The Author Is Speechless-Chapter 17: A street Vendor.

I came here because Rae recommended this place, but I didn't think this place would be this empty.

An empty bar with only one person maintaining the whole place. It was a wooden bar with every furniture made of wood. Even the glasses are made of wood.

Viktor took a seat in front of the owner of the place and ordered 2 steaks with some salad and one alcohol for Rae.

"Isn't this place great Viktor?"

"Yes, but there are no people in here. Is something going on here?"

"Customers. It looks like you're new here. "

A man came and welcomed them with a big smile.

"Yes, It's our first time coming here." Viktor looked at him and saw there was nothing wrong with him.

"A little problem occurred here a day ago so this place is taking a break. We told the other customers to come back tomorrow. That's why this place is empty. But don't worry we are still taking orders. Please wait ."

"This place is quiet. I guess I will come here for some months then move out."

"Wait you're going to move out?" Rae was confused because he didn't know much about him.

"Yes, I will be attending Lyfrone Academy in another territory for 5 years. Then I will come back to the capital city."

"Here you go, customer. Please enjoy your meal."

"Oh, thank you, mister. "

Victor cut his steak into tiny pieces and started to eat peacefully. But the owner of the bar looked like he was trying to ask him a question.

"Customer, sorry I overheard you talking on my way here. Are you planning to take the Lyfrone Academy exam?"

"Yes."

"God, that academy is really mysterious. They run the academy on their own. Even the king doesn't have the authority to go inside of it unless you're a student or a teacher of that academy."

"Yes, I know. "

"Anyway, I wish you good luck. It will be t news of someone from our kingdom passes the exam. "

Viktor paid him 70 silver and left the place to walk around the city.

It was filled with people for the winter festival.

"Rae, let's go on that street. I want to buy something. "

"Okay. Let's go then."

Both of them went to the red light district to find a seller.

There's a side story that was nearly connected to the main story.

There was a street vendor in the red light district who sold weird magic items and other weapons. One day a customer came and saw him beside the street at night.

The red light district was open at night so he was a night worker.

The customer saw a deep green stone which didn't look that useful. But green was the colour he liked. So he bought that for only 1 silver.

He took it back to his home and put it in a drawer.

That night something weird happened and he woke up with one of his arms missing.

He was so scared that he's head wasn't working well. There was no wound or any injury on his missing hand.

Suddenly he heard a noise in the drawer. So he opened it and found his missing arm.

That arm was alright and he was successfully able to put back his arm like lego pieces.

Later he found out it was some kind of power he gained from the stone he bought that night It was a magic that allows him to open his arms and legs like a doll. It was weird but really helpful.

He was able to use his eyes like a camera after leaving them somewhere. He could control his arm pieces as moving body parts.

So he was hired as an information collector for his unique ability.

One day, he was passing the street and saw a woman going somewhere suspiciously.

So he opened his arm and an eyeball to make a walking hand with an eye in the middle. He placed his ear on the finger and let the hand follow her.

He followed the woman with his hand and heard something really important that he became impatient to report to his boss.

But his hand was found out by the first male lead who was there in the alley at that time. He thought he was some kind of demon without an arm and eye. So he killed him.

-There is no need for an innocent man to die. So I will take the stone and keep it in my dimensional pocket. Who knows when I will need it?

After walking for half an hour, he found a man sitting near a red inn with a bunch of things in front of him.

A huge bag with a box was beside him. There were a lot of items displayed on his carpet.

"Hello, mister. Can you show me this white stone?"

Viktor kneel in front of those items and asked for something else instead of the stone he wanted.

"This stone? It's 2 gold."

-This isn't even a C-grade stone-_-.

"This is too much!!"

"Nope! It's the lowest price I can offer. "

Viktor looked at the other items and found something else.

"Minister, Do you sell books in 1 silver?"

"Hm? Those dirty books? Forget about those. Look at these new books, they are good magic books with new attack spells. 1 gold for each."

"But I only have 10 silver. "

Viktor made a sad face and then looked at the green stone.

"Hm? This stone? You can give me 1 silver for this. With those dirty books, give me all you got. And go away.

Huh!!! At least I am selling out the trash in 10 silver."

-Got you-_-.

"Here. 10 silver as promised. "

"Go away now. If you don't have good money, don't come to my shop ever again!"

"Bye!!!"

Both of them ran away from the red light district quickly because they were attracting too many people.

"Oi Viktor. What are you going to do with those old books and dirty stones?"

"Just wait and watch ."

"Are you going to make something?"

"Yes, and it will be my little secret. "

-Heheh! I came to pick up the stone and got something more valuable with only 10 silver.
