The rewards he got were useful, especially the profession changing stones however he would only use them on higher grade villagers, so for now he simply told Aurelio to keep them somewhere safe.
" I'll do as you wish my lord "
He nodded at him and opened up the marketplace, it was nothing like he had expected .
[ Welcome dear costumer, how can I help ]
A purple mouth appeared floating before him, it kinda looked like a hologram but it was still weird.
[ Did I startle you, I am sorry ? Please convey your wishes and I will do my best to serve ]
It felt a bit weird talking to a mouth but he still kept at it, he needed to find some useful things .
" Can I see a list of affordable items? My budget is 500 T- Coins "
[ On it my good sir ]
The mouth turned itself into a giant screen and started showing different items within his price range.
[ Note, we dont have stash of items so each item listed can only be purchased once ]
" Does this mean if I buy these things other costumers cant buy them "
The screen simply flickered in approval and this gave Erin a good idea. Since he was the first to defeat a boss monster chances were others did not have enough money to purchase anything.
So if he bought items and auctioned them on the major cities, wouldnt he basically by rich?
Erin's world announcement was bound to motivate others to go out and fight, humans were very good at adapting and they all loved fame .
" Show me profession stones that cost from 10 T-coins to 100 T- Coins "
The screen was filled with items listed on categories, Erin's face was filled with excitement .
[ Beginner Enchanter Profession Stone ] ( growth )
- Can infuse Talium into items and turn them into magical items that gain boosted stats and skills.
Price: 50 T- coins
" Im definitly not auctioning that, sounds super useful "
After careful consideration that lasted for about 2 hours, he had spent 450 T coins on the following items .

He also bought farmer profession stones, cooks, chefs, Spearman and a few other combat types that he planned on auctioning.
" I have 50 T-coins remaining, can you find a profession stone that is an expert in wine making "
[ I think I got the perfect match ]
It took a while for the marketplace to list the item but it was exactly what he wanted.

[ Expert Vintner ] ( Unique )

" With this my business is done, until next time "
[ It was nice to be of service dear costumer ]
After a puff sound the floating mouth disappeared and Erin got back to his struggles, he had to find a way how to defeat the aboriginals and bandits.
" Can we come in my lord "
Aurelio asked excitedly
" Come in "
Aurelio, Modi and Baldur came inside with the last two covered in blood, Erin panicked immeditely.
" What the hell happened to you two? Did you guys fight "
" Nonsence, cant you see he is still breathing my lord? He would be dead if he ever fought me "
Modi was still up to his old tricks but Erin bypassed them, he was happy they had not gotten attacked.
" Stop it you two..hmm... Lord, I think I have found a solution to your problems . I think we can get rid of both bandits and aboriginals in one fell swoop"
Erin's eyes lit up from excitement.
" The reason why theyre covered in blood is because we were experimenting in something "
" Which is... ? "
" We found out that the Red Serpents blood attracts waves of monsters, I spilled few drops on these 2 meatheads and they were attacked furiously by wild wolves. Their eyes seemed to have gone red, apparently it has a strong effect "
No wonder the wine recipe said its highly addictive, this thing can even affect the minds, thought Erin.
" And how would this help us? "
" This is all we need my lord "
After putting on a crooked smile the old man contiued to explain his evil plan.
" If we manage to find out when the bandits and aboriginals go out to hunt, we might kill some of them "
Baldur raised the question:
" You mean we should weaken their numbers with guerrilla tactics? Hit and run? "
" That would still be risky, I intend on killing both hunting parties and then some of us wearing bandit outfits will deliver the aboriginal bodies on their tribe to provoke them. The rest of our group wearing aboriginal outfits will do the same on the bandit fortress, they will surely meet up to fight each other to the death "
Erin had to admit this was a good plan but nothing ever goes as planned.
" But what if they dont fall for it "
Aurelio's smile got even wider .
" We will cover the bodies with Red Serpent Blood so even if they wont fight, they will bury the bodies on their own territory which will attract waves of monsters. This will weaken both parties and we will reap the benefits "
All Erin could think at that point was to never make an enemy out of Aurelio, this guy was too ruthless.
He was a bit hesistant because many women and elderly might die at the aboriginals camp but if he didnt go with this plan the one to die would be him.
The world had changed and he had to change with it, so he stood up and said.
" LETS DO IT "
