Selling the Blood Pearls
As Romulus stood outside the gold-plated doors to a large, four-story building, he realized just how busy a single place could get. The building stretched in all directions for nearly three blocks and was objectively massive. Moreover, every layer was lined with magically powered lanterns that made use of Illumination Dust to keep the place lit.
As Illumination Dust was personally produced by the highest-level Fairies, it was capable of powering an expensive lantern for dozens of years, enough so that it could give the general area light even during the darkest of nights, like now.

"No, is it something intriguing?"
