"Alright, if you want my recomndation that badly then I will tell you the price. Two special mortal souls, not just any special mortal souls I want your and her souls, that's the price you will have to pay for my recomndation to devil rchant code for you to beco a demon rchant," Belphegor answered grudgingly, he seed to be a little thrilled and looking forward to what I will say next.
"Belphegor, what are special mortal souls?" I asked looking at the devil with a sneer.
Now that the devil had asked special mortal souls in exchange for its recomndation it had made my questions relevant and related to trade, this way Belphegor had to answer my question to the best of his knowledge.
"..." the jet-black monster worm glared at silently for a while and I did not rush it as I was enjoying its irritation. Afterward, it said, "Special mortal souls are mortal souls that have undergone enlightennt or mutation to gain unique abilities. When these special mortal souls enter the river of souls and step into the cycle of reincarnation, they can carry the unique abilities they had gained through enlightennt or mutation to their next life and other lives to co."
Listening to the explanation of the jet-black monster worm I understood what characterized a mortal soul as a special mortal soul. But I wondered if my soul was a special mortal soul even before I mutated it into a mutated soul with multiple consciousnesses. Since my soul had transmigrated to this world with no notable side effects I would like to believe that even if it did not et the criteria to be a special mortal soul according to Belphegor's definition, it had sothing special about it.
They say we are born with nothing and die with nothing but the special mortal souls proved that saying wrong. So I felt good knowing that I will be able to carry my mutated soul to the next life if I have one.
Now I knew what a special soul was but I did not understand why these special souls were an attraction to the devil so much that it was willing to suffer such humiliation and embarrassnt under a mortal's hand. I an being able to be reborn with unique abilities was good and all but why does the devil care so much about it? What use does the devil have for these special mortal souls?
Speaking of people with special mortal physiques I knew three people who would fit this description, Corey, Clown Mask, and Cortney. I am not so sure about Clown Mask and Cortney but Corey definitely had a special mortal soul.
Wait, wasn't Corey park a demon in one of Corey's past life? Maybe I should talk to her about this. Hopefully, she will have the answers to my questions. Because as much as I would like to bicker with Belphgor and get the answers I wanted, I don't think Anna's body would be able to hold that long. So it was about ti I comnced my plan.
"Belphegor, I don't feel that your recomndation is worth two special souls, especially not mine and her souls. How about a 1000 dian quality soul jades? That sounds fair," I said pointing my monster worm head at the semi-demigod sneak attacking Anna non-stop.
"1000 dian quality soul jades for a devil's recomndation to beco a demon rchant, have you lost your mind? And you have the gals to call it fair," Belphegor lashed out in rage, hearing the price his custor put forward he felt like the custor was shaming him.
"What about you, how is it any fair price to ask two special souls for a recomndation?" I snapped back at Belphegor.
"Fine, then, what do you think is the fair price for my recomndation to the devil rchant code to make you a demon rchant?" Belphegor let decide the price for his recomndation.
"As if you would trade with if I were to state the fair price," I said enunciating to the Belphegor that he only said this to check my bottom line and did not plan to make a trade with .
This way Belphegor could deliberately state a price higher than my bottom line forcing to take a loan with high-interest rates. In a fair trade, this practice would be called malpractice but the devil rchant code had no rules against this. This was why I said the devil rchant code favored the devil/demon rchants over the custors.
"Kid, in witness of the devil rchant code, I, Devil Belphegor, promise you that if the price you are willing to pay for my recomndation is fair, I will make this exchange right away," Belphegor said so because he felt that with the realm of his custor, he would not be able to fork out anything except his special mortal soul that would be considered as a fair exchange for his recomndation. If the custor were to exchange his special mortal soul then well and good, it aligned with his interest.
Was Belphegor not worried that his custor would be able to fork out sothing of valve other than his special mortal soul? After all, it was wearing an SSS-rank item on its body. No, he was not because he knew this item did not belong to the custor but to his sponsor. And not to ntion a devil's recomndation to the devil rchant code was worth a lot more than an SSS-rank item. Belphegor was confident that even his custor's sponsor wouldn't be able to co up with an item that would be considered a fair trade for his recomndation quota.
"Wait, what?" I was taken aback by Belphegor's sudden promise with the devil rchant code was a witness because for devil rchants this was similar and as serious as the card apprentice taking oath in witness of the world's will. aning if I were to co up with sothing fair in exchange for his recomndation, as long as I want him to, Belphegor would have to undergo the exchange.
Why would Belphegor do this to himself? Did he suddenly get cocky thinking that soone of my realm will not be able to get sothing of equal value in exchange for his recomndation for the devil rchant code to make a demon rchant? If he did that then that would be a really dumb move for a devil but a lot easier for to achieve my agenda.
