Adam met the elf's gaze.
"I'm currently at the Apprentice Realm."
The elf blinked.
For a moment, it looked like she was about to refuse outright.
But Adam spoke again before she could.
"There's no rule against buying a conduit early, is there?"
He shrugged casually.
"Prices go up all the time. Who knows how expensive they'll be by the time I actually need one?"
The elf stared at him.
Completely stunned.
Who buys a conduit they can't even use for another four ranks?
The thought almost slipped out of her mouth.
But she stopped herself.
After all, a sale was a sale.
And Royal Purple conduits came with extremely generous commissions.
Her expression quickly returned to professional politeness.
"Of course, sir. The Royal Purple conduits are this way."
Adam had already activated Connect earlier.
So when she turned around, he wasn't surprised by the faint trace of Avarice he sensed from her emotions.
He followed her deeper into the store.
