The Shadow Knight

Chapter 6: Black Market

Morning after breakfast

Vanessa: You two ready?

Asta and Noelle: Yep!

Vanessa: Then let's go!

"They walked outside the base"

Vanessa: Oh yeah, I almost forgot, who are you flying with Noelle?

Noelle: U-uhm... *If I fly with Vanessa then there's no problem...but, I want to fly with Asta but maybe he doesn't want t-* 

Noelle's thought was interrupted by a voice

Asta: You can fly with me again, if you want to "blushing a little and looking away"

Noelle: O-okay! "blushing" 

Vanessa: Ohh~~ look at you two, so cute together "teasing them"

Noelle: I-It's n-not l-like t-that! "still blushing"

Vanessa: Okay then~~ 

Asta was just silent

Noelle: Y-you should be grateful I'm letting you fly with me hmph! "Flip one of her pig tails"

Asta: "small chuckle" 'sarcastic' I'm so grateful

Vanessa: You two really look like a couple!

"Asta and Noelle blush and Vanessa just laugh"  

"They began to fly towards the capital" 

They arrived at the capital

Vanessa: Let's go you two, I know a place where we can shop

Asta and Noelle: Alright

"They walked into a alleyway"

Asta: What are we doing here?

Vanessa: Just follow me "She walked into a wall leaving the pair confused"

Noelle: Wait what?

Asta: She said follow her, so let's go "walked inside the wall"

Noelle: D-don't leave me alone bakasta "follow him inside and feeling shocked" Where are we?

Vanessa: This is the Black Market "They began to walk through the market" This place is little bit unsafe but they got some crazy good magical items "she then turn to Noelle who is clearly shocked" I don't blame you for being suprised, royalty and nobles avoid this place

Asta: Interesting, I think I'm gonna explore a bit

Vanessa: Okay! Me and Noelle will look for a wand for her

"Asta nods then explore the market" 

With Asta

Asta: "looking at the items" This place has interesting Items, hmm.. "he found a necklace" What does this thing do? "he asked the vendor" 

Vendor: That necklace can put a barrier on the wearer

Asta: How can it put a barrier?

Vendor: You can store magic inside that necklace. Then, when the wearer feels danger the necklace will automatically form a barrier around the wearer

Asta: How will the barrier look like?

Vendor: The barrier that will be formed is based on the magic that is stored inside of it. For example, if the magic is fire then the barrier will emit a reddish color, don't worry the barrier will only be a little visible

Asta: Oh okay, How strong is the barrier?

Vendor: It depends on the magic that stored inside it. The more magic the necklace stored inside the more stronger the barrier become.
