Bologue had never attended an auction before, and neither had Aimou. Bologue's expertise was of little use here, especially since this auction was completely different from those in the past.
There was no capital verification process, nor any identity check. The Gray Trade Association exercised an unusually loose control over the venue, making a vigilant person like Bologue feel uneasy.
So far, Bologue had only spotted a few scattered guards, but it was clearly impossible for them to manage the scene effectively with just a handful of people.
The sound of a bell echoed from the pale light above, drawing everyone's attention to the man on the high platform. Everything proceeded quickly and silently, with only the man speaking to introduce the items.
The auction progressed rapidly; everyone came with clear objectives, having decided what they wanted before the auction even began.
