Their first stop was the Inn that the guard was talking about and they found it quite fast thanks to his directions and the fact that this town was small.
The place had a simple name "The River Inn" but it was at least clean and tidy.
-We would like to rent a room for two days.
Paul said once they reached the counter.
-We have most of our rooms available right now,do you have any preference?
The Innkeeper said after greeting them politely.
-One room with a big bed and the meals included.
Paul said without any hesitation.
He wasn't sure about the prices in the Inn's as he had never stayed in one but he more or less knew the value of the money he had as he did use them a few times in his previous life.
The family scarcely let him go out but when he did they at least made sure that he had some money with him.
-We have two such rooms available.
The Innkeeper said once he checked the book.
-The price is fifty cooper for the room and ten copper for the food for each of you so the total would be one silver and sixty copper for a two days stay also we will add the bath for free.
Paul nodded and paid for the room as the price wasn't exaggerated and if the food here tasted the same as it smelled then a ten copper price was a very low price to pay.
-We would like something to eat now,what would you recommend?
Paul asked as it was already past noon and he was starting to get hungry.
-Of course,I recommend something light as a snack as dinner will be served a bit later today.
If you would like then I can prepare some fish soup within a few minutes.
The Innkeeper said.
-Then the fish soup it is.
Paul agreed with the man,he and the girls sat down at one of the tables and a few minutes later three bowls of fish soup were standing before them.
The soup smelled delicious and it tasted even better
After the meal they went into their room and the room was also clean and tidy.
The bed was really big and the sheets were fresh. There was no sign of dust in the whole place.
-Master, can you tell us how to use money?
Maya asked as they were curious about this.
Both girls knew how to trade as in their clan they often watched the goblins exchange items but then never used money.
-Of course.
Paul agreed and took out some money from his spatial pendant.
-There are four kinds of coins in this world,starting from copper coins which have the least value,there are also silver coins,gold coins and crystal coins which have the highest value.
Paul explained.
He showed them copper ,silver and gold coins but he didn't have any crystal coins to show them.
-One gold coin is equal to one hundred silver coins and one silver coin is equal to a hundred copper coins.The crystal coin on the other hand is worth a thousand gold coins.
He explained the value of every coin.
-As for what you can buy with the money it depends on how much of it you have and how high is the price of the item that you want to buy.
Paul decided that the best way for them to understand would be to go shopping and they had to resupply and buy some other things.
He gave the girls some money to use as they pleased and they went around the shops.
Their first stop was a clothing shop as even if they had the clothes from the people that they buried,they still needed some simpler clothes as the ones that they were wearing now attracted too much attention.
Paul bought some clothes for himself and he helped the girls to choose some for themselves.
As usual the skin color of the girls attracted the attention of the shop owner but the woman bought their story without any problems and besides they were customers and she couldn't care less what they looked like since they were paying.
Their next stop was a weapons shop as they had to buy some arrows and some male weapons for themselves that were not too fancy like the ones used by the now dead nobles.
Paul also decided to buy staff for them as they amplified the magic and made it easier to cast spells.
The weapons shop was quite big and there were many kinds of weapons in it so he allowed the girls to choose their own weapons as he already had chosen his.
He wanted a sword as it was the weapon that he trained with the most in his previous life.
Maya had chosen twin short swords as her weapons as they were short and easy to use for her.
On the other hand Mia was attracted by the fans as they looked pretty and at the same time they radiated their killing power.
-Those are dagger fans, young lady as they have hidden blades inside of them.
The shop owner explained once he saw her interest with the fans.
Then he took one out and presented how they worked and that they could also be used for defense as they were made from the spirit beast materials and should be able to stop normal arrows and when they were folded they could be used as long daggers.
Mia was really interested in these weapons and had chosen it as her weapon.
She had chosen two fans with pretty decorative paintings on them.
The shop owner showed her how to release the blades and how to retract them before handing them over to her.
Paul on the other hand simply took a sword that he found good enough for now. and he also bought a thousand arrows as he wanted to have a supply and use some of them to train the archery with the girls as he also needed to train so that his skills wouldn't get rusty.
The shop owner was delighted as this was the biggest sale he had made in a whole year and he earned a lot from this.
The total price of the weapons and arrows came to a total of twenty two gold coins which was a lot of money but the weapons that the girls had chosen were not exactly cheap and the same went for arrows,bowstrings and Paul's own sword.
Fortunately this price wasn't too high for them as they still had over a thousand gold coins and a few thousand silver coins so they weren't exactly poor.
On top of that if they needed more money than he could sell the beast materials that he had and the ingredients that he collected and found on the dead.
After the weapons shop they went to replenish their food supplies,even though they had enough food for quite a while.It was always a good idea to get more as they didn't know how long it would take them to reach another town and also sometimes it was hard to reach the town as there were many beasts in the wild not to mention bandits and some other dangers that could force them to make a detour.
Another place they visited was a tool shop as they had to buy more equipment to be ready for the upcoming journey as the road ahead was long.
Then lastly they entered an alchemy shop and the girls were stunned at the variety of the potions and pills available, not to mention the ingredients that were filling the shelves.
-Welcome,how may I help you?
A young girl asked from the counter as soon as they entered.
-Hello, we would like to buy some pills and potions.
Paul said politely.
-Then you are at the right place please look around and if you find something you need then just tell me.
-No need for that as I know what I want to buy already and it will be faster if I just list them.
Paul then proceeded to list the pills and potions that they needed and since they were mostly basic stuff the girl managed to find them all in the store and she even neatly packed everything.
The pills were mostly the healing pills,antidote pills and some cultivation pills of level 1 so that the girls could speed up their cultivation.
Potions were the same but there were also mana potions and some body refining potions that could aid Paul in his recovery and also strengthen his body.
After that the shopping trip came to an end as there was no magic shop in this small town and no scroll shop as well.
The trio went back to the Inn and they arrived just in time for dinner to be served.
