Chapter 1658: First Day in the Primordial Dimension(2)

?

A couple of years ago, he came across someone he fell in love with. The other partner was also of the same race and background, so there were no conflicts, and the two married and decided to spend their lives together.

?

The woman later gave birth to a son for him, continuing the third generation in his family. He had maternal grandparents, but they lived in another settlement, and his mother was also not liked much by them due to her terrible cultivation talent, so his relationship with them had never been close.

?

Edrin had been working for a long time and had enough savings, so now that he had a son, he decided to rent a small shop in a city. It was not only to give himself enough time to spend with his wife and son, but also to let his parents spend their remaining lives peacefully.

?

He had ambition early in his career as a travelling merchant, but time had dulled his sharpness, and he now just wanted to spend his remaining years quietly, and when he died, leave some form of support for his son.

?

During his years as a travelling merchant, he had also come to Namaris due to its strong commercial culture.

?

He had done some trade with a shop in the golden district, but the payment was still due, so he had decided to personally meet the store owner.

Every penny could allow him to stock up on more goods inside his store, so he didn’t want to return empty-handed.

?

Namaris being a strong commercial city, there were myriad kinds of business owners. Fortunately for Edrin, the store owner returned his complete due of 85.000 Primordial Fragments.

?

The money might seem large for a small merchant, but the profit from the trade was only around three thousand fragments, and even that was received by him a year late.

?

Once his work was done, he didn’t immediately leave the city, but looked around. He couldn’t help but think of visiting the Central Commercial District that day.

Since he didn’t know when he would visit the city again, he decided to fulfill that thought. Being a travelling merchant, he quickly moved from one city to another without having the time to look around.

?

Veyr was a powerful city, and yet its commercial atmosphere was not even close to that of the city of Namaris, despite the former providing more revenue to the Kingdom.

Not having to live in the hurry, Edrin felt quite light as he looked around the city and marveled at the different architecture.

?

His eyes suddenly caught the attention of a different building. It was weirdly placed between perfectly designed areas of architecture. It wasn’t that the building looked terrible.

?

It was a stunning building, but it was built entirely differently from the buildings around it ot even the structures in different parts of Namaris.

?

It was a building that seemed to be carved out of a single large stone. He didn’t know what kind of stone it was, but being a businessman over a long period of time, he could sense its value.

?

Even he was shocked by the thought that popped into his head.

?

He believed the stone used in the different buildings to be worth more than the entire city ot even the Kingdom. He didn’t know why he believed it, but his instinct as a merchant told him he was correct in that belief.

?

"I have to check that building from the front!"

?

Edrin mumbled and walked in the building’s direction.

?

It was daytime, so the streets were already filled with people. The building had caught the attention of many, but since the area was an administrative area, almost everyone who passed by the building worked there, so they didn’t have time to waste on sightseeing.

?

Those who had already seen the building yesterday were surprised to find the doors open, and decided to check after their work was over since everyone could read the signboard of the building, which indicated it was the location of some kind of store.

?

As for there being an invisible wall restricting the inside vision, many found it strange since these barriers usually didn’t appear in stores, since the businesses wanted to attract customers by every way they could.

?

The blue building wasn’t tall, so when it caught Edrin’s attention, he was only one street away from it. It took only a couple of minutes for him to reach his destination.

?

The first thing that caught his attention was the signboard that stated the store’s name. He couldn’t help but envy the store owner, as the area it occupied could store tens of his stores, and even then it would leave enough empty space.

?

’Can I ever reach this level?’

?

He couldn’t help but have the thought. Now that he had opened a small shop himself, he felt he wouldn’t mind having a store that large.

?

As for the blue stone the building was carved from, he didn’t even think of owning it. Even the dreams he had were limited in value.

?

Edrin caught sight of someone passing by him, also looking at the building.

?

"I am sorry to interrupt you, but do you know what this store sells?"

?

He respectfully stopped the man and asked.

?

"No, it only opened today."

?

The man didn’t act angry after being interrupted and left after kindly answering.

?

"Should I enter to check the store?"

?

Edrin mumbled hesitantly.

?

After learning that it was the opening day of the store, he didn’t have enough confidence to enter the store in front of him. He believed the store dealt with high-end resources.

?

He wouldn’t want someone who wouldn’t spend a penny inside his store on the first day to enter the store. He didn’t want his fellow store owner to witness that feeling because of him.

?

He also believed that the store dealt with a high level of resources, but was confused because if the store dealt with those items, why was it in Namaris and in the Central Commercial District, not the Golden District, the marketplace of the city?
