The Moon Thief

Magical Treasures were divided into 6 classes, E-D-C-B-A and S. E was the lowest class and S was the highest class. S-class Magical Treasures were also called Sacred Treasures, and it was said that only Ancient Ainsars could control them.

"The opening price is 70,000 Arkana Stones." Ard announced.

"This Magical Treasure is not the kind of thing I was looking for. It is a Protective Type Magical Treasure that I can count on to save my life in an emergency that I need." Heinald thought that he was not going to make any offer to this Magical Treasure, and his offensive type of Magical Treasures was unnecessary unless it was too superior.

"75.000"

"80.000"

"90.000"

"120.000"

"140.000"

"155.000"

"180.000"

...

Class E Magical Treasure was given to an Ainsar sitting a few seats behind Heinald for 200,000 Arkana Stones.

"Next Item!"

The two attendants brought a big book to the stage. The cover of this book was made of some kind of animal skin and it was a very thick book. It should have been at least 5,000 pages, according to Heinald's estimate. Considering so many pages and the size of the book, it was obvious that this book contains a lot of information.

"This book was written 500 years ago by the famous botanist Akrason Junbell. All the plants and their properties that he discovered in his lifetime are mentioned in this book." Ard looked at the book and the crowd.

"Opening price 50,000 Arkana Stones." Ard loudly announced the price.

Heinald held up his number without thinking.

"Heinald !? What are you doing?" Reulon's eyes would almost pop out.

"I want that book." Heinald said.

"Nonsense! 50,000 Arkana Stones are not given to just one herb book!" Reulon was trying to persuade him, but his efforts were in vain.

Because no one except Heinald wanted the book, the book was sold to him at the opening price.

"I can't believe you did that..." Old Reulon could not believe Heinald gave 50,000 Arkana Stones to a herb book.

"A book like this is very important to me." Heinald thought this book was worth Arkana Stones he spent.

The auction ended after a few more valuable items were presented. Heinald and Reulon had come out of the building where the Auction was held and were walking along one of the city's wide and grand streets.

"There is something I want to show you, follow me!" Reulon glanced at Heinald walking beside him.

After walking for a while, they came to a shop called 'Res Aunres'.

"Why did we come here?" asked Heinald.

"I'll show you the biggest market place you've ever seen." Reulon smiled slightly.

When they got inside, this shop looked like an ordinary shop, but that wasn't the case!

"My old friend, Reulon!" An old man applauded enthusiastically.

"Riphes!" Reulon responded with the same enthusiasm, and the two old men hugged each other in a friendly manner.

"It's been a long time!" said the old man.

"Indeed!" Reulon nodded.

"Who is this young man?" asked the old man.

"My name is Heinald." He greeted the old man in front of him with a slight nod.

"He's an incredibly talented Potions Master even though he's quite young. I brought him here to see the main market area of ​​this city. I am a surety for him, so you don't have to worry!" Reulon put his hand on Heinald's shoulder.

"If so, then move on!" The old man opened the door behind him. As the door opened wide, the downward stairs appeared.

"Lets go!" Reulon said.

"Is this the city's main marketplace?" Heinald murmured.

"Yes. I am sure you will find many things you are looking for where we will reach soon." Reulon said.

"How do you know this place?" asked Heinald.

"You know ... Living for a long time brings some advantages. Some of my older friends who are more talented than me have come to good places. So I can enter here easily, but be sure not everyone can do this. This is a place that most Ainsar does not know." Old Reulon let out a laugh.

After walking for a while in a tunnel lit by many torches, they went out into a large area, there were dozens of Ainsars around, all of them entering and exiting the various shops.

"Can I find a Protective Type Magical Treasure here?" asked Heinald.

"I don't think so. Magical Treasures are not sold in shops." Reulon shook his head.

Heinald entered a potion shop he had found, filled with showcases and a variety of potions on the windows. The shop was quite large, with steps going up to the right of the entrance.

"Welcome." Hienald was greeted by a female attendant.

"Hello, do you have Sunrise Blood Flower, Moonlight Tree Leaf, Yernes Eye, Lisbon Herb Root and Fire Emrald Herb Extract?" Heinald approached the attendant.

"Please wait!" The female attendant went to the back and disappeared.

After a while, the woman came back.

"We have everything you want except the Fire Emerald Herb Extract." The female attendant said.

"Oh? Really?" Heinald was very excited. In fact, he thought they wouldn't have most of the ingredients.

But only one ingredient was missing!

"May I ask why you want these materials?" The woman in charge asked politely.

"I am a botanist, for some research I need to study these plants and do some experiments on them." Heinald said.

The woman on duty suddenly asked such a question, though she did not show it, caused her to feel nervous. He didn't say he would use it for Potion Crafting because he knew that the formulas for Spirit Potions were in the hands of powerful families.

"Why did you ask?" Heinald gave a naive glance.

"These materials are very rare materials. This is the first time I see someone buying all these materials together." The woman in charge is shrugged.

"Will you get Fire Emerald Herb Extract soon?" asked Heinald.

"Sorry, but for now I can't say for sure. Runar Valley, the area where the Fire Emerald Herb grows, is controlled by the Risclaw Clan. The Fire Emerald Herb trade is in their hands, as they control the entire valley. This year they did not send any Fire Emerald Herb to us. That's why we terminated our trade agreement with them." The woman said.

"Will there be an agreement?" Heinald scratched his chin.

"My bosses can only know that, not me." The woman smiled bitterly.

"Got it, thank you." Heinald nodded.

Heinald purchased twenty of each material and paid them a total of 5,000 Arkana Stones. After completing his shopping, he left the shop.

"Did you find what you were looking for?" Waiting outside, Reulon, when he saw Heinald walking towards him, approached him and asked.

"Except for just one material, yes." Heinald shrugged.

"What is the missing material?" Reulon asked.

"Fire Emerald Herb Extract." Heinald answered.

He explained why the material was missing.

Heinald knew the location of the Runar Valley. Located on the north bank of the Mesqur District. He had to travel there and make a deal with them, he had managed to find most of the ingredients anyway, and if he also obtained the Fire Emerald Herb, he could begin his Spirit Potion experiments.

Heinald decided to return to Guljan Town as he had no more jobs left in Jusen City. Reuolon said goodbye to Heinald, stating that he had another job and stayed in the city.

Heinald returned to Guljan Town after a boring trip alone and was pleasantly surprised. Dane and the others had received his letter and had come here, but when they could not find him, they started to stay at the inn in the town. He learned these from a note they left in his shop.

He immediately went to the town inn.

"Heinald!" While Dane was struggling to buy drinks on the ground floor of the inn, he saw Heinald walk in.

"Dane!" The two friends greeted each other and hugged.

"Where have you been? You guys were late, I was worried about you." Heinald tapped the shoulder of your friend next to him.

"We encountered some problems during our travels." Dane shrugged.

"Where are the others?" asked Heinald.

"Everyone's in their room, I went down here to get a drink." Dane pointed to the bottle in his hand.

Heinald went with Dane to the others' rooms and greeted them all. He was relieved to see that they were all well, these people were actually his first sincere friends, he had spent his childhood being trained by his grandfather in a desolate place. That's why he never had a sincere friend.

"So,tell me what you've done." Heinald said.

"As a result of various investigations, we decided to examine the ruins in the Khaajaal Area and we started to travel there. When we reached that area, we carefully examined all the remains in the area for months, but we could not find anything. Most likely, those who came before us already got what they wanted. Anyway, we did not have anything to do. we decided to return and search for other remains, but unfortunately we could not find a useful residue. " Dane sighed.

"On some of our journeys we were attacked by various Magical Beasts and Ainsars. On the bright side, we gained combat experience on these journeys." Morena chuckled slightly.

"We killed the Ainsars who attacked us to get what we had and took what they had, and we obtained a total of around 25,000 Arkana Stones." Mady had a satisfied expression.

"How's your shop business going?" Dane asked.

"Much better than I expected!" Heinald smiled.

He and the others chatted into the night.

The next day, Heinald started to come up with a plan in his head. He should have traveled to the Mesqur Region as soon as possible, but it was going to be a very long journey. The Runar Valley is located on the southeast side of that region. He had to go there and make a deal with the Risclaw Clan and get the Fire Emerald Herb.

"After all, as long as I pay them the price, it shouldn't be a problem." Heinald muttered.
