Heimarian Odyssey

Locke is a middling officer in the Kingdom of Faustian’s army. He happens to be at the wrong place at the wrong time, or the right place at the right time, depending on your perspective, and happens to save the kingdom’s princess. As fortune would have it, love prospers, but in a world of peasantry and nobility, a middling, peasant-born soldier has no right to love a princess. Locke is nothing if not determined, however, and sets out to become someone worthy of loving the princess, someone her family can accept. But that path is neither short, nor safe, as our hero will soon discover.

Deal

The black-armored man was taken aback at first, and then he began to think. Equipment that could store living things had to be spatial equipment. Spatial equipment had always been the more popular and difficult type of magic equipment. Since the person in front of him could ask about it, he must have the ability to buy it. The black-armored man judged.

He didn't have such an item on hand. Just as he was thinking about which of his brothers had such equipment, the female knight who went into the bar earlier came out with a glass of beer.

"Brother Moss, let Howl look after your stall. My brother wants you to come in for a drink!" the female knight shouted at the black-armoured man.

"By the way, Lani, do you have the summoner's item with you now?" The black-armoured man seemed to have thought of something and raised his head to ask the female knight.

"Hmm? The spatial pouch of that poor mid-rank Lehrling? "asked the female knight.

Locke almost spat out a mouthful of blood. It was the first time he'd heard someone call a caster poor.

"Yes." The black-armoured man pointed at Locke and said, "Brother, you might need to use the item in there."

The female knight stopped in her tracks and looked at Locke carefully. She seemed to be making sure that Locke was to her liking before slowly taking out a yellow pouch from her spatial ring.

She shook the pouch in one hand and a large number of items fell out. Most of them were books, some materials and empty reagent bottles.

The yellow pouch was the spatial pouch that the female knight mentioned. It was also a type of spatial equipment that was of the lowest grade. Generally, only knights who weren't rich and needed a large storage space would use it. Knights and casters who were rich wouldn't use such low-grade equipment.

When Locke first advanced to a mid-rank Knecht, if he hadn't received the spatial ring that Angelina had given him, he would've most likely chosen a cheaper spatial ring or a larger spatial pouch.

It was no wonder that the female knight said that this mid-rank Lehrling was poor. Almost none of the items in the spatial pouch were useful to knights like them. The books and empty reagent bottles were usually not bought unless they were packaged and sold to casters. The Hall of Knights would accept spoils of war that weren't of much use to knights, but they wouldn't pay a high price.

"Can I have a look at that?" Locke pointed at a small silver-white pouch that had fallen on the stall. He'd heard the black-armoured man say that this was a summoner's net worth.

There were many subdivisions among the Summoners. Some Summoners were good at summoning elemental magical beasts, some Summoners were more inclined to summon from other planes, and some Summoners liked to capture magical beasts from their own planes as magical pets.

If it was the latter, Locke would have a great harvest this time.

"Feel free to look around!" The female knight waved her hand graciously. She was still holding a glass of beer in her other hand. She chatted with the man and took a sip while sneaking glances at Locke.

Strictly speaking, this was her first time selling something. Although she was only a high-rank Knecht, she had a brother who was stronger than her and a group of teammates who cared about her more than her brother did. Lannie would always be rewarded after every battle, but she had never sold her spoils before.

No one wanted the Summoner's portal bag, so they gave it to Laney as a toy.

"Except for this pile, I want all of them!" He pointed at the pile of major monster feathers in his dimensional bag and said that he didn't want them. He then took everything else, including the books and empty reagent bottles.

"Cough! Cough! " The female knight's chest heaved up and down as if she'd choked on a mouthful of beer. It took her a while to get used to it.

"Are you sure you want all of them?" she asked excitedly.

"Yes!" Locke could already tell that she was a money-grubber. Her eyes shone with a golden light that only gold coins would.

"Price, price …" Well … " The female knight was about to ask for a price, but she somehow swallowed her words. It was her first time selling something, so she didn't know what price was appropriate.

"How about three high-grade crystal cores or four thousand gold moores?" suggested the man in black armour.

"Yes! That's the price! "The female knight couldn't wait to confirm. Four thousand gold moores was her brother's allowance for two months.

"No, it's too expensive. Locke refused without hesitation. "The only thing that's useful to me is this silver beast pouch. It's not worth the price."

If he wasn't mistaken, the pouch in Locke's hand was used to store familiars. It could only be used to store familiars that had a caster's mental imprint.

The man in black armour had studied the pouch before. Although it had a faint magical pulse, it didn't seem to be some kind of spatial equipment. He didn't expect it to be a tool for casters to store living creatures.

The man in black armour knew that only casters who trained in mental power could use this type of equipment. The silver beast hide was obviously one of them.

"Name a price then!" The man in black armour said. These items were completely useless to them and they didn't lack money. He wanted Locke to name a price so that they could use it as a reference when they got their hands on something like this again.

"I'll give you at most one crystal core for this beast pouch," said Locke.

"Well, the core is worth more than gold moores. What do you think?" asked the man in black armour.

"Deal!" The female knight agreed without much thought.

"What about the others? Didn't you say you want all of them? " The female knight blinked her big beautiful eyes and looked at Locke expectantly. Whether she'd be able to afford the cosmetics on Menelisa Avenue this month depended on this tycoon in front of her.

Menelisa Avenue was a long street that catered to noblewomen. Usually, only noblewomen like counts or marchionesses would go there to shop. As a high-rank Knecht, the female knight could barely make it there.

"I'll pay three hundred gold moores for these empty reagent bottles," said Locke after thinking for a while with his chin in his hand.

He could bring them back to see if Angelina needed them. Even if she had enough, he could give them to Glace. He knew that Glace had been studying herbalism recently.

"What about these books?" The price of the empty reagent bottles was reasonable. The female knight had brought them to the grocery store to ask for the price. The number of books scattered on the ground was much more than the other things.

"Well …" Locke was troubled. Since they were books from a summoner's spatial pouch, the women at home probably wouldn't be able to use them. He mainly wanted to see if Angelina, who liked to read, would be interested.

The female knight was worried that Locke would change his mind when she saw his hesitation. A high-rank major monster crystal core and three hundred gold moores added up to about sixteen hundred gold moores. It was enough to buy the high-end cosmetics that she'd been eyeing for a long time, but she also wanted to buy a few new pieces of jewellery. Did she really have to use her living expenses? No way!

"How about ten gold moores per catty?" The female knight suddenly had a brainwave and voiced her idea.

"By the catty?" Locke didn't know how to react. This was the first time he'd heard that magic books could be sold by the catty.

After a long silence, Locke finally agreed to the female knight's suggestion. "Deal!"
