"L-Level 7 you say?? You can actually read this ? Wow I knew it was a shadow scroll, but if I knew what an gem I had on my hands I would have priced it way higher you most certainly got an amazing deal on that my good sir, scrolls of that level usually cost an fortune ! " Xavier was utterly in shocked at what he sold.
" If you need to buy anything else sir here is my card call me directly and I'll have it ready for you, by the way I never got your name. " Xavier smiling happily handing Eregn his business card.
" My name is Eregn Blackwell. " Eregn took the card from Xavier and put it into his pocket an everything he purchased into his spatial ring.
" Blackwell... hmm that name sounds so familiar well Mr.Blackwell it was an pleasure doing business with you, like I said if you need to buy anything else let me know. "
Eregn nodded his head smiling an exited the shop looking around he could see the strange silver hair girl standing across the street staring at him smiling motioning for him to come across.
" Time to see if this girl can help me get what I need. " thought Eregn as he made his way to the silver haired girl
" Hey, so you said you know a place where I can find what I'm looking for ? "
" Yeah I do, I figured you were an person that would appreciate the finer thing's. " the strange girl looked Eregn up an down then winked at him as she extended her hand.
" My name is Luna."
Eregn reached out returning her handshake slightly blushing slightly.
" I'm Eregn nice to meet you."
" Cute name, just follow me Eregn. "
Luna began walking as Eregn followed he noticed that she was actually very beautiful an the way she walked was very graceful.
Luna and Eregn walked a couple of blocks with twist an turns until they made their way to what seem like a darker part of the city it was less busy an crowded .
" So where are you taking me ? " asked Eregn looking around
Luna look back at Eregn and smiled, " We are going to a secret place called the black market it has all types of rare things I'm sure you will be able to find what you need. "
Eregn nodded as they continued walking, but had a growing suspicion of the strange girl why was she helping him.
" So why are you helping me what's in it for you ? "
Luna turned towards Eregn and smiled.
" You seemed different then the usual rich snobs that come to this city... you have an shroud of mystery to you an it looks like you can keep a secret. "
Luna winked at Eregn once again and kept walking until they finally came upon a black warehouse walking to the side Luna knocked six times on a door and waited.
< Eregn be on guard I sense a powerful presence in this building that feels familiar >
Soon the ground from Eregn came apart like a trap door as he and Luna dropped down a couple feet in darkness and landed in a dimly lit room.
" Where are we, why the hell didn't you warn me ? "
Eregn grabbed Luna by the collar of her jacket, but at the same time Luna eyes began to glow and she turned into a smokey mist appearing behind him.
" Whoa someone has a quick temper, calm down it's one of the secret entrances, can't have everyone knowing how to get in... you know your kinda cute when your upset. "
Luna smiled at Eregn while she fixed her jacket and continued walking down the dimly lit path until they came upon two guards in grey suits with masks one was a female around 5'7 with an gold mask that had a happy face while the other was a male around 6' 3 with an silver mask that was frowing, both guarding an metal door with huge rune symbols in the middle.
" Lady Luna ! you've returned with an new client i see." said the lady with the gold mask clapping her hands excitedly.
" Yes I have an he's a big spender too Goldy" Luna nudge the gold mask lady while giggling
" Hope he doesnt cause trouble like the last one." said the silver masked man while cracking his knuckles.
Luna turned to Eregn " The happy one here is Goldy an the grumpy guy is Silva they are the best security around."
Eregn decided he would inspect them to get a good gage of their strength.
< Magic Inspect Activated >
< Error... Magical Artifact Interference >
" Huh...The masks must be blocking out my inspect ability those have to be some pretty strong artifacts. " Thought Eregn.
" Yeah, yeah, enough with the introduction. " Said Silva while pulling out a large cube with a glowing blue circle in the middle .
" Place your storage ring in the middle of the cube weapons aren't allowed an this will scan your ring and strip you of anything dangerous, the cube will give your ring a ID number that register all your items an anything you may buy, when your done they will be returned to you at the end. "
Eregn looked at Luna, but she looked unbothered while chatting with Goldy so he placed his ring in the middle of the cube as it began glowing taking away all his weapons.
" Second rule is no magic ! " Goldy seemingly out of nowhere excitedly placed a black bracelet with red inscriptions onto Eregn wrist glowing becoming tighter.
" This band will nullify all mana an spells now that the checks have been completed you can go through now. " Goldy an Silva placed their hands on the metal door an the symbols began to glow as the door began to dematerialize
Eregn looked back at Luna nodding at him to walk through, but before Luna walked through Silva stopped her to whisper something in her ear causing her to stop smiling.
" Hey why don't you go through I have... business to attend to an will meet up with you shortly."
" You sure ? I can wait on you to return."
" No you go ahead I don't want to hold you up from getting what you need find a merchant with a black patch on his eye named Braga tell him i sent you. " Luna quickly gave Eregn an peck on his cheek causing him to blush even harder the first time as Luna walked off giggling as Eregn held his face.
< Haha... I got an feeling that girl is going to be Trouble.. >
" Wow... you might be right Hades... hey with this band can I still use my abilities ? "
< Technically yes... that band only affect mana based abilities an since you have evolved to use essences it is basically useless >
" Good.. ever since you told me about that powerful presence I've been on edge, I didn't want to be completely disarmed in here. "
Walking through the door the place looked way bigger then it looked on the outside. Eregn could see stalls set up all around as merchants were selling rare artifacts, scrolls, weapons, drugs even illegal exotic beast in cages.
Eregn walked around until he saw an shop stand with a rugged man with bulky muscles, grizzly grey beard with an red bandanna tied around his head with an black patch on his right eye, messing around with an odd metal object giving off the feeling and look of a old pirate.
" That has to be the guy." Eregn thought as he approached the man.
" Hey are you Braga ? "
The pirate looking man stopped what he was doing to look up at Eregn with his one eye ,spitting on the ground before replying.
" Beat it kid..shops closed, can't you see I'm busy..."
Braga went back to fidgeting with the metal object.
" I heard you may have what I need an I have been searching for these items all day."
This time Braga put down the metal object an got in Eregn face while grabbing his shirt pulling him so close Eregn could smell the alcohol on his breath
" Look here, you rich bastards are all the same thinking you run shit...well let me tell you when your down here your in my world an what I say goes ! "
Eregn began to feel a rage inside him, he was already tired an to be lead this far for this guy to turn him away he had enough.
Looking dead into Braga eyes, Eregn eyes began to glow ghastly green.
