Chapter 68 The Unprecedented Offer!
Chapter 68 The Unprecedented Offer!
"Interesting, it is indeed a good offer. I can even say that this is the best offer I have ever received. I really want to accept it right away without thinking. But yet, why me?" Asked him with a mysterious smile.
"What do you mean by here?" Alice asked for him with confusion.
"I mean why do you want to include me in your alliance? If you had asked to leave Sabrina or Ashia with you I wouldn't be surprised. But you want me to work with all of you, why? I will be honest with you. I am only a simple mage who has not yet reached spiritual rank." He said, caressing his crimson crown above his head. His action was like a reminder to others.
"Ugh, a great-master grade mage who was able to instantly defeat six emperor mage at the same time?! What world do we live in?! In fact, you're super strong, aren't you?!" Lilias still had her childish behavior despite being the queen and the only ruler of fairies. She was not the only one to be surprised. The others had unbelieving looks. But Yury's thoughts were different from their own. She still remembered that she had checked Alvine's rank not even two months ago and he was only an advanced rank mage. So in less than two months, he managed to cross two ranks?! He was definitely a monster in his own right!
"We have one more reason for you allied with us. In fact, I really admired the innate strength of the Valskar who could easily take care of the mages of higher rank than their own. But compare to you, Fufufu, I wonder if I should not idolize you and make you my divinity to whom I should send my prayers. Not to mention that you can bring us more advantages according to the legends." Affirmed Cheera in a confident and convinced tone. She had become more relaxed to Alvine when he revealed his true lineage. At first, she had doubts about her
"Umm, it doesn't matter to me to be adored by such glamour. But in short, enough jokes. As I said, anyone will welcome your offer. Only... if it were proposed to someone other than me!" His joyful tone immediately became monotonous when he pronounced his last sentence.
"What do you mean by that?" She stuttered when she felt Alvine's change of expression.
"Well, you see, I don't need blacksmiths or alchemists because I already have two people in this field who are more competent than anyone else. Ashia also practices the profession of blacksmith, she can even forge high-quality celestial weapons, while in Nicco, she is an alchemist who can make potions up to the divine rank! Let's not even talk about artisans, Alice and Celestia can confirm Sabrina's advanced skills in this field. With such talents next to me, would I have a financing problem?! Not to mention that I am actually richer than all your kingdoms combined. But the funniest thing is your last proposal. Did you say that you went to help me face my enemies? Even if I haven't met them yet, I can easily guess that they are at least from divine ranks! So, what can you face with them?!" He replied without chewing his words. Even if Nicco or Ashia did not have such skills, he could still use his system to buy potions and weapons! But she not only had a personal shop in his head, but he also had the most competent maids in the world!
"Ugh, do you mean that your other servants have more advanced forging and alchemist skills than our best men?! Sigh, I admit that I'm lost there. I expected anything but that." She said in a discouraged tone. She expected that Alvine might not be interested in one or two offers, but she had never expected Alvine to be disinterested in all her offers.
"I have no interest in lying to you. Well, if you have nothing else to offer, you can just go home. We have nothing more to say to ourselves... Sabrina will escort you all to the exit." Just after saying this sentence, the crown placed on his head turned into a bloody orb and disappeared in his palm as if he had never been there.
"Lady Rina, it's settled." The fox girl that no one was paying attention to because of the pressure of the negotiations suddenly caught everyone's attention.
"Beautiful work Yuer, continue like this and you will soon be able to make a breakthrough." Complimented Sabrina in a satisfactory tone. The damage was no longer, the room had regained its dating luxury.
"Hehe, this is the first time you have complimented me. Don't worry, I don't intend to remain lazy. When I was meditating last night in my room, I could see some golden energies in my aura. I think I would be the first to reach a divine rank in the team!" She said enthusiastically. She said.
"Fufu, are you sure of yourself? I point out to you that it is because of divine tribulations that if it were not because of Lady Rina, I would have already made a breakthrough. Besides, lady Rina, you forbade us to make a breakthrough. So why does she have the right to do so?" This Nicco complains about Sabrina's injustice.
The others who listened to them speak to each other inadvertently did not know if they should laugh or cry. What kind of nonsense do these girls still say? Waiting for a breakthrough to the divine rank? Where is justice in this world? It's not a single person who can break through at any time but three?! Not to mention this strange girl who seemed to master the affinity of time! In what kind of world have we just landed? Alice's heart was bleeding at that moment! She had dedicated her whole life to would reaching the divine rank which is considered a legend.
She already had an Odin stone in her possession thanks to the Brisht Tower competition she won fifty years ago. But to succeed in opening a portal to the immortal kingdom, it was necessary to succeed in provoking divine tribulation that is caused only thanks to the will of heaven! Only those who are chosen by the will of heaven can succeed in taking this step. In any case, it was the information she knew about the tribulations.
"Sigh, this is not the time to talk about these futile things. We'll talk about it afterward." Sabrina replied briefly.
"In this case, if you are not interested in my offer, you can ask for anything in exchange for your help!" Exclaimed Alice. She had made her decision not to miss this unique opportunity available to her... no matter the consequences! If she can't coax them then she just had to find what they want. What was the best way than her approach?
Alvine, who was about to leave the room, stopped suddenly. Fortunately, he had his back turned, otherwise, Alice will regret her words just by seeing Alvine's mischievous smile! "Anything? You know, these words really have deep meanings. Are you sure your tongue hasn't stumbled in your mouth?" He asked without turning around. Seeing his actions, even Sabrina had a satisfying smile on the corner of her lips.
'I knew he had matured but I didn't expect its maturity to be so scary.' She says to herself while remaining retired.
'I knew it! He had a goal from the beginning. Why do I feel that if I insist too much on it, something unpleasant will happen? No matter, my decision is made, there is no more reversal.' Thought Alice.
"Sigh, even if humiliating, we must admit it anyway. To succeed in surviving, we really need allies like you on our side. Knowing the issues, we have no choice but to do everything in our power to recruit you. As long as it is in our power, we will do our best to fill our market share." Yury said by being at the end of the roll.
'As expected of our crown prince. He managed to dominate these arrogant sovereigns who are everyone's fear.' Celestia congratulated Alvine internally. Even if Sabrina's words had panicked her at the beginning, now that she knew that they were not their goals, she was immersed in her inner peace.
"Hmm, very good. So to begin with, please ask your men to wait for us outside. Sabrina, you can go with others too. I would like to have a face-to-face discussion with our dear guests of honor." While he was saying his words, he went to his chair and invited others to join him with a polite smile that he had never shown before.
"At your command, master. I would be behind the door. If something wrong happens, do not hesitate to summon us. Be careful with them. In their current situations, they can do anything to achieve their goals and achieve their goals." Yuer whispered in his ear. As Alvine had announced, the room that housed about twenty people suddenly found itself nostalgic with only nine people inside.
"Are you sure of your decision? You know, if you take such risks with your current position, all kinds of bad things can happen to you." Says Alice as she sat on her chair.
"Oh, that? I am sure that no such incidents will occur. Apart from your caution, you are not qualified to threaten my life. In short, what if we start our negotiations?" He said in a confident tone by caressing his crimson ring. Even though he knew that he had nothing to fear from them, he had not lowered his guard against them.
"Sigh, your excess of confidence can be fatal to you if you behave like this with everyone. That being said, we are listening to you, what are the conditions that will allow us to have you as an ally?" She asked in turn without making a detour.
"Hmm, my conditions? To begin with, I will list the benefits you will have when I decide to help you. I would take care of all the expenses during the war! Whether it's financial expenses, weapons, potions, and everything that goes with it. Maybe the material expenses... I will leave the means of transport and food at your expense. The weapons and potions I would deliver to you will all be without exception above spiritual grad! Apart from that, I will order Sabrina to teach you everything there is to know about magic. Nicco and Ashia will each take twenty disciples to teach them the profession of blacksmith and alchemy."
"WHAT?!" -Alice, and the others.
"Oh, I almost forgot. Financial charges, potions, and weapons will be on my accounts! My maids will have nothing to do with these things. I would even give you divine cultivation methods if one of you reaches divine rank in the future. And finally, I do not intend to stay away from the front. I intend to be on the front lines of defense! I can't guarantee you victory, but there's one thing I can guarantee you. If things ever become uncontrollable, I would guarantee to teleport you all far from this planet and we will come and recover it in the future!" He said without the slightest hesitation.
Hearing his words, they all had the same thought, what are the conditions for him to dare to offer so much?!
