Chapter 94 - Deal

"F.. F.. Five?!?" Sage Albert couldn't play calm and control himself any longer, the mask that he tried to wear had fallen off after Robin's words.

"Your Highness, are you okay?" Robin was surprised by his reaction... 

A while ago he was saying that the offer was not good enough and inappropriate, it is not possible that it is still inappropriate to the degree that it stunned him, right?

"Ahem.. you said.. you're going to give me five keys to Five Minor heavenly Laws of the Fire Path?" The Sage man restrained himself a little and asked

"That's right, But not right now! it just happens that I knew of one now, as for the rest I need time to research, every year I will give you the keys to one minor heavenly." Robin nodded

In fact, Robin could easily write him dozens of minor heavenly laws Keys while he was sitting now! 

Partly because he already had researched and gathered the keys to hundreds of minor heavenly laws from different paths since his time at the cave,

The other reason is that he himself has mastered the first stage of the major law of fire... he has the original in his pocket, the source from which all the other minor heavenly fire laws branch out! 

So even if he didn't have those keys before, he could easily translate the major heavenly law of fire into a myriad of minor laws at any time.

There are a few reasons why he asked for this pause between the delivery of every key, the most important of which is to make the sage Albert aware of his own importance and what he can do, given enough time and ease of mind...

and that if he pressures him or tries to extract something from him by force now, he will not benefit from the huge possibilities in the future.

"this… what about the second stage of those laws? can you make them too?" Sage Albert did not expect much out of this question, researching the second stage of a law is much more difficult than the first stage, but he saw an open treasure in front of him and decided to push his luck further and see his limits

The first stage of the heavenly law is what is used to make the pillars of the knighthood, so without the first stage of heavenly law, it is impossible to enter level 11. 

the second stage of heavenly laws is what makes saint, a saint! ... It is impossible to enter level 21 without the second stage of the same heavenly law with which the 11th level pillars were made off.

As for the third stage... there are only 13 minor heavenly law techniques of this caliper in the world, 8 of them are in the 8 kingdoms, to be more precise... with the Royal families of the 8 kingdoms!

the third stage of a heavenly law technique is the minimum requirement for someone to break through the sainthood shackles and become a sage

This is precisely why there is a huge rift that cannot be bridged between the common citizens and the noble families, and the royal families. 

Obtaining a minor heavenly law technique is not easy, let alone obtaining a law at the second level, to say the least about the third level! 

the third stage of a heavenly minor law is what defines a royal family!

Of course, these minor heavenly law techniques were not present when the first cultivator began his journey, it is something that is pursued every day and every minute, it is not written in stones!

there are geniuses throughout history who were able to cross this gap by discovering the next level of law with their own comprehension and special abilities, but this is very difficult... 

and the method that this person uses to advance might not fit another, and therefore cannot be generalized to the rest of the family most of the time

but those who find their way and can write a decent technique with well-detailed organized and logical steps... those are the chosen sons of the world, are the ancestors of all the noble families present today!

"The second stage.. the second stage... hmmm" So far Robin hasn't made the second level out of anything he's discovered, there was simply no need to do it since he didn't even use the first stage to make his pillars, nor did any one of those who are relying on him... 

after thinking for a few seconds, Robin said, "Why the hell not...? The first stage of the Five Laws will be in exchange for protecting me and fulfilling my conditions in addition to a payment of 500,000 gold coins you will pay me annually for the five years

If you agree to this, I will give you the possibility to buy the second level of those heavenly fire law techniques later at a reasonable price, What do you think of this?"

"agreed!!" Wise Albert quickly reached out and grabbed Robin's hand and shake it, sealing the deal before he spoke again

Paying half a million gold coins for a heavenly fire law technique key was nothing! 

And he did not doubt for a moment the credibility of Robin that he would do what he said, the whole world saw for themselves what this young man could do.

After the handshake was done, the sage felt that something was missing, and after he came to his senses after being overzealous he quickly asked, "Oh right, won't I be able to buy anything from you in five years? How about that ring?"

"As I said, I can't produce talismans in large quantities for commercial purposes - yet - I have something to focus on, and now I'm even busier than ever thanks to the keys you want. These will be more than enough to bind me for five years! But... I can sell you a few sound rings."

"Only the rings? Hmmm, it's okay.. how much?"

"I will sell you each set of two rings for 20,000 gold coins." Robin calmly replied

"What-?! That's too much!!" The happiness that appeared on his face a while ago disappeared and the Sage returned to the negotiation mode in a moment...

"I will not accept a negotiation in this! You must know the value of this innovation, Your Highness...

It is true that rings cannot be used forever, but they can be used many times before the talismans wear out inside the ring and need replacement, so you can think that you will buy every time you connect with 100 gold... No, I think it might actually be much cheaper per usage!

If you give a ring to your son, you will know if he is in danger, you will always rest assured of the heart

If you use it in the war, the instant communication between the general and the scout squad can be the difference between life and death, with this innovation you can turn defeat into victory or annihilate entire armies by following the enemy's movements with extreme accuracy

From your office, you can follow everything that is going on in the kingdom around you and issue orders to be activated immediately, the control of the royal family will be truly absolute!

… Honestly thinking about all this I feel like losing at this price, I will sell you the pair for a hundred thousand gold coins."

Sage Albert was startled when he heard Robin's final words and shouted, "No! a man must hold to his word, you can not change the price now! I was joking with you a while ago, of course, I accept! I will pay twenty thousand gold coins!!"

when he heard all those possibilities in succession he knew he had badly underestimated the value of these rinds, Robin was not selling the metal ring itself nor the small hide inside... he was selling him the future!

not speaking about a mere twenty thousand for the pair of rings, if yesterday someone came to sell the pair of rings for a million or two million, he would have agreed at once, 

but he knew that the rings are far from being unique, Robin can make countless numbers of them... That's why he was initially trying to lower the price, to pave the future in order to buy large quantities of them.

But this also reassured the sage... as it seems that Robin has no intention of making that many rings in the end, as if he did plan to mass-produce them he would have lowered the price by much

"Excellent! I'll stay here for two more days and write you the first keys to the first minor heavenly fire law, and I'll leave these two rings with you,

When the time comes to leave after the two days, I expect to take 520,000 gold coins with me and to be escorted by a few high-leveled saints to protect me from now on, do we have a deal?"

"haha of course we have a deal!"
