Chapter 376 Currency War (12)
Transcendence Dragon.
Despite being a very small number of less than 20 individuals across the entire continent, Kervenians were members of this selfish race that is widely believed to be the strongest in the world and has 80% of Arcadia’s wealth alone.
Apple and Lemon, who had been in charge of disposing of all the legacy of the Red clan, who had been dormant for thousands and tens of thousands of years, were literally having a stormy time.
“Where the hell did this thing come from?”
The emperor of the Bamal Empire, who is making an expression of disbelief at the things Apple brought. Seeing the huge, antique-decorated blue sword and armor in front of him, he jumped up from his throne without realizing it, as if he was in great shock.
“How did ‘Chill of the Froststorm’ come into full form…?”
Chill of the Froststorm Set.
Apple, who brought this item, which is classified as a legendary-grade set item, to the emperor of the Bamal Empire, came down from the throne with a shocked face and showed him the appearance of a salesperson so perfect that he could be put in a textbook. He teased his tongue vigorously.
“Isn’t this item used by the first emperor, Behemoth, who was called the great Frost Storm Lord in the past, the most precious and valuable treasure of the Empire? By chance, we were able to obtain information related to this treasure, and after a great deal of time and money, our guild was able to find it in its complete form.”
The first emperor who single-handedly took complete control of the rugged and divided northern part and established the Bamal Empire.
Frost Storm Lord Behemoth.
A treasure with tremendous historical value that can be said to be the weapon of the past that he used and the legitimacy and symbol of the Bamal Empire itself. The fact that the legacy of the empire, which had completely disappeared without a trace with the death of the Behemoth in the past, had returned to him in its complete form, the face of the current emperor of the Bamal Empire showed both joy and urgency at the same time.
‘This… no matter what happens, we must put it in our empire’s hands.’
It is an excellent ancient equipment that has powerful power in itself, but it is a symbol of the imperial power and an object that is no different from its proof. To that extent, the desire and nostalgia for the brilliant achievements of the Behemoth and the golden age were still thick throughout the empire, so he asked while glancing at Apple, which did not erase the smile of a friendly salesman from his face. “First of all… I have to say thank you very
much for
finding the treasure of our empire again and bringing it to me…”
“no. It is thanks to the benevolent grace of the Barmal Empire and His Majesty the Emperor that our pie top has been so large. Please think of it as the minimum amount of sincerity you can show as a merchant who gains a lot from trade with the empire.”
Even if it’s empty words, the humble answer that will inevitably bring a smile to the listener. At his words, the emperor smiled and asked.
“So… what do you want? I brought such a precious imperial treasure, but my honor would not allow me to just take it.”
The Emperor’s direct question about the price of the product. And in response to that question, Apple continued to make all sorts of flattering remarks with a sad expression again, but he said as if he could never back down.
“…Thus, in order to obtain this item, countless lives were sacrificed, and we also had to pay a huge amount of gold to the original owner in return for handing over these treasures. Therefore, in this transaction, I earnestly ask you to repay me with only gold, not any interests or goods.”
Apple will only deal with cash butts, giving all sorts of ridiculous reasons. And to his words, the emperor casually nodded and replied.
“Don’t do that. So…how much will it be?”
A treasure of the empire with an immense value that cannot be put at any price. Therefore, in this situation where the intention between the two parties to the transaction is the most important, Apple responded most honestly and directly.
“I think about 50 million gold would be a reasonable price.”
“550 million gold…?”
At those words, even the majestic emperor lost his words for an instant and froze. And the faces of the prime minister and other high-ranking aristocrats, who were watching all this situation by his side, turned into stern expressions as if they wanted to poop, but Apple muttered inwardly as if it expected this to happen.
‘Now… now the real game begins…..’
Umm…..
And the effects of countless skills and items activated at that moment.

bargaining power.
In order to fulfill its duty of making absurd deals and making the most of profits, Apple mobilized all its abilities to maximize its bargaining power and began to tease its mouth.
To make this ridiculous deal to sell a legendary set for 50 million gold.
* * *
When Apple and Lemon are scattered and mobilizing all their personal connections and influence at the top of the pie, they are extorting gold from countless monarchs, powerful people and wealthy people throughout the continent of Arcadia.
Jaeyoung was sitting quietly at Kervenian’s rare, keeping the auction house system window open and watching the movement of the gold market.
-1 Gold: 354,300 won
“Wow….. Reading comprehension. You say it won’t fall?”
The price range continues to move sideways at 350,000 won per gold. Seeing that, Jaeyoung glanced at the total amount of gold he had sold so far, as if he was getting tired of it.
[Settlement: 350 trillion 293.5 billion 23.132569 won]
Jae-young throws the proceeds of the items Apple and Lemon busily sold at the auction house where the golden goblin brings them. He sold an enormous amount of gold, which amounted to more than half of the entire national budget of Korea, but when the price showed a movement to go down even a little, he hit a wall with an astronomical buying force somewhere, and Jae-young realized the greatness of China for the first time since he was born here. was able to experience
“No, how much money does China have? Even though I sold it like crazy, I can’t even draw the national budget to keep the price…” If it were
not me, but ordinary Arcadia users, it would be so huge and enormous that no one could ever stop or resist it. Influence. That’s why Jaeyoung felt a strange sense of victory and grumbled with a look on his face.
“Let’s see who wins. There’s still a lot left to sell.”
Goods still piled up in Kervenian’s rare. Of course, most miscellaneous legendary items and gold had been disposed of and exchanged a long time ago, but there were still plenty of items with high value, so Jaeyoung was waiting for the golden goblin to bring him gold again with a confident face.
“Hey, master. What are you doing? They said they were selling things, but where did all that gold go?”
Jaeyoung has been sitting still for over 3 days and eating only the gold brought by the golden goblin like a baby bird. Satan, who was watching with an exciting face next to him, took out a scroll and prepared to record something, and was nervous while rolling around with a bored face.
“I said so. It has nothing to do with you, so don’t worry about it.”
Jaeyoung responds without blinking an eye, as if he doesn’t care about Tan’s annoyance. However, L looked at him with sharp eyes and asked.
“Did something happen in this world by any chance?”
The beings of Arcadia recognize adventurers as wanderers from another dimension. Since they usually don’t pay any attention to him or mention anything about him, Jae-young put on a blank expression for a moment and said roundly at El’s question, who directly mentioned the other world.
“Well… strictly speaking, they are similar. It’s bigger than just doing a friend favor.”
“A friend…?”
“what. Did the owner have any friends?”
Tan and L question Jaeyoung’s words with disbelief on their faces.
At the reaction of the two, Jaeyoung finally turned his head and asked a curt question.
“what? that question. Are you saying that I don’t have any friends?”
Jaeyoung doesn’t approach people so sociably, but it’s not like he doesn’t have anyone who can be called a friend. However, Tan told Jae-young his thoughts very honestly.
“Isn’t it obvious? From what I’ve seen, a vicious person like the owner doesn’t make friends. Only those who are worth using are made into slaves who eat their souls… Eup! town!”
“Stop talking nonsense, you damn bat.”
Seeing Jaeyoung’s sullen expression, L hurriedly covers Tan’s mouth. Jaeyoung looked at Tan, who struggled violently as if he had said something he couldn’t say, and L, who overpowered him.
“uh. came?”
Lemon and the golden goblin stand in front of Jaeyoung, knowing when they came back.
Jaeyoung greeted the two and waved his hand, and Lemon responded with a nervous nod.
“Kill-kil-kil. As the master said, we have completed the transaction with the Mage Tower.”
A golden goblin who is a high-ranking demon and warehouse keeper.
With some sort of power to move them anywhere he wanted, he was transporting Apples and Lemons to all corners of Arcadia, making all sorts of deals in literally real time.
And Lemon, who came after a pretty big deal this time.
Jaeyoung asked, looking at her with expectant eyes.
“how is it? Did the deal go well? Did you try to make a fuss with dog foam in the magic tower?”
A maddening group of people who turn their eyes first and rush at anything related to magic. It was clear that the response was probably well worth the money given that they held a complete set of 20 Circle 8 magic books in front of them. And Lemon, who took a deep breath with a white face, trembled and said,
“Yeah….. I really thought I was going to die? I’m not kidding, it made me wonder if I would have tried to rob it, even if it meant killing me, if I had broken the deal.”
A decision made in a big way to rob all the property that the Mage Tower has. And since the minimum price that Jaeyoung demanded in this transaction was insane, Lemon hadn’t thought that this transaction would be successful until now.
“So… how did it go? How much did you sell it for? You really didn’t sell it for 1 billion gold, did you?”
At least 1 billion gold.
Jae-Young, whose parents all paid the minimum price for going to the United States, whose current market price is 350 trillion won. However, at his question, Lemon began to talk about his achievements in a dejected voice as if he was really tired.
“At first, when they heard the price, they said I was crazy.”
“So?”
The price range was absolutely impossible even for the Mage Tower with a lot of money. However, the 8th class magic book complete set was an unbearable product to give up due to lack of money.
“So, as you said, I decided to cancel the deal and stood up, but suddenly the owners of the Magic Tower grabbed me.”
Like that, the 5 top magic towers grabbed Lemon by the crotch of his pants and started to hang down. And soon, they mobilized all means and began to gather all the assets of the Mage Tower.
“Well…then it was total shit. After connecting with all sorts of strange wizards through a communication tool, having a war of words, all the wizards dressed in bizarre clothes they hadn’t even heard of gathered together and discussed what to say, and soon even the witches came looking for them? It seemed like they had summoned all the wizarding powers from all continents, not just Korea.”
The 5 Magical Towers that gathered all the numerous magic societies and powers of this vast Arcadia. And as a result of attracting the funds of all the magicians of Arcadia from here and there, they were able to obtain forbidden knowledge that had never been freely allowed to humans.
“So… how much is it?”
At Jaeyoung’s question to stop talking nonsense and just say the conclusion, Lemon smiled weakly and spread his hands out.
“500 million gold. The transaction was completed at a price 50% higher than the price you wanted.”
1.5 billion gold.
It was a lemon that made a profit of 525 trillion won in one shot at the current market price.
