After seeing the excitement of Rae and the dressmaker, Karl stopped at the door.
"Why don’t I go take care of the work part of the day, and you ladies can try on dresses in peace?" He suggested.
"Oh, good idea. We can make it a surprise for you later." Rae agreed.
Tessa waved him off and pulled Ophelia further into the store, which had everything from travelling cloaks to evening gowns on display in multiple colours. All of which were exquisitely made.
As he walked away, he heard the dressmaker gasp as Rae slapped a few gems on the counter and insisted that she close the shop until they were done. She didn’t want her work interrupted.
Karl headed straight for the stall that had the Mana Jade accessories, and found that today the stock was even better. The green and purple jade accessories had been joined by a bunch of white jade rings with red streaks.
If Karl’s guess was right, those should accept Monarch Rank Runes. The purple ones had flooded with power when they reached Royal Rank, and these ones perfectly matched Monarch Rank Runes.
"Sir, welcome back. Did your lady friend like the gift?" The demon girl at the stand asked.
"Indeed she did. But I am back here for business reasons this time. You see, I am a Runesmith."
Karl was about to continue, but the demon gasped and surged to her feet.
"Sir, please follow me into the house." She insisted, already starting to fold the sides of her stall down.
Karl shrugged and let her finish the work, then activate a charm to lock the stand, with an "On Lunch, back soon" sign.
Karl followed her up the stairs to a tiny apartment over the shop behind her stall.
Only once they were inside, and she had cast a silence spell over the room, did she speak again.
"Is it true, you’re a Runesmith, a real one?" She demanded.
Karl nodded. "I would show you the results of the other accessories, but the ladies are shopping for dresses." freēwēbηovel.c૦m
The Shopkeeper took out one of the white and red rings from a box on the table, and Karl saw that she was making them herself, with chips of stone and dust everywhere in the one - room space.
Karl extended a claw from his bestial form and looked her over. The shopkeeper was a Warrior Class, so he made a warrior type Rune. Feline Agility and Titanic Strength.
Then he slowly upgraded the Runes until they turned red to match the veins in the ring.
The same feeling of saturation, where the runes tried to merge with the stone, happened when it hit Monarch Rank. Karl stopped then, and handed the ring over to the artist.
"See, if you put it on, it will bond, and you can use your system interface to examine the stats." He explained.
She looked panicked at those words.
