Chapter 807 Bone Bear
Once the store had sold out again, and a new "Limited Stock" sign had been made, indicating that they only had whatever leftover jewellery hadn't been chosen by the morning rush and what the team had made that morning, things began to calm down in the shop, and Davis prepared to go home early.
He would be off the next day, as Matriarch's day was a City Holiday, and most shops that weren't food or present related would not operate at all.
Karl planned to open the shop for a while, but not stock more than the basics, just in case someone needed a last minute "Please Get Me Out of the Doghouse" gift.
From what Karl understood, the day was mostly an exchange of chocolates from the women to their desired men, and then a date night where they would take the lead.
Mick could watch the shop for the rest of the day, as most of the items were not high ticket items, and Davis needed to drop off the latest Overlord Rank creation by Karl and Ashbringer at the Auction, which started early the next morning.
Remi had reserved a few boxes of potions for regular sales, and the girls had put out a dozen wooden rings for both mage and warrior types, but that was about all that was left in the shop for the rest of the day.
Those were going quickly to the steady stream of regular customers from the city, especially the potions. Everyone wanted to be at their best for the holiday, so an emergency healing potion as well as a recovery potion were a great insurance measure.
Just having them with you could turn a minor disaster into a touching memory.
Then, just before Karl was going to have the Gargoyles close the gate, a middle-aged mage in the same uniform as the Academy man who had custom ordered wands entered the shop.
"Good Sir, might you know where to find the Darklight Host Guild House?" He asked.
"You're standing in it. What can we help you with?" Karl replied with a smile that must have shown too much tooth, as the man looked concerned, and he was some sort of partially skeletal monster species, not a Demon as far as Karl could tell.
Upon closer look, Karl realized that it was actually just a bone protrusion that covered half his face like a mask, with a horn at the top. He wasn't undead.
"The Governor of Lared City would like to invite you to the Academy to give lessons on Runecrafting. You see, we have it as a course, but nobody actually has the skill. So, what we can teach students is limited." The mage asked.
Remi handed the man a potion, and he stared at it in confusion, then cast a spell on it to examine it more closely.
"Indeed, it does have clusters of empowered Runes in the solution. That is incredible. What is the potion for?"
{Reversing receding hairlines.} Remi replied happily.
The Mage looked offended, then intrigued. "Really? It can reverse receding hairlines? How powerful is it?" He asked.
Remi shrugged. {Monarch Rank. It's not fully tested, though.}
"How much is this potion?" He asked curiously.
{The materials cost six silver, so it sells for a gold coin.} Remi explained.
The man nodded and handed her a coin, then downed the potion.
Slowly, hair grew on the top of his head, and all over the side of his face not covered by a bone plate, then down his arms.
{Wait, was that supposed to happen? I swear, it wasn't supposed to add hair in new places, but I don't have any hair to test it on.} Remi mused.
The mage looked confused, then understanding lit his eyes and he smiled. He took out a small mirror and began to examine himself, lowering his hood and opening his robes to show that he was almost completely furred.
"That is magnificent. My species starts out completely furry, except our mask bone. But as we age, we lose it until we're completely hairless. I look like a young Bone Bear again."
Karl would have never guessed that the man's species was called Bone Bear, given the hairless state that he arrived in.
Remi was pleased with her work, though. {Just don't do anything unethical in dating groups.}
