In an instant, a flash of regret crossed Cedric's expression. Just like Emery, he was a poor artisan with a poor background, without the backing of a rich old family like many of the acolytes out there. There was no way he had 100,000 spirit stones laying around.
Emery himself knew this and laughed, showing Cedric he was just asking as a joke. While the mood had lightened, Emery decided to ask him about something else.
"That aside… Do you know where I can find items that are out of stock in the academy hub?"
"You're looking for a rare item then? Well, I'm sure Golden City has access to more items than even the academy. You know, being one of the biggest trading cities in the universe and all…"
For this matter, Cedric brought Emery to a place they had previously visited.
[Golden City - Magus Guild]
