I was eager to know how much my equipnt was sold for. I knew the number of them was very large, however most of them were low level, level ten equipnt, with a small part of them level fifteen.
What I lacked in level was compensated in numbers. So, I waited with no patience for his reply, which ca once I asked as he said:
"You offered ten thousand level ten pieces of equipnt, and four thousand seven hundred pieces of level fifteen equipnt. All of them are dark gold grade.
The price of each type of equipnt varied according to the level and type of the equipnt. Do you want to hear the details or the final number?"
I was about to instantly reply by choosing the final number, however Gabri interfered again as he said:
"Tell us the exact numbers for each type of equipnt."
He was right, and I was impatient and not in the mood to hear any nurical details. So I let the two discuss it as I waited on the side to hear the final result. This figures no matter how low or big it was, it was crucial to my future.
I would use this wealth and start building my new legacy out there at these sacred lands. Power needed money, and wars were always costly. Without enough financial support, my plans would fail.
After nearly half an hour of debates and discussions, both stopped talking as Gabri looked at with a beaming smile. That was more than enough as a good sign for .
It seed we gained enough to establish a decent post for us there, and buy ourselves a great army to defend my lands.
"I'm sorry princess, the final number of the equipnt can't be pushed anyway higher than that."
He started his speech with these words which gave a bad impression, however his beaming smile made it impossible for to believe his words. This Gabri was sothing, it seed he was very experienced and best suited as a rchant, not a swordsman.
"The price of each kind differed from one another, however the average price of level ten equipnt was ten gold coins, and for level fifteen it's twenty five gold coins," he added before he paused on purpose.
I wasn't the only one waiting for his final declaration, as Rody, Elyo, and even my butler Diana was waiting to hear the final price for all of our equipnt.
"The final price of all equipnt is two hundred and seventeen thousand and fifty gold coins. Given the current five tis compensation from the hall, then you will net slightly over one million gold coins."
"Wow!!"
This ti I shouted out loud from my excitation. I had one million gold coins right now, and thus I could do whatever I wanted at the sacred lands. Right now I felt invincible, the power of money and wealth was really intoxicating.
"This is about the gold coins, which will be transferred now to your account in the ga by this master," the master of the hall said with a bitter face. It seed Gabri had really pressed him hard and never let him do anything bad to .
This Gabri was my hero for today, as all of these compensations were his achievents. If it was up to I would be content with only double the price of the equipnt as compensation.
Although others helped in this, Gabri had the full credit here. I looked at him for a mont as he mistook my look, so he said:
'This is the highest amount of gold coins I could get from squeezing that sly rchant here.'
He sent this to privately. I looked strangely towards him as I sent back:
'Don't think I'm angry with you, I'm proud of what you did. this wealth is very important to our future, so the credit is all yours.'
He smiled after reading my ssage, at the sa ti the auction hall master said:
"Now I will tell you the three treasures I have prepared for you. We agreed to three treasure belonging to these three categories, military category, team supportive category, and special category, attack type treasures.
Based on this agreent, I have selected these three treasures. The first one is called the armored balloon treasure which is classified under the military category treasures.
The second treasure is the legendary gryphin formation, which belongs to the team supportive category.
As for the third treasure, I have really considered this hard for you. I knew so details about your next journey towards the sacred lands. There is a treasure that really suits your mission and will greatly affect the course of battle there.
However, this treasure is classified in a higher category than what I can select for your compensation. To get this treasure you need to pay so amount of money."
The rchants would die always sly, but they would never make a losing bargain. This snake knew he would lose a lot of money, so he was trying to minimize his losses.
I didn't reply at once, as I looked towards my trading right hand, Gabri. With my look, Gabri understood what I wanted him to do, so he interfered in the discussion by saying:
"May I know what are the details of this treasure before agreeing to your offer? And how much gold coins do you want from us to get it?"
The master of this auction hall didn't find the interference of Gabri unusual, as he expected that. With his calm face and irritating smile he said:
"The treasure is called the sacred lands artifact. It's an artifact grade type of treasure, which was acquired from the sacred lands a long ti ago.
I don't need much for it, but for an artifact grade treasure that could imprison demons and turn them into your loyal servants, I believe it worth the price of an addition of one million gold coins. What do you think?"
That bastard, he wanted to get his money back in such a an way. Just before Gabri could say anything, I said with aggressive tone:
"Before anything else, you didn't say all the details regarding this artifact. I believe sothing special like this would have been long acquired by players older than us. Then why does it stay with you?
I believe this treasure of yours has a catch, sothing that is hard to fulfill as a condition to gain the desired effect. Perhaps it's a limitation, am I correct?"
The face of that sly fox changed once I opened my mouth. That rchant was trying to deceive us by saying half of the truth, the good face of things. However nothing had such a magical effect would co without a price, and the price wouldn't be its high selling price.
It must be a condition that was hard to et, that condition would make believe I could use it and risk buying this artifact or not.
"You how do you know that?"
He muttered with extre shock and obvious anger. It seed this man agreed to Gabri's offer as he was confident of securing the money back using this cheap trick.
"I simply know. Now, tell us what is the catch or else I don't want this treasure."
The master stayed silent hesitating between accepting and rejecting my offer. His bluffing trick was blown away by , and that made feel more content.
"Ok, the catch is the triggering conditions for the artifact to work."
He seed to be more hesitant to say anything more, as he paused after saying these simple words.
"And?" Gabri stressed on him to make him say more.
"The conditions are by sacrificing equipnt or coins you can get the desired demon to be imprisoned inside the artifact. If you want to make them loyal to you, then you will need to sacrifice more coins and equipnt."
His words matched my fears, but I wasn't satisfied by what he said. I pushed him further as I said:
"That's not enough, I want to know what are the exact conditions for the imprisonnt of demons and turning them into my soldiers. I want all the details, and don't hide anything. I tell you what, go and bring that artifact of yours here and let us all inspect it."
"No, I can't get it out without you confirming buying it," he hurriedly said, "this artifact is bound to player souls, so I can't move it from the vault without attaching it to your soul first."
Ok, that was a first to hear about such a thing in my life. I once heard about weapons and treasures being bound to persons by blood, but this was the first to hear about binding with the soul.
I squinted my eyes looking deeply towards that master, there was a trap here, I could already sll it. that man wasn't only sly, he was treacherous. I hated dealing with wicked dirty n like him.
"Hi, I have finished selecting the three treasures that you requested, and all the equipnt you offered for selling were bought by the hall and the compensation is ready for you.
Do you want to hear more or you want to take them all and leave?"
His voice was really irritating, however I didn't show any of my true emotions to him as I smiled back as I replied:
"I want to see them first before I leave here. Tell , how much did my equipnt sell for?"
