“I can't accept a deal like this, the price you set is too cheap.”
"Cheap? Mr.Leon, you should know that I value the three books you have as equal to the 10 products we have. Additionally, I reduced as much as possible the period between purchases you can make.”
“It can't be like this, you stipulate that I can only get 10 products with each purchase. It's too cheap and I can't accept it. Besides, it's not like I intend to buy products with the Traits of Great Destiny.”
Neither of them gave in to each other. This is an important deal that cannot be taken lightly.
Caihong's father really appreciated the knowledge that Leon brought, but he still had to think about Austin Farmland. He couldn't just accept Leon's decision and increase the offer of the products they were selling.
Leon was even more persistent. After learning that Austin Farmland decided to green light their deal, he did not hesitate to increase the value of the product he owned.
So what if he was so much inferior to the person in front of him? What could he do? Steal it?
Leon couldn't back down now. Apart from wanting the rewards the system gives, he currently sits as the leader of the Magic Tower of Babel. This was a status that he must not allow his dignity to fall from.
After a long period of negotiation, the Contract was finally finalized.
“With this, Austin Farmland will provide the 12 products we have and sell them to the magic Tower of Babel. As payment, the Magic Tower of Babel will hand over 3 books of knowledge and 4 research journals that you have. Transactions will be carried out every 8 years.”
“Are you satisfied with that?”
"Of course." Leon breathed a sigh of relief. He had been negotiating for 3 days and 3 nights. Even though the atmosphere here remains the same, the passing of time doesn't lie.
Leon took out a knowledge trading contract and filled in the same contents as the sheet Caihong's father had. After both of them sign their respective contracts, a contract is formed that is binding between the two people.
“I even had to give the name of the magic tower of Babel, It's really tiring.” Leon leaned back in the chair with sweat dripping down his forehead.
Thinking back, he was already crazy for daring to refute the words of the person in front of him when he was still a Tier 1 magus Initial stage.
At least I've done my job well. Leon looked at the system in front of him.
[Sub Quest: The best cooperation is a trade that provides mutual benefits.
The partnership between Austin Farmland and the Magic Tower of Babel has been established. Every 8 years, Austin Farmland will give 12 of their best products to the Magic Tower of Babel. The Magic Tower of Babel will sell 3 basic level books and 4 research journals located in the 1st Floor Library.
Rewards will be recalculated based on your performance.]
“So, when can I see the products you guys offer?”
“Please follow me, Mr. Leon”
Caihong's father guided Leon into a large mansion located nearby.
If you encounter this narrative on Amazon, note that it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.
The closer he got, the more it felt like this mansion had turned into a huge castle with towers reaching into the sky. A waterfall seemed to flow from the torn fibers of space and flow to form a lake as wide as an ocean.
"Mr. Leon, Austin Farmland has lots of products that we can offer you. Not only human slaves but many other creatures only exist in certain dimensions. An example is the Blood Shadow under your feet.”
Zaratul trembled when he saw the old grandfather's gaze fall on him. Somehow, no matter what he would do, just one breath from this person would destroy him like dust flying in the air.
“You don't need to be afraid, little shadow. I have no intention of taking in a Blood Shadow like you. We have many superior races that are better than a Blood shadow.”
Leon heard it and glanced at Zaratul. Whether he knows it or not, Leon's Blood Shadow is an Eclipse. Their upper limit was much greater than that of the entire Blood Shadow race.
It was just that their nature meant that they would not be able to climb the hierarchical ladder within the Blood Shadow race.
“It seems you have a high status in this place.”
"Not really. I'm just one of the people assigned to this place. I am just an insignificant overseer.”
“Is that so?”
As the two walked, the people working in this place lowered their heads. To be precise, they greeted this grandfather with eyes filled with honor and admiration.
In this place, Leon didn't only see humans, but there were many mystical creatures scattered throughout this place. An Elf filled with the aura of Vitality and Elementals, a Beastman who suppresses a worm with his claws, even a kind of creature that has no body and only takes the form of energy.
“Is there anything that catches your attention? Everything you see outside is the products we sell. If you want it, just choose what you like.”
All of these?
Leon saw dragons flying through the air, pixies scattering, various kinds of orbs, Harpie Species, and so many more that he lost count.
If he chooses a dragon up there or a Beastman who is fighting with many other Beastmen, maybe Orbs are scattered in the air. All this is something so magnificent and can be utilized in many ways. Moreover, the strength they possessed was not weak. Most were even stronger than the Zaratul in his shadow.
“Does anything catch your attention?”
Leon smiled when he heard that, he threw away any thoughts of rashly recruiting the people here. Seeing that they were outside, this old fart must have put the good stuff somewhere else.
“They are good, but not interesting. I wanted something that was interesting and had something extraordinary.” Leon glanced briefly before turning his gaze towards the door in front of him.
“Zaratul. Choose 5 people you can train as your helpers. Prioritize those who have greater potential. We don't need people who don't have potential.”
“As you wish, Master.” Zaratul appeared from Leon's shadow and immediately carried out his orders. His eyes were filled with a strong determination to carry out this order.
Leon looked at the old grandfather beside him. "So, can we continue?"
"Of course." Caihong's father replied while pushing open the large door in front of him. It was a small touch, but the door opened quickly.
Two people, a man and a woman came to greet Leon and Caihong's father. “we welcome valued guests from Austin Farmland.”
“Mr. Leon, these are the two people who will be the intermediaries between Austin Farmland and the magic tower of Babel. I apologize for not being able to welcome you all the time.” Caihong's father bowed and apologized to Leon, he looked at the two people who greeted him with a cold and sharp gaze.
“The boy is Niki and the girl is Rose. They are people who are experienced in managing this field and I have trained them personally.”
“If their service disappoints you…” Caihong's father looked at the two kneeling people, his expression immediately turning ugly. “Please tell me. I will take matters into my own hands.”
"Do you understand?"
Niki and Rose answered in unison. “We Understand!”
Their tone was filled with extreme fear. Their bodies trembled violently when they looked at Father Caihong.
“It's good if you understand. Mr. Leon, I have to leave for now. I enjoyed the time we both spent together. Please accept this.” Caihong's father raised his hand as if to take something.
A pink peach flew into Leon's hand. The fruit gives a sweet and slightly intoxicating aroma. Even though it looked so juicy and full, the weight of the peach could almost be considered non-existent.
Caihong's father immediately explained, "Consider this a gift from me and a reward for letting me read the book. Mr.Leon, you are an important guest of Austin Farmland and you will always be welcome here.”
“This fruit will help you in developing the magic techniques you practice. Although I don't know how effective this fruit will be in helping you, it will be enough. Although I have to admit, the person who created this technique is truly brilliant.”
Caihong's father smiled and disappeared.
"See you, Mr. Leon"
