"An impromptu auction? Is the next auction still far away from being held?" As the question left Valyr's mouth, the young man knew very well that auctions were generally held at certain intervals, which would allow the auction houses to have enough time to accumulate enough precious items that could be sold for high prices.
With that in mind, the term 'impromptu auction' somewhat confused the young man. After all, if there was only a small bit of time left before the auction, say a month or a couple of weeks before the set time, one could instead ask to bring it forward and include his spear as an item to be sold in the auction.
With the level of authority he held as the leader of Algerie Kingdom's Blacksmith Guild, Julian could easily do that.
Yet, from what Julian was implying through his words, it looked like there was more to the matter than it initially seemed.
