Chapter 552: Pebbles
“Yes? Yes! My bodyguard” Bookie answered with a nod, “Can I look at the rocks?” he asked. He was ready to potentially trade the vampire book or his mithril dagger for one of the rocks, being able to help Sofia with the rest of her trial was more important than his physical possessions. He was even prepared to sell his magic gloves if he needed to, although it would make him really sad.
“Of course, of course!” The merchant answered, rubbing his hands together, “You cheap lot, scram! Make some space for the young sir! Pscht!” he angrily hissed, waving the other customers away.
Rude.
Bookie walked up closer to the stall as the other skeletons backed up a few steps, Bookie’s appearance was provoking a lot of discussion.
“There’s no way this little guy knows what he’s doing,” one skeleton said from behind Bookie.
“Poor kid’s going to get fleeced,” another one answered.
Bookie ignored them, skelepathically talking to his secret weapon. The Kidjikkik Digger skeleton.
A Kidjikkik whose sole purpose for existence was digging tunnels and harvesting precious ore to allow the Kidjikkik matriarchs to produce more Kidjikkiks.
The Kidjikkik skeleton was immensely stupid, but Bookie believed pointing out the most valuable rock was in its capabilities. The Kidjikkik looked at the stall, and it only took three seconds before one of his legs tapped Bookie’s spine three times.
