Magic Shop System

Barret departed afterwards as he had so much work to do. He took the people that Elora had healed and walked out of the shop. The healed soldiers looked grateful and appreciative and bowed towards Kadyn before following Barret.

Kadyn glanced at everyone around him and said. "Alright, today is off. We aren't doing any work today."

"But didn't you say…"

"Now I'm saying the exact opposite. Do you have any problem?" Kadyn looked at Hot Rod and chuckled. "Well, if you want to work that much, I won't force you."

Hot Rod smiled embarrassedly and remained silent. Kadyn looked at Khrom and asked. "What about you? Do you also want to work?"

"Hehe, I'm good," Khrom said and rubbed his hand as a vicious glint passed through his eyes. "My hands have been itching for some time. I will go get a cure for it."

Kadyn eyed him and couldn't help but shake his head. He knew what he was talking about. Khrom still hadn't killed Mayor Palius. However, he wasn't in the shop as Elora had warned Kadyn to do these things out of the shop due to children. Khrom had hidden that guy somewhere that even Kadyn wasn't aware of. He would vanish from time to time. 

One could easily guess where he went at that time.

Hot Rod also knew about it and couldn't help but shiver. Even though he was stronger than Khrom, he felt a little fearful of this maniac. He had tortured Mayor Palius for many days, and he still didn't have any intention to let him go, and he might continue to do that in the future. His hatred for the man was too deeply engraved inside his heart. 

As Kadyn was about to depart, he thought something and looked at Hot Rod. "You should know about the market value of all kinds of metals and artefacts, right?" he asked

Hot Rod stared at Kadyn and nodded in confusion. "That's good," Kadyn said and turned towards Khrom. "I need you to find the market price of all kinds of herbs and potions. Can you do that after dealing with your matter?" As he said a window appeared in front of him. Kadyn looked at Khrom and said. "Ten Energy Points are the reward if you complete the mission. Do you want it?"

"Sure, I would do it," Khrom replied without a hitch in his voice. Energy points are essential for the growth of the person in the shop. He needed the energy points for everything. He would never miss the chance to earn them.

As he said, Kadyn nodded and gave him the mission. A window popped up in front of Khrom.

[Mission: Herb Information Collection]

[Reward: 10 energy points]

[Requirement: Collect the market value of about 70% herbs in the Avibria city]

[Do you want to accept the mission? Y/N]

Khrom accepted the mission without any hesitation.

After that Kadyn walked towards the house. The city had yet to recover from the shock and terror of Zephyr, and now even Elora was ill. So Kadyn didn't have the heart to open the shop. Even if he opened it, he would not do much business, so it was better to take care of his sister, instead. He entered the hall where Kove, Melvona, and Rayna were sitting. He nodded towards Rayna and went straight to Elora's room. 

Kadyn entered the room and a fragrance filled his nose. The walls were whitewashed, the floor was tilled with gorgeous stones. A huge bed laid at the side of the room. A large family photo was hanging behind the bed, on the wall. Kadyn, Salona, Elora, and Magnus. The entire family. On either side of the bed lay two tables, on one was a night lamp while on the other was a flower pot, filled with flowers, of course.

Kadyn saw a large beautiful mirror on the right wall. There were leaves and flowers inscribed at the white edges of the mirror. Just below the mirror, there was a casket, on which lay a makeup organiser and skincare organiser.

There was a sofa, laced with the wall, and a glass table stood in front of it. There was also a window from which one could see outside the room. Kadyn glanced at Elora, sleeping on her bed. He couldn't help but feel bad for her. If it wasn't for him, she wouldn't have tried to heal those people with that insanely powerful spell pattern. However, there was no point in blaming himself. So he sighed and sat on the sofa.

two minutes later he started to feel drowsy. He tried to remain awake but in the end, the torpor engulfed his senses, and he fell asleep on the sofa. He didn't know when it was, but he heard someone calling his name. He opened his eyes and rubbed them, removing crust out of them. 

Then he glanced around and found that Elora had already awakened and she was sitting on her bed, legs inside her blanket while staring at him with a warm smile. "What happened?" Kadyn asked.

Elora pointed towards the door and said. "Association Leader Barret has come. He wants to meet you."

Kadyn stood up and nodded towards Elora before heading towards the hall where Barret was waiting for him. As he arrived in the hall, Barret stood up and smiled. "I have brought the thing that you wanted." He replied. Though one could see tiredness inside his crimson eyes. They looked as if blood would drip out of them at any time. It seemed as if he hadn't taken rest since the Zephyr's attack. Fatigue was evident inside his eyes—and on his face.

"Alright, thanks," Kadyn said. They went on. "And take some rest, if children were to see your face, they would be scared out of their wits."

Barret smiled and shook his head. "I guess, I won't be able to sleep today." He said with a low voice.

"Why?" Kadyn looked at him curiously.

A sigh escaped from Barret's mouth, and he glanced at Kadyn before replying. "They are here. The people from the headquarter."

"Oh, are they suspicious or anything?" he asked, eyes locked on Barret.

"They just arrived not long ago, and are resting at the moment. Therefore I came to deliver this before they find something amiss. Potioneer Yel is handling the situation with Elder Jyn. However Elder Jyn is injured so he could just instruct Yel what to do, without doing anything himself."

"Then that's good," Kadyn said. "As long as they don't know about the blood. It's all good."

At this moment Barret pointed towards the two large barrels at the corner of the hall and said. "The thing you wanted is inside these barrels." Then he stood up and cupped his hands before speaking. "I need to go back or they would get suspicious."

Kadyn thought and asked curiously. "How powerful are they?"

"There are five of them." He said and glanced at Kadyn. "All of them Rank 3."

Kadyn sucked a cold beath at his words. Rank 3. Five of them. If they knew that he had taken something that belongs to them. They would definitely tear him into shreds. I need to keep a low profile until they go back. He thought with a racing heart.

After sending Barret, Kadyn turned towards Hot Rod, and Khrom, who had already returned after getting his itching cure and spoke. "You guys take these barrels to the Potion Hall." Then he looked at Khrom and said, "You will get 1 Energy point for it."

Hot Rod's face twitched as he heard this term once more. He didn't know what the energy point was. But he knew that it was similar to the money. As wherever Kadyn would ask Khrom to do any work he would tell him that he would get this-and-this many energy points. Though he was curious, he never asked, as he knew that he would be asking for trouble if he upset Kadyn.

The duo dragged the barrels and went towards the Potion Hall. Kadyn didn't stay in the hall either and went to Elora's room. He wanted to know what kind of spell she used to heal those soldiers. The spell was so overbearing that Elora could have been crippled if she made a minor mistake at that time.

When he arrived in her room she was reading a book. He looked at her and she lifted her gaze, staring at him. Then Kadyn walked towards the sofa and sat on it comfortably before speaking. "What kind of spell was that?"

"Healing." She said, but when Kadyn didn't laugh she went on. "A bad joke, I guess. Actually, for that spell, I have used all of my energy points."

"I know." Kadyn already knew that, as he had checked her status previously, and she had only ten energy points left in her account.

Elora took a deep breath and glanced at Kadyn before speaking. "Actually… umm… that Spell Pattern didn't belong to the Healing Element."

Kadyn was confused for a moment, but then his eyes widened. If that Spell Pattern didn't belong to the Healing Element then how could she cast it? He looked at her in confusion and asked. "What do you want to say? Elaborate."

Elora tightened her grip on the corner of the blanket and explained. "Actually, the spell belongs to the Life Element." She looked at Kadyn and proceeded when he didn't say anything. "It is similar to the Healing Element. Or you can say that Healing Element is derived from Life Element. As the Healing Element is the part of the Life Element so I could use the spells of Life Elements as well."

Kadyn didn't speak anything and continued to stare at Elora, as he could tell that something was off here.
