I Understand Why People Hated Rome Chp 16

PERCY POV

(Why are we still here? Just to suffer?) I thought to myself in self-depreciation as I saw the New Rome Senate scream at me to give them the golden eagle

Lupa pretty much told me to fuck off after she gave me directions to New Rome and Circe stayed in the San Francisco doing whatever with a lot of cash that I gave her to spend

"THAT BELONGS TO US," Useless number 1

"A SON OF NEPTUNE HAS NO RIGHT TO HOLD IT," Useless number 2

"LET'S JUST KILL HIM AND TAKE THE EAGLE BACK," Useless number 3

This has been going on for over an hour and they haven't even heard my proposal

"ENOUGH," Yelled out one of the current Preators

Martha Valerious a daughter of Mars/Ares

She has dark brown hair and looks like she is hitting the gym with a passion as I can see some of the veins in her arms popping through her skin

"Now, that we are all calm, we can begin this session, NOW," said the other one

Steven Straxious a son of Ceres/Demeter

"I believe Mr. Jackson had a proposal that he wanted to make in exchange for his..." He frowned as he most likely remember that I called it my spoil of war

"Spoil for what he said were agreeable terms," He finally said

If anything at least I practiced my meditation

Oh, who am I kidding, any longer and I would have blasted New Rome from the map

"Ok, so as I wanted to say. I will return the Golden Eagle in exchange for a few things," I said while standing up

"First up your college, I want you to take in my mother who is a clear-sighted mortal with all expenses paid alongside lessons in whatever she wants including Latin. Second, this senate swears that they will not allow any harm to come to her and defend her with their lives." I said my first two requests or demands as I can see most of them being rather confused while some nodded their heads in respect

I am Percy Jackson

I have accepted

Sort of

Sally Jackson is my mother

Jessica Overton is also my mother

I didn't take over Percy we were merged or rather fused

Sally Jackson is my mother

"Third, I will need a child of an agriculture goddess, I am not picky to help with this," I say while going to my home base and bringing in a small golden tree that has yet to mature

Many of them stand up as they realize what I have in my hands

It is something that I purchased on the Mini Shop

A tree that makes leaves of imperial gold

There is a ton of these in there that I got cheap as a daily special with multiple seeds on them

Granted, there were only five seeds for different metals

Imperial Gold, Celestial Bronze, Stygian Iron, Adamantine(PJO version), and Othrytic Silver

(N/A: Read Titan of the hunt on fanfiction its a rather fun read)

Truthfully, it was a steal really

Each of them costs 1,000 store credits

I got them all for 2,500 instead of 5,000

That was a complete steal

Before the realization of it, all hit me

These five metals were the prime materials of the gods of Olympus and they were incredibly cheap

They have quite a few nerfs on the growing time but nothing that truly takes anything away as I still get the metals easily

Most of them essentially work like common trees. Plant them, water them, add fertilizer, wait some time, and be done.

Except that it takes them time to mature and only the leaves are made of the metal with small exceptions of course.

But, Imperial Gold is not a natural magical metal like the others, so this one takes even longer to mature. This is why I want someone to help speed the process up a bit

I don't have their natural ability to have what is called a green thumb

Also, the upgrades to the Greenhouse function are expensive as it is powerful

The metals that surprised me a lot were Adamantine and Othrytic Silver

Adamantine from what I read in the description is that even the gods have an incredibly small amount of metal to the point of them holding it in higher regard and favor as it is incredibly magically intuned and it can channel divine energies even better than Celestial Bronze.

But, it is much more difficult to forge with and as there is only so much metal available to them barely anything has been made from it.

If they were to have their symbols of power forged from it. They would have had an easier time when fighting enemies.

Othrytic Silver was a surprise but a welcome one

(N/A: Read Titan Of The Hunt its an amazing read)

It's the silver equivalent of Stygian Iron with a few benefits there is no other way around saying it. After, the Titanomachy the Olympians decided to try and destroy everything related to them.

They threw the mine, somehow into the void beneath Tartarus.

For some reason

The benefits are that the metal can be touched by anyone and I mean anyone. Demigods, normal humans, and of course immortals. Thankfully, it is just as easy to craft with as Celestial Bronze.

I did remember to check the possible enchant levels and I am pleasantly surprised at them.

Pure Celestial Bronze can hold a total number of 5 level 6 enchants or 25 level 5 or below enchants

Pure Imperial Gold can hold a total number of 5 level 4 enchants or 15 level 2 enchants

Pure Stygian Iron and Pure Othrytic Silver can hold 5 level 6 enchants or 25 level 5 enchants

Adamantine on the other hand can hold 5 level 8 enchants or 35 of the previous level

(N/A: There is an enchant level list in the auxiliary chapter. Keep in mind that it is subject to change)

I am in love with the enchanting store

Thankfully, it is just as it would be in a game

I have five slots that are currently filled in order to be researched and the store can learn from them.

Currently in the slots are the Master Bolt, Riptide, Golden Fleece, Light and Dark Medallions

The Master Bolt will take the longest due to its numerous properties and enchantments on it. It will take around 8 months in order for it to be researched or I can at the cost of there being a chance of it being destroyed learn the enchants in 3 months.

Riptide will take 2 months or three weeks with the chance of the item being destroyed

Golden Fleece will take a year or 5 months with the chance of it being destroyed

The Light and Dark medallions each take 4 months or 5 weeks

As they get closer I present the small tree in my hands

"As you can see this tree is making Imperial Gold. If there is a Child of Ceres available to take care of it until it matures. I will take 15% of the Imperial Gold while the rest will go to New Rome to do as they see fit," I say trying to be as charismatic as possible

"Incredible," I hear someone say while they all stare at the tree like it is their salvation

"My last request is simple. I want every single piece of information that is available on monsters and gods that you have available," I said while they think that everything I have benefited them when in reality, I don't need the Golden Eagle or the Imperial Gold at all.

The Master Bolt is much better

Also, I can just buy another seed for Imperial Gold

Plus, the enchants on the Golden Eagle have already been researched

The second reason I am here is to become friends with Jason Grace in order to get his template or his natural affinities, I guess they would be called.

"We agree to your terms," Said one of the Preators

I wanted to sigh in relief due to this being nearly over

I hate politics
