Chapter 797 - Shopping
The upper floor of the Urb region within Alfa City was known to be the place for leisure. The massive entertainnt complex spanning over a hundred miles with a myriad of establishnts was renowned to be the best place to visit if one wanted a vacation.
In order to go to the main district, where many famous shops were located, they had to head to the middle floor.
Ery and Silva took another ride via the vehicle towards the mountain area and entered one of the caves. There, they had to go through another round of security check, where their vehicle was scanned thoroughly, before being allowed to pass through and arrive at a completely different place.
Ery could only describe it as dazzling, to say the least. It was as if living in a city at night, which had a sky full of twinkling and glittering stars shining over them. A huge city with hundreds of towering buildings that almost reach the sky and emitted millions of colorful lights.
Thousands of vehicles similar to the one they were traveling in were seen flying around the place in a hurry. Under Silva's direction, the magus driving vehicle took them to one of the big dos located in the center of this place.
After landing, just like before, two of the magus stayed on board, while another two accompanied Ery and Silva as they entered the place.
The small group entered through a door that automatically opened itself when it detected sothing nearby. As soon as they entered, a figure swiftly approached to welco them.
"Welco, Silva Ouroboros. We, the staff of Alfa stellar store, thank you for your visit today. I am Xiana 13, and I will be your attendant for the day. Please follow ." The figure spoke in a polite manner.
It was a young woman with long, beautiful purple hair. However, even though she spoke and moved like a human, Ery could quickly tell from the faint lines on her face and arms that she was actually a machine, or commonly known as an android.
The two of them were led into an empty white room.
As soon as they arrived and stood in the center of the room, the room's interior quickly changed. Hundreds, if not thousands, of holographic panels rapidly appeared on rows.
With his spirit reading, Ery quickly knew that those panels were all virtual. However, he was taken back when the panels felt real when he touched them. It was as if they really existed in reality.
The attendant turned around and flashed a smile, before saying, "We, Alfa Stellar store, have millions of diverse products available for purchase. Esteed guests, what can I help you with today?"
At this question, Silva turned her head and looked at Ery. "I am actually in need of a new weapon right now, so let's start with mine. This way, you can see and understand how all this works."
After seeing Ery nod his head, Silva returned her attention to the purple-haired android again.
"I want to see artifacts, weapons, swords."
Ery was silent and just watched Silva do her shopping. He had no intention of buying a sword for himself, but was very interested to see what was about to happen. Therefore, he kept rapt attention.
The attendant smiled when she heard Silva's words and her hand began to move in the air.
A mont later, hundreds of rows of holographic panels displaying images of various types of items disappeared and were replaced by rows of images of swords.
Seeing this, Silva spoke again. "Xiana, show us those of Tier 4 and Tier 5 only."
"As you wish," was the reply from the purple-haired android.
At the sa ti, the several rows of panels changed again. Within each panel were still images of swords, but the descriptions and explanations contained therein were different from before.
Every holographic panel that floated in Ery and Silva's left side was filled with images of tier 4 swords. anwhile, their right side was more or less the sa, sward with hundreds of tier 5 sword images.
Tier 4 weapons were considered as the standard for rank 9 acolytes like them, therefore it was fairly normal for Silva to ask the attendant to show a list of them. However, Silva had also asked for tier 5 weapons, which were usually used for those of magus level.
"I have already saved up to buy a tier 5 sword," Silva said excitedly. "I can't wait to finally own one!"
She walked towards one of the rows of tier 5 swords and started browsing through them, while Ery followed right behind her and saw the images of swords on the panels.
The row that Silva was sweeping at the mont was that of [Double-edged sword], the most commonly used sword and the one Ery usually used as well.
Curious about how good the swords sold in here were, Ery stepped closer to a random panel and read its contents.
[Sword of Ons]
[Long Sword - Tier 5]
[Length : 1.1 ter, Weight : 32 kilograms]
His eyes gazed past the sword's na and history, such as its forger and origin, the materials used, and so on. In the end, his gaze landed on the bottom part of the panel where the price of the sword was stated and Ery was quickly stunned.
[280.000 spirit stones]
The sword was expensive, so expensive he might not want to buy it even if he did not have to pay for his extrely specialized gene booster serum.
Currently, Ery only had 5 red stones that were worth 50,000 spirit stones. This amount of money was barely enough to buy him a tier 4 sword, let alone a tier 5. With this realization in mind, Ery could only take his eyes off the tier 5 sword and catch up to Silva.
"Ery, what do you think of this one?" Silva asked as Ery stopped right behind her.
He turned to the one she asked and read the description. "It looks good, I guess."
[Qulta Blade]
[Long Sword - Tier 5]
[Length : 1.2 ter, Weight : 18 kilograms]
The sword that Silva chose was a sword with a forest green blade and silver hilt with the guard that emitted a gleam. Silva touched the panel, "I want to test it."
The purple-haired android nodded her head. Suddenly the room turned into an arena, while tal puppets began to appear one after another.
Ery was surprised when he saw that the sword Silva had chosen appeared right where the holographic panel had been. On the other hand, the white-haired girl calmly grabbed the sword, as if she had expected it.
Silva quickly drew the sword from its scabbard and began to perform several attacks on the tal puppets, which easily shattered under the assault of her swordsmanship.
It was an amazing feat, but the words that ca out of her mouth said otherwise.
"It's a bit too long for ." Silva said as she shook her hand and sheathed the sword back. "It doesn't really match with my sword style."
This continued for several minutes, until she finally found sothing that really caught her eyes. It was a pearly white sword, attached next to a pitch black one. The girl was really fond of it.
[Gentle Sword]
[Long Sword - Tier 5]
[Length : 1.1 ter, Weight : 18 kilograms]
[Savage Blade]
[Long Sword - Tier 5]
[Length : 1.1 ter, Weight : 31 kilograms]
The detailed information explained that the two swords had been made by the sa master blacksmith and they had been created as a pair.
"Ery, let's test this with ," Silva said as she grabbed the dark sword and threw it at him.
