“Brother Dyson, since our business is settled, when shall we set off?” Although Belek had never met Master Mas, they had been friends for a long time. At this moment, Belek could not wait to transport the alchemical materials.

“Hey, don’t be anxious, President Belek. I think Master Mas will welcome you anytime. However, President Belek, I still have a mission that my master has yet to complete!

My master had asked me to come to the capital to purchase materials, and the second task was to bring back two mage rune engravers to help with the Alchemy Tower. I had heard among the people that you know a pair of elf sisters who were good at mage rune engravings, called Sha You and Leah. Is that true?

If President Belek doesn’t mind, I wonder if you can give my master the two elves?” Mas slowly explained the other reason for his trip.

“Leah, Sha You? Tsk!” Upon hearing that, Belek’s expression changed.

“It’s not that I don’t want to give these two to Master Mas, but brother Dyson, you don’t know. Even if I give these two elf sisters to you, I’m afraid you won’t be able to properly report to Master Mas if you bring them back. I still have a beautiful and higher-level rune engraver under me. Do you want to reconsider?”

“Based on what President Belek said, could it be that there’s some hidden story behind this?” Mas looked at Belek with a faint smile, wanting to see what he could say.

“To tell you the truth, although Leah and Sha You have extremely high magical rune engraving skills, Sha You, as the older sister, suffers from a rare and strange disease that is extremely difficult to treat. It’s called Lou Gehrig’s disease. Cold air will constantly rise from Sha You’s body, and gradually, because of the cold air filling her body, she will lose control of her body and eventually freeze to death.

With her current physical condition, she often needed to use fire-attribute alchemical pills to suppress the cold air in her body. Since you already know about the two sisters, you should have also heard the rumors that I hired advanced Assassin professionals to poison her food. This kind of false rumor was obviously maliciously slandered by other merchant associations.

If I really had such extraordinary means to cause someone to suffer from Lou Gehrig’s disease, I would have long been sent to the gallows by the Emperor of the Storm Empire. ”

Belek sighed as he spoke, glancing at Mas from time to time like a distressed wife.

“I have indeed heard about Lou Gehrig’s disease before. Then what kind of pills do Sha You need to cure her disease?”

“She needs a five-star fire-attribute alchemical pill which is extraordinarily expensive. I need around 600,000 gold coins to buy one. Brother Dyson, I don’t treat you as an outsider. To be honest, although Sha You and Leah’s magic runes are pretty good, they are not worth 600,000 gold coins.”

If you have that kind of need, I can recommend you a better one. As a man, I understand. ”

When he finished speaking, Belek gave a despicable smile that all men understood and looked at Mas. It was understandable that a normal young boy had his needs.

“There’s no need for that, President Belek. Have you ever heard of a saying that not everything in the world can be measured by gold coins? I’d trouble you again and let those two sisters come over.”

Mas’s face was calm, as if that dissatisfied tone had never appeared before.

Belek was also very tactful and did not say anything more. He strode out of the guest hall and ordered the servants outside to bring the two elf sisters to the front hall.

Before the two elf sisters arrived, there was still one more important matter to settle.

That was the skull of the behemoth.

Mas coveted such a priceless alchemy item. He stared at President Belek and said, “President Belek, since you’re planning to give the skull of this behemoth to Master Mas, then we’ll go on the road and trigger it. You have to arrange for powerful people to take good care of this treasure. If this thing is stolen by a traitor, then it will be our loss!”

Belek smiled and said, “In that case, why don’t you put the skull of this behemoth into your alchemy ring? Only you and I know about this, so there’s no mention of it being stolen.”

“President Belek, aren’t you worried that I will run away and take it for myself?” Mas was a little shocked.

“Of course, brother Dyson, I value you very much as a friend, and you must have something extraordinary about you to be valued by Master Mas, who is highly skilled in alchemy. Although the behemoth skull is a priceless treasure, didn’t we just talk about it? Such a treasure can only be used by Master Mas. Even if you take it away, it won’t be of much use, right?

Brother, you will definitely not take the risk of offending the Chamber of Commerce by taking the skull for himself. ”

Belek analyzed the pros and cons for Mas with a calm expression, as if the skull was not what he sacrificed.

Mas felt that it was necessary for him to reevaluate a figure like Belek. This kind of boldness was not something an ordinary person could achieve.

For example, in the past, because of his first impression of Belek, he had thought that Belek was a short-sighted person that only knew how to exploit the relationship of the royal family to bully others. He had really underestimated Belek in the past.

It seemed like the appearance of the system had affected his judgment. He had to stop being frivolous and take every enemy and teammate seriously.

If nothing unexpected happened, in less than ten years, someone like Belek would definitely swallow up the other two major trading unions of the Storm Empire.

From the looks of it, this person could be considered a close friend.

“Then I’ll reluctantly accept it for Master Mas. I think Master Mas will be so happy when he sees this gift!” Mas was all smiles.

Mas had just finished speaking when his hand moved. With a wave of his hand, he stored the behemoth skull and the huge metal box into the alchemy space he carried with him. 𝐟𝙧ee𝔀e𝐛𝓃𝐨𝚟𝑒𝗹.c𝗼𝚖

In an instant, two beautiful female elves who looked like flowers and jade followed the female servants into the hall. The appearance and figure of the two female elves were very moving. They had pointed long ears and full chests. However, the face of the female elf on the left was very pale, without any color of blood. Her face was as white as bones, and even her hair was white. She looked as if she had leukemia.

“Brother Dyson, as you can see, the one on the left is Sha You. She’s suffering from Lou Gehrig’s disease. I’m sure you can guess that she’s been sick for a long time and her condition is very serious. If she can’t be treated, she’ll die in less than a year!” Belek whispered into Mas’s ear.

Mas smiled and did not seem to care about Belek’s advice. He continued to do what he wanted and said, “I don’t mind, President Belek. Then, I’ll take these two sisters away later. There shouldn’t be any problem, right?”

“I’ve already said everything that needs to be said. Since brother Dyson insists on taking her away, it’s up to you.” Belek did not care much about this. The group of elf sisters were like goods to him. Compared to this trivial matter, he wanted to see Master Mas more.

Mas strode to the two elves and bowed to them like a gentleman from the Rotterdam continent. He introduced himself politely, “Dear elves, my name is Dyson. On behalf of the great alchemist, Mas, I’m hiring the two of you to be the magic rune engravers of the Alchemy Tower. Are the two of you interested?” 𝙛𝘳𝘦e𝓌e𝗯n𝗼ѵ𝙚l.𝒄𝚘𝑚

“Lord Dyson, if we agree to your request, will Master Mas be able to cure my sister?” Leah asked cautiously, not daring to look directly at him for fear of offending him.

Mas did not mind. Instead, he nodded and said, “As Master Mas’s servants, if the two ladies are capable enough, Master Mas will definitely do whatever it takes to cure your sister’s illness. A Level 5 medicinal pill is just a piece of cake for Master Mas.”

The young Leah was overjoyed to hear this. She looked at Sha You and said dazedly, “Yay! My sister’s illness has hope and I don’t have to endure the pain of extreme cold every day anymore.”

At the side, Sha You revealed a mature and bitter smile. “I hope so. I just hope that there won’t be anything else…”

“President Belek, since this pair of elf sisters have already agreed, let’s not delay any further. Let’s set off now! But let’s make it clear first, these things are different. The behemoth skull is your gift to my master, but don’t miss a single cent for the money for the twenty-nine Emerald Green Robes!” Mas said solemnly.

“Of course, that should be the case. I’ll get someone to prepare high-grade alchemy materials now. We’ll meet at the gate of the capital one hour later. What do you think, brother Dyson?”

“Since that’s the case, then it couldn’t be any better.” Mas did not say anything else.. He looked at the two sisters and said, “Then follow me, ladies.”
