Testing the Waters

"Everyone, are you ready to kick off this year's annual auction?"

A wave of applause and cheers filled the room. The crowd on the first floor shouted, trying to get them to hurry the auction along and get started.

"Since you're all so excited, we'll now officially start the annual auction!" yelled the beautiful woman. "It's day one, so remember that everything under lv. 50 will be sold today. If you're only interested in things more valuable than that, you'll only need to wait one more day, so please be patient."

"Now, our first item!" She stepped aside and let a group of men push out a trolly.

Atop the trolly was a sword. It didn't look very extravagant, but its aura was fiery and fierce. The crowd saw it and instantly understood what it was.
