The Kolan City branch of the Mercenary Guild rarely receives large-scale high-level tasks due to the influence of the Komo University and the geographical environment. In the long run, the rating of this task commission will not be lower than the silver task, so they attach great importance to it.
In addition, the deputy deacon and the main deacon have to compete for performance. Casey told the deputy deacon that this task was secretly commissioned by a magician team and designated to be represented by the Iguana Tooth. She also secretly gave the deputy deacon a can of silver-level primary potion, saying that it was a "gift" from the client to the head of the guild.
When the deputy deacon heard that the potion was worth at least two hundred gold talans, he laughed and immediately sent someone to call President Clark Abigail back from home.
President Abigail was called back before he was dressed. He was angry, so Casey took out a can of [Extreme Violet Cream] and gave it to him, saying that it had not been identified yet, but it was worth at least five hundred gold talans.
When President Abigail heard this, she immediately called the guild's appraiser to appraise the five ointments.
When the results came out, everyone was shocked. Although the potion marked [High-efficiency Violet Cream] was not as advanced as Casey estimated, it also reached the quality and effect of a bronze-level medium potion.
Moreover, the appraiser of the "Mercenary Guild" said that because [Violet Cream] has multiple special effects and can treat three moderate injuries, it is conservatively estimated to be a bronze-level medium potion.
And the jar of [Extreme Violet Cream] that Casey gave to President Abigail was directly identified as a silver-level high-level potion!
Silver-level potions are high-level potions that can only be prepared by high-level pharmacists. They are not seen on the market at all. They can only be encountered at auctions and cannot be valued at all!
When President Abigail heard this, her eyes turned green, but soon reason overcame greed. He knew that he must pay attention to the magic team that could prepare silver-level potions.
Even President Abigail envied Captain Casey of "Iguana's Tooth". Why would such a mysterious magician team choose such a small mercenary group that is not as strong as a mouse?
In fact, if Casey did not feel that the impact and pressure of this task were too great and they could not bear it at all, they would not have taken the initiative to ask the guild to increase the commission to obtain protection.
President Abigail proposed a 40% commission, and Casey readily agreed because she estimated that the other party would ask for 50%.
For each order, the mercenary guild can get a commission of no less than 200 gold talans, and "Iguana's Tooth" can directly get a commission of more than 300 gold talans!
But this is still a conservative estimate, and this is just the first order!
Wait!

President Abigail suddenly thought that if the silver potion was sold directly, it would not be cost-effective.
For the performance of the Mercenary Guild's Kolan City branch, to live up to the "gift" given to them by the client, and to gain the friendship of this mysterious magician team, President Abigail decided to put the potions on the auction house for auction.
He sent two silver warriors to the largest auction house on Adventure Street and forcibly kidnapped Lauren Clifford, the president of the Eternal Hammer auction house, to the Mercenary Guild.
Before President Clifford got angry, President Abigail blocked his anger with the news of a large number of high-level potions.
When President Clifford heard this, he was shocked and immediately called the most authoritative appraiser of the Eternal Hammer auction house to appraise the value of these potions.
This batch of potions can be auctioned at the Eternal Hammer, which is under the control of President Clifford. It is beneficial for him and can also earn enough fame for the auction house!
However, President Clifford is not only interested in the auction handling fee, but also in the makers of these potions.
Imagine if you have a pharmacist who can make advanced potions, will potions still be scarce?
In [Kolanbang], advanced potions are rare treasures!
Let alone [Kolan City], there are not many advanced pharmacists in the entire [Kolanbang] who can prepare silver potions. Adventurers and mercenaries have such a great demand for advanced potions, and they all know it very well.
If advanced potions are auctioned at the "Eternal Hammer" in [Kolan City], it will definitely attract many high-level warriors to buy them. With more people, sales performance will naturally go up.
President Clifford thought that when the time comes, he can just pick up a stone at the door and say it is a relic, and it will be snatched away by those wealthy buyers.
Generally speaking, the auction house charges a 5% auction fee, and the "Mercenary Guild" will also charge 40% of the 5% after the auction house deducts the fee, so it will make much less money!
This is not okay!
So when his old friend hinted that he wanted to reduce the handling fee, or take the potion to other auction houses for auction, President Clifford waved his hand impatiently, saying that the handling fee would only be 1% higher, and even the publicity fee would be borne by "Eternal Hammer". As long as he signed a contract, the next potion would be auctioned at "Eternal Hammer".
Kathy found that the two big men were chatting enthusiastically and forgot about her as the agent, so she had to cough twice to remind them.
"I'm sorry, my lords!"
Casey said seriously: "I don't want to disturb your auction plan, but my client is in urgent need of funds, otherwise he would not have taken out this batch of medicine. I want to know, how long does it take from preparation to auction?"
President Clifford was stunned for a moment, and thought about it: "If you want the auction to be effective, you have to promote it for at least a month, so that the auctioneers can come from afar. At least it can't be less than half a month!"
Casey shook his head: "Impossible! My client only gives a week at most, and he must get the first auction money!"
"This..."
President Clifford looked at his old friend in embarrassment: "Clark, can you discuss with the 'client' and delay some time? If the preparation time is only one week, the final transaction price may be 30% lower!"
President Abigail looked at Casey helplessly. The leader of the small mercenary group was the direct agent, and he couldn't interrupt!
But thinking of the 40% commission out of the 5/1000, President Abigail suddenly had an idea: "Why don't we advance part of the auction money first? Lauren, how much do you think this batch of potions can be sold for in the end?"
Clifford said confidently: "The starting price of this batch of potions is more than 10,000 gold talans in total, and the transaction price is still hard to say. You know, when someone is in urgent need of potions, gold talans are worthless!"
Abigail stroked his beard: "Then you can raise 5,000 gold talans, right?"
Clifford was stunned for a moment, thought about it: "You mean you pay another 5,000 gold talans?"
Abigail said confidently: "Yes! If it fails to sell, I will buy this batch of high-grade potions privately. Am I still worried that I can't sell it?"
