Transmigrated with a Demon-Refining Pot: Hehehe, Refine in an instant

Even for the most noble families, the potion-wielding archetype is incredibly precious.

It's rare to see them at auctions.

After all, a great elf can live for two hundred years. Even if it takes several decades to become a great elf, there are still more than a hundred years to go.

It can absolutely serve as a family heritage.

Therefore, the price has been steadily increasing. It's mostly the private rooms on the third floor that are bidding.

From the first private room on the right, a frail, aged voice spoke slowly:

Two hundred and eighty thousand.

Before the bidding process even ends, a higher price will come in to suppress it.

"Two hundred and ninety thousand."

These nobles were mostly marquises from the surrounding countries, or wealthy earls.

Many of them knew each other.

After a fierce competition.

In the end, only the Earl of Trident and the Marquis of Giant Horn remained bidding.

The Marquis of Giant Horn's aged voice remained unhurried:

"Three hundred and ninety-five thousand."

Count of Three Forks was silent for a moment, then raised his paddle again: "Four hundred thousand."

The room fell silent for a moment.

Buying a magic potion elf for 400,000 gold dragons isn't outrageous; you can recoup your investment in a few decades.

But the key question is who can produce so many golden dragons all at once.

The expenses for nobles to guard their territories are considerable.

It's estimated that the Earl of Trident River has used up his family's savings.

The aged voice didn't follow. The auctioneer raised the gavel:

"Four hundred thousand, the first time. Four hundred thousand, the second time. Four hundred thousand, the third time."

make a deal!"

When the great elf was taken away, Ron was still leaning back in his chair, still reeling from the shock.

For Ron, not making a profit is a loss.

The last item up for auction was even more outrageous.

The final transaction price reached a terrifying 600,000 for the Golden Dragon.

After the auction ended, Ron was still in shock.

After completing the formalities and paying the money, I received the armor and fifty bottles of magic potions.

Ron then led his men back to their residence.

residence.

Lilith and Selena have been waiting for some time.

It looks like he needs to see Ron.

Selena's slave mark on her neck had disappeared, and she looked much more energetic than yesterday.

Selena walked to the stone table, stood still, and bowed to Ron.

"grown ups."

Her voice was still a little hoarse:

"I've come to discuss something with you."

Ron had no intention of taking over this remnant mercenary group. For the same reason, Ron had a secret and didn't want to use unreliable people.

In Ron's eyes, this mercenary group was unreliable, lacking even a family connection.

Ron nodded, gesturing for her to sit down.

Selena didn't sit; she stood there.

"The mercenary group has disbanded. There are only a few of us left, and there's no point in continuing."

After discussing it, everyone went their separate ways. Her voice was very calm.

"I've come to understand it now. In the eyes of nobles, we female knights are sometimes more valuable than the goods we're protecting."

"If I continue as a mercenary, I might get sold out again someday."

"You won't have such good luck then."

Ron listened quietly to her and waited for her to continue.

"Kelly and the others all have somewhere to go." She paused.

"I……"

"I want to find a place to settle down and live a quiet life. I don't want to cause any more trouble."

She paused, lowered her head, remained silent for a moment, then looked up at Ron.

"But I rescued Lilith and she stayed with the mercenary group. Once the mercenary group disbanded, she had nowhere to go."

"Finding a place to live in seclusion with me is not a good option for her either."

"I just wanted to, I just wanted to..."

"Could she follow you from now on?"

"I asked Lilith what she thought, and she was willing too."

After Selena finished speaking, Ron looked at the little pink-haired girl.

She actually started to act coy.

The little pink-haired girl stood to the side, twisting the hem of her clothes with her fingers, head down, murmuring:

"I'll listen to whatever Gege says~"

Selena was used to seeing the little pink-haired boy like this:

"Although Lilith's personality is a bit hard to describe, she's still very cute."

Ron quickly retorted, "No, no! I love her just the way she is!"

"Alright, she can stay with me from now on. I'll treat her well."

The little pink-haired girl immediately got into character upon hearing this.

Tears streamed down her face as she reached out and grabbed Selena's sleeve. "Selena, I...I can't bear to part with you, sob sob~"

"Come with me, let's never be apart."

She even asked Ron for help, it seems the pink-haired girl really wanted to bring Selena back with her.

Ron hesitated for a moment, but bringing her along wasn't out of the question.

She is the adopted older sister of the pink-haired girl, and her strength is also quite good.

They'll be placed in places like seaports where they won't have access to the core areas.

After thinking for a while, Ron decided to take Selena in as well.

Seeing the little pink-haired boy's state, Selena decided to go along too.

Anyway, she just wants to find a place to spend the rest of her life, anywhere is fine.

"Alright, stop crying." Selena's voice softened.

She walked over, stood in front of Lilith, and reached out to tuck the hair from her forehead behind her ear.

"You've always been like this since you were little, clinging to whoever you're with and never letting go." Her voice was very soft.

"She was clingy to me when she was little, but now..."

She didn't finish speaking, glancing at Ron.

After the two sisters finished talking, Selena said goodbye and left.

Since her sister wasn't leaving, Lilith naturally stayed to keep Ron company.

It took her a while to calm down.

The little pink-haired girl sat in Ron's lap, tears still clinging to her eyelashes, and whispered in his ear:

"Hey~ I got the potion!"

"Will you come and help?"

......

The next morning, Ron took Lilith out to buy things.

The streets of Violet Sea City were quieter than yesterday. The auction had ended, and many nobles from out of town were packing up to leave. But the shops were still open, and there were still people on the streets.

Ron was also planning to buy some local specialties for the girls in his family before heading back.

I bought more than a dozen pieces of clothing, since Ron himself would need them too, so I got a variety of styles.

Jewelry, ornaments, and toys for Cecilia.

He also brought Liulichuan several bottles of potions used by magicians.

Lilith understood the situation after seeing what Ron had bought.

However, she didn't react much.

This is an aristocratic society.

If a nobleman loves only one woman to the point of obsession, he will become a laughing stock among the nobles.

She asked in a sweet, coquettish voice:

"Brother, did you buy all these things for your wife? She's so lucky to have a man like you."

"Sigh! They're all your older sisters."

Lilith understood: "Are my sisters fierce? They won't hit me, will they?"

"Unlike me! I only feel sorry for my brother!!"

Ron's face darkened: "If you keep doing this, they might really hit you."

Ron also bought Lilith a lot of things, so that she wouldn't have to dress up like a mercenary every day.

After doing some shopping in the city.

Ron led his men back to their lodgings, packed their bags, and prepared to set sail for the frontier early the next morning.
