章 312: The Drakhan Auction (2)

Liora moved quietly through the grand auction hall, her steps deliberate and measured as she surveyed the intricate details that had consumed her thoughts for weeks. The golden light from the floating mana lamps bathed the hall in a warm glow, highlighting the smooth marble floors and the dazzling array of magical artifacts now perfectly positioned on their pedestals. Each item sparkled with its own aura of mystique, and Liora couldn't help but let a smile tug at the corners of her lips.
