Alex looked at the item that was hauled out into the spotlight and saw the image of it floating in front of him.
Seeing that, he frowned a little. "Is this what you wanted me to wait for? A cauldron?" he asked Elder Yao.
"It is not a cauldron," the old woman said.
"A furnace then?" he asked curiously. "That's still not that—"
"It's not a furnace either. Please, just wait for the cloth to come off," the Elder said, looking back.
"Okay," Alex said, waiting for himself.
"I will not waste any more time as all of you will have been waiting for this," the auctioneer said. "Please, take a look."
The cloth finally lifted and everyone could see what was hidden under it.
Underneath the cloth was a large metal cauldron. Alex was about to comment on it when he noticed that it wasn't really a cauldron at all. It looked like one on a cursory glance, but when given more than just a glance, once recognized that it was just too tall to be a cauldron.
And too narrow as well.
