An Exchange[4]

[Third Person POV],

After spending a few minutes purchasing a number of items of rare grade for the dwarven king, some of which occasionally seemed odd, pointless, and dubious, Emma had already grown accustomed to the idea of rare grade items being treated like regular items.

Emma noticed and was perplexed during the purchasing process that the lowest item grade among everything she brought was a low rank 1 rare grade item, while the highest was a rank 2 rare grade item.

She couldn't see its information because it appears that the dwarven king already knew what item he was purchasing with his subjects because every time the items she brought finished materializing in the outside world, they simply grabbed it and flipped it around a little before arranging it.

This has been the process since Emma began buying items for the dwarves.

And as for the grade of the items she brought, Emma had no way of knowing whether it was done on purpose or not, but since it wasn't her business in the first place, Emma decided not to dwell on it too much.

Emma also noticed that more than half of the items she brought were related to metal processing and blacksmithing.

It reminded her of Ace alchemy, and when she remembered their last conversation, her heart skipped a beat.

Not because of what others might think, but because she began to question whether telling Ace about the tattoo and the rest of it was the right decision.

Even now, she couldn't get the words Ace said when she told him about the tattoo out of her head.

Although he said what he honestly thought with that flat face, the words he said meant something different to Emma's ears.

As she considered these things, she continued to buy the items the king desired, and a few minutes later, Emma bought the last set of goods from the store, which were several jars of wine.

Emma had purchased the same brand of wine jars for the dwarves.

They also brought pots and other gradeless items such as spoons, plates, knives, cups, and so on.

At this point, the remaining gold coins were just over 200, which was a  tad more than Emma's original good coins, and Emma could guess that the dwarven king didn't have anything to buy again based on the way he removed his eyes from her panel with a lack of interest on his face, but since there were still a few dozen gold coins remaining, Emma spoke up to remind the dwarven king.

"Uhm, you still have a few dozen coins," she said, adding, "Do you have anything else you want to buy?"

When the dwarven king heard what Emma had to say, he did not immediately respond, instead casting an approving glance at her before speaking.

"I don't have anything else to buy with that amount, so keep it," the dwarven king said, and Emma nodded.

She didn't even bother to refuse something that was being given away for free.

Emma wasn't about to pretend she didn't need something she clearly needed.

She also didn't want to collect too much from the dwarves because then their non-existent relationship would become even more non-existent.

She didn't want to lose her only living clue for this reason.

What was odd was that the dwarven king's expression towards her was one of approval rather than a frown.

The dwarven king spoke immediately after this.

"I was going to give you some gold coins, but let me add something else," the dwarven king said, to which Emma immediately tried to refuse, only to be cut off by the dwarven king, who spoke before she could.

"I'll appreciate it if you don't refuse this," he said, adding, "For your race, I despise the greedy and despise the pretenders even more."

Emma didn't try to refuse again after hearing what the dwarven king said, as she began to believe the dwarves were part of the species mentioned in the primordial chronicle when stage two began and ended.

She also began to wonder if humans were among the species mentioned in the primordial chronicle.

Were there any other humans out there?

And even if they are, how will they look?

Will they have the same appearance as humans she knows, such as herself?

As Emma pondered these thoughts with Chris by her side, the Dwarven king summoned his subject to bring another box.

When they finally saw the box, which appeared to be more of a case to hold something like jewelry when brought close to them, the dwarven king told Emma to go and take the item in the box.

Emma hesitated at first because everything seemed so sudden, but when she saw that everyone's attention was still on her, Emma decided to just go with the flow and accept the case that was being given to her by the dwarf in front of her and immediately opened the case after obtaining it in front of everyone's eyes.

Emma finally saw the item inside the case after opening the case, which appeared to be made of a certain animal skin that was soft to the touch.

It was a silver necklace with a blue gem pendant, and the entire piece was expertly crafted.

But it wasn't this that drew Emma's attention; it was something else.

It was the item's grade.
