Chapter 46 Sentinel's Market
-Fein's POV-
I shook my head with pity.
You won't die if you seek death. Is a famous line of character in Chinese Novels that I have read in the past. And it is true in most cases. There are a lot of people who blindly do stupid acts that would cause their death and misfortune.
"It seems that this guy belongs to De Vera Family" Albert was holding an insignia while inspecting it carefully.
I looked at the insignia and asked. "So what? Are they some bigshot?"
Albert nodded and says with apprehension. "In fact, they are one of the most powerful nobles in this kingdom."
I rubbed my temples at this sudden revelation.
"That's why he was so confident before. But why in his mother was he living his life like this when he can enjoy his life?"
"It might be either that he was kicked out of their family or because of internal conflict. After all, there's always a scheme and machinations happening when it comes to nobles." Albert answered in a sarcastic way.
I nodded with agreement. Nobles are always fighting for their own interests. That's why internal conflict is commonly the cause of their downfall. That's also the case with the royal family. And it's even more intense... Assassinations of princes and princesses are a daily occurrence. Fighting for the position of heir. That's why love between royal brothers and sister are rare. Well, at least that's the case I know.
I activated my storage space to store their corpse. The bodies disappeared out of thin ears one by one.
Albert has an astonished expression and looked at me with incredulity.
"It's one of my abilities."
"Hmm, I am not surprised that you had an A-Rank strength because you can subdue A legendary creature. but I didn't expect you to still have a spatial ability. Very rare if I may say so."
Albert says while examining the surroundings making sure that there are no traces left that would lead to us.

Sentinel's Trading Hub&Market
The place is very spacious, just like other markets. It can be described in two words that are contradictory. It was chaotic but at the same time orderly.
People wearing different kinds of equipment can be seen in this place. It was bustling and lively. Loud voices, sounds of bargaining, and merchant's eyes that were constantly sparkling.
The people who come here are mostly mercenaries, hunters, and adventurers.
Because in here you can find all the necessities needed. Potions that can boost strength temporarily, pieces of equipment in various grades ranging from rare and epic can be found, and the most popular here is the auction that would is being held every year.
Fein, Albert, and Voli were now strolling in the market while constantly looking at the goods that the merchants are selling.
At the request of Fein, Albert quickly leads him here. Because he needed to prepare for his coming adventure in the secret realm. He also hopes to buy armor that could protect him while also not hindering his movements.
After experiencing the gruesome experience of his body being hit by lightning. He decided that would buy armor as a priority. He didn't want to experience the feeling of his body being slowly torn apart. It was painful, moreover, it could also cause hidden injuries if it accumulated.

I looked at the various flashy armors that my eyes could reach. But after appraising them one by one, I only ended up disappointed. because most of them are only good in appearance, but their practical use can only satisfy buyers who don't have a rich combat experience. Because veterans wouldn't even glance at these items.
Seeing my disappointed sigh from time to time. Albert told me that there was the last section where old items and random equipment that were deemed worthless were being sold.
"It seems that there's nothing that manages to satisfy you. So how about giving it a try?"
"Well, let's go... It's better to try than return empty-handed" I sighed and followed Albert who was leading the way.
After walking for a minute. We are finally in the section where luck determines whether you get a treasure or trash.
I scanned the place. Although it was said that it was a place where useless items are gathered. Some people who had an adventurous spirit would sometimes go here to try their luck. There are already five of such instances where they got a treasure. Although one of them died after a week because of being robbed. Without strength picking up a treasure is not just a blessing. It is also a curse that would pull those greedy bastards and coveting eyes. That's why when you obtain a treasure, keeping it a secret is the only way. Revealing it should only be considered when you had sufficient strength or strong backing.
*Gulu* *gulu*
A loud noise was produced beside me interrupting my thoughts. I looked at the sources of the sound, only to see Voli looking at the meat vendor in the distance. I looked speechless after seeing Voli dripping with saliva while rubbing his stomach.
Albert chuckled slightly.
I took three pieces of gold from my storage space and gave them to Albert who turned his head at me with a questioning look.
"Buy him some meat first, I think this three gold coins is enough to buy dozens of meat right?"
Albert took the gold in my hands and walk to the meat shop with Voli who immediately followed him.
I then proceeded to look at the armors that they sell in the vicinity hoping to luck out.
After half an hour of strolling around and inspecting some equipment.
I managed to buy an interesting item that would let Voli change his size and let him become smaller.
After not finding an armor that suits my needs. As I was about to go toward Voli and Albert. A milky white golden armor that had dark runes on the side caught my attention...
