Episode 50.2 (1/2)
After leaving Dungeon City Wado, they arrived at Sopdemoa in just three days time.
Sopdemoa is the biggest commercial city in the southern part of the kingdom. Goods from Gido and Smarc are brought to Sopdemoa first before they get distributed to the capital and other parts of the kingdom.
”Lecan. Did you know?”
”Know what.”
”They say Sopdemoa's jewel craft is the best in Zaka Kingdom. And that some of the top jewelry stores in the kingdom are here in this town.”
”Hou.”
Lecan looked for a guard, showed him the Dylan Silver Steel-made Wazrof Medal, and asked him where the best inn in the town.
Then at that inn, he showed Wazrof medal again to get rooms and referral to the best jewelry store.
He was going to the store right away at first but Eda stopped him. She said she's not going there until after taking a bath and changing her attire.
The following morning, they got the inn transport them to the jewelry store on a wagon. Eda was wearing a noble lady attire. She said Heles gave it to her when Lecan asked.
At the store, Lecan showed Wazrof medal once again and handed over one platinum coin to the manager.
”Bring some jewelry that look good on this woman with this.”
”Understood.”
The manager brought back a luxurious-looking circlet and a ring that exuded an overwhelming presence.
”They are truly beautiful indeed. However, manager. I wish to wear gift from this person on me always. Will you show me a ring that doesn't look out of place on casual clothes, unwieldy and easy to move around with?”
”Acknowledged.”
”Hold it. Ring is fine and all, but bring back one for casual clothes and another for special occasions.”
”Acknowledged.”
”Lecan...”
After quite some time, they decided on the two rings. The casual ring is a Grace Gear, it grants moisture to the wearer's skin, and heals dry skin. As Eda has
, such Grace Gear is unnecessary, but Lecan kept that thought to himself.
Eda insisted that he should buy rings for Norma as well. Another platinum coin and Eda chose a casual ring and a special occasion ring.
Eda's casual ring automatically fits its wearer but the three others would need refitting. In addition, Eda's casual ring couldn't have engraving added, but the rest got names and years engraved to signify them being presents from Lecan.
Eda's finger could be sized up in the store, but it wasn't possible with Norma. However, as Mashajain has a jewelry store connected to this store, the sizing would be done there instead.
”Well then, we'll take Eda's casual ring here. Send the rest to Mashajain and contact Wazrof Household.”
