Chapter 807 - Trade
From all the interactions they had so far, Silva knew for a fact that the old man was definitely more than what he was showing. Hence, when she saw Ery was reluctant to answer the other party's question, she quickly jumped into the conversation.
"Mister, I am sure this is very valuable to you…" She said with a smile. "I think two hundred, no, four hundred thousand will be an appropriat-"
Ery, however, interrupted Silva by holding her shoulder and pulling her back. As the two of them locked eyes with each other, Ery shook his head before breaking the eye contact and turning his eye to the old man again.
"You can have it, Senior. The initial price of fifty thousand is more than enough for it."
Ery had bought the [Twilight Fey Booster] for less than 50,000 spirit stones, so in a way, he had not suffered the slightest loss in terms of monetary value. What's more, seeing how amazing the research the other party was doing made him more than happy to have a chance to be able to contribute to the project.
Moreover, just now, the old man had rendered Ery a trendous assistance, allowing him to understand the nature elent better and deeper. Hence, the reasons for his approval.
"Ahh, thank you, young man." The old man smiled warmly. "But I have also promised you so herbs to trade for the booster. So please, if you find anything that you like or need, ask away and I will give them to you. After all, as you can see here, I have many collections."
Hearing that, Ery turned left and right as his eyes road around. "All of them look wonderful, Senior, I really don't know where to start." It will probably take hours for him to analyze these thousands of different plants to finally choose the one he wants.
Then, he fell silent for a second, between the fact that Silva was eager to return soon, and how 50,000 more won't help him get another of the day wolf serum he said
"I'm more than happy to give the booster to you, and upon further thought, you can keep the spirit stone as well."
After saying those words, Ery did a moderate bow to the old man and turned his body around, ready to leave. However, Silva grabbed his arm and pulled him slightly to stop him in his tracks.
"Are you an idiot?! Err, umm, I an, please use your brain a little, will you?" Silva glared at Ery. "That booster is very valuable for your bloodline advancent. You shouldn't give it away freely like that! At least, you should ask for sothing in return!"
Seeing Silva suddenly becoming agitated, Ery was reminded that she and her clan had helped a lot in the making of the serum. Hence, it was only natural for her to be angry at his act of giving it away carelessly.
"I'm sorry, Silva, I already gave it to him, I will make it up to you later."
Silva seed to beco even more agitated when she heard Ery's words. She looked like she was about to explode and deliver another round of scolding, but she quickly cald herself down by taking a deep breath.
Even though Ery knew his current action seed unresponsible, he really wishes to help the old man's research. So, he could only appease the girl's agitation for the mont.
He turned around and walked towards the exit when, this ti, the old man stopped him.
"Young man, please wait a mont."
"Is there anything else, Senior?" Ery asked after turning around.
"Did I just hear that this booster was made specifically and ant for you? Is this true?"
Ery nodded his head. "Yes, Senior. It was made based on my bloodline, actually."
When he heard Ery's reply, the old man suddenly looked elated as if he had found a treasure. "Ah, why didn't you say so earlier?" He picked up the [Twilight Fey Booster] that was on the table and, with a small gesture of his hand, flew it back to Ery.
"This item is certainly very important to you then" The old man then continues his words with much anticipation
"Actually, your blood should be enough for my research… if you are willing it will be much help to if you can stay here for so ti and go through so tests."
When he heard this, Ery reflexively glanced at Silva as he knew that the girl wanted to get back as soon as possible. He stared at the old man and said, "I'm afraid that cannot be done, Senior. Actually, we are really in a hurry to get back."
A look of realization appeared on the old man's face. "Ah, a visitor, aren't you? Yes, yes, I understand your concerns. After all, the longer you are in Alfa, the further you will be from your ho."
The old man seed to contemplate sothing for a mont before he turned to Ery and smiled. "How about this? If you are willing to stay and help with the research just for a day or two, I will definitely repay you by teaching you so of my skills and expertise. What do you think?"
It was certainly a great offer that made both Ery and Silva startled. To be able to be taught a skill by a grandmaster was definitely a fortune that many only dread to achieve. Still, Ery looked towards Silva.
Noticing the gaze, the girl understood and therefore gave him a nod.
"Don't worry. this is a precious opportunity. We can afford to stay a few more days, so you should accept it."
Silva was unexpectedly supportive this ti around. It was after all uncommon for a master, even more, a grandmaster to teach their secrets. Nevertheless, Ery didn't waste ti and agreed to the offer, which he then quickly jumped into the research and helped the old man.
Before Ery busied himself with the old man, Silva told him that rather than waiting here doing nothing, it will be a better use of her ti to prepare other things so that later when Ery's done, they could go straight back to Ouroboros Planet.
Silva also said she will go to the shop and hearing about this Ery gave Silva 200,000 spirit stones to buy one vial of the Day Wolf gene. The two of them then parted ways.
Once she left the do-like place, Silva imdiately went ahead and checked who the old man really was. What she found shocked her.
Just by simply checking the owner of the Spectrum Garden, Silva discovered that the old man was apparently one of the 12 elders of Alfa City and known as The Arbor Master. He was the one who ticulously created the entire ecosystem of the upper level that turned the place into a paradise.
The man, Arbor Master, was apparently never cared much for wealth and only his research, hence why he looked the way he is now.
Realizing that Ery was truly in good hands, Silva was finally convinced and willing to persuade the magus bodyguards to stay a few more days.
This was not exactly how Silva imagined she would spend her last few days with Ery in Alfa City, but the opportunity Ery managed to get was definitely sothing good for his future nonetheless.
It was actually convenient that Ery was busy doing sothing else, as Silva also has another plan of her own. When she arrived at the main shop, instead of one she bought all 6 Day Wolf Gene Serum. She knew Ery will not allow her if he was around. Moreover, she also purchased the two swords that caught her fancy, the one she tested with Ery, the black and white swords. Both items took all her savings away but she didnt care.
"Well, he is joining the clan anyway. I'm sure mother will understand."
