Walking into the pawnshop on the 46th floor, as I looked around the shop a small green-skinned creature that very much resembled a goblin wearing one of the finest silk clothes I had ever seen approached me. Having processed the information I copied from the Myriad Realm Race Records, I knew that this creature belongs to the Goblin race of the dark realm.
The Goblin race like other dark races has a reputation to be cruelly greedy. They won't stop at anything to satisfy their greed. The goblin race has many tribes, this particular goblin that approached me belonged to the most nefarious tribe in the goblin race, the nomadic goblin tribe. They were a free-spirited tribe that travel around the dark realm stealing and looting people who could not defend themselves. And they were the go-to to sell/buy stolen goods in the dark realm. So it was not a surprise that I would find the members of this particular tribe running a pawnshop on the 47th floor of Dariaus Merchant Mall of the inter-realm city.
"Hello, I am Aul Tuh the owner of this humble pawn shop how may I help you?" the Goblin introduced himself as Aul Tuh and as the owner of the pawnshop.
pαпdα`noνɐ1`сoМ "I want to buy realm tokens are there any," I asked Aul Tuh.
"We do realm tokens, lots of them for attractive prices but I cannot sell them to you?" Aul Tuh said condescendingly, it came out of nowhere. His words were polite but his tone was not something a business owner would use while talking to their customers.
Various demon merchants entered the pawnshop along with me but they were received by the staff not the boss, I did not think there was a problem here until I heard his response. Now seeing the condescending look in his eyes prompted me to wonder why the owner of a fancy pawnshop would make time to receive an unknown customer at the entrance. With every passing second it was becoming clear that Aul Tuh was hostile toward me, but I don't understand why, or from where his hostility stems from. I don't even know the dude.
"Why?" I asked annoyed by his unwarranted hostility toward me.
"This is my pawnshop, last time I checked it meant I can do whatever the hell I wanted with it and did not require me to answer a vermin from some unknown corner of the myriad realm. You know what you are banned from my shop," Aul Tuh's response was opposite to when he welcomed me into the pawnshop. I could not determine what prompted such a drastic turn in his attitude.
"..." I did not bother to argue with Aul Tuh. Instead, turned and exited the pawnshop before he decides to make use of the inter-realm city features to throw me out to further embarrass me.
As much as I wanted to bite Aul Tuh's head off for what he called me I did not because I did not know the consequences of doing that would be. This place was new to me I had little idea about how things worked around here. I was no longer in sky blossom city but the inter-realm city this was a new field and the enemy has been here long enough to have the home-ground advantage.
I had no idea why Aul Tuh's attitude toward me suddenly changed extensively. As much as I wanted to threaten him with the demon merchant code's guilty appeal function, I did not because I did not want to appear making empty threats.
Since Aul Tuh dare to blatantly yell at me and claim that he would not sell his goods to me then he must be very confident about being exonerated scout-free even if I were to decide to report him to the devil merchant code using the Guilty appeal function for banning me from buying realm-tokens form his pawnshop.
So I controlled myself understanding taking a few small losses so that I could win when it mattered. After I got my facts straight, it would not be too late for me to kick this condescending midget's green ass.
Walking out of the pawnshop, the first thing I did was a thorough search on Aul Tuh's pawnshop to collect information about the enemy to understand who I was up against. If he did this to me then he must have done it to others too. And I bet I will be able to find a few articles on Aul Tuh and his pawnshop.
Honestly, I was pissed right now. I never thought there would come a day when I would be looked down on by a goblin. A fucking goblin. After digging through the inter-realm network I finally was able to find a few articles that did not sing praises about Aul Tuh and his pawn shop. The articles were buried under the fake publicity of Aul Tuh about his pawn shop. These articles were all free since they were mostly about the victims venting their anger about what they experienced in the pawnshop.
Turns out there were indeed reasons why Aul Tuh greeted me warmly at first but then turned his face hearing I wanted to buy a realm token and both of them were related to me being a demon merchant not from the dark realm. All the people who wrote an article about him were also demon merchants from various realms but the dark realm and had experienced something similar to me.
The reason why Aul Tul greeted me warmly when I entered the pawnshop was that he thought I was there to pawn something of value in his pawnshop. And once he knew that I was not there to pawn stuff but buy a realm token it did not take him a second to show his true self to me.
There were some items that demon merchants were too attached to because of the sentimental value those items held for them and they do not want to offer them to the devil merchant code but when facing difficult times they have no choice so they come to pawn them in the pawn shops so that when they were doing well financially they can claim it back, however, they never would have guessed that they would have been better of offering it to the devil merchant code instead of pawning their family heirlooms or inheritance in Aul Tuh's pawnshop or any other pawnshops in the Darius merchant mall.
