Chapter 103: Selling a Common Rank Artifact (2/2)
”Miss…”
”I'm fine,” she replied. ”I want to buy this dagger.”
”Fifty thousand dollars,” Kadyn replied. Though the standard price of the dagger was just about twenty thousand, Kadyn was selling it just a little below the market price. Around ten thousand dollars. Though it sounded quite a loss, it would benefit him in the future. Furthermore, the money wasn't that important to him. The Energy Points were, so he didn't think much about it.
Nefia gestured towards her maid. Cecilia also realised that she had misunderstood the situation. Her face turned red. Then she apologised. ”I'm sorry.”
Kadyn calmed down when he saw an embarrassed expression on her face and said. ”For the sake of your beautiful mistress, I will let you go. If you made that face no one would marry you so smile.”
Zelie and Elora rolled their eyes at him while Nefia smiled. She had never met someone like him before. Strange boy. Then she flicked her hand and a bundle of notes appeared. ”Here, fifty thousand dollars.”
Cecilia wanted to speak something as the fifty thousand seems a huge some for an ordinary Common Rank dagger, but was silenced by Nefia's glare.
Kadyn took the money and a smile appeared on his face. ”Thank you. Please, be free to check out our potions as well. They are also of the finest quality.”
”You have already robbed the entire money from the mistress and you are still being so greedy.”
”Don't be rude, Cecilia,” Nefia said helplessly, her face also turning somewhat red when her secret was revealed. Cecilia realised her mistake and bit her tongue under her teeth in embarrassment.
Nefia knew Cecilia sometimes could be really annoying. Though she was her servant, she was also her best friend, even closer than that, like her sister. Therefore, she could only sigh helplessly when she acted grumpily. She looked at Kadyn and others apologetically. ”I'll come later to buy more artefacts… and the potions,” she looked around as she said. Then went on. ”But now, we need to go.”
Then she grabbed Cecilia's hand and headed towards the exit of the shop. Kadyn stared at the girl and murmured. ”She has a Spatial Artifact.” His eyes were glued on her right hand on which she wore a shining ring. ”She must have a strong background.” He muttered. The two girls beside him nodded in agreement.
”What happened just now to that girl?” Elora asked after a brief silence.
Kadyn smiled and started to walk towards the counter as he told them what happened.
——
”Dagger is too powerful to control?” Cecilia asked in shock and bewilderment.
Nefia nodded. ”Yes. Not only that but the dagger is at the peak of the Common Rank. The artisan who crafted this dagger must be at the edge of advancing.” Nefia paused and then continued. ”I'm just an Elementary Rank Mage. If it was a normal Rank 1 artefact I would have controlled it without a problem, but not this one, when I tried to control the dagger, it backfired. I could not control the Inscription on it.” She glanced at the dagger in her hand incredulously.
”I thought they…”
”They conned us?” Nefia rolled her eyes and Cecilia turned red once more in embarrassment.
”Alright,” Nefia patted her on the shoulder. ”I know you did that because you were worried about me. You don't need to feel bad. But remember to think before acting in the future.”
The maid nodded and the duo walked away.
As they vanished into the distance, a figure walked out from behind a tree, holding a long staff in his hand. He was Ish. At this moment he was frowning. Then he murmured. ”What is she doing here? I need to inform Jefor about it. Though he is just an idiot, he is a rich idiot with a powerful background. I need him to trample that arrogant boy for me.” He gritted his teeth when he remembered Kadyn's words and then he also vanished.
