"Pretty much. In the future, any trade conducted through my routes by the commerce guild will give me a five percent profit share. Lying down to collect money? I guess I could just sprawl out and still receive Crystal Stones," Diakos said with a chuckle.

"How long can you collect for? Do you get a five percent cut every time there's a transaction? Are others willing to keep giving? If they end up bypassing the guild and trading privately, won't you end up with nothing?" Negris asked.

Diakos rubbed his hands together and said, "The president said he'll guarantee my share in the early stages. For at least ten years, I can collect trade route taxes. If after ten years I still can't control the routes, then I'm just a fool and he'll leave me be."
