Chapter 121 - It Is Better To Be Overprepared

"Are you sure you wish to buy them all, my lady?" The shopkeeper stared at Re'Kha in shock. "Each of these darts has an elemental attribute."

"Yes," Re'Kha nodded, taking a glance at the 120 elemental darts before her. She felt a pinch for spending such a large sum of money, for each dart cost 1 RuQi. But, Re'Kha didn't wish to stint on the expenditure in this case.

After all, she planned to fight the Blinded Ghost, and the people part of a mysterious organisation that had unleashed the three Sha during the Early Water Month. Such preparations were a must if she wished to take on such a powerful foe.

After all, she only had 12 units of Elemental Qi. Two hand projections and she was done. Moreover, even though she had a lot of Magic Artifacts to use, they were close-ranged objects. She needed one that she could throw and damage the enemy.

The best for the job in long-range were the elemental arrows. And, for the medium range, she decided on the darts. It was easy for her to strap around 10 such darts on each of her thighs. Moreover, they were easy to use.

Every Harmoniser was trained to use them. But, very few actually used them, for a bow had a longer range while they subsisted with a spear or a whip for a shorter range. Only a small fraction of Harmonisers used the darts. But, it didn't mean they never used them.

All Harmonisers carried some elemental darts with them. After all, if they ran out of Elemental Qi while facing a Sha, the elemental darts would come in handy. Moreover, they also had an elemental weapon in their hands. It was the standard weapon every Harmoniser purchased.

It was something a Harmoniser could afford. Though, the quality of their elemental weapon varied depending on their foundation—the money they could afford to spend. The one Re'Kha had before also had some faint Elemental Qi Essence powder mixed into it. It was one of the highest quality elemental swords in the market. Though, it was shattered by the Blinded Ghost.

"Do you want them?" Re'Kha looked at Ki'Nua, seeing her nod.

"Sister, how many of them do you need? I'll take the rest."

"Hm," After a moment of thought, Re'Kha replied, "I will take 100 darts for now. You can take the remaining twenty. If we need more, we can always return to buy."

"Right?" She looked at the shopkeeper, seeing him nod in return.

He made a light bow, "We will restock within 10 days, my lady."

"Great," Re'Kha handed out a 100 RuQi coin as she took the box with the elemental darts. The shopkeeper also gave them two straps each to store the darts free of charge.

"Which shop takes custom orders for elemental weapons?" Re'Kha looked around, seeing that she had nothing else to buy in the dart shop. She only came for the elemental darts. She didn't plan on buying any normal ones.

"My lady, it depends on the type of elemental weapon you prefer. If it is a dart, we can customise one for you. If it is related to a sword, then the shop selling the swords would take a custom order." The shopkeeper replied.

"Thank you," Re'Kha and Ki'Nua exited the dart shop and walked along the open corridor, soon coming across a weapons shop that was the largest of them all. It covered an area equivalent to five other weapon shops.

Either they were influential or were the best of the bunch to have a large number of products. The moment they entered, they noticed how the customers in the shops were only Harmonisers. Most of them seemed to be from the Elemental Clans.

Re'Kha looked around, seeing that she was unable to recognise anyone from the Re Clan. She hadn't seen them before. And judging by their reactions to her, they didn't know her either. She hadn't visited the Burfuna Re Clan even once, so it wasn't odd she didn't know them.

Thankfully, none of them seemed to be those connected to her Burkurel Re Clan. Otherwise, they would have recognised her easily.

'That was an oversight on my part. I should have been more careful when coming across a Re Clansman.' Re'Kha sighed in relief, thanking her luck as she looked around, noticing how the weapons in this shop were of superior quality as compared to the rest. She also noticed a lot of elemental weapons, smiling as she noticed the blank spaces forming them were a lot sharper as compared to the elemental darts and arrowheads she had purchased.

As arrows and darts were consumable weapons, they weren't manufactured with too high a quality. After all, even a Harmoniser didn't wish to burn through money with every attack.

Re'Kha looked around, coming across a sword that she liked. As for Ki'Nua, she seemed the type to prefer sabres, so she was looking through them. The two of them were preparing for the eventual possibility that they might be pulled into the Withered Courtyard one day.

'Ki'Nua hasn't matured yet. There is a good chance something would happen on the day she matures. And, judging by what she said, the other two girls have already matured. And, she feels she might mature within the next couple of days.' She sighed, feeling that time was too short for her preparations.

But, after being there once, Re'Kha knew she had formed a connection with the Withered Courtyard. This was a definite trait with the Sha. They would mark every target they come across and were able to find them in the future easily.

So, she knew she would have to face it once again. And, considering how the first family of people she met after coming to Burfuna City was related to it, Re'Kha was assured she would be pulled into it one way or another. So, it was wise to be prepared beforehand.

Besides, it wasn't like buying them was any waste of money. Moreover, she had a fortune to spend. So, she had no qualms about her expenditure. It was better to be overprepared than to be underprepared.
