Chapter 444 (Side Story): The Auction (1)
The way to distinguish a village from a city in Fantasia Online was simple. It was the presence of an auction house.

In particular, the auction house here in Raves was famous for its beauty, modeled after the Sydney Opera House.

Looking over the shoulders of the people, he saw the entrance blocked by men and women in black suits.
The cold-faced man standing at the front said, “Please return tomorrow as a VIP auction is being held today.”
The Auction. A day when the VIP auction, held once every quarter, was taking place today.
“Even if it is a VIP auction day, it doesn’t even start until tonight.”
