Chapter 318: "Fair" Chance
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Lydia kept coaxing and pestering, hoping to get something from Angor, but Angor remained completely unresponsive.
When Lydia grew so impatient that she would use force, another female voice suddenly came from her pocket. “Enough, Lydia. We are keeping it from you for a good reason. If you really wish to know, join Brute Cavern personally, and I’ll tell you myself.”
It was Lady Mirror’s voice.
Back at Tree Spirit Palace, Sunders told them that the solution to the current crisis was to send Angor to Twilight Well.
He never said why. Tree Spirit and Lady Mirror seemed to have an idea, yet they didn’t tell. They only gave Angor several meaningful gazes for some reason.
And neither Tree Spirit nor Lady Mirror could leave Brute Cavern easily, so Lydia offered to escort Angor to Midnight Sovereign. At the same time, Tree Spirit left a connection going since he “had too much energy to spare”.
“Fine, since Lady Mirror said so,” Lydia huffed and shut her mouth.
Lydia thought for a while before she said to Angor, “I have a quest for you. Help me bring the Moas out of there. Only one would do.”
Angor looked at Lydia, then at Tree Spirit and Lady Mirror. He gulped and tried to resist the suppressive aura of a powerful wizard.
“Do… What do I get in return?”
Lydia squinted her eyes malevolently. “You’re asking for a price, from me? I see. No wonder you’re Sunders’ student. You’re the first level-1 apprentice who dares to bargain with me.”
Lydia intentionally displayed her aura, and Angor almost knelt down under the great pressure. Lady Mirror and Tree Spirit only watched from the side out of interest without any intention to intervene.
Angor bit his lips so hard that a drop of blood came out.
“Alright then,” Lydia said as she removed her aura. “What do you want to get?”
Angor panted badly. He was thinking about asking for the eyeless man, but he gave up on second thought—he overestimated his place.
He could ask such a thing only on the condition that Lady Mirror and Tree Spirit helped him. From what he saw, no one really considered him a necessary asset even though the Midnight Sovereign was in a dire situation.
The bane of being a weakling.
“I wish… hah… hah,” he said with cold sweat on his face. “I wish Lady Lotus can grant me a ‘personal chance’—”
Lydia almost moved to slap Angor.
How dare this ignorant brat covet my body?
Lady Mirror and Tree Spirit also exchanged a surprised look at Angor’s bold move.
“… Ha… I hope you give me a chance to purchase the eyeless man,” Angor said. He finally finished his sentence.
Everyone remained speechless.
Lydia didn’t kill Angor already because a pair of cold gazes had been watching her back. And what Angor just said convinced her that her anger wasn’t necessary.
“The eyeless man?? I see… You did all those hubbubs at the grand auction just for him, right?” Lydia considered it before she said, “Fine. If you bring me a Moa alive, I’ll give you a fair chance to buy him. As for the price… 3 million crystals. If you can pay the money, I’ll give you the eyeless man, in one piece.”
Three million magic crystals. Ten times the final bid of the slave!
Even wizards would never collect that kind of money easily. Not even half. And Lydia simply presented such a price to Angor.
Angor nodded without a second thought. “Okay. I accept!”
