"Good, good, just two red essence orbs please." Uldin said.
"What?" Aldrich asked in confusion, "I didn't see anything."
"That's the fee to access the first level of my stock."
"Two orbs just to look?! You can't be serious!" Aldrich fired back. "If you want essence orbs so much why don't you go kill a few of those bastards outside."
"I would have, if I could." Uldin said full of lamentation.
"What do you mean you can't? You're powerful enough."
Aldrich suddenly thought of something and said, "wait, you actually can't. You wouldn't get any orbs?"
"That's right. Well I've grown tired of saying this by now but, only Lost Ones can. Otherwise how could I rely on you guys?"
Now it made sense why this powerful being would trade goods for essence, he himself was unable to collect any, which gave Aldrich an incredible advantage.
"Okay, goodbye, I'm leaving. I'm not paying two orbs just to take a look."
