Chapter 39 - Berries (1/2)
Evan was pleased with the result, thanks to the ”Transforming of Spells” he had greatly increased the power of the ”Ice Veil”. Of course, he sacrificed three Compression Runes for this and now the spell required much more mana, but it was definitely worth it.
Whoosh.
The young man gripped the hilt of his sword tighter and pulled it out of the wall with one tug. As soon as he did so, however, the sword blade began to fall apart. There was nothing Evan could do about it, so he just watched his weapon was breaking before his eyes. After a couple of seconds, all that was left of the sword was the hilt and the guard.
”Well... Looks like I need a proper weapon for such a powerful spell.” Evan said calmly, looking at the remains of the sword in his hand.
The altered ”Ice Veil” was too powerful for such a simple weapon. Evan decided to find something stronger and more durable. He couldn't let something like that happen during combat.
At that moment, he immediately remembered his fight with Fien. Her rapier looked many times better than his sword. Although, Evan didn't need the ”Catalyst”, but he wished he had something of similar quality.
”I think it's time to have a meal and spend some money.”
Evan hadn't eaten anything since he left Marcel's mansion. He'd only had time to visit the library. Initially, he had plans to explore the city carefully, but then he wanted to get right down to the experiment he had read about in the old diary.
Evan put the hilt of his sword aside and went to take a shower. The bathroom in his new home couldn`t even be compared to the hot springs at Zak's mansion, but it suited him fine.
After the shower, Evan quickly got ready and left the house. He took only his amulet and the card. Evan was dressed very simply, from the outside he did not look like a magician, but like a poor commoner. However, he did not care what others thought of him.
Evan believed that clothing should be comfortable and to the wearer's liking. If he is comfortable in the cheapest things he will wear it, but if he likes something expensive, he won`t spare the money. You have to enjoy what you wear, the rest is not important - that's how Evan reasoned.
Evan left the house and headed back to the center of the Mossy Vulture. Since he wanted a new weapon, he needed either a forge or a gun store.
Moreover, since he now had plenty of money thanks to Marcel, Evan wanted to have lunch somewhere nice. He was curious about the cooking in this world and how much different it was from his past one in terms of food. When he was at Zak's he had tried some unusual and strange ingredients, so he wanted to try even more new things.
...
After a while, Evan found himself again at the Vulture statue in the center of the town. Initially, he had first wanted to go for weapons, but an interesting sign at one of the restaurants caught his attention. It depicted strange-looking berries, which he had not seen at Zak's mansion, so he immediately headed for the restaurant.
