Louis Simi gave a wry smile and shook his head, saying, "Bloody Glory is an ancient yet extrely niche Supernatural Power, and not many choose this path. I found two people, one of whom was not at all interested in my offer. The other gentleman wants to buy back another bloodsucking weapon he owns, but his asking price is too high for to accept."
Charles, of course, knew how niche Bloody Glory was. At Sheffield University, he was the only person in his year to choose this path, and if you count three years back, it was still only him.
He beca sowhat interested, and Bloody Glory converged, flowing into the bloodsucking weapon.
Louis Simi's eyes lit up slightly, seeing that Charles was interested in the bloodsucking weapon, and he guessed the young man's Transcendent path, feeling quite expectant on the inside.
The black iron ring was not repelled by Charles's Bloody Glory, but it was also not as insatiably thirsty as the Vampiric Hand Axe. It silently devoured a certain amount of Bloody Glory, emitted a faint buzzing, and in Charles's hand, it blood with a blood light, transforming into a golden spear over two ters long.
The spear was engraved with countless patterns and there seed to be Blood Fla flowing within, exuding an extraordinary aura.
Louis Simi showed a surprised expression and exclaid, "A Shalunshi spear!"
"It's actually an Extraordinary Weapon from the Shalunshi Arthur family."
Charles was also surprised. He did not recognize the family crest of the Shalunshi family and had never heard of the great reputation of the Shalunshi spear, but he knew of the family renowned for crafting Magic Weapons and that each changeable Magic Weapon was of exceptional quality and especially pricey.
Few people could handle bloodsucking weapons, leading to the Blood Clan's Extraordinary Objects being priced much lower than ordinary Magic Weapons, but these top-quality, shape-shifting weapons could fetch higher prices than Magic Weapons of the sa quality.
This was determined by market supply and demand.
Business principles?
He couldn't explain it clearly at the mont.
After so hesitation, Louis Simi said, "Mister cklen, you really have given a wonderful surprise. I have a difficult matter now and would like to negotiate with you."
"The Shalunshi spear is a top-tier secret treasure. If I auction it hastily, I cannot get a proper price, so I plan to wait for a top-tier auction next year before sending it for auction."
"This ans you'll have to wait quite a while."
"I am willing to pay an advance, which may cause you a slight loss, but you would receive compensation today. I am not forcing you—if you are willing to wait, I will also honor my promise."
Charles deliberately pondered for a mont, then smiled and said, "I wish you, Mister Louis, unprecedented success at that top-tier auction. I don't want to wait that long."
Charles did not think waiting for next year's auction was a good idea.
Louis Simi was a businessman, and profit determined his stance. Once he returned to Strasbourg and learned that Charles klen was an empire's wanted criminal, he would certainly not pay a single Gold Coin.
Receiving an amount of money for nothing was a good deal no matter how you looked at it.
Louis Simi was overjoyed. He picked out a Rapier from his rchandise and said, "I am willing to give this Extraordinary Weapon to Mister cklen along with an additional paynt of two hundred Aegeus."
"This Rapier is also a bloodsucking weapon, originating from the Asiluo Clan. Although the blade is slightly damaged, it is still worth over one hundred and fifty Aegeus."
"The Asiluo Clan is one of the Three Emperor Clans of the Blood Clan, ranked alongside the Arthur family, excelling in Martial Techniques and swordsmanship, the best among the thirty-seven Blood Clan families, and known for producing famous swords."
Louis Simi reversed the hilt and showed it to Charles. On the guard of the hilt was a special inscription, and he said, "This Blood Clan Extraordinary Weapon also has a very pleasant and elegant na—Blood Rose."
"You're a perfect match with this!"
Louis Simi showed the inscription on the hilt as clearly as possible, yet he didn't show the slightest intention of drawing the rapier.
Charles was startled, he knew the Shalunshi spear would certainly be expensive, but he hadn't thought it would be that costly!
Louis Simi had promised a thirty percent share of the pure profit, and he wanted to pay the reward in advance, so a thirty percent share of the profit would definitely be higher than a bloodsucking weapon plus two hundred Aegeus.
Bloodsucking weapons sell for a fraction of the price of ordinary extraordinary weapons. Louis Simi's quoted price of one hundred and fifty Aegeus probably had so margin, but it wouldn't be too much lower.
This ant that the Shalunshi spear could fetch a sky-high auction price of over twelve hundred Aegeus.
In terms of the Chinese yuan, this price equates to more than twenty million, enough to buy a sub-top-level luxury house in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou or Shenzhen, and in the Fars Empire, to buy a dium-sized manor.
Charles bead and said, "Louis, you really are an excellent businessman, it's so comfortable dealing with you."
He took the bloodsucking weapon, and rembered a short poem he had read in his past life: "A gentle thunder in one night weaves myriad threads, light after the rain flutters over tiles in uneven jade hues. The affectionate peony holds the tears of spring, while the powerless rose lies on branches at dawn."
The Blood Rose was not a famous sword.
At least, Charles didn't know its origin, nor did he intend to inquire about its history.
This bloodsucking rapier in his hands was destined to remain obscure.
Charles had no plans to achieve great things with it.
Louis Simi took out another purse and handed it to Charles, the purse heavy, obviously not filled with paper currency.
Charles took the purse, surprised that Louis Simi was paying in Aegeus gold coins instead of Fu Er banknotes.
It seed Louis Simi knew what he was wondering about, shrugged his shoulders and said, "I just went to Byron for business, where they don't accept Fu Er paper currency, only gold Aegeus and silver Fu Er, so I didn't bring any paper money and had to pay with gold Aegeus."
There were two denominations of Aegeus: one Aegeus and five Aegeus, which the People of Fars customarily called the "small Aegeus" and the "big Aegeus," and Louis Simi's paynt included coins of both denominations.
Charles pocketed the purse and also put away the bloodsucking rapier. This transaction seed to have brought them even closer together.
The five mbers of Giant Axe Adventure Group watched Charles and Louis Simi apparently make a deal, but they were a bit too far to catch the content of their conversation. They only saw Louis Simi not only giving Charles a rapier but also a purse of coins, clueless about what the two were actually doing.
Mason murmured, "Qian Nan doesn't seem like an ordinary person!"
All four team mbers nodded in agreent. Charles was far from ordinary; starting with his performance a mont ago, he was outstanding.
Hannah's eyes ward slightly, and she started having so ambitious thoughts.
White Wolf, after about fifteen minutes, ca out in fresh clothes. He glanced at the mbers of the Giant Axe Adventure Group and said to Charles, "Your companions are not suitable for the Demon Hunter. Even if you know Louis, I won't open this back door for you."
Charles didn't really care, but Mason felt especially disappointed; he had known the chances were slim before coming, but having his hope dashed by soone else still felt awful.
