The Musafir
Herbal Plants
OF COURSE his encounter with Nyai Dara was not at all expected Mantingan. If only he had realized Dara's presence earlier, then Mantingan's goods had already undoed his intention to join the auction.
Because after all, the journey of the queen's entourage is still very secret. Not to mention, Bidadari Sungai Utara is still the most wanted fugitive in Tarumanagara, even Javadvipa. With the revelation of Mantingan's identity, the life of the empress and the life of the North River Angel could be threatened.
Mantingan felt free to regret his decision to join the auction. But right now, regret is not needed. All he has to do is fix things as much as possible.
So stood Mantingan from his chair then jutted towards Dara who stood in the middle of the auction stage. “By being flattered by Nyai Dara, Sahaya feels full of honor. His change was not caused by danger, but by Nyai himself. And Sahaya felt very happy to be reunited with Nyai, at this time with the Sahaya disciple was walking eastward to just wander. We both accidentally heard news about this auction while stopping in the city.”
The mantan deliberately raised his voice, ensuring that the entire auction guests could hear him. Mantingan then put a meaningful smile on Dara.
The girl immediately understood what to do shortly after she saw the smile, but she still did not understand what happened to Mantingan.
Dara reply menjura. “Sahaya thank you and welcome, Brother. Please sit in your place because the auction will start soon.”
The mantle nodded slowly before returning to sit. Kana glanced at Mantingan with a tense face, knowing clearly what danger was looming over them. According to what Mantingan said earlier, Kana chose to remain seated and silent.
The mantel exhales with relief. Although he could not guarantee whether by saying so in a loud voice so that all guests could hear him without exception, he could escape the dangers that surrounded him and his entourage.
Small lies are not a problem if they are forced to protect something bigger. He has promised to protect the Angel of the North River. Promising the girl and herself he would not let her die in Javadvipa.
“At this auction, Dara will be auctioning more medicinal herbs that we get from the hands of expert hunters. Certainly, what Dara will auction is not a low-quality plant.” Dara continued the auction as if she had never met Mantingan before. “Entertaining the first plant, namely the Poisonous Fertilizer Plant Celerang . Of all parts of the Poisonous Sheller plant, almost all parts except the Poison Cell Warping Root can be used as herbal medicine. The following will be explained about the benefits of the Poison Cellulang Pembuyar plant as an herbal remedy to quell various diseases.
“Pembuar Poison Cellerang is believed to be able to treat coughs caused by artificial poisons or such, and also has been proven to be true. To get the benefits, just grind one hand of fresh Cell Poison Remover leaves. We have a pretty interesting Cellulite Poison Remover plant, this plant has been dried and stored for more than ten years. Some people have proved it themselves, that just by drinking a little juice derived from our plant, then not only the cough that disappears, but also the poison that contaminates the throat.
“In addition, Cell Poison Buyers can also clean toxins in the skin. As warriors who live in the martial jungle, we must know that the most dangerous weapon of the opponent is poison. Just by swallowing a leaf of our War Poisonous Beaver, then a low-to-medium level poison can be annihilated. But remember, before the poison spreads into the skin, this Cell Poison Remover must be swallowed immediately.
“We auctioned 20 leaves of Poison Cellar Remover that can not be purchased separately, Dara opened the price starting from 10 pieces of gold!”
Dara finished saying, Mantingan examined a sheet of palm that contained a record of what items he had to buy. After making sure that there were no names for the Poisonous Cellulite among the many names of medicinal herbs, Mantingan did not choose not to make an offer.
Although he admitted, the Poison Buyer has properties that are indeed quite interesting.
The auction guests were rushing to bid, except for the special guests who were on stage. Special guests who are experienced warriors of course know that the leaves of the Poisonous Celler is needed at once is not needed. However, they chose not to buy it.
Twenty leaves of the Poisonous Sheller fell at the price of 100 gold pieces.
Spit swallowing mantle. If the first item has fallen at the price of 100 gold pieces, what about the next item that is definitely opened at a high price? Right now, he doesn't have much money. His wealth is not limitless.
“Entertaining the third plant, is a Bone Splice Continuous plant. This shrub has a height of orange one fath, dense leafy and brown hairy on the bottom. It has brownish-white flowers and pod-shaped fruit. It lives in the high mountains of Javadvipa and Suvarnadvipa.
“The plants we sell have been dried and stored for more than five years, so it has more efficacy than other Bone Spots. For the Bone Breakthrough Plant we sell, it has been proven to be able to accelerate the healing of fractured or even broken bones.
“Although not a special plant, but still not an easy matter to get and store it. For 20 leaves of the Bone Splice, Dara opens prices starting from 20 pieces of gold!”
They are the ones who bid for the plant. Though if viewed from any side, this plant is not very useful for a swordsman. Until in the end, Mantingan learned that the auction guests bid not to get the goods, but to get the attention of Dara. The mantel could only smile amusedly.
“Entertaining the third item ...”
The auction continued with heavy offers. None of the auction plants that were not bid for were less than ten times as many. The price of plants also rose many times more than the opening price.
The new mantan saw the plants that the Northern River Angel ordered as the auction entered the last twenty plants. The price attached to these plants is very high, Mantingan thinks that he can only give a few.
Mantingan became the first bidder when Dara finished speaking, “Eighty pieces of gold!”
After Mantingan said, the atmosphere of the auction hall became quiet. No one dared to make a sound. They choose to shut up.
The oblivious mantant who realized the cause of the lull in the auction guests could only smile awkwardly.
