Chapter 507 Complete Transaction

Chapter 507 Complete Transaction

The three Summons he discovered on the second Grimoire were actually quite impressive. They were all pixies!

They were called Spell Pixies, to be exact.

As Eustace read through their descriptions, he realized that even though they have interesting abilities, they actually use a considerable amount of the Summoner's energy to be summoned out. Aside from that, each of them requires at least 8 Spirit Strands to maintain their summon.

It was no wonder that they were being traded...

However, the fact that these Spell Pixies were support-type summons and capable of staying outside forever once summoned, Eustace would certainly not give up on them. They were perfect companions for a multi-arcane arts Practitioner like him.

"I can give you a discount... However, are you not going to take a look at the third Grimoire?" Manager Maurine asked.

"I'll check it now."

Eustace smiled as he closed the white Grimoire and opened the fishscale Grimoire.

He skimmed through the lower-quality ones and saw that most of the Creatures here are mostly water-attribute creatures.

Well, he expected this a bit after checking the red Grimoire. Anyway, he soon realized that this Grimoire was quite incredible... The Summoner who was probably trading this was out of their mind.

"Manager Maurine... From the one-ability Summons to the four-ability Summons, I can tell that they are impressive. The two four-ability Summons were even two Savage Murlocs... There should be a lot of Summoners who'd want to have them. Is there a problem with them?" Eustace inquired.

Maurine expected that Eustace would know the value of the Murlocs, so she had already prepared an answer.

"As you said, the Savage Murlocs are impressive. They are killing machines once brought to a body of water like a lake or even just a swamp... However, they only have one ability. The three inactive abilities they have could never be activated. After investigation, they'll require some sort of blessing or perhaps baptism before they can use the three other spells. Unfortunately, because the transfer of four-ability Summons would cost the same, we can't change their price." Maurine explained.

Eustace nodded at this explanation as he closed the Grimoire.

He went silently for a while as he started contemplating what he should do.

Manager Maurine took this as an opportunity to help Eustace decide.

"How about this... If you sell us the Emberstrike Feather and Blackheart Stone, we'll give six four-ability Summons to you. The feather was appraised as 50,000 zen or higher, while the stone was given 80,000 zen of value, which could increase even more if we involved the Psychic Arts Faction."

Eustace's eyes lit up after hearing this.

Two Mystical Artifacts in exchange for six strong Summons that don't require monthly maintenance and don't have negative effects when used... That seemed to be a good deal for him.nOVe-lB/In

Furthermore, six four-ability Summons should be worth 240,000 zen!

However, he had to choose which Summons he should trade.

The Three-Tailed Fox, Sun Gelding, three Spell Pixies, and two Savage Murlocs. There is one that would not be selected.

As Eustace thought of not selecting the fox, he suddenly recalled that he still had other items in his possession that he could sell...

"Wait, Manager Maurine. I want to get all the high-tier Summons. I'll sell another item. Take a look at this." Eustace said as he took out an Ancient Book.

Yvaine sneakily gave it to him under the table.

This Ancient Book came from the Dark Soul Tower in the Academy. He wasn't sure about its usage, but he could tell that it had some value.

"This book looks interesting..." Maurine muttered as she saw the old book that was covered by anti-inspection spells.

"Where did you get this?" Maurine asked.

Eustace could tell that Maurine had an interest in books, seeing how her room had shelves with ancient tomes on display.

"I got it from a certain Tower. I heard it was valuable, but I'm not sure about its usage. I've been keeping it with me all this time, but I never had a chance to use it." Eustace answered.

"Can I take a look at it?" Maurine asked.

"Go ahead, Manager Maurine... You can take your time." Eustace answered as he observed the Manager.

Maurine browsed the thick book filled with ancient text that Eustace could not read ever since he acquired it.

It wasn't Oardic or any language taught in the Academy after all.

In a few moments, Maurine sighed as she realized that she could barely understand the tome.

"This book seemed to contain a lot of rituals... Most of it is related to possession or soul transfer... This is quite dangerous." Maurine muttered.

lightsΝοvεl ƈοm Eustace nodded as he realized that this book was indeed quite useless to him. Furthermore, he already considered this to be harmful since the Dark Soul Tower's Tower Master doesn't seem to be a reliable person... or spirit.

"I see... Do you think it's enough to get all the seven high-tier Summons?" Eustace asked.

Maurine hesitated for a moment as he considered a few things...

In the end, after thinking that the Blackheart Stone could fetch a very high price if they contacted the Psychic Arts Faction, she made a decision.

In any case, the reason the Gold Club was prospering was because of their connection to the Psychic Arts Faction.

If they were able to inform them that an item they might be interested in would be sold in the Auction House, they would undoubtedly be rewarded just for the information.

Manager Maurine agreed to Eustace's offer, accepting the Emberstrike Feather, Blackheart Stone, and Ancient Ritual Tome as payment for the seven high-tier Summons.

Eustace couldn't help but smile, relieved that his proposition had been accepted.

"Excellent... Now, let's proceed with the transfer. How should we go about it?" Eustace asked in excitement.

Maurine explained that there was no elaborate ceremony required for the transfer. It could be completed swiftly and efficiently.

She called upon the Summoners, who were the owners of the Grimoires in question, all of whom appeared to be in their forties.

Eustace surmised that they were likely fellow customers of the prestigious Gold Club, given their prompt arrival.

Without delving too deeply into their personal circumstances, Eustace brushed aside any thoughts about why these Summoners may have found themselves in a position to part with their cherished Summons. It was of no concern to him; he focused solely on obtaining these remarkable summons.

The transfer process commenced, and to Eustace's surprise, it was a relatively straightforward affair. Within just five minutes, the Summoners tore out the respective pages containing the high-tier Summons and placed them into Eustace's Grimoire. A brief chant sealed the transfer, solidifying the connection between the powerful beings and their new master.

The torn pages turn normal before turning into ashes.

Once the transfer was complete, the Summoners left the office without even talking to Eustace.

Maurine, pleased with the successful transaction, extended an invitation to Eustace.

"Now that the transfer is done, I invite you to attend the Auction that will take place tomorrow," Maurine announced, her voice brimming with anticipation.
