Chapter 47: Chapter 47: Equipment Shopping

"Master how??" Sherry was looking incredulously at my face as if she saw me for the first time.

Hmm I should check out how I look, the charm rewards must have been substantial for Sherry to react this way.

"Master's Blood makes him taller from time to time" Roxanne replies as if she was already used to it.

"Yes Master looks taller now but more importantly, how can his face change so much?" Sherry says, pointing at my face.

"Master's face is still the same. There was this one time, Master changed his face to Roxanne's!" Roxanne said, shivering while touching her face.

"Huh?" Sherry looked at Roxanne in confusion.

Well I think that's enough entertainment for now.

"My Bloodline Power is still unlocking and with it my body will also undergo change to accommodate that Power" I explain it in simple terms to Sherry,

"And for the Face change part, well oftentimes when I unlock a new Job or level up a Job, my Bloodline Powers will use the extra unneeded Power and convert it into an Object. The object is mostly random so even I don't know what I will get"

"Your Bloodline Power is getting weirder" Sherry looks at me suspiciously.

With a cough I change the topic, "Look at this new Backpack, it's a new Object I just got"

I give the new Backpack to Roxanne, while Sherry curiously watches from the side.

"This one has 10 times the space of the old Backpack, so we can shift the vegetables and meat inside it and we won't have to worry about them getting stale"

"That is wonderful, Master" Roxanne says checking out the new Backpack

"Umm, what do you mean by that Master?" Sherry asks dubiously looking at the old and new Backpack.

"Roxanne will explain it to you, let me prepare something for the evening" I show Roxanne the bottle and she nods in understanding.

"This is a Magic Bag …"

I go outside the room as Roxanne starts explaining Sherry about the Backpack. Keeping the setting at the hottest I put the Explorer's Bottle at the edge of the Bath. It would have been much harder to have a Bath daily if I didn't have this Bottle.

I returned to the small Dining room.

"Master, but how? I have never heard about Spatial Items. I don't think even Sekigan, the Advanced Job of Master Smith could make something like this" As soon as I entered the room I was confronted by an excited Sherry.

"Even I don't know that much about my Powers" With a shrug I dismiss the topic

"Lets go to the Weapon's shop first then" I said as I saw that everyone was ready.

I cast a Warp and we all came out at the Quratar Explorer's Guild. Roxanne had the New Backpack while Sherry carried the old one.

We went to the Weapon's shop nearby. There I asked the Weapon Merchant to show us the Steel Weapons. I asked about the Damascus Steel Weapons but according to him such weapons are mostly not in stock.

The Armour Merchant took us into the inner part of the shop where there were no customers. Here the Steel Swords were kept on display. Various other Steel Weapons were also showcased.

Knowing that the girls would take a lot of time to choose, I helped them first.

"Roxanne you use a one handed sword, so I think a Steel Rapier would suit you more. As these 2 are good lets take both of them" I select the 2 with the three empty skill slots on it.

"Okay, Master"

Steel Equipment has a maximum of 3 Empty Skill slots. Iron has 2. Copper and wooden have one.

"Then this Sword is yours now Roxanne. And you can keep it on you when we go out from now on." I keep one in my hand and pass the other one to Roxanne.

"B-but Master"

"Keep it, its for your protection"

Normally Slaves aren't allowed to keep Weapons on them.

"Thank you Master" Roxanne smiles happily while holding the Rapier.

Next we went to the corner where all the Hammers were on display.

For Hammers, there were a variety of types, the normal Hammers, Morning Star, Mace, Clubs. Most of the Equipment here was not entirely made of Steel. Like the long Hammers here have its handle made of Wood.

"Will a Steel Club be fine for you?"

The Steel Club looked more like an oversized baseball bat to me.

"Yes" Sherry nodded while looking at the Clubs.

I showed her the 2 which had 3 Empty slots in them. I looked at the others, Mace and Morning Stars had many with 2 Empty Skills Slots but none with 3. Normal Hammer also had just one with 3 Empty Skill Slots.

Sherry and Roxanne seriously began to compare between the 2 Clubs. Leaving them here I moved on towards the Spear Section. For Spear its handle was also made from Wood. Unfortunately only one Steel Spear here had 3 Empty Skill Slots.

Even in Quratar's weapon shop which has a wide variety of weapons, a Steel Weapon with 3 Empty Skill Slots was still very difficult to find. I pity the Master Smith's who want to make Equipment with multiple Skills.

I take that Spear with me and then go towards the place where all the 2-handed Swords were. I checked them all and only 2 of them had three Empty Slots. I took both of them with me.

Lastly I went towards the Wand section. The wooden thin sticks were called wands. The Thicker Iron sticks were called Canes and the longer and bigger Steel Sticks were called Rods.

I weirdly looked at the assortment of Magical Dildos. Taking my mind off the gutter, I took the only Rod with 3 Empty Skill Slots.

Finished with my selection I went towards the counter to have a chat with the Weapon Merchant. He was very enthusiastic to talk with me. While we were chatting I was asked if I was the one who bought the Haunted Mansion.

Apparently there was a rumour circulating that a wealthy Adventurer who has a pretty Slave with him had purchased the haunted Mansion. Aunty couldn't even wait for 2 days before gossiping my details.

I generously admitted that I was the one who had bought that property and also made him promise that he would keep high quality weapons aside for me to have a look before selling them.

"Master, this Hammer please" Sherry and Roxanne came back with a Steel Club.

"Okay, then this Hammer is yours now, you can also keep it on you when we go out"

"Is it really alright if I hold on to it?"

"Sure"

Sherry smiled happily while holding on to the Steel Club. The Club was almost 3/4th her height and looked heavy, but she was moving it around nonchalantly.

I activated 35% off and showed the merchant all that we bought. The total came out to be 53950 nars. I counted 5 Gold, 39 Silver and 50 copper coins and gave that to him.

The most expensive thing was my Steel Rod followed by the Spear. I kept the extra Weapons inside the Backpack, while keeping the Steel Sword on me.

Next we went to the Armor Shop. I asked the Armor Merchant to show us the Steel Section. He also took us to the inner part of his Shop. I asked him about some high quality equipment but the Armour Merchant didn't have any Damascus Steel Equipments, he didn't even have Dragon Leather Armour.

Dragon Leather was another series of Equipments which was also called Anti Dragon Equipments, mostly used for fighting Dragons.

We first went towards the corner where different shields were displayed. For Armours and Shields I was going to buy everything which had 3 Skill Slots.

After looking through all of them I was only able to find 2 Steel Shields with 3 Skill Slots. One of them was a round Steel Shield the other was a Curved triangle Shaped Shield.

"These both are good shields. We will buy both of them and Roxanne can choose one of them" I said while pointing towards the 2 different Shields.

"Then this one please" Roxanne replied while picking up the round Shield.

Nodding I took the other Shield and we moved on to the armour section.

For Steel armours there were mainly 2 different types, a Steel Plate armour and a Steel Chainmail.

"Master, if possible I would like to keep using Leather armor, as Steel armor would slow me down" Roxanne told me while I was checking out the plate armor.

It does look very heavy, for Sherry and me it's not much of a problem as we mostly wouldn't be able to dodge each attack anyway. But Roxanne is an agility based MT so it would definitely be a hindrance to her.

"Hmm alright, still we would buy Hard leather Equipment as an upgrade for you" I replied after thinking for a while

"Thank You Master"

I checked out all the armours. There were only 4 with 3 Empty Skill Slots. 2 from the Steel Plate Armour and 2 From the Steel Chainmail. I took all four of them while giving one of the Chainmail armor to Sherry.

Next we went towards helmets. There were 2 different types of helmets on display here. A Steel Helmet and a Steel Forehead Protector.

The Forehead Protectors looked exactly like the ones from Naruto. While the Steel Helmets looked like Bike Helmets. There were 3 Steel Helmets and 1 Forehead Protector which had 3 Empty Skill slots.

As I asked them both to choose from these four, Sherry chose a Steel Helmet and Roxanne chose a Forehead protector. Roxanne must have thought that the forehead protector is light enough to not hinder her. I took the other 2 with me and went towards the Boots section.

There were 6 Boots with 3 Skill slots, happy with finding so many of them, I took them all. Roxanne didn't want the Steel Boots so I just gave Sherry one.

Next we went to the corner where Gloves were displayed. There were 2 types of gloves displayed, Steel Mittens and Steel Gauntlets.

I checked them out and there were no Steel Mittens with 3 Skill slots, but Steel Gauntlets had 4 of them. Again Sherry took one and I kept the others with me.

We had to regularly place the selected items at the counter as it was getting too much to hold them.

Finished with the Steel section we moved towards the leather section. There I saw all the Hard leather items and pointed out the ones which had skill slots to Roxanne.

It was Leather Gear so there was only 1 Empty Skill Slot present. Knowing that it will take a while for them to choose, I left them there and went to the Armour Merchant for a chat.

Apparently he too had heard of that rumour. He was sure I was the same person because I bought so much. After some small talk I was able to get his word that he would keep aside the higher quality Equipments for me in the future.

After a while Roxanne and Sherry came back with a Hard leather Jacket, a Hard leather glove and Hard leather boots. I showed everything to the Armour Merchant with 35% off activated.

I had to pay 88075 nars. I counted 8 Gold, 80 Silver and 75 Copper coins and gave them to the Armour Merchant.

The Merchant offered to bring all the armour back to my manor with a carriage, but I declined. I told Roxanne to stand here, meanwhile Sherry and I took some of the Equipment with us to a nearby empty alley and stuffed everything into the Backpack.

The Armour Merchant must be thinking that I used Field Walk from the nearby Explorer's Guild to my house. We repeated the process 2 more times before we were able to leave the Shop.
