“This is a very clean building. ”
It was Prince Prague's admiration as he walked up the stairs and looked around. I didn't listen. I feel like I'm being polite.
But you have to smile at times like this.
Always smiling is the best way to criticize your boss.
“Thank you. I was lucky enough to acquire a building just moments ago. By the way, it's your first time serving the Adeline family. ”
“Is that so?"
“I will remember this moment you visited today for a long time. ”
I meant it deliberately.
The meaning must have been communicated clearly. I had already been offered a donation in my company's name. It is an unwavering proposition for the public.
Prince Prague nods once and bursts into laughter.
“Hahaha. I feel like I've met a nobleman at an auction where I've cooled my head and visited. ”
“I really am. ”
“Don't you feel bad about the fountain pen winning at a cheap price? ”
Suddenly we arrived in my representative room. I smiled and opened the door first.
“Things have their own owners. I think I've returned to the right owner. ”
“I see.”
As expected, the Confucius is not very responsive. I was sure of this. In the beginning, the Confederate had no particular interest in the succession. I wonder what they're doing in that mansion.
The Confucian goes in first, and I hold the door hook and instruct my men.
“Eluna, prepare the palace's finest tea. And bring Calmond to my room as soon as the auction comes. ”
“I understand.”
The two men split up, and I followed Prince Prague inside.
“You've written a book before if you're going to write a research paper. ”
“Yes, I love reading. ”
The Confucian stood next to a filled bookshelf. As he slowly roams around, he reaches out and pulls out a book. And he asked me.
“You must like books, too. There are so many books. ”
“I can't live without a book. I tend to read what I see every time I have time. ”
“Are you going to do business? ”
“I'm thinking of items. from making books easier to making luxury papers that hold books longer. I have a lot of business in my head. ”
“Oh.”
I didn't seem interested. The Confucian squirms and puts the book back on the shelf.
“Sit down, Confucius. ”
“You, too.”
We soon sat across from each other on the couch. Luckily, the Confucian enjoyed the tea, tasting the scent for a while, to see if he liked the tea Eluna brought out.
“You're from the Academy, aren't you? ”
“No. Experiencing what I've seen and heard all over the continent. ”
“Interesting. Your father is very interested in using your invention. It seems your name is often spoken of in the mouths of the shamans. I hope you'll do a lot for our territory in the future. ”
“Are there any? ”
I smiled.
While we were discussing these rumors, I sent over a winning item from Novelis. The Holy Grail of Diablos is in my hands after all the payments have been made.
Maybe there's something there.
The moment I held the Holy Grail, I began to feel a slight ripple in my calm heart. Something in the Holy Grail must be reacting to my magic.
Over time, I have become increasingly skeptical of Prince Prague.
“It feels like the carved circumference around the Holy Grail is alive and flapping its wings. This is very good stuff. I feel like I could use a drink. ”
Touching the cup, I revealed my feelings. From the beginning until now, Prince Prague's gaze has been on Diablo's holy shrine, not mine.
I have illuminated my desire moderately. Just like a greedy man who poured 10,000 gold to enjoy his drink.
“By the way, didn't you say you wanted to ask for something? ”
As I get to the point, Prince Prague, who put down the cup of tea, sweeps his hands once and loses his luck.
“You said that before. Every item has its owner. ”
“Yes, it is. ”
“I think the owner of the item is me. ”
“Ah.”
It doesn't suit you to say that with those gorgeous eyes.
Of course, when others see it, they may think it is purely academic. But I can see through the stature of the Confederate.
That's why smoke doesn't work for me, even if it's S-rank.
This is definitely a necessity for necromancy. It's the key item to a blockage of consciousness.
I ducked in a hurry.
“I guess I bid too much and disobeyed. Forgive me.”
“No, it's a misunderstanding. It's not like that... ”
I slowly raised my head to look at the Confucius. Like, is that for real? The princess was smiling brightly.
“I want you to sell it to me. ”
“Are you saying you want to buy again? If it's for research purposes, I could lend it to you. ”
“No, I think I need to look at it for a while. ”
Prague approaches cautiously. I made an embarrassing face. I also saw stubbornness as a merchant.
“That's too bad. That would be very rude of you...... but I've spent an enormous amount of 10,000 gold on this item. ”
“I know that. So, let me give you a little bit of money. ”
“Hmm.”
“If I have it, my research will bear fruit. Many students and scholars will be influenced by my research. If you think investing in the future of our kingdom, would it be easier to make a choice? ”
I snorted inside pretending to be lost in thought. I'm sure you'll be very good at your research. Good thing you didn't summon any demons from the Wizards.
After much thought, I pretended to make a decision.
“If you don't mind, I'd like to hear the desired purchase price. ”
“15,000 gold. How about this? ”
“15,000 gold. Not a bad price. ”
I wiped my smile from my mouth. And he was completely possessed by the master of the Mathis Council.
“But it's not a good price either. I want more. ”
Indeed, the Prague Prince is a little confused.
“For 15,000 gold, I will add 5 more discounts to the amount you paid……. ”
“If I think about the things I have to give up, it's not that big a deal. Above all, our Chamber will sponsor you a certain amount each month. Maybe three or four months will cover the losses. ”
I have decided to pay Confucius Prague 1,200 gold a month. In other words, after four months, the loss will be filled. Of course, you might not think that because it's money you get from a public standpoint anyway.
“Hahaha. As expected, you're quite the master of the Chamber. I was amazed. You could say that. ”
A big smile grins his head. At least you have a conscience.
In fact, I don't know how much money he has. However, I was confident that it could be uploaded as it was important to me.
“But more than that, I'm afraid. It seems like a small amount. ”
“I see. Perhaps it's a big deal. Would it be okay to postpone the negotiations since I've been in the royal family?" I need time to think. ”
“You said you were leaving soon. Exactly how long do you live in the royal family? ”
“It's going to take me a few months. ”
A sigh came out of Prince Prague's mouth.
“You've been here a long time. Again, it's a bit tricky to wait. ”
I raised my cup with a vague look on my face. Now is the time to wait for the prince's choice.
“Great, great! Let's keep it clean for 20,000 gold! ”
You're so cheeky!
20,000 gold means 10,000 gold. At this rate, it's like selling a high-end fountain pen for money. That's what I thought at first.
“I can't do any more than that, so let's not negotiate anymore. ”
“Hah, this is... I can't refuse anymore because the Prince said so. If it wasn't for you, I would never have sold it. I never give up what I have once acquired. ”
“I'm grateful you believe me. ”
I was as green as I could be, and the Confucius responded.
As soon as the verbal agreement was signed, the official reached out and asked for a handshake. I wanted to check something out, but I grabbed his hand.
The status window was raised.
“I'll ask you if I need anything from now on. Can you get it for me? ”
What changed was not only the status message, but also the title that called me. I gently replied, gazing into the eyes of the princess, looking beyond the status window.
“I'm powerless, but I'm here to help if I can. ”
“That's a relief. Hahahaha. If my research sees the light later, I'll be happy to mention your name. ”
“It would be an honor for the family. ”
The status message of the Confucian was suddenly changed from "like" to "bond."
I felt uncomfortable somehow.
After the Holy Grail was traded for unknown acts, it was a bit strange that his status message had changed to ties.
The dictionary definition of unity is a common sense that seems to be connected.
What does Prince Prague have in common with me? I'm not interested in necromancy at all.
Maybe I'm being too sensitive.
But after sitting and earning 10,000 gold, I had to spend some time with Prague Confucius.
We spent time talking soulless to each other.
* * *
Confucius Prague kept his promise. On that very day, he sent a tremendous amount of 20,000 gold. Thanks to you, our warehouse is full of gold coins.
I was a little interested in something called "The Holy Grail of Diablos," but I already left my hand.
But I didn't regret it. As long as I have another identity called Dylan, I can get access to it if I want to.
Why would I think that?
I just wanted to check in on the strange feeling I felt when I held that cup.
In order to do that, we need to treat Mana more freely.
I decided to try to solve the problem in the royal province. As long as Sapiella is encouraged to enter the royal library, I will see what I can accomplish.
“I wonder what the limits are for the Master's eyes. How did you know that Prague needed it? ”
“Now I know how 10,000 gold feels to fall from the sky. ”
Eluna and Calmond each revealed their meetings. I smiled lightly.
“Well, it's just a feeling. ”
Of course, they shook their heads, saying they couldn't believe it. But that's not the point right now. I must now return and finish the royal journey.
“There's one more thing you need to do while I'm gone. Eluna first.”
“Yes.”
“Investigate the Delfino Merchant Guild. There must be a contact with the Alcaine Merchants Guild. Find out if they had anything to do with the infamous abduction. ”
“If you're the Delfino Merchant Guild, you're pointing the finger at the Earl of Astria. ”
I did not deny it. Next, I gave a very special order to Calmond.
“Regularly check in with Prague to find out what's going on and do some background checks. ”
“I'll do as I'm told. ”
Each of the two people who understood the words took an example. We're done here. I got up and left the building with them.
“I look forward to seeing you in good health again. ”
“Have a safe trip. I'll send you a text from time to time. ”
“Good work. Eat well. ”
And the next day, Arthurs and Arwen drove the wagon towards the royal city. With Sapiella's love.
