Taking a deep breath, I looked down at the table laden with items, before turning to see the few asly Silvers that I managed to retain after spending almost everything.
The forr, almost broke woman inside wanted to cry out at the sight of so much money being spent in a single day, but I knew that now was not the ti to be pinching every single last Copper that I had; whatever I needed, I needed to buy now.
Which, I did... even as my heart bled at the amount of coin spent...
Sighing, I picked up the map and unfurled it once again, deciding to take the ti to study it for just a little longer as I took stock of my newly purchased supplies.
The first leg of the journey - from here to the tip of Nevrokopi State - will be a straight shot up the road that connected the entirety of the State together, so I don't need much for that segnt.
Next would be the journey through what looks to be a chilled forested area that was officially apart of so kind of confederacy of various tribes, though that ant little in the grand sche of things.
For that part of my journey, I would need to be careful as I managed my rations and such, since there were no recorded cities inside the forest.
Finally, I would reach the Wekalian Steppes, where I would need to make a stop at one of the various cities to restock and prepare for the journey into the savannah and the Sultanate.
As such, I had bought a few things, and I needed to hope that these would be enough for going forwards.
A new dagger was a priority, and I bought myself another heavy blade, so that I could have a pair of 'spikes' to use to help climb out of, or up any kind of cliffs.
So new armor and clothes that would retain heat; for the mont, the journey up to the Wekalian Steppes would be a cold one, with the desert patches underneath the Steppes being a potential exception to that theory.
Replacing my old, tattered leathers was a must, as was getting a pair of comfortable boots for this journey.
I needed to enchant them all so that I could improve my chances, but for now they were good enough.
Next was a small satchel that I filled with the potions an Alchemist sold ; so healing potions, stamina potions, mana potions, tabolism boosters, and sothing the Alchemist called 'liquid nutrition'.
eaglesnovɐ1,сoМ That was a potion filled with various ingredients to act as a sort of 'foodstuff' for to reenergize myself, and I wouldn't be lying if I said I was suspicious, but I bought it anyways.
If it worked, that could very well save a good bit of ti as I traveled.
Then ca the common supplies that cost little, but would be nice to have during my travels.
A spool of rope, so flint and steel, a lantern fitted with a small mana crystal, dried ats, so salt, two waterskins...
Anything that I could think of, I made sure to grab, while also making sure I didn't over encumber myself.
As it stood, everything I had fit inside my pack or in a pouch of its own, which I could strap to any part of my body.
Looking over the table, I nodded to myself before rolling the map back up and sliding it into the leather tube I bought to protect it.
Sure I had morized a good portion of the maps outline, but I wanted to keep the map safe for as long as I possibly could, just so I would always have an idea on where I was and where I should be going.
Next I made sure to pack away the other items into my pack, securing them all and making sure that when I wore it, I wouldn't be having the straps digging to deeply into my shoulders, nor having so items poking and prodding at my back.
When that was done, I placed my pack on a chair before sitting down at the table, staring at the new armor and clothes I had purchased for myself.
The clothing was a simple pair of black pants and a black shirt, and I grabbed them first.
Closing my eyes, I began to channel my mana into them as I placed so basic enchantnts on the cloth; physical resistance, cleanliness, and a minor repairing enchantnt.
With that, the clothes would hopefully last until the Steppes.
Turning to the armor, I scanned it before focusing on a piece at a ti; the entire set was made from hardened leather, and it had been stained grey.
Starting with the cuirass, I decided to replicate my shield spell on its front, while also putting the sa minor enchantnts on it like I did the clothes.
Next, I lifted the two shoulder pads and added the minor enchantnts to those, keeping it simple for the mont.
With the single gauntlet I bought, I duplicated the shield spell once more before adding a basic bullet spell to the palm.
The battle skirt was kept simple as well, but I added so speed spells onto the grieves, wanting to connect them to the boots.
Finally, getting to said boots, I added a quieting spell and speed spell as well, before leaning back into my chair and wiping away the sweat from the amount I mana I just used.
Getting up, I laid the new armor and clothes out before stripping out of my old, tattered clothing and armor, placing them on the side as I plopped onto my bed, nude.
Wiping away the gri from today, I sighed as my hands returned to their usual spots, my mind dipping into that fog that wanted to envelope as I lost myself to 'self care', all while images of a blue skinned Demoness grinned haughtily above , enjoying the show.
