Magic Shop System

Chapter 94 - Preparations



The time passed. Everyone was eager for the upcoming event. They were immersed in the preparations. Elora was brewing potions with her all might. Sometimes Zelie would come and help her. Her attitude had improved a lot and from an acquaintance, she had become Elora's friend. While in the other hall, Hot Rod worked with his son and Melvona, forging all kinds of artefacts. His speed was almost eye-popping. 

After all, he was a Rank 1 Artisan, forging Elementary Rank artefacts was nothing for him. It was only when he forged Common Rank artefacts would he struggle. He would even fail from time to time. However, Kadyn had provided five to six kinds of Common Rank metals and in quite a large quantity. 

He had purchased them from the Virtual Shop. In the beginning, when Hot Rod saw the heap of Common Rank metals he was left completely dumbstruck. He realised that they were the same metals that Kadyn had taken from him but in much larger quantities. However, he didn't dare to ask Kadyn anything.

On the other hand, Kadyn spent his days slouching on his chair, handling customers. In the night he meditated and fought in the Practice Hall and studied Formation Building. He had awakened ten stars of most of the elements. Only Space, Summoning, and Psychic had yet to awaken the tenth star. Kadyn worked hard to awaken their tenth star in the meantime, but his main focus was to assimilate other elements with the Blessing Pool.

While others were working hard Khrom didn't stay idle. He was the one who dealt with the herb suppliers and metals suppliers in the city. After all, Kadyn couldn't waste his energy points on buying low-level metals that he could easily get in the city. And it was Khrom who dealt with this matter. 

Of course, Kadyn didn't let him do all the work for free. He had earned quite a few energy points in this time. Furthermore, his Loyalty had reached 15% if it wasn't for the energy points he would have already advanced to the Bronze Rank Employee.

Elora's condition wasn't much different from Khrom either. Her Loyalty was already at an eye-popping level of 90%, but due to the lack of Energy Points, she could not advance. However, even then, she had already reached the Bronze Rank from Iron. After all, her speed of earning the points was far greater than Khrom while her Loyalty was already at such a strikingly high level.

"We are leaving tomorrow," Khrom said as he stood in front of Kadyn. Then went on. "I have talked with Leader Barret, he said that Patriarch Irabel himself is going to accompany the caravan this time."

"He is going himself?" Kadyn asked in surprise. 

"He usually does not accompany them to the Orddono. However, the attacks of bandits have become quite frequent in this period. He doesn't want to lose his precious valuable so he decided to go himself." Khrom explained in a confident tone. He seemed to know everything about the city.

"How're our preparations?" he turned towards Hot Rod who stood not far away from  Khrom. "I hope we have enough artefacts for the gathering and of the finest quality."

"I can assure you that our product can be counted as one of the best qualities in the gathering." Hot Rod said and wiped the sweat trickling over his forehead.

"That's good, then." He said and then looked at the small silhouette behind the artisan and asked. "How's she doing?"

Hot Rod tilted his head and looked at Melvona and said with a hint of admiration. "She is a genius." He looked at his son and grunted in dissatisfaction. "She has already surpassed this stupid son of mine. He just knows how to use my reputation to flaunt his status. Good for nothing!"

Dion turned red at his father's berating. He lowered his head and dared not to look up due to shame. Kadyn smiled at this. "Oh, you can't say this." Then he went on. "The best example is me. You can ask around if you don't believe me. I was good for nothing as well in the beginning. But see, now even you are working under me. 

"Some people just have a slow start or they are just slow. However, it doesn't mean they can't reach the peak of their profession. What matters is the steady pace, maintain it, and who knows what surprises are waiting for you in the future."

"I never thought I would hear such wise words from a brain dead person like you." At this moment a sarcastic voice sounded in Kadyn's head.

Kadyn, however, just rolled his eyes and ignored the comment. He had become accustomed to his mocking, almost immune. On the other hand, Hot Rod heard Kadyn's reply and said sheepishly. "I would be content if he could compare even the tenth part of sir Kadyn."

Dion also stared at Kadyn with curious eyes. He never had a good impression of Kadyn, even some rebellious thoughts were breeding inside his head. However he never thought that Kadyn would speak for him. For the first time ever, some goodwill appeared in his heart for Kadyn.

After that Kadyn once more turned towards his sister and focused his gaze at the innocent face beside her. Elora saw his gaze and shook her head. "He failed to awaken. He is just a normal human, just like his mother." She glanced at Kove and felt pity for the child. 

Kove lowered his head and a few drops of tears fell from his eyes. Everyone was magus here, it was just him and his mother that could not use magic. He felt insignificant in front of these people. 

Though he was just about five or six years old, the hunger and hardship he went through previously, had matured the kid quite a bit. He knew that magus were the ruler of the world. He wanted to become one himself, make his mom proud. Alas… 

Elora saw his crestfallen expression and hugged the kid in her embrace. "Don't cry. It was just the first time we tested, so we can try again. I'm sure you will be able to awaken." 

Kadyn looked at the kid and shook his head in pity as he knew that once someone failed to awaken he would never succeed.
