Chapter 365: Leaving Silver Kingdom part 1 (1/2)
Proofreader: M_W Miss Fierce
The moment Evangelion returned, he was already bringing with him a Storage Ring that contains all the gold coins inside.
”Here's the 10 million gold coins that Madam Silva has asked me to give to you,” Evangelion carefully handed Leo the Storage Ring.
”10 million gold coins?!!” Ethan, Edward, and Sele immediately became even more shocked the moment they heard those words from Evangelion.
Didn't Madam Silva just say that she would be giving Leo 5 million gold coins? So how did it suddenly turned into 10 million gold coins?! This... is the best scam they ever encountered in their entire life!
On the other hand, Leo didn't find it very strange for Madam Silva to add another 5 million gold coins on top of the first 5 million gold coins out of nowhere. In fact, he even found it very strange as she actually only added 5 million gold coins after giving her every single Chaos stone he has. Remembering back then, even only selling her a total of 9 large Mana stones and a few hundreds of ordinary Magical Beasts carcasses, has earned him 10 million gold coins easily.
A few seconds later, Leo finally realized the reason why ”It's definitely because they are now leaving Silver Kingdom that's why she could only add 5 million gold coins more. The trip from Silver Kingdom to Dragon Horn Empire would certainly cause them a fortune, considering the extremely far distance, then adding more to the cost would be all the items that they have bought with them right now.”
What Leo had thought was indeed the truth. Because Sword and Magic were leaving Silver Kingdom, Madam Silva could only spare a small 'pocket change' to Leo.
The cost alone for traveling from Silver Kingdom towards Dragon Horn Empire on a Flyingship, since Flyingboats won't be able to handle such a far distance, would already cost 100,000 gold coins each person. There are a total of more than 10,000 people with Madam Silva, hence she would be spending more than a billion gold coins on just her people alone. Adding all the items that they were bringing with them right now, it would cost her a total of around 1.5 billion gold coins.
Although 1.5 billion gold coins were just a small sum for the Sword and Magic, Madam Silva wasn't the Sword and Magic. She was a separate entity to the organization, so for her 1.5 billion gold coins was already a lot.
As to why Madam Silva was the one paying for all of the cost for the trip, it's simply because she was the one who decided to leave Silver Kingdom, not an order from the main branch, specifically the Sword and Magic Headquarters. Therefore, every expense she spends on this trip wouldn't be refunded to her. Though in the end, she would definitely still ask for a refund from the two Vice-president of Sword and Magic.
”I'll take my leave now, bye-bye!” Leo waved his hand to Evangelion before leaving the tent along with Ethan, Edward, and Sele, who were all brimming in smiles.
In the mind of the trio, they were thinking of how big their Guild would turn out to be with such a huge amount of initial funds. They even thought that maybe they will be able to become as big as Mischievous Lion organization easily.
They would definitely be left in shock if they knew that for Leo the 10 million gold coins weren't even considered enough as a startup. After all, he was planning to make it big, that's why 10 million gold coins weren't still considered enough.
After leaving Sword and Magic, Leo immediately left to meet up with Cassandra and the others. As for Ethan, Edward, and Sele, the three of them went on separate ways. Ethan went to look for Princess Elaine as he would be bringer her on this trip. While on the other hand, Edward and Sele left to go on a date.
Anyways, there was still a bit of time left before they would finally begin their journey to leave Silver Kingdom, so he wasn't bothered with it. To be honest, he even encourages them to act normal, so that no one would be able to suspect that he was actually planning on leaving Silver Kingdom.
Soon, Leo finally meets up with Cassandra and the others.
They were all inside their tent, sitting while talking with each other. But, looking closely at one of their fingers, he immediately saw all of them having a Storage Ring, even including Cassandra who was supposedly unable to afford such a Magical item since the money he had given to her before has already all been spent.
Well, all of these women were now treating each other as sisters, so for them to buy something for one another was still within his expectations. Or maybe Cassandra has indeed earned enough money when he was still at Twilight Forest before, hence allowing her to buy a Storage Ring for herself.
”Leo!” Cassandra immediately greeted Leo the moment she saw him walked inside their tent.
Elizabeth, Angel, Veronica, Ash, and Charlotte all greeted Leo with a smile on their beautiful faces, as well.
”Are all of you prepared?” Leo didn't bother beating around the bush anymore as he immediately asked about their preparation for their trip.
”Yes, we have secretly bought a lot of important stuff from the Sword and Magic yesterday through the help of Angel.” Cassandra nodded her head in affirmation.
”We have clothes, foods, important necessities, and even tents and cooking-ware,” Elizabeth said.
”We also bought a lot of weapons, armors, and a few of its spare parts. We also didn't forget to buy some important tools for repair, cutting woods, mining ores, and many more.” Angel added.
”Not only that, but we also bought Mana stones and all sorts of common Magical resources so that we can continue on cultivating while on a trip.” Veronica said with a smile.
”I've already prepared the people that will come with us, so there is no need to worry about the lack of manpower anymore.” Ash reminded.
After Cassandra, Elizabeth, Angel, Veronica, and Ash finished explaining what they have prepared, they then all slowly turned to look at Charlotte, including Leo, as they want to know what she has prepared.
