Today was a very good day, and one that was not only important for the city Darius had founded, but for the entirety of Faust.

For today would be the first-ever auction from the mysterious faction that made items so perfect that they were likely the creation of Gods.

As Darius had ordered the Critterbots to spend all their time after completing the construction to build roads, a network of them existed within the city, and one that led all the way to the town of Listo.

That meant that in order to reach Darius' location without using the teleportation center in the outer section, one would need to first hit the Andrato Kingdom.

Carriages lined up the road endlessly, creating traffic that would scare any modern person who thought they had seen worse.

Still, the majority arrived through the teleportation circles, especially those who were at the Adept stage and above. Since Darius had built almost 20 portals in the outer section that were incredibly stable, a steady inflow of people were entering.

The reactions of the newcomers were basically all the same. Once they entered they immediately stopped with shock, turning back to the portal they had exited from, unable to understand how their journey had been so smooth, fast, and devoid of the usual discomfort.

Then, they would be further shocked at the large number of portals and the constant flow of traffic that was not stunted at all. Finally, they would marvel at the quality of construction of the city overall after they exited the square for new arrivals.

Before they could go far, each batch of people were halted by Guard Androids and told that they would need to wear some strange device called a HoloBrace as they would need it for identification, verification, and all utilities.

They all received the device and grimaced when it pricked them, yet their discomfort quickly made way for shock once Martin popped up to explain the features of the device and what they could do within the city.

All the information were being transferred to their brains directly instead of explaining with words as that would take too long. Gaining a preliminary grasp of the structure of this society, a person would walk over to one of the various booths where they could exchange their local currency.

They were all baffled to find out that this city used its own unique digital currency called the Supreme Coin which could only be held via the HoloBrace.

Currently, the value of 1 Supreme Coin was 100 Dius, which made most of those who had come here shake and quiver.

More than a few didn't have enough with them to get a single SC even if they were to trade in everything they had, making them full of anguish.

However, no one dared make a scene yet because it was too early and the true powerhouses had yet to land.

As such, those who could get some of this new type of currency paid for it, believing that they would get their money's worth if they could get their hands on some of those items.

Those who couldn't didn't bother, rather opting to explore the city on foot and see if they could find a way to become a resident.

Of course, there were also many receptacles prepared for them.

A person only needed to indicate to Martin that they were seeking a position, and the AI would filter what was available.

Then using the neural connection, he would judge the intentions of the job seeker before accepting or denying their request.

This was undetectable to all those below the Adept stage, but after gaining Mind Power, such a thing would be seen and stopped.

For those who were at this stage, Martin would direct them to the estate of the City Lord who would then handle the rest.

As for Masters and above, they would have meetings booked with Darius himself. After all, even if they had recently become Masters themselves, Mayor Spencley and Principal Elijah could not handle such tough opponents yet.

Of course, as the hour came closer and closer, more people filed into the city that were quite unique.

There were non-humans and those that carried the scent of a different, distinct flavor of Faust's laws from their respective continents.

For example, the Immortals from Pan all rode flying swords and wore brocade robes that were extremely colorful.

The Samurai of Houto rode powerful elemental kirin, their bodies covered in red armor, and their katanas eluded an aura of death and dismemberment to all they passed.

The Molemen of Pokterr looked like cute fellows from children illustrations books, and their character was quite similar.

The icemen, yetis, and polar bears of Kiel had also come over with interested expressions.

There were also the mythical beasts from Unyris, though they had wisely sent over their half-breed descendants here. Even if Darius' resources were good, it was not at the level that true dragons would make a visit.

Added to that were the strangely garbed men and women from Gravitas. All of them wore full-body mechanic suits that made them look like a team of special forces elite in some sci-fi media from earth.

Nothing aside from their outline could be seen, making the curiosity of many flare-up.

Then, there were bronze-skinned men and women who dressed very lightly, the Ludoains.

Due to how their native continent was, they were used to dressed expressively, and with the fine shape of their women, it made many fellows drool, not to mention their handsome and buff bearded men that made some ladies swoon.

Of course, it had already been seen from Stonekeeper Marasmus' history that this was a small minority on Ludo. Most people were starving and poor due to the lack of resources.

Finally, the last two to drop were the Divine Envoys from Elysium and the Demonic Thralls from Armadon. The moment both parties arrived, it was as if an explosion was about to occur.

The tension was so thick that many Fallon natives who were weaker almost lost consciousness. However, before both parties could take things too far, a strange manifestation appeared above the outer section in the form of an energy lifeform with a humanoid shape.

It glared at the two troublemaking parties with such intensity that they immediately fell to their knees. Whatever thing it was that they had summoned, its power was not something they could contend against as they were!
