Freeman looked excited, this esteemed guest has finally arrived.
Gar's legend had long spread among various merchant groups and auction houses on the Ishgar Continent.
Starting three years ago, Gar, as a Magician of Fairy Tail, began appearing in major auction houses, not buying any common items, but specifically purchasing strange, even unwanted materials.
.
You should know that these auction houses or merchant groups have been operating for so many years.
There's no telling how much accumulated material they have.
Some things were acquired at the time and thought to be good, but no one knew their purpose, resulting in them being unsellable.
Examples like this were everywhere, and yet, those doing business couldn't explicitly say they wouldn't accept them.
This led to the warehouses of various auction houses accumulating many strange materials, which usually just sat there gathering dust.
But starting three years ago.
A Magician named Gar Brons appeared, buying nothing else but those materials whose purpose many people didn't even know.
What was most astonishing was over a year ago, Gar bought seventy percent of a certain auction house's accumulated unknown materials, instantly shocking the entire auction house industry.
It wasn't Gar's financial power that shocked the auction industry.
But rather this kind of customer who specifically wanted unknown materials (junk)...::
They had never seen one before!!!
Everyone was looking forward to Gar visiting and clearing out the accumulated items (junk) in their warehouses.
Anyway, those things were items nobody would pick up even if thrown away, so it was better to sell them for some gold coins.
As Fairy Tail and Grimoire Heart went to war during this period, everyone didn't know when Gar would visit an auction house again.
But they didn't expect him to come here.
Freeman quickly tidied his clothes and personally went to receive Gar, this important client.
Inside the VIP room of the Kelman Auction House.
Gar sat on the sofa, flipping through the latest newspaper, the front-page headlines were naturally about Fairy Tail and Grimoire Heart.
With the Magic Council's involvement, the daily newspaper reports now were all about how many Dark Guilds were eliminated, which Dark Guilds were struck, showcasing the Council's strength to the public.
He had just opened it and hadn't read for a few seconds when the VIP room door opened.
Freeman rushed in with a smile, grabbing Gar's hand:
"You must be Master Gar Brons."
"You're indeed as handsome as the newspapers say."
Gar's mouth twitched, he nodded, then said:
"I've struck down quite a few Dark Guilds recently."
"Getting ready to clear out my backpack."
Freeman's eyes lit up again upon hearing this:
"No problem at all."
"Our Kelman Auction House is the largest auction house in the northern region."
"You've come to the right place."
Freeman had initially thought it was just clearing inventory, but didn't expect it to be such a big business, his smile became even more enthusiastic:
"Please look at this first, these are the rare materials collected by our Kelman Auction House over forty years of business."
"Only a Magician like you can discover their value."
Saying this, he handed over a thick booklet, each page containing a photo and a simple description.
Of course, there were no detailed descriptions, because they didn't know the purpose of these items when they collected them, they could only make a rough guess based on the material's characteristics.
Gar flipped through the catalog, picking up a pen and marking it occasionally, until the thick catalog was all marked:
"Find an empty warehouse, move the items I circled over there for me to see."
"Also, tally up the things I want to sell."
Freeman's eyes were excited:
"No problem."
"Your needs are everything."
"I am the highest-level appraiser in this auction house, just take out whatever you have."
"No need to bother going to the warehouse."
Gar shook his head and said:
"No..."
"This room isn't big enough."
Freeman couldn't help but click his tongue upon hearing this.
Just how many Dark Guilds did he eliminate? There were so many things that one room wasn't enough. He quickly got up and led Gar to an empty warehouse, and ordered people to move the materials from the catalog over.
Outside the warehouse.
Freeman opened the door and gestured for Gar to enter, followed by over a dozen appraisers.
Gar nodded, stepped forward into the warehouse, and raised his hand in a sweep.
The small warehouse, two stories high and ten meters long, was instantly filled to the brim with densely packed items.
"Hiss—!"
The sound of drawing a cold breath echoed beside Gar, Freeman stared dumbfounded at the warehouse full of things, the other appraisers were also numb, it was a while before Freeman managed to say:
"The room indeed isn't big enough..."
Gar said with a smile:
"Just raided a few Dark Guilds."
"Many things aren't useful, why don't you give me an estimate?"
Besides some architectural decorations, these items also included many Magic materials collected previously, which weren't useful now, and absorbing their essence would be a waste, so it was better to give them to the auction house in exchange for gold coins.
Freeman nodded and immediately called for his subordinate appraisers to appraise them.
