Chapter 91: Magic Stones (2/2)
Barret eyed his surprised face and knew that he didn't know much about the Irabel family. ”Don't look down on them. Even in the Orddono Capital, they are somewhat famous for their Silk Clothing.”
”Silk Clothing?'' He looked surprised at Barret.
”Yes,” Barret replied. ”Silk weaving is done through sericulture or rearing of mulberry plants, nurturing the silk insect, and eventually developing cocoons by procedures like twisting, dyeing, weaving, printing, and finally finishing off the product. If not for their limited resources and shallow foundation they might have already become one of the best suppliers of silk in our reagion.”
Kadyn was surprised, he had never thought that Irabel House's main business was Silk. Nonetheless, he was just slightly surprised and that was also because never thought that they were doing such an unusual business that people from earth used to do.
But then again, though this world was magical, people still loved to wear expensive clothing, eat delicious food and build beautiful houses. These were the necessities of a human being, after all.
After that, he stared at Barret and changed the topic. ”How's Elder Jyn doing?”
”He's doing fine now. Potioneer Yel has concocted all kinds of healing potions for him. After a few days, he will fully recover.” He replied.
”That's good.” He murmured. Then went on. ”If they are interested in travelling with us. I don't mind.”
Barret smiled hearing his response. ”Alright, I'll let them know. I don't think they would have any problem. After all, more people means better security. Bandits would think twice before attacking such a large convoy.” He paused and said. ”Alright, then I will go and let Patriarch Irabel know about it.”
Kadyn nodded, but then he thought something and asked. ”Do you have any… umm, Magic Stones?”
”Magic Stones?” Barret seemed surprised at his sudden question.
”Yeah, I need them for something. Do you have any?” Kadyn's eyes lit up seeing his reaction. He must have some Magic Stones.
Barret hesitated but then said. ”I have around 10 Magic Stones — if you want I can give you.”
”Really?” Kadyn's eyes lit up.
”I'll send Zelie to give you Magic Stones,” Barret said and departed. Kadyn eyed his back and a smile appeared on his face. He was always thinking about how to get his hands on some Magic Stones but he never thought that Barret would have some. Now he could practice Formation Building.
”If I could reach the level of Aleera I would feel content.” He grinned as he said. He knew that it wouldn't be easy to reach the level of Aleera, she was a real Formation Master.
”Well, I can practice Elementary Formations with those Magic Stones, or I can add the Magic Stone in Virtual Shop as well, and when I reach Rank 1 Magus I won't need any outside energy to maintain the formation. I would be able to form them with my own Spiritual Energy.” Kadyn muttered.
”Sir, I need to buy a potion.”
As he was lost in thinking he heard a voice from another side, he looked at the man and grinned. ”Sure, what kind of potion would you like to buy, sir?”

The two days went just like that and on the end of the second day Hot Rod arrived. Kadyn gaped in surprise in front of him and saw around five men carrying a colossal cauldron through the shop gate. Only now did he realise why Hot Rod didn't bring the cauldron with him when he came to the Avibria City. The thing was humongous. And hard to carry.
Hot Rod smiled when he spotted Kadyn. ”Sir, where should I make them place the cauldron?”
”Of course, inside the Artisan Hall. Where else do you think?” Kadyn rolled his eyes at him.
”This way,” he instructed the worker after Kadyn confirmed. Then he turned to look at Kadyn and asked. ”Sir, when do you think I should begin forging?” he paused and asked. ”What about metals?”
”Didn't you say that you have a collection of Common Rank Metals?”
Hot Rod's eyes twitched. But he still passed the bag that he was carrying with him. Kadyn took it and checked the content inside. Indeed, he saw quite a few metal chunks. Some were the size of a fist, while others were the size of a marble. But for Kadyn their value was far greater, no matter if it was marble-sized metal or fist-sized, they were invaluable.
Now he could add them in Virtual Shop as well. He would have an infinite supply of these metals in the future. His eyes shone as he thought about it. He looked at the Artisan who was peering at the bag with reluctant eyes. Kadyn rolled his eyes at him and said. ”Don't worry, I will return these metals.”
Hot Rod stared at him and gave an only-ghost-would-believe-you type look.
