Chapter 1554: Chapter 469 Others’ _2

"One black coin can buy a Biyaqiao 3000!" The old Lich chuckled. "Your Majesty, you are just as the rumors say, innocent and pure, inexperienced in the ways of the world!"

"Have the rumors about me been intense recently?" Liu Zhenhuan felt a chill in his heart. He only had a total of 998 black shell coins, and even the civilian-grade Noah Osteo-Link Box was this expensive—what could he afford with the rest of the money? Jia Bao, that stingy little tyrant, really had the gall to give him such a tiny sum!

"Bravery and invincibility will add wings to any rumor," replied the old Lich Sula as he discreetly patted Liu Zhenhuan on his lofty ego.

"I’ll take five hundred Osteo-Link Boxes!" Liu Zhenhuan had originally planned to go on a shopping spree, but now he could only scale back considerably.

"That’s nothing at all! Your Majesty, to celebrate your ascension to Heavenly King, our humble trading company is willing to gift you one thousand Osteo-Link Boxes for free. I understand that in the future your airborne cavalry will surely require specialized communication tools among their officer ranks!" The old Lich’s unexpected generosity brought Liu Zhenhuan a delightful surprise.

Power seemed to attract sycophants wherever it went! No wonder they say that men love the two dirtiest things in the world—

"Do you have crystals here? Blue-glint glass crystals for armor enhancement, storage crystals, teleportation crystals, smoke-shadowed crystals for Hz testing—oh, and protective diamond crystals! And don’t forget the Osteo Wand!" Liu Zhenhuan thought to himself, Damn it, if I’m going to extort, I might as well go all out! These Demon World trading companies are even more aggressive than the goblin shops that once flourished during the era of divine-demonic wars. While they lacked the fascinating goblin airships, they possessed the extravagant teleportation crystal arrays capable of instantly transporting bulk goods across the Three Mainlands of the Demon World.

"Your Majesty, for such a large procurement..." The old Lich awkwardly glanced at the few black shell coins on the table, appearing visibly troubled. After hesitating for quite some time, he tactfully said, "If this is a purchase for military supplies, you shouldn’t have to use your own funds. These days, it’s no longer the era when nobles relied on privately armed forces under the royal banner. All these resources—before the Holy War arrives—will undoubtedly be appropriately allocated by the war preparations division!"

"It takes three things to forge a formidable army: equipment, equipment, and still more equipment! Don’t worry—I’ll find a way if money runs short. Just give me a total price!" Liu Zhenhuan grinned widely, shameless bluffing being his forte.

Elise, who had remained silent until now, suddenly leaned toward Avril’s ear and whispered something. Little Ai rummaged around beneath her cloak for a while before elegantly extending her slender fingers. With a soft slide of her fingers, she pushed a neat stack of crystal vials bound by a rubber band across the table toward the old Lich.

Under Liu Zhenhuan’s puzzled gaze, the old Lich stood up, trembling as if struck by a stroke, his eyes utterly transfixed on the stack of blood marrow vials, his hands shaking uncontrollably.

Liu Zhenhuan, who was accustomed to spending freely, had no idea the sheer value these blood marrow vials represented—vials capable of instant magic replenishment!

In the Demon World, only Arcane Beast crystal nuclei or Osteo Wands could store mana. However, the level and quality of these storage tools greatly limited the amount of mana they could hold, effectively restricting the Arcanist’s capacities!

In time-critical adventures or battlefields, a vial of blood marrow could change the tide of war. Now, here were twelve such vials!

Forget the Demon World—even in the land of batmen, the Aegean Continent, these blood marrow vials were exceedingly rare!

High-ranking mages, especially, yearned for such treasures as if praying for divine intervention to bestow a stroke of fortune!

Only someone like Liu Zhenhuan, who treated the Spring of Elements as standard equipment and downgraded blood marrow to second-tier gear, would fail to recognize its significance. Every other mage would be eagerly wishing for a miracle to acquire a treasure like this!

"Your Majesty, surely this blood marrow is the gift bestowed upon a Duke by Your Majesty Jiabao? Are you truly willing to sell it?" Sula, struck dumb by the miraculous find, finally regained his composure. His eyes burned with fervor as he stared fixedly at Liu Zhenhuan.

"What’s the big deal?" Liu Zhenhuan shrugged nonchalantly. He removed the storage earrings gifted by Jia Bao from his ear, focused his thoughts, and scattered a heap of weapons and equipment across the table. "Take them in exchange! I’m selling all of this to you!"

"By the Demon God!" The old Lich nearly fainted. "These are all top-grade ceremonial weapons! And so many protective diamond crystals—wait, a mutant Bitbus Arcane Beast’s Osteo Wand! And mut—mut—"

"Mutant your head! Enough! The crystals and Osteo Wand aren’t for sale; just look at the weapons! All of them are gifts from the Queen!" Liu Zhenhuan impatiently interrupted the old miser’s theatrics.

"Your Majesty, why don’t we handle it this way: you list all the equipment you need, and I’ll evaluate my inventory before making a final tally. How does that sound?" The old Lich Sula swallowed hard, his throat conspicuously quivering. He now saw Liu Zhenhuan as a Left Bank Heavenly King blessed with divine favor!

"Blue-glint glass crystals—I need about ten thousand Moka worth to modify armor!" Liu Zhenhuan counted on his fingers, happily picturing a troop of Mechanical Gao Cen armed with the crystals in his mind.

"Among protective crystals, I don’t believe I’ve heard of such a type!" The old Lich was holding a leather scroll and a quill pen, just dipped in ink. He paused in surprise, looking up in confusion as Liu Zhenhuan mentioned it.

"Oh? You don’t have that?" Liu Zhenhuan frowned, recalling the blue-glint glass crystals embedded in the armor shells of his two Gao Cen units, refined from the shell of a Scorpo-Lion Acathurte. Could it be that even the crystal-filled Demon World lacked this variety?

"Your Majesty, the best gel-like protective crystals available for armor reinforcement are Star-Blue Mia crystals, which are exclusive to certain elite military divisions. However, a quantity of ten thousand Moka is far too excessive. Although we are the top trading company in the Demon World, we can only provide up to two thousand Moka worth! If you’re willing, we can supplement the remaining amount with second-tier Ink Crystals."

"Great! Perfect! Oh, by the way, can you get ’Di E Crystals’?" Liu Zhenhuan suddenly remembered his Fiat Longsword.

"Your Majesty, you’re joking again," the old Lich Sula rolled his eyes.

Even Liu Zhenhuan laughed. It seemed such crystals were essentially the Demon World equivalent of Jing Gold—he had struck a lucky find there.

"Let’s move on," Sula suggested, realizing that this new Left Bank appointment was steadfast in his resolve to leverage military merit in his climb to prominence.

"Let’s start with the first item..." Liu Zhenhuan organized his thoughts. "Do you have smoke-shadowed crystal testing towers?"

"Of course! High-quality ones are questionable, but we have inventory ranging from ten Hertz to one hundred Hertz capacities. Altogether, there’s a stockpile of over a hundred testing towers, mostly under fifty Hertz capacities. Would that suffice for testing the abilities of your subordinates?"

"I don’t need that many—just give me half, and I’ll stick to the mid-range models," Liu Zhenhuan said cheerfully, already imagining how it might make recruiting priests and apprentices much easier in the future. "Elder Sula, how many teleportation crystals do you have?"

"We have plenty of teleportation crystals in stock. I’m not sure how many you want. Such equipment shouldn’t require buying, right?"

"Let’s aim for twenty thousand Moka worth!" Liu Zhenhuan felt a surge of anxiety. Such a purchase volume would undoubtedly raise suspicions if noticed by the wrong people. Still, it couldn’t be helped. Teleportation crystals were incomparably rare in the Aegean Continent, typically reserved for royalty. Snagging thirteen tons of it now would allow him to rake in profits later by setting up a commercial network and expanding his business empire across the continent!
