------------------
Cecilia was pleasantly surprised. She really had not expected that there was a Space Teleportation Magic Array inside this castle. Even in the Light Empire, only large and medium-sized cities had teleportation arrays. There weren't any teleportation arrays in some small cities, towns or even the territories of many nobles.
This was because building a teleportation array was not an easy task. It required a large amount of precious materials, as well as an extremely professional space element mage to set up and engrave magical runes. Also, the daily maintenance of the teleportation array was a considerable expense. Therefore, only large and medium-sized cities would build them.
"Awesome!" Cecilia's smile was very bright. With the help of Angel Castle's teleportation array, they could directly teleport back to Havenloch City. There was no need to cross the 200,000 kilometers of wilderness. This could help them save a lot of time but at this moment, Cecilia's expression suddenly changed.
She looked at Haru strangely because she was very sure that Haru had asked her for the coordinates of the teleportation array in preparation for future wars.
Why? Because Haru was a Castle Lord from another world! All of the intelligent creatures of the Endless Continent knew that the Castle Lords of another world were their enemy. Sooner or later, there would be a war between them.
As a merchant, she could make some normal deals with Haru. However, if a war started, she would not hesitate to stand on the Empire's side. At the same time, Cecilia heaved a sigh of relief in her heart. The reason was very simple: she didn't have the coordinates of the empire's teleportation arrays.
This would prevent her from betraying the Light Empire when faced with a fatal threat. Cecilia said, "I'm sorry My Lord, the teleportation coordinates are the strategic core of the Empire and we merchants are not qualified, nor do we have the guts to have them."
Haru narrowed his eyes. He suspected that Cecilia was trying to trick him. However, he could sense that Cecilia's spiritual fluctuations were normal when she said this. Sylvana, who was beside him, also told him via voice transmission that Cecilia did not lie.
Haru asked indifferently, "Without the coordinates, how can you teleport?"
Cecilia hurriedly said, "My Lord, you don't have to worry about this. Our merchant guild has a Teleportation Scroll, which was issued by the Empire. With the help of a teleportation array and a Teleportation Scroll, we can teleport to the designated city!"
Cecilia smiled and said, "The Teleportation Scroll can greatly ensure that enemy forces could not obtain the teleportation coordinates and ensure the safety of the empire!"
Indeed, this was the thought of a genius. It could prevent the coordinates from leaking and prevent the enemy from directly attacking through teleportation arrays.
Haru immediately asked, "Would you sell the Teleportation Scroll?"
Cecilia shook her head. "I'm sorry, My Lord! Only imperial citizens have the right to apply for Teleportation Scrolls. Moreover, imperial citizens who have Teleportation Scrolls are supervised by the Teleportation Department. These scrolls cannot be given away!"
"If a scroll does not match the person to whom it was issued then whether it's the original owner of the Scroll or the person who used it, they will both be captured and interrogated by the Imperial Court!" Her meaning was very clear. For the safety of the Full Moon Chamber of Commerce, she could not give Haru her Teleportation Scroll because if Haru used it, both her and the Full Moon Chamber of Commerce behind her would be in great trouble.
Cecilia saw the frown on Haru's face and hurriedly said, "I believe the Lord will not hand over your castle's teleportation coordinates to us, right?"
This was hoping that Haru would switch positions while thinking. As for Haru, it was indeed impossible for him to give her teleportation coordinates to a local intelligent creature. This was to prevent them from using teleportation arrays to attack his castle.
However, Haru was a little displeased, so he said, "This batch of goods is worth two hundred thousand Power Stones!"
Cecilia immediately gasped. Did he raise the price again? Haru explained, "The extra twenty thousand Power Stones is the cost of using my castle's teleportation array."
Cecilia smiled bitterly. For a mere 200,000 kilometers teleportation, there was no need for twenty thousand Power Stones. When converted into gold coins, it was a total of four hundred thousand imperial gold coins. It was simply too much! Even if they teleported from the Light Empire to the Ice and Snow Kingdom, they only needed to pay 5,000 Power Stones, which were 100,000 gold coins.
Of course, she knew very well why Haru did this. Cecilia couldn't refuse either, unless she wanted to take her caravan to cross the 200,000 kilometer-long wilderness once again, she could only accept it.
"Sure!" Cecilia nodded and added, "Dear Lord, can you open the permission for us, Full Moon Chamber of Commerce, to come and go to your castle's teleportation array? That way, we can come over to trade soon after we return."
If Haru did give them the permission, it would be convenient for her to return. It would only take a split second, but if she wanted to return to Angel Castle on foot, she would have to cross the wilderness again. Although it wasn't too dangerous, it took time and energy.
"What do you think?" Haru looked at her calmly.
Cecilia immediately revealed an awkward smile, 'All right, at least I tried.'
