With Caitlin's involvement, the price Howard secured for selling his materials was noticeably higher.
With a hefty sum of 53 gold coins credited, Howard didn't hesitate and bought over 100 decayed oak wands.
Seeing Howard make such a purchase for the first time, Caitlin couldn't help but be curious.
After all, apart from Howard, she had never seen anyone buy such a vast number of low-level equipment.
However, understanding that her relationship with Howard wasn't close enough to probe into his secrets, she suppressed her questions and kept her thoughts to herself.
After acquiring the equipment and setting a date post-admission proceedings to explore the Castle of Vampires, Howard promptly left the magic shop.
On his way, Howard picked up whispers about the Bartel family from passing pedestrians.
His suspicions were right!
