"Feel free to browse." The elf mage lifted his hood, revealing a face that was nearing middle age. "For a Gold Rank Mage, the magical items here may not be very enticing. The items here are mainly for civilian use, mostly unrelated to combat. If you want to see the goods in detail, you can ask the apprentices to fetch them for you."
"Excuse me, can I have a moment of your time?" Vivian stopped the elf mage who was about to leave and asked, "Actually, I came here to find some alchemical materials. I wonder if I could take a look at your stock?"
"Alchemy materials?" The elf mage paused, gave a surprised look at the two maidservants standing beside Vivian, and laughed, "It's the first time someone came here not to buy finished products, but to buy raw materials. Can't you buy these materials anywhere?"
Vivian glanced at the two embarrassed maidservants and shook her head. "It's my fault for not making it clear to them. If you don't have it here, we can go to another store."
