Shop
Ti passed, and the shop once again beca busy. I was in the office room when I received an unexpected guest. The guest was none other than Jonah from the Infinite Circle.
He entered the office, and I greeted him. We sat opposite each other. My gaze fell on Jonah; I didn’t know why he had co this ti.
"Did he co to probe ?" I asked myself.
Jonah looked at the shop owner, Frank. As usual, the shop owner was wearing a mask. Because of it, Jonah was unable to see his reaction.
"Wizard Jonah, what’s up?" I asked him.
"Shop owner Frank, I didn’t expect you to return so soon. I had heard you went away for business purposes," he said.
"Yes, it was related to a big client. Fortunately, the deal went well," I replied.
Jonah nodded his head before taking an object out of his storage bracelet.
Seeing that, I realized he had co for business. I saw that it was a white-colored crystal ball. Before he could ask anything, I used the system function to probe it.
[Ding! Energy crystal ball.]
[Ding! It belongs to a body part of an outer space species.]
The system voice sounded in my mind. My heart set off storms. It is very rare to co across materials related to outer space items.
Jonah placed the object on the table. He then turned towards .
He said, "I have co here for business purposes. We got this crystal item through a trade."
"But we don’t know the exact details of the product. I hope you, Shop Owner Frank, can identify it," he added.
Hearing that, I nodded to him, but I weighed my options. I didn’t know whether it was okay to tell him the truth about the crystal ball.
I picked up the crystal ball and began to probe it in front of him. At the sa ti, I started racking my brain. I didn’t know what to say.
Anything related to outer space is important; they are mostly under the control of the Mage Union.
Jonah’s eyes flashed with expectation. He believed Shop Owner Frank could identify it.
Shortly afterward, I gave the crystal ball back to Jonah. He was taken aback. Before he could ask anything, I looked toward him and said, "I’m sorry. I couldn’t accurately identify it."
"I thought it was sothing related to a monster, but it isn’t. It appears to be sothing different," I added.
Jonah was surprised. He hadn’t expected to get that answer. He had thought Shop Owner Frank would find the answer, but he had failed this ti.
For a second, Jonah didn’t know what to say. He didn’t know whether I was telling the truth or not. Recent situations had made him doubtful.
Jonah then thought of sothing and decided to call Leader Edmund. They had spent quite a bit of money purchasing the item.
They needed to sell it to soone to make a profit; they needed money for their rotation. So, he decided to call the Leader.
"I need to make a call," Jonah said.
"Okay," I said to him.
Jonah nodded his head before going outside. He then phoned Leader Edmund and asked for his opinion. Edmund was surprised; he hadn’t expected Shop Owner Frank to fail.
"Was he telling the truth?" Edmund asked.
He himself couldn’t help but doubt. Recent situations made him think that way. Jonah didn’t know what to think about it.
"But I think we can trust him. There is no need for him to lie to us," Jonah replied.
Hearing that, Edmund agreed. But they needed money urgently. They had to sell the item.
"Then try selling the item to Shop Owner Frank himself. We need that money urgently," Edmund said.
Jonah agreed. Then he returned to the office room.
My gaze fell on Jonah again, and I asked him to sit down.
"Shop Owner Frank, we need money urgently. We can’t help but sell it to you. I hope you will buy this object from us," Jonah said.
A quick gleam appeared in my eyes.
"How much did you guys buy it for?" I asked him.
Jonah said, "We bought it for 5,000 mid-grade mana stones."
Hearing that, my heart set off storms. However, I didn’t show any reaction on the outside. I was surprised that they had bought it for such a cheap price.
I took a few seconds to collect my thoughts.
"Okay, I’ll buy it. But I can only pay an extra 500 mid-grade mana stones," I said to Jonah.
Jonah understood. He didn’t want the shop owner to take a loss either; otherwise, they wouldn’t be able to do good business next ti.
"Okay," Jonah agreed.
Hearing that, I nodded and took 5,500 mid-grade mana stones from my storage bracelet. Then I gave the small pouch to him.
Jonah accepted the pouch. He checked it and confird the amount. He then thanked before standing up. He handed over the crystal ball before leaving.
Once he left the place, I picked up the ball. My mouth curved into an arc. It was a bargain. Anything related to outer space is no ordinary item.
Then, I placed the crystal object inside the system space.
...
Tulip City — Auction House
Roderick, the owner of the auction house, heard the news. He was happy. He had been waiting for the person to co back. Now that he had confird the news, he didn’t want to waste any ti.
He imdiately contacted the Wizard Families and inford them about the appraisal shop.
The families wanted to confirm the news themselves first. Roderick agreed. Then he phoned Magic Lord Scott of the Fla Elental Tower.
Magic Lord Scott was available, so he took the call. When he learned about the appraisal shop, he was surprised. He didn’t expect the ti to take action to co so soon. He had to follow the orders of Lord Callum.
"When are you going to take action?" Scott asked.
"I have inford the other families. They will send their Magic Lords after confirming the news," Roderick replied.
"Good, then tell when everyone has gathered," Scott said before ending the call.
Roderick sighed in relief. He had convinced everyone. Now he had to wait for everyone to gather. Then, he would go to Crystal City.
