When the carriage arrived, a man stepped out with a heavy leather coat, black pants and his hair was medium length with a short sideburn beard. The man who stepped out of the carriage looked at John and Carmilla and gave them a light nod before walking towards the castle "Who is that guy" John asked Carmilla. "That is Carlos Decker, he is a friend and business partner of grandfather, he comes here every now and then to discuss business".
"Oh, by the way where is grandma, she was supposed to be here" John was curious what took his grandmother so long to arrive. After a couple of minutes Anna came with four knights and two maids. "What took you so long grandma?" Anna smiled at John's questioning her "I have to get myself ready, don't you know that it takes time to put on make-up and style the hair, come child get into the carriage". "Grandma, can I also come along?" Carmilla asked
"Of course, honey". It took them 2 hours to get to the town, the town was huge, full of all kinds of people. John's eyes were shining brightly as he looked at all the buildings and small bridges with cool designs. The carriage later came to a stop in front of a fancy restaurant "Elena, Carmilla please show John around the town I have a meeting here with an old friend" "Yes master" Elena said while giving a light bow.
John, Carmilla and Elena was walking through the town that was brimming with life as everyone was busy. Suddenly John smelled something nice and went to a nearby restaurant "Hey what is that smell" he went inside, it looked very nice inside, not too fancy, there were people who looked like a mix of a man and lizard, some humans and elves. Everyone was minding their own business, John went up to the girl who looks like a waiter "excuse me shawty, but can you tell me what that delicious smell is", the waiter smiled at John "you must be new, what you are smelling Mr is the meat from the 4-eye white pig, do Mr want to taste?"
"Oh don't call me Mr shawty, call me John and how much does the 4 eye white pig meat cost? "It is about 10 silver Mr John" the waiter said, "then I would like to buy some", Carmilla and Elena also came into the restaurant "John why did you run off so suddenly?"
"Oh I almost forgot, Carmilla, Elena do you two also want some 4 eye white pig meat?" Carmilla shook her head "no I am not hungry" Carmilla said, "What about you Elena?" "No thank you, young master". "John how are you able to eat so much meat while you are suppose to be thirsty for blood". John thought about telling Carmilla that it is probably because he is not a full vampire but he changed his mind "probably because I am weird".
John shrugged his shoulders, all three went to a table when the meat arrived John's mouth was flowing like water "this smell is amazing". John ate the 4 eye white pig meat like a hungry lion "Wow I have never had meat tasting this good, I wonder what other delicacies are in this world, I can't wait to try them all". After John ate, they visited different stalls that sold weapons, paintings and food. They walked for a few minutes until they arrived at a store that sells magic items "Lets take a look inside" John went in first, while Carmilla and Elena went in afterwards. John went to the counter and he saw stones of different colours "Wow these stones look beautiful"
"Those are elemental stones young man; do you probably want to buy some?" the old man said with a faint smile on his face
"This is my first time seeing elemental stones, can you take them out so I can get a better look?"
"No problem, young man"
"Don't call me young man, Old man. Sorry for not introducing myself, my name is John Crimson"
The old man's eyes went wide "Sorry my Lord for not knowing who you are" the old man gave a light bow.
"This old man is called Clarence"
"Nice to meet you Clarence, let me see dem stones"
Clarence took out the stones and positioned them neatly on the table. John picked up a red stone and felt the magic power that flowed through the stone.
"How does this work old man Clarence" John asked while putting the stone back on the table.
Old man Clarence looked confused "Does young lord not know how an elemental stone work?"
John shook his head "Please explain".
"You just have to absorb the power that is in the stone and then release it". John looked at the stones on the table "How much does one cost?"
"50 silver, but I can give the young lord a discount"
"No, are these stones powerful?"
"It depends on who the young master is fighting, these stones will be highly effective against a weak opponent, but this is low level stones, there are stones that are higher level but it will cost more, however, I don't think master can use those kinds of stones yet"
"Ok, then give me four, I want the two red ones that I assume is fire, I want a lighting and a wind stone to go with that"
After John bought the stones, he put all of the stones in his storage ring. Elena and Carmilla came afterwards and wanted to leave as everything they saw in this store was not high quality in their eyes. John wanted to look around more to see if there is anything he like, but he left the store with the two girls with a smile on his face.
