Upon getting back to camp, Timeless knew that nothing of any sort would happen to him in the camp as it's a safe zone for the humans and no one can plan an assassination attempt here so he wasn't too worried. before going back to his bunk though his first thought was to sell the beast core and get some decent weapon to use so he headed straight to the weapon shop.
Upon seeing someone enter the building and approach the counter, the sales assistant stood up and greeted with a smile "Good day Sir how can I be of help to you".
Although on the surface he seemed polite, Timeless could sense his disgust underneath that smile but didn't pay much attention to it. he proceeded to bring out the beast core and place it in front of the counter.
The Sales assistant upon seeing this felt stunned as he's been in the business long enough to know what exactly he was seeing. a wind essence beast core although beast cores, in general, weren't rare few possess particular elements, and this beast core in particular could be sold for a high amount, seeing as he couldn't deal with such a sale he hurriedly spoke; "Please humble gentleman can you give me a moment to contact someone higher up to conduct the sale for you".
Timeless shrugged as it didn't matter to him anyways as long as he could sell his beast core. After waiting a while someone came out of the door and was heading his way.
Good day young Sir, my name is Murin and I'm the owner of this shop the man said while observing Timeless; "care to let me examine the beast core in your possession" he asked.
Timeless nodded and proceeded to hand over the beast core to him while waiting to hear the amount the core could fetch him.
Murin turned his gaze to Timeless after a while and said "1 million zen dollars".
"1 million zen dollars?". Timeless felt he heard wrong as one should know that amount of money can get him a decent rented apart at the sanctuary and he could probably live off it for a year at most which is still pretty good all things considered.
"Yes 1 million zen dollars" Murin nodded
Timeless was glad about earning such money for the first time in his life, his parents were poor but loved each other and due to the situation they could only afford to raise one child. he always felt loved while his parents were alive but now he was all alone in the world the joy of earning such a good amount of money made his eyes wet.
"Father, Mother, your son is doing great for himself" he muttered with teary eyes, before composing himself.
Turning back to Murin he proceeded to ask, "can I look at some weapons, I'm hoping to purchase a couple of weapons if possible".
Murin nodded and proceed to lead him into the upper layer of the shop, they moved from shelf to shelf while Murin introduced some of the man-made weapons and Timeless listened attentively.
After sorting through the huge pile of weapons he pointed at 4 namely, a sword, a dagger, a bow and arrow, and armor from the insane amount of killing tools he was shown.
All four were insanely priced but within his capability right now, the dagger was a set of two fine jade daggers that was said to be at the same rank as a general-type weapon and the price for it was 900 thousand zen dollars. these sorts of weapons were at a lower price than general-type soul beast weapons but the vast difference between the two was that the beast soul weapon could repair itself while this one couldn't once it has broken that's it but seeing as he could't make use of soul energy at the moment these are must buy items for him.
After spending some moment contemplating between the four weapons he decided to settle for the dagger, although choosing a bow would be the best option and also keep him at a safe distance when attacking the thought of buying New arrows if he lost the one he was using settled whatever doubt he had, the armor was an elite Soldier armor that would protect all his body from harm he didn't think he needed it at the moment the dagger was definitely the best option although the sword did intrigue him that was only for a while.
After concluding the transaction and being left with just 100 thousand zen dollars, he thought of what could be done with the remaining amount he had but before he could get lost in thought he heard a voice saying "such a cool-looking weapon".
Turning his head over to see who was talking to him, he saw a woman with an icy feeling about her staring at him while smiling, he shivered slightly.
"Timeless is it?" Guinevere said while staring at the youth with a smile on her face but deep down she had a scornful look sensing that he was only a Mortal rank.
" And you are?" Timeless asked with a cold look that was filled with malice.
Seeing this Guinevere was speechless as she was a top beauty, even if she was to rank herself among the young beauties of the modern world she was sure to be top 10 but yet here she was receiving a condescending look from a mere mortal rank. Anger immediately crept unto her face and she radiated an intense icy aura; snapping her fingers 10 guards appeared each immensely strong.
Timeless seeing this though didn't have a single fear as he's done nothing wrong and cannot be killed unjustly well not until he heard the girl say her name and then he felt Cold sweat running down his body.
"Did you just say Guinevere, as In Guinevere of the frost clan the clan that conquered the Takhiri castle?" Timeless felt he had reached the end of his life at this point, but still, he wondered what he did wrong for the frost clan to take notice of him.
Turning to look at the Guards Guinevere ordered; "take him to father".
They bowed and proceeded to apprehend Timeless.
Seeing as struggling is futile, Timeless could only grit his teeth as he watched himself being bound and led to the Castle.
