The more Deia revealed about the spell manual, the more excited the crowd became. They were just waiting for her to declare the starting price and open up the bidding so they could begin.
Deia saw their enthusiasm and smiled cruelly. "The starting bid for the first tome is 100 Supreme Coins. The minimum increase in bids should be 1 Supreme Coin. You can now begin bidding!"
However, despite Deia's words, the crowd was conspicuously silent. They were utterly speechless and shocked by her words, thinking that they had gone insane or were under the influence of hallucinogens.
After all, they were aware of the value of this item. It was great, but they didn't expect it to be so damn expensive. One should remember, the Dius was previously the universally recognized number 1 currency.
