Chapter 4: Black Market (1)
The sight confronting Lyrium was an atmosphere similar to that of an entire city.
"I never thought it would be this big."
The author of the Path of the Elemental sage stated that the black Market was an illegal market located in a ruined terrain, tunnel.
But actually through the small tunnel was located a 4 dimensional space quadron area and it was the place where the black Market was located.
Lyrium walks forward watching the scene. There were many people buying, selling different kind of things. Most of them being males.
In each section or shop, there were many potion, Artifacts and many other unique things.
But the section that caught the eye of the Lyrium was the Weapons and skills section.
He moved forward, heading towards the weapons shop to check some weapon first,
Lyrium, then open the door of the shop revealing a magnificent sight, which made Lyrium's eyes widen in disbelief, but he fixed his composure and muttered some words.
"I think, i should stop calling the small shops, a 'shop', instead, i should start calling them Malls."
Again, the weapon shop was made of 4 dimensional space making the inside terrain big and giving it enough space for all the weapons to kept and for the customers to walk and roam freely and comfortable.
"May I help you sir?" A young man with pale black hair and onyx eyes not older than 25 years walks towards Lyrium.
"Ah....oh.....it's, I want to check some weapons" Lyrium said those words as he form a smile on his face.
"Please Follow me sir."
As the man said those words he started walking towards a small hall where every weapons such as swords, daggers and many other deadly weapons were kept.
"What kind of weapon would you want to look sir?"
"Can I have some minutes alone, I want to picked the weapon" Lyrium replied staring at the man which he nodded his head and walks away.
'Lets see....'
There were many unique and rare swords which are made from high durable runes and ancient Artifacts, but none of them quite caught the interest of Lyrium.
After a few minutes of roaming through the hall checking the weapons, he walk passed a rustry and old sword that was covered with white cloths on its upper part and lying on the small table.
Upon witnessing the rusty sword, Lyrium walks towards the table instantly helding up the sword in his hand.
The sword was gigantic, even the size of the sword was larger than Lyrium's body, not only his body, the sword was actually ridiculously big and long. Even though the size was big, it's weight was very light to Lyrium.
According to his theory, the sword was made up of very light and unique material. Or, the sword itself measures an individual capabilities and strength and adjust it's weight. Even so, both of the theory could be wrong, it was just a theory created by Lyrium himself.
Due to the adjustments of the swords and also it's design which was otherworldly cool, which made Lyrium thought for a second.
The sword was literally something else. Even though it was rusty, he still could see the colour of the sword, which was pale black in colour. The plate of the sword was the most important part. It wasn't really thick nor thin, it was refined perfectly. Lyrium at first glanced could already guessed that the fact that it was made by a professional Swordsmith.
The four - leaf clover pattern that was designed on its handle make the sword even more magnificent.
He, then take the sword and headed out, towards the place where the counter section was.
Upon reaching the place, he met the same young man from a while ago.
Lyrium stood in front of him as they gaze at each other for some seconds without saying anything, Lyrium was the first one who break the silence as he put the big sword in front of him, on the table.
"I want this." Lyrium said as he stared at the young man that was looking at him smiling. But on his smile, there was lace of shock and surprise.
"Sir, are you sure.....This sword has been lying there since a decades ago"
"Still, I want it. How much Uber?"
The counter man still look some confused and concerned but nodded his head and replied as his face lit up with a warm smile,
"Sir, since the quality of the sword is too low, the price rate will also come doww further.." He continued as he clicked on his wristband continuously...
"So, the rate will be....."
"5,000 Uber Cash"
Lyrium mouth somewhat twitch as the words escaped the man's mouth. Obviously.....5,000 Uber is such a small amount of rate.
Even a chocolate bar rate is more than the rate of this sword.
'Sigh. I think, they only check and care how the sword was made and it's design, they never check it's feats first.'
"Cash or wristband, sir?"
Wristband was a smart watch given to Deviants cadet for communication and schools related announcement, but Lyrium didn't get the wristband yet, since he was first year, also the academy hasn't started yet.
Even though he doesn't have a wristband, smartphone can connect to on of it. He takes out his smartphone from his pocket and paid the money instantly and decided to directly head out.
"Thank you for buying from us Sir, hope you come back"
Lyrium exited the store as he put his sword on his 4 dimensional wrist watch and walk towards the street of the Black Market,
After roaming for some minutes, he reach a certain place. The fact Lyrium like about this Market was that, the seller didn't treat their customers differently and discriminate.
They treat their customers equally, even though they are rich nor poor, noble nor commoner. Everyone was same in their eyes. Also the low price.
Lyrium stop in front of a certain mall made of wood, but, his fixed his mind not to call it a small shop. It was the skill shop.
"Haa.....Let's go" He took a deep breath as he enters the mall eventually opening the door.
The sight, yet again took Lyrium by surprise, it was as if he was expected, the 4 dimensional space.
The lobby and the interface of the mall were all similar to that of the weapons mall. Except for the part where, instead of the weapons, there were crystal of different colours and varieties kept in the glasses.
In each glasses, there was a green transparent screen floating in front of each and every skill, with the information about the skills and ranks.
As he close the door behind him slowly making a sound of,
'Creak!'
He tensely walks towards the skills section, but out of thin air, a middle - age man not older that 45 years with ground beared wearing a suit and a hat appeared.
"My name is Victor, Victor storms. How many i help you? The man said bowing his head slightly in forn of Lyrium.
"Ah.....if I am allowed, can I check the skills alone..." Lyrium said with a bitter smile as he scratch the back of his head.
Victor just stared at him for some seconds after nodding instantly and walks towards the counter section leaving only Lyrium there.
To Lyrium, Victor was a familiar guy. Since he was the person who will assist the protagonist later in the chapters.
As Lyrium stared at departing figure of Victor, his gaze shifted towardss the skills.
"Now, Let's pick one baby." He mirked as he walks towards the section
