The auction continued to go on. Countless items of interesting shapes, sizes, history, and enchantments went by—all of which sold for a high price.
"A bidder from Priv-Box number 3 has placed a bid of 20,000 Semis for the [Mystical Golden Bough]! Can anyone go any higher?!"
Lillian watched as the Gardener pressed down a button and whispered into the mic attached to it. The mysterious bidder from Box 3 was actually the Gardener.
Every now and then, the man would place a bid for an item of medicinal value, even going as far as winning the bidding wars. But any other item outside of medicinal purposes wasn't given more than a glance.
"Congratulations on your [Mystical Golden Bough], sir." Lillian smiled genuinely at the Gardener, who seemed to appreciate her kind gesture.
"Thank you for your congratulations, young lady Arius." The Gardener replied politely, before asking, "You have yet to bid anything. Are you merely here to enjoy the view?"
