641: Enchanting Shop

“Of course! No problem at all!” Emily said happily. She thought it was great to have someone accompany her, and it would be safer!

Sak (Hunter) planned to return to his hometown for a while, bringing back the money he earned from this trip to his family, and also buying many things to help out at home.

Farn (Warrior, Captain) and Brad (Shield Warrior) preferred to stay in Silverglow Town, “wasting their lives away” in the tavern.

They were unattached, with no worries, living the typical adventurer and mercenary lifestyle.

Emily also had a family in a village near the Kingdom's Royal City.

Doris, like Farn, was unattached. She originally had a family, but it was destroyed in the monster riot.

“Then I’ll go with you too!” Doris said.

So it was decided that the three women would travel together to the Royal City of the Philis Kingdom.

Although Sak’s hometown was also a town within the Philis Kingdom, it was not on the same route as Emily's, so he set off on his own.

“Let’s rest in town for a day and depart tomorrow,” Emily suggested.

“No problem!” Doris was fine with anything; it was “rest time,” so relaxing was the priority.

“I’m fine, I’ll just follow you guys,” Ally nodded and said. There was even less to say about her; she had the most time and was the idlest person.

There weren't many entertainment options in Silverglow Town, or rather, there weren't many entertainment options in this world to begin with.

After all, with the existence of monsters, secret realms, and professionals, everyone was busy with these things.

In terms of entertainment, there were only taverns, gladiatorial arenas, circuses, and song and dance performances. As for “illegal” things like casinos, they weren't mentioned.

Among them, taverns and gladiatorial arenas were the most popular.

The gladiatorial arenas here were not the “death match” kind. Of course, those did exist, but they were mostly underground; we won’t discuss the “illegal” ones.

The gladiatorial arenas here were similar to “boxing matches” or “MMA,” with professional matches for professionals, and also gladiator matches for “semi-professionals” and “non-professionals.”

These were “legal,” open, and official; anyone could participate or watch.

There was even “betting” (the legal kind is called betting, the illegal kind is called gambling, hey hey!).

In this world, with all the fighting and killing and not much other entertainment, it was naturally extremely popular, especially with the existence of betting.

For many professionals, the gladiatorial arena, besides not providing “level-ups,” was an excellent place to hone combat experience and skills, as well as improve skill proficiency.

What’s more, they even got appearance fees!

The more you win, and the more famous you become, the higher your appearance fee! Plus, you gain renown! You can make a name for yourself!

Become a star gladiator!

This was also a very important factor that attracted professionals.

However, these were only available in cities; Silverglow Town only had taverns.

Of course, there were also some adult services, but Ally didn't need those.

The taverns and inns in this place were actually integrated, but the tavern was a dedicated area, and the adjacent areas and upstairs were the inn.

They also provided various foods and functioned as restaurants.

It could be said to be an integrated facility.

However, Ally, Doris, and Emily weren't interested in drinking and bragging, and the tavern was messy, so they didn't like that environment either.

“How about we go shopping!” Doris suggested.

“I’m fine with anything,” Ally said indifferently.

“Let’s go then~” Emily thought about it and decided to go shopping.

There were various vendors on the street.

There were also people seeking to buy various herbs, monster materials, and the like.

After all, Silverglow Town itself relied on Silverglow Forest for its livelihood.

The demands here were mostly related to the products from Silverglow Forest.

Besides that, blacksmith shops, tailor shops, and the like were also very popular here. A single town had several of them, as one simply couldn't handle the workload.

There were too many people! Adventurers, mercenaries, professionals—the numbers were simply too great!

And there was a large demand every day.

Whether it was “smelting,” “purification,” “repair,” “forging,” etc., there was a huge demand.

Unless you integrated everything into one shop, a normal blacksmith shop couldn't keep up even running 24/7.

“Eh?! An enchantment shop?” Doris suddenly noticed a shop whose decor seemed a bit out of place compared to the surrounding shops.

It looked full of “magical” colors, appearing somewhat “uniquely independent,” and had a sign with the words “Enchantment Shop” hanging.

“It’s the first enchantment shop in Silverglow Town, isn’t it? I just noticed it!” Doris said in surprise.

“Enchantment shop? Is it rare?” Ally asked curiously.

“Enchanting isn’t rare, but enchantment shops are relatively rare. And not to mention Silverglow Town has never had an enchantment shop, many cities don’t have enchantment shops either.

After all, not many noble mages delve into enchanting, and even fewer are willing to serve the “general public”! An enchantment shop is precisely such an existence.

Generally, mages who pursue the path of enchanting are either “sought out” by people, or they enchant for friends, family, or through introductions from acquaintances.

Opening a shop to face the general public is practically out of the question. And the high cost of enchanting itself means it’s not meant to serve the masses,” Emily explained to Ally.

“I see! Let’s go, let’s go in and see what’s going on!” When Ally heard this, she thought, this is interesting!?

She had to go in and take a look!

Most cities didn't even have enchantment shops, and even if they did, they often had “thresholds” that ordinary people couldn't cross.

But now, an enchantment shop had appeared in a place like Silverglow Town!

Ally had to thoroughly explore such an interesting matter.

Not only was Ally curious, but Doris and Emily were also very curious.

As soon as Ally spoke, they immediately followed behind her and walked towards the enchantment shop.

The enchantment shop's door was closed, but not locked.

The dark gold patterns combined with mysterious purple made it look a bit... ugly! At least from Ally's aesthetic perspective, it was a little ugly, but overall it was still very magical and high-class.

Ally directly pushed open the door and walked in.

Doris and Emily, somewhat reserved and curious, followed closely behind. With Ally leading the way, they weren't flustered.

After all, Ally's powerful strength gave them more trust and a sense of security.

An enchantment shop! Noble mages! A luxurious shop!

Enchanting—they had never even considered such a thing!

It was too expensive; they simply couldn't bear to spend their hard-earned money on it.

Moreover, enchanting was tied to equipment. If they were to change equipment, it would mean re-enchanting!

Unless they had a super good piece of equipment that they wouldn't need to replace.

But if they could have equipment of that quality... they wouldn't be short of money for enchanting either.
