The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 780

Davis stared at the sacks of gold coins on the counter in awe.

"This is absolutely insane. We’re not even fully open yet, and the shop is already rolling in cash." He stammered.

Tessa looked at the bags. "You don’t need to verify and count that?"

Davis shook his head and smiled. "I awakened the Merchant Class. I can tell how much money is in a bag with a glance, and whether any of the coins are forgeries at a level lower than my own.

But those two are from the Castle, I’ve seen them around dozens of times and I know where they live."

That was good enough for Tessa.

A few minutes later, a curious guardsman came in the front gate, and waved as he stepped in to look around the new shop next to his duty station.

He looked around at the expensive magical jewellery, then stopped at the ’box of random stuff’, as Cara was calling the loot drop case, and inspected a few items.

"I don’t suppose that you have any loose gems, do you? My wedding band lost its stone, and I would like to have a jeweller fix it before my wife notices." He asked.

None of the items had a suitable stone in them, and there was no obvious junk in the shop.

Karl nodded. "Indeed I do. They’re not part of the usual stock, but I can have our team repair your ring as well and get it back to you before your shift ends, if you’re just starting."

The Guard smiled. "It used to have a small emerald in it. Well, a fake emerald. An Earth Stone. If you’ve got something that shade and perfectly round, I would appreciate it."

{Loros, please come to the shop for a repair request.} Karl sent a System Message.

She came running, and the Guard relayed the information. Then Karl held out a selection of the smallest green Earth Stones that he could find. The Giants didn’t usually keep bits of stone that small.

"That colour is perfect. How much?" He asked.

Karl looked to Davis, who sent him a subtle message.

{That’s an Awakened Grade stone, and it’s flawed. Even if you had Loros cut it, a silver coin would be all it’s worth for the effort.}

Karl patted the Guard on the shoulder with his empty hand. "Don’t worry about it. This one’s on the house. Wedding rings are important, and it’s not a powerful magic stone."

Building goodwill with their neighbours in the city guard was never the wrong answer.

Loros had the stone polished out to the right size and mounted, with the ring repaired and returned to its owner half an hour later.

Just in time for them to get another customer, an elegantly dressed Overlord Ranked Demoness with a kind smile and an aura that shouted ’I come from money’.

Davis had just stepped to the back to grab a drink, so Karl bowed to the customer and smiled.

"Good morning. Is there anything in particular that you are looking for?"

The woman gave him a genuine smile in return and looked around the shop.

"I have heard from a little bird that you do not just sell magical items, but you can custom craft them." She began.

Well, that narrowed down the suspects.

Then Davis stepped out of the back and bowed deeply. "Madam Shin, it is an honour to have you in our shop. Thank you for your kindness to my mother."

{She’s the Governor’s wife.} Davis informed the others, using the Guild exclusive function of the messages.

Madam Shin turned her smile on the black winged fallen angel. "Little Davis, I didn’t know that you were working here. I was having tea with Midwife Musa yesterday, and she told me that the man who took over this place was the one that made her a custom fertility charm.

I was hoping to have something made for my anniversary."

Karl chuckled. "Lady Rae is a Monarch-Ranked Bloodbath Spider, and a member of my group. I am certain that she will gladly assist with this project." _{freewēbnoveℓ.com}
