated because the auction hall is not the usual. The VIPs are directly teleported to their rooms via a key which is handled by two members of the merchant guild that has different key codes.

The two members of the merchant guild are not informed of their assignments until a few minutes the auction starts. This is to ensure that no one could plan an assassination or hurt the VIP if they wanted revenge. The two employees are also not allowed to talk to each other as one would accompany the VIP in the VIP room.

The amount of security details in this auction hall surprised the attendees as it is extremely well thought. Adrian actually thought of this measure as the lord of the territory since he will get tax from the things sold on this auction. He wanted everything to be perfect since this would be a defining moment for his territory.

"Welcome ladies and gentlemen! We are glad to inform you that the auction will now start. This auction is held on the Merchant Guild Avalon Branch. As you can see, the security here is no joke which means any attempt to steal or cause trouble will only spell trouble for you.

Should someone become rowdy then we will hand you to the Daemos Corps for your unfit behavior. Anyways, if you are here just to enjoy and spend money on great things then we are pleased to inform you that the items today will blow your mind. I shall be your host today for the auction. Without further ado, let us start!" The announcer stated as the first three items are floated in.

Unlike the other branches that rolled the items using a cart, the items are in a case that has a platform made from the Float Stone. It is a special stone that can create levitating platforms and this stone could be mined from Delta Island. The merchant guild purchased all of them when Piggy Bank saw its potential uses.

The first three items are pushed in the center of the platform as the assistants took of their cloths. Three different herbs could be seen being presented in a pot. Each of these herbs are actually Epic Tier Herbs that have great properties which made all the alchemist or any sub job-related profession that uses herb salivate.

The three herbs that are presented to them is not something that ordinary alchemist can procure because these are rare herbs that does not circulate the market often. It is also incredibly difficult to cultivate that it is said that it can only be found in the wild. A lot of attempts trying to cultivate them ended in failures and loss of resources.

The Sleeping Mandrake Herb (Life Variant) looks like a small plant child made of green wood lying peacefully on the soil of the plant. It looked like an angel sleeping without a care in the world around it. Sleeping Mandrake Herb (Death Variant) is different compared to its counterpart as its body is brown in color with spots of discoloration as if it is rotting.

The sleeping position is also the same as its other variant, but the face of the herb looked as if it is in constant pain and would wake up with just the slightest tug. The Balance Herb has a unique shape that looks like a scale. It looks like if a balance scale turned into a plant, but it also has a sickly appearance which is why it earned its other name of Sensitive Herb.

"We have here for you three herbs that are only available to Avalon courtesy of our locals that takes care of them. The three of these herbs are sold in a set which means all of you will bet for three in one go. Do not worry because we have five sets of these herbs lined up for our dear customers.

We shall now start the auction. The starting price is one hundred gold with an increment of fifty gold. Let us start the auction!" The announcer stated.
