Arthur was laughing hard inwardly. Poor Mason. He was used by Arthur.
It wasn't enough for Arthur to give up on playing. He needed to win more to qualify for the highest tier diamond card. In this way, he can exchange any item or take them.
.....
After Kaine arrived, Mason could no longer squander away the money. As a result, Arthur got to show off his talent alone while Mason could only stand aside gritting his teeth. He won a lot of money by gambling. He didn't lose even once.
His consecutive wins made him a legend among gamblers. Some of them followed him around and took advantage of his ability to win money by betting on the same choice as Arthur.
.....
"Hehe.. So much money. I can use them to create my new weapon. " Kaine laughed as she felt the weight of the pouch containing money.
Mason didn't say anything but his face was darker than black. His heart probably couldn't accept being defeated.
Currently, Arthur was making his way towards the second floor for exchange. He got a diamond tier cards so he can exchange it for quite a things...
"So are you ready to go on a date with me, Kaine?"
"Ah! Yes, that's what I promised back then so I will not go back on my words. You can rest assured. "
(Although I felt a little unwilling at first, he is not bad. He is handsome, strong and also has a noble background. There's no problem with giving it a try. But he is too ruthless and also a bit mean. Hmph, I must not show him too much favor.)
Kaine thought in her mind.
As Arthur climbed up the stairs to the second floor, they came to corridor on the second floor. In front of the corridor was a man dressed like a normal house butler.
On the contrary to what he thought, the man was not old. He was young. He looked not more than 26 years old. He was dressed in a very well mannered way and wore eyeglasses that gave him a air of knowledgeable person. His blonde hair was freely fluttering as wind blows gently past him causing a few strands of his hair to cover his face partly.
This man was the only one here. He was waiting for them here.
"Hello, everyone. I am Maris Lance. I am going to show you around. Please ask me for anything you need. I will try to help fulfil your wishes as much as I want."
Maris spoke very respectfully and didn't show any other expression.
"We want to exchange some materials from here. Here, I have a diamond tier card with me."
Arthur showed his card for confirmation.
Maris took the card, inspected it for a while. Seeing the card he was surprised very much.
(This values are not fake, are they?)
Maris was skeptic after seeing this kind of result. Arthur's diamond tier card is filled with points to the brim.
"Okay, you can bring one more person with you. Not everyone can enter with you." Maris said, returning the card to Arthur. He checked the card and found that it is real and there is no way they can deceive his eye.
Arthur didn't need to think much. He instantly picked Kaine to come with him.
Kaine seemed pleased that Arthur chose her but wasn't very vocal about it.
Then they followed Maris who led the way for them. As they followed Maris, Arthur grew curious about him.
So he used his [Appraisal] skill. With the skill activated he could see a status Window beside him.
Name : Maris Lance
Tittle : Genius MAGE
Age : 28
Power level : A-
Hidden Potential : Eye of truth.
.....
Arthur was surprised!
He didn't think he will find someone like him here. This guy is as strong as his father and he has the Eye of truth despite being only 28 years old. Although he doesn't know what it does, it looks very impressive ability.
Also, this guy must be a prodigy in magical arts. His tittle at least indicates that.
He decided to maintain good relationship with this guy.
"Mr. Maris, can you tell me about this floor?"
"Of course "
Maris replied without delay. Then he began to describe, "This floor is where we store all the important and valuable items for exchange. We divided the items into various different section like forging materials, alchemy materials, medicine etc. "
Arthur listened to the end and understood that this place has very good management for the large stock of items stored here. That's why it is so popular.
He came to the forging materials section first. His main goal was to buy some materials for
Kaine.
There are many materials here. From rare to ordinary, everything could be found here.
The various types of items here were decorated in a cupboard displays which dazzled their eyes.
"Kaine, choose anything you like from here."
"Huh!"
Kaine was surprised. She didn't expect Arthur to show so much grace on her. This was really surprising to her.
"Are you sure? I really need some materials now. If you are really offering, I won't be polite at all. " Kaine laughed playfully.
"It's okay. I know you need it and that's why I came here to purchase gift. Fortunately, you also came here. You can choose your gift by yourself now."
Hearing that she could choose as much as she wanted, Kaine was really pleased and excited. She didn't even bother to ask how Arthur knew that she needed materials to forge a weapon.
After getting permission Kaine browsed through all the materials and chose the most suitable one as the base of his weapon. The base of weapon is very important in order to make higher grade weapon. A powerful base material makes a weapon more powerful.
Arthur also looked around and used his [appraisal] skill to evaluate the quality of the materials. Maris also continued to follow them from behind. He introduced each materials with details.
After Kaine finished choosing the materials, Maris made an estimation of the materials. But it was still too low for Arthur's diamond tier cards to become empty.
