2403 Why Don’t You Go and Rob For It?
“We agreed that after we reclaim the territory in the marsh world, you’d receive half of the harvested resources from the next decade. Now, we can increase that time to 30 years. But, there is a prerequisite. If we encounter any problems in the marsh world from now on, Tower Canon will have to help us unconditionally.
“If you agree, we can carry on working together. Otherwise, we can part ways now. This is our base limit. If you can’t accept it, you can leave now!”
The God of Fools and Mirror God could not be bothered to continue negotiating with the greedy Fourth Page Instant Extinguishment. It would be better to make a clean-cut decision now.
The God of Fools and Mirror God understood Fourth Page Instant Extinguishment to a certain degree. This offer of benefits was sufficient to satisfy his appetite. They were not interested in exploring the marsh world. Even if they continued venturing into the marsh world, they would not be able to build another territory.
The Freedom Federation could not afford to suffer another loss like this. This incident almost cost them 30 years worth of profits.
The Radiance Federation was currently focusing on building mirror cities in the abyssal world.
The devils from the abyssal world were not any easier to deal with than the lifeforms from the marsh world. The Radiance Federation was sure to suffer greater losses than the Freedom Federation when they dealt with the abyss demons. The Radiance Federation was in for a world of pain!
The Freedom Federation had suffered losses first, but it was better than paying out the losses after they had developed to a greater extent!
The Mirror God and God of Fools had been keeping news of the Freedom Federation’s crisis under wraps. They had even decided not to seek help from the Azure Federation.
A large reason for this was that they did not want the Radiance Federation to observe and learn from how the Freedom Federation dealt with this situation.
Fourth Page Instant Extinguishment ignored what the Mirror God and God of Fools said.
“This is not the first day of our acquaintanceship. Base limits are meant to be broken. If you can’t even break your base limit, it’s pointless to have one in the first place! 150 bottles of Grade 5 spirit fluids. This shouldn’t be a heavy price for you.
“God of Fools, you should be able to produce that amount after spending a year in seclusion. If you give us 150 bottles of Grade 5 spirit fluids, we will help you right now!”
Fourth Page Instant Extinguishment did not see anything wrong with his negotiating.
The base limit that the Mirror God and God of Fools had set represented the most that they could offer.
If too much pressure was exerted on them, they would truly end up leaving. But if only slight pressure was added, the price could still be pushed upward slowly.
Before the God of Fools and Mirror God spoke, Ka Ma shouted angrily, “Do you think the spiritual ingredients used to concoct Grade 5 spirit fluids cost nothing? There is also a chance of failure during the concoction process. Why don’t you go and rob for the 150 bottles of spirit fluids instead?”
Eight Page Apoptosis, who had not spoken much, chuckled coldly.
“Robbing won’t be as quick as completing a trade with you. Why would we go and rob if we can trade for it? Do you doubt the Mirror God and God of Fools’ capabilities? You aren’t around when they’re concocting spirit fluids. If you aren’t present, how do you know how high their failure rate is? We have already wasted a month here. Now that your main fey has died, do you even have any right to speak?”
Normally, Ka Ma should not be speaking.
She knew her own situation better than anyone else did.
However, she had already agreed to shoulder all of the losses before Tower Canon arrived and ended up waiting for a month.
After this matter of the 150 bottles of spirit fluids was settled, the Mirror God and God of Fools would surely vent all of their fury on her.
Just as Eight Page Apoptosis said, her main fey was dead. There was nothing else she could offer.
Given the environment in the Freedom Federation, the weak would lose all claim to any resources.
Ka Ma had no clue where she would even go to obtain the resources she needed to increase her power. If she was squeezed any more, her power would remain at this level forever!
Eight Page Apoptosis’ words cut deep and hit Ka Ma’s Achilles heel squarely.
However, Ka Ma dared not rebuke Tower Canon like the Goddess of Mercy did.
The Goddess of Mercy had power. If she clashed with Tower Canon, she could protect herself.
But if Ka Ma butted heads with Tower Canon, she would have to rely fully on the Mirror God and God of Fools’ protection.
The Mirror God and God of Fools would only protect her if she had value. Once they deemed that she had lost her value, they would have no more reason to help her.
The Goddess of Mercy had been trying to figure out Third Page Eternal Sin had managed to find out that Fifth Page Truth’s death was related to the mermaid bloodline.
The Goddess of Mercy was not omnipresent. There was no way she could find out that Third Page Eternal Sin’s reason for saying so was that she had seen Fifth Page Truth’s sins disappear.
There was only one thing that the Goddess of Mercy wanted to do, which was to find out how the God and Mirror God felt about her.
It would be easy to find out how they saw her! All she needed to do was say things beneficial to them. If they still rejected her, it meant that they did not have positive intentions toward her. After all the years she had spent with the Mirror God and God of Fools, it would be easy for the Goddess of Mercy to read them.
“150 bottles is too many. You should already have known that when you said it. A total of five of you came. With 80 bottles, each of you will get 16—”
Before the Goddess of Mercy finished speaking, the God of Fools cut her off, “150 bottles will be fine. This price is fine! However, I have a request. You will have to bring all of your subordinates over.”
Seventh Page War happened to be in the greatest need of Grade 5 spirit fluids.
After hearing the God of Fools agree to Fourth Page Instant Extinguishment’s request, Seventh Page War, who never got along with Fourth Page Instant Extinguishment, suddenly found him amiable.
“Since we’re going to help, it goes without saying that we should go all out. We have already brought all of our Chanters over. Of my 30 bottles, ten must be full of spirit qi while 20 must contain wood-elemental energy!”
Since they already agreed to Fourth Page Instant Extinguishment’s request for Grade 5 spirit fluids, the Mirror God and God of Fools decided not to negotiate when it came to the type of spirit fluids.
The Goddess of Mercy’s eyes narrowed when the God of Fools interrupted and went against what she said.
Once this incident came to an end, so would her time in the Freedom Federation.
The Goddess of Mercy decided to communicate with the Radiance Federation while the Mirror God and Goddess of Mercy were focused on handling this crisis. There was no way that the Mirror God and God of Fools would suspect that she had already begun working with the Radiance Federation.
