Eight thousand gold was slightly more than what he had expected. So far, during his journey, he had, in total, maybe spent the worth of a few golds but using silver and copper coins. And the things that had cost the most were using the portal and the things they had bought in Sleepless Brights, especially the spices. But in total, he had barely spent more than a dozen out of the several tens of gold coins he had gathered before he, Nil, and Lucy set out on the journey.
And while he had gotten a decent reward for reporting the Scorched Earth Rats to the Explorers' Guild, it wasn't more than a hundred gold coins. With his current finances, Toz was far from being able to buy a grimoire. It was to the point he temporarily regretted giving up the Rat King's body. Although he didn't know how much that would have given him, disregarding if he would even be able to sell it properly, it should at least have been in the tens of thousands of gold.
