CH353 The Universal Void

Three days had passed since the end of the Auction Festival.
Many were sad to see the event conclude—especially the low-level artisans and craftsmen who had made a healthy profit from the sales of their crafts during the festival.
Although the Enclave had stepped up its purchase demands for low-grade crafts from them to meet bulk-sale agreements with various parties, since the Enclave's agency acted as an intermediary and took a cut of the profits, it wasn't nearly as lucrative for the artisans as it had been during the festival.
Still, profit was profit. It was far better than the days when they couldn't sell their wares at all.
It was, undeniably, a period of significant growth for the local economy of the DragonHold Enclave. The Enclave's Finance Department was determined to keep it that way—rolling out projects and initiatives to sustain economic stimulation and keep funds circulating after the auction.
