With Rae's new skills, their shop needed some new sections. They had set everything up for magical accessories, but they also had silk available, and they could make custom armour. Convincing Rae to make a Commander Rank sales piece wouldn't be easy, but they could make a mannequin to advertise their custom armour services. There had to be those who preferred leather armour in the city, and they weren't prohibited from selling the actual bolts of silk, which would be insanely expensive.
A few dressmakers and merchants would certainly buy up any stock that Rae made, and when it was at lower qualities, she could make huge amounts of silk cloth without running out of energy.
So, that was her first contribution to the shop.
Ten rolls of Commander Rank silk in nine solid colours and one black roll with pink cherry tree blossoms on it were arranged along the wall when the first customers came in the next morning, looking for potions. The word of the silk spread quickly, though the visitors didn't know if there was anything special about it.
Simply having access to high-quality silk by the bolt was enough to draw in customers. The first of which was the shopkeeper whose dress shop they had halfway cleared out when they first arrived.
"Lady Rae, it's a pleasure to see you again. Though I must say, it's a relief to know that you weren't planning to open a fashion shop here at the gates." The woman greeted her when she saw the transformed spider lurking at the back of the room.
"I thought that it might be better to offer the raw Silk instead. Take a look, and tell me what you think. You will find no lumps or imperfections in my silk. If you wish a different grade, I have inventory all the way from Commander to Overlord Rank, and can make custom colours with a small delay." Rae agreed.
The dressmaker admired the corner of a roll of golden silk, trying to determine how it had gotten so bright golden. She had never seen a dye like that before. It was actually a result of Rae using her [Camouflage] skills on the silk as she produced it, which gave the silk a metallic lustre that was nearly impossible to replicate with a natural dye.
"It looks like the silk is made of liquid gold. That is beautiful. How long is the bolt?" She asked.
"I made each bolt ten metres. I wasn't sure what was the standard here, but that should make a dress for most species." Rae explained.
"That sounds right. How is this to work with?" The dressmaker asked.
The Demon looked impressed. "She is a Golem Mage. Her elemental affinity is Earth, and she is currently at the Royal Rank, but I would like the finest quality of equipment that you can create for her."
Karl nodded. "So, my thought would be a leather armour suit with mobility, robes, two rings, two bracelets, a necklace, earrings, and a staff or wand. Which does she prefer?"
"Definitely a staff. But no need for earrings, I have an heirloom set for her."
Karl nodded. "I can make a complete set, designed for synergy and enhancements to an Earth Golem Mage. I guarantee none of the stats will be inappropriate for her class and specialty. How are her defensive skills? I would assume that she has [Earth Barrier] or an equivalent?"
The mage nodded. "Indeed. But I have heard that you are capable of adding spells to your staves. Lared Academy gave her a [Fireball] staff that your shop made."
Karl smiled. "Congratulations on raising a valedictorian. So, we can say that she doesn't need a [Fireball] related item, but I believe that we can come up with something suitably rare. Or would you prefer not earth Element?"
The merchant thought about the answer for a few seconds. "Earth Elemental Attack Magic if possible. She relies almost entirely on her golems and fireball for attacks. But her fire affinity is not strong."
"I know just the thing. We do require a deposit for custom orders, but the majority of the price is due on collection. Your order should be able to be collected in four days."
The man looked shocked at that, and Davis smiled, then cleared his throat. "Sir, we have the base items in stock, they only need to be custom altered to your requirements. Much like having a dress altered instead of tailored in a new design."
The man nodded, then placed a picture of his daughter on the counter. "If you can choose a set of robes that will suit her lovely visage, I would appreciate it. My princess deserves the best."
Davis nodded politely, and passed the picture to Karl.
That was a succubus. No doubt about it. The tail was a dead giveaway.
"Alright, I believe that we know just what she will like."
