Raydon wasn't surprised by the price of the glove, but he was taken aback by the price of the robe. Even the Green-Grade bracelet he recently purchased was worth around 1000 gold. Although the item's price was decreased by having an HP cost, the difference was still very big.
Even though Raydon was pleased with the prices being offered, he still turned to look at Belicia to be certain. When he turned around and saw Belicia staring at him with a gaping mouth and shocked eyes, he abandoned the idea of asking her opinion.
The man must have assumed Belicia's reaction was due to the price of the item, he said as he chuckled. ''I suppose you underpay your maid. I've never seen a battle maid so taken aback by a Green-Grade item.''
If the man had known Raydon was a useless cripple until now, but had recently awoken as an item holder and won all the items he is now trying to sell in the first match he participated in, his expression would be similar to Belicia's.
But, as they say, ignorance is bliss, so he just looked at Belicia with pitying eyes, not knowing the truth.
''So, are you selling or not?'' he asked, his gaze returning to Raydon.
''Yeah, 8000 gold coins, right? I'm selling.'' Raydon agreed right away. Even to him, who lacked common sense in this world, this sum seemed quite large.
After taking the items and handing over the gold coins to Raydon, the man asked again in a bored tone.
ραпdα Йᴏνê|(сòm) ''So, anything else? ''
Raydon's total number of gold coins had risen to 8583. He paused for a moment to consider whether that many gold coins would suffice, and his conclusion was negative.
He began to consider what else he could sell. He had a crossbow but didn't want to sell it just yet. Even if he didn't bind the item and use its skill, the crossbow was his only long-distance attack option and could be extremely useful.
Then he remembered the short sword, which was also the only thing he could actually use as a weapon at the moment.
While considering what to sell, he remembered something he had forgotten about. ''What do you think about this one? ''
Raydon reached into his dimensional storage and pulled out a bark before handing it to the man.
At first, the man appeared perplexed, but soon his eyes lit up. The thing Raydon was attempting to sell had finally surprised him a little.
[Bark skin]
-Grade: Green
-Quality: N/A
-Skill: Body Enchantment
increases durability by 10% by hardening the wearer's skin like a tree bark.
'Body enchantment? And it's green-grade. This is quite rare, ' he muttered.
Eyeing Raydon, the man thought. 'This is not a crafted item. Only by killing the region bosses can you have a chance to acquire body enchantments. This young man is not bad at all if he really killed a region boss and obtained this. '
The way Raydon carried himself and his demeanor gave the man the impression that he was a formidable young man. But still, even if he was a young master from a big family, he had little chance of killing the region boss unless he had a team of extremely skilled teammates.
''What rank are you? '' The man asked curiously.
Normally, it would be extremely hostile for one item holder to ask another item holder this question, but Raydon didn't mind. Because he knew the man in front of him had the ability to kill him in seconds if he so desired.
''F-Rank,'' Raydon said calmly. He considered removing the glove and showing it directly, but decided against it when he remembered that his level was still 1 due to his title.
'So he actually defeated the region boss in an F-Rank match, huh? ' With his hand resting on his chin, the man murmured.
"Indeed, body enchantment is a hard-to-find item. This is a body enchantment that boosts defense, but because it's a plant-type, it also has the hidden attribute of boosting the body's regeneration rate. However, as with most body enchantments, there is a drawback. It hardens the skin and shapes it like tree bark, reducing the person's movement speed significantly. The sensation of touching will also be lessened. '' The man finished his sentence while lowering his gaze to Raydon's waist.
Radon swallowed. Hearing these words, his face showed relief at not using this item right away.
Looking at Raydon's response, the man continued. ''I assume you won't be using it. Although it is beneficial for those with high stamina and agility stats, not many people desire this item. Nevertheless, I can still pay you 14000 gold coins for it.''
Raydon agreed as soon as he heard the price. He understood how difficult it was to find body enchantments, but all he could do now was increase his stamina due to his title, and any further restriction on his current movement speed would undoubtedly affect him negatively.
''Well, I hope that was the last one.''
"Yeah, thanks for your time," Raydon said with satisfaction, dropping the last few gold coins into his dimensional storage.
His total gold now stood at 22583, and he believed that would be sufficient. Raydon also didn't want to push his luck any further because the man appeared irritated. He could come back later if he wanted to sell something else.
"All right, you can leave now." The man said, gesturing with his hand toward the door.
Raydon and Belicia bowed slightly and exited the shop. As they walked out of the store, the man squinted.
''One of the families apparently produced yet another genius. This year's rift competition seems to be shaping up to be quite thrilling. '' He chuckled.
The man spoke authoritatively, his eyes fixed on a dark spot in the corner. ''Go find out which family he is from. Don't forget to forward my message to them as well. I, Fang the Butcher, would like to support this young man in the upcoming competition. ''
Unexpectedly, the darkness Fang was looking at transformed into a silhouette of a person dressed entirely in black. This person responded by kneeling on one knee.
'' Yes sir.''
Then he vanished into the darkness again, as if he had never been there.
