>Head to the merchant named Alex, and buy a set of dowsing rods before setting up a tent for the night.
Ho! A new face! Of course, I see new people every single day. And some not-people, if you get my gist?The person who greeted Zario was a woman with a strong-looking face, in which were set a pair of sparkling eyes like that of a wild animal. She had wide shoulders and was muscular. Her hair was brushed anywhichway, and fell naturally past her collarbones.
"So... I'd like to buy some sketching paper, a folder, and dowsing rods. Tell me, why would you need dowsing rods next to the ocean?"
Alexina looked at Zario queerly, a look which Zario had been receiving much the past few days.
Are you really an archaeologist? Why do you need a dowsing rod, you ask. Of course you need dowsing rods! You may have only seen fake dowsing rods in the old continent. These are real, genuine, magical and mass produced rods! Some people, 'specially the people who made 'em, call them 'L rods'. They respond to hidden ruins, not water, and actually work! If you don't have a pair of L rods on you, you would walk straight through a couple hundred ruins before you met an already exposed one! She handed Zario a bundle of 20 sketching paper and drawing tools, a dowsing rod and a folder for 1400 gold.
In Zario's dream, a shrouded figure told him in resounding tones, 'Why do you not seek me?'
'I betted on you...'
'Bring me back ...!'
And then he elapsed into a regular dream.
He remembered the first and last lines when he woke up to a sunny sky.
Donitz headed to the bustling town square. He bought a potion condenser. It was a machine that used three potions of the same type and one magical reagent to create one potion. If Donitz used a base potion as the reagent, the merchant said, he would create a higher-powered potion. Of course, drinking a 30x3->1 potion would cause quicker potion poisoning than one 100 potion. It was bought for 14000 gold. He also bought three mist bombs. They would cause a thick cloud to form, about 10 meters in radius, if he broke one. They cost 9000 gold for three.
He also bought a bag of scribing tools: they purportedly made his composed music more potent, and also would inform him of the type and duration of the effect of magical music. 5000 gold.
Meanwhile, the suit was a bit harder to obtain. Because most people had little use for formal clothing, the suit industry became tailored for nobles and rich men, using ever more expensive materials and more handiwork. The cheapest suit available was 110000 gold, way over his budget.
Eosri tries not to frown at how costly the armor is, even though he's always had the memories of the prices.
"Mellis, do you have any metal around so that I can make armor for less cost?"
Of course, Eosri. I can sell you iron bars and leather material, and also lend you my blueprints. The Memorial Tower will supply the skill. I ask only thirty thousand (30000) gold pieces in return.
