Chapter 68: Layns response to the offer (r18 in the background) (1/2)
”Okay, I guess we need to take care of the daily matters as well.” Falling back onto the soft mattress of their bed, Layn exhaled a mouthful of air with satisfaction. The moments he just shared with Irea were incomparable to what he knew from those few times he slept with Ortensia. 'If I were to be forced to draw a comparison… It would be a difference between making love to one's woman and just fucking with a brothel's whore, I guess?'
”You stand up first. I might need… a few more moments to rest.” Gracing the archmage with a gentle yet uneasy smile, Irea curled up on the bed while moving her hands towards her crotch. Yet, rather than pleasuring herself or doing anything else that could pull Layn back into her embrace, she simply started to massage her abdomen, as if all the times the two of them went at it resulted in a residual pain in her crotch.
”Sure, it's not like we need to get out of the room to deal with them in the first place.” Smiling widely, Layn stood up from the bed and approached the desk where the message from before was resting. Even though the translation spell Layn was currently using had nothing to do with reading, surprisingly enough the numbers appeared to be written in roughly the same way as they would be used in the future.
”A thousand grade-one stones and few hundred grade-two stones… If I were to ask you, do you think it's a fair price for that treasure of ours?” Putting the piece of paper back on the table, Layn sunk deep in his thoughts as he asked.
”Well… Given how that treasure outputs roughly two and a half grade one stones worth of energy per hour, it equals about sixty grade one stones in a day. If we talk only about the grade-ones they offered, then that treasure produced enough energy to cover it in less than seventeen days…” Turning silent for a moment, Irea moved her upper body up, turning from lying on her back to a sitting position where all the charms of her body were in a full display. Unable to stop his eyes from wandering all over her body, Layn shivered when he noticed a small bit of his sperm still flowing out of her secret garden.
'It's as if just this sight alone was enough to put me in a heaven…' What could be obvious for others, for Layn was still a pretty new experience. Even though he wasn't a mental virgin when he first laid with Irea, being able to see the proof of his conquest still made a thrill of joy travel down his spine.
”The same cannot be said about those grade two stones. The thing is… I highly doubt some random disciple or even a group of disciples could procure such an insane wealth on their own.” Shaking her head, Irea rubbed her chin when she suddenly noticed where Layn's eyes were glued to. With her smile only widening, she moved her legs even further apart, allowing the archmage to stare at the effect of his hard toil in its full glory.
”Come on, I know I shouldn't stare like that, but right now you are outright provoking me!” Theatrically moving his head away, Layn protested only to hear a joyous giggle in response. While it wasn't anything much, it only proved that Irea was finally starting to relax in his presence, something that she had trouble with ever since she saw a small portion of his capabilities.
”As for the topic on hand, that's just what I expected. I guess they are not actually trying to buy the treasure from us but do us in instead.” According to the usual ratios, a single grade two stone was worth roughly a thousand grade one stones. While the ratios depended on the size, intensity, and many other aspects of both types of stones, this was the commonly agreed turnover back in the past where humans had precise tools to measure the energy within each of the stones.
”While it's just a guess… I think they didn't believe I would know the value of a grade two stones, hence the thousand of grade ones in their offer. But just to confirm, what they proposed should equal roughly two hundred and one thousand grade one stones? Roughly, ten years' worth of the treasure output, right?” That was the result of Layn's calculation. 'To think that they would be so shrewd… Thinking calmly, that's about as much as I would offer if I didn't know how to make such treasures in the first place…'
”Yeah. Not perfectly like that, but roughly yeah.” Finally done with teasing Layn by showcasing the attributes of her body, Irea managed to stand up and grab the clothes she previously threw to the side. Moving carefully towards the bail with water, she quickly washed all the residual sperm from her crotch before dressing herself up. Yet, as she made her way towards the table when Layn was sitting, her legs suddenly gave up, prompting Layn to rush forward and help her regain her stability.
