Volume 9 Chapter 6: At Least One Of Them She Didn’t Need To Worry About
Three were found; it was time for him to search for the others. What should I get for Laura and Alvin? As they walked, he wondered what to get. Scarlet asked, "What does your second brother like?"
"He's more of a mage." Out of the six siblings, he had the highest magic aptitude. When Scarlet heard that, "How about you head to that store?"
"Eh? What store?" "Follow us," The two grabbed his hand, bringing the boy to a store.
"What's this?"
"It's a store that sells wands and staffs to mages. How about you get something like that for him?" Staffs and wands were great tools for mages as they could help channel mana better, reducing the cast time. It could also increase the magic power if you have the correct stone.
"What brings the two of you here?" There was a lady at the desk.
"Window shopping, Hazel," Scarlet greeted the woman before pointing, "He's the one buying things."
Keith greeted, "Hello, I would like to buy a staff?"
"Hmm?" Hazel glanced at Keith repeatedly, "You don't seem like a mage type." With one look, anyone could tell the boy was a fighter type.
"No, this is for my brother."
"I see. What kind of magic does your brother use?"
"Hmm, his primary elements should be earth and lightning." While Keith was talking about this,
"Wait a moment, are you from House Freed?" Keith tilted his head, "Yes, I'm from House Freed?" He was slightly startled that his family name was brought up.
"...Do you know of a person named Alvin Freed?"
"...Yes, he's my older brother."
Thud!
"How is he?! What is he doing right now?! Does he need help!" Hazel started to blast Keith with so many questions! That caused Faelyn to get before him,
"Calm down."
"I need to know!" Hazel's eyes were bloodshot. It was pretty frightening.
"Umm, he's fine. He's doing some work at home." Eric and Alvin assisted William with his work.
"That's great," Hazel took a deep sigh.
"Do you know my brother?"
"Umm," Hazel looked embarrassed, "Well, we were classmates in the same grade. And he helped me out a lot. But I lost contact with him once he graduated."
"..." Those three paused before they glanced at one another.
"So you're buying a staff for him? Then you don't need to worry about anything. Take a look at this!" Hazel quickly took something out, "It's a staff that can boost earth, lightning, and even water magic! Not only that but it's made from ember cedar, which is also great for fire magic!"
"..." Why do you look so proud? Scarlet and Faelyn stared at the girl while Keith was profoundly thinking.
"Does he need so much?" Faelyn questioned.
"This is the perfect staff for Alvin. His main elements are earth, lightning, water, and fire. He's quite litterally a genius." Hazel explained with a bright expression.
"Your brother is a monster," Scarlet chuckled. The ability to use four elements. Yeah, that earned him monster status.
"Hey, I learned from him." Keith grinned.
"How much is it?"
"For you, only one platinum coin."
"What?!" "Why is it so cheap?!" Faelyn and Scarlet retorted. There was definitely something wrong. This was definitely one mithril coin, at the least!
"I'm the one who crafted this staff, so I can put a price on this," Hazel looked around before she got close to Keith, "But please put in a good word for me to Alvin."
"..." Ah. Keith smiled, "There's no need to worry. I will tell Alvin about this,"
"Really! Thanks!" Hazel continued to beam.
"My mother had been worried about the two not getting married. But it seems she doesn't need to worry about one," Keith grinned deviously. Eric and Alvin had been pestered by Sophia to get married. She was worried about those two.
"..." Hazel's cheeks turned red.
"Also, do you also sell any practice wands or staff?"
"Hmm?"
"This one would be for my little sister."
"Does she have a preferred element?" Most staff has been made with a wood or metal that conducts well with a particular element.
"No, she doesn't have an element," Laura practiced magic. But she was going at a slow pace.
"Then how about something like this?" Hazel brought a light crimson wand, "This is made from a wood that's good for beginners."
"Then I'll take it." But Faelyn noticed his look, "What's with your expression?" Though he had bought something for the two, he didn't feel it was enough.
"I want to get something more for Laura and Leon." Just a sword and a wand weren't enough for him.
"Umm, how about these?" Hazel then took some things out. There was an assortment of items right here.
"What are these?"
"They're storage equipment. They only cost 5 gold coins each as well."
"What?!"
"That's insane!"
Storage rings were difficult to find. So, what was the catch to this? There was no way it was this cheap. Hazel scratched his head, "The size of these are about the size of a small drawer."
"…" Ahh. The others realized it. Large pocket space items were more useful as they could store stuff in them. But this was not useful as it could only store small things.
"Oh, this is perfect!" Keith clapped,
"You sure?"
"Mmhmm. I don't think Laura and Leon need to bring much since she is still a child. But I think this would be good when storing smaller things." It was perfect for kids. I should get one for Leon as well. They could store some clothes in it for emergencies.
For starters, Keith looked around and found an interesting bunny bag, "How much does that store?"
"That young man can store 2 drawers worth of things."
"Can you add a small strap to it?"
"No problem!"
"Then I will take that." Keith then looked around, "What about that?" He noticed a wristband with a small jewel in it,
"That is one drawer."
"Then I'll take it."
"How about you buy these accessories for the lovely ladies?"
"We don-" "Sure, which ones do you guys want?"
"Keith, it's-" "It's cool. It's just a small gift. You guys can store some small things in it if you like."
"…Then I will take the bracelet over there." Faelyn pointed.
"That ear cuff for me," Scarlet grinned.
"Understood!" Hazel nodded. Her expression brightened; she thought for sure no one would buy this.
"Also, do you sell regular storage rings?"
"We do?"
"You need that as well?" Last time they checked, Keith had storage, plus he had the belt and a ring.
"This one would be for someone else." Keith grinned.
"Sure."
"Because you have bought so much, I will take out one ring! The total is 3 platinum and 2 gold coins."
"Here!" Keith smiled as he handed it off.
The three left with content looks. As they continued to walk, "Do you guys want to buy anything for your parents?"
"Hmm?" "I don't think they would care," Scarlet scratched her head.
"Come on, I think they would like it. It's the thought that counts,"
"Hmm, then I should buy some new clothes." Faelyn thought about it.
"I'm thinking about a nice tie," Scarlet and Faelyn were thinking long and hard about this. While that happened, Keith also needed to think about his plans. It took them the whole day to buy everything they wanted.
