Chapter 24
I quickly slip away from everyone and struggle to find my way to the 7th floor d.a.m.n moving stairs and English building structures I finally find my way to the tapestry of dancing trolls and think about what I want first I'll start slow.
'I want all
in front of me are thousands of potion vials and bottles most of which are empty are filled with rotten black goo over a 1000 years in storage certainly hasn't done them any favors. I quickly start stuffing them into my inventory basically all of them are rotten poison I find a few actual deadly poisons I'll keep for later nothing noteworthy I sell everything and make about 2500gp. my next thought are on a few rare items I hope there are some in here I start thinking about pensives in the lost room and there they are right in front of me 3 of them all broken shame I can only sell them I make about 300gp from the materials they are made out of. I can buy a new one if I really need it and I most likely will. onto the next item I hope for. show me time turners! 5 broken time turners 3 without sand I sell those and inventory the other 2 another 200gp to the bank. I can use these for my farm hopefully. next wish show me all books and scrolls in the lost room. there's tens of thousands possibly hundreds of thousands I have no way to sort anything right now I take off my trunk necklace and set it up for the library and call dypsy. dypsy pops up in front of me. "yes master?" she asks
I tell her I need her to stock my library in the trunk with books only the scrolls will go into my kingdom library for now and all the spare books that can't fit in my trunk I tell her to only put one of each book in the trunk and leave the spares for the kingdom she starts levitating books buy the hundreds into my trunk while I start storing scrolls in my inventory I have to go to the kingdom to physically put them in the library it's faster that way it takes close to half an hour to finish stocking the trunk there's still a small mountain of books left I quickly store them I'll have one of my shadows organize the libraries next step of the plan. show me herbs and seeds.nothing at all. they most likely couldn't survive from or people just don't store that when hiding things. show me treasures to keep my enemies at bay. a bunch of broken sneak-scoped a shatter foe gla.s.s some random dark detectors I don't know pop up I store them all all sell the broke things earning about 500 more gp materials sell. show me weapons. about 100 different swords spears broken bows rusted and b.l.o.o.d.y unrecognizable items I store it all and sell the junk for a bit next on show me all the treasures. a small mountain of gold and jewelry and rare priceless artifacts like faberge eggs pop up I'll keep those to show off I sell the sc.r.a.p gold and silver for a little over 5m gp I've made huge gains today now for the last things. show me all the cursed items. It's there screaming at me to put it on that it will grant me wisdom beyond measure. all I have to do is reach out and take it. a beautiful silver tiara urging me coaxing me begging just a few feet away. "RYAN!" I slam down my occulmency s.h.i.+elds and take a few steps back my mind a mess I'm breathing heavily and everything is a bit blurred Ca.s.sie saved my a.s.s I got a little too complacent there's about 20 odd cursed items lying around including one I'm looking for I store them all and sell the deadly ones leaving the tiara behind before is make my way out of the room with its quiet whispers following me after I picked up my trunk. I slowly compose my mind in the hall and no thank Ca.s.sie as she scolds me for being an idiot I agree with this statement and accept my punishment of being scolded when this is done I walk back in front of the tapestry and pace asking for the room of lost things I enter and see that everything still looks cramped and junky I notice the busted vanis.h.i.+ng cabinet I have to leave alone a giant harp and other c.r.a.p I also notice a giant covered object I'm 100% sure is the mirror of erised I leave not wanting to risk that potential landmine today and make my way back to the common room and head up to the dormitory and slowly set up my trunk and head inside I have dipsy fix me dinner while I take a nice shower to relax I eat and then head to bed early later receiving my night cuddles from a potentially worried Luna.
