Chapter 59:Buy and sell store (2/2)
”W-Why I have to give up?” He was puzzled by her words.
”The person who borrowed is somewhat a mysterious person.” Her reply was somewhat vague for him.
”What? May I know who that person is?” Yman asked her. No matter who it is, he must find that person. And borrowed the book.
”M-Miss Ice.”
”Ice?” Yman frowned at the name. This name sound familiar to him. He tried to scan his memory and was successfully remembered where he heard it. It was yesterday inside the barracks. Some junior trainees were gossiping about the name Lady Ice. So it must be the same Miss Ice that the librarian girl mentioned.
”Ah, may I know where I can find that person? Do you know that person's address?” Yman asked.
”Sorry, but you can't find her.”
Yet her reply surprised him again. ”Why can't I?” But he needed to know. Wait, if he remembered correctly, weren't those guys in the barracks talking about how that person went into seclusion for three months?
As expected the librarian said that Miss Ice was gone for three months and no one knew where she was currently.
Yman left the library dejected.
Since the book was not there, he decided to go back to the hotel room. But before that, he must go to the market first. He needed to buy some stuff and food.
Yman rode on a carriage. After several minutes, he went down and paid 5 gold points to the coachman via the trading system.
Every Magic Tool Mobile Device has such a Wallet Section and Trade System just like a magician's Cyber Screen. But for ordinary people, they use this MTMD or Magic Tool Mobile Device. Even some magicians were using this device. Yman was one of them. Since he sometimes left Sistela to look after his sister.
Yman first went to a buy and sell store.
He saw a few people leaving the store with solemn faces. Each of them was wearing the uniform of Middle Region Magic Academy.
He assumed that they were Junior students because of the color of their badges. They were wearing silver-plated badges. While the fledgling had bronze, and gold for the senior trainees.
”Tsk, if this continued like this, the academy's defeat will be a sure thing,” said one of the juniors in a dejected voice.
”That is if Lady Ice would not return.” Replied the person beside him.
”Tsk, it was already three months. Yet no one knows where she went.” Added the third person.
”You guys are such sissies. What's the purpose of coming to this academy if you're too dependent on others.” Yelled the fourth person.
”Yeah, and I heard there are many talented newbies this year.” Said the first person.
”Man-up dude! I just said not to depend on other people. What's the use of being a magician if we can't stand on our own feet? Let's get our revenge later and hit them hard!” The fourth guy shouted.
”Yeah, yeah, but no matter what you said, we still have no match against those magicians from the other academies.” Replied by the third guy.
”And they always steal our loot. Hah~” sighed the second guy.
”.....”
Yman was just listening to their conversation as they passed by. He knitted his brows. He wondered why the juniors seemed to be troubled.
Regardless, he must finish his business here. So that he could go home already.
When he stepped inside the store, a lack of vigor 'Welcome' from a middle-aged man at the counter, greeted him. When the man saw him, he frowned and thought.
'Tsk, just another weakling again. For sure this young man will sell his low-quality materials only. Such a waste of time.' He thought while twitching his face.
”Hah, this shit, what's your business?” Such a rude way of asking.
However, Yman just ignored it. Although he did not like it. But what else could he do? He came here for business.
”I wanted to sell some monster materials,” Yman replied normally.
The man in front frowned in disgust as he thought, 'As expected. A seller of trash materials again. Just the same as those groups of idiots who came just now. Those fools in the academy could not even produce a talented magician.
I have to start packing my things and go back to the empire. Not only academy magicians will sell their monster loots there, but also some of the adventurers. Even the soldiers of the empire did too.
Compared to the empire, the business rate in this place is the lowest. Pwe!
And look, this magician from that academy looks unhealthy and sick. Can this boy even be able to kill a worm? Tsk, tsk, HAHAHA... Are they starving their magicians? What a joke! In that case, that academy is good to be shut down together with this place!'
The man shook his head and laughed.
”50 gold points to all your materials. No excess and no price offer!” The man said blatantly.
Yman scratched the back of his head and thought, |Is this store a fraud?|
A monster core of rank D+ Wanderer already cost not lower 5,000 GP. Yman wanted to laugh at the man's price. And he also had a fragment of the monster core from Mustang Spider. Which might sell for 2,000 GP. Plus the other parts.
He already checked the official price of these materials before coming here.
”Uh, Mister, do you think this monster core(inner core) only costs 50 gold points? What a swindler!” Yman said while showing the purple color hard rocky objects. That glistened when lights hit on it directly.
”A p-purple monster core?!” The man widened his eyes.
