It turned out the shopkeeper was well worth their time.
Within minutes, multiple carts loaded with treasures clattered to a halt outside the shop. Gold-rimmed boxes, mana-imbued crates, and sealed chests piled atop one another, attracting curious glances from passersby.
The shopkeeper, followed closely by his now-diligent assistant, stepped forward with a slight bow. "Miss, everything has been gathered. These are all the treasures currently available in Galbaza."
Erlin stepped out of the shop and surveyed the carts. She didn't speak at first—just walked past each one, her eyes flicking from one container to the next. Finally, a soft smile crept across her lips.
The shopkeeper noticed it instantly and exhaled with visible relief. She's satisfied.
"Alright," she said coolly. "I'll buy everything. Begin evaluating the prices and let me know when you reach a total." She turned and strolled back inside.
