2500 coins was an exorbitant amount for Spectre to pay for a sword. Not that the Eternal Noir wasn't worth a high sale price, but he knew deep within him that Aestus wanted to rip him off in broad daylight.
"That's a lot!" he blurted out on hearing the price.
Spectre didn't have that much on himself. Even if he had gone on a few quests with DabbDabb these past few days, he wasn't exactly taking all of the rewards for himself.
He was also a member of the GoGo Rangers and a portion of any quest rewards went into a group contribution.
Aestus picked up Eternal Noir, caressed it and put it all over Spectre's face to taunt him and lure him into making the purchase.
"Well, that's the lowest I can go and I'm doing that because it is you."
Spectre sighed in his heart. That lie could be seen from miles away.
