The merchant, with a furtive glance and a whispering voice, spoke to him about a hidden auction taking place in the scrapyards of the city. It was a clandestine place, known only to a few, where priceless objects were offered to wealthy and unscrupulous buyers. But to access this auction, Alex would need a mask to conceal his true identity, a mask that the merchant was willing to provide. Alex arrived at the clandestine auction in the scrapyards of Desiería, a dark and mysterious place filled with shadows and whispers. The bustling of the crowd and the flicker of flames illuminated the atmosphere, creating an atmosphere charged with anticipation and danger.
Armed guards patrolled the surroundings, watching every movement with alert eyes and hands on the hilts of their weapons. Among the crowd, Alex distinguished richly dressed individuals, with sparkling jewels and greedy looks betraying their desire to acquire the treasures that would soon be auctioned.
The place was decorated with extravagance, but also with an air of decay and latent danger. Shadows danced on the walls as flames crackled in the torches, casting flickers of light on the objects displayed, waiting to be sold to the highest bidder.
What caught Alex's attention the most was the diversity of races present at the auction. From sturdy dwarves to elegant elves, to various characteristics of beastfolk, the mix of cultures and races added an element of mystery and exoticism to the event.
With determined steps and the golden mask hiding his identity, Alex ventured into the auction, ready to confront the unknown and uncover the secrets hidden in that place of intrigue and greed.
