Chapter 133: Equipment (1/2)

After coming to an agreement, Theo tried to move around the store while testing his new equipment before telling Nart everything was good.

Suddenly, a white spear grabbed his attention. It had this white metal handle with some flower patterns that could put him in a trance. The blade was similar to what he had right now, so he thought he would be able to get this spear for his clone to use.

Taking the spear out of the shelf, Theo went to the counter and handed the spear to Nart. ”I would like to buy this spear.”

”Now that you are here, you also need the night vision glasses, right?” Nart asked while grabbing the glasses from the drawer next to him.

He presented it on the table, which seemed to have the same appearance as Alea's.

'It must be the same model,' Theo thought and nodded. ”Yes. How much is it?”

”Ehm… Are you sure?” Nart tilted his head in confusion with a hesitant face.

”Why do you ask?” Theo didn't understand it at first, but when he saw Alea's awkward expression, he realized the price might be beyond his expectation. ”Before that, can I know the price first?”

”It's 250,000 Zils.”

”…” Theo was speechless when he heard the ridiculous price.

”These glasses are the newest model with innovative technology. It can enhance the light reflected by the moonlight by twenty times, allowing you to see the world like during the day. That's why it's so expensive. You can also use the basic function if you go somewhere that doesn't have access to sunlight.” He explained where the ridiculous price came from.

Theo scratched the back of his head, asking, ”Can I rent it instead?”

”Ahaha…” Nart chuckled and said, ”No, no. You don't need to give me anything. Since you said you are going to take care of my granddaughter, you can consider these glasses as your payment. If you think you can't accept it, then you can return it to me after completing the task. How about it?”

Theo widened his eyes, staring at Nart for a while. He wanted to know whether Nart had a hidden intention or not, but he seemed to be pretty genuine.

After considering a few pros and cons, he nodded. ”I understand.”

”Ah, by the way, you still need to pay for the spear, okay?” Nart chuckled and continued, ”It's 38,000 Zils.”

Theo nodded and transferred the money to him.

It took them one hour to settle everything, including Alea's equipment. But they got so much from Nart, so Theo didn't mind spending that much time.

Theo took a chance to wave his hand to Nart to say goodbye as well as tell him he was grateful for his gifts.

Outside the store, Alea tapped his shoulder.

Halting his step, Theo turned around and asked, ”Do you need anything?”

”Actually, I have something to tell you. I don't know much, but I am afraid our journey won't be that smooth. There is a few disturbing news in this area. As you know, our country has two portals, right?”

Theo nodded. ”This one is a low-level one. The monsters here are only Hero Rank or below. That's why it's perfect for building the school here.”

”Exactly, but when you take the monster we faced when the earthquake happened…” She let out a long sigh. ”It's going to be complicated.”

”Do you mean there are a few more monsters like that lurking in this place?” Theo asked.
