Chapter 468: The Young Lady's Request (Second Update)
Chapter 468: The Young Lady's Request (Second Update)
"Wow, such a handsome guy, he’s looking at me, he’s looking at me, I must be naturally beautiful and charming!"
Jerry had intended to use Legilimency to confirm whether the blonde girl was a mage, but instead, he read a flood of self-absorbed declarations from a typical middle-school fantasist, which made him involuntarily twitch his mouth.
"Customer, these are all the magic books we have in the store!"
At this moment, the shopkeeper finally emerged from behind the counter.
"A Century of Magic History"
"Comprehensive Catalog of Possession and Ability Magic"
"Ranking of Mages"
Seeing the few magic books on the counter, Jerry didn’t hesitate and paid for them all without a second thought.
After paying, he picked up all the magic books and items the shopkeeper had packed for him and left the magic shop without another word.
"Shopkeeper, I’m looking for the Key of the Celestial Spirit of the Great Gate. Do you have it in stock?"
As Jerry left the shop, the blonde girl retracted her lingering gaze and turned to the shopkeeper, asking him.
Men like to look at beautiful women, and women also enjoy looking at handsome men—this isn’t anything unusual.
"Yes, but it’s not very powerful. It’s the Key of the Celestial Spirit of Canis Minor."
The shopkeeper, without looking up, happily counted the large sum of money he had just earned, over a million in large bills.
Upon hearing it was the Key of Canis Minor, the blonde girl’s eyes instantly sparkled with two hearts:
"Canis Minor, that’s exactly the key I’m looking for. How much does it cost?"
No female Celestial Spirit Mage could resist the Key of the Celestial Spirit of Canis Minor. Although it has very little combat strength and can’t assist its owner in battle, it’s incredibly cute!
"20,000 J, but it’s already been bought by that wealthy customer who just left!"
The shopkeeper put away the money and then took out a Magic Color-Changing Box:
"How about trying this one? It’s the latest and most popular this year."
"Is he also a Celestial Spirit Mage?"
The blonde girl interrupted the shopkeeper's sales pitch with a surprised question.
She hadn’t expected to encounter another Celestial Spirit Mage in such a remote place.
Unlike other mages, Celestial Spirit Mages rely on celestial spirits to fight, and the number of celestial spirits and their keys is limited.
Therefore, Celestial Spirit Mages are much rarer than other types of mages.
"Oh, not really. I don’t think he’s even a mage. He seemed very curious about magic and had a lot of money, so he bought a bunch of magic items and books."
The shopkeeper demonstrated the color-changing effect of the Magic Box while speculating.
From his conversation with Jerry, he could tell that the other man seemed to know very little about magic, perhaps even less than an average person.
Moreover, he hadn’t detected any magic power from the other man.
So he guessed that the customer was probably just a very wealthy person who was curious about magic.
While it’s unusual for such a rich person to shop at his small magic store, anything is possible.
"No thanks, I already have one!"
The blonde girl’s eyes lit up at this, and she waved at the shopkeeper before quickly rushing towards the door.
After all, there are only 88 Celestial Spirit Keys in the entire world, scattered in various places. Finding one relies entirely on luck.
Today, she finally encountered one, and of course, she couldn't just give up.
If the other party was also a Celestial Spirit Mage, she would have no hope, but according to the shopkeeper, the other party might not even be a mage. In that case, she still had a good chance of buying it from them.
After all, for non-Celestial Spirit Mages and ordinary people, a Celestial Spirit Key is no different from scrap metal.
After leaving the magic shop, Jerry strolled down the street, admiring the unique scenery of this world while thinking about his next steps.
This city, Harugion, with its extremely few mages, was definitely not a place to stay for long, as it would be meaningless.
According to the magic shop owner, if he wanted to learn more about the magic of this world, he could buy magic books from the magic shops in large cities or take on missions by paying at the Mage Guild.
"I'll stay one more day, finish reading those magic books, and then take the train to the nearest city."
With the number of Little Red Stars he currently had, he could stay in this world for a long time, so there was no need to rush. He didn't have to use the portal to travel directly to other cities.
It would be better to experience and understand this world at a normal pace while searching for magic books and interacting with some mages.
Although Jerry believed that with his own strength, he was definitely not a weakling in this world, there was no need to be too conspicuous. After all, he still had only a superficial understanding of this world.
No one could be sure that there wasn't a more powerful existence in this world.
Just as Jerry was considering which inn to check into, a hurried voice called out from behind him:
"Sir in the black robe, please wait a moment, wait!"
Turning around, he saw the blonde girl who he had encountered in the magic shop, the one he suspected to be a mage.
"Miss, are you calling me? I don't seem to know you!"
Jerry stopped and smiled at the blonde girl, who had stopped abruptly in front of him, breathing heavily.
The blonde girl took a few deep breaths to try to speak normally before slowly explaining the reason for her hurried call:
"I heard from the magic shop owner that you bought the Key of the Celestial Spirit of Canis Minor. I was wondering if you could let me have it. I'll compensate you for the 20,000 J it cost, and I would be extremely grateful."
Seeing that Jerry didn't react, her eyes immediately sparkled, and she flicked her golden hair, puffed out her impressive chest, and winked at Jerry:
"Handsome, if you let me have it, I can treat you to lunch!"
"Such a sexy girl like me, you can't resist, right!"
Using the Mind Reading Spell, Jerry read the blonde girl's thoughts and couldn't help but laugh helplessly.
Initially, he was a bit cautious when this unfamiliar mage from this world called him, but after using the Mind Reading Spell to read the blonde girl's thoughts, he knew that she genuinely only wanted the Celestial Spirit Key.
After a brief moment of thought, and seeing the string of golden Celestial Spirit Keys hanging from her waist, Jerry took out the Key of the Celestial Spirit of Canis Minor and smiled:
"I can give you this Celestial Spirit Key for free, without you having to compensate me the 20,000 J, but you have to agree to one condition!"
"What condition? It can't be too outrageous. You may be handsome, but I'm not some easy girl!"
The blonde girl took a step back, crossed her arms, and looked at him with a wary expression.
