The Duke planned to use the money he had in hand; leaving it there wouldn't generate any interest.
There are banks on the West Coast, but they don't offer interest rates here. You still have to pay the bank to store your money.
After all, safeguarding so many magic stones and valuable items comes with some costs.
The Duke thought for a moment and decided to purchase a powerful self-defense demonized item.
He was primarily thinking about survival, always feeling that his defensive measures were not enough.
The Duke returned to the Alchemy Shop, which is officially called the Broken Cauldron Alchemy Shop, seemingly run by the Alchemy Association on the West Coast.
He was once again greeted by White, who had previously assisted him when purchasing the Shadow Insect Bag.
White, as before, gave the Duke a small brochure, a catalog of various demonized items.
The Duke did not look at it, as it contained demonized items that the Alchemy Shop routinely sold.
