Soon, the moon came, dimly lighting the surrounding in a silver hue.
Aur had a frown on his face.
"That bastard still hasn't arrived yet." He looked around at the few people who were still staying at the place with very many people in sight. Aur started to doubt the authenticity of that notebook.
"Are there some variables I am missing?"
However, just then, a man tentatively made his way through the crowd. MVLeMpYr-com-story
His clothes were all dirty and patched up as well as his messy hair. He looked like a beggar.
However, seeing the beggar, Aur's eyes lit up instead.
"Finally, Sebastian is here." He mused, however, still, he was expressionless outside.
However, to Aur's disappointed eyes, Sebastian walked past the shop without a single glance at it.
"Is he really not going to pick?" Aur thought with a frown on his face. Since Sebastian was mortal, it wasn't hard for him to snatch the mana stone from him at all. This was his plan.
However, life never went according to the plan that you expect, even if you have the most genius mind and even knew the future of it.
To his disappointment, Sebastian carried a medium-sized box with him and left the place without even looking at anything.
"Damn it, I haven't barely gotten my pay to eat till my stomach is full, and I didn't even get the bonus from the Steele family because of it..." He cursed while muttering. His eyes seemed to be lost in thought.
"Can I never have a chance to rise?"
Aur's ears twitched as he heard the words from Sebastian, a fleeting figure as he disappeared into the town.
His crimson eyes narrowed to a slit.
"Did he really not choose from here?" He looked back at the purple stones that were on display and gritted his teeth.
"Is this the butterfly effect? Did I do something that changed the future by cutting the salary of his, making him not try his luck? But I am not related to the Steele family in any way. I don't even know them, so..." Aur thought.
The more he contemplated, the more he felt like he was going down a rabbit hole with no conclusion in sight.
Either way, now Aur had only one chance to get what he wanted, which was to painfully spend the mana crystal he had just earned for buying all these useless things that most likely have nothing inside them.
"Tier one sword would only be around ten middle-grade mana crystals, and for all the cost I will need to smith it." He sighed with pity. "The most I can profit off is around five middle-grade mana crystals."
It was still a good haul, however, compared to the 35 middle-grade mana crystals he had spent, this was like seven times the loss.
"Are you sure you want to continue, young lord?" The servant girl asked with a nervous expression, her hands trembling.
She had never dealt with people of people around Aur's status since most who stayed outside the shop were mortals or rogue wizards.
The wizards from the village or even the students who were comparable to Aur directly went into the shop rather than staying here where there was barely any chance for you to gain any treasure.
The price and the ratio of the chances was very thin here.
As it could be seen from Aur's luck as well.
"Continue cutting all the stones." Aur said coldly without a care.
"Y... yes, young master." She hurriedly said and started to cut the stones one by one.
Before long, the remaining fourteen mana stones were cut with nothing inside him.
"Umm, would you like to cut more young master?"
"No, I will come back tomorrow." Aur reluctantly shook his head and left the place with a regretful expression.
The servant woman looked at the fleeting figure of Aur with a glint in her eyes.
"That man finally left." She heaved a sigh of relief and returned back to the shop where barely any customer was left in the caravan as everyone was already asleep. She reached the only lit room inside the store.
The moment she entered, the servant girl heard an authoritative voice questioning her.
"Has he left already?"
Without even daring to look up, she immediately bowed and said respectfully, "Yes, tenth master."
"Good, he probably won't come back ever again." The authoritative voice was tinged with mockery.
Hearing this, the servant girl tentatively said, "Tenth master, he said he will come back again."
"Oh." The tenth master that the girl addressed to raised his eyebrows.
"Is there some kind of secret hidden there?"
