Carrying my bag of bones I enter the adventurer's guild building, and today it is really excited for a lot of novice adventurers most here have black and gray cores. But that for me is not so fun, nobody likes to be waiting in line especially if it is composed of adventurers who don't smell like flowers.
I thought about entering through the side entrance maybe it's emptier there, but as I only have to wait for two more adventurers to be served to get my turn so it's better to just wait.
When my turn came, I was met by a receptionist from the cat tribe who was very friendly and excited to the point of becoming irritating, I recorded my exploration results from the bloody arena dungeon. She was shocked to learn that I went from the first to the tenth floor in a single day, I sold the magic gems to the guild and got two thousand and five hundred gold coins.
With that number of bucks plus the value of the bones I believe I can buy a decent bow from Calen today; I leave the mass of adventurers in the guild building and head towards Calen's house and workshop. When I get there, I go in only to find a group of beauties.
Obviously, Calen who is a beautiful elf who lives here, but today she is accompanied by another elf who is also beautiful like Calen only she looks younger but that means nothing to elves to some of them who look much younger than that they should be and a complicated breed to judge by their appearance.
And the elf is accompanied by a friend from the serpent tribe, she has veal scales with a little rainbow at the ends. I don't see members of this tribe in the city, not that they are rare they just don't like big cities and something cultural and adding to the prejudice that many people have with their tribe since they are famous for using different types of poisons.
The Serpent Tribe have a natural streak of resistance to poisons and anesthetics so combine it with training to improve their stamina they end up having a very high stamina. And this ended up creating a negative stereotype that all members of the tribe like to poison other people and as most people are afraid of dying then getting close to a possible poisoner is risky.
The various phrases that denigrate the tribe such as never accepting even a food or drink they have come into contact with and never entering one of their homes, people are very creative to denigrate their image. But coming back to the present I find myself being stared at by three beautiful women, but unfortunately one of them has her beauty diminished by her hostility.
"Hey brat, what does my shop bring, if you came to order cheap equipment you can turn around."
"Hi Calen I already learned my lesson. I know you don't like to waste your time I came looking for a new bow, I hope I'm not in the way?"
"Since you came looking for good equipment and welcome, I have already finished receiving their order. The young women are on their way out."
"Then I'm leaving aunt I'll come back to get the arrows in three days."
"Be careful and don't even think about entering the dungeon with Nira, you two aren't strong enough to get to the 20th floor of the dungeon even if you have a strong group."
"I know auntie I'm not going into the bloody arena anymore, me and Nira are going to pick up some guild quests in the coming months." She goes out hugging the girl from the snake tribe that must be Nira who by the way is looking at me with a little hostility towards me while hugging the elf in a very intense way.
As the two of them were walking out the door I saw Nira kissing the elf's neck and giving me a look that can only mean that if I approach her elf I will be poisoned. I turn to Calen who is giving me a look like I'm a piece of trash she doesn't want to clean up.
"You've ended up admiring their asses, don't forget to wipe the drool that's running out of your mouth."
Shit, I'm screwed.
"I don't know what you're talking about Calen, I was just looking at them because I felt hostility from the snake girl."
"She was just hostile to you because when you walk into the store you're behaving like an animal in heat."
"In my defense I don't believe it was so vulgar and I don't think it's wrong to admire the beauty of three beauties like you."
"How cute, a kid trying to flirt with me. Who knows when you mature and become a man, you'll have a chance and stay away from my niece or you'll end up dying of poison."
"How much hostility, you shouldn't treat a customer better."
"I'm treating you well, I'm keeping you from having a horrible death at the hands of Nira she and a girl a little too possessive. I don't know why little Ceye decided to be her partner."
What an ambiguous way to call their relationship, I can't infer the level of partnership between the two. But I have no reason to meddle in their lives, nor do I know them.
"Well, leaving the conversation about other people's lives for another day and better focusing on something that concerns my life. I made a little bit of money exploring a dungeon today and also got some interesting bones and wanted to know your opinion on their value."
"Bones? Were you by any chance exploring the bloody arena?"
"Yes, is it common to get these bones?"
"Common? No, if I'm right you must have taken these bones from a boss rank hobgoblin, right?"
"Yeah, he was a little dangerous to deal with."
"Difficult and a good understatement Ulric, you must have killed him yourself, didn't you?"
"Yes."
"There are two ways this boss appears and you had sore to face him when you're exploring the dungeon alone, because if you had one more person the hobgoblin will be a level two monster and will have some active offensive-type skills, he's considered the worst guardian to meet on the tenth floor, most surviving groups lose half their members to it."
"I think I don't need to tell you how hard it is to kill this guy he's unstoppable and the more you hurt him the stronger he gets when he's a level two monster, but in counterpoint he's much weaker as a level one monster only to find it that way you have to be exploring alone and rumors that if you explore from the first floor to the tenth the chance of it seeming is bigger, but this is just a rumor since there is no way to confirm it. "
"So are his bones worth a lot?"
"A little bit, level two bones are worth a lot more because they have a regenerative property in addition to their superior toughness, but as your bones are level one this regenerative property is basically non-existent, but they can still be used as a secondary metal and amplifier of the element of life it is mainly used in the manufacture of ripeness."
"Want to buy it?"
"I can accept them as part of the payment for your bow. Have you decided what kind of bow you are going to want?
"I have another two thousand gold coins I want a level three bow or a level two bow that can amplify the wind element rather than a bow for me to use in the moonlight forest."
"Hunting in the dark is a bold Ulric strategy, not all hunters are capable of shooting in the dark when surrounded by monsters. A medium bowl is the best choice for you and you'll have to take a few more coins to get arrows that go with a simple tier three bow because unfortunately I only have a tier two bow and your budget is too small to buy. it."
"What's so special about this arc, Calen?"
"One of its unique characteristics is that it is capable of storing a large amount of energy from the wind element and that makes the bow capable of firing an arrow at enormous speed and with the power of a level three weapon and it has some extra skills. It is a masterpiece made of very expensive materials and molded by my hands and unfortunately it will be wielded by a rich kid who doesn't know how to use it properly or will simply use it to show off, but he will also give me a dozen of thousands of gold coins."
"Well, since I can't buy this bow, what bow is available to me today?"
"I will be back in a moment."
Calen went to get the bow from his workshop and I spent my time admiring the bows on the wall one of them caught my eye because it looked made of crystal and not wood like the rest. But before I can study him, Calen returns carrying a gray bow and two quivers of arrows.
"Here's your Ulric purchase a tier three bow and two tier three quivers of arrows, they will be very useful when you explore the moonlight forest, as long as you don't get past the fifteenth floor these arrows can't be broken. But taking encounters with your strength you shouldn't try to get past the tenth floor, Ulric the enemies beyond the tenth floor are very difficult to track in the dark most of them have the shadow element in their favor."
"Thanks for the warning, Calen."
Coming out of Calen's workshop I finally have a decent bow I think I'll have to train a bit, before entering the dungeon I have to familiarize myself with my new bow.
