Earth's Greatest Magus

Chapter 1626 Market



Just like always, Emery made preparations to leave Terra Castle, and as expected, Morgana stayed by his side, maintaining close proximity.

With the situation regarding the Raven faction resolved, Emery saw no reason to leave Morgana behind. Moreover, since his true identity had been exposed, he couldn’t afford to be careless and preferred having a capable ally with him.

However, Emery made the decision to leave the other two half-blood wolves behind to avoid drawing unnecessary attention. A group of four half-blood wolves would undoubtedly stand out in the bustling city streets of the Golden City.

As for Thrax, aware that their destination was primarily for shopping and visiting the apothecary center, he chose to stay behind and continue his training.

“Don’t take too long. I’m eager to return home to Earth,” Thrax remarked, his longing for their shared homeland apparent.

Emery also had to settle his return to Earth with the Magus Alliance, which added to the list of tasks he needed to complete in the Golden City. 

Once they passed through the Teleportation portal, Emery’s mind started to wander, considering which place they should visit first in the Golden City. Before he could make a decision, Morgana took the lead, her hand grasping his, and guided him towards the bustling market street.

“All right, I understand. Let’s grab something to eat first. I’m hungry too,” Emery agreed, a faint smile gracing his lips as he followed Morgana’s lead.

As Emery and Morgana strolled through the bustling market street, their senses were treated to a delightful array of scents and sights. The food stalls lining the streets showcased a wide variety of culinary delights, tempting passersby with their aromatic offerings. Emery couldn’t help but notice the sizzle of skewered meats grilling over open flames, the fragrant aroma of spices wafting through the air. He spotted vendors skillfully flipping pancakes, their golden-brown surfaces adorned with toppings like fresh fruits and drizzles of sweet syrup.

They stopped at a stall that boasted a colorful display of exotic fruits, their juicy flesh beckoning to be savored. Emery watched as Morgana eagerly bit into a succulent, ripe fruit, its vibrant orange flesh contrasting with the bright green skin. Juice trickled down her fingers as she relished the sweet and tangy flavors, a look of pure enjoyment gracing her face.

Emery couldn’t help but notice Morgana’s carefree and joyous attitude as she savored each bite. She found immense happiness in the simple pleasures of life, her eyes lighting up with excitement at the sight of every new dish. Her enthusiasm brought a smile to Emery’s face, filled with both admiration and a touch of envy.

In the midst of their adventure, Emery decided to cherish the moment and spoke up.

“Choose anything you want. It’s my treat.”

Little did Emery know that this spur-of-the-moment decision would result in hours of Morgana’s continuous eating. She seemed to possess an insatiable appetite, devouring everything in sight. If Emery didn’t know any better, he would have thought that Morgana had mastered a spatial spell, allowing her to store and consume an endless amount of food elsewhere.

Finally, when the feast came to an end, Emery realized that they were in close proximity to the familiar Devildom auction house. Without much thought, he entered the establishment, his intention to seek out the lady of the house, Tessa Karat.

Unfortunately, luck was not on his side, as Tessa was currently absent, and the current manager in charge showed little enthusiasm upon seeing two young figures like Emery and Morgana as potential customers.

However, Emery’s VIP silver membership card quickly changed the atmosphere. The manager’s expression shifted, realizing the importance of their presence, especially after he read the name on the card.

“Er… Emery Ambrose… My apologies, sir. Please follow me,” the manager said, a newfound respect evident in his voice and demeanor.

The manager led Emery and Morgana to a special VIP lounge, where multiple staff members promptly served them an array of delicious foods and beverages. The luxurious spread was a testament to the establishment’s commitment to providing exceptional service.

“Please enjoy,” they said with a polite bow before discreetly leaving the room.

Emery was about to decline the hospitality, considering his full stomach, but he was genuinely surprised when he noticed Morgana still had an insatiable appetite. “Nevermind,” Emery said with a smile, deciding to let Morgana indulge in her love for food.

Before Emery could discuss his purpose for coming, the manager presented him with a new card, gleaming in gold. “My Lady has instructed us to upgrade your membership if you ever returned,” the manager explained.

Emery’s eyes widened in surprise as he accepted the gold membership card. The card granted him access to special auction seats, limited items, and a discount on services. Emery nodded in satisfaction, realizing that his act of aiding a prominent figure had yielded unexpected rewards.

“I have some items to sell. Can you fetch me a good price?” Emery inquired, eager to make the most of his visit.𝑜𝑽𝐞𝓵xt.𝗇𝓔t

“Certainly, sir,” the manager replied with a professional demeanor.

Emery handed over the artifacts he had collected from the Raven Magus, and the manager carefully examined each one. After a thorough evaluation, the manager made an offer.

“We are willing to purchase all Tier 4 and below artifacts for 1.5 million spirit stones. As for the two Tier 5 artifacts, we suggest putting them up for auction instead,” the manager suggested, offering his expert opinion.

Believing in the establishment’s reputation and expertise, Emery agreed with the offer. 

To Emery’s surprise, the manager also expressed a willingness to assist in opening the bound storage rings belonging to Cyrus and the Raven elder. Although there was a service fee of 500,000 for both rings, Emery believed there might be something more valuable hidden inside and agreed to the cost.

“The service will take approximately an hour, sir. Please wait here,” the manager informed him, leading Emery to a comfortable seating area within the lounge.

Emery took the opportunity to relax and enjoy the moment, observing Morgana as she continued to feast on the offerings laid before her. 

Exactly an hour later, the manager returned with the opened rings, revealing several Tier 5 artifacts, along with spirit stones and other valuable items, totaling 3 million in worth. While it was slightly less than Emery had anticipated, it was still a satisfying haul.

Deciding to keep the spirit stones for himself, Emery pocketed the spirit stones and left the Tier 5 artifacts to be auctioned off. 

“Certainly, sir,” the manager then informed him about the upcoming auction which was scheduled to take place in two days, and the manager extended an invitation for Emery to attend.

However, considering his substantial debt and the need to exercise restraint, Emery decided it would be wiser to refrain from attending and further tempt himself.

“I will come in three days then. Thank you,” Emery said, expressing his gratitude for the manager’s assistance before taking his leave.
