Preparation

" For you to look down on you must be trash when compared to your brothers I guess," said Ray while looking at Ellis.

" Is not like the young master is trash, but he doesn't want to be in the clan struggle" replied Kate.

"What struggle are you talking about," asked Ray.

" I am talking about the next clan head" replied Kate.

" You see if the young master were to be in the same realm with his brother the Battle for the sit will be filled with blood," said Maria.

" Enough with all this nonsense, and drink more," said the drunk Ellis.

Seeing how wasted Ellis is, I got this feeling that being born in an influential clan does not mean life will be an easy sail for you. Take Ellis for example even though he is a young master of the Gibson clan he is going through hardship.

After we were done drinking, we left the pub for the courtyard and on the way would be mock by the clan members. Ignoring them we made our way to the courtyard and taking Ellis to his room, Maria took me to a room that is big enough for 2 people to stay as my temporary living quarters before walking out to take a rest.

Then in the morning, Maria went to the clan auction house to auction out the beast parts that I gave to her, and it didn't take long before she came back. Seeing how she came barehanded I thought she was not able to auction them out only to see her throwing a ring towards me.

" That ring contains two hundred spirit stones. You check to confirm the figure" said Maria while waiting for my response.

" There will be no need for that, oh before I forgot where can I purchased weapons," asked Ray while toying with the storage ring.

" If you are looking to purchase weapons, you can find some good quality in the blacksmith shop, or you can just ask a blacksmith to make you one" replied Maria.

" Will it be possible for a blacksmith to make me a blade before we move out," asked Ray.

" Forging weapons take days or weeks to forage" replied Maria who seem to be getting tired of Ray's questioning.

Not waiting for me to ask more questions, Maria quickly shows me the direction to the blacksmith shop before storming out of the room.

Since it's my first time owning a storage ring I couldn't operate it left with no choice I have to ask the system for help.

Wasting no time I let the courtyard after refreshing and went to the market. Since it's my first time going to the market I couldn't help but feel amazed at how busy the place was. So this is how the market. Having taken the sight in I followed the map that leads to a building with the sign of a hammer hitting steel which signifies the blacksmith shop.

Wasting no time, I head in only to see some bulky men forging different weapons while others are forging armor. Still looking at the forgers I almost forgot what I came for in the first place, if not for the receptionist calling out to me.

" Welcome to our humble workshop, how may I be of service to you," asked the receptionist.

" I would love to purchase a blade replied Ray.

" Right this way sir," said the receptionist before leading me to a room filled with blades of different shapes and sizes before gesturing for me to make my pick.

Since I don't know which of the blades are more suited for me, I decided to ask the system for help, and it didn't take long before a blade came to view.

*ding*

[Item name: sword of Justice (intermediate tier weapon) +4 STR]

This will add a lot to my strength, with the additional four points to my strength fighting those goblins won't be that difficult.

" How much are you selling this blade, "asked Ray while pointing at the blade.

" Sir have a sharp eye for the good stuff, sword of Justice is an intermediate tier weapon which cost one hundred and fifty spirit stone" replied the receptionist with a warm smile on her face.

^_^

What the heck, one hundred and fifty spirit stone for merely a sword isn't this day-time robbery. But else can I do, since we are going to kill more beast, there will be more than enough to get my spirit stones back.

After making up my mind I withdraw one hundred and fifty spirit stones from my storage ring and give it to her before equipping the sword as my primary weapon before leaving the shop and went back to the courtyard only to receive news from Kate that Ellis is looking for me. Since I have nothing doing I went with her to Ellis's room.

" Ah finally you are back," said Ellis!

" Yeah am back, I heard you were looking for me, "asked Ray.

" Yes, since we are going to the warbarry cave, and you are now working for me, I decided to gift you this chain mail for protection" replied Ellis while laughing.

Assessing the chain mail I was shocked to see that the attribute was not bad at all.

*ding*

[item name: gradon mail (basic tier armor) +2 DEF].

" How was it, do you like it," asked Ellis while still laughing.

Nodding to his word, I decided to put it on, and at first, it was kind of tight for my liking, but later it becomes too fit.

" Now you look like a man to me," said Ellis while laughing and Kate and Maria also follow suit

" Very funny, but you see I have always been a man since the day I was given birth to"replied Ray.

" You are a man alright, but you will have to prove it tomorrow when we face off with the goblin," said Ellis in a serious tone this time around.
