——In the end, Aiwass made the purchase.
It was a Coronet Scepter worth 8,800 White Crown Coins of purple grade. The shop owner even threw in two daggers crafted in the Elven Style... which would be perfect for Lily to use.
With an Elf's stature, these daggers were essentially short swords to Lily. Their quality was even slightly better than the standard-issue sword Hayna had as an Inspector, and would last a long time.
After considering the daily necessities previously acquired for over four hundred White Crown Coins, Aiwass simply bought Sherlock some rare ancient books as well as some precious ceremonial and magic potion materials, rounding up to an entire ten thousand White Crown Coins and securing a full thirty percent discount—he was quite aware that the shopkeeper was earning more than he was saving, but he was still pleased.
There was a delightful illusion of a bargain.
