Chapter 7: Cygnia City Bus
"I have arranged a coach to take these ones back to the Academy, and the Princess will be headed home. Do you need a ride anywhere, young man? I can call you a cab." The Captain offered.
Dominic wasn't sure how much a cab would cost to get across town again, but he really couldn't spare anything right now.
According to his Storage Cube, the magitech item inherited from his parents which exploited the laws of space and nature to collect items from dead monsters and store much more than should be possible, he had twenty-four copper coins to his name.
All of which were gained from the Goblins, and that needed to get him some food and a place to sleep after he traded the Copper Daggers that the Goblins dropped into his storage to the Blacksmith.
If he had been thinking, he should have checked the Arcanist's body to see if his companions had looted his corpse. He might have had something good on him when he died.
He was rich, his family wouldn't miss a few little things.
Not all of the goblins gave him a copper dagger, some dropped broken spears, and one had given his a piece of tanned leather, but it was enough to fill the smith's order.
With a final wave to the Guard Captain, Dominic headed back into town and started walking. The air in the industrial area of the city was unpleasant, to say the least, and he wished he had a bit of cloth to make a proper mask.
But after only a few blocks, he saw a transit stand with an odd bus waiting at it. The vehicle had some sort of external piston drive, like a steam locomotive, but it was powered directly by magical crystals, with a mage at the helm.
