AT THE top floor of the Goddess' Tower, the famous Midnight Auction was currently being held. It was an annual auction hosted by the Temple of Gaia. Most of the items being auctioned were religious pieces or at least had something to do with it. Very rarely that it weren't.
The structure of the top floor was almost like an auditorium. There was a wide stage where the auctioneer and the items being auctioned would be. The audience could sit among three seating levels. The lowest level was for ordinary wealthy merchants, the second level was a balcony where ordinary nobles could be seated, and the highest level was composed of private boxes where VIPs were.
Argent, Aurum, and Clay were seated at the balcony among with other nobles. They were all waiting for the auction to start.
