Chapter 17：One month (2/2)
”Ms Haley. I can understand why Ms Freya is like that, but why are you behaving like that.” Sam asked Haley, who was also clearly feeling guilty. Haley just stayed silent. Instead Marvin answered.
”Well, Haley is city lord's daughter.”
”Oh” Sam acknowledged and stayed silent for a while. Then he continued. Ms Haley, Ms Freya your dresses will be ready by the next month. But I am not doing it completely with the feathers. I have some new ideas. But you should still pay after the work is done. I will give you the discount though. Sam said completely changing the topic. Both girls looked a little startled and finally smiled. Seeing this, others also smiled and they soon went back to their cheerful selves. After sometime Sam took out a list and handed it over to Marvin and said.
”Marvin can you buy these for me?” As he said that Sam gave him the list and was about to pass him some spirit stones in the leather pouch. But was immediately stopped by Philip.
”Sam, it is better if you don't takeout the fire spirit stones now. The topic of these fire spirit stones is still sensitive. So, its better to pay using normal spirit stones.” Philip said.
”But I don't have any normal spirit stones.” Sam said awkwardly. Hearing this everyone was dumbfounded. Then Philip came out of his daze and said.
”Then Paul will accompany Marvin. He will exchange your fire spirit stones, with the normal spirit stones with my father and then they will buy you the items that you want.” Philip said after some thinking.
”Sure” Sam said and handed over the pouch to Paul. Now their previous awkwardness is completely wiped out. Paul took the pouch while Marvin looked through the list. The more he read, the more he opened his mouth wide. He came out of his daze and looked at Sam in bewilderment and asked.
”Sam, why do you need so many items, what are you going to do?”
”Let me see.” Philip asked as he grabbed the list and he also got shocked. He then said to Sam, his wide open. ”Sam, when did you start dabbling in the Formations and inscriptions?” This time Haley and Freya also lost their cool. 'He knew inscriptions and formations. Since when did he know. Where did he learn those?' this was thought in everyone's mind. Sam didn't bother to reply. He instead turned towards Marvin and spoke. ”Please get them as quick as possible. If you are left with change bring formation flags.” The list contained all the items that are required to create any type of formation or inscription. The items include every type of material required to create even the most complex of the first rank inscription or the formation.” Marvin nodded and went outside along with Paul.
The rest just chatted leisurely. It already became evening by the time Marvin and Paul came back. When they came back, they saw that Sam and others are still in the living room and two panthers are also playing around. Both Marvin and Paul were exhausted as they dropped onto the chairs.
”Sam, next time you better give me compensation for that tiresome job. We had to buy all the items in different shops to not to get suspected and it has been evening buy the time it was completed.” Marvin said in an exhausted tone. Everyone looked at Paul. He didn't say anything. But from his expression, they all understood that his is in same state as Marvin.
”Sure, sure.” Sam said as he spread his hand towards hand. Marvin took a spatial ring and passed over to Sam and Sam passed over his own empty spatial ring. Sam checked all the items in satisfaction. Then he looked at them and said.
”Guys, I need to tell you something.” Everyone looked at him and waited for him to continue.
”I will be going outside the city again and will be back one month later.” Sam said with a straight face. Everyone stayed silent with a dumbfounded gaze and then looked at each other.
”Then why did you come at all?” Freya asked.
”It is a bit troublesome to buy all these things.” Sam said again with a straight face. Hearing his reply Marvin and Paul looked at each other pitifully. They wanted to cry, but no tears came. Philip and others also looked at them and sighed. You came all the way back just make us run your errands. This is the thought in everyone's heads.
