583 Securing The Deal
[Better not to do it, or else I’d look for other impacts to answer my calls]
[Damn you! Since when was a human this hard to deal with?!]
[Anyway, let’s finalise the deal] I ignored her remark, [Send the boys over. Also I’ll send you a list of materials I need]
[Hopefully you won’t ask for dragon essence or something like that!]
[How did you know?]
[Damn! Are you really trying to get such a legendary thing? Not a single impact out there can get it!]
[Hahaha! Was joking, joking, hahaha!] I was laughing. After all this girl took the bait and fell for it. What was that dragon essence material anyway?
[Be at ease! The materials I’m asking for is a large list of materials, with another list of replacements if they aren’t available]-.
[Fine! But you have to deliver potions once you got them]
[I will, once I make enough for me to use. Send the contract over and let’s finish this deal]
She sent the contract and I read it closely. They didn’t change anything, and so I ended up signing. [Send the boys now. I need them to make the potions]
[Right away]
The next moment, a portal opened and a group of two hundred old looking men appeared from it.
“Come on board,” I lowered my chariot to let them get up. As they stood in front of me, I summoned one Gollam, and sat on its thick arm.
“So… You are the experts I paid lots of price to get…” I spoke in such a high tone while moving my eyes over them, “who is the highest grade here? Introduce yourself.”
A group of fifteen or so came forward and introduced themselves. Ten alchemists and five blacksmiths, all were grandmaster rank, the rank I needed.
I looked up at them and selected two, one from each profession, to become the acting leader of the entire two hundred here.
“Ok, I’ll drop you over to someone who will brief you with what you will do from now on,” I looked at the one hundred alchemists as I controlled my chariot towards my capital.
“What about us, lord?” the leader of the blacksmith spoke, as he noticed as the rest that I only spoke with the alchemists.
“You will go somewhere else with me,” I had other plans for these blacksmiths. Leaving them here would be a waste. It was better to just drop them to my second Earth, get to use the time difference for their benefit.
“Where is Lily?” Once I entered the air space of my capital, I stopped one of the dragon rider girls and asked her for that. She went to search for Lily and came back in less than a few minutes and led me there.
“Here is what I promised,” I pointed at the one hundred group of alchemists who stood in front of her. Lily returned again to the training fields, but she took a side where the place was empty and open to the outer world.
“This…” she looked at the large number of alchemists before laughing. She was leading a group of over a hundred Hector, seemingly planning and preparing for the next move. “Are they really alchemists?”
“This is the first batch,” I said, while noticing the weird look over the alchemists’ faces when I said that, “others will come but later on. Work with them for now.”
I was standing over my chariot, speaking in such a loud tone, making everyone here hear me.
“Fine,” she had nothing else to say, “what about materials?”
“I’m working on it,” I said, “start building the altars and let them get familiar with what you have to do here.”
“Got it.”
I moved my chariot back to the outer zone. At the same time, I let the blacksmiths stay on board for now, doing nothing else but sightseeing.
As for me, I went downstairs and started checking the papers that got the materials needed. I opened a chat with the lady and started to send her the list of materials I needed.
[The last is the horn of wild boating goats. If you don’t have it, then you can just find the horns of lecksetre monsters or the horns of the black spirnets. Any of these works. As for the amount, anything you got I’ll take, no matter what]
[Damn! This… Are you trying to rob my impact’s warehouse or what?]
[Can you deliver or not?] I didn’t want her to return to her old nature of bargaining with me. I wanted to just get this deal done.
[I can, of course it’s doable. Let me run a check and get back to you with the price tag]
[Sure]
I returned to the surface. I could get to her even when I was on the second Earth. So I didn’t plan on standing here for any longer.
But before going to the second Earth, I ran a fast check with my teams out there. There was nothing new. Alex and Leo were trailing the big forces and still not knowing where they were going.
As for the other teams, they just didn’t get far enough to reach the places of the tunnels. I had to wait for at least five hours before I’d get an answer from these teams.
So, I opened a portal and turned to look at my blacksmiths.
“Be ready, here we go to the place you will live the rest of your lives at.”
I already signed contracts with them and the alchemists. So I wasn’t worried about them working against me. As for telling the lady about the other world, she already got the news from the wood experts she sent over before.
But the new world I went into looked much different than before!
First the size of the empty zone here got enlarged by three folds at least! That was pretty insane, but the more insane thing was the changes that happened in the central part of this region.
