The clothes Ryan bought weren't just any old cheap clothes but extremely durable and expensive clothes that each fit the role of the person who was given them, a gold bar, that is how much money he spent on the clothes.
He now needed to go out and buy basic equipment to start his store, he then realised he didn't even know his servant's names so he asked each one and found out the twin girls were Venus and Pluto, the cook was Hela and the dwarves were Tug and Lug.
They all had good names except the dwarves but he couldn't do anything about that, well he could but that's too much of a hassle.
He then told Tug and Lug to follow him, he took them to a tool shop he found very close to his house, close being on the next street over.
When he entered the door a bell jingled and a woman came up to greet them "What would you like to do today?"
"I'd like to buy a couple items"
The lady nodded and showed Ryan and his servants around. After the tour, Ryan went around and bought several things, a grindstone, forge, an assembling table to make the sword hilts, an anvil, a rune table with the same runes as his father's one, a cauldron like object he'd seen in the rich dude's place and a couple other things bringing his remaining money to 1 Gold bar so he then went and began looking through resources and materials.
He saw that the cryorite costed 6 Silver Bars a piece so he bought 6 cryorite bars, he the n bought some of what was apparently called rune dust for 2.4 gold coins each and finally he got something to use in the cauldron, a high silver tier werewolf heart for a two gold coins.
Apparently the purpose of the cauldron is to mix metals with activating materials to add extra attributes, it also turned out that there was a ranking system for materials and tools which worked in a very similar way as coinage in this country:
Low Iron, Medium Iron, High Iron, Top-tier Iron
Low copper, Medium Copper, High Copper, Top-tier Copper
Low Silver, Medium Silver, High Silver, Top-tier Silver
Low Gold, Medium Gold, High Gold, Top-tier Gold
Low platinum, Medium Platinum, High Platinum, Top-tier Platinum
Low Guardian, Medium Guardian, High Guardian , Top-tier Guardian
Spirit Items
Soul Items
Legend Items
Mythical Items
Divine Items
Universe Items
In Ryan's opinion they should have just numbered them and had decimals for the sub-categories but these were the early ages of mathematics so that wouldn't happen, it also turns out all categories above soul have only appeared in myths and legends.
He then, with the help of his servants took all the stuff he bought home. Next Ryan moved everything out of the living room which was just paintings, two couches which were opposite each other and finally a rectangular table between couches.
He just put these in the front room before going back to the living room, none the equipment required any connections so he just put them in places where they looked like they fit, Ryan had a strong urge to paint the entire room black and put big metal doors to block all the light before using fire to light the room.
Ryan really liked the idea so what do you know, he bought all these things for 50 silver coins and exchanged the gold bar for silver bars getting 95 silver bars with the stuff he bought taken out of it.
He then had his dwarven slaves carry the metal doors whilst he carried the paint reaching his house in just over a minute.
Hearing his stomach rumble he got his cook to follow him to help him choose the best food items.
Once at the front door of his house he stood and waited for a couple minutes until his servant came out in a beautiful dress with flower and vine patterns all over.
This being where she lived before her ex knocked her out and sold her to the slave merchant she had a good idea of all the best places to buy food.
So after three hours of weaving through alley ways full of merchants they'd collected what they needed and were heading back home when an elderly man approached them from his store "Only 5 silver bars and egg, these eggs are a special one of sale"
Ryan looked at him "Ok, so why are they special?"
"These eggs are descendants of the Holy Flame Dragon Queen, they have a chance to carry its bloodline"
Ryan confirmed to himself this was an absolute scam. Too bad he had a bit of a gambling addiction and he liked to gamble on whatever the hell he wants, if this creature turns out having benefits then it does and if it doesn't then he's going to need to earn more money and gamble on something else.
Im the end he bought one and left, including the food costs he lost 6 silver bars, it is obvious that Ryan doesn't care though, he turned to leave the little stall catching a small glimpse of the merchants huge smirk.
They walked home and barely got through the door from all the stuff they held, they walked up the stairs nearly falling flat on their faces a couple times.
When they entered the kitchen and they opened the pantry it had a rune that Ryan was told slows all foods ageing hundred-fold thus the food that normally lasted a bout five days will now last five hundred days.
When he actually checked he saw that all the beds were made and when he went downstairs the entire room was dark but the new doors weren't in place yet.
Ryan smiled before deciding to make his first sword with the cauldron, he grabbed a bar of cryorite before throwing it in the cauldron and realising he didn't have any coal or even fire wood.
He then also noticed an egg sitting in his pocket, his mother told him that for humans to hatch eggs themselves they had to form a blood contract with them before pouring enough of their own energy into it that it hatches.
He also remembered quite clearly that he was 100% incapable of becoming a beast tamer so he found his female staff (Female because the dwarves are already blacksmiths) and asked them "Does anyone of you have the ability to become a beast tamer?"
Pluto raised her hand, Ryan found this extremely fitting since Pluto, the Roman god of the underworld had tons of creatures under his command.
He gave her the egg "See if you can hatch this egg"
She bit her finger and rubbed it against the egg in a spiral pattern until it reached the base before visibly tensing and sending her own energy into it.
The logic was that the blood trapped the energy in causing a build up in energy and basically overwriting the creature will, this was actually very similar to the slave contract between humans except if the animal is strong enough or has a strong enough will it can stop the contract.
The blood visibly soaked into the egg causing the gg to glow and begin to crack until a small head popped out followed by the rest of what turns out to be a winged lizard like creature.
On further inspection the creature had scales with a pattern of red and gold that resembled a target with the head being bullseye, it's eyes were silvery white and on its tail it had a small tuft of golden hair.
Ryan then realised a problem "It's lungs will be to small to spew a constant stream of flames, also that man just lost out on a lot of money"
Venus and Pluto looked at each other before Venus spoke "Well we do have an eleven spell that can cause rapid growth in contracted beasts, wait Pluto could you tell us the details of the creature"
"Um well..." She stuttered for a bit before reading them out and the information ended up being:
Race: Holy Flame Dragon Princess
Attributes: Flame, Light
Age: Zero Years
Life Expectancy: 3450 Years
Strength Level: Awakener 4
All beast tamers had the special ability to see the information on their own pets, something everyone was amazed by was the fact that it was born at the fourth stage of the Awakener real first up.
The different levels included:
Ordinary 1-2
Awakener 1-10
Knight 1-10
Guardian 1-10
Royal Guardian 1-10
Royal 1-10
Legend 1-100
Myth 1-50,000
Divine Life form 1-1,000,000
Universal Life form 1-100,000,000
Omnipotent Life form ♾
It had to be known that people
had been bullied for claiming they knew a creature or person at the royal level.
While Ryan thought he did not realise that Pluto and Venus drew up many strange symbols on the dirt before placing the small creature inside it.
They cut their hands causing blood to glow into the symbols and a bright light was produced.
