I needed to buy so armor and sharpen the sword. This sword I had now, felt rather light despite its size and even looked brand new. According to Jowy it was an ancient relic, but how in the world was it still sharp? It made wonder if it was really necessary to sharpen it.
Why was so paranoid? I was impaled with this damn sword, so of course, I'd be.
So the old man gave this much money?
The pouch had ten silver beauties and ten copper uglies left. That wasn't really that much money but I had to make do with what I had; the so-called doctor ripped off and I could feel that in my gut! This much money was good enough to live with comfort for roughly two weeks but it wasn't enough to buy things like armors and all that. I could have always bought a cheap one though. So I didn't have many worries in that regard. Besides, my armor never lasts anyway.
But then again I didn't expect the old man to give money. Well, he was rich, so I didn't know how to react to it. I'd still have to agree, just taking it without even saying anything might have been a little rude. But given the fact, how much he pissed off, I really didn't want to thank him in the least. But this ti I made up my mind that I would.
I went further inside the town. The town was paved using quartz. Roads were wide and blooming with activity. There were all sorts of shops everywhere. People were carrying bags and buying stuff; it was an even busier town than Moire. Thinking of Moire, that city was built rather nicely too. But I preferred this city as I felt as ease since I wouldn't have worry about the undead of all things.
Food stalls were looking straight at : I was glaring straight back. I was literally drooling over the roasted at on the street shops. Who cared about the incident only minutes ago? Who cared about all the problems my life had to offer?
I needed a new start to my day. A new start with sweet juicy grilled at.
It's now or never!
I paid the stall owner and bought two full sticks of skewered at.
My first real al in ages!
Finally, I didn't have to be guilty about eating rabbit at or nauseous about eating fish. I could actually eat all the at I wanted. As long as I had enough money that is.
I talked as I shoved the at through my mouth. "Ol'man do'yoknow wmhere I 'could fi'md a good weapon shop here?"
"I couldn't understand half of that but if you're looking for weapons, I'd suggest making a visit to Calor's shop. She's got the best goods in town. But beware, don't go hitting on her or her husband would start to hit on ya too, with a solid hamr that is." Halfway through, he started laughing. He was half-joking half teasing.
He was an old man selling food on a cart with wheels. Unlike the rest of the stalls, his one wasn't that fancy but his food slled the best and I went with my gut feeling. After all, the gut wants what it wants.
"Thanks for the info. Half of it wasn't really necessary though."
The owner laughed.
I finished my at and listened to him for a while. He was fun to be with. He told various stories about his glory days. According to him, he was a grand adventurer. I couldn't picture that though. I shared so of my stories too; not that any of them were worth telling. I told him about how I spent two months on an island only to be rescued by pirates. I didn't go through much but he sympathized with . It wasn't like I went around boasting, but every once in a while I felt like talking….
I went toward the direction he'd pointed in. it led straight to the massive store in the central. It was big, very big; so much so that our house (back on earth), the backyard, and the front yard would have fitted in. I was in awe seeing so many weapons and armor. There were various staff mbers and from the mont I walked in, two of them started to ask questions.
So this world has these sorts of places too, huh?
"What is your choice of weapon, Sir?"
"Are you here to buy armor, Sir?"
"Co this way, we have great armor!"
They were quite excited and started to promote their stuff a bit too much.
Am I in the wrong world or sothing?
I was wearing only a shirt, so they assud I was here to buy armor. They were right on the money though.
"Hey, you two!" A woman shouted from the opposite direction. She ca towards us. "I'll take it from here." Her voice was soothing. She dismissed the two in front of . She must have been soone of higher-order in the store; maybe the owner? "Hi there. I'm sorry you had to go through that. Lately, those two have been at it with a bit too much passion."
Tall, slender, and pale-skinned, the woman in front of looked quite appealing. Her blue hair didn't do her justice. I'd have preferred to have seen her as a brunette or even a blonde but that was just my preference.
She smiled and from my perspective, I found her smile a little attractive.
The inside of the store was very busy. The products were showcased on walls and so were even encased in glass. There were more custors than I could count, yet the service seed too good to be true. "Yeah, I could feel that."
"Anyway, what brings you here? I would assu new armor? Although you aren't wearing any, so that must be the case." The eyeballed and put up a PR smile. She knew her stuff; there was no doubt about it.
"Actually yes. And I would also need so protective gear for my hands and feet."
"How much is your budget?" She was fast and asked all the right questions.
I have to have to buy so items too, so.…
"I also have to sharpen this sword, so about eight silvers would be my limit."
"Eight? I think I can provide you with so decent quality stuff, and that is the sword?"
"Yes," I said. I handed over the sword to her.
"Not bad…" She held the sword in her hand and admired it for a couple of minutes. "Not bad at all." Her voice hid behind her breath.
She went to the counter and gave a slip.
A slip before even paying? Is sothing wrong with this store or with ?
"Wait here. Let get this to the blacksmith." She then went further inside to a room.
I'd assud that was the smithy. She ca back and brought a man. He was muscular and big, sothing which always made jealous about those kinds of people.
He was taller than and looked at with rather serious eyes. "Where did you get this?"
"In an island," I said.. I felt more intimidated than I should have.
