The mission we had in the Buzău area has ended, and now we can return home whenever we want, only I can't return so quickly because I risk raising my mother's suspicions that I am not a normal child. , but one who fights monsters and saves the world from being drowned in monsters. So I decided to stay in Buzău for a while, more precisely, to use the key to arrive at that underground city.
To get to that market area for hunters, we have to go down a hundred meters under civilization and to do this we have two options, one of them is to use a portal key to lead us there, and the second option is to take an elevator from the hunters' base (that's what we have at the base where I work in the Curtea de Argeș) and go a hundred meters deep to that town under the ground.
Jacob has decided to use the key because he is much higher in rank than me and also, he goes there many more times. Both of us arrived in that underground city in a safe shape. When he had arrived here, Jacob and I have started to walk on the streets of the underground city and going to the nearest markets where we can buy a few new gadgets for our future fights.
We walk a few dozen meters until we reach a stall, where a salesman, dressed in a kind of clothing that doctors had formed during that plague in Europe, which can be easily recognized by SCP-049 fans. I'm talking about the black robe and that mask you see most often in the Italian dance show in the streets where evening dance parties are held following a special event.
"Greetings, hunters!" says the seller to us. "How can I help you today?"
I look at the seller's table and the things he could sell to me. On the table, he got some yellow, red, purple, and white potions, a few belts that contain some test tubes containing potions of different colors, the largest belt there contains about eighteen potions of red, green, yellow, black, or even pink-blue color, a potion I've never seen before. There are also weapons at this stall, only daggers that you can find anywhere in the stalls in this area, but these stalls are of poor quality because I saw one of them a crack on its blade, if I had not had the sight of a werewolf, then I would have received a rather large scam. Nothing from there could attract my attention there, but Jacob looked at that seller and asks him.
"Are you selling partial potion for ghosts to become humans?"
"I am sorry, mate. But those things are not available in this zone." says the seller feeling bad that he didn't have these things to sell and to gain money, but those things are probably a fortune judging from the seller's disappointment. "But you lady, do you want something to buy from here?"
"Um... A potion who could regenerate my health?" I ask the seller because the ability of a werewolf could regenerate me, but quite slow. For example, one time I got a horrible cut on my stomach and I had to stay in bed for two days until the wound will disappear. It looks like, if the wound is small, the health regenerative ability is faster.
"Health potions, you say? Which one? I got the kind who can heal cancer? Wounds if you ain't a monster who can regenerate his health? The kind who can regenerate your ally if you ain't a healer monster? The one who throws poison, the most known. Or you want a set with twelve health potions at eighty-five RON and fifty cents."
"A set with twelve health potions," I respond to the seller who is handing me a box that contains twelve tubes filled with health potions and I am giving him the money for those potions because I got the money at me when I left the house and after I have finished the mission, the team who helped us gave us one hundred RON per. person.
After I took that box with potions I put them into my backpack, and I with Jacob have left that guy stall and we are heading to see other markets... For now, we have seen a blacksmith house where he is crafting a few weapons for three hunters, one who is in human shape, the second one is half-human-half-demon and the last one is in a frog and human form. We ignored that blacksmith because we do not need new weapons. After all, these things are very expensive, and I have already given a lot to that seller earlier. Damm... I really wished to ignore that seller and do our things, to explore this underground city because this is the first time that I am here.
But, right when we were about to leave, Jacob asked.
"Do you want to buy something from here?"
"Sorry... but I do not have money," I say to Jacob.
"Do not worry, today it is my treat."
"Alright, then!" says Jacob because the thing he has done is really new to me and he, goes to the blacksmith and asked him while I point to a dagger. "How many RON for this one?"
"You want to buy a dagger that holds the blood spell? Are you a vampire or what?"
"That dagger it is only for vampires?"
"No. No. This dagger could work on everyone, but the spell it holds is quite dangerous for beginners in hunting. This dagger costs three hundred RON. But if you are new, I'll recommend you a dagger with a simple spell." says the blacksmith taking from a counter a box with daggers and put on the table, and shows me those three daggers in the box. "We have here three daggers containing different elements. The first is one that I created some time ago and has inserted in it the element of ice, something harder to master although it can also be used by beginners. The second dagger contains an element consisting of that of water, a very common one for beginners. And the third, it contains the element of the plant, such an element is very good if you want to keep someone in its place and good for those who act as supports. You know... The guys who stay at the back while the strongest stays in the front and get obliterated by so much damage, that they could die."
"But not on the case of ghosts," whispered Jacob to make me laugh but it did not work and the guy did not even notice that Jacob was talking to me.
"So... What weapon do you take?"
I looked carefully at those three daggers because these could change the way I am going to the fact. Even though these are just simple daggers with elemental powers, these could help me fight better, in case if the werewolf power is going to stop working for a moment. The first dagger had really pleased me to take it, but I realize that the ice can be easily turned off because many monsters have a body temperature five times higher than that of humans. I take a look at the second dagger, which contains the power of the water, but when it is to get my hands on it, I suddenly decide, for no reason, to take the third dagger. I didn't even realize I got my hands on it, but on second thought, it would be an idea to try it, and if it doesn't work, I can always go back to this blacksmith because this gentleman salesman gets the goods back, unless it's completely broken.
If I'm being honest, the third dagger that can control the plants doesn't sound bad. Before we were about to buy that knife, the seller told me some advice on how I could use this knife. The first tip is that I can use power more easily if the dagger is thrown and it sticks into that person for a second a tree will grow inside its body through its organs, which resembles a fatality of Mortal Kombat that Cetrion might have. The second tip he told is the fact that this dagger can absorb people's health and then you can give it to someone else or yourself. And the third tip is, to never stick that knife in the ground, it'll be worse if I stick it in the ground. That was the advice the Blacksmith said to me, and when Jacob paid the Blacksmith for the dagger and we were about to go somewhere else until we hear a woman in this underground market screaming for help, and I and Jacob go to that lady who needs the help of hunters, that is if it's catching criminals.
"Help! Help!" screamed the old lady for help.
"What is the matter, lady?" asked Jacob when we have arrived closer to hear.
"Please help me! So-Someone has stolen my wallet! H-He run into that direction!" says the lady pointing with her finger into a crowded area where a man with a hoodie is running around people and we with Jacob are starting to go after him.
