Chapter 161: Making A Deal

-----

"So? Why are you showing me this amazing material? By just looking at it, I can already imagine I could make at least a thousand Mana Potions of Unique if not Legendary Rank… In brute, it would cost around… so many millions… It could also be used to make equipment… also accessories with these items… would cost even more!" She exclaimed.

"Yep, I don't like to owe money to people, so take this as the collateral. You can use it to do whatever you want," I said.

"Th-This is… Really?!"

"It is just a crystal, so yeah… Take it," I said.

Julia swallowed saliva as she took the jewel and looked at it with her bright eyes.

Suddenly, her eyes shone brightly.

Indeed, she used a special Skill she had.

It was named "Jeweler Eyes," and it makes her eyes do something similar to my Analyze ability, but it only works on materials and certain items made from them, such as potions and equipment.

It is like Appraisal, but it doesn't work on living beings.

This is a useful Skill as it allows her to never be scammed by falsified items.

"It is genuine," She said in awe.

"Of course, do you think I am lying?" I asked.

I quickly took out the severed head of Silvio.

Sorry, Silvio…

"Uwah! Okay, that's certainly a vampire! T-take that disgusting thing out of my sight!" She shouted.

"Hahaha! Alright, alright, sorry," I said, throwing Silvio's head back into my shadow.

"I'll take it then if you insist so much… This will elevate my capital, even. Such an amazing item… if other aristocrats were to know about it, they would all try to devour me alive to get it," Said Julia.

"A-Are B Rank Materials that expensive?" I wondered.

"What? Of course! Don't you realize? You knew a bit about it, didn't you?" She sighed.

"Yeaaah…" I said.

"Well, for starters, D Rank Materials are already very expensive and used to make a variety of amazing equipment or magic tools. Magic Crystals are usually the most precious of the materials within monsters. C Rank Materials are expensive, but only organizations such as Guilds can properly secure them from Adventurers… B Rank Materials… well, they're already at duchy level. Only people as prestigious as me or… a few other aristocrats from here could afford this thing… This Magic Crystal alone has the power to fuel the entire Capital of the Kingdom for several years," She said.

"Fuel?" I asked.

"Indeed. Don't you know? I guess you're quite the traveler to have never gone to the capital…." She said.

"Sorry…" I said.

"Ah, don't worry about it. Anyways, if you didn't know already, atop the ceiling, around this place, in the kitchen, downstairs, and so on, there are many magical artifacts, or, as some like to call them: magic technology items. You use Mana to fuel them. The light bulbs, the freezer, the communication artifact, the light on the streets, the machine to wash clothes, and so on. Magic Crystals are the precious resource that allows us to have such commodities. The more Mana they can provide, the better they're sold and the more valuable they are. Therefore, one of this caliber is very amazing… Even gifting it to my grandfather would leave him a bit shocked," Said Julia.

So I got a goldmine in my pockets?! I got two more of those and another massive pile of magic crystals I've been collecting from other monsters… Ah, right, I also got the magic crystals of the Necromancer Vampire, the Scientist, and all his Chimeras too.

I better use this as my capital from now on.

pᴀɴdᴀ "I got way more of those from where that came from. I will use them as the capital of my village. Hopefully, you can help me out with the business and other complicated stuff," I said.

"Sure thing! This has unexpectedly become a great business… Hehe," She giggled rather childishly.

I could notice that she still had many aristocrats' traits, such as greediness.

After that, I signed some documents that I had read carefully by Julia. These were transaction documents, alongside another document for a contract, contracting my group as her mercenaries and myself, of course.

The terms were reasonable, and there were no little letters on them, so I wrote them down without a problem. After that, she quickly began to mobilize her servants in an instant.

Five large carriages that could easily transport many goods and also people reached up to me. They were big enough to be only bought by rich merchants. The wheels were also steel-covered, and five strong horses were included.

After that, boxes after boxes made of wood began to pile up at the side. They had enchantments on them that made food take a longer time to decompose, so they were ideal for carrying a lot of food. They were also filled with various vegetables such as tubers, grains, fruits, bread, meat, and more.

"And done… Do you want my men to put the things inside the carriages?" She asked.

"Oh no, don't worry about it," I said.

I touched each item and put them inside my Inventory one by one. Julia looked at the scene with eyes wide open. Everything simply was disappearing and entering into another space.

"I-Is that spatial magic?" She asked in shock.

"Oh no, this is just… a way to put them in my shadows! Yeah, they're stored so fast you can't see them," I said.

"I-I see… I was sure that my eyes had not deceived me, but if you say so…" She said.

After this was done, I decided to finally move over at long last.

But, before that, I decided to leave something for her.

"Here, this is a Summon I can create, a Familiar Spirit… Yes, you can call it like that," I said as I divided my phantom and created another Snake Ghost Clone.

"A-A snake? It looks ghastly…." She said

"Yes, it is a Ghost Snake. It can cross through walls and more, and it has sharp eyesight. You can use it to speak with me wherever you need to. It is directly connected to my mind. I will use it to protect you as well. Despite how it looks, it's strong," I explained.

"Oooh… I see… Very well then, thank you very much for it…" She said.
