The auction started off great and there were no problems. The items that were being sold were items that are not needed by the guild that dethroned the previous monarch. The items are either not suited for them or not in their image. Some have small curses on them as Adrian could feel the energy in some of them. The items were also cleverly masked with a special cloth item that prevents any energy from leaking out.
This might be due to the fact that some of the items have bad energy. If all of the items' bad energy were to accumulate then a Grudge Monster might form. There have been numerous instances of that happening in some auctions like this which is why a lot of people are already aware of it. Adrian did not bid on items that he did not need as there are rarely anything that catches his eyes.
Edited as fast as I can. Thanks for waiting
