452 SHIFT IN BALANCE (2/2)
”In our younger days, we fulfilled all our duties without any failure or lame excuses. We took our pavilion to it's glory. But you youngsters are searching for the lame excuses for a newly established pavilion. The quality of the youngsters is falling down with each generation.”
All kind of replays were thrown on these poor people. Some elders asked not to look for any excuses. Some said that they can't even handle such a simple task. Some elders said that because of these youngsters their pavilion is losing it's former glory. Some elders said that because of these silly excuses they are like a stain to their pavilion. Some people even started to boast by saying how in their younger days they worked hard to take their pavilion where it is now. And the quality of the youngsters is falling down with each passing generations.
After hearing these replies, those poor people wanted to cry very badly. They discovered that asking for the elders' help was definitely a worst mistake. They should have not asked for these old bastards help.
They simply didn't know what exactly they were supposed to do now. At this moment except being depressed, they don't know what to do.

”Young miss! Why would you agree to their term of 10 Spirit Stones?” , One of the formation master asked, ”It's too much of the cost.”
”Then you have any better idea?” , Lansha asked, ”If you have, then please tell me.”
That formation master was silent. He didn't have any better idea. He said, ”At least, you can negotiate the price, right?”
Lansha said, ”We should cherish the chance that we received. I heard that in the Underground Dungeon, there exist not only the Peace Seeking Mine. In fact, the Peace Seeking Mine was present just in the first layer. Those five pavilions are analysing that there is a possibility that there exist even more abundant resources in the other layer. If these five pavilions got their hands on these resources, then they will definitely become a huge powerhouse that not even we can surpass. What's the point in negotiations. In fact, I think this price is truly worth. If we start negotiating the price, then we might anger them. And it might lead to the end of our business deal. I don't want to take such an huge risk.”
Both the formation masters fell silent once again. They knew that what Lansha said was true. There is an high possibility that there exist another extraordinary resources beside the Peace Seeking mine. If these five pavilions really monopolised these abundunt and tempting resources, then it won't be long before the balance of these big pavilions change. The entire power system will definitely shift to these five pavilions. It will lead to the war of attrition. These five pavilions will drop the price of their products. With the profit they make from the Underground Dungeon, droping the price of other common products won't hurt them that much.
But it will definitely hurt the Pavilions who failed to manage in winning the slots. Because they can't enjoy the resources of Underground Dungeon, they will not have other source of income. The power of monopoly will go completely in the hands of these five pavilions. They will become a super power that is very tough to catch up. They will be completely suppressed. In fact, their pavilions will start to decline. From major power they will decline to the ordinary power.
When they thought up to this far, those two formation masters felt that their heart shiver a little. Just imagining the consequences itself made their heart fall in deep nervous. If their imagination turned into reality, then they don't know what kind of horrible situation they will be in. They certainly don't want to take this huge risk.
