Magic Shop System

Chapter 31 - Crimson Ore

"Alright. Let's assume you're correct. Then why the hell dragon assailed and annihilated over ten cities of the Magic Association? Although Association isn't that powerful—it's still a force to be reckoned with. Even Zephyr would think twice before doing something extreme. After all if the higher-ups of the Association were determined. They could certainly pose a threat to him. Even though they would pay a heavy price in the end.

"The one more noticeable thing is that the Ice Crowned Hills are far away from the Association. Why would he come here to ask for trouble? Reason. There must be a reason behind it. What is that?"

Many others objected to the claim of the first kid. The boy fell silent at their questioning. He could find no word to retort them, and his face flushed in embarrassment.

"Next!"

Just when the boy was contemplating the matter, Kadyn's voice reached his ears—shaking the distraction out of his mind, he proceeded towards the counter.

Kadyn glanced at the kid and asked. "What's your name?"

The boy eyed Kadyn in bewilderment. Kadyn never cared about asking anyone's name before. So why was he asking his name? A confused expression emerged on his features, but he still replied with some hesitation. "Banut."

"So Banut… umm… can you tell me more about this dragon?" Kadyn asked with shining eyes. He was very interested in knowing about them.

Can I also become a dragon rider one day?

How cool is it to have a dragon as a familiar?

I wonder if there are people in this world who have dragons as their companions?

Or dragons are eccentric existences who never cares about worldly matters?

Kadyn shook his head in the end. No matter what was true, he would know in the future. He again turned his focus to Banut.

Banut's face reddened at Kadyn's question. In reality, the legendary creature-like dragon was beyond his understanding—he was lucky enough to hear two officials in the Magic Association branch—the Avibria City—talking about it. To show off, he blurted the information in front of everyone.

He never thought Kadyn would be interested in knowing about it. He knew nothing and was as clueless as anyone else. To avoid further complications, the kid told the truth.

Although Kadyn felt regretful about hearing his answer. Kadyn's impression of Banut improved a great deal. In this world, people would make all kinds of lies and stories to save their faces. On the contrary, this boy told him the truth without caring much about it, although he was a little foolish as he tried to use such news to gain some face—but who wouldn't show off if they had such information?

He wasn't a cheap guy who would go to any length just to prove himself right, and Kadyn liked him and his honesty.

Kadyn proceeded towards other customers after sending the kid—when it was the fourth person, he saw a familiar face. "What are you doing here?" Kadyn yelled in a cold tone. His eyes squinted and fist clenched. He had never thought she would have a face—or courage—to come here after being humiliated by him.

"Why can't I be here?" Jenna said with a gentle smile. Despite that, Kadyn could sense malicious intention hidden behind her sexy frown—Jenna curled her lips at his reaction and continued. "This is a shop. Its purpose is to provide service to the customers. Are you trying to deny my entry here?"

Kadyn glanced at other people queuing behind her and his face turned colder. This bitch was doing this on purpose—if he were to deny her entry at this moment, all the customers would have a negative impression of his shop.

She would accuse him of being biased towards certain individuals—many rumours would emerge. Some might stop coming to impress beauty. Most of the men think with their dicks when a beautiful woman is involved in any matter.

Although he has changed a bit after coming to this world. He was still indecisive and wanted no further to escalate the matter. So he took her money and let her enter the Meditation Room.

He knew what she was planning to do. Kadyn curled his lips in disdain. However his breath became hurried when his gaze fell on her slim waist and round perky butt, shaking left and right as she hurried towards the Meditation Room.

Should I cuckold that bastard Fenon by fucking Jenna in front of him?

Kadyn shook his head immediately as this thought appeared. Though she was a bitch through and through. She didn't deserve that kind of treatment. However, if push comes to shove, he won't regret doing it. He was indecisive, not a coward or stupid, whom anyone could trample under their feet.

It took him some time to deal with all the customers. Then he went to the Potion Hall—Kadyn found his sister was completely focused on brewing potion. She didn't even realise that someone had entered the hall. Indeed, a hard-working girl.

Kadyn shook his head and walked towards the corner of the hall—where he discovered the crimson stone. Taking it in hand, Kadyn murmured. "Blountine~"

When he absorbed the [Elementary Artisan Knowledge] Kadyn gained vast knowledge about the Metals and ores and other stuff. This stone was an ore of Blountine. That could use to make a [Top Grade Elementary Artefact].

However the quantity of the ore was too little. Also, he needed to extract impurities from the ore. At that time, it would become even smaller. He won't be able to make any weapon with it. Not even a small dagger.

Just as his thoughts reached this point, his eyes lit up, and he slapped his forehead. "How did I forget this?"

Without wasting time, Kadyn dashed out of the Potion Hall and scuttled towards the Artisan Hall.

After entering he glanced around and saw a slightly protruded ground at the centre of the hall. A furnace had been built there—it looked similar to the smithy on the earth but bigger. He saw no fire inside, though. The coal laded at the corner, a hammer and other mini instruments on the other side. He examined a few boxes that laid there, chemicals contained within them. He knew it was used for separating the impurities from the ores.

Then his gaze fell on the three glass containers on the other side of the furnace. The smallest was like the beaker, the second was about the size of a bucket and the final container was as big as a water tanker—they used to melt the ore or metal inside them. The metal won't stick inside these containers.

He was glad that so many amazing things the system has given him for free.

When he neared the furnace, he found frames of all kinds. There was a frame of a sword, dagger, bow, arrow, and many others. These things were only for apprentices—to help them reform the ores or metals into a specific shape and sizes—a veteran won't need these things.
