However, that was something far into the future. Right now, the auction for residences was limited to 50 open slots, the auction for citizenship to 100, and the auction for student passes for Darius' magic academy to a mere 5!
The residences were naturally the easiest sell as all of them were villas in the outer section. The bid started at 1,000 Supreme Coins per villa, but their retail price would drastically increase after the auction.
Deia did not state by how much, so many felt she was hyping up the price. Ultimately, the final bid never passed 1,500 for the villas. This did not bother Darius in the least, as he did not host this auction to make money, no.
This auction served only one purpose, and that was advertisement!
Advertisement to what his city could offer and show off the quality of his goods to the topmost echelon of powers, creating endless demand!
