Chapter 1512 Signing a deal
"First, let's meet the Blood Vampire King."
Ajax decided to meet the Blood Vampire King first because he was the first cultivator to send him the gift and request to become friends.
'I will meet him after I take the plant essence.'
Ajax had yet to receive the plant essence from the auction house. So, he decided to wait before meeting the Blood Vampire King.
'Knock'
After waiting a few minutes, someone came to give him the plant essence while talking about the Normal World Core from Ajax.
"Trader, this is the special entry pass for the trader to participate in our future auctions without any entry fees."
The elf woman didn't leave after the exchange; instead, she gave him a golden-coloured pass to Ajax and explained its use.
"Okay"
Even though Ajax was excited that he could enter the future auctions without paying the entry fee, he looked nonchalant on the surface.
From the beginning, Ajax gave off an aura of a young master from a powerful family and acted like nothing could pique his interest.
So, he continued to maintain that aura and acted nonchalantly.
'Swiish'
As soon as Ajax took the golden pass, the golden pass turned into light particles and entered Ajax's body.
"The respected trader doesn't have to carry it. The moment the trader entered the auction house, everyone working in the auction house would respectfully guide you to this special chamber 7."
Seeing the confused look on Ajax's face, the elf woman explained about it.
"Is that so?"
Ajax returned to his 'Young master from a powerful family' look and nodded his head.
"Yes, Sir Trader. I will take my leave now. I hope Sir Trader will continue to visit our auction house."
After saying those words, the elf woman quietly left the special chamber 7.
'I think I can go and meet the Blood Vampire King.'
Ajax knew which special chamber the Blood Vampire King was staying in. So, he decided to go there and discuss their future deals.
The reason why everyone wants to become friends with him is because of his world cores.
So, of course, Ajax was going to use the world cores to get valuable resources from the other worlds.
'Swoosh'
Just as he was about to leave his special chamber, the spirit from earlier appeared in front of him.
"Respected trader, the Blood Vampire King has invited you to join in the special trader's chamber. Do you want to enter?"
The spirit asked Ajax with a face full of respect.
"Special Trader's Chamber? What is it?"
Ajax didn't hesitate to ask about it because the young spirit in front of him was the same spirit that welcomed him into the trader's realm.
Since she already knew he was a new trader, Ajax asked about it.
"A special trader's chamber is a place where two traders could discuss their deals and sign a contract in the presence of a spirit belonging to the trader's realm."
The spirits of the trader's realm were like servants in the trader's realm, and their purpose was to help the cultivators entering the trader's realm in their trades.
Of course, answering their questions was also their main purpose.
Therefore, the young spirit answered Ajax's question with a respectful look on her face.
"Oh."
Ajax nodded his head after hearing the spirit's reply and decided to enter the special trader's chamber.
'Swoosh'
As soon as Ajax agreed, his body disappeared from the special chamber 7 and appeared in a place that was completely covered in white mist.
"Thank you for coming here on such short notice, [Harbinger of the destruction]."
As Ajax was checking his surroundings, he heard a male voice, and soon, a handsome young man who looked to be in his early twenties appeared in his vision.
"Blood Vampire King?"
Ajax greeted with some confusion on his face.
"Yes. Please sit and have this mind-soothing tea."
The Blood Vampire King was sitting on a chair, and in front of him, there was a table with two cups on it.
"Okay."
Ajax didn't think much and sat before drinking the tea.
'Ding,
The host consumed the mind-soothing tea.
'Ding,
The host's spirit consciousness's capacity is increased by 100 units.
'What?'
The moment he took a sip of the mind-soothing tea, Ajax received a couple of system notifications that gave him quite a shock.
Who would not get shocked if their spirit consciousness's capacity increased by 100 units by taking a sip of tea?
'Ajax, control yourself and maintain the vibe.'
Nevertheless, he was shocked and asked, "Let's not waste any time and get straight to the point."
While saying that, Ajax took another sip which increased his spirit consciousness capacity by another 100 units.
'He is using such a valuable tea to welcome someone whom he was going to meet for the first time. No wonder the world of the rich is completely different.'
Ajax could not help but take another sip.
If such a tea appeared in the Purple Stone World, it would lead to bloodshed without a doubt; however, the Blood Vampire King was using it as a regular.
"Sure."
The reason Ajax said that they should directly get to the point was that he didn't know what to speak with the Blood Vampire King.
Nevertheless, the Blood Vampire King was also straightforward and nodded his head.
"I want world cores. Whether it was a smaller world core or a normal world core, I am willing to buy it."
After sipping his tea, the Blood Vampire King directly said what he wanted from Ajax.
"I only had a normal world core which I used to exchange for the plant essence."
Ajax was not surprised by the Blood Vampire King's words as he had already expected it. So, he said, "However, I can provide you the smaller world cores once in a while. What do you say?"
'Once in a while means exactly how many years?"
The Blood Vampire King wanted to know the exact details. So, he asked how many years he had to wait to get a single smaller world core.
'Years? When did I say years?'
Ajax was surprised by the Blood Vampire King's words because Ajax could easily get a single smaller world core per day using Alder's ability.
If he used the ability of other devour eagle kings, that would be 20 smaller world cores in a month.
Unlike Alder's ability, the cooldown for the ten devour eagle kings was 15 days. So, they could use their ability twice a month.
In total, Ajax could easily get 50 smaller world cores in a month through the devour eagle kings.
'I still have eight exploration teams with more or less the same speed as the devour eagle kings. So, that will be another 16 smaller world cores.'
Ajax could get so many smaller world cores in a month. So, he didn't understand why the Blood Vampire King thought he would provide a single smaller world core every few years.
It was not the Blood Vampire King's fault because the world-conquering sect known for its ability to retrieve the world cores from the worlds said it would take years to retrieve a single world core.
So, the Blood Vampire King misunderstood that Ajax could provide a smaller world core once in a few years.
"I will provide a smaller world core once every month; however, what will you trade it for?"
Since Ajax was getting more than 60 smaller world cores in a month, he had no problem trading a few of them in the trader's realm for other treasures.
Therefore, he asked what the Blood Vampire King was willing to provide in return for the smaller world core.
'What? A smaller world core for every month?'
The Blood Vampire King was schoked by Ajax's words and looked at him in a new light.
Moreover, he understood something from Ajax's words and said,
"I will pay the earlier price of 30 million trader tokens for each world core and a legend-grade treasure from my Greater Vampire World to maintain our trading relationship for as long as possible."
Before Ajax entered the special trader's chamber, the Blood Vampire King thought he would use 15 million trader's tokens in exchange for the smaller world core.
However, when he heard Ajax was willing to provide a smaller world core every month, the Blood Vampire King doubled the trader's tokens and even added a small gift for Ajax every month.
'30 million trader's tokens and a legend-grade treasure from the Greater Vampire World?'
Ajax was shocked by the price the Blood Vampire King quotes; however, he suppressed it and replied, "Deal."
Ajax did not need to hesitate because the price was already out of his expectations. So, Ajax directly agreed to it.
The Blood Vampire King was also satisfied with Ajax's behaviour.
In most cases, the seller would try to raise the price even though he was already offered to pay a high price; however, Ajax directly agreed without complaining about the price.
Soon, they signed a contract in the presence of a young spirit belonging to the trader's realm.
"Harbinger of Destruction, see you in 30 days."
Their deal starts next month. So, the Blood Vampire King said those words and left the trader's chamber.
….
Soon, he exited that trader's chamber and appeared in the special chamber of the auction house.
'I wonder who I should meet now.'
While thinking about it, Ajax came out of his special chamber and was surprised to see all the special participants waiting for him outside his chamber.
