166: Druids buys dragon blood

So, the moment the Sky Knight of the Lionheart Merchant Guild announced that they could enter the guild for shopping, Drus was the first to stride quickly towards the guild.

Many others with equally deep pockets followed close behind.

Of course, the vast majority of people were not qualified to enter the guild; one million gold coins was not a small sum.

So, they could only watch with envious eyes as people led by Drus walked into the guild.

On the other side, after Drus arrived at the guild's entrance, he was first greeted by two beautiful Gold Knightesses, who were responsible for verifying funds.

His main space ring certainly couldn't be shown to others casually.

Drus was prepared for this. He took out a spare space ring, put one million gold coins into it, and then handed it to the two Lionheart Merchant Guild maids verifying funds.

After confirming that Drus's funds met the standard, the two Lionheart Merchant Guild maids returned the space ring to Drus.

However, the Earth Knight guard accompanying Drus was not asked to verify funds.

Because the unspoken rule was that a verified person could bring at least two people inside.

After all, everyone has Family and friends.

Drus took a few more steps forward, and upon entering the guild's door, he was greeted by eight Gold Knightesses standing in two rows:

"Welcome to the Lionheart Merchant Guild!"

Being greeted with a bow by eight beautiful Gold Knightesses, even Drus, as the legitimate son of a Duke's Family, felt a sense of elation.

After all, even in his Taylor Family, they could gather ten Gold Knightesses, and they were all good-looking.

But those were generally the wives of people with considerable status in the Family.

So, this was the first time Drus had encountered such a scene, and from this scene, he indirectly felt the profound heritage of the Lionheart Merchant Guild.

His trust and anticipation for the Lionheart Merchant Guild's promotion grew even stronger.

With this anticipation, Drus walked into the guild even more excitedly, his steps quickening involuntarily.

Inside the guild, twenty maids were ready to receive guests. The moment Drus appeared inside the guild, a maid with Gold Knight strength instinctively stepped forward to greet him.

From the appearance of Drus and his guard, the maid recognized that Drus was the leader, so she approached him.

"Hello, sirs. Are you looking to purchase any goods? If so, I will escort you to a private VIP room for the transaction!"

Drus had come specifically for the Lionheart Merchant Guild's dragon blood, not to sightsee, so he quickly replied:

"Yes, I'm here to purchase items from the guild. Thank you for your trouble!"

Due to his eagerness, Drus, the legitimate son of a Duke's Family, even used a pleading tone with the maid.

"It's my duty!"

The maid noticed Drus's urgency. After a brief reply, she led Drus to the nearest VIP room.

Inside the VIP room, a female salesperson of Gold Knight level was already waiting in full readiness.

"Now, the staff in the VIP room will handle your purchase. I shall take my leave!"

The maid responsible for reception departed after escorting Drus to the VIP room.

They only had twenty people assigned to reception, so they couldn't delay too long.

After Drus and his Earth Knight guard entered the VIP room, they scanned their surroundings, finding that the VIP room didn't look like a place for transactions, but rather a luxurious chamber.

The most striking feature was a pair of sofa-like long chairs in the center of the room, facing each other, with a long table in between, laden with various drinks, desserts, fruits, and more.

This atmosphere felt less like doing business and more like a gathering of friends.

The female salesperson, a Gold Knight, who had been sitting on the sofa, immediately rose upon seeing someone enter and said with a smile:

"Since both of you have come here, you must be serious about purchasing something.

Our Lionheart Merchant Guild currently offers four types of goods: Sky Knight Greatswords, sky knight armor, high-grade magic crystals, and dragon blood. May I ask what you two gentlemen wish to purchase?"

Upon hearing this, Drus could no longer suppress the excitement in his heart, directly ignoring the other three items, and said with an expectant look:

"dragon blood, I need dragon blood. May I ask how much stock your guild currently has? I want all of it!"

In Drus's view, dragon blood was extremely precious. Being able to produce six hundred cubic meters of dragon blood, equivalent to the blood of an entire giant dragon, was already quite remarkable.

And the blood of an entire giant dragon could coincidentally help him quickly advance to Sky Knight, so he immediately declared he wanted it all.

However, Arthur's allocation to the Lionheart Merchant Guild's branch was one thousand eight hundred cubic meters of giant dragon blood per month, equivalent to the total blood volume of three giant dragons!

Upon hearing Drus's words, the female salesperson immediately revealed the guild's dragon blood inventory:

"Sir, our Lionheart Merchant Guild's Lia Kingdom branch currently has an inventory of one thousand eight hundred cubic meters of dragon blood. Purchasing all of it would cost one hundred eighty million gold coins!

Are you sure you want all of it?"

Hearing this, Drus's expression first stiffened, then his pupils sharply contracted.

His expression was stiff because the total amount of gold coins Dross possessed was only about one hundred million, not one hundred eighty million at all.

He couldn't afford all the dragon blood in the guild, which meant his previous words were boastful.

This was very embarrassing, hence Drus's stiff expression.

The subsequent sharp contraction of his pupils was because Drus was stunned by the Lionheart Merchant Guild's dragon blood inventory.

This single branch actually had one thousand eight hundred cubic meters of dragon blood, which greatly exceeded his expectations!

However, this was a good thing, meaning Drus could finally purchase the dragon blood he had longed for!

This made Drus immediately discard the embarrassment of his previous boastful words, and an apologetic look appeared on his face.

"I didn't expect the Lionheart Merchant Guild's heritage to be so astonishing; I spoke too boldly earlier!

I can't afford one thousand eight hundred cubic meters of dragon blood; I only need one thousand cubic meters of dragon blood!

However, before payment, I hope to inspect it!"

In Drus's mind, dragon blood was a rare opportunity, so he immediately took out all the cash he had to purchase it.

On the other side, the Lionheart Merchant Guild's female salesperson did not respond to Drus's embarrassment.

Because this was the best way to avoid awkwardness, she simply continued to smile and said:

"Inspection before payment is standard practice!

Please wait a moment!"

If it were just a transaction of a few million, the female salesperson's Gold Knight strength could ensure no accidents.

But Drus was asking for one thousand cubic meters of dragon blood, which was a transaction of one hundred million gold coins.

The salesperson's Gold Knight strength couldn't handle it. Moreover, she didn't carry that much dragon blood with her.

So, the female salesperson also needed to go to the President (President) of this city's branch, a Sky Knight, to retrieve the goods.

And arrange for a powerful individual of Earth Knight level to supervise the transaction, ensuring no mishaps.
