Fruitful transaction

Before leaving, he ordered sandwiches in case Kevin woke up while he was away and feel hungry, and once the food was delivered he left a note for Kevin on the nightstand telling him where he was.

Axel after leaving the hotel went straight to Tony's shop, that was the name of the biggest magic shop in the whole area, and Tony was the name of the owner of that shop.

You could find everything there, weapons, alchemy materials, like magical herbs and other ingredients for crafting potions.

Tony also sold finished goods like precisely potions and talismans, and all of them were always of very good quality.

Axel had known him for a while and he knew that Tony always gave fair prices, which is why he had chosen to go there to sell the goblin bodies.

When Tony saw him arrive he greeted him and said : "Axel, it's been a while, what's bringing you here, are you coming to buy or sell ?"

Axel greeted him and said with a big smile : "I'm here to sell. I came across a dungeon full of goblins while walking through the forest earlier.

I have 17 goblin bodies, 4 knight goblin bodies, 3 elite knight goblin bodies, and the dungeon boss was a warrior goblin."

After giving an inventory of the bodies to Tony he added : "I also got their weapons. So, are you interested ?"

Tony couldn't believe it, goblin blood was a base ingredient of almost all potions and was therefore in high demand, Tony said without hesitation : "I'm interested, I will buy everything, just give me a little time to evaluate the bodies, I need a good hour to give you an estimate of their value."

Axel handed him a magic bag and said : "It's all inside, take your time, I know I can trust you to give me a fair price."

Tony took the magic bag and called his employees to come and give him a hand. Axel had put the bodies of the goblins and their weapons in one of his magic bags which he kept on purpose for transactions, like that no one had ever known what his real magic bag really contained.

Axel, meanwhile Tony was busy, went to observe the weapons and after checking them all, he saw a dagger that would surely please Kevin, it cost 560 gold coins, it wasn't perfect but it was the most powerful one he found here.

Its blade was blue and serrated, and its handle which was a darker blue molded the hand so as to have better control over the dagger.

Kevin had gotten a medium grade dagger in the dungeon and this one would make a perfect pair with it, he didn't think twice and went to buy it. He couldn't wait to give it to him and see his face when he would see it.

Axel went to pay for this dagger and Tony came back not long after and he told him excitedly : "Axel, you are such a lucky guy, there were 3 magical crystals inside the warrior goblin, do you have any idea how much they are worth ?"

Axel had seen some before but he was unaware of their value because each time he was with a group formed by the Sun Sect, and half of their loot always went to the Sect and after that they shared equally what was left.

Axel said to him : "I have no idea Tony, tell me everything."

Tony smiled and said : "The price varies according to their grade and size. These prices are set by the regulatory committee and they are firm, but if the magical crystals are auctioned then the prices provided by the regulatory committee are only indicative.

There are 5 different grades, low, medium, high, legendary and divine, and three sizes, small, medium, large.

Your three magical crystals are medium grade which is extremely rare in the aera, one is small and the other two are medium size.

For the small one I will give you 5 000 gold coins, and for the 2 medium size, I will give you 20 000 gold coins."

Seeing that Axel seemed petrified by this discovery, he chose to give him the price for the rest : "Axel, that was only for the magical crystals, let me give you the price for the bodies.

For the 17 goblins I offer you 100 gold coins per body, so 1 700 gold coins. For the 4 knight goblins I offer you 700 gold coins per body, so 2 800 gold coins. For the 3 elite knight goblins, it will be 3 800 gold coins per body, so 11 400 gold coins, and for the warrior goblin I offer you 15 000 gold coins."

When he saw that Axel didn't say anything, he asked him : "Is it okay for you ?"

Axel was completely paralyzed if he had known earlier that it was worth so much to loot dungeons on his own, he wouldn't have continued to team up with those of the Sun Sect.

Axel recovered quickly and said : "Sure I'm fine with your offer Tony, and if it could stay between us I would  really appreciate it."

Tony then said : "I won't say anything only if you promise to do something for me."

Axel tensed immediately, he preferred to keep that to himself otherwise everyone would ask him questions and the Sun Sect leaders risked giving him a headache by reminding him of the risks of looting a dungeon alone.

But now he understood better why the Sun Sect leaders forbade to go alone to loot a dungeon, because it was the easiest way for them to make easy money.

Tony promptly said to him when he saw him tense : "Don't worry it's not a big deal. I just want, if you ever happen to stumble upon a dungeon again, to be the one who will buy what you will find inside, that's it."

Before Axel could even answer him he said : "Ha wait ! I almost forgot to give you the price for the weapons you brought me, the warrior goblin's ax is really exceptional, are you sure you don't care to sell it ?"

Axel sighed in relief and said : "Don't worry Tony, I like dealing with you, I will come back here if ever the opportunity arises again, and don't worry about the ax, I prefer swords so it's all for you."

Tony nodded in satisfaction and said : "For the weapons I'm offering you 18 000 gold coins, so with the rest that makes a total of 73 900 gold coins."

After this transaction, which was very fruitful for both of them, they exchanged a few banalities and Axel finally went back to the hotel, eager to see if Kevin had woken up.
