Chapter 193: Memory Lock (1/2)

”Now shall we begin? I am not sure what deal the dwarves had in mind but throw it out the window. All two hundred spiral relics will be sold at once.”

Opening their eyes wide in bewilderment and anger, I simply nodded. ”The starting price is... Silvia, what is a good number?”

”Me?” she questioned in surprise, blushing as she covered her mouth.

”Yes, you are quite familiar with this realm. What would be a good currency to ask for?”

”Ether Shards, or ES for short. That is what those within the mid and central region's trade. The outer region major families here do not dare ask for such since they believe it could potentially make them lose money.”

”Wow, you all are stupid... Damn, I have a lot of work on my hands. Do these people even understand the concept of the economy?” I exclaimed, shaking my head. ”Was this also the Jarls doing?”

”Correct,” said Trygve, ”He commanded that we start hoarding Ether Shards. the only time we use them is to pay taxes or tribute towards the Gods.”

”...”

Calm down, Arsene, calm down. Taking a deep breath, I pretended to smile, yet my gaze held a different story, ”Fine... anyway, Silvia, go on, please.”

”Sure... ” She voiced in a delaying tone, ” Well, I would say a single Spiral Relic should be about two million Ether Shards, depending on how much they can hold.”

Paling Trygve arose, shaking his head, ”That would be four hundred million ES. No one within this city can afford that, and that's only the starting price.”

”they don't need to; it's not for them, but for those within the Middle and Center Regions. That's why I'm selling them within a bundle. Please, think of this as a start-up fund for me. ” I politely responded, taking another sip of water. ”And the house will receive... let's say 5 percent.”

”That's not acceptable,” Brerson voiced in an annoyed tone. However, his father immediately held his arm out, silencing him.

”What do you think our cut will be?” he asked in an interesting smile.

”This could potentially be worth about a billion ES, so you do the math.” I lightly said, ”Plus, it's not like it's going to be the only time I sell such merchandise. Charge a fill hundred thousand for each seat. This may change the entire realm of Midgard.”

”Now, shall we talk about protection?” I asked with a cold smile. ”I'm sure a few masters of World shall be attending. While I myself cannot contest against them, I would suggest you all warn them. Until its sold, this property is under the rule of Vaevictis.”

”Who?!” Brerson exclaimed

”Should they attack, they will find out,” I warned, not bothering to explain anymore. Rising from my chair, I smirked, ”This shall be it. I hope this will profit the both of us.”

Reaching out my arm Trygve firmly shook my arm as I nodded, turning to leave, leaving the fool turning red with humiliation as I ignored his arm hanging out, waiting for the same mutual respect I showed his father.

Pulling out my phone, I quickly began to text while making my way to my carriage.

Me: Auction within Three days. Can Lilith or Ezra attend?

Yura: Both of them should be able to join. Anything else?”

Me: Are you in a rush?
