“Lousy beggars.”
Tesla and Queena did not make a sound since Ramanbell’s group of company was still waiting nearby.
Ramanbell humphed and walked away. His men followed behind, creating quite a scene on the street with their sheer number.
The remaining people in the shop all stayed silent for a while.
A series of laughter broke the quietness.
“Beggars? Bahhaha! What a joke today!” Fosah was laughing so hard that his eyes were hidden behind all the flesh on his overgrown face.
Laffitte gave Tesla a disdainful glance. “That’s what you call rich! Angor already gave a better price, and SOMEONE didn’t know how to appreciate it. Poor bastards wanted to act big! Ha!”
Tesla’s ego was too broken to keep arguing. Ramanbell’s taunt at the end had ruined his spirit for good.
“What the f*ck are you waiting for? Just go already so you don’t invite more trouble!” Queena quickly dragged Tesla away.
At the door, she glanced back at Angor with a pair of eyes shining with cunning violence like a viper.
After those two left, Dave also laughed out loud. “You’re awesome today, Angor! Too bad it’s just Naru’s henchmen. Aw, why didn’t Naru come with them?”
“I wasn’t awesome before?” Angor raised an eyebrow.
“You were! That woman, though… Did you see her face? I think they do remember you now,” Dave looked worried.
Angor waved a hand nonchalantly. “It doesn’t matter. If they get in my way… heh.”
Fosah approached them and bowed to Angor. “Thank you, really, or we would be the ones in trouble. If we can’t get the boss’ request done, we’ll have to find another boss.”
The fatty glanced at Angor next.
Angor quickly backed away. “I didn’t do that for you. Don’t get me wrong. If your business is done, just go away.”
Fosah was planning to ask where Angor got the other two alchemy weapons. Now that Angor openly rejected his friendliness, Fosah only chuckled and took Laffitte away from the shop.
“What’s about the purification garden, Master? Why’s everyone buying weapons? I mean, four hundred crystals! This is insane,” Dave spoke.
Prome grinned. “You should ask Angor about this one. He knew about the information way earlier than us. That’s why you went to challenge the tower so early, am I right?”
Angor smiled and explained everything to them.
“Ah… That’s why you asked me to sell the weapons a month and a half later? You already knew their prices are gonna go up!” Dave commented.
Dave did not mind Angor’s decision to withhold the information. Even if Angor told him, he did not have what it took to challenge the tower.
Prome was still waiting for an answer from Angor and he could not really wait any longer.
“Angor, you… Did you find an anti-undead rune?”
“Sadly, I didn’t find a rune to repel the undead.”
Prome looked down a little.
“But I saw a magic array for that purpose called ‘Prelude to Elimination’. Have you heard of it, sir?”
Prome went through his memory and shook his head. “I’ve little knowledge about rune enchantment, let alone magic arrays. I only know several common ones. As for the one you mentioned… No, I have no clue.”
“You… learned magic array enchantment, Angor?” Dave asked in surprise.
Dave knew that something enchanted with a magic array was at least a mid-tiered alchemy item or something better. With such a technique, Angor could already be considered a better alchemist than Master Prome.
Prome also gave Angor a curious look.
“I don’t know if I can do it yet. I tried. Before I can see any result, I don’t have enough mana for it. How can I draw a magic array without mana?”
“I see. You’ll have a hard time drawing arrays even if you know how,” said Prome as he sighed. “Looks like I’ll have to check out the Wizard Fair.”
“Is there a way to address this problem?” Angor tried to ask, “I’ve been experiencing a lack of mana before when trying to draw some of the runes.”
“If you have problem with mana… this is pretty simple. One direct approach is to spend money—you can use magic crystals as a source of mana.”
Angor already knew that magic crystals could be used as a power source for alchemy items, however…
“But the crystals only provide primal mana, right? I still need to convert them into my body. That will be too slow.”
