28 Shopping (1/2)

”So Laurel is your aunt?” I asked alex as we left the office.

”Yes and no. She was engaged to my uncle, but he died on an adventure before they could actually get married. So I call her my aunt.”

I nodded as I listened. ”You must have been worried when she was gone.”

”Yea, her and her brother were a pair, they had went to observe the Velocinid's in their natural habitat. They are a new mutation after all. But apparently while they were hunting they actually ended up being the hunted. The result was a devastating fight that left them both injured. Afterwords a group of goblins appeared. She won't tell us what happened but I can only imagine. She was gone for a little over a month.”

I went pale as I listened. A month of that kind of treatment was too much for a person to bare. I can't believe how strong she is. Laurel is truly an admirable woman.

”So.. shopping? I don't know how much coin I have..” I quickly checked my inventory. It seems the goblins inhabit defeated had actually hordes quite a bit of coin. I had a total of 10 gold pieces. 57 silver and 12 copper. I did not know if it was a lot or a little, but it should be enough I think.

”It looks like I have around 10 gold? Is that going to be enough?”

Alex rolled her eyes at me. ”10 gold is enough to buy several houses, getting something like clothes with it would not be an issue, how did you even get so much?”

”The goblins had quite the stash.”

She laughed as she led me through the building. We ended up stopping on the third floor, which looked a lot like a flea market. There were various stalls that sold all sorts of items.

”All the items here can be bought with regular coins. Some of the items are magical, but their cost is much higher. Most unwanted magical items are sold to the shop for that type of coin. After all as an adventurer the magical shop is where we can get skills, spells, and truly great equipment. so any magical items you see here will be vastly inferior to what you can see in the shop. That or it is something that has no combat potential.”
