Priam sighed as he perused the list generated by his add-on after analyzing the items offered at the Auctions. There were many puzzles designed to hone Aether Manipulation skills, but most were disappointingly ordinary.
"Ymir?"
"Lord Priam," the rchant responded, drawing near.
"Is it normal to have so few aether puzzles?"
The rchant nodded. "These kind of puzzles are ant to enhance the skills of young individuals. Selling them would be sacrificing the new generation. Only a desperate faction would offer such items... or the seller could be a powerful outsider who can disregard local authorities."
Priam raised an eyebrow at the latter part of the statent. "Are you saying I can find out who is selling what on my territory?"
"With rchant V, you can see all Tier 0 items valued at less than two hundred fifty thousand Sun points that have been sold or purchased at the Auctions," confird the rchant.
Priam found this information intriguing. It would certainly prove useful if Oasis welcod passing travelers.
"What about Tier 1 items?"
"All those valued at less than one hundred thousand Sun points."
"I see..."
"If I may, I think more puzzles will co," Ymir said. "As the necro-event progresses, the settlents, tribes, kingdoms, and cities under the influence of the Necromoon will be in danger. They will eventually sell their most precious belongings for better equipnt or a chance at survival. Just wait a little, and such treasures will beco commonplace."
Priam grimaced. He didn't have the luxury of waiting for the Necromoon to devastate entire populations. His goal was to reach Tier 1 before the next Reunion, which made for a tight schedule. Heavenly Dragon, Tribulations, Colosseum, then High Tribulation.
Seeing Priam's expression, Ymir offered advice. "If you don't like waiting, you could also make an announcent. These Auctions are governed by supply and demand. You'll surely get responses if you offer a rare item or a hefty sum."
Priam conjured a piece of ice in his hand. In the center, Sumstreh's fulcrum shard absorbed the light.
"...Put this up for auction in exchange for aether puzzles or thods to enhance aether mastery. No sale until I've evaluated the exchange. I want to consult the Guardian of Secrets to learn more about the items offered to ."
"Your orders will be carried out," replied Ymir, taking the object carefully before placing it on the altar. It was absorbed, and Priam received confirmation from the Sun Shop. As long as no one destroyed the Forum and the altar, the fragnt would be secure. Even Ymir couldn't touch it.
"Are you looking to improve [Aether Manipulation]?" Esmée asked.
"Indeed." Priam saw no point in hiding it. "Can you assist ?"
"Perhaps. My people have spent centuries manipulating aether without the aid of the System. I have so exercises that might interest you."
"What do you want in return?"
"A favor. If I ever find myself in trouble and you can save without it costing you much, do it."
Priam assessed Esmée. The princess had seen through his nature. Instead of cultivating a professional relationship, she was doing him a favor to beco his friend.
"I accept," he smiled.
