Chapter 82: Purchasing Array Papers... Encountering Rose...
Not long after walking into the antique shop, they finally encountered someone who seemed like a receptionist. It was a man who looked to be in his twenties. Sensing his cultivation, Kranos realized he was already at the Golden Core Realm. He was slightly surprised.
Upon seeing them, the man gave a slight bow and said, "Welcome to Gravel Antique Shop, esteemed guests." He then gestured for them to follow him. As they walked, he asked, "What do you wish to purchase?"
"Array materials," Kranos replied lightly.
Hearing this, the young man glanced at Kranos, a flicker of surprise flashing through his eyes. He immediately nodded and picked up his pace, heading down a different corridor. Kranos and Demule followed, matching his steps.
Soon, they were led into an inner room. Inside, Kranos spotted a man inspecting something in his hand—on closer look, it appeared to be a piece of jewelry. Without needing much thought, Kranos immediately guessed the man’s identity.
The man, sensing their arrival, turned to glance at them. He looked like a refined gentleman in his late thirties, with a slightly mischievous glint in his eyes. Kranos wasn’t sure if it was just his imagination, but that was the impression he got.
As soon as they entered, the man placed the object he was appraising onto the table and addressed them. "Welcome to Gravel Antique Shop. What can I do for you?"
His voice wasn’t as feminine as Kranos had guessed due to his beauty—it was actually quite deep. Kranos quickly got to the point.
"Array papers. And open scrolls. How many do you need, and what rank?" Gravel asked, concealing his surprise. He had already guessed Kranos might be an Array Master, but his young age made Gravel treat him even more respectfully.
