Spending my retirement in a game

chapter 110

"Bree, is there a good shop where I can buy high-quality paper? I'll make some myself at some point, but to get the skill it should be easier to work with pre-existing paper." Eisen explained before Bree began to think for a while.

"Hmm, we could go to a general store, they should have paper there, but we can also go to a Bookstore. The paper they have is more expensive, but also a lot higher in quality." The Fey-Kin told Eisen, and he listened curiously before nodding at her suggestion. "Alright, sounds good to me. Then let's go to a nearby Bookstore."

The old man smiled while nodding at his two companions, following Bree toward a small, but high-tier, bookstore that was just a few streets away. Most of the books that were sold there were leather-bound at the highest quality, and most had to do with some kind of technique, whether it was related to crafting, combat or magic, and Eisen was more than interested in some of the crafting and magic books.

Before he even got to taking a look at different paper, he grabbed about half a dozen books that each seemed quite useful to him. f𝐫eewe𝚋nove𝗹.𝗰o𝚖

Three of those were material guides, one for different metals, another for different woods and plants, and the last one for different leathers. Each of these included the rarity of each material, their worth depending on their purity or condition, and in what area of the world which could be found.

Another one of them a monster guide, simply listing the most common monsters found in different areas of the world and the way they reacted toward intruders or enemies. None of the information given on each monster was particularly detailed, as it seemed this was a general guide meant for non-combatants so that they knew which areas of the world to pass by so that they wouldn't unneccessarily put themselves in danger.

There were some bestiaries there as well that gave more detailed information together with useful combat tactics to use on each monster, but if Eisen wanted to have the same amount of monsters covered in these bestiaries as in the general monster guide, he would need at least a dozen more books.

Of course he could always ask Bree for this type of information, but Eisen preferred to actually have all of it in his mind than have to ask about certain things case-for-case.

And at last, Eisen also picked two books related to magic, one with general theories and information on magic, and one filled with different non-combat uses of magic, mainly focused on its use in crafting.

These two books were the ones that Eisen was most interested in, actually. The one filled with magic theories and information seemed to be talking about different types of magic that Eisen had no idea existed in this game, and the one filled with information about crafting was something Eisen really wanted in order to find ways to make magical weapons.

Technically, his Zweihänder was also a magic weapon since Eisen infused magic into it while forging, but there had to be far more efficient methods that he had no way of knowing about yet. Eisen basically knew everything there was to know about crafting methods, but when it came to magic, he knew near to nothing. All of the information that he gathered about it so far may seem a lot, but in the grand scheme of things, Magic had to be far more expansive than Eisen could even imagine.

Due to that, he wanted to at least figure out as much as he could where magic overlapped with his own area of expertise.

But for now, Eisen simply looked through these books quite briefly and would read through them later if he had the time. He still had four or five in-game days until Tony, Benji, Sean and Katy arrived at his house, after all, so he should have some time to at least start looking through them briefly.

So instead, the old man walked over to the shopkeeper and asked to see different types of paper to choose a good type to purchase.

In the end, Eisen chose a simple, smooth and high quality paper with a clean white color. The size that Eisen needed was double that of what a single page of the book would be.
