52: Seal obtained

Hearing this, Litton thought for a moment, then agreed to Ron's request.

Firstly, he was middle-aged and travel-weary; the journey had indeed been quite arduous.

He simply didn't have the energy to wander around anymore.

Secondly, as Ron said, he was bold yet meticulous, and never made mistakes in his work.

Even without him accompanying, nothing would go wrong.

As for the third reason... the location of their inn, though not in the noble district, was a gathering place for the Wealthy District.

Therefore, security was guaranteed; the only thing to worry about, perhaps, was not getting pickpocketed?

However, to be on the safe side, after Litton nodded in agreement, he still earnestly gave a few instructions.

"Alright, but be careful and don't go too far."

"Also, remember the name of the inn. If you get lost later, ask someone. Got it?"

Ron quickly agreed, then turned and left.

After stepping out, Ron looked around, identified his bearings, and then turned left, walking straight towards the church.

Before coming to Kula City, he had already done his research.

Coupled with the relationship map of the five major forces he had previously obtained, the map included the location of the church.

Twenty minutes later, Ron's steps were unhurried.

After turning a corner and crossing a road, he looked up and saw a tall, domed building not far away.

"Is this the Temple Church? It's truly magnificent..."

Ron's eyes flashed; the footprint of this church looked to be about one square kilometer.

Moreover, the surrounding architectural complex also had a strong religious atmosphere.

Because Kula City covers a huge area, there are dozens of small prayer churches.

However, if one speaks of the true Temple Church—the so-called cathedral—there is only this one before him.

And in order to allow most of the people in Kula City to go to the church for worship and prayer, the cathedral's location was not situated in the noble residential area, but built in the ordinary Wealthy District.

At this time, it was not yet noon.

Ron stepped forward, but did not go directly to the church.

Instead, he wandered around for a bit and arrived in front of a shop called [Glory Jewelry Store].

There were two guards at the entrance, whose aura was restrained but still full of majesty.

Ron estimated that they, like the guards at the city gate, must be at the realm of High-Rank Apprentice Knight.

At this moment, Ron walked past them, pushed the door open, and entered the shop.

He remained expressionless, looked around, and came to a counter.

"Hello, sir, welcome to Glory Jewelry Store."

Behind the counter, a dignified and slender female service attendant walked over.

"May I ask, what would you like to see? If it's convenient, you can tell me your needs, and I'll introduce some options to you."

The female attendant said, her smile bright, her demeanor graceful, and her politeness made one feel as if bathed in a spring breeze.

Hearing this, Ron also said nonchalantly, "Hello, I have a younger sister, and her birthday is in a few days."

"So I want to buy her a gift. What kind of jewelry would be suitable?"

Upon hearing Ron's words, the female attendant did not immediately make recommendations.

Instead, she carefully asked about the girl's age, preferences, and Ron's budget.

After Ron answered each question, she then led him to another counter.

"Sir, these few pieces of jewelry should all meet your needs."

Ron looked down, pretending to choose carefully, and had the attendant take out the jewelry for comparison.

Time passed bit by bit; it was now twelve o'clock.

After a while, someone suddenly rushed in from outside.

This person was about seventeen or eighteen years old, dressed in a nun's habit, and was panting heavily.

"Hello, Ms. Attendant, I'm Martha. The silver ornament I ordered from you earlier, is it still available?"

The nun ran to the counter next to Ron's and asked impatiently.

Not far away, Ron, who had been observing from the counter, had a flicker in his eyes.

At the same time, he put a cheap silver-plated ornament he was holding into its box.

Just then, the female attendant opposite Martha thought for a moment and then smiled as she replied, "Of course, you paid a deposit earlier, so we will keep it for you until the ordering period ends."

The female attendant turned and took out a box from the counter.

Opening it, she revealed an exquisite silver necklace inside.

Seeing this, Martha immediately breathed a sigh of relief, then, with a smile on her face, pulled out a bulging money bag from her person.

"This is the remaining balance, please count it."

Martha handed over the money bag, and while waiting for the other party to count the money, she happily began to play with the necklace.

After a while, the female attendant finished counting and said to Martha, "Ms. Martha, the balance is exact. We are settled."

Martha nodded and then left with the silver ornament.

The female attendant, meanwhile, took the money bag to the payment counter.

At the same time, after Ron saw this scene, he immediately told the female attendant in front of him that he had chosen the bracelet in the box.

The female attendant nodded, then led Ron to the payment area.

"Sir, the price of this silver ornament is five silver coins and twenty copper coins."

The cashier said, and Ron pulled out a gold coin directly from his pocket.

"Here you go."

The cashier paused for a moment, then quickly asked, "Excuse me, do you have smaller change?"

Hearing this, Ron shook his head and said, "Sorry, I used up all my small change when I bought other items earlier."

At this point, as if he had thought of something, Ron quickly added, "Oh, by the way, if possible, please give me more small denomination change."

This request was not too difficult.

Therefore, the cashier nodded and agreed.

She then pulled open the cash drawer under the counter and began to make change.

Ron's eyelids were lowered, and he naturally looked inside through the glass window.

He saw that in order to make change, the cashier casually took out the coins Martha had just given her as well.

Seeing this, Ron remained calm, without any abnormality.

But in his heart, he quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Sir, here is your change. Please count it carefully; we are not responsible once it leaves the counter."

The cashier said, then pushed a pile of coins over.

Ron didn't decline and pretended to examine them.

At this moment, when he touched a coin whose pattern was completely worn away and looked very old, his movements paused slightly, then he silently continued counting.

"The amount is correct, thank you for your help."

Ron politely thanked her, then put all the money into his money bag.

And holding the box containing the silver bracelet, he walked out of the jewelry store's main entrance.
