Chapter 750: Demonstration (2/2)
They are in a military uniform sitting in Sam's makeshift office beside Raunak's office.
”We are from the Star One Military unit. We are here to discuss the deal of the coconut biscuits.”
The one who spoke is the human, not the elf. Even when Sam asked them to take a seat, only the human took the seat, the elf didn't take the seat at all and stood straight clearly showing their rankings.
It is new for Sam.
”I was told you are coming. Do you want to take the tour around the factory first? We can talk about the price later.”
”Sure.”
Sam took them to the factory where the shadows are working to produce the biscuits. One place is for drying the coconut, the second one is for grating the dried coconut, then the flour preparation, and finally the last place where the cookies are baked in a large stone oven.
After the small tour was over, Sam said.
”I couldn't hire the workers from the city, so I have to make do with these shadows.”
”Shadow necromancy and using it for making food is really a pity.” The human said
”Well, it wouldn't be long. Since you guys are going to take over, I can put the shadows back to their proper use.”
”So, shall we discuss the price?”
”How much do you want to offer?”
”A half-a-billion seems like a fair price.”
”Lets go a bit higher, Shall we?”
”Six hundred?”
”Eight hundred.”
”But that is just a recipe. Do you really think it is worth it?”
”It is not about the recipe. The land itself is a bit expensive and the construction took a lot out of me. You must have heard, but I couldn't hire any workers or any other construction company to do the construction. I had to finish the construction all by myself from the scratch.
It is not exactly a pleasant feeling, but I still held my end of the deal. Apart from that, the recipe itself has too many effects that could help the elves. I might be human, but I have an elf helping with the tasting.
A liquor recipe can go for a billion, don't tell me that this is not worth it. If it is not for the effects, don't tell me you are here just for its taste.”
”Seven fifty. That's as high as we can get.”
”Deal.”
They shook the hands.
”I noticed that you said you built the whole factory yourself. How is that possible? Even the stones seem like they are a bit different.”
”It's because of creation from a subordinate of mine. It helps in construction. In fact, it is faster than any of the traditional construction methods.”
”Can we see?”
”Why not?”
Sam led them out and he started mixing some cement and showed the process. After joining two rocks and pouring a concrete slab. He spoke.
”If you would stay for the night, you can see the results.”
”We would wait.”
”Then let us eat something. I don't cook for others very often, it might be your lucky day.”
Sam then led them and started grilling steaks and made some mashed potato.
He even took some liquors for their taste and they had a pleasant dinner in which even Raunak joined.
They talked about a lot of things.
”I would like to ask something if you don't mind,” Sam said as they enjoyed the meal.
”Please do.”
”Do you buy weapons?”
”Weapons? Don't you know that it is illegal for others to sell weapons? We can only buy weapons from the military armory.”
”Then what about special weapons? Things that are not available in the armory.”
”Depends on how special the weapon is. But even then, it would be hard for you to get the approval to sell the weapons, you can sell designs though.”
”Oh, thanks for the information.”
Then the whole table fell silent and they went back to enjoying the food as if nothing happened.
