Chapter 36
The shopkeeper asked, “How many pieces of paper do you need? The inscription papers are graded too.
What type are you looking…”
“I need ten of the cheapest ones,” Rebbeca answered without waiting for the shopkeeper to finish his sentence.
Rebbeca did not have much money at the moment.
After buying the inscription brush and papers, he needed to purchase engraving materials.
Hence, Rebbeca had to save up.
It appeared as if the shopkeeper expected Rebbeca’s request, and he took out a pile of yellowed but firm square paper, saying, “The cheapest ones are level one inscription papers, and they cost ten fedulings per piece.
Since you’re getting ten, that’s a hundred fedulings.”
The price was within Rebbeca’ s expectation, so he was not overly surprised.
After paying the money, Rebbeca took the papers and checked them.
The level one inscription papers were cut in squares, and each piece was only the size of two palms together.
Moreover, when Rebbeca felt the paper, he sensed a strange force on the surface, as if there was an air current floating on it.
Later, the shopkeeper asked, “Sir, do you still need the lightning inscription? It’s slightly expensive.NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.
May I know what type of weapon you want to engrave the inscription on?”
Rebbeca gave it a thought and replied, “It’s a fourth-grade long spear, but I didn’t bring it with me today.”
“Once a lightning inscription is activated, it’ll release thunder and lightning that can paralyze your opponent in an instant.
Therefore, the most suitable weapons for it will be any knife or sword, and the effect might not be as good on a long spear.”
Then, the shopkeeper continued, “As the lightning inscription is an inscription for additional attributes, its price will be higher than those inscriptions that are used to increase the weapon’s original attributes.
It will cost five hundred fedulings for each paper.”
Even though Rebbeca was prepared, he still could not help but gasp when he heard the price.
The price was higher than the inscription brush that he just purchased!
Nonetheless, Rebbeca’s original intention was not to buy that lightning inscription but to determine the price.
Now that he found that out, his purpose was achieved.
Rebbeca waved his hand to indicate that he did not need the lightning inscription and left the Oceans Chamber of Commerce with the inscription brush and papers he purchased.
The shopkeeper waited until Rebbeca was far away before snorted disdainfully, “He’s broke, yet he wants to practice inscriptions.
He‘s just another guy with an unrealistic dream, wanting to earn a lot of money through inscriptions! I’m afraid there’s only regret waiting for him!”
After walking out of the Oceans Chamber of Commerce, Rebbeca made his way toward other shops.
In Evergreen Town, only the Oceans Chamber of Commerce had inscription masters.
However, it was not the only place that sold inscription materials.
After all, materials for drafting low-level inscriptions were not rare.
Some of them were everyday items.
Rebbeca walked into one shop and purchased a few items.
Then, he wandered around and entered another shop and bought a few things.
About an hour later, Rebbeca carried more bulging paper bags than before.
Each bag was filled with engraving inscription materials.
The few bags might appear light, but Rebbeca finished his remaining three hundred fedulings on them.
At this moment, Rebbeca was once again broke.
However, Rebbeca did not seem dejected.
His gaze was filled with expectation and excitement.
There was a reason why he asked the Oceans Chamber of Commerce’s shopkeeper the price of a piece of lightning inscription.
Through the memory he inherited from the Tower of Life, Rebbeca mastered three types of inscriptions.
One of them was the lightning inscription.
The other was a shape-shifting inscription, which could change the user’s appearance, and the last one was a weight inscription that could be used to increase the weight of a weapon.
Rebbeca was doing quick math in his mind.
“I spent one hundred and twenty fedulings on the materials for a lightning inscription.
If I included the cost of the inscription papers, it’s only one hundred and thirty fedulings.
However, a lightning inscription is priced at five hundred fedulings.
I can earn three hundred and seventy fedulings when I sell it, and I’ll earn about three times the profit!”
At the thought of that, Rebbeca got more excited.
He wanted to return to the Lawrence Manor immediately and start drawing the inscription.
Just as he walked home, Rebbeca heard a sudden commotion from the street in the distance.
He looked in the direction and noticed that the ruckus was coming from the Oceans Chamber of Commerce
A gorgeous carriage stopped at the Oceans Chamber of Commerce’s entrance.
People were swarming the area and shouting, but it was unknown what they were discussing.
Rebbeca only took a glance, but he was instantly attracted by the six snow-white horses in charge of pulling the carriage.
The six big horses were as white as snow, and their fur was well kept Moreover, their coats were glowing under the sun, and no one could directly look at them without hurting their eyes.
However, the most eye-catching part was each of the white horses had a single red born the size of an adult’s palm on their head.
The single horn made the white horses appear more elegant and majestic.
‘Crimson-horned unicorns!’ Rebbeca was stunned.
Rebbeca saw a crimson-horned unicorn before as they had one in Salleria.
Nonetheless, it was also precisely why Rebbeca knew how precious the unicorn was and how hard it was to tame them.Besides, even with the power of the Salleria’s royal family, they only managed to raise one unicorn, and it was only shown during the national ancestor veneration.
On other days, Rebbeca could not see the unicorn.
However, the carriage in front of the Oceans Chamber of Commerce was pulled by six crimson-horned unicorns, and it instantly piqued Rebbeca’ s curiosity.
He wondered who could be in the carriage.
When the carriage stopped, someone soon got out of it.
Nonetheless, as too many people were surrounding the scene to look at the crimson-horned unicorns, and Rebbeca stood quite far away, he could only see a swaying white figure walking into the Oceans Chamber of Commerce through the crowd.
He could tell that the person seemed to be a woman, but Rebbeca was uncertain of her age and appearance.
‘Forget it.
What does that person have to do with me? The world is humongous.
As long as I ascend into the Pulse Control Realm or even a higher realm, owning six crimson-horned unicorns will be as easy as pie.’ Rebbeca shook his head and walked through the crowd, continuing his journey home.
When Rebbeca reached the Lawrence Manor, it was already past lunchtime.
Nevertheless, the servant noticed that he was not at home and placed his meal on the stone table in his courtyard.
The food was still warm.
Rebbeca hurriedly finished his food and returned to the room.
Then, he shut the door tightly and entered the Time Warp Zone.
Later, Rebbeca neatly arranged the inscription brush, papers, and other materials that he purchased just now in front of him.
Next, he recalled the three inscriptions he mastered and decided to start on the shape-shifting inscription.
Just as the Oceans Chamber of Commerce’s shopkeeper said, inscriptions were also divided into nine levels, and each level was divided into high, middle, and low ranks.
The shape-shifting inscription did not help enhance the weapon’s power, but it could change the user’s appearance.
Hence, it was easier to draw, and it was considered a level one low-rank inscription.
Although Rebbeca had enough theoretical knowledge, he lacked practice.
Thus, Rebbeca decided to familiarize himself with the shape-shifting inscription first.
