Chapter 298: Chapter 194: Brought a Gift for the Adult_2
“Analogy, analogy, if you don’t want to do it, don’t do it. Ange wouldn’t be happy if you did anyway. What if you accidentally trampled and ruined it? What I meant was that obedience is more important than power.”
“Anyway, I won’t do farm work. Anything else is fine.”
“Then you can go and pick manure with Little Angel.”
“Ah! I’ll kill you!”
So, all the followers present saw a shocking scene. The kind-hearted and caring sister-like Lisa started chasing and beating Bronze Dragon.
There’s a new bounty at the Mercenary Guild of Roland City: Find a stone that can create air bubbles at high wind speeds. The reward is one hundred Demon Crystals.
Almost the next day, someone brought a stone to claim the reward.
Because you can trade anonymously through the Teleportation Array, the reward initiator doesn’t even have to go to the Mercenary Guild personally. You just need to connect to the public Teleportation Array of the Mercenary Guild, pay some communication and teleportation costs, and pay the reward in advance.
“Is it that convenient?” Negris couldn’t believe what he was seeing, as Lisa was operating in front of the Teleportation Array, he said unbelievably.
“Of course, if it’s not convenient and confidential, who would issue a bounty through the Mercenary Guild? The commission is fifteen percent. For a reward of one hundred Demon Crystals, I have to pay one hundred and fifteen Demon Crystals, plus three Demon Crystals for teleportation fees. It’s a total loss,” Lisa said painfully.
The stone that was teleported over was indeed the Air Bubble Stone. The final hurdle to Ange’s visit to the Holy Kingdom was thus solved.
“How is it? Is this the one? If it is, then I’ll confirm it. If not, the stone has to be returned, and the reward will continue,” Lisa said.
“What if I switch the stone?” Negris curiously asked.
Lisa laughed, “The Mercenary Guild is responsible for appraisal. If we switch the stone, they will directly terminate the bounty, pay the reward to the other party, and this Teleportation Array will be blacklisted.”
“They also appraise? Then the fifteen percent commission is not too high. It is indeed the Air Bubble Stone we need. Can we add more to the reward, ask the person who claimed the bounty, where these Air Bubble Stones come from? One is too few. If we frequently travel to and from Heaven in the future, more of these stones would be beneficial.”
“That’s possible.” Another one hundred Demon Crystals were added to ask about the origin of the Air Bubble Stone. Soon, the other side replied that the mercenary who completed the bounty wanted to talk to them personally.
“Hello, boss, I can provide you with a large number of these stones. It only costs five Demon Crystals per piece.” A sincere voice came from the other side, and it sounded a bit familiar.
Negris laughed in anger. He offered a bounty of one hundred Demon Crystals because it might come from another plane. Any object, even a stone, from another plane could be worth a hundred or so Demon Crystals.
But as long as there’s a way to obtain it, it’s just a piece of stone. Perhaps in other planes, it’s just a stone that can be found anywhere. You want to sell a stone for five Demon Crystals?
“One hundred Demon Crystals, I want all the information about this stone. If you’re not willing to tell us, then we’ll continue to post rewards. Of all the mercenaries in the world, you’re probably not the only one who knows the origin of this stone.”
“Why bother? It’s too tiring and troublesome to get it yourself. You might as well buy from me. At most, I can give you a little discount. Four and a half Demon Crystals for a stone, how about it? Four? Three, the lowest is three, can’t be less. Hey, why are you so stingy? One per one, one Demon Crystal is the lowest.”
Negris really wanted to cut off the communication, but the more he listened, the more familiar this voice became. He held back his temper and continued to listen and think about where he had heard this voice before?
“Why are you more stingy than an Elf? Okay fine, one hundred Demon Crystals then. I’ll tell you which plane produces this kind of stone, but how you’re going to get there and whether you can find this kind of stone when you get there, I can’t guarantee that,” the voice on the other side said.
Elf? Negris suddenly remembered why the voice was so familiar. He tentatively asked, “Silver Coin?”
“Ah? Who are you?” The guy on the other side got scared, and his voice became panicked. It felt as if he was about to trade with a tavern maid, and the boss suddenly called out his name.
“Find a safe place, I’ll look for you later,” Negris said cautiously.
This connection is with the Mercenary Guild’s Teleportation Array, which is not safe.
Silver Coin also realised this point, and he quickly guessed who was on the other end of the line. Being talked to in this tone and with the confidence to be able to reach him at any time, it could only be Anthony or Lord Ange. The person speaking was that underdeveloped Bronze Dragon.
While Silver Coin was looking for a safe place, Negris couldn’t help but complain to Ange, “Why does Silver Coin have Air Bubble Stones, and you didn’t know? Isn’t he your fervent disciple?”
Ange tilted his head, “Can’t farm.”
Negris was so irritated that his beard bristled, “So you’re saying that because you can’t use them for farming, Silver Coin might have mentioned it to you, but you didn’t remember, right?”
Ange nodded.
Negris was powerless. He suspected that many things were being overlooked by Ange. If it had nothing to do with farming, he wouldn’t pay it any mind at all.
It seemed plausible. Even though Silver Coin was his fervent disciple, and with the Elf’s business permit and tax-exempt status, with Silver Coin’s ability to scheme and manoeuvre, he would definitely prosper.
He vaguely remembered that Anthony had mentioned it before, that Silver Coin was doing very well. Anthony even borrowed money from him, but Ange never talked about Silver Coin’s situation.
