Golden Plaza, is a place that could be considered a treasure trove for some people. It's also known as the gathering place of masters.
Currently, two people wearing masks that covered half their faces were stopped by two men in black suits.
"Identification number." One of the men asked the masked duo.
The individual with the fox mask handed over a black chip and both of them were given access immediately. He also gave a black card with a silver lining to Shin.
"Please welcome and enjoy your time in Golden Plaza." Both guards bowed with respect showing utmost courtesy after confirming their authentication.
The guy with the fox mask and the girl with the cat mask entered past the large metal gate.
"Wow, Shin, that was nerve-wracking," Alice exclaimed as they went past the door.
"Shh, don't call me by my name. It's forbidden to reveal identities inside the market. Only the Golden Plaza's owner gets to know that. That's why we are wearing masks." Shin replied while he confirmed no one was paying attention to them. Well, it didn't matter either way. If only Alice had mentioned his family name that would have been a problem.
"Uh-hm. I'll keep that in mind. So what should I call you?" Alice asked with a playful look.
"Whatever you want. As I'm wearing a fox mask you can call me fox." Shin thought and replied casually without thinking much.
"No, No. I don't dare call my darling a fox. I'll just call you darling." Alice said with a playful smile but she kept herself at a limit. She knew they were here for business. So she will only play around a little.
Shin smiled hearing Alice's words but soon his brows furrowed as he remembered something.
He glanced at Alice and asked the question which was in his mind.
"Tell me have you called me darling before too?"
At his words, Alice didn't need to think for a second as she clearly remembers it.
"Yes I did and a lot of times." Alice didn't understand why Shin was asking that question now. But it didn't matter to her.
"So what are you going to call me darling?" She asked with an expectant and excited voice.
"You will know soon enough." Shin smiled as they entered the gate next to them and took the stairs.
As they reached the second floor. They came across a glamorous view. This building was probably a high-class hotel that was used as the place for the market tonight.
There were many people there but everyone had one thing in common they all were wearing different types of face masks. It looked more like a masquerade party. But it wasn't and everyone knew of that fact.
Even if some people dressed lightly compared to others no one made a scene or rather they didn't dare to. Everyone here knew that there are many masters and powerful people between them so they may not want to offend someone by mistake.
"Wow, this place is nice," Alice exclaimed as she glanced around her once to take a look at everything then lost her interest. As she again focused on Shin.
"Let's start searching for what we need. After we purchase them we will find any useful items we can." Shin uttered as Alice also nodded seriously.
This was their objective from the start. They need to prepare everything by tonight. So they can fight against the monsters tomorrow and raid the labyrinth.
"So what do we need first?" Alice asked so she can focus or narrow her search for those items.
"Weapons, the best ones we can get at the lowest price. I think it would also be better to equip your servants, with weapons and raise them." Hearing Shin's words Alice's eyes turned wide in surprise. To be honest she had also thought of providing them with weapons so they can be useful.
When she got transformed into her Queen form. Only then did she understand the true potential of her soldier rank servant.
She needs to train them so they can be a lot more useful. She needs to learn how to be a commander too. This opened a lot of opportunities for her.
So she wanted to give her soldiers some weapons but was hesitant to ask. But seeing that Shin himself proposed the same plan. Alice smiled at him warmly and her love for him increased by bounds.
'I am such a lucky girl to have met you, Shin.'
"So what weapons do you think will be better for them Alice?" Shin was lost in his thoughts thinking about Alice's servants so he didn't notice her change in expression. When Alice heard Shin asking for her opinion she immediately replied.
"I think I should provide them weapons as units. Some soldiers with close range weapons while others with long range. I can try out and see if my formations or tactics work."
Shin nodded his head in agreement.
"That's what I thought too. Now that you also agree with that we should buy weapons for them."
They were inside a large hall and many kinds of sellers and purchasers were there.
"I don't understand why they work so hard every time to arrange this market perfectly," Alice asked in amazement and confusion as she had heard from Shin that they had this market every month in different locations. Only now it was being held every day.
"Well even if the market is temporary. The people who purchase and sell here are all from big influential families." Shin explained it to Alice hinting her the meaning behind his words.
Getting the clue Alice nodded in understanding.
"Well let's start searching for something good okay."
Shin activated his appraisal and began checking around trying to find the best items he could find.
Many weapons were a lot better than any weapons he had ever seen before. Keeping in mind that Shin had never seen his parent's weapons or anyone using from the Wolner clan simply because he wasn't allowed to.
He shook his head as his eyes went from a dagger to a sword.
He then saw there was an empty shop. People look uninterested in going inside. But Shin didn't want to skip anything before deciding. Though he had already come across many good quality weapons he wanted the best.
As both of them entered the shop they were greeted by an old man who was wearing a tiger mask.
"Welcome young ones. What do you need?"
"Hello, Can I look around first?" Shin replied without much courtesy or disrespect. He just acted as a normal customer should. He didn't want to risk revealing his identity. Although it might not affect him much now if the Wolner Clan gets the wind of him being strong or his powers he will encounter a lot of trouble.
The old man was amused at Shin's answer. Alice lightly bowed to the old man and continued following Shin.
Shin looked around at all the weapons and after trying them and feeling them, of course with the seller's permission. He couldn't decide which one to be his main weapon. Because he hadn't learned any weapon techniques, now he can still decide which one to choose.
He picked up the staff and felt it was a great choice for him.
'This one is a lot better than other weapons here.'
When he decided to purchase it. His eyes fell on a back corner of the shop. He felt something was attracting him.
Noticing Shin's sudden change in interest, the old man raised his eyebrows curiously.
Shin followed his feeling and came in front of a place that displayed a few items. An old red cloak, a cracked sword, and a purple metal bar.
[Crimson Cloak [Artifact] - Heroic Grade
A cloak used by a great commander in history who led victories in many losing battles with his ultimate strategies and tactics.
*Bounded to user ]
[Tulas Blade [Artifact] - Semi-Heroic Grade
A sword used by a great warrior in the past who had fought many enemies with it. Although it is damaged it is believed the warrior spirit still resides within it. ]
[Unknown Purple Metal - no information available.]
Although the first two items were very attractive, what attracted Shin the most was the purple metal. There was no information about it but he was very attracted to it.
"I'd like to purchase these three." The old man smiled and nodded. He did expect Shin to purchase the first two items but he didn't expect him to purchase the third one.
"The cloak is 500k, the sword is 100k, and as for the piece of metal 50k." The old man just randomly thought of the amount for the unknown metal as he didn't know what its use was.
Shin nodded his head and immediately paid using the black card he got before. His money was transferred inside while entering the Golden Plaza.
The old man thought 'does this young one knows the true use of it?'
'Well even if he did. I can't do anything about it.'
As the transaction was over Shin purchased weapons in bulk and both of them made their way out.
As Shin was strong enough he didn't have any problem carrying them.
They did attract some people's attention but not too much.
Soon after they were already outside the plaza and they went home while Shin used his Shadow Veil and Gravity control ability to make the items float above them while they were inside the taxi.
Without any weird encounters. Shin and Alice ended up having a fruitful shopping today.
