Davis was startled to see them back at the house so quickly after leaving. That wasn’t long enough for a full clear of the Dungeon at all.
"There is a Guild Cooldown timer, and the beasts trigger it as well. So, we had to wait. But we made a little detour, and found an interesting thing." Karl explained, not going into detail, as there was a customer in the shop, a young warrior with some sort of badge on his shirt.
Karl guessed that it was an employer tag, marking employees of the company. The boy didn’t have a Guild Tag, but he did have the look of someone who had seen things that most teens didn’t.
That was a look that Karl was familiar with.
He was doing mental calculations, so it was likely to afford one of the cheaper rings.
Karl noticed that there were now Ascended Rank wooden rings in the case, as well as Commander. But Loros had gone in a very different direction than what Karl had been teaching them yesterday.
Instead of combat runes, she had made functional inscriptions that had translated surprisingly well to system stats.
[Ring of Cleaning] Creates a vortex around the ring that draws in loose debris and dust from up to five metres away.
Alright, maybe she had just gotten frustrated after dropping a small piece, or constantly cleaning her space.
But there were other functional ones after that.
[Ring of Refill] fills a container under one litre in size with water
[Ring of Cleanliness] rinses the user with a veil of water from head to toe
They were expensive for people who made Ascended Rank wages. But for an adventurer or caravan guard? Some of those would be fantastically useful.
She wasn’t a powerful Demon, and nobody in the city really needed combat skills at Ascended Rank. However, those useful items would make life so much better that keeping a few of them for employees or on a trip was worth it.
A young mage came in, in Academy robes, and ran over to the case where the young warrior was standing. Then he smiled and pointed at the [Ring of Refill].
"Good Sir, how much for that ring?" He asked.
"The Ascended Rank functional items are two gold coins each." Davis explained.
That really was a lot for an ordinary worker. But the student smiled and nodded.
"If you would, please. I will take that ring."
The boy placed out stacks of silver coins on the counter, and Davis slid two back to him.
"You miscounted, dear customer. Thank you for your patronage."
Presumably, the restriction on items was intended to make the students work together, but self-sufficiency was always an option if you had enough resources or skills. ƒreewebɳovel.com
