Outbid the bidder

"500 coins!" A man shouted as he couldn't contain his excitement. 

The bidding war was currently fierce and had already started at 100 gold coins. One of the highest amounts to ever have been traded inside the auction, and still, it showed no signs of slowing down, increasing by 50 gold each time. 

While the trading was going on, an older man from the empire calmly sat in his seat. He was a scientist in the research department for the empire. They would often send him to the city of Zrey to find out if there were any new types of technology. However, he had never expected this, and worst of all, it seemed to be from the Redwing kingdom. 

'How on earth were they able to get such technology?" The man thought. It was clear that this was a few years ahead of anything currently. Even if they obtained the carriage, it might take years to find out how to replicate it without having the original creator.
