The World Serpent

Chapter 137 - 137-Materials For Adamantine Steel

Within the Indra Region of the Great Forest was the Nation of Elda, A Nation consisting of mostly Elves. They are one of the Strongest Nations within the Realm of Piksyon while being one of the Three Nations under the Pentagon Union of the Great Forest. Such was the Nation of Elda. Its Great Ruler was Drya, also known as the Elven Empress.

In the Nation of Elda, On their Gargantuan Flying Island. Drya was within a Gigantic and Tall Tower. She was checking through the reports in her Office. Drya's Officer highly resembled a Modern Classic Office. It was Peace and Calm. There were a dozen of Bookshelves and Paintings scattered all over the Office. It seems that they were a product of their time. 

As Drya calmly checked through the reports given to her. The door to her Office slowly opened. Drya gazed upon the front door with her eyebrows raised. A Seductive Beautiful Elf revealed herself while carrying several Reports. "Your Majesty." The Elf slightly bowed while placing a Dozen of Reports onto the Table. The Beautiful Seductive Elf then lightly nodded towards Drya and left the Office. Drya looked upon the new wave of Reports and sighed. 

"Is there something you want?"

Drya asked as a Figure slowly appeared right in front of her. It was a Familiar Figure. After all, it was the Junior Supreme of the Pentagon Union. Persia revealed herself to Drya with a smile. Her Golden Amber Eyes shone as Persia walked towards Drya and sat on the chair near Drya's desk. "This is a good office, Senior Drya." 

"I'm grateful for your praise, Junior Persia. Did something happen in the Occidental Region?" 

Drya questioned as she was curious about why Persia had appeared in front of her. Persia shook her head denied after hearing Persia's question. She then replied with a calm voice. "Nothing had happened within the Occidental Region, but I need something from the Indra Region. After all, I have to build infrastructure for the Inquisition."

"I see... So, what are the materials do you need from my Nation?" Drya asked while squinting her gaze upon Persia. Materials have a price, and Drya already knew that Persia had come here to her Office, intending to pay the spoken cost. The only thing Drya thought was what price she would give to Persia. 

"I need your High Magic Crystals and Magic Steel. I would also like to buy Elemental Crystals." Persia answered with an honest tone. Hearing the things Persia had needed, Drya was a bit surprised. After all, she thought that Persia would buy expensive materials. The materials spoken to Drya were expensive for Common creatures but a penny for Great Rulers. 

"I'd like to receive more details about what you need." Drya couldn't help but coughed a little bit before speaking towards Persia. Persia nodded in understanding and continued her words with a calm voice. 

"I need 5,000,000 tons of Magic Crystal, 50,000,000 tons of Magic Steel, and 10,000 Elemental Crystals of all Elements each." Persia had released the numbers of the materials she needed. Drya, hearing the vast amount of materials Persia wanted to buy, couldn't help but freeze. She sighed and started relaxing. She then looked upon Persia with a squinted gaze and asked. "Are you sure?"

"Yes, I am sure about what I want to buy." Persia nodded as if the words she had spoken were nothing. For comparison, the things she wanted to buy were nearly comparable to the price of the Mothership. The Elven Nation would get alarmed by such a vast amount of materials, especially if it was the Nation of Bestia or Dwarven. But fortunately, it was the new Nation for the Occidental Region. 

"Then, how would you buy such materials?" Drya questioned as Persia started thinking about it. Persia doubted that Gold would work, so she might need to find something to trade in exchange for the materials. What that was, was unknown for Persia. Drya seeing Persia's reaction, couldn't help but sigh. 

"Well then. I can negotiate the price by turning it into a contract. How about let's make a Defense Treaty Contract." Drya spoke with a Serious voice as Persia looked at her without any change of reaction. Persia didn't care that much about politics. She was a brute, and to be honest. Politics between allies wasn't something important to Persia.

"A Defense Treaty Contract, I'd like to hear more about it." Persia nodded as Drya took out a paper. Persia looked at it and started reading it with her Golden Amber Eyes. As Persia read it, Her expression didn't change as it was simply a Normal Defense Treaty Contract. They weren't any strange words written in the Contract. Persia would have accepted the Contract, but.

"I'd rather pay the Materials. Also, I accept the Defense Treaty." Persia denied the Defense Treaty being a payment. Since the Defense Treaty was for her Nation, getting Materials from it would probably give Persia more damage than getting hit by an explosion that would typically destroy a mountain. 

"Aren't you too prideful, Persia?" Drya questioned. After all, If Drya found herself in Persia's situation, she would have accepted the Defense Treaty and the Free Materials. Persia gazed upon Drya with her Golden Amber Eyes as it released a prideful aura. "I'm not a shameless one, Drya. Despite being a brute, I'm would never be a shameless one."

"Well, that is something I would praise. I guess we are different, Persia." Drya smiled towards Persia as she continued speaking with a calm voice. "I'll give you the Materials you need." Persia furrowed her eyebrows and asked. "What about the payment?" Drya smirked after hearing Persia's question and answered. "You owe my Nation a simple favor." 

"And, I'm not talking about your Nation owing me a favor. I want the Ruler herself to owe me a favor." Drya continued as Persia looked upon the ceiling and thought about it. Persia couldn't find anything dangerous about it. After all, Drya might have already guessed that favors have limits. Persia wouldn't do everything for her. Nevertheless, having a Great Ruler under your Favor would be an excellent trump card. 

Persia then stood up and smirked towards Drya. "I hope that you aren't going to use me for trivial situations." Drya also stood up as the two of them shook their hands. "I'm not that kind of Ruler. I'll bring everything out of you." Drya smiled as the two of them finally secured a deal. That was easier than Persia had thought. She guessed that she might do a quest for Drya. It seems that Favor from a Great Ruler was expensive. 

"Then, when do you need it?" Drya asked as Persia answered with a calm voice. "Now," Her voice echoed as Drya shook her head. "Why don't we head to the warehouse," Drya spoke with her emotionless voice. Persia nodded as a Silver Gate formed in front of the two of them. The two of them walked through the Silver Gate as they arrived at the Warehouse of Elda. 

It was a Gigantic Warehouse with millions of materials of different kinds. Most of them came from within the Great Forest. But some of the Materials only appeared in the Outside Regions beyond the Great Forest. Persia then looked around the Gigantic Warehouse. She could feel treasures hiding within the Warehouse. She would want to get them, but unfortunately, Drya was right beside her. 

"I welcome you to my Warehouse. Take the things you need and get out." Drya turned her gaze towards Persia and smiled. "Your trust is quite high," Persia smirked as Drya shook her head and replied with a calm voice. "The Demon Serpent and the Master of the Inquisition wouldn't steal from a friend? After all, wouldn't that make her a scum?" 

"Hehe, correct. If I'm stealing, I'd rather take all of the treasures I could find than pick only one." Persia smirked as Drya smiled and shook her head once again. She then exited through the Silver Gate. The Silver Gate slowly faded as Persa found herself staring upon the Gigantic Warehouse without anyone other than herself. 

'Let's find the things I need and get out.' Persia thought to herself as she disappeared from the spot. The things she needed were vast amounts of Magic Crystals and Magic Steels. She also needs Elemental Crystals from all Elements. Ego was correct about the Material being expensive. 

"Adamantine Steel. A Good Material for my Bastion Fortress." Persia muttered while gazing upon the large amounts of contained Magic Crystals and Magic Steels. She then used her Silver Gate for instant teleportation of the Materials out of the Warehouse. Persia also had done the same to the Elemental Crystals. After taking what she needed, Persia looked at the Gargantuan Warehouse and mumbled. "Goodbye, Treasure Trove." After releasing her words, Persia walked towards a Silver Gate and disappeared from the spot.

As Persia disappeared, Drya was back in her Office while seeing a Paper on her desk. She immediately knew that it came from Persia. Though, she wondered why there was a Paper on her desk. She then took out the Paper with her pale arms. Drya started reading it without any change on her emotionless face. Reading the information on the Paper, Drya smiled and muttered.

"I'm glad you are worried about me, Persia. But there is a quote in politics. Keep your allies close, Keep your enemies closer." Drya slowly released a cold smirk as she continued with her seductive voice. "After all, that makes the game better." 

"Now, Should I send the Defense Treaty Contract to the Inquisition?"

"Nah, Let's wait for them to completely build their nation.." Drya shook her head and continued reading through the reports given to her.
