42 The Oldman Yordrunli 3 (1/2)
”Anyhow Lassie, is there anything else that you couldn't find?” The Oldman asks me, as he spread his hands out on the desk.
”Do you have anything that can conceal the horns on my head. I'm afraid that people will take me for a demon,” I say after thinking for a second.
With an easy smile, the Oldman bends down and I hear some rusting before he pops back up with a mask in his hand, it only covers about my mouth area and my nose. Was that really going to be able to cover my horns?
”This will conceal your face from people, you can set it to what you want people to see, so you can change your face as easy as that.” He elaborated as he handed me the mask, it was called the [Mask of Trickery] that was a fitting name for an item that would change your face.
”I'll take it, then also is there any information on this world as a whole?” I would have to understand this world.
”No problem lassie, that's the type of stuff that my Old Friend already got for you,” he chuckled and gave me a wink. I cast another glance at Haru, he's got a smug smile on his face, I roll my eyes and look at my stack of stuff.
”Then I think that's all that I need, how much do I owe you for all this?” I ask him.
”503,000 gold lassie,” he says leaning his arm on the desk and looking at me with a smile. I felt like I was being swindled by this Oldman a bit, but I bit my tongue I had the money it was okay.
[Trade for 503,000 gold]
I quickly hit accept and the money drains in my account and a wide smile plays on the Oldman's face as he nods his head.
”A pleasure doing business with you lassie!” He grinned wider than a dragon in its lair full of gold.
I wonder if I could swipe this stuff into the ring like Haru did with his? Looking at the ring I decided it didn't hurt to try, I tried channeling my mana into the ring. But what exactly did that mean? I suppose it was similar to water, or that was at least what I thought, I imagined a stream of water flowing into a glass.
The ring on my finger got warmer feeling a bit of excitement I swipe my hand over the items and they all vanish. I couldn't help the grin that spread across my face, I did it!
[Skill Learned Through Constant Use ”Mana Control”]
Constant use, I thought I had only just used it. Maybe it was talking about something else that I didn't realize. Whatever the case was I was thankful to have gained another skill, although I had a feeling that it was something that anyone that could manipulate magic had.
Well, no worries I'm sure that it will come in handy sooner or later.
”Now that she has everything she needs Oldman I think we'll take our leave. We've got to get an Inn before all the good ones are packed for the night,” Haru says as he moves from the wall that he had been resting against.
He gave a small nod to the Oldman. Another wicked smile appeared on the Oldman's face.
”It must be nice to be young, you two don't be too rowdy remember most of the Inn have thin walls!” He laughed reaching and grabbing his book that he'd been reading when we'd first entered into his store.
I felt more blush crawl across my face at this man's antics, he was a real piece of work, wasn't he? I opened my mouth to say something to him but closed it. There was no real point in trying to argue with the Oldman.
