Early in the morning, Richard could be seen sitting in the backyard, currently reading the newspaper.
Yes, newspapers exist in this world.
The news is collected within a local vicinity and printed through a special magical tool, and that newspaper is sold for ten copper coins. The news, which contains information and current affairs regarding the whole continent, takes five silver coins to buy. Reason for a higher price? The information from all over the place is collected through soul spirit.
Soul Summoning is a type of ritual where one calls forth their own spirit beast from the Aembr-plane.
When Richard would start taking classes, he would also go through the ritual to summon his own spirit beast.
"Young master, good morning." The slightly indifferent voice of the blue-haired maid named Violet reached him as, without looking at her, Richard hummed in response.
