Chapter 38: [Old Man]
Moments later, he handed Kael a sleek black ring — simple in design, yet exuding an aura of power.
"This ring grants you a personal space — roughly the size of a single room. Safe, private. Perfect for study or rest."
Kael slipped the ring on his finger, feeling a faint hum of magic pulse through him.
He smirked. "Now that’s more like it."
Kael slipped the black ring onto his finger, then carefully placed all his important belongings inside the magical space it created—money, scrolls, even the saved scroll for Selene.
Everything was safe and out of sight.
He left the shop, his mind flickering briefly to Selene. A small, rare smile touched his lips at the thought of her.
Next, he made his way to a nearby dressing shop. "I want the best dress you have," he said calmly.
The shopkeeper’s eyes gleamed with greed, quickly pulling out a rich, finely embroidered garment. "Two hundred gold coins," she said, expecting no less.
Kael handed over the coins without hesitation.
Exiting the shop, now clad in his new attire, he felt the weight of the night approaching. The streets were already growing dim, lanterns flickering on as the city prepared to sleep.
