CHAPTER 66
“It’s fine…How does money work?”
The man raised his brows and looked at ‘the young master’ questioningly, still somewhat stunned to their red, dazzling eyes, “Money?”
…No money here? Then what do they use for…
“Currency?”
“Oh! I beg your pardon young master, we use the word ‘sum’.”
Sum?
“…How do I get…Sum?”
Haha sum of this, sum of that…Come get sum!
My eyes held some kind of sarcasm in them and I gave a smile to my inner thoughts.
Honestly, the circus inside of my head needed to calm down, sum…
With this, I let out a small laugh and shook my head.
I’m such an idiot! Focus!
My strange att.i.tude did not help the man at all! Still wondering about those strange, red eyes, and then to see me laugh to nothing, made him somewhat start to fret…
Am I talking to somebody sane?
Having seen me eye him normally again, the ‘banker’ swallowed and asked, “Young master doesn’t know about ‘sum’?”
I had a bad feeling about this. “…No.”
Hoping that he could still get something sold, and being a relatively good person, the man tried to act normal, “Then young master must follow me and this one will show you. Now, there are two different ore stones that can have ‘sum’ in them, one is for your own personal use, that lets only you use it with your own spiritual essence…”
“Old man…”
My eyes glowed a spectacular red, to my impatience, making the poor person trying to help me, even more scared.
I looked at the big plaque on the wall and pointed at it. “Does this say, what you are about to tell me?”
When I looked at the old shopkeeper, I saw his eyes sparkle and he nodded his head, “Yes, young master. But this old thing is quite…”
I reach out and used my strength, to pull the plaque off the wall.
“Young…Young Master you can’t do that!”
I sighed and said, “Here…And I’ll clean it, before I bring it back!”
Leaving a few skins behind and one small nucleus, I put the big plaque into my ‘storage’, once I had run out of view, and then I teleported away.
Learning about…Sum…And paying these people back, will just have to wait…Sum time soon! Haha!
After my…Leave, from the ‘bank’, the ‘banker’ sighed heavily and sat down.
That ‘young master’ was so scary! I’m glad it’s over!
After breathing normal again, he looked down at the gifts, that I had left, and raised his eyebrows in surprise…
This!
Seeing such skins made him very happy again!
Everything was worth it, and he would even do it all again!
Upon seeing the nucleus, though. He wasn’t even sure what it was and just put it into a safe place. Remembering that the ‘young master’ had said that they would return, he will ask him then, what it was.
Having such a story to tell, this man told his family when he returned home, and his wife began the strange, unbelievable rumour, that a red eyed ‘young master’ had come to town. They didn’t say anything about the gifts that I had left, but my strange att.i.tude was attached to the rumour as well…
A black figure emerged from the blackness of night, to slightly show himself in front of another figure in a courtyard.
Unknowingly to him, another figure was close by, and began to watch him closely, with his golden eyes.
The courtyard seemed rather lavish, silk was seen throughout and beautified candlesticks. Famous Art works and tapestries filled the courtyard, making it look a bit like a museum. Light, touching music played in the background to make this place feel very leisurely, and there were people talking.
The other figure in the courtyard, saw this black figure emerge, but didn’t move from his high chair, that was surrounded by a couple of women.
The figure in black hid himself, and waited out of sight.
Listening to the women fawn over this one sitting on the chair, the black figure raised his eyebrows.
“Your Highness, after Consort Day plays for you, may I sing for you?”
“My dear, after Consort Day finishes her song, this Prince will leave and come back momentarily, then this Prince will hear you sing!”
“Thank you, Your Highness!”
After the music stopped playing, the man on the chair got up and repeated that he would come back in just a moment, and walked away.
The black figure followed him to a secluded place, and came out to show himself again.
“What did you find?”
