The maid straightened her back immediately and said, "Don't worry, my dear guest. Our auction house is known for its comprehensive selection."
She touched the edge of the magic light curtain with her fingertips, and the runes flowed, and the images changed like the tide.
In the newly emerged light screen, dozens of figures stood or sat. A figure wearing gold-rimmed glasses, resembling an accountant, and a gray-robed man with a snake-shaped mark on his neck glanced sinisterly around.
