"The current owner of the auction house is a mysterious figure," Yun explained, removing his glasses and observing them closely. There were specks of dusts on them, and he cleaned his glasses diligently. "Once Ephert gained control over this region by forcing the other lords to obey him, he changed the auction house owner with one of his own. That was almost three years ago."
"Yeah, and they have a strange tradition, I'm sure Yun mentioned how they have a masquerade theme as their dress code," Kiyae added on, sighing as she shook her head. "The masks are provided by them. Once anyone enters the auction house, their identity and their background, none of it matters anymore."
Yun nodded.
"The only thing that matters is what you bid for and how much you are planning to bid," Yun continued on. "The mercenary market is monopolised by Ephert, and hence, the guards surrounding the auction house, all of it belongs under Ephert, and they are capable people."
