The shopkeeper asked, “How many pieces of paper do you need? The inscription papers are graded too.
What type are you looking…”
“I need ten of the cheapest ones,” Rebbeca answered without waiting for the shopkeeper to finish his sentence.
Rebbeca did not have much money at the moment.
After buying the inscription brush and papers, he needed to purchase engraving materials.
Hence, Rebbeca had to save up.
It appeared as if the shopkeeper expected Rebbeca’s request, and he took out a pile of yellowed but firm square paper, saying, “The cheapest ones are level one inscription papers, and they cost ten fedulings per piece.
Since you’re getting ten, that’s a hundred fedulings.”
The price was within Rebbeca’ s expectation, so he was not overly surprised.
After paying the money, Rebbeca took the papers and checked them.
The level one inscription papers were cut in squares, and each piece was only the size of two palms together.
Moreover, when Rebbeca felt the paper, he sensed a strange force on the surface, as if there was an air current floating on it.
Later, the shopkeeper asked, “Sir, do you still need the lightning inscription? It’s slightly expensive.
May I know what type of weapon you want to engrave the inscription on?”
Rebbeca gave it a thought and replied, “It’s a fourth-grade long spear, but I didn’t bring it with me today.”
“Once a lightning inscription is activated, it’ll release thunder and lightning that can paralyze your opponent in an instant.
Therefore, the most suitable weapons for it will be any knife or sword, and the effect might not be as good on a long spear.”
Then, the shopkeeper continued, “As the lightning inscription is an inscription for additional attributes, its price will be higher than those inscriptions that are used to increase the weapon’s original attributes.
It will cost five hundred fedulings for each paper.”
Even though Rebbeca was prepared, he still could not help but gasp when he heard the price.
The price was higher than the inscription brush that he just purchased!
Nonetheless, Rebbeca’s original intention was not to buy that lightning inscription but to determine the price.
Now that he found that out, his purpose was achieved.
Rebbeca waved his hand to indicate that he did not need the lightning inscription and left the Oceans Chamber of Commerce with the inscription brush and papers he purchased.
The shopkeeper waited until Rebbeca was far away before snorted disdainfully, “He’s broke, yet he wants to practice inscriptions.
He‘s just another guy with an unrealistic dream, wanting to earn a lot of money through inscriptions! I’m afraid there’s only regret waiting for him!”
After walking out of the Oceans Chamber of Commerce, Rebbeca made his way toward other shops.
In Evergreen Town, only the Oceans Chamber of Commerce had inscription masters.
However, it was not the only place that sold inscription materials.
After all, materials for drafting low-level inscriptions were not rare.
Some of them were everyday items.
Rebbeca walked into one shop and purchased a few items.
Then, he wandered around and entered another shop and bought a few things.
About an hour later, Rebbeca carried more bulging paper bags than before.
Each bag was filled with engraving inscription materials.
The few bags might appear light, but Rebbeca finished his remaining three hundred fedulings on them.
At this moment, Rebbeca was once again broke.
However, Rebbeca did not seem dejected.
His gaze was filled with expectation and excitement.
There was a reason why he asked the Oceans Chamber of Commerce’s shopkeeper the price of a piece of lightning inscription.
Through the memory he inherited from the Tower of Life, Rebbeca mastered three types of inscriptions.
One of them was the lightning inscription.
