Lord Who Visit Another World

I walk inside the rune store and see the previous woman waiting for my return at the front table. When she sees me, she smiles a little and then walks toward me.

"Welcome back."

"Yes. Is there any private room where we can conduct this business?"

"Of course. Please follow me on the second floor. We can also attach another rune into your body there."

"Of course."

While following the woman in front of me.

"Hey… er?"

"Lunaria, sir."

"Isaac, nice to meet you."

"You too, sir."

"Anyway, is this store selling a rare rune by any chance?"

"What kind of rune, sir?"

"Like Rage or Thunder rune."

"Ah. Sadly we don't have that kind of rune, but we do have Flowing and Mother Earth Rune."

"I see. Then let's see how much you pay for this trade before I decide if I want to attach those runes."

"Of course, sir."

We arrived in front of one of the rooms on the second floor. When we walked inside, the woman let me sit down on the chair while she prepared some tea for me to drink. After a minute of waiting, the woman placed down the tea on the table before saying.

"So, shall we start the trade?"

"Of course."

I placed down a box that I carried from the inn. I buy this box from the inn earlier to place down the item I need to sell.

"This is the Raw Magical Crystal I want to sell."

"I see. Do you mind me inspecting it?"

"Go ahead. I don't mind."

I take the tea that has been served to me and takes a sip.

Hmmm. It is delicious.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Lunaria looks at the man in front of her for a second before taking the massive crystal inside the box he brought with him. Isaac keeps his word that he will be back in a few minutes and not go to the trade house.

It looks like Madam Rose is right. This massive raw magical crystal can be sold in the trade house, and the trade house will put it in the auction for sure.

She takes out the crystal and pushes a little bit of my mana inside the crystal. Instead of feeling a lingering of mana inside the crystal-like many Raw Magical Crystal in the market, she felt a stream of mana flowing inside the crystal. It was like seeing a vortex of mana.

Lunaria looked at her customer, Isaac, still shocked at the amount of mana inside the crystal. Usually, this kind of crystal can be used for twenty or so rune containers IF it was a normal crystal. By the look of this crystal, it can be used for at least a hundred rune containers!

"A-are you sure you want to sell this in here?"

"Hm? Of course. I promised to sell it here, didn't I?"

"I see. Would you mind if I take this crystal to my superior?"

"No, I don't mind. Go ahead."

"Thank you."

Lunaria walks toward Madam Rose's office, and when madam Rose says that she can walk inside, Lunaria walks inside and places the crystal on the table. Madam Rose touches the crystal with her hand, and she has the same reaction Lunaria had earlier.

"This is… Are you sure he wants to sell this?"

"Yes, madam."

"I see…. Buy this crystal at a high price. 5 million potch minimum and 15 million potch at maximum. 5 million should be good enough for the first price, and right now, 15 million potch is what I willing to give to him."

"Of course, madam."

With her instruction clear, Lunaria walks away from the room and goes back to the room where she leaves Isaac alone. When she walks inside the room, she can see Isaac sipping his tea, but there is a cake on top of the table beside the tea. She wonders where he got those cakes.

"Sorry for the wait."

"No problem. The tea is good. I couldn't help but almost drink it all. I'm sorry about that."

"It was not a problem, sir. It was my pŀėȧsurė to serve you the tea."

"So, how is it?"

"Ah! Yes… My superior says that she can over you 5 million potch for this crystal."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When I hear the money Lunaria is willing to waste on this crystal; it almost makes me spill all the tea. 5 million potch for a single crystal? Holy moly.

One loaf of bread is 20 potch, an average rent of an inn is 120 potch per night, not including food, and one longsword is about 1000 potch. By looking at that price, I can guess that 5 million potch can buy me a small piece of land or a medium to a large-sized building.

"Is it not enough? How about 6 million potch?"

"How much for the Flowing Rune?"

"Flowing rune? It will cost you 32000 potch."

"I see. Then 5 million is good enough for me."

"Are you sure?"

"Yup."

Lunaria hesitated a little before nodding her head. I guess I understand her hesitation. When someone is willing to pay you 6 million gold coins, but you only want 5 million, then there must be something wrong.

"Also, you can take the money from this trade for my Flowing Rune. I want it attached to my left hand."

"Of course. It will not be a problem."

"Oh, before you go. Can someone have more than one rune in their body?"

"Yes. However, it was not recommended. There are a few requirements to do this. The first one is that a person needs a massive amount of mana in their body. The second one is that the person needs to train their body to be strong enough for the rune. The last one is that the said person needs perfect control of their magic."

"I see….. What do you think of me? Do you think I can have more than three runes?"

"Hmmm…. You already fulfill the two requirements needed for the last one… I suggest you train your new rune first as each of your runes have a different effect on your body."

"Like what?"

"Pale Gate Rune has a passive ability that increases the user mana quality by a hundred percent. It makes your mana denser than before, and not only that; it also increases your affinity to summoning spells. I also hear it also gives you an affinity to Void spells, like teleportation or void traveling. Darkness Rune increases your affinity to the Darkness element and also the Death. Your affinity with death makes you harder to be killed. You can continue to fight even when you lose a huge amount of blood from your body. All runes give the user a boost in their mana reserve, but it will increase with time. You can, of course, make the process faster with training."

I see. That means I can increase my mana capacity if I continue using my rune over and over again. Not only that, but it also opens up more options of attack for me to use in the future. I'm really glad to come to this universe. Not only is the rune an individual entity inside my body that does not need mana to cast their attack, but it also gives a boost to my mana as well.

"I see. What Flowing Rune gives me?"

"Flowing Rune will increase your water affinity by a large margin. It also lets you breathe underwater. The rune also increases your ice affinity by a small amount and increases the effectiveness of all healing spells you had."

"I see. Yes, I will have a Flowing Rune, please."

"Of course. Please lie down on the bed while I do the process."

I lie down on the bed without saying any word, and Lunaria begins massaging my hand once again. However, this time it was not as uncomfortable as before, but a few seconds later, the same headache as before still happening as a rush of knowledge appeared inside my head.

For a few seconds, I was still lying down on the bed while rubbing my forehead before sitting down on the bed and looking at Lunaria, who smiled at me.

"The process is done, sir."

"Yes, Thank you."

"The money will be given to you in a few minutes. Are you willing to stay here? Or do you want to go back to the inn first?"

"About the money…. Do you know someone named Viktor or Flik? I hear they are rather famous."

"Yes. They are the leader of a band of mercenaries that fight against the Highland. If not for them, the South Window will fall under the Highland control."

"Then you should know the North Window city then?"

"Ah! Do you mean Dunan City? The name has been changed not too long ago."

"I see. Anyway, I want you to send that money to North Window and give it to Viktor, Flik, Shu, or Riou. They are the people that should receive the money."

"We can do that… But are you sure, sir?"

"Yes."

"Then we will do that. Don't worry. We will deliver the money to them. You can count on us."

"I know."

With all the business done, I walk away from the store and begin to leave the city. It is time for me to leave and go back to my pocket dimension. However, I don't want to get back just yet as I still want to train my rune inside my pocket dimension.

Anyway, I trust the store to deliver the money to Riou in the hope it will help the war against the Highland. If the store did not send the money, then I cannot do anything about it. I don't lose anything and only gain something from the transaction anyway.

Now… It is time to grind.
