Chapter 213 Gearing Elanor Up

Arriving at the adventurers guild, the group made a detour to the auction house section to pick out a weapon for Elanor. They also sold the remaining elf cores they had which gave them plenty of money to get a high-class item.

[551 gold coins]

"Have a look through this tablet and if anything catches your eye let us know." Shaman passed over the stone tablet that was showing a detailed list of weapons.

"Geh, there are so many." Elanor saw the vast list and wondered how the hell she was going to choose.

"There is a small image of the weapon so just use that to see if it interests you." Elysia pointed to the small image of a sword and clicked it, enlarging the image.

"Guess I'll start looking." Elanor knew everyone was in a hurry so she was going to buy the first thing she liked,

<5 minutes>

Scrolling through the different weapons and looking at the images, Elanor finally found something that stuck out to her.

[Foldable fan blades]

"Ohh this looks good." Elanor clicked on the category and was met with a list of fans of varying grades.

"What did you find?" Shaman looked over Elanor's shoulder and was surprised to see the kind of weapon she chose.

"I like these fans, they are discreet but also deadly." Elanor imagined herself using them and was getting impressed by herself.

"Ah I'm not sure if that's a good idea, the fans are extremely hard to use." Kiruya, hearing the weapon Elanor chose, was sceptical as the fans were a very rare weapon to see.

"No, it's fine Kiruya." Shaman knew the system would be able to solve any issues that may occur and if her assumption was right, Elanor might have a blessing of a god related to fans.

"If you say so." Kiruya, being aware of the system, figured it had something to with it and the fans may not be as hard of a weapon as she thought.

"Alright, now let's choose a good one for a tier 7 dungeon, so at least you can defend yourself. Even if you are tier 4. Hell, having a strong weapon could even allow you to do some damage." Shaman planned to see how Elanor would fare against the basic mobs of the dungeon.

Elanor nodded her head and let Shaman scroll through the list of fan blades.

'Damn this is going to take all the gold we got from those elves.' Shaman knew it was going to be expensive, but it still didn't mean she was happy shelling out at least 400 gold for a suitable weapon.

Luckily though, the system allowed her to inspect the weapons from the images directly, providing the actual statistics of each weapon. A common thing she noticed about the higher-priced weapons is that they were labelled at the wrong rarity. Even if it said rare or epic, they were usually one rank below what they actually were.

However, next to the rarity enclosed in brackets was the weapon's potential, or at least that's what the action house claimed.

'Hmm, it seems like weapons can also evolve. These are from the dungeon so they must have some special properties… Wait, didn't we get a demon sword from the dungeon.' Shaman recalled the demon sword they got from the elf dungeon which was similar to Silvers.

'If my guess is right, it should shift to the desired weapon of the user and link itself with him. Silver did have the system though, so it's probably best I give Elanor the system before handing her the weapon. Don't want the demon that's inside taking over her mind.' Learning from Clara the potential origins of the demonic weapons, it was rather risky to hand the sword to Elanor.

'For now, I will buy this one that should be good enough for the dungeon and once we are inside we'll have her try the demon sword.' Shaman clicked on a rare fan blade that had the potential to become stronger and selected 'purchase'. It came to about 350 gold which was more affordable than the 400 to 500 price tag she saw on a lot of them.

Elanor was smiling seeing Shaman had picked out a weapon for her and couldn't wait to see it.

A female elf came walking out in a suit while holding the box that contained the fans. Shaman walked over, paid the gold needed and took the box.

Reaching out for the box, Elanor wanted to check out her new weapons immediately, but was quickly stopped by Shaman.

"You're not allowed to pull out weapons, so be a little more patient." Shaman didn't want to get kicked out if Elanor accidentally hit anyone, so it was better to wait until they were in the dungeon.

"Shaman! I got some clothes." Elysia, who vanished somewhere while they were looking for a weapon, came running back with clothes in her hands.

"What?" Shaman was confused at why Elysia went out to get some when they had plenty in their inventory.

"Well Elanor can't be fighting in that expensive dress, so I went ahead and got something more manoeuvrable." Elysia thought ahead and, having similar proportions to Elanor, did not struggle to get the right size.

"Good thinking Elysia, go get changed Elanor and then we can head inside." Kiruya didn't like the number of delays, but as long as they cleared the dungeon today she wouldn't mind as much.

Elanor took the clothes and left for the changing rooms at the back of the auction house.

*

Walking out of the changing rooms, Elanor saw everyone standing around waiting for her.

Elanor wore a white shirt that was tucked into her black pants and a corset that went around her stomach. The corset was made out of leather and was held together by some strings at the front. She also wore a small black cape which was lined with green.

"Oh wow, your fashion sense never fails Eli."

"Hehe~ thanks Shaman."

"Ooo you look great big sis Elanor."

"I expected something worse since it was Elysia, but it actually suits her well."

"Oi, what's that supposed to mean?" Elysia squinted at Clara for her off-hand comment, but it was also a compliment so she wasn't really annoyed.

"T-thank you." Elanor blushed, having never worn something like this before, and was happy it was received so positively.

"You look like a real adventurer now, speaking of which we need to get you registered and then we can enter." Kiruya wanted to get a move on, so with only one task left she tried to hurry everyone.

"Let's go." Shaman nodded and they made their way to the reception desk to get her registered. However, while the elf at the desk was checking the information he raised an eyebrow.

"What's the forgotten daughter of Aulfiem doing here registering?" Recognising the last name of Elanor, she froze in place hearing it.

"None of your business." Shaman spoke up while glaring at the man as there was no rule stating royalty can't sign up.

Grumbling, he finished the registration process, still giving Elanor a sour look.

"You can get out now." As the receptionist unceremoniously dismissed them Silver looked like he was on the verge of pouncing, but Elysia grabbed him by the hand as there was no point in bothering with him.

Moving on, they all walked towards the dungeon entrance and got in line to enter. Since they were entering at peak time, it took a while for the guards to check every person waiting to enter.

"Seems like the discrimination runs through the people as well." Clara thought it would have just been Elanor's family, but it seems that anyone who learns her identity shows quite a bit of disgust.

"It's only the older ones that hate me, the younger generation treats me nicely." Elanor, being used to such treatment knew how it was, but it still hurt every time it happened.

"Don't stress, you won't have to worry about that when we leave this place." Shaman placed her hand on Elanor's shoulder to reassure her that things will be different from now on.

"Sheesh, you're going to make me cry." Elanor felt herself getting emotional again, but she knew that it wasn't the time for it.

"Oop sorry." Shaman didn't mean to get Elanor all emotional and instantly stopped as she didn't want to make a scene.

Moving forward in the line, it was finally their turn to get checked. Inspecting the party's adventurer records, the guards were concerned about Elanor going in as she was tier 4.

"Are you sure?" The guards knew the other girls were strong, but bringing in someone that weak would be a burden. There was also the fact she was royalty, but the guards didn't care as like Elanor said, the younger ones were not discriminatory.

"We will be fine, Kiruya here watches over us and will protect her if things go wrong." Shaman explained to the guards the situation and they nodded their heads while letting them through.

"Stay safe then." Confident that Elanor would not recklessly die due to the power gap, they were fine letting her in.

Walking inside, they made it to the usual dirt path that led to the small town of elves.

"Now that we are here, I have a gift for you Elanor." Shaman opened up her system menu and verified that the notification that Elanor was eligible for a system was still there.
