Chapter 152 - Race Change (2/2)

A few hours later and Ray could hear knocking on his door outside.

”Sir, there are some children outside who are waiting for you.” A maid said through the door.

Ray quickly got out of bed and instantly transformed into the man named Nes. The kids were currently waiting downstairs in the Inn. The reception area doubled up as a restaurant for guests and the kids were currently eating a large meal.

As Ray walked down the stairs the kids couldn't help but stare at him. They had only seen him yesterday but something about Ray felt different. The kids couldn't quite put their finger on it though. Tuffy then waved to Ray, Ray spotted the two and started to walk over and sat down next to them.

”Did you pay for this yourselves?” Ray asked, he knew the two weren't well off just from the equipment they had and he also noticed that their food was a lot better than all the guest sitting around them.

When Ray was walking past, he had heard the guest mumbling about the kids wondering if they had stolen some money to be able to afford something like that.

As soon as they saw Ray walk over to them their opinion quickly changed. Nes looked like a wealthy adventurer, especially with his high-end armour and Gauntlets. If he had paid for the meals they could understand.

”We cashed in those crystals you gave us and got 3 Silver for them.” Candy said.

There were four types of coins available, a Bronze coin was worth a 100 pence. Pence were small pieces of coins made out of stone but had the stamp of the kingdom on it. A silver coin was worth a 1000 pence or ten bronze coins and finally, a gold coin was worth 10 silvers.

If one was to trade in a basic tier crystal they would receive one bronze coin, if it was an intermediate crystal they would receive one silver and finally anything else above would be paid in gold.

The Armadillo chest piece that Ray had bought had the price tag of 10,000 on it. Meaning you could either pay 10 silver or 1 gold. Or you could even do what Ray had done and traded in ten intermediate crystals.

The amount shocked Ray but not because of how high it was but because they had been given the same prices, he got at Avrion. Students were meant to either get a 10 percent discount or 10 percent increase when trading in stones, which Ray had never once received but thanks to Slyvia the Blacksmith never charged him for forging the equipment so he couldn't complain now.

The kids had finished eating their meal and then Candy asked.

”Well, should we head to the Guildhall then?”

Ray nodded and the three of them headed off to the Guildhall together.
