The Young Noble Ascendant-Chapter 48: Merchant of Staellar (3)

After the meeting held by Caerstellar was over, they started to rush to carry out the plan.

Merchant of Staellar starts to announce sales limits every week.

Also announcements regarding VIP member cards and auctions that will be held every last week.

Merchants of Staellar began spreading the news through announcements on bulletin boards in surrounding towns and printing newspaper announcements.

This was possible because they successfully negotiated cooperation with the De Valemir family.

The negotiations ended very satisfactorily, the Merchant of Staellar was able to establish a fairly large trading guild in the heart of the De Valemir region.

Meanwhile, the De Valemir family receives a supply of herbal products that can strengthen troops from De Valemir every year.

This means that De Valemir will not lack stamina or troops who are injured due to exploring ancient ruins or during the war later.

After the announcement, two days later the entire potion was finally sold out.

And not only that, even quite a lot of nobles bought VIP membership cards from the Merchant of Staellar so that they wouldn’t run out of the potion.

Apart from that, quite a lot of people in the lower classes also buy VIP member cards with a one-star rank.

Meanwhile, the nobility generally buys two to three star VIP membership cards.

The entire kingdom of Veltrazia seemed to be busy hearing the news from the merchant guild of the Merchant of Staellar which until now continues to be the topic of conversation among the people and explorers of ancient ruins.

Because the properties of the potion are quite useful for them in exploring ancient ruins.

However, this is not what they were waiting for.

What they were waiting for was the auction event, which currently only the Merchant of Staellar guild held.

Because in this world there are only two places that hold large auctions like the one the Merchant of Staellar will hold.

One of them is in the western region, where Theo and the Caerstellar family used to live.

The other is in the southern region, so far away that no one is brave enough to even venture there.

Because the southern region has quite a strange secret.

That is why some explorers and other people are eagerly awaiting the auction held by the Merchant of Staellar.

And finally the long awaited day arrived.

The Merchant Guild of Staellar finally opened its auction event for the first time.

And the event was also attended by several nobles who were very interested in what weapons would be auctioned by the Guild Merchant of Staellar.

Some of the people present also seemed interested in the building of this guild.

"Wow, this is quite amazing."

"Yes, this is the first time I have heard about this building filled with magic and technology."

They also looked surprised and amazed, seeing the building of the Merchant of Staellar guild.

This building has doors that appear to open automatically by combining simple technology and magic, especially the techniques of runesmiths.

With the help of this runesmith, the entire building appears to have a highly automated system.

Besides the door that can open by itself.

There is an Auction Hall, this room has chairs for bidders made of crystal stone.

The shape of this room looks like a semicircular theater with tiered seats that can accommodate approximately three hundred people.

And in front of the tiered chairs is the stage for the auction.

The stage has also been made to look different, namely there is a kind of large board on the stage.

They call it a ’Rune Projector’ which can display complete item information, such as the item’s rank level.

This is what makes a big difference from the auction events that exist in this world.

Because it is very rare for an auction event to display items and their information.

And in the auction, only some brief information should be given by stating it directly, without writing it down.

However, this auction held by the Merchant of Staellar is quite unique. Besides providing detailed information, they will also verify the weapon’s worthiness.

By conducting direct testing and witnessed by customers who want to make an offer.

And the uniqueness of the Merchant Guild of Staellar doesn’t stop there.

All customers who participate in the auction can see some of the weapons that will be auctioned the day before the event starts, except for the main item.

Therefore, they can see those items.

This auction event was also very crowded with many people attending, so the event was quite lively.

Until the main item auction, namely the weapons auction ’Silent Thorn’.

A dark looking twin dagger set weapon with the addition of silent runes, this weapon will not produce any sound when used.

And when this twin dagger weapon is thrown, it will return to the user’s hand, if the user has awakened his aura.

Then, a mysterious figure in a gray robe seemed interested in this weapon, and said.

"Huh, this weapon is quite unique."

"I have to get this weapon"

Shortly after, the offer was made.

And it was quite surprising, because the offer that was received reached three hundred gold coins.

This amount is quite large and also very rare, because this is the first time that the Merchant of Staellar has held an auction that immediately made quite a large profit.

The auction has ended, and now we are heading towards the peak and closing event of the auction.

The final event was a drawing of VIP customers who already had membership cards from the Merchant of Staellar guild.

The draw was carried out by taking only three winners.

The third winner will receive a prize of ten F-rank potions.

Then the second winner will get five F-grade potions, and five E-grade potions.

Meanwhile, the winner of the first draw will get three D-rank weapons and ten E-rank potions.

The winner was found and the three people looked happy, even though one of them was from the common people.

This made all the people who were present and witnessed it live appear enthusiastic to continue following this auction event.

Because for them there is no loss in attending the auction, even if they don’t succeed in getting the item being auctioned at that time.

After this event ended, the next day it was back to normal, namely the rapid sale of potions for about three days, and at the end of the week another auction was held.

For several weeks after the event took place.

The Merchant Guild of Staellar also became famous, not only in the kingdom of Veltrazia.

Even in the western, southern and northern regions, it was also a topic of conversation among explorers and other nobles.

This was the beginning of a major shift in the direction of trade in the world.

However, from this fame, several other nobles emerged who were quite jealous of the Merchant of Staellar guild.

One of them, the noble family De Ashmere.

They had been trying to research the potions made by the Merchant of Staellar guild.

And over several weeks, De Ashmere finally managed to get details of what ingredients were used in making the potion.

Then, their plan finally began.

The De Ashmere family began searching for these ingredients and then created a nearly similar concoction.

The potion made by De Ashmere turned out to be a potion that had a slight improvement on the potion of the merchant of Staellar.

The increase is only 1% for each existing potion.

However, this improvement is actually very beneficial for its users.

And with the success of this research, the De Ashmere family began to make potions on a large scale.

They also carried out a massacre in a distant village, simply to acquire land from there, as most of their materials came from there.

However, the Veltrazia kingdom was unaware of this as the village appeared to be unmonitored by the Veltrazia kingdom’s troops.

This is what will be the target of the De Ashmere family who are making potions illegally.

Day after day passed, and finally a big problem came to the Merchant of Staellar guild.

They did not expect that there would be other nobles trying to imitate the potion from the Merchant of Staellar.

And because of this, some customers seem to be starting to decrease slowly.

At that time, Theo and several members of the Caerstellar region also found it difficult to find a way out of this.

Because the trade flow will not always be the same, there will be various competitors who try to imitate products from other guilds in order to get a good enough trade flow.

However, Theo had already realized this by then. In his previous life, there had been a lot of competitive trade, even to the point of copying competitors’ products to profit from it.

And right now, Theo looks like he’s preparing something.

According to him, this will be a major change in the flow of trade.

It might even become a trade war.

"Huh, it seems like there is no other way, except that way..." Said Theo, who looked serious and smiled slightly with a smirk.
