Chapter 463 Mutual Benefit
A problematic negotiation began with this abundance of resources.
A stable success rate was the most important consideration for a qualified esoteric adept.
After a period of consideration, Greem reported his success rate to Adept Fügen as 17% for Second Grade elementium cores, and 36% for First Grade elementium cores.
Due to unavoidable energy loss, all elementium golems and their cores would devalue by a certain degree during the crafting process. For example, it was already decent that Second Grade elementium cores could end up as First Grade peak-level after passing through Greem’s hands.
Greem himself hadn’t even reached Second Grade. He had no concept or idea of the real power of a Second Grade adept. Apart from knowing that any attack from a Second Grade adept could reach a terrifying number of two hundred points, Greem knew nothing about them.
That was why he couldn’t possibly go beyond his grade and forge a true Second Grade golem, regardless of how talented he was!
Of course, Adept Fügen couldn’t possibly be so trusting of the base success rate that Greem gave him. However, he still had basic knowledge about the professions of golem masters and puppet masters. An ordinary esoteric adept’s success rate when crafting a First Grade elementium golem was roughly around 42%; that wasn’t much higher compared to Greem. Not to mention that Greem’s golems were all modified and improved golems. They took up less Spirit, consumed less magical power, and were more powerful!
Greem was slightly shocked. He now knew that the change to Billis hadn’t managed to escape Adept Fügen’s senses. He could only nod and acknowledge the advice.
Once the negotiations with the clan were complete, they signed a magical contract that lasted for as long as twenty years. It was only then that Greem used Feidnan City’s teleportation array to return to Fire Throne. Meryl and Billis returned with him in this manner. Sabrina and the other apprentices, on the other hand, would have to go back by themselves.
The base price of a single person using the long-ranged teleportation array was two thousand magical crystals. Three people together would be six thousand. If it weren’t because the clan chose to exempt them from the fee, Greem would not have been willing to spend this much money to save four days journey.
In truth, it wasn’t that Adept Fügen had become more generous this time. Instead, it was because he couldn’t accept the possible risks that Greem would have to take on an ordinary trip back.
Apart from being a powerful combat adept, Flame Demon Greem was also an exceptional golem crafter. Such rumors had already spread throughout the central area of the continent. Letting Greem go back to Fire Throne on his own under such circumstances was an unforgivably dangerous act!
To prevent anything from happening on the way, Fügen could only consent to exempt Greem’s teleportation fee!
…………
The brilliant light from the teleportation array faded away.
Greem shook his dizzy head. When his vision finally settled down, he saw Gargamel holding a staff in one hand, a scroll in the other, and biting a potion vial between his teeth.
Greem hadn’t informed Gargamel before his return. Moreover, he had used the teleportation array within Fire Throne. That was why Gargamel immediately hurried to the array after sensing the commotion in the teleportation room. He brought Eva along with him.
The frail and skinny Gargamel, with his sharp features, opened his round mousy eyes wide as he carefully evaluated the three individuals that had teleported into the tower. He let out a sigh of relief when he saw Greem’s familiar silhouette. He quickly put away his equipment and called over the forest spirit that had been hiding in the shadows. Both of them greeted their master.
In all honesty, Gargamel might not have been much in terms of power, but as a butler, he did an excellent job.
