Chapter 35
Tony stared at the word on the ground, and he was deep in thoughts.
Tony racked his brains and could not seem to understand who Ermery could be.
The name was simply too strange.
However, Tony could not neglect this message as it was left by the deceased, directed at the murderer.
After pondering for some time, Tony turned around and gloomily ordered, “Bring back the bodies and don’t mention this matter at all.
We shall wait for the chief’s instruction!”
“Yes, Elder Tony!”
The rest of the Yates family members nodded their heads.
Then, under Tony’s order, they started to lay the bodies in the coffins and rechecked the surroundings to ensure they did not miss any clues.
At this time, Jasmine returned to his small courtyard within the Lawrence Manor in Evergreen Town.
After testing for a while, Jasmine ate the breakfast sent by the servant.
Then, he continued practicing.
Once again, he returned to his life behind closed doors again.
Three days passed, and Jasmine noticed that there was no news about Harold’s death.
It was as if the matter never happened.
Another two days passed.
Jasmine indirectly asked the servant who sent food to him daily.
Finally, after making sure that there was nothing unusual with the Lawrence family and Evergreen Town, Jasmine walked out of the Lawrence Manor the next morning and headed toward the center of Greenfield.
As Jasmine purposely lived a low-profile lifestyle, no one noticed that he went out.
Since he arrived at Evergreen Town, Jasmine never wandered around the whole area.
However, he already knew the layout of the entire town through reading.
He was not out to wander them instead, Jasmine had a direct intention.
After walking languidly for some time and making sure that no one followed him, Jasmine immediately fastened his steps.
An hour later, he finally arrived at the busiest central business district in Greenfield.
The place was so crowded, and the sound of people bargaining could be heard everywhere.
Stalls and shops were closely arranged one after another.
However, Jasmine was not interested in these at all.
Instead, he walked past the crowd and arrived at a shop with a simple and unadorned yet unique front.
As compared to other busy and lively stores, this shop was unfrequented.
Someone only entered the place after a long while.
Nonetheless, this was Jasmine’s destination today.
“Oceans Chamber of Commerce”, Jasmine looked at the board attached at the top of the shop, and he smiled faintly.
Fabian mentioned that this was the only store in Greenfield where one could find an inscription master.
Jasmine walked in and instantly noticed that although the Oceans Chamber of Commerce did not seem big from the outside, it was like a whole new world inside.
Not only was it spacious, but it also had a complete selection of products.
There were medicinal ingredients, leather, weapons, elixirs, and even talismans.
It could be said that one could find whatever the stalls and shops outside were selling on this Oceans Chamber of Commerce.
Comparing the prices outside, Jasmine realized the items sold in the Oceans Chamber of Commerce were almost doubled in price.
Hence, this might be the reason why most customers were outside.
Just as Jasmine was walking and browsing, a young girl in a pink dress smiled and approached him.
Then, she greeted Jasmine politely, “Welcome, sir.
May I know if I can be of any help?”
Jasmine glanced at the girl and answered indifferently, “I‘d like to see some inscriptions.”
Later, he looked away in another direction.
Although he was born in Salleria, Jasmine was still a prince, and the dignified aura that he possessed could not be learned by ordinary people.
Hence, despite wearing a commoner outfit, the young lady did not dare to slack, and she respectfully led Jasmine into the shop.
After passing through a few booths, the young lady stopped in her tracks.
Then, she crossed her arms in front of her lower abdomen and bowed slightly at Edgar.
“Sir, the inscriptions that you need can be chosen from here.
May I know if there’s anything else I can help with?”
When the young lady was speaking, a fair and plump shopkeeper walked out from the booth.
“That’s it.
Thank you.
I can take a look at these myself.” Jasmine nodded.
Jasmine acknowledged the shopkeeper and walked into the booth.
The young lady who greeted Jasmine watched as he walked into the booth, then she breathed out a sigh of relief.
She could not help but feel curious as she wondered, ‘Who’s this guest? His aura’s so imposing, and I almost felt suffocated.
I’ve never felt this way even when the elders of several families in Greenfield came here to select items.’
As they walked into the booth, the plump and fair shopkeeper asked Jasmine with a smile, “Young Master, may I know what type of inscription you’re looking for, and what type of weapon are you going to inscribe on? The Oceans Chamber of Commerce had the best apprentice in the entire Greenfield, and I’m sure you’ll be satisfied.”
“Apprentice? Don’t you have an inscription master here?” Jasmine eyes glistened slightly.
The shopkeeper sized Jasmine up and down and laughed.
“We do have an inscription master.
But, the charges will be more expensive.
”
“Ah… Alright.” Jasmine nodded, completely ignoring the fleeting contempt in the shopkeeper’s eyes.
Then, Jasmine told the shopkeeper his intention, “Well, I’ll be frank… I’m interested in inscriptions, so I want to research it.
I wonder if you sell any inscription brushes that are used to draw the pattern?”
The shopkeeper nodded and answered, “I do.
As long as it’s related to inscriptions, you can get it in the Oceans Chamber of Commerce.
However, what type of inscription brush are you looking for?”
“How many types are there?” Jasmine asked.
“Please wait for a moment.” The shopkeeper turned around and walked away.
Not long after, he returned with a few trays in his hands.
Jasmine noticed that the inscription brushes on the trays were similar to the daily writing brushes.
However, the inscription brush had a mysterious halo floating on its surface, and it appeared extraordinary.
The shopkeeper displayed the trays in front of Frank, and he explained, “If you’re interested in inscriptions and want to research on your own, I don’t recommend buying an overly expensive inscription brush.
There are a few types here, and I believe you can pick one that suits you.”
After he said that, he showed the inscription brushes on the trays one by one.
Although Jasmine was mentally prepared, when he heard the cheapest inscription brush cost four hundred fedulings, he still could not help but feel upset.
He might have gained a small fortune from Harold and the two servants, but Jasmine needed to buy more than just an inscription brush.
In the end, Jasmine could only purchase the four hundred fedulings inscription brush under the shopkeeper’s somewhat scornful gaze.
“Do you need any other materials?” When the shopkeeper asked this, he showed a forceful smile.
The shopkeeper deduced that Jasmine was not wealthy.
Nonetheless, as a shopkeeper, he could not show his disdain.
“There’s nothing else,” Jasmine answered calmly.
The materials sold in the Ocean Chamber of Commerce were twice the price outside, and he did not have much money to spend now.
After rejecting the shopkeeper, Jasmine changed his mind and asked, ”I still need some inscription papers.
By the way, how much is a lightning inscription here?”
