Melt the platinum coins

Zevkoras sat on the chair of his table like usual and looked at Zick with cold eyes. There was another person in the room, he stood on the right side of Zevkoras like a royal guard. He had brown hair with bright green eyes, he appeared to be in his 30s.

His name is Vertel Genvec, he is one of the master swordsmen under the Melvix family. He had been assigned to fight against the demons who are invading the continent in the northwest of the continent. Most of it was desert but some of the demonic species reached the Cravion kingdom.

The continent from which the demon came is called the demon continent by everyone. 

Right at the moment, the demonic race only sends monsters with no sanity which they use as an expandable. So the first continent underestimated them to a large degree.

They are not aware that the demonic race are trying to take over the desert right at the moment, in the north of the first continent to use as a base but are being stopped by the dark elves who live there.

The demonic race would start earnestly invading the two continents after five years from now in the novel. After facing the demonic race for a year both the first and second continent were able to discern the danger posed by them.

So both of them made an oath of cease-fire and cooperation to fight against the demonic race, at least that was what happened in the novel.

Zick bowed his head a little and greeted Zevkoras in a refined manner.

"You will be heading towards the academic city soon, yes?"

Zevkoras asked with a questioning tone.

"Yes."

Zick answered with the same deadpan expression, he had already thought of the reason why he was called here for a while now.

Zevkoras nodded his head and continued speaking.

"Vertel will escort you and Take two servants with you to take care of the villa in the academic city."

"Butler Von is mor-"

"You are going to make him take care of the whole villa by himself? you don't need to worry, I will make the servants take an oath to you."

Zick's words were cut halfway through by Zevkoras voice.

As Zevkoras had said, there is a villa which belongs to the Melvix family in the academic city. All the heirs stay in that villa when they attend the academy.

There are dorms in the academic city for the students who attend but It isn't compulsory to live in the dorms while attending the academy so nobles who have enough influence have their own villa made for their heirs. 

Zick stared at Zevkoras for a second then nodded his head, originally he was going to order butler Von to arrange a carriage in the city nearby for travelling. But now that Vertel will escort him, they will prepare a carriage for him.

And for the matter of servants, Zick thought that Butler Von could take care of the whole villa without any problem but, still accepted it after hearing the word oath. 

Contemplating about it for a second, Zick found that there is a very low chance for the servants who have taken oath to be observers who will keep watch on him. They would not be able to do anything that can be detrimental to him, if they did, they would be killed by the oath.

"Good and.....If anyone tries to look down on you, don't show mercy. The whole Melvix family will support you."

Zevkoras eyes became extremely cold giving people a chilling feeling, it doesn't matter who it is as long as they hurt the dignity of the Melvix family in any way, they must pay for it.

This is how Zevkoras....no the Melvix family has been conducting itself for a very long time.

"Yes."

Zick said in a plain voice accepting what Zevkoras said, his vertical eyes were emotionless the whole time as he thought about the academy.

'Not much should have changed in the academic city from the novel, I didn't influence the academic city much until now, leaving Hester who should have gotten the piece of heart, other student must be the same as mentioned in the novel.'

'The protagonist would without a doubt attend the academy this year, an officer from the academy must have already visited his village by now.....'

Feeling Zevkoras's going to speak again, Zick looked at him.

"It would take around a week for you to reach the academic city so be ready to leave in four days from now."

"Yes father"

"You can go now."

Zick headed out of the room and started walking towards the main hall. It didn't take him long to reach there, he could see Butler Von waiting for him like a statue.

"Prepare all my belongings, we will be leaving in four days."

Zick passed his ring over to Butler Von saying this, he now had started trusting him a little more and left most of the small stuff for him to take care off.

There were more than five hundred platinum coins within the ring right at the moment.

The bodies of the wyvern were sold for more than he had estimated it to, Butler Von was able to sell the bodies of the wyverns easily as it was famous among the adventure guild, almost all of it were sold within three days.

Wyvern body parts are very high quality material used to make armour, sword and magic scrolls, Which shows its versatility.

The other things which were within his ring were also sold, which gave him a little more than hundred gold coins.

If Zick just took the platinum coins into account, he has more than 50 millions Dels right at the moment. 

'It will be hard to use in the second continent.....'

But Zick could not do anything about it, even the space ring cannot stop the wyvern's body from degrading. Zick's current space ring has the capability of slowing down the time of any item within it but not stopping it. 

So if an item is kept within it for a long time it would still degrade slowly, which would make the wyverns body's selling price drop.

'Well I can still just melt it and then sell it.....'

Zick did not give up on it so easily, now that he can use magic, it is possible to just melt the platinum coins and then sell it. Doing this would not let his identity known too.

"Young master Zick, then should I take all your clothes and....."

"Just put everything that belongs to me within the ring, of course don't take anything belonging to the Melvix family mistakenly."

".....yes"

Responding to Zick's order, Butler Von started heading towards Zick's room.
