Chapter 17: Town of Greyfen
"This should be enough..."
Hal wiped the sweat off his forehead with a satisfied smile after tying shut a new, huge sack bag he had just purchased for twenty copper coins—a necessary expense, and around an eighth of his entire humble coin reserves.
He had successfully gotten the mission, and of course, Hal planned to take every boon he could from it.
The monsters' arcane cores were among his primary targets.
Although mere F-ranked monsters, the Mischievous Housesprites' cores would probably sell for around ten copper coins each, and with just two of them, Hal would be able to earn back the cost of his new sack bag.
Once done with his preparations, Hal strode out of his dormitory room, clearly in high spirits again.
He then made his way toward the academy's south exit, as he needed to leave through Aeloria City's southern gate.
To his surprise and intrigue, he passed by a small military camp where a platoon of the Imperial Army's wizards were moving about, setting up various devices as though they were tracking something.
Hal took note of them but his attention didn't linger by much.
He cared much more about his mission.
Unfortunately, upon arriving at the Donkey Exchange Terminal, Hal was utterly flabbergasted at the price of a regular seat on a donkey cart.
