The tables and chairs in the hall instantly disappeared. Soon after, dozens of large metal boxes appeared out of thin air and piled up in the hall. Cecilia took a deep breath and opened them one by one. Every time she opened it, the feeling of joy on her face grew stronger.
In the end, her entire face was like a brilliant flower. Her excitement could not be concealed. The old Mage and Knight behind her were also delighted. This Lord's inventory was beyond their imagination. Once these goods were brought back to the Light Empire, their Chamber of Commerce would be able to make a lot of money.
"Wait! those antiques… they look a bit like the batch that was lost from the Seymour Chamber of Commerce a few years ago!"
"It's not just 'similar', it is indeed that same batch!"
"What do you mean?"
"There's also the symbol of the Seymour Chamber of Commerce here!"
The old Mage and the Saint Tier Knight hurriedly checked the other goods. Gold coins, silver coins, gold and silver weapons, those ornaments… It seemed like they all came from the Light Empire!
They seemed to have thought of something, and their expressions became strange. Cecilia's eyes were fixed on the resplendent gems in the large boxes. She said excitedly, "Lord, we want this batch of goods!"
"Then…" Haru lightly smiled and said, "How many Power Stones are you going to take out to make this deal with me?"
Cecilia took a deep breath and said, "Lord, I need to make a careful count and calculate a price!"
"Go ahead!" Haru nodded slightly.
…
With Haru's permission, Cecilia brought in a few other members of their caravan to count the goods. Due to the large quantity and variety, not only were there various types of gems with different values but there were also a large number of ornaments, artworks, gold and silver items whose value needed to be estimated. Therefore, it took a long time. By afternoon, the entire inventory was finished.
"It's finally done!" Cecilia wiped the sweat off her forehead. After tidying up the goods, she stood up and said to Haru, "Dear Lord, those gems… certain ornaments… antique art… due to poor preservation… damage…"
She pointed out many problems with the goods but when she realized that Haru was looking at her with a faint smile, she immediately shut her mouth. Alright, this was the usual tactic of a businessman. She exaggerated the shortcomings of the goods and then suppressed the value of the goods and tried to purchase them at a lower price.
This was what merchants like them did. After all, it was too difficult for them to complete a business. She had to expand her profit margin or else she wouldn't be able to make much money but it was obvious that this would not work with Haru.
Cecilia tentatively quoted a price and said, "My Lord, our Full Moon Chamber of Commerce is willing to buy this batch of your goods for 130,000 Power Stones!"
Haru said indifferently, "Too low!"
"My Lord this is an extremely fair price!" Cecilia hurriedly said with a bitter smile, "After all, our caravan has to risk great danger, crossing 200,000 kilometers of wilderness no-man's-land, in order to reach the Dark Forest… the risks involved, I hope you can understand!"
The danger was great. They naturally wanted to lower the purchase price and earn even more profits. Otherwise, there was no need for their caravan to take risks. If she stayed in the Light Empire, she would also have a way to make money.
Haru understood this point. However, to do business, one had to bargain, else one would suffer a loss. Haru said indifferently, "I don't know much about your Light Empire's business circle and I'm not sure how much this shipment is actually worth. I just need you to give me a fair purchase price!"
Before Cecilia could say anything, Haru pointed at Sylvana and continued, "This Elf who imprisoned you is Sylvana. She's a Demigod. She can sense your spiritual awareness. You know what this means, right? Don't try to trick me. That will keep your caravan from leaving this courtyard!"
Cecilia immediately took two steps back. The Old Mage and the Saint Tier Knight behind her turned green with fear. A Demigod? When did a Demigod appear in the Dark Forest? The two Saints exchanged glances. No wonder they were powerless against Sylvana's suppression and imprisonment.
Wasn't it just like drinking water for a Demigod to suppress two Saints? Cecilia was about to cry. Seeing the beautiful Elf staring at her, she almost fainted. She was just a mere King Tier warrior. How could she withstand the gaze of a Demigod?
However, the Old Mage and Knight did not dare to speak because they were afraid of being killed by the Demigod Elf. In the end, Cecilia said in a trembling voice, "My Lord, I'm willing to pay 180,000 Power Stones for this batch of goods. Are you satisfied?"
Sylvana was silent for a moment, then turned her head and nodded slightly at Haru. This indicated that the price was very fair. Haru did not say anything else. The purchase price rose from 130,000 Power Stones to 180,000. Of course, he was satisfied!
Sure enough, without enough power, even small businesses would try to scam him. At this moment, a thought flashed through Haru's mind. Smiling, he said, "I don't think you guys have that many Power Stones with you, right? It just so happens that there is a Space Teleportation Magic Array inside my castle that can teleport you directly to the territory of the Light Empire. This way, you don't have to risk crossing the uninhabited wilderness! So, give me your teleportation coordinates!"
This was what Haru suddenly thought of. With the teleportation coordinates, he could enter the local territory of the Light Empire at any time. In the future, no matter if it was just visiting or attacking the Light Empire, it would be extremely convenient and fast.
As long as his own teleportation coordinates weren't leaked, the enemy could not enter uninvited. It was equivalent to one-way teleportation. He didn't have to worry about the enemy using the teleportation array to attack the core of his castle.
"Your castle actually has a teleportation array?" Hearing Haru's words, Cecilia was overjoyed.
