The fourth floor of the Blacksmith Association.
Normally, this floor served only as a VIP rest area. However, it was spacious enough to host an auction.
For high-level Soul Masters, the ironware forged by blacksmiths was indeed of little use, nothing more than useless ornaments. For low-level Soul Masters, however, some pieces could save their lives.
Thus, whenever the Blacksmith Association held an auction, many nobles from across the continent came to buy lifesaving items for their younger generations.
