"This, a candy machine?"
As Alex was about to grab the handle of the wooden door, ready to exit this mysterious place before continuing his postponed cultivation, the ominous figure of two machines on the far corner of the shop suddenly caught his attention, making him halt in his tracks as he sized them up and down, quite curious about why a potion master would suddenly place an old yet ominous item within his shop.
Furthermore, it was quite far from the entrance of the shop, making it hard to be noticed by those who entered this place.
"If he wanted to sell candies, he should place them outside the shop...'
The teenager instinctively thought before unconsciously approaching the machines in the far distance.
In an instant, upon closing his distance toward the old items, the machine's old and rotting bark, slowly being consumed by dark and green moss, entered his sight.
