When they set sail, they were penniless, but now, on their way back, they were wealthy beyond imagination.
They had amassed over 40,000 units of crystals. If other players were to find out, they would surely be envious.
The Hero Altar, Crystal Devices, and Alice's unit talent tree required only around 10,000 units of crystals in total. With the extra 30,000 units, they had various options, such as trading them for other resources or keeping them as strategic reserves.
Calculating the time, Raymond had probably finished preparing the first batch of goods for the trade with the Crown of the Ocean and was ready to set off. If they acted quickly, he might already be on his way to the New Moon Islands.
Perhaps they could also use the surplus crystals for trading, exchanging them for other advanced resources like Mithril or Adamantium. They had multiple uses.
