After completing Kong's course, I searched the bazaar for hairpin intel. A foreign merchant directed me to the auction. While waiting, I eavesdropped on a women discussing the Treasurer, overheard a dark perfume recipe, and conversed with her before following her into the grand auction.

I had to keep looking for intel in the bazaar. And suddenly, I found this merchant calling me upstairs to look at his wares. So I decided to visit the foreign merchant's stall in the bazaar.

The merchant followed me upstairs after I climbed up the stairs. And there I noticed some hairpins, but not the one I was looking for. But the merchant gave me intel that I could find the hairpin at the auction.

When I was waiting for the auction to begin, I found these ladies talking about the Treasurer.
So I eavesdropped on their conversation and understood they were a perfume supplier and a customer there who knew about the Treasurer.

Then I had to follow the mysterious woman who was talking with the perfume supplier, and they were talking more about the Treasurer on their way.

I had to eavesdrop on their conversation again after they reached a cabin, where they talked about a perfume that mentioned they needed blood, which was essential in the scent.

And then Basim realized this woman could be from the Caliph's inner circle, as she knew the Treasurer.
As Basim decided to speak to the woman, I walked ahead toward her when she was resting.

After greeting her, Basim introduced himself as a perfume admirer, mentioning he could not help but overheard them about the perfume.
And then they had a conversation about the perfume only, while Basim tried to find some clues.

Then the lady started walking toward the auction to join it while I kept following her, and I went for the auction as well.
Until next time, happy gaming.
