Chapter 206 - 206 (1/2)

v.5

While Arc and his group are in endless swamps, Gideon's team on the other hand, who recently finished a very invigorating fight, was back on the road, thier mission was another city called Cathedral, it was the home of the regions most prominent religious organization.

Gideon found out about it by talking and affiliating with other adventurers and merchants. Actually, they were able to figure out many other city locations, but this Cathedral and the religious organization named Hands of Cain are known for thier powerful artifacts and was also known for hoarding many unknown relics and artifacts recovered in many ancient ruins. They always pay the premium for every relic and artifacts they bought, making them very popular to the Adventurers and merchants, so it's not hard finding information about them. And the fact that this Hands of Cain is Hoarding many Artifacts and Relics is what caught their attention, so Gideon, along with 11 other Celeste, were tasked in investigating this Cathedral.

Gideon and the rest are acting as merchants and adventurers that are contracted as bodyguards. This kind of group is very common in Eden.

And registering as merchants is far more easier than registering as adventurers and considering that registering as an adventurer is as easy as making a new email account. While to become a merchant, all you need to do is pay and register a name for your merchant group and you will be a merchant.

Increasing your merchant ranks is also very easy, you just have to pay for it.

And money is not a problem for them, as Arc's very first factory, the currency factory is finally able to be used again, and making a currency used in Eden is child's play. Eden is using metal-based currency, and so Arc made a ton of them.

In fact, Arc has already forgotten about that little factory since he only used it very briefly.

But here in Eden, where there's no one to really regulate the currency and bartering is very famous, making a ton of it is not a problem. They were able to convert it into Credits in any local banks, and the bank never questions where it came from as long as its authentic coins they would accept it. After all, only one power is capable of making those coins, and no one was able to duplicate it after so many years. In fact, since its creation, so as long as the coins pass thier automatic machine coin inspection, they never question it.

Arc left the currency factory inside the Specter, so if anyone needs money, all they have to do is ask.

And Arielle is taking advantage of it. She sent many Celeste disguised as merchants to purchase as many rare materials as possible and bring it back to Specter.

And in just a few days, the number of resources they were able to acc.u.mulate was quite astonishing even for Arc. Again he praises himself for appointing Arielle as logistics and overall supervisor in Specter and Silva being her right hand. Silva also has a great experience in dealing with this kind of thing, so she was able to plan on how they can amass a huge amount of resources in the shortest amount of time.

The money being the biggest hurdle was easily overcomed by the Currency factory and everything else is a walk in a park for her. With her experiences and Arielle's management skills, they become a dynamic duo in Specter. Even leaving Eve with nothing to do in Specter since everything is taken care of by the duo.

Of course, they are curious about the technology that can perfectly mimic any type of physical currency. Especially the coins in Eden are made out of very advanced technology and magic.
