As the price soared, a tense silence enveloped the VIP suite. Lassim, without hesitation, placed a final bid of 28,000 high-grade elemental source stones, securing the exquisite necklaces. The auction hall buzzed with astonishment at the final price that was more than the armor just before.
As Lassim secured the bid for the necklaces, an attendant quickly arrived and entered their VIP suite. The attendant from the auction house, under the pretense of providing "VIP treatment" was timely, coinciding with the acquisition of such a high-value item. It was clear they were keen to finalize the transaction and to also deliver the items won so far while collecting the extravagant payment.
The attendant, with a practiced smile and courteous demeanor, carried a secure and elaborate magic pouch type case containing the necklaces, beautifying set and bracers Lassim had won.
The auction is over! We have one more single power up that Lassim needs before we go into the next big action set of chapters I have planned. I think it even begins with a new mini-arc to take a break from things at the academy? Who knows?! Only time will tell. :) Come back tomorrow for the finalization of his immediate power gains and we'll start the new adventure soon!
