There was also the problem of having the narrow area in the subterranean world which would not exactly be a place to shoot bullets in the worry that you might end up hurting your teammates.

There was also the problem of the sound produced by the gun which may attract unwanted predators hiding in the dark.

"Ok, so you want a crossbow and a 100 resonance arrows, is that all or would you like to add something more to the list," Croc asked.

"Also, customise the crossbow in such a way that it can be folded inwardly and be strapped on my arm without any problems, also I want it to be painted with the paint mixed with Night Bat blood to make it more concealed" Wade gave his order.

"It's not hard to customize it how you want, but to have it painted with Night bat blood would make the order slightly more problematic and thus require time" Croc said.

"Tell the maker that if he can complete the product and deliver it to my room before 6 a.m. tomorrow, he would be given 2 magic crystals as remuneration, also add two short enchanted daggers to the list" Wade said after some thought.

He had thought of buying daggers was if he needed to skin the beasts in the subterranean world it would be quite awkward to ask for someone else.

"If you are willing to pay extra 2 magic crystals than obviously this job will be done before 6 a.m. tomorrow without any problem. As for the total cost of all this comes to 100 magic crystals, don't ask me for a discount as I have already given it to you by rounding up the price to 100" Croc said with a serious face

"I know, did you even see me ask" saying so Wade handed over another 100 magic crystals.

Taking the magic crystals Croc gave them a single glance to know whether they were right amount or not before saying, "Everything will be delivered together tomorrow morning directly to your room"

" Goodbye and hope to meet you in some years" Wade bade farewell

"Goodbye" Croc said

....

After giving his order Wade went to the administration area to fill in for the reason of his leave to the subterranean world.

Fred ha said that it was not necessarily compulsory for the apprentices to inform the academy where they were going but it was better for the academy to be informed, after all by chance he was in danger and needed him to send his blood contracted partner crow to the academy, it would be easier for them to find him.

When there were few people around, Wife took the opportunity to quickly head up to the counter. He took out his crystal ball as well a the letter given to him by Fred.

"What kind of help do you require?" The reception was a very skinny old man and seemed extremely amiable.

"I have taken up a post in the subterranean world an would be going there on tomorrow's airship, so I would like to inform the Academy in advance. My name is Wade, apprentice of Professor Fred." Wade said in a low voice.

The old fellow hurriedly looked up and after giving a smile he took the letter and the crystal ball for authentication.

Seeing that the results were positive he installed Wade's information according to the letter and said with a smile "It has been done!"

"The subterranean world has a huge area, and many places are dangerous. Do you want to buy a map?" The old man smiled like a crafty merchant.

"Give me a map!" Although Wade had a map of his own, it was given by Sam but it was always good to have another for comparison.

After spending two Magic Crystals, Wade obtained a brand new map. Not only were the various danger zones marked but there was even a green line to mark safe routes for exploration.

After this he went to his room. Pushing his room's door open and seeing the familiar setup, Wade suddenly felt a little regretful.

"I wonder when I'll be able to return back here."

The crystal ball with spell and ingredients that he bought today were all lying neatly in a corner, filling up one big chest.

After brooding for a while, Wade moved towards his cupboard and opened it to reveal a locker inside.

"Immortality!" Wade gently said and scanned his fingerprint at the same time.

*Ka-cha!* There was a mechanical noise, and the locker opened slowly to reveal many potions stored in test tubes.

The amount here was at least 10 times more than what he gave to Freya!

If Croc saw this, his eyes might even pop out.

Wade smiled, his was his private potions collection. With Abby's help, his success rate has long surpassed what could be expected of others. He had sold a small portion of them, but the bulk of them remained here.

"Let me count! 20 basic Curse cure Potions, 15 Poison Antidotes, 18 Hemostasis Potions, and an assortment of other potions, their total value would be at least 4000 Magic Crystals!"

Wade looked at these potions. They were his greatest asset and had always been locked away.

There was a spell used to secure them, a little magic trick that all Rank 2 apprentice knew.

Apart from the owner using their Spirit to open it, any means of forcing it open would only cause the items locked inside to self-destruct!

The fingerprint and the voice checker where the effect from the locker itself.

"Now, with the chests of weapons and the other ingredients acting as the premise, I can move these potions out with very little inconvenience. I will also have to draw some runes on the outside for concealment."

Wade opened a small box that was covered in runes. Sponges, silk and other such materials were placed inside to prevent the potions from rolling and being ruined.

After spending almost half the night, Wade finally managed to move all the potions into the box. He then covered the box with some ingredients around it.
