CHAPTER 19  

John looked at Jim who was being held by him using his power and was flying in the air alongside him. Jim tried to say something but John did not care as sound could not be transferred. He thought about the possibilities about war and what needed to be sold. He had decided to create some buildings in the land and sell it as real estate. A thousand-meter-high building with all facilities would be much interesting to these people and he could build higher. He will have to let the materials remain strong and let the building remain static. He would also have to let the water come in some miraculous manner and he had some codes to ensure that. He could enrich many areas and he was happy then. So, what if he could be killed later. He was going to enjoy as much as possible before he died and manipulating the world was interesting as long as it did not affect his fun time and lone time. 

John and Jim landed in his area. He had disconnected from his previous kingdom due to the friction due to ideas. Truth only remained at the hands of the strong and they are the one who sets the rules. Justice is a mere fallacy built upon illusion of righteousness made to manage the order of the masses. 

John looked at the ground and bought some chairs and tables. The ground was filled with grass and was much clean and isolated from other animals and insects. He liked outside but hated biological matter leaving a few like the leaves or flowers. He hated the fruits too unless they are used for eating. He sighed and they had some small talk before they stood up and John pout away the items. He sighed as he was strong enough to fight against the world but he was scared enough to let the world be under him. The only one who he was scared about was the god as he was the one who could stamp him dead with a thought.

John looked at the man and took some swords and armour. The general armour only protected the main body parts and would change into a block as it was made to fit the body as per the body size. It mimicked the medieval knight armour and was made of wood and covered with some biological tissue of different colours. The texture was made clearer and more metallic and he could not see that it was made of wood. He could even make them using grass such that the inner part would remain hollow but it would remain strong. He could make it as easy to use as possible. 

Jim kept swinging the sword and kept testing the strength. Jim also took his sword and stroked both swords and the metal sword was cut off as if it was made of clay. Jim was indeed interested in the sword. Jim also tested the armour and also tested the sword and armour. He sighed at the wonderful materials and asked, "What about the full body armour you talked about?"

John said, "Are you sure you want that? The whole-body armour would hide your body such that you will not be understood as who you are. Anyone who buys the armour from me could just mimic you."

Jim said, "You can customise it to become something unique to each customer. You can make it a luxury item."

John looked at him and gave him a full body suit. The part covering the face was made using water that was made to form something akin to solid and strong. The temperature would remain equivalent to the room temperature that he had considered as a constant independent of the surrounding room temperature. Jim kept walking in the armour and it only had one function that it was much stronger than anything else. He could also add some more features like letting it fly as per the thought of the user. He decided to add it and said, "You can fly if you think to do so."

Jim rose with the armour and he flew around. His speed was limited by Jim as he did not want to see that the royal capital was destroyed due to some traffic accident. He thought about the fast-moving fighter jets but he could not believe them. They did not have any professional knowledge and using it at a low speed was indeed much more than enough to have advantage in this world. Jim was indeed happy with the item and asked, "How much for the items."

John said, "A thousand gold coins for the full body mecha armour and it is just 500 for you for this time only. The armour can be taken for a gold coin and so is the sword."

Jim had a serious face and said, "I have no problem with the cost of the ordinary armour and sword as a well forged castle steel cost as much. But the cost of the thing you call full body mecha armour is something that I cannot accept."

John said, "You have to accept it. Do you understand the meaning of air supremacy. You can fly into the air and can understand how to command the army and where the soldiers are. I can also add a loudspeaker which is a special machine that will make your voice louder and hearable to all soldiers. You should understand that you will have much better supremacy in this war and you will be able to make more achievements. You can also take over the enemy kingdom and you can also make more money."

Jim said, "War cannot make money."

John said, "The full body mecha armour is much stronger and you cannot be harmed or pushed back against your will. You may be trapped but if you are trapped that is your mistake not mine. You can easily go to the commanders and directly kill them as they will not be able to do anything against you. You can also go to the nobles and take their golds and silver. You can directly fly to the main cities and bring the gold as there would be no crime as you are already in war. Take the offer or leave. You should know that I can sell it to anyone and you are not the only one who wants it."

Jim said, "That is indeed true. I will take the offer. Give me two hundred normal armour and swords."

John asked, "How many will be in the war."

Jim said, "I will be the main commander with at least 40000-50000 under me. I have only two hundred knights under me."

John said, "What about the other knights? Does your kingdom only have 200 knights."

Jim said, "I only have that many under me. They are the commoners who are talented and have learnt the common knight training method. I do not have that many under me."

John said, "I can give you a hundred temporary swords that will last for a month but will return to me directly after the time stops. You can give it to the soldiers under you so that you can have much better effect in the war. You don't have to worry about mutiny as I will be giving you the control ring with which you can let the swords return to rudimentary form. You should understand that the peasants you bring to war do not understand the way of spears and cannot handle heavier weapons. My weapons are the best for them."

Jim asked, "Can you spears of such type."

John said, "Yes. The temporary ones of the spear type cost the same." 

Jim looked at the spear and tried to punch through the ground and easily accomplished it. He decided to get more spears. Jim looked at John and said, "40,000 temporary spears and two hundred permanent set of knights."

John said, "Sure. You can take them after making a full payment. You can leave now. I will be sending you using a spell so that you can return to where we had begun the conversation."

Jim asked, "I wanted to see the magical market you created."

John said, "I will open another market in your kingdom. If you had come in some another manner then you could have stayed at your discretion. The problem is that I bought you here and it is my duty to have you reach back."

John did not listen to him anymore and let him return to his land by letting him fly away.
