He was about to go to Piltover University, and the expenses he needed were countless. Money was really important to him now.
Furthermore, if he couldn't leave Piltover later but needed to make Composite Recovery Potions, the high cost of medicinal materials would be a headache.
Even though these spoils were the result of Durin fighting for his life that night.
But compared to the severe situation at hand, money in hand was what truly mattered.
"Alright! I'll sell it."
Durin agreed.
The Goblin grinned, placed the hand crossbow and the pure silver badge into his open-top off-road vehicle, then counted out 7 shiny silver coins from his pocket and thrust them into Durin's hand.
A smile finally appeared on his face as he said, "Welcome back next time."
As he left the intersection of Gryllweir Street, Durin noticed a group of people gathered not far away, seemingly giving some kind of speech. They were emotional, constantly waving their arms, and shouting loudly: "Piltover must never bow down!", "We'll pay people to fight! Piltover will win!", "We can crush those stinky rats with gold coins!" and similar words.
Durin even saw a wealthy man, dressed in luxurious clothes, holding a gentleman's cane, and wearing a top hat, emotionally take out his money pouch and throw it onto the podium. Gold coins flew out of the pouch and scattered onto the floor.
Under the sunlight, those gold coins appeared exceptionally dazzling, yet no one seemed to care.
Seeing this, Durin could only quicken his pace and leave the area. He did not want to be drawn into the conflict between the two cities; to be precise, he was not yet qualified.
At least not until he became an official mage.
Next, he went to a famous tailor shop specializing in repairing mage robes. After handing over his mage robe to them, he paid a deposit of 10 copper circle coins and arranged to pick it up in three days.
At that time, he would need to pay another 15 copper circle coins.
Durin readily agreed.
Over the next ten days, Durin visited Daniel's house three more times and conversed with his daughter, Seraphine, three times. He consistently played the role of the best listener, hearing her share her inner thoughts and the 'voices' she heard, then offering his own opinions and suggestions to soothe her emotions.
Because Seraphine could not hear soul voices from Durin, she felt a sense of mental relaxation and a pleasant conversational atmosphere when she was with him.
In addition, Durin was also very cooperative in listening to the young girl play the guitar and sing songs herself, and each time he would particularly timely cheer and boast about how amazing Seraphine was, greatly satisfying the little vanity of this sensitive young girl.
Basically, each visit would show a prompt of 3-5 points of favorability increase, and his Charm proficiency would also increase by 1-2 points.
After three conversations, Durin's current Charm proficiency was: 16/25.
Of course, there was also a reward of 1 silver lun coin.
The time had also arrived at July 1st, which was the opening day of Piltover University.
Durin got dressed, donning a Mage Robe over his clothes, and pinned a dark bronze badge, symbolizing his Mage Apprentice status, to his chest.
Inside, he carried his instrument bag and round shield, with a spiked mace hanging at his waist.
Anyway, with the Mage Robe as an obstruction, others wouldn't see what was inside.
Carrying his student ID, admission notice, and temporary residence permit, Durin excitedly walked out of his front door, locked it with a key, and set off.
After paying the fare, he took the tram to the central square of Jindai Luo Sphere, then walked to Piltover University.
As it was the first day of school, even the Piltover Hall of Justice dispatched Enforcers to patrol the streets, ensuring there were no petty thieves.
Upon seeing Durin's Mage Robe, the Enforcers' expressionless faces softened into a slight smile, and they nodded in greeting.
The university gate was a full 21 meters wide, with a pure silver mechanical guard separating the passage every 3 meters.
Durin pulled out his student ID and admission notice from the inner pocket of his Mage Robe, showed them to the mechanical guard, and then stepped through the main gate of Piltover University, where a vast number of figures in campus uniforms greeted his eyes.
In brand new uniforms, fitted white shirts, knee-length plaid skirts, and loose trousers, boys and girls chatted about holiday topics, either in pairs or in groups of three to five.
Transmigrating to another world, Durin hadn't expected he would have the chance to return to campus life; he couldn't help but look enviously at these upperclassmen and women in every sense of the word.
Unlike them, radiating youthful energy, Durin neither impatiently brushed away falling petals nor hastened to blend into their rhythm, instead entering the campus with the flow of people.
Instead, he picked off a petal that had landed on his head, took a deep breath, and the faint, unique scent of summer immediately filled his nostrils: Since he was returning to campus life, he might as well enjoy this new life thoroughly!
Harboring aspirations for campus life and anticipation for the vibrant university, Durin, standing at the school gate, tugged forward his instrument bag and stepped onto the campus, treading on the red carpet paved with petals.
