Chapter 65 Abyss Tomes (1/2)
”Ssss…”
”When can you learn to keep quiet?” Alex muttered as he tried to swat away Asteria who was floating behind him. ”Can't you see that I am eating?”
Asteria, who was busy making the hissing sounds, gave Alex a sneer as she said,
”Hmph, are you thinking that I did not notice it?”
”Notice what?” Alex muttered as he continued on eating.
”That you do not like that golden woman that you brought in earlier, and that you associate her with me.” Asteria said as she frowned at Alex. ”From what I can see, you are pouring your frustrations on me towards her.”
”Um… yeah, I think you are a little right, but that is only one time.” Alex replied as he gave Asteria a not-so-guilty look. ”I admit that what I did to that golden girl earlier was a little… excessive.”
Alex then slurped his remaining dish with relish as he said,
”I feel bad with what I did to her, so I will apologize to the golden girl later, after Alina talks with her. I am sure that she can understand me pretty well as long as I explain myself.”
But it seems like Asteria is still not buying it.
”Hmph, so making a girl piss in fear is just a little excessive?” Asteria scoffed, as if she could not believe what Alex was saying. ”And here I thought you were a decent guy.”
”Huh?” This time, it was Alex who was confused. ” Why are you so worked up with what I did anyway? Do you have any special connection with that golden girl?”
”Of course none!” Asteria shot back as she kicked Alex's head. Alex of course did not feel any pain from that. ”I just … do not like what you did. That is all.”
”Oh really?” Alex muttered as he looked at Asteria intently, who just stared back too.
”...”
”...”
”Tsk, knowing you, I am sure that you will not tell me anything unless I need it.” Alex declared with reluctance as he stood up, with his tentacles moving freely. ”I will just have to wait until you want to speak up.”
Asteria's only reply to that was a wet raspberry.
”...”
***************
”So, is there any way for me to learn Abyss Magic at a faster rate?” Alex asked as he watched Alina and the golden girls' discussion from the distance. ”I could not help but have the feeling that many strong people will come to this place sooner or later…”
”Well, you need to read a Magic Tome if you want to learn a type of Magic faster.” Asteria replied as she slurped some honey through her straw. ”In your case, you need to have a Magic Tome related to Abyss Magic if you want to learn it faster.”
”…” Alex's eyes twitched as he recognized the business-like tone in Asteria's voice.
From the way that Asteria talked right now, what she wanted was quite obvious.
”You want to sell me some Magic Tomes, right?” Alex said as he slightly massaged the symbol on his forehead. ”Tsk, I could not help but feel like this whole Traveler thing is just sophisticated capitalism.”
”Well, who cares about that when you can get special powers!” Asteria blatantly ignored what Alex said as she touched the symbol on his forehead.
The symbol glowed, and Alex once more felt Asteria's connection with him.
”Sigh.” Alex sighed asshe knew that she was back at it again. ”Show me the goods.”
”Affirmative.” Asteria replied swiftly as she enumerated everything in the list.
Alex listened quietly, but it was quite obvious from his tentacles that what he heard were all making him quite happy.

”....” Alex carefully assessed everything that Asteria said, as he felt shocked at the amount of Tomes that he can buy.
”I can buy… all of these Tomes, right?” Alex asked Asteria as he shook his head a little. ”I really can buy them all?”
