He thought, buttoo much into her character traits there There were all sorts of people in this world He had e as a reward so it orth it He was now stuffed and back in his roo to bed

To spree He needed to buy out as many runic spell scrolls as possible He could then start creating scheain levels

The more levels and the better stats he achieved, the faster he would beco his wares He was also hopeful that in the future the Libra Auction House would drop their percentages Losing 25 after they got their cut was a bit ed others as uise thatThe place he was visiting first was the saot the runic fire arrow spell froic Emporium

He stepped forward the doors opened by themselves with the help of some kind of enchantment He wanted to examine this door, maybe it also operated on some runes and he would be able to add another one to his collection

There weren’t that many people in here and he didn’t really coeneral store that was closer to his inn had all the necessary items He was also concerned that if he ca the runic scrolls would fall through

The elven girl by the na as the main salesperson He just moved over to the display case with the runic spells They were all still there, even though there weren’t many he could use theh he was able to make some profit on them, the other crafters didn’t seee over other people He could just take their work and improve upon it Even if the person made the lowest of low runic spells he could turn it into the highest one in a rade runic spells were a bit harder to correct They used a lot more runes and even their schematics were double their size This was also why he needed more tiet the crafting process down to near perfection This was also just for one rune, if he tried co

He looked to the elf lady,her over as he wanted to buy a couple of these scrolls She s it on purpose but her hips were swinging side to side in an alluring way The high heels she earing were ainst the wooden floor panels when she moved forward

“What will it be dear customer?, I see that you have decided~”

“I’d like to buy this Runic Orb of Light spell scroll and this Runic Aqua Ball spell scroll… also this Frost Bolt one…”

He started listing theh reat for his future research as he was itching to start fiddling with the runic components He had already listed down all the parts into his notes and now he just needed some time to experiment

“You want to buy the runic spell scrolls?”

“Hht back”

The elf replied and walked away This was an unexpected reaction He started wondering if there was sooods, take the coins and it would be over Maybe she had more scrolls in the back and she didn’t want to move these dusty ones?

He reo up the stairs, the same ones that he had used before

‘Are the scrolls stored up there?’

He wasn’t sure what this was about but he just waited He needed these spells scrolls as without theress He needed more samples to ith, the nuh and only one was good for earning money

After about five minutes the elf finally descended fro back towards hi any scrolls with her so Roland’s first assu

“Excuse et these scrolls then?”

He asked as he didn’t want to waste any et soize, but that won’t be possible”

“Excuse me?”

He was baffled by the answer Was there soure out his scheme and that he could make schematics of already completed runic symbols? His mind spun into conspiracy theory territory as he started sweating

“Ah don’t worry, It’s not like that The er would just like to speak with you”

“Thewith soe pitchers popped into his head

“Yes, he wishes to discuss some business opportunities, I’m sure he will allow the purchase of these scrolls after that~”

“Business opportunities?“

The elf girl just s the answer in histo mind was that he was found out They didn’t want to sell him the runic spells and they wanted to talk business, if this wasn’t about hi to the auction house then he would eat a shoe

He had two options Leaving and trying another shop, this wasn’t the only one with these unused runic spells The other one was to head up and see what this person wanted from him If he just left then he would be left uninforer’s o and see hier as this man wasn’t a warrior but an alchemist He was also a store owner so he probably did just want to throw a business proposition his way He could always decline and ot complicated was also an option

“Okay, lead the way”

He nodded while the golden-haired elf so Not ed there, the person inside still looked the saht have increased with a few pitchers and beakers here and there though

The door closed behind him after the elf woer, if he was also the owner of it was unknown to hi and looked around, besides the alchemist utensils there was also a furnace to the side

He wondered why soht next to a bunch of che on a nearby bookshelf Then he remembered that this world probably didn’t have anyone to check the safety measures of stores

“Runic fire arrows, eh?”

“Huh?”

He could hear the gnoher-pitched voice than a huht to the other gnomes he had seen around the city and he was a bit on the taller side, close to 120 cm

“What about runic fire arrows?”

He replied, playing dumb as he didn’t know if he had been really found out or just being tested The olderwhat he was and finally stepped out fro on

He had a gruood look at hi some kind of turban on top of his head His ears were pointy and long, not as long as an elf’s though He had quite a large nose with a large wart on the left nostril His clothes consisted of a baggy robe that was tied to him with a brown leather belt

“Kid, don’t insult ence Did you really think no one would notice your antics?”
