'She should be able to help .' Alex thought, seeing the bunny demi-human lady at the front desk.
"Beautiful lady, I want to et a person with high authority in this shop," Alex said as he placed his guest noble badge on the counter.
Alex knew the shop was not selling the chira at to anybody with money, so he decided you use his noble authority, which was more than enough to get him privileged benefits.
"Noble Earl, do you want to et with the shop manager or the owner?" The bunny lady asked as she stood up from her seat with an alard look.
"I would appreciate your help if you could inform the shop owner about ," Alex replied.
"Please sit on this chair and wait for a few minutes while I go and inform the shop owner of your presence." The bunny lady said, clearly not used to talking with any nobles.
After seeing Alex sitting on the chair, the bunny lady walked toward the stairs leading to the second floor with quick steps.
------------------
"He should be the owner." Alex thought, seeing a fat man wearing ornate clothes walking down the stairs in a hurry.
"Noble Earl, How can this humble shop owner be of any help to your esteem self." The man asked while trying very hard to control his heavy breathing.
'He must be on this building's highest floor and ran all the way to reach here quickly.' Alex thought, seeing his condition.
"Shop Owner, we could discuss my request, but before you should calm down, your rough breathing," Alex said, seeing the man's face turning red with every passing mont.
"Noble Earl, My na is Yanric, and How can I help you." The owner asked.
"My na is Hidden One and I heard your shop has a complete carcass of a Rank Five Mutated chira for sale?" Alex asked.
"Sir, Your information is correct. My shop has a carcass of a mutated chira, but there are few small issues."
"The carcass is not complete as its lion and goat head are already sold, but I can sell you the remaining body at a discounted price," Yanric said, visibly calr after hearing the demand.
'I never planned to buy the whole body, but getting a discount would only save money, so who cares.'
Alex has researched on the forums about how much a Rank five beast at would cost, and the price was as ridiculous as he expected.
A single gram of a Rank five beast's at would cost two silver coins, which was not much, but a Rank five beast has a giant body.
Its total weight would easily cross a few thousand kilograms making the whole carcass at worth more than a million gold coins, and that was the price of a normal beast because if the beast was a variant, the price would only increase.
"I want first to see the Chira's body, and then we could discuss whether we will have a deal or not," Alex said in a dissatisfied tone, clearly showing he wasn't happy with the information Yanric told him.
"Sir, If you are not dissatisfied with the sll of so blood, I can show you the chira body right now," Yanric said.
"Lead the way," Alex said.
---------------------
Yanric led Alex to the shop basent, which was massive in size, with its floor covered in blood and the basent air carrying the thick sll of rust and an incredible amount of mana.
"This beauty is the Mutated Chira you heard about," Yanric said as his magic ring flashed and a giant body of a monstrosity got teleported on the floor.
'How the hell did soone kill this monstrosity without seriously injuring it in battle?' Alex questioned, seeing the seventy feet body of the chira without any visible injuries.
The chira has the body of a pitch-black lion, with its hind legs being that of a goat, and they were at least four tis more muscular than its front legs, which helped the creature beco agile even with his massive body size and wait.
The chira frond legs were thin compared to its hind legs, but they were still massive, and both of his paws had four sharp blades like claws and a massive red and purple snake at its tail.
The chira's head was missing, but even then, its body looked nothing less of a natural wonder, and the mana gathering around its dead body was overwhelming, making the very air around it suffocating to breathe for Alex.
"Yanric, Can you tell which [Elental Ruler] Killed this chira?" Alex asked, knowing anyone with a lower strength level would never be able to kill a Rank five chira without destroying its body.
Alex ca to such a conclusion because an Elental Ruler was soone who had achieved the legendary Seventh Rank and had created his Beginner Elental Domain, and only a person at that level could kill a Rank five chira without leaving a scratch on its body.
A seventh-Rank warrior could easily kill anyone with the strength of Sixth Rank or below as there was a great chasm between the sixth and seventh Rank.
The power system in the Ancient world was divided into Nine Ranks, and these Nine Ranks were separated into three different sections.
The first three Ranks were called the [Mortal Ranks], with the following three being the [Elentalist Ranks], and the last three Ranks were called the [Elent Ruler Ranks].
"Sir, This poor chira didn't die at the hands of a Noble [Elental Ruler], but he killed himself with his foolishness,"
"We believe this chira died while he was trying to build a connection between his elental core and heart to make a forceful evolution."
"This beast tried to link his elental core with his heart, and because of his failed attempt, the elental core destroyed his heart, giving him a painful death."
Yanric briefly explained how the chira's foolishness to gain more strength and do a forceful evolution took his own life.
'What a cheesy way to lie.' Alex thought after hearing Yanric explanation.
Alex believed Yanric's explanation to be a big lie because everyone with a beast companion knew that a beast successfully linking its elental core with its heart had an abysmal chance of success, and link failure would guarantee a painful death.
Alex knew Rank Five beasts have intelligence like humans, and every beast at that level of strength and intelligence would know this information, so finding a beast willing to gamble a guaranteed death for his evolution was close to zero.
'Who cares which [Elental Ruler] killed this chira.' Alex thought as he walked toward the creature to have a close look.
'I like to know if I can buy this whole tail with the money I had on ?' Alex thought, seeing the massive snake tail of the chira.
"What is the price of the chira tail, including the snake head elental core?" Alex asked after walking a full circle around the chira carcass.
The majority of the beast would only develop one elental core after achieving Rank five, but there were few exceptions, and chira was one of them who developed three different elental cores for each of his heads.
"Sir, the poison elent core of the snake head is damaged very badly, so it is not worth any value, but if you wait for so ti, I could arrange a poison elent core," Yanric replied with a forced smile.
'I didn't say anything about his blatant lie before as it does not affect , but now he is just taking as an idiot.'
"I will buy the damaged elent core, so give a price," Alex said and waited for Yanric to co up with a new explanation.
"Sir, If you are interested in the damaged core, then you can have it as a gift, and next ti you want to buy so high-Ranking beast body parts, please rember to contact ," Yanric replied, not bothered by Alex's demand.
'This is interesting.' Alex thought, seeing the opposite reaction to what he was expecting from Yanric.
"Sir, we should go upstairs and have so nice tea while we wait for my workers to cut the chira tail into smaller pieces," Yanric said and waited for Alex's reply.
"How much ti would your workers take to remove the snake hide without destroying it and clean and cut the at into smaller portions?"
Alex asked the crucial question as he was short on ti and would rather leave the city with the entire snake tail and pay extra to so other butcher to complete the job.
"Sir, My worker would complete the job in the sa ti it would take us to drink so refreshing tea."
"If your worker can't complete the job in fifteen minutes, then ask soone to cut the tail cleanly, and I will take the entire thing," Alex replied, not buying his sweet talk.
"Sir, fifteen minutes should be more than enough ti."
'He clearly wants to talk about sothing.'
"I don't have much ti, so ask your workers to work fast.' Alex said as he walked toward the stairs.
Alex could tell Yanric wanted to ask him about sothing, and he decided to hear it because if he could make a good relationship with a butcher who could provide him high Ranking beast at at a discounted price for so help, then it was a great deal.
