Cleanz (Orichalcum)
Thomas (Orichalcum)Just like what she had just said, Haru couldn't give her the teleportation coordinates. Because their factions were different, both sides did not trust each other, so this was an unsolvable proposition for the time being.
Even if he turned Cecilia and the others into his followers, he couldn't hand over his teleportation coordinates either. What if Cecilia was caught by a local Demigod or God and they used soul magic and got his teleportation coordinates?
Cecilia didn't know that she had just dodged becoming a believer. She said with some difficulty, "My Lord, the goods we carry in our caravan are either food or gold coins and there are not many Power Stones or Magic Crystals! If possible… I hope that I can bring the goods back to the empire and exchange them for circulating funds. Then, I can prepare Power Stones and Magic Crystals for you! As for the goods of our caravan, they can stay here as collateral!" As she spoke, she looked at Haru expectantly.
Haru shook his head and said, "Two hundred thousand Power Stones. According to what you said, it should be worth four million gold coins in your empire! Are the goods of your caravan so valuable?"
Cecilia felt a little embarrassed. The goods of her caravan were things that the beast tribes liked. The amount was large, but it wasn't expensive. In fact, it wasn't even worth a million gold coins. Cecilia said, "If that's the case, then we can only wait for me to bring the Power Stones before we make a deal with the Lord!"
Haru looked at her and asked, "What is your status at the Full Moon Chamber of Commerce?"
Cecilia replied truthfully, "My father is the president of the Full Moon Incense Chamber of Commerce. He's a demigod!"
When she spoke of her father being a Demigod, her tone was somewhat proud. Haru was not surprised. It was unknown how many True Gods there were in the Endless Continent. It was normal for the president of a fairly large Chamber of Commerce to be a Demigod.
Haru turned to Sylvana and said, "Is there any way to ensure that Miss Cecilia won't take my things for herself, such as restrictions?"
"My Lord!" Cecilia screamed in fright. The old mage and the Knight also looked terrified.
Sylvana smiled and said, "Lord Almighty, I can place a magic spell in Miss Cecilia's soul that will not harm her under normal circumstances. But if what you said happens… the magic spell will directly destroy her soul!" As she spoke, her gaze fell on Cecilia's pale face and continued, "This is the magic of my Nature Elf clan, even if Lady Cecilia's father is a Demigod, he can't undo it unless she can get the help of a natural Elf of the same rank as me!"
"That's good!" Haru nodded slightly.
Cecilia screamed in horror: "My Lord, please, believe me, I will never take your things privately. No, no, no, I don't want these goods, when I bring the Power Stones, we will trade again…"
Haru asked, "What if you don't come?"
Cecilia dared not say no, "The truth is here. I promise you that I will come back!"
"Mere words can't sway my decision!" Haru glanced at Sylvana.
Sylvana immediately understood. She ignored Cecilia's plea for mercy and suppressed the old Mage and the Knight. She set up a magical spell deep in their souls.
"Lord Almighty, it's done!" Sylvana smiled sweetly toward Haru and added, "If someone breaks the magic spell I set up without my permission, the spell will likewise explode on its own, obliterating their souls."
Haru nodded. Cecilia and the other two had pale green faces. They could clearly sense that something had appeared in their souls. That was a magic spell! It contained terrifying Demigod Law power! It was over! The three of them felt hopeless. In fact, they didn't even feel any happiness while leaving the noble courtyard. They only felt as if they were completely muddleheaded. The scene was too tragic.
…
With Haru's single thought, the teleportation array at the core of his castle immediately appeared outside the courtyard. As the Castle Lord, he could move the location of the castle buildings at will. Of course, he could only move them within his direct territory.
Haru looked at the dazed Cecilia. Smiling, he said, "Beautiful lady, I'm very much looking forward to our next meeting! By the way, millions of gems may appear inside my castle at that time, so you can bring more Power Stones and Magic Crystals over!"
"Alright…" Cecilia instantly woke up. She didn't dare to spare Haru and Sylvana another glance. The old Mage, the Knight and her caravan entered the teleportation array. Soon, Haru saw her take out a palm-sized tablet that looked like white jade. There were many magical runes engraved on the tablet.
'That should be a teleportation talisman! With it, I can teleport to a city of the Light Empire even without teleportation coordinates! However, the worst part is that once I borrow someone else's teleportation talisman, I'll be caught on the spot and the aura of another world on me is also a problem! It would appear that I can only think of a way in the future.'
As for attacking the Light Empire, Haru was not anxious. There was no doubt that if he took the initiative to start a war with the Light Empire now and stormed his way into the other side's territory with the help of the teleportation array, he would definitely be killed in seconds.
For the current castle forces, the local empires in the central region were a terrifying force that could not be provoked. If he didn't have any multiple God Tier subordinates under him, he wouldn't even be qualified to stand in front of the empires.
…
Cecilia tapped a few times on the white jade-like talisman. Immediately, the teleportation portal shone with dazzling light, enveloping her and her caravan. When the light disappeared, Cecilia and her caravan were teleported away.
