Mask/ Alchemist Shop

Once again we checked the spider lair and then we found nothing except broken weapons and armor. After that, I said," Draco there is nothing valuable left in the cave. Let's go return to the adventurer village".

In half an hour we were back to adventurer village. Along the way, we met monsters but we killed them with ease.

Today the adventurer village was crowded and many people were talking about the monster tide.

I perked my ears and listened," damm how can so many monsters run like this. I was almost killed by them".

Another adventurer said," I almost was trampled to death if not for my friend who pulled me back at a critical time".

One of the adventurers said," do you see, these monsters are now returning to where they were".

Another adventurer said," I feel something strange about it".

They kept on chatting while I went on listening. Then I said to Draco through my mind," Draco we can't head inside the adventurer guild like this, or else people would become suspicious about us".

Draco said," then what shall we do?".

I said," let's go to the tailor shop and see if we can buy a mask. Also will there be any problem if they see you".

Draco thought for a while and said," I think so too. So let's directly challenge the guardian boss after we leave the village".

I nodded my head and then I said," Draco, give me ten pieces of Spider egg".

Draco handed it over to me and then I said," when I will do business with the alchemist at that time you don't tell him anything about it. So that if it is a rare ingredient like you said then we can increase its value by a large amount".

Draco said," okay Jack. But remember to give me my share".

I said," of course".

Then we went inside a tailor shop and the women greeted us and asked," strangers what do you want to buy in our shop?".

I replied," a mask to cover my face".

The woman said," there is no mask but a small piece of black cloth made from ghost silkworm. You can buy it to cover your face. It will also keep your identity hidden to a certain extent".

I then asked," is the material of the cloth durable and comfortable".

The woman replied," of course, you can try it", saying so she handed me a piece of white cloth that was tied around my face. I just needed a hat to look like a cowboy.

I looked in the mirror and saw that my appearance had become a little more handsome.

Seeing this I nodded my head and then I asked," tell me about its advantages and disadvantages".

The woman replied," there are many advantages such as you don't need to clean these clothes as they will not get dirty and wet. The ghost silkworm is too tough and elastic. So it makes then too hard to break it unless you are facing someone very high level. Also even if there is damage to it. Due to the properties of ghost-like energy, it repairs itself.

The only disadvantage is that you need to protect it from being burnt. Except for fire damage, this material is resistant to most of the elements".

I then asked," what is the cost price of the material beautiful miss?".

The woman was stunned after listening to the young man's words and then she smiled and said," since you have a good mouth then I will give you a 50% discount. So pay me 5 gold shells".

My eyes twitched and felt that I was being robbed but then I sighed and gave her the gold shells and then I covered my face with them.

Draco said," Jack now that you have covered your face, should I wait for you here".

I said," it's okay Draco, I can ask the receptionist to take us to a separate room. There we will hand over the quest and also flee away. But before let's go and check the alchemist's shop".

Draco said," fine".

Then we both walked towards the alchemist shop.

After entering the shop we found an old man was making doing alchemy. Seeing this we wanted for ten minutes and then the old man said," you are a good lad. Unlike you, other people your age are more impatient".

I replied modestly," where sir? I also don't like to be distracted when I am concentrating on any work".

The old man laughed and said," okay lad what did you come to buy in my shop?".

I replied," old man I want to ask you a question? Do you buy rare ingredients?".

The old man had a surprised expression and then he said," do you have a rare ingredient? I want to see it and then I will tell you about its cost?".

I then took out a spider egg and gave it to the old man. He picked it up and began to inspect it. A minute later he said," this spider egg was laid by the spider queen. And the spider was a high-level monster. I don't know how did you kill it?".

I replied," you don't need to know about it old man. Tell me how much will you pay for it".

The old man said to himself," one spider egg was enough to make 30 medium-grade dexterity potions. I medium grade potion cost 1 gold shell minimum. That is 30 gold shells. So I will give him 10 gold shells my price".

I saw the old man was quiet for a while and then he said," ten gold shells".

Draco who was sitting on my shoulder almost trembled in excitement while I said," twenty-five gold shells".

The old screamed and said," no way, fifteen gold shells".

I said," old man let's both take a step back and sell it for 20 gold shells to us".

The old man had an angry look but seeing that his intimidation didn't work on the boy. So he sighed and said," how much do you want to sell".

I laughed and asked," old man how many do you want to buy".

The old man stroked his white beard and said," boy I will but as many as you have".
