He didn't understand much about talisman making and their materials.
"Yes, it's different." Riya looked at Samuel helplessly and then said, "The lower the materials used, the more mana you have to consu when making the talisman. Unranked magic beasts' blood is only slightly better than ordinary animals' blood, so I have to use more mana when making the talisman."
Samuel looked at Riya speechlessly.
Why did it seem that the price was upside down?
"So the higher the materials, the more you're wiling to make for the sa price?" Samuel asked.
"Yes."
"How about rank 2 magic beasts' blood?" Samuel asked.
Riya looked at Samuel with so suspicion. If she was not wrong, Samuel's family status in that world was really high, right?
If that was the case, he should have known that ordinary paper wouldn't be able to hold the higher ranked magic beasts' blood. If it was that easy for them to make talisman, there was no need for them to use specifically built talisman paper because they could just use ordinary paper.
Wait…
'Is he testing ?'
Riya's brain turned fast and felt that what she said does have a lot of loopholes. But now that the world was already in disrepair because of the earthquake that happened to the entire world, Riya didn't have that much worry anymore.
But even if she could guess that Samuel was testing her, Riya could just throw the pot to that inheritance thing.
She had beco more and more proficient in throwing the bla to that thing.
"Not possible unless you can give better paper," Riya replied calmly and looked straight in Samuel's eyes.
Samuel arched his eyebrows, looking at the young woman in front of him carefully. He felt that Riya could see his suspicions, but she still confront him directly.
Should he say that she was smart or stupid?
But no matter what, he knew that Riya's answer is correct. Unless he could provide a much better paper than the ordinary paper, there was basically no hope for them to use a rank 2 magic beasts' blood to make talisman.
Samuel nodded.
"The jade… you want to use it to make talisman?" Samuel suddenly asked.
If he was not wrong, there were so materials that could be used to make formation and jade seed to be one of them. When Samuel thought about this, he guessed that it should be possible for Riya to collect the jade to make formation and so on.
Rank 1 formation was not that strong, but it was not that weak either.
"Yes," Riya replied.
There was nothing to hide from this matter.
"How does jade compare to other materials in maintaining the mana?" Samuel asked.
Riya: "…"
Does she look like a researcher?
Riya knew that the jade could contain mana because she had seen the mana inside the jade themselves. But if soone asked her how it compare with other materials, Riya had to say that she didn't know.
She didn't have the interest to investigate it either.
Who in their right mind would think about researching the materials?
Seeing the look in Riya's eyes, Samuel coughed. He felt that it was not very good and then said, "How about if we made the agreent in terms of the jade's weight?"
"Ok."
So, after so discussion, the weight has been added and the two of them signed contract, one copy was kept by Riya. After it was done, Samuel handed over a stack of 500 A4 paper to Riya. There were many of these in his study room and giving one to Riya first would be nothing.
"The paper is too big," Riya said.
She could easily make talisman from a much smaller paper, so it was unnecessary to use an A4 paper.
"How big do you want it to be? I'll arrange for them to cut this first," Samuel asked.
"Well…" Riya thought for a mont and then said, "A6 size should be enough for most talisman."
It can even be smaller, but Riya was worried that they would lose the talisman if it was any smaller. A6 should be enough for most talisman and Riya didn't have to be so careful when making it.
After all, when Riya was using the jade, she had to carefully carve the runes in a small size.
But if it was a big paper like this…
She could just use a pointed brush.
"Ok. I'll give it to you after dinner." Samuel walked out and made arrangent to cut the paper to his subordinate.
Riya walked to the dining room and saw Alia and Sean quarreling with each other.
The reason?
"Give my cold talisman back!" Alia complained vehently, trying to snatch the cold talisman paper from Sean.
"Let borrow it... ahh."
Bletak!
Mr. Jones ca forward and hit the two children to stop them from fighting. "How old are you and you're still fighting like this. Give back your sister's cold talisman paper and don't play around."
"…Yes." Sean rubbed the back of his head and looked at his older sister with annoyed look. The cold talisman was really comfortable and Sean hoped that he could hold it for a longer ti.
Riya looked at this and felt rather helpless. "If you put the cold talisman in front of the air conditioner, the room temperature can be reduced…"
Before Riya finished speaking, Sean had already snatched the cold talisman paper once more and then ran to the air conditioner in the living room. He quickly stuck it in front of the air conditioner.
"Sean!" Alia complained and then looked at the talisman paper stuck above, feeling resentful because she couldn't reach it.
"Well, let us also enjoy the cold temperature," Sean quipped.
Alia rolled her sleeve and then ran after her younger brother once more. She felt that these two brothers of hers were not good. Her friends in the dormitory were far better than them!
Bang! Bang!
Mr. Jones watched the two children chased after each other and then tripped on the chair. He sighed deeply.
They never knew how to be quiet.
