Kayden burst out laughing. "Hahahahahahahaha!"
Apache frowned. "Is it funny?"
Kayden quickly composed himself. "Not at all. I'm just so happy for Little Apache."
Apache's expression softened. "Good child."
Rita: "…" Kayden, you little suck-up! And here I thought you were an honest kid.
Still, she had other matters to discuss today, so she endured it. Taking out a few boxes of rice harvested from [Union of Grids], she handed them to Kayden to deliver to the kitchen. Only then did she ask Apache, "Teacher, do you know about equipment binding stones?"
Apache gestured toward the materials on the side that needed processing. Rita obediently stepped up to help while Apache slowly explained, "I do. Don't use too many of them."
So the burdens on the soul really are connected to equipment binding stones? No wonder such an important item sold for only 100 gold. Rita pressed further, "Is it because adding too much weight to the soul is bad?"
