"My lady, have you found anything that interests you?"
Another attendant on the entrance floor approached the trio and asked his question after their long browsing.
"As I said before, I want to see cultivation techniques and weapons, but none are here!"
This floor was an area where only potions and various useful stones were displayed; Nafız hadn't found what she wanted.
"My lady, the products you are looking for are available on the upper floors, but there are some restrictions regarding access!"
"Look at those, they are not aware of the hole they came from!"
The young man with the fur-collared cape had appeared again; this time there were no girls with them. He had his friend, who was with them at the registration area too and had a slash extending all along his face.
"Those who came are the plushy one and the babyface. I was just going to ask where this dashing duo remained!"
Alis snarled at the faces of the young men he scanned out of the corner of his eye.
"Yours!"
The reaction of the mocked duo was measured; they had to be. The owners of the place they were in had strict and rigid rules; if there was someone who did not obey these, the result could be very different.
There was once a gang that trusted its power, trashed the branch, and seized many goods; within two days, their dead bodies were being displayed in front of the branch.
Going against the joint venture of the merchant organization of the Mercenaries was not very likely, and the end of those who tried this was not very pleasant for the sake of setting an example.
"What is required for access to the upper floors?"
Nafız did not care about the attitudes of the power animal that took human form; Alis seemed to have already undertaken these tasks she used to do before.
"Low-middle level techniques are available on the second floor; at the same time, low-middle level weapons are also displayed in the same place. As for access restriction, it is cultivation at the Essence Shaping level or belonging to the ruling family of the organization they are bound to."
"Of course, inner court students of the Holy Blood Sect can go up to the second floor without any restriction."
The rules were thought out delicately; actually, all three led to the same door. Without having sufficient power or importance, you were doomed to be restricted to the entrance part.
"Can you accompany us up to the second floor?"
When Jashua extended his ring towards the attendant girl, the young girl's gaze changed suddenly; she didn't recognize the fiefdom sign on the ring, but she would recognize the other one wherever she saw it. This was the sign of the Holy Sect where the business was located.
"Please come this way!"
Without wasting a second, the attendant directed the trio towards the direction they would go; as for the two men standing right behind them, they were watching what was happening with astonished eyes.
"How can I help the young masters!"
When a girl seeing their strange states approached them and wanted to learn their situation, they hadn't come to their senses yet.
"We want to go up to the second floor too!"
"Of course, young master, after the proof that you meet the conditions, I will help you with pleasure!"
The attendant girl was scanning the duo with expectant eyes inside her tight black dress; she wasn't the only one watching. Those witnessing the ongoing events were wondering how the end would be; now one group had gone up to the second floor, while the other was trying this.
"We are elite students of the Bloody Star Clan!"
"I understand, young master, do you have your marker showing that you are from the ruling family of the clan with you?"
The conditions were clear; either Essence Condensation level or belonging to the ruling family of the formation was required.
"The third elder of the Holy Blood Sect belongs to our clan, now show us the way!"
While the girl looked at the duo starting to walk in front of her, she hadn't taken even a single step; she was standing like a statue where she was.
"Is he currently with you?"
"What do you mean? You are just a little whore, do you dare to question my words?"
The fur-clad young man shouted with fury; today he had lost all his face in public, with the fury given by this, he swung a slap at the girl.
It was evident from all over her that the girl was a normal human not doing cultivation, but despite this, her stance hadn't been distorted even a millimeter.
Although the young man was surprised, he didn't stop himself; a middle-aged woman, whose time of arrival was unclear, would do this.
"Let go of my hand, do you know who I am?"
The woman's eyes were flashing; she had forced the young man she grabbed by the wrist to his knees.
"The only reason I don't kill you right here is that the answer to the question you asked is yes, Antuan, leader of the Bloody Star Clan rookies."
When the woman said his name, the young man's breath was cut off; indeed, although she knew his background, she wasn't letting go of his wrist.
"Yesterday, I guess you didn't learn a lesson from two people in your team dying like dogs. Not only you, even if the person you became insolent by saying his name comes, let alone hitting my employee, he wouldn't even raise his voice inside this building!"
Before her words finished, the middle-aged woman hurled the scarred face out of the door with a kick; afterwards, the same end awaited Antuan too.
"If I see you here again, you won't go out in one piece!"
The middle-aged woman disappeared suddenly as she came. All employees were bowing and greeting the place where she was before behind her.
Meanwhile, on the calm second floor, Nafız, Jashua, and Alis were examining the weapons displayed on various shelves.
"We all have weapons, and the cultivation techniques here are things not even worth mentioning next to what we know!"
Alis was showing in every way that he wasn't satisfied with this stroll; the quality of the two katanas standing in his interspatial ring was leagues ahead of those here.
"We didn't come here to play Rambo, you idiot; we can't know what awaits us when we enter the sect!"
Nafız continued walking whispering into Alis's ear; when they came in front of the new counter, she suddenly stopped.
"What is the price of this sword?"
"The lady has very sharp eyes; the product you are interested in is the most special among the weapons found on this floor!"
"A hilt covered with blood stones under the black blade part is a weapon guaranteeing the highest performance for a warrior at the Blood Awakening stage!"
Nafız smiled in a way showing she liked the feeling given by the sword she took in her hand, then her eye slowly slid to the price tag.
"100 Low-Level Blood Crystals!"
When the attendant girl saw Nafız looking at the price, she extended her hand to take back the weapon but saw immediately after that it wasn't in its place.
"What else do you have in hand at the quality of this weapon?"
The weapon had disappeared; there could be only one explanation for this, the customer had a carrying accessory with interspatial dimension.
The seller pulled herself together immediately; looking at the list in her hand, she continued speaking.
"Twenty of the low-level weapons supported with blood stones, ten of the mid-level weapons are available; if you wish, I can introduce them to you!"
"No need, I am taking them all!"
The girl's mouth remained open; the person she underestimated because she looked at the price was saying she would buy one-fourth of the weapons on the second floor in a single transaction.
"Prepare ten of the low and mid-level cultivation methods for me too and report the final price!"
Nafız, settling into the armchairs in the middle of the wide hall, crossed her legs and started waiting; not much, five minutes later, everything she wanted was prepared.
"My lady, the amount of all your orders is three thousand low-level crystals. With the discount I will apply specially for you..."
"No need!"
Nora, rising by waving the skirt of her white dress, took the items on the table into her ring in a single move. Now three blood-red crystals the size of a fist were standing where the items were.
"You can keep the discount amount as your tip!"
The trio started descending from the way they came leaving the young girl whose hands and feet were trembling behind them; the poor seller couldn't move from her place until the sound of the last step was heard.
