Fantasy Lord: Beginning with Daily Intelligence-Chapter 167 - 129: Obtaining the Purple Gold Grass, Investment from the Assad Family
Seeing the golden card Thor took out, both Ruby and Morris couldn’t help but show a hint of shock.
They had just been marveling at the rarity of the golden card, and then their younger brother took one out.
"Thor, you truly surprise me!"
"An Assad golden card, and you managed to acquire it."
Ruby said, filled with emotion, casting a deep glance at Thor.
"Hahaha, Thor, that’s fantastic!"
"Just give this to the attendant and have him hand it over to the steward here."
Morris, equally excited, quickly chimed in.
Though having a golden card doesn’t necessarily guarantee obtaining Purple Gold Grass, it certainly makes it much simpler.
Previously, they had almost no hope, but now there’s definitely hope.
"Is that so?"
Listening to Morris, Thor nodded and then waved to the attendant not far away.
Seeing Thor’s gesture, the attendant quickly ran over.
"Gentlemen, how may I assist you?"
The attendant approached and spoke respectfully.
"Deliver this to your steward."
Thor instructed, handing over the golden card.
"Yes!"
"Please wait a moment!"
Seeing the golden card, the attendant’s expression changed, and a look of gravity and seriousness appeared.
This was the Assad Family’s golden card, and he dared not show any neglect.
The attendant quickly left.
Thor and the others began to wait.
Not long after.
Just a quarter of an hour later, a blond middle-aged man hurried over.
"Gentlemen, I apologize for the interruption."
"I’m the current head of this auction, Dery Assad. How may I assist you?"
Dery spoke respectfully, holding a hint of curiosity inside.
Their Assad Family wasn’t exactly friendly with the Dressrosa Family, so how did the Dressrosa Family possess their family’s golden card?
"Here’s the thing, I’m wondering if you have any Purple Gold Grass up for auction this time."
"If so, is it possible to withhold it for a private transaction?"
After waiting a moment, Thor had asked Ruby and Morris about the various uses of the golden card.
The golden card, as a representation of being a guest of the Assad Family, not only offers certain discounts but also allows for the pre-withholding of auction items.
Although withholding auction items doesn’t mean it’s exclusive, later the owner of the golden card will still compete privately.
But this function is significant.
If Purple Gold Grass appeared at the auction, the competition would be unimaginable.
Though it’s not the Fruit of Life and offers negligible help in breaking through to a Sky Knight, there’s still a slight chance. Moreover, it’s a key ingredient in making High-Level Life Potion, enticing at least the Count’s Clan, if not the Marquis Family.
Whether the Dressrosa Family can succeed amid numerous competitors is uncertain.
If withheld, the competitive pressure decreases significantly.
"This!"
"Please wait while I apply for this."
Dery hesitated slightly, then said with some hesitation.
"What’s wrong? Is there a problem?"
Ruby frowned, casting a glance at Dery.
"Lord Ruby, it’s not a problem, but that Purple Gold Grass isn’t in the best condition and can only be preserved for less than six months."
Dery explained with some embarrassment.
"Six months?"
The group was stunned.
Typically, with special storage methods, magic plants can last for decades, possibly even centuries with some luck.
"Indeed, for only six months. Gentlemen, this magic plant was picked by a Free People, and due to poor preservation, it suffered considerable damage. That’s why the Assad Family decided to auction it."
"If you wish to withhold it, you can, but please wait while I inquire."
"Gentlemen, are you certain?"
Dery hurriedly explained, then inquisitively looked at them.
The group exchanged glances.
"This!"
Ruby hesitated, and Morris was also in a predicament.
With only six months of preservation, the role of a Purple Gold Grass is undoubtedly very limited.
"Alright, we are certain. You go ahead and ask."
While the two hesitated, Thor spoke up.
For other nobility, a Purple Gold Grass that only lasts six months is nearly useless.
After all, Purple Gold Grass is typically needed alongside the Fruit of Life and Star Moon Fruit to concoct High-Level Life Potions. If all else fails, one must wait for the right time to sell or consume it. Unless urgently needed within six months, it’s practically useless.
But for the Dressrosa Family, it’s different. At this moment, their father already possesses the Fruit of Life and Star Moon Fruit. With Purple Gold Grass in hand, even if the Life Potion can’t be concocted, it can still be used, leaving no need to worry about waste.
"Alright!"
"Please wait!"
Dery quickly nodded.
Then ran off. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂
"Thor, is it really alright?"
Ruby curiously looked at Thor.
"Don’t worry, Brother Ruby."
Thor shook his head with a smile.
Seeing Thor’s expression, Ruby was moved but didn’t continue to inquire.
Meanwhile, Dery quickly headed to where the higher-ups were.
There was a large room here.
Inside the room, a blond middle-aged man was sipping red wine, waiting for the auction to begin.
