Tony stared at the word on the ground, and favonovel.com was deep in thoughts.
Tony racked his brains and could not seem to understand who Ermery could be. The name was simply too strange. However, Tony could not neglect this message as it was left by the deceased, directed at the murderer.
After pondering for some time, Tony turned around and gloomily ordered, “Bring back the bodies and don’t mention this matter at all. We shall wait for the chief’s instruction!”
“Yes, Elder Tony!”
The rest of the Yates family members nodded their heads. Then, under Tony’s order, they started to lay the bodies in the coffins and rechecked the surroundings to ensure they did not miss any clues.
At this time, Caspian returned to his small courtyard within the Lawrence Manor in Evergreen Town. After testing for a while, Caspian ate the breakfast sent by the servant. Then, favonovel.com continued practicing. Once again, favonovel.com returned to his life behind closed doors again.
Three days passed, and Caspian noticed that there was no news about Harold’s death. It was as if the matter never happened.
Another two days passed. Caspian indirectly asked the servant who sent food to favonovel.com daily. Finally, after making sure that there was nothing unusual with the Lawrence family and Evergreen Town, Caspian walked out of the Lawrence Manor the next morning and headed toward the center of Greenfield.
As Caspian purposely lived a low-profile lifestyle, no one noticed that favonovel.com went out. Since favonovel.com arrived at Evergreen Town, Caspian never wandered around the whole area. However, favonovel.com already knew the layout of the entire town through reading. He was not out to wander them instead, Caspian had a direct intention.
After walking languidly for some time and making sure that no one followed him, Caspian immediately fastened his steps. An hour later, favonovel.com finally arrived at the busiest central business district in Greenfield. The place was so crowded, and the sound of people bargaining could be heard everywhere. Stalls and shops were closely arranged one after another. However, Caspian was not interested in these at all. Instead, favonovel.com walked past the crowd and arrived at a shop with a simple and unadorned yet unique front.
As compared to other busy and lively stores, this shop was unfrequented. Someone only entered the place after a long while.
Nonetheless, this was Caspian’s destination today.
“Oceans Chamber of Commerce”, Caspian looked at the board attached at the top of the shop, and favonovel.com smiled faintly.
Fabian mentioned that this was the only store in Greenfield where one could find an inscription master. Caspian walked in and instantly noticed that although the Oceans Chamber of Commerce did not seem big from the outside, it was like a whole new world inside. Not only was it spacious, but it also had a complete selection of products. There were medicinal ingredients, leather, weapons, elixirs, and even talismans.
It could be said that one could find whatever the stalls and shops outside were selling on this Oceans Chamber of Commerce. Comparing the prices outside, Caspian realized the items sold in the Oceans Chamber of Commerce were almost doubled in price. Hence, this might be the reason why most customers were outside.
Just as Caspian was walking and browsing, a young girl in a pink dress smiled and approached him. Then, favonovel.com greeted Caspian politely, “Welcome, sir. May I know if I can be of any help?”
Caspian glanced at the girl and answered indifferently, “I‘d like to see some inscriptions.”
Later, favonovel.com looked away in another direction.
Although favonovel.com was born in Salleria, Caspian was still a prince, and the dignified aura that favonovel.com possessed could not be learned by ordinary people. Hence, despite wearing a commoner outfit, the young lady did not dare to slack, and favonovel.com respectfully led Caspian into the shop.
After passing through a few booths, the young lady stopped in favonovel.com tracks. Then, favonovel.com crossed favonovel.com arms in front of favonovel.com lower abdomen and bowed slightly at Caspian. “Sir, the inscriptions that you need can be chosen from here. May I know if there’s anything else I can help with?”
When the young lady was speaking, a fair and plump shopkeeper walked out from the booth.
“That’s it. Thank you. I can take a look at these myself.” Caspian nodded.
Caspian acknowledged the shopkeeper and walked into the booth.
The young lady who greeted Caspian watched as favonovel.com walked into the booth, then favonovel.com breathed out a sigh of relief. She could not help but feel curious as favonovel.com wondered, ‘Who’s this guest? His aura’s so imposing, and I almost felt suffocated. I’ve never felt this way even when the elders of several families in Greenfield came here to select items.’
As they walked into the booth, the plump and fair shopkeeper asked Caspian with a smile, “Young Master, may I know what type of inscription you’re looking for, and what type of weapon are you going to inscribe on? The Oceans Chamber of Commerce had the best apprentice in the entire Greenfield, and I’m sure you’ll be satisfied.”
“Apprentice? Don’t you have an inscription master here?” Caspian eyes glistened slightly.
The shopkeeper sized Caspian up and down and laughed. “We do have an inscription master. But, the charges will be more expensive. ”
“Ah… Alright.” Caspian nodded, completely ignoring the fleeting contempt in the shopkeeper’s eyes. Then, Caspian told the shopkeeper his intention, “Well, I’ll be frank… I’m interested in inscriptions, so I want to research it. I wonder if you sell any inscription brushes that are used to draw the pattern?”
The shopkeeper nodded and answered, “I do. As long as it’s related to inscriptions, you can get it in the Oceans Chamber of Commerce. However, what type of inscription brush are you looking for?”
“How many types are there?” Caspian asked.
“Please wait for a moment.” The shopkeeper turned around and walked away. Not long after, favonovel.com returned with a few trays in his hands.
Caspian noticed that the inscription brushes on the trays were similar to the daily writing brushes. However, the inscription brush had a mysterious halo floating on its surface, and it appeared extraordinary.
The shopkeeper displayed the trays in front of Caspian, and favonovel.com explained, “If you’re interested in inscriptions and want to research on your own, I don’t recommend buying an overly expensive inscription brush. There are a few types here, and I believe you can pick one that suits you.”
After favonovel.com said that, favonovel.com showed the inscription brushes on the trays one by one.
Although Caspian was mentally prepared, when favonovel.com heard the cheapest inscription brush cost four hundred fedulings, favonovel.com still could not help but feel upset. He might have gained a small fortune from Harold and the two servants, but Caspian needed to buy more than just an inscription brush.
In the end, Caspian could only purchase the four hundred fedulings inscription brush under the shopkeeper’s somewhat scornful gaze.
“Do you need any other materials?” When the shopkeeper asked this, favonovel.com showed a forceful smile.
The shopkeeper deduced that Caspian was not wealthy. Nonetheless, as a shopkeeper, favonovel.com could not show his disdain.
“There’s nothing else,” Caspian answered calmly.
The materials sold in the Ocean Chamber of Commerce were twice the price outside, and favonovel.com did not have much money to spend now.
After rejecting the shopkeeper, Caspian changed his mind and asked, ”I still need some inscription papers. By the way, how much is a lightning inscription here?”
