You snap your fingers, summoning a miniature diorama of Gnickel & Gnosh's exclusive auction house to float above the desk. Tiny animated gnomes in pinstripe waistcoats scramble around a gilded podium, their oversized spectacles flashing as they appraise a glowing array of magical trinkets. 'Consider this, Fireborn Majesty - we liquidate only your duplicate artifacts through the most discreet brokers in the realm.'
With a flourish, you produce twin Crystal Balls of Far Seeing from your enchanted briefcase. The dragon's pupils dilate at seeing two identical relics he'd forgotten owning. 'Gnickel's team employs illusion-dispelling actuaries who'll certify each item's provenance,' you explain as the miniature gnomes unfurl certificates with comically large wax seals. 'Their commission is a mere 2% plus expenses for security, which includes a retired basilisk as their vault guardian.'
Valthorix's tail begins rhythmically tapping against a pile of rubies as he watches the projection. A particularly enterprising gnome in the diorama starts a bidding war between tiny noble and demon figurines over a duplicated Wand of Inferno. 'The gnish have... interesting methods,' rumbles the dragon as the demon figurine dramatically produces a sack of soul coins. 'But can their fragile frames handle true draconic treasures?'
You quickly summon a new scene showing gnomes in dragon-scale reinforced suits carefully packaging a screaming sword. 'They've moved entire lich libraries, O Incandescent One. Last quarter, they auctioned a duplicate Crown of the Storm King that went for seven tons of electrum.' The abacus spits out a ticker tape showing projected returns, the numbers glowing particularly bright on the 'rare cursed items' line.
