Chapter 482: A Unique Guarantee!

After hearing the answer, Loren, sitting on the leaf throne, slightly raised his head and gave a teasing look at the female elf who had taken the initiative to come to him.

Is this the reason the Elven Race chose to reappear in the Star Realm?

Interesting......

Having reached that conclusion in his mind, Loren, still seated on the leaf throne, stretched out a hand and began to lightly tap the wooden desk with his fingers, feigning deep thought.

Within the spacious shop, the sound of his fingertips striking the raw wood desk echoed, again and again, with a steady rhythm.

Lucien, the pure-blooded elf, felt her mood subtly tense in time with Loren’s tapping.

She watched Loren’s serious, contemplative expression, and a flicker of shock passed through her eyes.

Hm?! Could it be......

I actually found something of value......

Originally she had only intended to get closer to this fellow of her race and to do him a favor for his business; she never expected someone could truly prophesy at this level.

After all, events that involve the Abyss, the Land of the Gods, the Federation, and the Empire at the same time have always been taboo territory for various prophecy techniques.

Even god-level forces feel helpless when facing events of this magnitude.

There are simply too many god-level existences involved......

But watching Loren’s serious thinking, her long-dormant extraordinary intuition vaguely told her that this fellow elf was not joking!

It seems this elf of mine may possess prophetic skill beyond anyone’s imagination......

Wait!

The one capable of performing this prophecy... could they really be of the Elven Race?!

After her shock, Lucien finally began to realize the thing she had been subconsciously ignoring.

Logically speaking, I should not so hastily assume this person is a pure-blooded elf......

This is completely out of character for me!

So, have I been influenced by some unknown something......

Lucien silently looked toward the “elf kin” who was thinking intently, and a thin bead of cold sweat unconsciously appeared on her forehead.

Damn it!

What kind of existence am I facing right now?!

An unknown god capable of quietly influencing my mind......

......

After Miss Silver Dragon, the second person to discover Loren’s oddness had appeared!

Realizing that Loren could affect her mind, Lucien quickly tightened her flustered thoughts and pretended she had noticed nothing!

If the other wants to play this “pretend pure-blood elf” game with me, then......

Having sensed the oddness about Loren, Lucien, from her limited personal perspective, silently made a carefully considered decision.

In the Endless Star Realm, there’s an unwritten rule. When an unknown powerful figure wants to play a game with you, and during the game they show no hostile intent toward you, then for your own safety, you’d better pretend you enjoy the game......

......

While Lucien, the female elf who had come to Loren, was scaring herself in her head, Loren, who had been seriously considering the fee, finally stopped tapping the desk.

He looked at the female elf before him, who had inexplicably grown a bit more “obedient,” shrugged, and spoke softly:

“This matter involves a lot.”

“Six million Spirit Stones is not enough.”

Hearing Loren’s words, Lucien—still pretending she had noticed nothing—brought a perfectly natural smile back to her face, just as at the beginning.

“My dear kin, you can be bolder with your price~”

“If the prophecy is accurate, a reasonable price will be acceptable.”

“I have saved up these years......”

Lucien spoke in an even tone.

As a pure-blooded elf who inherited part of the Elf Empire’s legacy, she might lack many things, but she certainly did not lack Spirit Stones.

She only wanted to finish this “pretend kin” game, then quickly leave the spiritual world!

Never come back to this world again!!!

At the same time,

to strengthen her belief that she could leave safely, this outwardly calm female elf was internally frantically pumping herself up:

I will make the Elven Race great again!

I will make you all able to live openly and honorably in the Star Realm, like in the past!

My ideal has not yet been fulfilled!

I absolutely cannot fall into the hands of some unknown existence!

I must leave safely!

I absolutely cannot perish in a place like this!

......

Seeing his price request so easily accepted, Loren’s face lit with an extremely gentle smile.

He liked clients who respected his value; they were as endearing as those obedient demons.

“Ms. Lucien, 36 million Spirit Stones.” Loren’s tone was formal.

“One accurate answer, and most of the prophecy’s details.”

Faced with Loren’s precise quote, Lucien’s expression finally no longer looked natural.

She began to suspect that this unknown big shot was playing this “pretend kin” game with her for the Elf Empire’s inheritance!!!

“Could it be a little cheaper? Mr. Destiny.” Lucien’s voice softened.

“I just thought about it, and actually, my savings aren’t that much......”

At her words, Loren, sitting upright on the leaf throne, smiled and straightened.

He looked up at the female elf, whose face had turned a bit bitter, and said softly:

“No.”

“Ms. Lucien, please respect the value of my work.”

Raven, did you know......

I met a big fat sheep, but I feel my price was too low!

This one would even consider paying 36 million Spirit Stones for a single prophecy, instead of simply refusing!!

......

Federal Calendar 7709, January 15th, nightfall.

A peculiar spiritual world.

In the shareholder town at the center of that world, in the shop Loren had snapped up.

A wincing Lucien used their mutual Illusion Dream Rings to directly transfer a staggering 36 million Spirit Stones to Loren.

Having received the huge sum, Loren smiled and invited her to sit on the sofa that had just appeared in his shop.

Jasmine, who had finished furnishing all the shop’s details, finally began arranging the large furniture.

Realizing that her friend—the pure-blooded elf Lucien—had been standing since she entered, the little sprite who held most of the spiritual world’s permissions manifested a soft sofa.

The cloud-shaped sofa was dotted with animal patterns—squirrels, butterflies, and other cute motifs.

After manifesting the guest sofa, Jasmine happily flew off again.

She was going to design a forest-style bar counter for the shop.

As the actual manager of Illusionary Night’s Dream tavern, she had trained the bartenders across the Star Realm’s various branches.

Mixology was one of the hobbies left to her by her former master.

During the years the tavern hadn’t yet been founded and she had been trapped alone in the spiritual world, sampling the many spirits her former master left her had been her daily pastime.

Fortunately, as a peculiar sprite born from the spiritual world, she had not developed an alcohol addiction.

She simply liked the pretty colors of the spirits and the dizzy, tipsy feeling they produced.

Getting drunk helped her forget loneliness effectively.

......

After Jasmine flew off cheerfully once more, Loren happily sat back down on the leaf throne behind his wooden desk.

At this moment, his Illusion Dream Ring quietly held a total of seventy million, forty-two thousand Spirit Stones!!!

Loren had entered an unprecedented rich state!

Seated on the leaf throne, he looked at the slender figure on the sofa and wore a composed smile.

“Ms. Lucien, relax a little.”

“A prophecy at this price will not disappoint you.”

“I guarantee it.”

With those words, Loren solemnly activated his Ninth Ability!

Guidance of Fate descended once more today!

A series of golden virtual scenes slowly emerged before Loren’s eyes.

Loren fixated his gaze and watched......
