Chapter 136 Purchasing Magical Materials
Click, the sound of the door opening rang out.
Anna and Elor walked out of the room at the same time, and both of them were stunned when they saw each other.
Elor raised her hand first to greet him: "Good morning."
Anna nodded and replied, "Good morning."
The two walked downstairs side by side and went to the kitchen together.
It was Elor who spoke first: "Um, how does Dorothy's sleeping face look?"
As she asked this question, Elor secretly observed Anna's face.
Anna pursed her lips, unsure how to answer.
But Elor had already gotten the answer from Anna's expression.
That is—asking a question you already know the answer to.
Elor immediately flashed a teasing smile: "Isn't it cute~"
Anna's dark skin was instantly stained with a striking red.
Seeing this, Elor covered her mouth and chuckled twice, causing Anna to lower her head even further.
Anna is feeling dizzy, but her memory of last night is still very clear.
Dorothy also came over while the two were chatting.
"Good morning," Dorothy greeted, looking at Elor, who was smirking, and Anna, who was silent with her head down, with some confusion.
What happened between these two?
Dorothy didn't ask directly. Instead, she patted her tummy and said, "After breakfast, I'm going to practice some magic. Do you want to come along?"
The atmosphere of the winter festival was great, and everyone was happily taking a holiday.
But this doesn't affect Dorothy's daily routine.
Upon hearing Dorothy prepare to leave, Anna immediately looked up and said seriously, "Not recently. You can't go out, and don't use abyss magic recently."
"Huh? Why?" Dorothy asked, puzzled.
But she immediately realized what was going on.
"Is it because of that saintess?"
Anna nodded.
"That's right, if you use abyssal magic, she will sense it instantly."
"Hiss!" Dorothy frowned. She had finally found a way to quickly improve her strength, but now she couldn't use it.
Dorothy felt a bit of a headache.
Anna noticed Dorothy's distress and comforted her, "Don't worry, she won't stay here for long. As a nun of the Church of Holy Light, she must have a lot to do."
Dorothy thought Anna made sense.
"That's true, then I'll behave myself for a while."
Although she can't quickly increase her magic power and general magic level by cultivating abyssal magic, Dorothy can still improve her proficiency in other skills.
Her strength is steadily increasing, Dorothy checked her panel.

Attribute points: 0
Other skills remained largely unchanged, with only Magic Meditation, Magic Power, and General Magic receiving improvements; the other skills were simply not practiced at all.
Now that I can no longer cultivate abyssal magic, I naturally need to focus my energy on improving other skills.
Dorothy glanced at it.
She is currently most interested in alchemy.
With attribute points now allocated to Wisdom, improving Alchemy requires daily practice.
Practice requires materials, and materials cost money.
Dorothy roughly estimated her budget.
She currently has just over a hundred gold coins left.
It sounds like a lot, and it really is a lot.
These gold coins would even be enough for her to find a place in the countryside to live for the rest of her life.
However, in the magical world, these gold coins are simply not presentable.
However, buying the cheapest materials is enough.
Dorothy's current alchemy level is very low, so she doesn't need that many expensive materials.
Furthermore, the alchemical items produced can be sold, bringing in some additional funds.
After doing some mental calculations, Dorothy decided to buy some materials to make her own magic potion.
Dorothy chose to buy her materials from the same little bee magic materials shop she visited when she first arrived in the City of Apprentices.
The main reason was that Dorothy had a very good impression of the shopkeeper, the dwarf Owen, so she was willing to patronize his business.
Since she was just going to buy materials, she didn't need anyone to accompany her, so Dorothy went shopping alone this time.
Upon arriving at the Little Bee Magical Materials Shop, Dorothy pushed open the door and saw Owen sitting behind the counter drinking. She immediately waved and greeted him, "Happy holidays, Shopkeeper Owen."
Irving let out a burp and replied, "Uh... you too? What brings you here today? Aren't you going out with your friends?"
Dorothy chuckled as she looked at the various magical materials displayed on the shelves. "Isn't it the same for you, shopkeeper? Everyone else is resting today, but you're still keeping the shop open."
Owen swirled his drink. "Heh heh, I don't worship Erathus, and your human festivals have nothing to do with a dwarf like me. By the way, want a drink?"
Irving raised his glass and extended an invitation to Dorothy.
Dorothy pointed to herself and said, "For a human, it's too early for me to drink alcohol. Besides, if I go back drunk and Elor smells the alcohol on me, I'll get scolded."
Irving tilted his head back and took another sip.
"Ha!" The drink made him let out a heartfelt cheer.
"That does sound a bit bad, but among us dwarves, children your age are already getting into alcohol."
Irving didn't pressure Dorothy; he was happy with his drink anyway.
"Young lady, what brings you here today? Are you here to sell your magic core?"
Dorothy shook her head. "No, I need to buy some materials to make magic potions. By the way, shopkeeper, do you also sell magic potions?"
Owen nodded and said, "We will indeed acquire it, but I have very high requirements for the quality of the potions here. After all, you know this is the City of Apprentices, and there are many apprentices who can make magical potions."
Dorothy nodded. "Of course, and I would never sell a work of questionable quality, Mr. Owen."
Irving stretched out his short, stubby finger and pointed to the shelf not far away.
"Over there are various herbs used to make magic potions. If you need a good pot, I also have one here. And over there on the shelves are various potions that are usually sold. You can take a look and learn about them so you can know which potions are currently popular."
"Thank you, Mr. Irving."
Dorothy walked toward the shelf that Irving pointed to.
Standing in front of the shelf, Dorothy picked up a dried herb and examined it.
The rhizomes were well preserved and free of soil. Although she had never bought these materials before, her knowledge told her that they were of very good quality.
Dorothy glanced at the price again.
"Silverleaf grass, one stalk costs one gold coin—so expensive!"
This is just a medicinal herb.
She could borrow the alchemy pot from the school, or from Elor or Lyons, thus saving that money.
Thinking of this, Dorothy said to Owen.
"I want ten servings!"
