Chapter 1050: ...Youll Slip One Way Or Another (1/2)
”I only have the grant to sell these in my store for another ten thousand or so years due to the achievements of my ancestor. Therefore, I will only accept Peak-Level Spirit Stones if you're buying the Pestilent Dragonfly Dust Spawn.”
”If you want to confirm this history, you can go ahead and check...” Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim additionally added.
”So, that's why...” Davis felt that this explanation was understandable, acceptable, and also respectable.
Besides, the price was still affordable since he possessed a hundred and forty-two Peak-Level Spirit Stones with him, also looted from those four Grand Elders of the Ethren Empire. Paying for this would put a small dent in his current fortune, but he ascertained that this was a necessary expenditure.
”Then, can I take this act of gifting me that you want to bribe me into looking out for Nora Alstreim?”
”Haha! I like it that Alchemist Davis is quick on the uptake! No wonder our younger generation couldn't hold a candle to your prowess!” Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim laughed.
”Well then... I'll take you up on your offer.”
”However,” Davis abruptly grinned with a lewd gaze, ”Don't blame me if I go overboard in 'looking out' for Nora Alstreim.”
Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim's laughing expression became cold as he coldly chuckled. His gaze became a bit threatening even, ”Young man, don't think that just because you reached the Mature Soul Stage at the mere age of less than a hundred, you reign the world. If you only kept looking at the skies and forgot to watch your steps that are on the surface, you'll slip one way or another.”
”Oh? Do I hear it right? Are you threatening me?” Davis grinned even more.
Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim suddenly smiled, ”Although, I don't see how the Dragon Queen will let someone harm her subordinate.”
”Heh! Nora Alstreim isn't Young Mistress's subordinate yet.” Davis sneered.
”That's just a matter of time.”
Davis and Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim stared at each other with wide eyes. Sparks flew as it was almost going to ignite the surroundings in flames.
Nadia's fingers twitched, a hint of dark energy taking shape in a concealed manner.
”Xiao Meili...”
”Uh-Yes!” Xiao Meili instantly responded to Alchemist Davis's voice.
”There you have it. Your Verdant Alstreim Treasure House owner told me that he'd gift all other Poison Essences, and as for the Pestilent Dragonfly Dust Spawn, I will pay with Peak-Level Spirit Stones.”
He turned to look at her, ”I'll trust you'll deliver them to the Purple Guest Palace within two days?”
Xiao Melli panicked as she didn't know that to do. It was true that Grand Elder said it before but after this, would the Grand Elder's stance still be the same!?
She looked at Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim and saw him smilingly nod his head.
”Yes! Xiao Melli will deliver the Spirit Attribute Sources to the Purple Guest Palace even if I have to exchange it with my life!”
”Very good!” Davis waved his hand, and a few dozen stones came out floating in the air.
Fifty colorless stones glowed with transparency, sending a bit of their rich and unadulterated energy brushing past the figures of Davis and the others. They were all head-sized stones that possessed immense and pure yet unrefined heaven and earth energy within them.
Xiao Melli received it all with care and kept it within a new spatial ring that she always wore for new transactions. At the same time, she couldn't help but feel ecstatic!
Many came to view these Spirit Attribute Sources with her receiving, but none of them bought it, and in all these years, she never had the chance to involve herself in transactions that were worth High-Level Spirit Stones because her seniors would arbitrarily take over or forcefully take the potentially paying patrons away from her.
