Like Toz had expected, Linda's Bookstore was open when he got to the alley where it was located. And like last time, it was empty except for Linda sorting through a few books and placing them on one of the shelves in the store.
Hearing the tinkling of the bell that signaled the door opening, Linda gave a welcoming greeting as she placed another book on the shelf before turning around to look at Toz standing by the front desk.
"It's you again. Welcome back!"
"Indeed. And this time, I have enough money to buy at least one grimoire."
After greeting Toz, Linda had already started walking to the front desk, but hearing Toz's words, she continued to the back of the store so she could bring out the grimoires she had shown Toz last time.
"Business has been slow these past few days, so the same selection as last time is still available. What budget are you working on?"
"Thirty thousand gold."
