Riku approached the shop and immediately took fond notice of the casual wood out front. As he reach the door he noticed the wood was petrified. It was a sight he’d only seen maybe once aside form the storefront - and only in chunks of bark, not stumps of that size. This shop had a unique appeal. The inside was very colorful with the hanging gems. He’d only been here a few times - and this was surprisingly the first time he’d shown up to take advantage of the new system he’d heard was in place. Magical crystals sustainable for sale? It almost seemed like a mocking joke.
Part of him disliked how obtainable they were becoming. Would nodes become like the new car where everyone mildly successful can obtain one? He shuddered at the thought. Magic made him unique and powerful in a way that wasn’t supposed to be easily countered. He had worked really hard to learn the skills he used in the mines and worked down there for ten years to do it! Now people can just slowly build up node reserves by coming in every few months for a crystal. Oh well. He still had an advantage. They may get one piece every three months, but he could get that one piece and all the other pieces he’d find, himself, in the mines.
He walked up to the shop keeper, holding the small pouch of gems that he was sure would be more than enough in worth. He snickered to the side so it wouldn’t be obvious. He almost forgotten that the people trading in for crystals would still be forced to use gemstones. They could buy those, too, but he found his own. Those usually seemed worth more. Especially when you’ve studied geology and understand the difference between a simple lanzated quartz and an actual amberized topaz. Tff!
