Chapter 87: The Silver Fig Trade Convention 2

The envelope the old man gave Lucas has only one letter inside, which was the recommendation letter as well as an approval slip attached to it, that was marked with some information. However, the old man's departing words were that a cooperation between them could only happen so long as Lucas got a sale slot for the auction to be held on the sixth day.

In other words, the old man wanted Lucas to compete with all the vestige businesses in the West Wing district, for a limited opportunity. Not only was this insanely difficult, but it was impossible for any regular individual to pull off. Even an experienced vestige-smith couldn't say for such that they had this in the bag, unless they were one of the top in the district. Even then, it was possible for a nobody to get a slot over them, as what the appraisers judged wasn't the fame of the creator, but the value and potential of the vestige.
