Chapter 81: Rising Troubles... Purchasing Array Materials
After cultivating for a while, Kranos decided to continue studying arrays. It would be perfect if he could start crafting Rank 3 arrays. Previously, if it hadn’t been for the Pause Array he’d carved, there was no way he would’ve escaped the academy. The importance of arrays couldn’t be underestimated.
Unfortunately, he didn’t have many array papers left. At that thought, Kranos frowned. He decided to wait for Leroy to return before asking if he could acquire Rank 3 array tools.
Kranos opened the Foundation of Arrays book. Since he was now far from the academy, he no longer worried about his location being tracked. Before long, he immersed himself completely in the study of arrays.
Time flew by, and before he realized it, Leroy was back. Hearing the door shut, Kranos walked out of his room and headed to the parlor to meet him.
He immediately asked, "What’s the update? Any auctions ongoing, or peculiar items available?"
Leroy shook his head. "There are no auctions for now. As for unique treasures, there are a few—but most are already sold, and the rest are outrageously priced."
Kranos nodded, having already guessed as much. "Are there any array books available here?" he asked next.
Leroy’s eyes widened in surprise. "You’re an Array Master?"
Kranos responded with a faint nod.
Leroy went quiet for a moment, clearly thinking, before speaking again. "There shouldn’t be any array books here, but array papers might be possible. This place is a major trading hub between humans and elves. The elves possess a wide range of knowledge, so getting your hands on a few array papers should be doable."
After a brief pause, he added, "However, the price for those papers will likely be steep. They might even demand rare treasures in exchange."
