Chapter 79 - 79

Their group draws a lot of attention as they pass through the market headed for the hall to trade their items and buy books. Lickity is a local celebrity, partially due to the fashion forced upon her by the Succubus class, and partially due to her high quality items, while Cixelcid is popular for leading runs through the dungeon to level up transfers.

After yesterday's events, and now seeing them without Guild protection, it's causing a lot of curiosity, especially about who they've got with them as protectors. Cixelcid is known to be level 61, about ready to move on from Karmazin City anyhow, but the Human man and twin demons with him are even higher level. Did he call in reinforcements from another city?

"Greetings, and welcome to the Karmazin Trade hall. How may I help you today?" The demoness working the counter asks, having been hastily reassigned from the back rooms when the manager saw multiple demons coming in with a group.

"We have a large number of level 65 magical and epic items to trade, plus a couple of Legendary ones. We would like to purchase a number of skill books and trade the rest for coin or other useful items." Cain explains and the young Demoness' eyes light up.

"They're on commission." Lickity whispers trying to hold in her laughter.

"First up, I heard you've got [Acid Rain] and [Lightning Arrow] books. If you've got two of the Acid Rain books I'll take both. One lightning Arrow is fine. Plus two copies of [Cleave] if you've got it in a ranger compatible book." Cain lists the essentials of what they need so far.

"Let me check on Acid Rain. We might only have the one, it is an A Ranked book, even if it costs so much mana very few care to use it." The counter clerk says, running to the back room and returning with an arm load of books before anyone can come steal her spot and her sale.

"Yes, we've got everything you need. What do you have in trade?" she asks, placing them in a locked box under the counter.

Cain guesses the value of the items he has, based on the value of them in Sunnybrook and puts down all the blue quality magical items, plus half the epic items.

"We can start with this, and I will add what you need to get to the value of my necessary purchases, then we can move on to the rest." The clerk is all business, checking stats against a book and sorting items on a big table behind her before calling over an appraiser to verify.

"You're still a bit short of what we'll need for the books, Grade A skills are precious." The Appraiser says in a conciliatory tone and Cain puts two more epic cloth items on the counter. The man looks them over with a nod and brings out a parchment, using a spell to add the details of their trade before passing it over for Cain's signature.

It all looks in order, so Cain signs and the clerk passes over the book, bouncing happily in her seat.

"No wonder everyone likes you. You do deals worth more than the Guild house just to clear out everyone's inventory." Kone laughs and the appraiser looks shocked.

"Alright, now into the good part." Cain says and the appraiser stops walking away to look at him instead.

"I would like a set of jewelry that increases smithy skill. Another set that increases Tailoring, and to take a look at any Area Attack, Bleed or Poison type skills you have for Rangers and Shamans. Plus anything at all you have for Clerics." Cain instructs, setting the rest of the epic items on the counter along with the few legendary items deemed irredeemably bad or useless to the Guild by Misha and Dimnys.

The appraiser waves for the clerk to get a move on while he examines the trade items.

"All we have for bleed and Poison is [Poison Arrow], if you need it. You bought the Shaman Area attack books we had already. We've got two [Critical Healing] and one [Blind] spell book that can be used by Cleric though. They're all Rank D, but they're cleric books." The clerk says, wondering if someone that powerful will still need cleric books that can be learned at the academy.

"I have Poisoned Arrows already, but I'll take all the cleric books. How are we looking on price?"

"Over 80 percent of this batches price remains. Would you like anything else?" The appraiser asks hopefully.

"Books for mage, rogue and warrior." Cain says firmly and the clerk looks sad.

"We, uh, we sold out of them yesterday, with the Guild war and all."

That makes sense, the most popular classes bought out everything before the huge battle and recruitment.

"Do you have the gold to cover the remainder? The other members will have to do their shopping later." Cain sighs.

"We do, with all the book sales yesterday we're still very well stocked on Gold." The clerk confirms, and a notification pops up asking Cain if he'd like to accept a large sum directly to the Guild Bank, which he confirms.

"Thank you for your business!" The Demonic clerk waves happily as the group stands up to clear the counter for the next group in line, who is staring at them in awe.

"Here, Cleave and Critical Healing for you. Cleave, Acid Rain and Lightning Arrow for me." Cain says, Passing over the books for Kone before using his own and putting the rest in the Guild bank with a note about what was already spent on who, so someone could sort out the distribution of funds. Misha is good at that, maybe she would do it before he had to beg, Cain hoped.

"I can use your Cleave skill." Vala says softly so the others don't hear and Cain smiles. That's exactly what he was hoping for. If his other melee summons can do the same it will be incredible.

"Oh, Cleave is a passive in bear form." Kone exclaims a bit louder than intended then covers her mouth.

"Good find young Druid.." Cixelcid congratulates her, Patting her head.
