He goes back into the store to meet the two girls and the store's owner.
"Sorry for that"
"No, no, thank you for your help"
"No problem. Anyway, you know these girls?"
"Ah, Musha, Misha, how you get into the town?"
The store's owner is a cat-kin, she used a bottle of potion of illusion to make her appearance looks like a human. But, since Arlan has the dragon eye from the White Dragon Gods, he could see through the illusion. In fact, all the information of the store's owner could be seen.
"W-we're fine, um... We're looking for aunt Saya"
"It is me, Saya, oh, sorry, I'm on illusion. How about now?"
"Ah, aunt Saya! How?"
"Aunt Saya! Lift me! Lift me!"
"Well, human hate beastfolk, so I had to use illusion. Misha, alright, I will lift you"
"Ah, that's right"
"Anyway, what is your business visiting me? You can get in to the town without problem?"
"Yes, Arlan helped us"
"Big brother Arlan is amazing! He saved us!"
While lifted by Saya, the store's owner, the girl's relative, Misha keep praising Arlan. She's cute.
"Are they allowed inside the town?"
"Yes, we're using the 'trick'"
"Ah, the 'trick', is it? Good then"
"Eh, so aunt Saya knew the 'trick'?"
"Well of course, without the 'trick', beastfolk will be hard to get inside the town"
After a small greeting, Musha started her story about the illness that spread in the tribe. While hearing their talking, Arlan looking around the store to find the specific herb, needed for the medicine. With his appraisal ability, he found the herb easily.
"Is that Dengue Fever? I heard it once, but I never really know how to make the medicine for it"
As Saya said, she doesn't know how to treat this illness.
"Don't worry, I know how to treat them, can you bring me Rasta Grass, Honey, Bone Powder, and some water please"
"Oh sure, wait a sec"
While waiting, Arlan prepare the equipment for brewing potion. Since he got permission to use the store's equipment, he quickly took the equipment
"Here, what is all this for?"
"We are going to use the Rasta Grass for the fever, while adding honey for nutrition and sweet after taste, while the bone powder will be mixed up with this golden flower that I accidentally came across"
"Are you by any mean, an Apothecary?"
"No, I'm not, it just what I learned from my past"
*You Acquired New Skill: [Alchemist (Passive, Level 7{54%})]!
[Alchemist (Passive, Level 7{54%})]
Current level will increase the potion effectiveness by 14%.
It seems like the EXP that I got from just brewed 1 potion depend on the potion. So he thought.
"And give a little Mana, the potion is done"
"Oh, that fast? Let me have a look. This is indeed a good potion; can this cure their illness?"
"Yes, I guarantee it. Since there are a lot of ingredients for it, I can make more than needed, shall we start the production?"
���Alright, teach me the recipe, so I can help too"
"Sure"
"Big brother! Big brother! Misha want to help too~!"
"Misha, don't bothering Arlan and aunt Saya"
"It's fine Musha. Misha, help me with the grass, okay?"
"Okay, big brother!"
Misha sits beside Arlan and starts to clean the grass from dirt. Musha starts helping her aunt, Saya, to prepare more ingredients. And, after a full day without rest, they managed to get 30 bottles of potion. A bottle of potion is enough for 20 people as long as it divided evenly. Since they still need a lot of potion, Saya will keep making the potion meanwhile Arlan planning on sightseeing in the Town.
The next morning, after making potion all night long, his skill on [Alchemist] advancing to level 47 just by brewing dozens of potions and acquired a title of [Hard Worker] and [Brew Master]. The potion effectiveness is now 59% better. It could cure the illness faster than 7 days.
"Big brother! Can Misha come along?"
"Sure, as long as Musha and aunt Saya allowed it"
"If it with Arlan, I can rest assure"
"If Musha said so, I guess I trust you then"
"Yay! Thank you, Sis, thank you aunt Saya!"
Arlan held Misha hand as he about to go outside the store. The troublemaker from before already leave since their weapon is in Arlan's storage, so they couldn't do anything. Checking the map, he chooses where to go. Since this town doesn't have Adventurer Registration office, he can't become adventurer at the moment but he still can get a personal request if someone willing to ask for his help. But right now, he cannot stay too long in this town as he's going to escort Misha and her sister back to their tribe.
"Now, where do we go? Misha, do you want to go to the market?"
"Yes! Misha will follow big brother!"
"Alright, let's go"
Arlan and the little girl go to the market. Rustle hustle fill the market in the morning. With various stuff that being sell by various merchant, the market is unbelievably noisy. Some peddler haggling items, merchants try to sell their stuff by offering their goods.
"Meat! Big brother! I smell some meat!"
"Are you hungry, Misha? Let's do food tasting!"
"Yay!"
Arlan leads Misha to some merchant that selling food nearby.
"Welcome dear customer! Would you like to buy some Fried Bat Wings?"
"Oh, how much is it?"
"Only 2 pennies per wing"
As Arlan appraise the wing, the price fit with the merchant said.
"Give me 4. Here, 8 pennies"
"Thank you"
"Here Misha, let's snack while sightseeing"
"Bat wing! Hehehe"
Turn out, Misha loves the bat wing. After a few minutes walking and food tasting while buying the food for Musha and Saya too, Arlan was stopped by someone.
"Hoo. What a cute little slave that you got there. Will you sell her to me, commoner?"
"Hmm? Sorry, she's not for sale"
"What!? You don't know who I 'am!?"
"Don't know, don't care. Let's go Misha"
As Arlan about to leave the man, the mercenaries, not guard, that following the man, stopping Arlan from leaving.
"What is this mean? Want to get beaten?"
"Huh? Beaten? By a mere commoner? What a joke!"
"This commoner! For being commoner but have a cute little slave, if you want to—"
Before one of the mercenaries finish his sentence, Arlan beat him, not just him, all the mercenaries around him already get beaten. In the blink of an eye, 4 mercenaries got beaten down by a single commoner.
"Wha-what the hell just happened!? You! What did you d—"
"If you want to seek trouble, stop using other people as a shield, do it yourself, shitty noble"
Arlan grabs the noble's nape as he talks to the noble. With some deadly stare and threat, the noble falls down, unable to open his mouth. As soon as Arlan releases his hand from the noble's nape, the noble's pant suddenly wet.
Since Arlan not going to stay in this town for long, he doesn't care about future trouble in the town. With his current life, he can defend himself no problem.
"Let's leave, Misha"
"Yes! Big brother!"
Both of them left the market and continue sightseeing in the town. Misha doesn't show any fear as she calmly and obediently following Arlan.
Arlan knew how those nobles act in his previous life. They only care about themself, feel high and mighty because they have a lot of money and influences. Even after doing crime, they still manage to avoid law with bribing or using money. That kind of noble is the one that Arlan hate the most.
"Big brother is so strong and amazing! Big brother hit them like bang and beat them like bum! Amazing!"
"Hahaha, thank you Misha. People like them are need to be teach a lesson"
"Lesson? Why? They can go to school?"
"Haha, no Misha, I mean, they are evil. We best to avoid people like them"
As he smiles, he told Misha about nobles like the man that he scared earlier.
In the afternoon, Arlan and Misha back to Saya's store. Even though the store not as lively as the market, there are some customers.
"Sis Musha!"
Misha run up to Musha and hug her immediately.
"Are you being a good kid with Arlan?"
"Yes! Look! Gift from Arlan!"
She hands over the food that Arlan prepared for both Musha and Saya to Musha. While thanking Arlan, Musha continue making the potion as she eats the food.
"With this, we can go to your tribe tomorrow morning"
"Eh? Why in a rush?"
"I provoked a noble, I don't think he would forget it, aunt Saya too, you better come with us"
"But, how about my store?"
"It's fine, I will store everything into my storage, and we will move to bigger city and start your store there"
"But it will be so expensive"
"Don't worry, let me handle everything, this town is not save anymore for you"
While looking at his map, Arlan keeps checking every store that available in town. As he found 1 store that he looking for, he's going out.
"I got some business in this town for a bit, I'll be back"
"Okay, take care Arlan"
He soon reached the store after walking for a few minutes.
"Welcome, may I help you with something?"
"Yes, I'm looking for some papyruses, inks, and a brush. Do you have some?"
"Sure, wait a sec"
The store which Arlan looked for is a Magic Scroll store. In this world, to learn a new magic, people need a scroll called [Learning Scroll] to learn a specific magic. With his knowledge about magic, he can make any kind of scroll and learn all magic without problem as long as he got the material for it.
If someone wants to get their hand on a learning scroll, magic scroll store is the easiest way to acquire some, but it's usually quite expensive. With his knowledge about magic scroll making, buying the materials are indeed far cheaper than the scroll itself.
"We have 200 papyruses in stock, 10 bottles of ink, and various brush. How much are you going to buy?"
Arlan appraise every single item for the price and condition. A bundle of papyrus is 20 pennies, per bundle is 5 papyruses, a bottle of ink is 15 pennies, and the brushes has different price.
"How much is per bundle of this papyrus?"
"Yes, a bundle is 25 pennies"
"I'll take all the papyrus if you willing to give it for 20 pennies per bundle"
"Oh, sure, mister customer"
"What about the ink?"
"It's only 12 pennies per bottle"
"Oh, cheap enough. I'll take all. And this brush? How much?"
"You have good eyes mister, this one is only 40 pennies, but since you bought all the papyruses, I will lower it to 30 pennies"
"Deal"
"Let me wrap all of this for you"
"No need"
Arlan puts all items that he bought to his [Infinite Storage] of his. After he pays the price, he immediately leaves the store and toward another store. The next store is a blacksmith store.
*You Acquired New Skill: [Bargain (Semi-active, Level 6{33%})]!
[Bargain (Level 6{33%})]
Bargain is a semi-active skill that only active when try to bargain some items with the merchant. As the level of bargain become higher, you can bargain an item to its cheapest market price. With current level, there is 12% chance the price of items become cheaper without bargaining.
"I hope there are some good quality materials here"
Arlan get in the store, inside the store, someone working on some sword and chest plate. As he looking around, a blacksmith worker notices him.
"Welcome sir, anything catches your eyes?"
"No, I'm only looking to buy some material, not finished sword"
"Is that so? What kind of material? We have 100 kg of Bronze, 150 kg of Iron, and 50 kg of steel"
"Hmm, how much are per kg for the iron?"
"It's 8 coppers per kg"
"Give me 5 coppers per kg and I'll buy all the iron"
"Sorry sir, we will give it to you if it's 6 coppers"
"Alright, 6 coppers it is"
"Yes, right away sir"
150 kg iron into his storage. After successfully bargaining, the skill level up by 9 more level. [Bargain (Level 15{45%})]
"I got all the things that I need in this town"
"Hoy! Is it you that beat my men?"
"Hmm?"
From what Arlan appraised from the man that talked to him, the status shows as [Mercenary Guild's Leader].
"Another annoying person..."
Arlan murmured to himself.
"Answer me, brat! Are you the one that beat them?"
"So what if I'm?"
"Oh! You brave little brat! Do you know who I' am?"
"Yes, Garo from the mercenary guild, right? Did a few crimes, kidnapping other adventurers, raping some girl, and other crimes, is that right?"
With the ability of dragon eye, Arlan could see all the crimes this Garo did in all his life.
"Wha.. How!? You brat! Charge him!"
20 people Garo brought charge at Arlan at the same time.
"Sending your member? You scared to face me yourself?"
Even while provoking, Arlan able to beat all the mercenaries that charge at him. Make them hit each other while block a few hit and countering the 20 mercenaries, he able to beat them unscathed. No sword, just his bare hand able to do that much. Since he doesn't want to kill carelessly, he won't use the sword against mortal creature except monster and demon.
"Is that it? So boring..."
"The hell!? What a bunch of useless people! I will handle you myself!"
"Oh? Can you? Come!"
"You brat!"
Garo charged at Arlan with his battle axe.
