Chapter 189: Palkus' Journey! 4
The reason why the elder wanted to announce the grand test was because it was a rare event, thus, worthy of inviting the world to see it.
Not even 20 minutes after Palkus and the elders entered the room, the alchemy guild, which was what this building was called, started welcoming guests one by one.
The seats were paid for, and every single guest that wanted to watch the grand test had to pay a certain amount.
The currency of Portalia was different from continent to continent but after the Gomen connected the world, the only recognized currency was the Portalian Dollar.
Thus, the guests had to pay $50 per seat. In less than 30 minutes, the alchemy guild has gained 250,000 dollars, which Palkus had a share of since he was the grand test participant; he didn't know of this yet, and in fact, not all grand test participants had a share. Just this once, the elder wanted to leave a good impression on Palkus.
