Chapter 340: Dog treat

Chapter 340: Dog treat

Walking through the empty student dormitories, Sofia managed to learn from a janitor that her students had left with Tartaros a few hours prior. This chapter's initial release occurred on the n0vell--Bjjn site.

I dont want to bother Leverle again so soon And I really dont want to keep training VPPV right now

Sofia left the Academy. Caleb was busy reading the same book in front of the gate.

Hey Caneb!

Miss Sonia, leaving so soon?

I was thinking I could relax a little. Would you happen to know about the best restaurants and shops in the city? You have been here a while after all.

Oh of course. Whats your budget?

I have more gold than I know what to do with.

Azurians antiquities. Thats the place.

In a street lined with shops of all kinds, this one looked like any other next to it. But Caleb had been adamant that Sofia would find her happiness there.

Doesnt look like anything special. Maybe he was having a laugh at my expense. Lets not judge the book by its cover though. Sofia opened the lacquered wooden door of the small shop.

[Hero - Lv. 358]

Shocked by the unexpected spectacle, Sofia lost herself looking at the shirtless human heros rippling muscles as he struggled to finish one push-up with a dainty small horned lady sitting on his back.

[Mage - Lv.400+]

Sofia took a step back outside of the shop and closed the door. That Is definitely not what I expected to find in an antiquities shop. She wondered what she should do, thinking that maybe it was better to come back at a later time, but the door opened from inside.

It was the small lady who greeted Sofia, Hi, sorry about that, welcome to Azurians, hes the guy I was helping exercise. Are you looking for anything in particular? Not every day we find more humans around here.

The human hero was nowhere to be seen in the shop.

Hey Im- No, I dont know what I want exactly, I just wanted to look around And you dont look exactly human.

Oh, yeah, because Im not, Im a one of em big flying lizards, you know, the kind you scale to make armor out of, the girl winked, Everyone in my family ends up looking like humans though. Come in, do look around, we have plenty of ol crap for sale or barter.

I figured.

Isekaied? Sofia asked, a confused look on her face. Is that a Draconic word or something?

Oh, right, sorry, just forget about it, Azurian backed out, uncomfortably putting a hand behind his neck, Ill get censored left and right if I try to say too much, not worth the hassle. Im surprised this even got through the scribes.

I see Well, I did summon someone from the human heroes world, yes, but I can already guess she was not from the same time as you.

Thats quite alright, Id love to meet them if I have the occasion. You want the loot from the dead lich, then? You can have a look but dont break anything, the policy for books is you can only [Identify] them, no reading before buying.

Alright, thanks. Ill tell her about this place, shell come if she wants.

Sofia walked up to the shelf and started identifying everything, almost salivating.

Did Caleb know they had this stuff?!

[Book of the four-HeadDead] : A necromancy grimoire by the hands of Master Lich Tetrapopulos about his research on the grafting of additional heads to zombies.

If this is applicable to skeletons Also, no item level or grades today?

[On becoming a healthy lich] : Diary of Master Lich Tetrapopulos detailing the process of turning oneself into an undead skeleton without the intermediary step of becoming dead.

Im not really interested in becoming a skeleton myself but that should be an interesting read nonetheless.

[Curses, the most misunderstood school of magic] : An essay from an unknown author about the nature of curses.

That actually looks interesting.

[Commanders guide to military formations] : A book that somehow survived through the ages, it recounts the exploits of a human commander guiding his outnumbered troops to victory through clever use of terrain and positioning.

I have been mostly letting the paladin skeletons do whatever they wanted but that is knowledge I could use. Not five thousand gold worth of knowledge though.

[Nameless book] : This book contains 28 unlabelled rituals schematics without any explanation. Try at your own risk.

Thats Kind of exciting, honestly. Im sure Zerei would love to have a look at this one too.

Thats it for the books, theres also two wands, a dilapidated robe, the chest and most importantly, the skeleton!

[Bones of a twice-dead lich] : The remains of Master Lich Tetrapopulos, the old skeleton is mostly intact despite a few of the smaller bones missing.

Must have originally been a dwarf or something like that, thats a small skeleton.

Im definitely buying this! Are you hungry, Bookie? Weve found a skeleton-summoning skeleton to add to your pages!!!
