Chapter 243: Pirates
Irwin walked through the massive shop, scanning for useful cards. Far behind him, Boohm was holding a shouting match with the shop owner while the sales personnel were hovering around wide-eyed.
He'd watched it for only a minute before quickly setting out in search of cards.
His head was almost brushing against the low ceiling as he looked around the shelves, bookcases, and crystal-covered tables. The entire room was filled with powerful soulforce ripples, and a chaotic soft cacophony of sounds rang out from everywhere, almost like a busy square with thousands of whispered conversations.
Greldo was moving around nearby, humming happily. He already had a dozen cards in his hand, all shadow oriented and priced around a thousand soulshards.
Far away, Rindiri was talking to her kids sternly, shaking her head.
Irwin picked up something about no more than five thousand each, and he grinned. He had told them they could pick out something, but Rindiri seemed intent on curbing their enthusiasm.
Let's see if I can find some cards for beginning smiths, he thought.
He wanted to have enough for Trimdir to start a proper Smith's Guild at Eluathar, one that wouldn't be dependent on anyone else. At least not until they were strong enough to guard their world.
"Make sure you don't buy too much in one spot," You'gyn whispered. "It's going to draw attention."
Irwin's hand stopped before he could take another two amethyst hammer-summoning cards.
"Take those and stop," You'gyn said, seeming to feel his hesitation.
Irwin did as asked before looking around. Greldo was looking at him with one raised eyebrow.
