Just as Felicia was about to leave the shop, the shop owner shook a bronze bell at his side, and the crisp sound rang out.

She turned back to see the shop owner clicking his tongue and saying, “If none of these match the sound you’re looking for, then you’ll need to find a craftsman to custom–make one for you.

Just then, the shop owner chuckled and pointed to the display case behind him. “If you buy something from my shop, I’ll tell you where I’ve heard a bell like the one you described.”
