Chapter 63: Sorting (2/2)
”I'm here to sell some items.”
”Oh? What kind?”
Rakna took a few seconds to ponder on how to answer. ”All sorts. Sixty… two of them?”
Kaelith blinked. She sighed and slowly rubbed her eyes. ”…seriously?”
”Yes.”
She let out a dry chuckle and waved her hand. ”All right. Just pull them all out and I'll make the inventory of them.”
Rakna nodded and opened his Item Box to initiate a free trade. When Kaelith saw the window pop up in front of her, her expression shifted many times until settled on… ”Okay, sure,” she uttered with a dull voice and accepted the trade. ”I'm totally not shocked that you have a skill that costs a hundred thousand Talys. Definitely not.”
”A hundred thousand?” Rakna's eyes widened a bit. ”I had no idea it was that valuable. He told me it wasn't that expensive when he gave it to me.”
”Who?” Kaelith looked away from the window with a curious twinkle in her eyes.
”A guy called Baires. We went to Trafford before coming to the Pavilion and he attended to us.”
She scowled. ”Why would an executive of Trafford personally… you know what? Never mind. I don't want to know. I finished calculating. Here,” she said and forwarded a transfer request.

Rakna selected 'yes' without missing a beat. After witnessing a million Talys deal, he had already become desensitized to this kind of amount.
”Still, how did you get that many items? It should be from a Dungeon, right? And based on what I see here, it should be Seed Grotto. Did you enter the Hell difficulty? Did you join a party?”
”No, I was solo. I did three runs and what I sold to you is most of what I got there. Of course, I kept a decent part of it for myself and my friends.”
Kaelith exhaled loudly. ”You're truly unbelievable… I guess I will have to get used to it. Though, you must have a high luck value, right? That's the only thing that could explain the sheer quantity of loot you got.”
”The drop rate is proportionate to luck?”
”Yes. The higher the luck, the more you get. Hosts and even Locals with high luck are very valued by Guilds and other organizations for the treasures they can provide,” Kaelith explained patiently as she stood up and approached the shop's counter.
She grabbed a teapot that was placed there and a bluish flame surrounded it for a few seconds before she poured herself a cup of tea.
”There are also people with skills that can transmute items from corpses. For instance, Trafford happens to have quite a few of them to process the corpses that are sold to them.”
Rakna abruptly narrowed his eyes as her voice came from his left. He had been looking at her for the entire time but before he knew it, she was already back on the sofa adjacent to him while sipping on her drink.
When Kaelith saw his reaction, she grinned mischievously at him. ”What's wrong, wolfy? You look as if you had seen a ghost.”
”If only,” he replied after schooling his expression and she glared at him through half-lidded eyes. She then turned her head to the side and Rakna followed her line of sight to see Sylvie, the small fox pet, jump over the counter with a box on one of her tails.
”Looks like your little friend bought something,” Kaelith commented as she received the box.
Rakna glanced at Pronos who seemed very eager to see what was inside of it. She unsealed it and was startled to see what was inside. It was another pill; one with a gold and red hue.
”This is… wolfy, how much money do you have?”
”Hm?” Rakna tilted his head. ”Right now? With what you gave me, I have 92 850 Talys.”
Kaelith groaned as she heard that and picked the pill up and showed it to him. ”This thing here has a market value of 50 000 Talys and is sold for 35 000 Teilys in the pet shop. I figured you would like to know,” she said with a wry tone as she flicked the pill with her thumb.
It flew right to Pronos who jumped on Rakna's head to eat it faster. Right after swallowing it, his entire body started shining with a cyan light.
