Lucas's lips curled upwards looking at the ring. A smile of satisfied expression appeared on his face.
The Ring of Karkarass is the key which is used to open historic ruins where the heritage of the King of Karkarass lay.
King of Karkarass was an ancient figure who wanted to achieve immortality. That's why he tried many things to increase in life span.
From asking God's blessing to use necromancy to beco an undead. He tried everything to extend his lifespan. Though becoming an undead lich much can increase his life span but he didn't want to beco an undead skeleton.
He used various people as experints but alas he failed. The ring can open the historic ruins of his palace and enable the people to gain his heritage.
The people who had experinted upon had died their bodies are still preserved and they will listen to and obey the commands of persons who had this ring.
By gaining his heritage, Lucas can get an army of his own who will always listen to his commands and he would have no fear of soone betraying him.
But the only problem was that the ruin is not on the human continent and he had to visit the demon continent.
There are ways humans can travel to the demon continent but for now, it seed impossible for him.
Jas observed Lucas starting at the ring and coughed
Cough...Cough...
Jas coughed seeing Lucas lost in his thoughts.
Jas' cough, woke Lucas up from his thought and he looked at Jas and asked "Oh!! You are saying sothing."
Jas nodded his head and asked, "Do you want to sell the powder or just keep it for yourself?"
Lucas looked at Jas and laughed.
"Pftttt."
"If you want the knights to co knocking at your door for inventing sothing illegal, you can try," Lucas answered.
Gulp.
Jas swallowed his saliva and sighed.
When he worked with Lucas to make that powder like a thing or drug a few days ago he was shocked by the effects of the powder. It was too good to be true.
The thing if used properly can change the entire outco of the battle and if they sell it, he was sure they will earn a hundred tis more than what they can earn from selling battle suits.
Alas, the risk was too great to disclose about it.
Lucas looked at Jas' sorrowful expression and spoke"Jas forget about it for now. The money we will be earning by selling that powder is not worth the risk that we are putting ourselves into."
"Moreover, I have already used everything and to make the things, we required mana crystal. Where will we get mana crystals?" Lucas spoke.
Mana crystals are not open for sale due to their rarity.
Only nobles have excess to it.
If the warrior wanted to buy it, he need to be at least a 5-Star warrior to get permission to buy.
Even if he is a 5-Star, it's not guaranteed that he can buy in shops or actions as they are rarely found there.
"Jas, tell what happened with the production line," Lucas inquired as his expression beca serious.
"It's almost ready. We can start the production of the battle suit very soon in mass quantity" Jas answered.
"Have you found any partners for collaboration," Jas asked curiously.
Many people are aiming to swallow their business even before they can start selling the battle suits so one can imagine how pressure they are going to handle under those greedy people who are eyeing it.
Without any strong backing, it will be surely hard for them to sustain their business. So greedy nobles may even try to steal the way of making the compressed battlesuit and cripple them at the beginning.
"We need to get a strong start," Lucas spoke as his smile widened.
"Read it," Lucas spoke as he took out a stack of paper from his ring and handed it to Jas.
Jas took the docunt and started to read it.
The rustling sound of paper flipping was heard as Jas flipped the pages one by one.
By the ti, he reached the end of the docunt, he was so shocked that his jaw dropped wide.
His eyeball shrink and he looked at the docunt in his hands and Lucas's face.
He pointed at the docunt and asked Lucas"Is it for real."
Lucas gave a playful smile and nodded.
"Really."
"But how...How were you manage to get the duke's support." Jas exclaid in shock.
"No," Lucas spoke and shook his head.
'Ohh! So it was a joke.'Jas took a deep breath. For a mont he was unable to breathe.
Lucas raised two fingers in a victory sign and smirked"It's not Duke. It's Dukes."
"What!!" Jas exclaid with mixed emotions of shock and joy and almost fell on his back.
Lucas laughed seeing Jas' reaction.
"I have the full support of Duke of Warren's house. While we will also have the Duke of Frost's support. We need to wait for his response."Lucas explained.
" Why?"Jas asked with a confused expression.
"Charles is the hier of the Warren household. So, his permission is Duke Warren's permission but Fredrick can't decide all by himself so it will take ti. If everything goes all right, we would have Frost Dukedom support for the business within a few days." Lucas spoke.
"Hmmm. It's great. Even without Frost's household support, we can nail it still with their support would be quite valuable." Jas analysed.
Lucas nodded at Jas' words.
Charles owed Lucas so Lucas used that to get Charles's support while in the case of Fredrick, it was the shares.
Frederick is not going to inherit the Frost Dukedom, so he had to gain a foothold by establishing his things.
Investing in Salus and developing it can give him a good asset for now and on its foundation, he can expand his influence.
But for this to happen, they need to make Salus a greater organisation. For this, they need a good business-minded person.
And who can be better in this regard than Reynolds? He will be handling the selling services for a month's pay.
"By the way, Lucas what was share you offered. I have 20% and you have 80%. So how much will try to get?"Jas asked.
Lucas looked at Jas and answered," Don't worry you will be having your 20% share."
"Fredrick would be getting 7.5% and Warren household would be getting 5%. For their low percentage, Warren house would get a fixed amount of free battle suits from us and for two years we will be giving a 20% discount to the custors that ca to buy the suits from Warren's reference." Lucas explained the deal to Jas.
"Ohh! That's quite a nice deal." Jas raised his thumb to congratulate him.
They were badly in need of soone's support.
Though he was confident in Lucas getting soone, he couldn't imagine that Lucas was able to pull two behemoths onto thier sides.
pᴀɴda nᴏvel With both the Duke's support, our sales will surely be skyrocketed.
Jas' gaze alternated between the docunts and Lucas as he thought about the ti he had t Lucas for the first ti.
At his first eting, Lucas looked like a puppy who was trembling and looked quite tense and nervous. Jas even doubted who this small boy even thought about doing business with.
But within eight months, the lion's cub had grown into a full-fledged adult. His voice and his gaze were brimming with confidence and there is a mature aura around him.
Seeing, Lucas sitting folding his legs he thought that, unlike others who are born to achieve greatness, Lucas was the type of guy who worked harder to achieve greatness.
If things progress well, soon we are going to be drowned in riches.
Lucas flinched as he saw Jas lost in thoughts and laughed greedily with his jaw open.
"Hey, wipe that drool off your face Jas. You look disgusting." Lucas yelled.
"Keke.Sorry." Jas spoke as he wiped his drool.
Jas decided to take a break and moved to switch on the TV.
Lucas stood up and went for a shower to clean his body stained with blood but stopped in his tracks as he saw Jas trembling looking at the tv.
"Jas what happened," Lucas asked.
Jas pointed at the tv with trembling fingers" Lucas look at the tv. The Plaza of Honour."
Lucas looked at the tv to see the destruction in the Plaza of Honour. Still, it was in better condition than the image of the Plaza of Honour that had suddenly flashed in his mind before.
At least it was in one piece unlike his future self where a big crater was ford due to the explosion and inside it, an innurable number of people were burning in it and the crater was filled with charred bodies.
Jas is always busy with his research and rarely used TV. Lucas comforted him and walked away.
On the road, he t with many knights who were searching for the mbers.
Lucas lanted that he didn't know any more base location of the Villain Society. The Information from Azeroth only gave him the location of the bases he is afflicted with.
Since Lucas took care of him it will take ti for that squad to fill up.
So hunting the remaining mber of the squad was quite difficult as most of them must have fled after finding out that their squad mbers died.
Moreover, Lucas wasn't in a position to convey the information as so may doubt him and think he is responsible for killing the people and for the explosion near the slum.
Also while escaping, Lucas noticed many knights gathering in the slums to find the reason for the explosions.
