The place to test and evaluate the items was deep into the building. Auction houses were usually divided into an entry and meeting hall, where the auction happened, and a storage and testing room.
The number of rooms, halls, and stages changed from auction house to auction house, but the overall layout was similar.
Brilliant Auction House was the biggest one, including the surrounding cities, and the size of this building showed it.
They had to walk for a while before reaching a hallway with ten rooms and a blue crystal above each door.
Yasenia realized that everything was done for normal-sized races. This brought a question to mind, which she vocalized. "Carbira, I can see that this building has no adaptability for giant races. Is this normal?"
Carbira smiled and answered. "Well, as a new power, it is a good question. I recommend that you don't try to create an "all-race" building. Once giants step inside a shop, their size intimidates many customers. Sadly, Races that have a height higher than three meters are rare. This means that if you want to accommodate most of the market, you must lean toward normal-sized races."
The crab beast-kin saw Yasenia's thoughtful expression and clarified. "Buildings and shops for giant races are mostly dominated and run by such races. Besides the top powers of the Continent, which need to accommodate all races, it is complicated and strange for a normal-sized filled race to accommodate them. Moreover, there aren't any top powers related to them, so a giant's race spending power is more often than not lower than any other power. In short, it is not worth accommodating them until your reputation is stabilized and world-renowned."
Yasenia nodded and then asked with a raised eyebrow. "Are you sure about telling me all of this?"
Carbira chuckled and commented. "Ghana and Hanna are very clear about these things. They probably haven't told you yet because the situation wasn't right, or you haven't purposed creating such an establishment."
Hanna snorted and pushed her chest forward, making it bounce. "I haven't told her because I feel confident in the Matriarch's vision. Naturally, I have a half-written report about all these things done. I intended to present it two weeks later after I complete it."
Yasenia smiled. "You don't have to explain yourself, Hanna. Remember to focus on that report if you have nothing else to do. The faster we know about the market tendencies, the better and faster we can create the shop."
They all nodded. "We understand, Matriarch!"
Yasenia turned toward Carbira and asked. "Are you sure you don't want to change powers? I'm more than welcome to take you in. You look like a competent person."
Carbira shook her head. "I owe too much to the Brilliant House owner. I won't betray him unless he doesn't want me anymore."
'Ghana, keep an eye on Carbira. If they fail to keep a hold on her in the future, don't lose a chance to recruit her.' Even if Yasenia didn't insist, she gave that order to Ghana, just in case.
Ghana was amused and answered. 'I'll look onto it, Matriarch. You really don't lose a chance.'
Yasenia gave her a side glance and a smirk. 'If I weren't like that, I would've missed recruiting you.'
Ghana smiled and didn't answer.
They all walked before one of those ten rooms, and Carbira spoke. "This is a VIP seller room. There is a formation that roughly evaluates the general value of the things placed inside. If you light up the crystal above the front door, you'll pass the quality test."
Yasenia nodded and asked. "Anything I should take note of?"
Carbira thought and answered. "The room only measures items outside your ring. Hence, take out everything you want to auction. The brighter the light, the better the treatment of your batch, after all."
