99: Transaction Scroll

After a brief thought, Arthur understood that this might be related to the Merfolk Clan's race.

It's important to know that ordinary merfolk have a lifespan of about three hundred years, roughly three times that of humans.

So, the Old Ancestor Doria spoke of might already be over a thousand years old, but her appearance wasn't old.

Speaking of merfolk lifespans, one must also mention Doria. Although she looks like she's thirteen or fourteen, she is actually already over thirty years old.

Of course, her thirty-something age is still considered a child among merfolk, and her mind is still immature!

After everyone approached the secluded house, Arthur, Victor, and another Legendary Expert from the Merfolk Clan introduced themselves to each other again!

After sitting down in the house, the five of them left the space for conversation to Victor and the Merfolk Queen.

Victor was the person Arthur mentioned for the transaction, and Merfolk Queen Dorina was the current person in charge of the Merfolk Clan, making her the best candidate to discuss this transaction.

"Thank you very much, Your Excellency Victor, for traveling all this way for our Merfolk Clan!"

Before the discussion, Merfolk Queen Dorina expressed her gratitude once more.

Seeing this, Victor immediately replied:

"Your Majesty, there's no need for such courtesy. My main purpose in coming here was to fulfill Arthur's commission within the organization to trade some items with you. If you truly wish to thank someone, thank him!"

Victor understood that after this transaction, he might no longer have any overt dealings with the Merfolk Clan.

Therefore, accepting the Merfolk Clan's gratitude would be of no use to him. Instead, pushing everything onto Arthur would maximize his benefits.

Seeing Victor say this, Dorina smiled and glanced at Arthur, indicating her thanks.

Arthur also nodded in response.

After the two became acquainted, they finally got to the main topic. Merfolk Queen Dorina asked the question in her heart:

"Your Excellency Victor, I heard from Arthur that the items for this transaction are extraordinary. Could you please tell me more about them?"

Hearing this, Victor wasted no words and directly took out the five Forbidden Curse Magic scrolls Arthur had prepared from his space ring, placing them on the table in front of them.

He introduced them, saying:

"I haven't brought many goods this time, only these five magic scrolls. Two of them have the Meteor Shower magic inscribed, and the remaining three have the Volcanic Eruption magic inscribed.

I believe Your Majesty is familiar with the names of both types of magic. If you don't believe me, you can examine them first!"

The moment Victor took out the five scrolls, Dorina, as a Legendary Mage, sensed the extraordinary energy contained within them.

She had a vague guess in her heart, but when Victor truly stated that all five scrolls were Forbidden Curse Magic, even with Dorina's composure, she couldn't help but be shocked for a moment.

Doria even cutely opened her mouth wide!

It's important to know that magic scrolls cannot be inscribed just because you have the corresponding strength; you must also spend time studying the scroll inscription methods and possess talent in that area.

According to statistics, among a hundred mages who study how to inscribe magic scrolls, it's quite good if even one succeeds in inscribing a scroll.

And that's just for success; to inscribe more Advanced scrolls, even more effort is indispensable!

To inscribe Legendary Magic scrolls, one not only needs to reach Legendary strength, but their talent in scroll creation must also be extraordinary.

Such individuals are not found in the Kate Kingdom, nor are they found in the Merfolk Clan.

The entire Merfolk Clan currently only has a few merfolk capable of inscribing Advanced Magic scrolls, and such individuals are already considered talents within the tribe!

Furthermore, scrolls can be used together. Using several scrolls at once is equivalent to several Legendaries casting spells simultaneously, without the need for chanting, making them an excellent means of combating enemies!

And for Victor to casually take out five such precious items without changing his expression, it's no wonder even Merfolk Queen Dorina was shocked!

The matter of the scrolls was no small thing. Even though Dorina trusted Arthur and the person he introduced, she still opened the scrolls to examine them.

After confirming they were correct, excitement flickered in Dorina's beautiful eyes, because she knew that with these five scrolls, defeating the Naga Clan was no longer an issue!

She could finally avenge the hundreds of thousands of her people who had sacrificed themselves fighting the Naga!

Next, it was time to consider the price of the scrolls, as Legendary Magic scrolls were almost never circulated in the market.

Although the stated price was fifty million gold coins, if you actually tried to buy them at that price, it would be impossible.

In situations like the Merfolk Clan's, even if you offered them one hundred million gold coins per scroll, they would grit their teeth and buy them.

Because if they could defeat the Naga with these scrolls and avoid the disaster of extermination, what would five hundred million gold coins matter?

Dorina's highest psychological price was also one hundred million. Any higher, and she would feel it wasn't worth it.

If it was higher than one hundred million, she would still buy them for the sake of her clan, but she would definitely feel like she was getting a raw deal!

Moreover, even five hundred million was not a small sum for the Merfolk Clan; their royal treasury only held over one billion!

Thus, Dorina spoke with some apprehension:

"Your Excellency Victor, I've checked, and these scrolls of yours are all in order. So, I would like to buy all of them. What is the price?"

Arthur had already given instructions regarding the price, so Victor replied directly:

"This transaction was introduced by Arthur, so if Your Majesty wishes to acquire all five of these scrolls,

you only need to pay the organization's internal price, which is the market price: two hundred and fifty million gold coins!"

"So cheap!"

While surprised, Dorina also suddenly realized the power of the organization behind Arthur and Victor, as they could so casually forgo hundreds of millions in profit.

At the same time, she subtly glanced at Arthur, thinking, 'I thought I could take care of Doria's newly recognized older brother, but I underestimated him.'

With the mysterious Mutual Aid Society as his backing, it might be Arthur who takes care of her in the future.

The price being lower than she expected was a good thing, and a satisfied smile involuntarily appeared on Dorina's face.

But having gotten too good a deal, she felt a little uneasy and proactively raised the price:

"This price is too unexpected for me, too cheap!

Your Excellency Victor, you made this special trip, how can I let you make a losing deal? I've decided to buy these five scrolls for three hundred million gold coins, how does that sound?"

Arthur had only instructed him to sell them for two hundred and fifty million, so selling them for a bit more was even better. Thus, Victor didn't hesitate and nodded:

"No problem, deal!"

Most of the royal finances were in the hands of Merfolk Queen Doria, as she was responsible for controlling the country, and the money could be used more conveniently in her hands.
