Chapter 263: Fun Shopping (1)

The “Dragon’s Breath Armor Store” that Tauro visited had a great selection of goods, just as he had heard.

It’s a 3-story building, with a lot of armor and clothes on the 1st floor, various weapons on the 2nd floor, and staffs and processed magic stones on the 3rd floor.

After checking the bulletin board, Tauro’s purpose was to buy armor for himself, but since he was also making weapons for Aeris and his other friends, he was intrigued by other things as well.

Tauro changed his plans a little and went up to the third floor to visit all the floors.

He decided to look at his own armor last, so he decided to look down from the top.

“The third floor is a jewel box of wands and magic stones~♪”

Tauro praised the scene spread out before him, saying a phrase he had heard somewhere before.

In a glass case, there are a variety of colorful magic stones, magic tools made from them for different purposes, and wands of various shapes and sizes made from all kinds of materials and magic stones.

There were various types of customers: some dressed like mages looking at the products, housewives buying magic tools necessary for daily life, and people dressed as warriors who came to sell magic stones.

“This floor seems to have the most customers.”

Tauro joined the customers and looked at the products.

I tried to confirm the value while using 『True Eye』, but unlike in the royal capital, the value and selling price were almost the same.

I am sure that the purchase price is originally lower than in the Royal Capital and other places.

The price was reasonable.

“Oh? Are you Tauro-dono? Thank you very much. Please let me know if there is anything you would like to buy.”

A man working at the store noticed Tauro, a rare ethnicity, and called out to him.

“Yes, thank you.”

Tauro bowed and walked through the items one by one.

I can’t help but look at the products on display and compare them to the wand I made for Aeris.

Ragune also mentioned before that research on magic circles hasn’t made much progress even among the dragon people.

The wands lined up in the store are all equipped with a mechanism to attach a processed magic stone to the wand for the purpose of increasing the user’s magic power or to enable the use of fixed magic. I can’t find any with a mechanism that incorporates a magic circle that draws out the original power of the magic stone.

However, there are a variety of magical tools, many of which are not found even in the Royal Capital

What made Tauro happy was the fact that there were also rare and difficult-to-find unprocessed magic stones.

In front of Tauro’s brightly shining eyes, there was a small, light blue-colored magic stone in a special glass case.

The description of the item read, “Water Dragon’s magic Stone *Please ask the clerk about the price.

Tauro had “true eyes” without bothering to check with the store clerk.

However, when I tried to check the price, I found that it was blocked from being appraised and could not be appraised.

“Is it a magic stone with appraisal inhibition? This seems to be quite valuable.”

As Tauro spoke to himself, the store clerk suddenly appeared beside him.

“This is a rare magic stone. In fact, this stone was brought back from a dungeon several decades ago by a group of conquerors, and its price is 30 platinum coins (about 300 million yen).”

The clerk secretly whispered into Tauro’s ear.

“……30! …… That’s also outrageous. It’s true that it’s small, but the magic power contained within it seems to be amazing. …… It would be interesting to attach it to Aeris’s wand,……, but It’s really expensive.”

“Ha-ha-ha! This product is one of the highlights of this store! I heard that the dungeon capture team had to struggle quite a bit to get it, so the price is also because of its preciousness. It’s no wonder you can’t buy it.”

The clerk consoled the disappointed Tauro.

‘No, I could buy them if I wanted to, but I thought my friend wouldn’t like it at this price. ……”

With a wry smile, Tauro pulled out a bag containing a lot of platinum coins from his magic storage.

“Eh!”

The clerk gulps and freezes, his eyes wide with breath in front of the large amount of gold in front of him.

Tauro was now secretly a very wealthy man thanks to the sales of his numerous magic tools.

But Tauro didn’t spend much money.

He never knew when a situation would arise where he would need a large sum of money, like he had with Aeris before.

Tauro’s thinking was that there was no harm in saving up, and as a result, the money just kept accumulating.

“Oh yes, may I see the other magic stones?”

Tauro thought of something, and with the store clerk’s explanation, he bought some of the more expensive magic stones.
