The chubby aged wizard finally sat at the nearby bench situated in the Academy courtyard and wiped sweat off his forehead. The beautiful linden in full bloom that filled the courtyard with its pleasant tender fragrance, cast its shadow at the tired figure making the Senior Academic sit back relaxed, looking over the stack of boxes that had just been packed for shipping to the Central Square.
It was not of Councilor Bilir's habit to trust important messaging to scroll paper, he preferred to entrust living beings with important information. Gremlins were perfect for this: loyal, smart and mobile, they were the ideal servants of the wizards for many occasions.
Bilir pondered for a short while to model his message within his head and then called one of his gremlins tinkering near the box cargo and started giving his orders:
"You will accompany the caravan as it heads to the Delivery service on the Central Square. Once there, head over to the Court room at the palace and look for Councilors Kh'Everst and Arabat.
Tell Kh'Everst that I have finished all the necessary research with the sinister Venomancer items and fortunately have made great progress in accessing the Darkness fiber. He should start making preparations, he will know what that means. For this reason, I do no longer need the items and I am sending them over to the market to be sold for the use of the Lordship. I only kept one set to see whether it is possible to reproduce it at the Forge.
Then tell Arabat that I discovered the reason behind the little incident in the Academy I had told him about. Chaos and Nature are opposed to each other, and items as powerful as those brought from the Pandemonium must have produced a revolt in the Nature structure. At the same time back then, some of our Academics over here were summoning Elementals to be used as gladiators for the upcoming Survival Tournament. Elementals are product of difficult equation involving both Chaos and Nature, they are chaotic but originate through nature spellcasting, so at that moment the Chaos and Nature fibers have clashed on each other. I have already shaped it all in theory and now only need to run a few practical tests to confirm it. As of now, I also no longer require the Infernal items and send them for marketing except one set which I kept for the sake of attempting to reproduce it.
They may now start a combined auction for the new Estates that they had built earlier, as well as for these items. Understood?"
"Yes, master Academic. Your message will be delivered."
"Go now, I shall rest a little more and then get back to work at my study. Find me there when you return."
The gremlin rushed up to the place where the boxes were being loaded into the caravan and hopped on one of the beasts of burden. Minutes later, the caravan was dispatched to the Central Square.
Lordship!
The Court has announced the beginning of a series of auctions for Estates and Rare items. It will last for 3 days. Let me remind you the of Luxury auctions.
As before, even after the auction duration expires, any of these auctions will only end when full 5 minutes have passed since the moment of the last successful bid. |
