The sun had already set at that point.
When they opened the door to the contact point
Siwoo was astonished.
Perhaps because when they came in, it felt like they did it in a rather secretive way? Or perhaps because this place was hidden from the rest of the port?
Before they opened the door and entered, he thought that the place would have a black market-like atmosphere, just like the Blue Snake Junction.
Contrary to his expectation, the place felt like a normal night market oned see in Busan or Ulsan.
The interior was much more spacious than he expected.
Woahhow big is this place?
Should be around 2,000 pyeong1around 6,661 square meter.
Considering that a football field was 2,200 pyeong2around 7,272 square meter, it was safe to say that the place was twice as big as what Siwoo had expected.
Maybe because the place wasnt always available all year, most of them only set up temporary stalls. Said stalls were lined up in rows of five.
Some of the shops used a whole container as a stall, perhaps trying to imitate real shops.
The ceiling, which was ten meters high, didnt resemble your usual warehouses ceiling with hoists installed here and there. Instead, there were mercury lamps up there, reminding Siwoo of an arcade more than anything.
Obviously, this place had a more modern feeling to it compared to the one he visited in Border Town.
The place is more spacious than I thought. Also, there was barely anyone entering from outside, but there are a lot of people inside, huh?
Well, like I said, the entrance wont open all the time, so the moment it opens, nearby witchesor, I guess there are some who came from faraway places as wellanyway, theyd immediately come here to do their business.
After hearing Sharons words Siwoo looked around the place and noticed the witches who were wandering around.
Most of them wore modern clothes, but it wasnt a hard thing to distinguish them from normal people.
Then again, when they had a face of supermodels and perfect body proportions, who else could they be if they werent witches?
There was a living example of it right beside him even.
Even so, he could only see around ten of them here.
Disregarding the areas that he couldnt see at a glance, there should be at least fifty people in this place.
Alright, Im going to look for everything that I need to buy, so dont wander around the place, okay? Keep close to me!
I wont do that, Im not a kid.
But, what if a random witch gives you candy and drags you away?
I told you, Im not a kid.
Sharon let out a giggle as she teased Siwoo.
After that, they began to visit all the stalls in their way, carefully looking for the things that Sharon needed to buy.
There were a bunch of strange items to Siwoo.
The variety of the items alone made the small magic tool shop he once visited in Tarot Town pale in comparison.
Actually, it wouldnt be surprising if the items here had better qualities than in that small shop.
The stall that Sharon currently visited was a jewelry stall.
Seeing the pair approaching his stall, the merchant, who had only been sitting quietly without trying to draw in any customers at all, greeted them in a relaxed voice.
Welcome to my shop, pretty witch, kind sir!
The merchant was an old man with white hair, there was a monocle hanging on one of his eyes. From his demeanor, it was obvious that he was used to dealing with witches.
And from the materials of the stall and the display stand, it was clear that he wasnt selling half-assed products.
Pretty jewelries that would dazzle anyones eyes were being displayed on his stall.
So, what is it that youre looking for?
Im looking for some gems. The ones that are suited for elemental magic.
For offerings? Then, you came to the right place! Our Ruby Atelier definitely wouldnt disappoint you! We sell all kinds of precious metals and gems from all over the world!
Compared to the merchants that Siwoo met in Gehenna, he looked different.
He felt experiencedsomehow.
Even though he was dealing with a witch, he looked confident and he had a relaxed demeanor.
When he saw him standing next to Sharon, he also didnt seem to be surprised. Instead, he also greeted him without showing any particular emotions.
To cast her elemental magic, Sharon needed some kind of offerings depending on which element she intended to use.
Of course, the better the offerings, the stronger the magic shed cast. And among different kinds of offerings, gems such as these were of the highest qualities.
It followed the timeless classic tropes in fantasy where shiny, where eye-catching stones would hold some kind of connection to the mystical powers.
As to how theyd receive their money, well, the merchant would bring the receipt to the bank and withdraw the money appropriately, following what was stated in the receipt.
For the final step, Sharon signed the receipt with her name. She let out a sigh, thinking how the box in her hand was too light for something that was 113 million worth.
Im okay, Im finethis isnt a waste of money, I promise
I-If you say so, sure
Ill have to prepare to pay for this much! Its a necessary expense in the name of magic!
Even though she didnt need to, Sharon went on and tried to rationalize her life choices, before going to a tobacco shop next.
Of course she could always go to a convenience store if she wanted to buy some cigarettes, so obviously she wasnt here for that.
What she wanted to buy was a magic pipe for her rituals.
Since her old pipe was broken by Della, she wanted to get a new one here.
Welcome!
Unlike the jewelry merchant, the tobacco merchant was rather rough looking. He greeted Sharon while rubbing his own hands.
Tobacco was a popular commodity among the witches of Gehenna, so tobacco pipe was pretty much a luxury item.
But, for offering specifically, one couldnt just use any ordinary ones as it would decrease its value.
This was an issue that she had felt over the years, the fact that her self-essence magic was truly a money-eating machine.
Part of the reason why her research stagnated for a good while was because she didnt have enough money.
This ones popular among witches, I tell you! Its made of the tusk of a narwhal, its even embedded with amber to add to its elegance! This is one of the only ten of its kind in this world! Made by the famous pipe crafter from Gehenna, Rond!
The pipe was around 30 cm long, and the chamber was quite small. It looked like a pistol more than anything.
For reference, its price was 15 million won.
While it was a luxury item, this kind of price was still stupidly expensive.
Do you want me to buy it for you?
Seeing Sharons whole body start to tremble, Siwoo couldnt take it anymore and made that offer to her.
He asked cautiously, so that he wouldnt hurt her pride by accident.
Still, she shook her head and rejected him.
No, you gave me enough, I dont want to burden you even more than this.
Why dont we do this? Ill buy one for myself and while Im at it, Ill buy one for you too
No, if you want to buy one, then Ill buy it for you.
Jeez, stop being so stubborn
The merchant, who had been smiling amicably up until this point, suddenly stiffened up.
Well it wasnt a strange reaction, considering that this was the first time he had ever seen a man treating a witch this way.
It made the pair seem like they were a couple instead of a witch and her boy toy.
Im not being stubborn, I can pay for everything! Anyway, do you have some tobacco leaves? The ones youd use for offerings?
Sharon decisively refused Siwoos offer again before asking the merchant that question.
His fluster only lasted for a moment as he soon began to regain his composure again.
Ah, yes, of course we do! Here they are! We also have scented tobacco leaves here! The popular ones are the coffee-scented one and the cherry
No, just the normal ones will suffice.
Alright!
The scented ones were unnecessary for Sharon since shed only be using the leaves for offerings anyway.
Besides, she didnt really enjoy smoking in the first place.
The merchant then pulled out a wrapped piece of paper, unwrapped it and showed her the tobacco leaves she asked for.
You can give it a touch! These leaves came from the Latifundium, grown with the highest quality of magic water! They can maintain their moisture well and they are the perfect one to use if you want to replenish your mana!
For around 50 g of those leaves, she had to wring out more one million won.
After that, they went all around the place to look for more things that Sharon needed, and she ended up spending more than 400 million won in less than three hours.
Its okayall of these are necessary
Yeah, you arent being wasteful, its a necessary expense.
Right? You think so too, right?!
Seeing how she muttered to herself while holding her card, as if it was her own child, Siwoo patted her back.
While he did that though, he had to suppress his own laughter due to how cute, yet pitiful her current appearance was.
