The First Player Auction 6
Many were confused by Zaine's revelation. Why on earth would they allow lower grade crystals to be used in the purchase of such high-tier items?
It was like auctioning a 1-million-dollar item and asking the buyers to pay using quarters only. Did such a thing make sense?
However, many others were clued into Zaine's grand plan. Including the top powers. They finally got the confirmation that yes, those crystals that were sold to them earlier were from Draco.
So, he had discovered a cache of Aether Crystals, more likely a huge mine with many top-grade crystals and below. This was how he managed to create that Aether rich city called Vita.
It was as if many things had finally linked together. He had built his settlement over a rich Aether Mine after extracting some crystals, allowing it to become Aether rich when upgrading it, possessing unheard of benefits.
