Chapter 38

Seeing that Reipa didn’t speak, Lady Rose and the Whale-taming Magi looked at each other. Needless to say, they had the same thought.

In terms of power, the White Tower and Marine College were no match for the North Sea Behemoth family, but when the main force left, Reipa was only a stage 3 Magi. They could get more benefits from him.

Alderi would not let this kid off either.

At that time, it would become a battle between a crazy beast and the Behemoth family. They only needed to use a few tricks to obtain a large number of benefits.

Reipa was helpless. Ultimately, he was not strong enough.

He and his sister did not have enough power in the family either.

As such, he could only nod and leave the negotiation to the family elder.

However, this way, the resources he had to hand over to the family every year would reach 70% of his total income.

If he had settled the matter himself, he would’ve only needed to hand over about 50%.

Through telepathy, also known as voice transmission, the three stage-5 Magis soon reached a tacit understanding.

The Evening Bell Church’s island would be given to the two local forces while the salt marsh that originally belonged to the Evening Bell Church would belong to Reipa.

Of course, the knowledge on Evening Bell Island had to be copied and brought back to the North Sea Behemoth family by the family elder. The other two forces also had to pay two million magic stones each to obtain permanent ownership of Evening Bell Island.

The rest of Evening Bell Church’s properties and some of the apprentices were also given to Reipa.

It seemed like Reipa had earned a lot, but in fact, it was only so-so.

The most valuable property was the Evening Bell Island. This was the foundation of a Magi force. It took hundreds of years to strengthen the land to have extremely dense magic energy.

“Now, let’s talk about the deep-sea polluted creatures.”

Speaking of the deep-sea polluted creatures, the elder of the Behemoth family left with his men. They were not locals anyway, so it had nothing to do with them.

Reipa’s safety would be reported by the two local forces to the court Magis of Koster to guard.

As long as they were willing to pay, it was not a problem to ensure their safety within the city.

No matter how crazy Alderi was, he wouldn’t challenge the order of the Dandong Empire. After all, the Dandong Empire had a legendary Magi that was above stage 9!

Even the Five-colored Evil Dragon wouldn’t dare to act recklessly.

As for the deep-sea polluted creatures, they were the products of the fallen old Gods. After the ancient Magis killed the Gods, they sealed a part of their corpses in the deep sea.

Over the years, the Sea tribe and some marine creatures were contaminated by the death radiation emitted by the Gods’ corpses, and thus they mutated into monsters that only knew to pursue death.

To lure the Evening Bell Church to gather at Koster’s coast, Reipa had lured a large group of deep-sea polluted creatures over through the secret feed of the North Sea Behemoth family, making them completely occupy Evening Bell Island.

It would take some time to get the island back.

Moreover, there was a curse from the Gods on the polluted creatures.

This curse was named “Eternal Drown”. The longer one stayed with the deep-sea polluted creatures, the easier it was to be infected by the curse.

It would be caused one’s bloodline to mutate and lure Magis to fall.

The final result was to become a powerful monster that would forever belong to the deep sea. Those who were cursed could often hear the call of the deep sea, which was very eerie.

The power of curses could be considered a variant of psychic power. Its origin could no longer be traced.

The deep-sea polluted creatures were not strong and could be handed over to Magi apprentices. The problem was pollution.

Once these polluted creatures died, they would explode like a bomb, and their flesh and blood would fly everywhere. Touching the flesh and blood would cause one to be infected by the curse, Eternal Drown. It required purification spells to cure, which was very labor-consuming.

The situation simply couldn’t be solved in a short time.

And now, Evening Bell Island belonged to the White Tower and Marine College. As such, Reipa shook his head and did not answer. He simply followed the elder’s footsteps and left.

He still had other things to discuss. Moreover, it was impossible for him to return to the Deep Sea Academy to cultivate, so he needed a special mystical item to create a magic energy room for himself.

Such a mystical item could only be found in the family.

Lady Rose and the Whale-taming Magi looked at each other.

Back then, they had a good time luring their targets. Now, it was really troublesome to deal with them.

However, paying a huge price to get the island was worth it.

Not only was there Alderi’s Magi Tower (including the elemental pool), but there was also a magic potion garden, a beast garden, a meditation room, a library, and so on. There were all kinds of facilities and equipment that could be used to increase one’s strength.

The Behemoth family only needed a copy of the knowledge inside.

In other words, the Evening Bell Island was now an empty treasure trove.

It was indeed their duty to deal with the polluted creatures.

“Are there any apprentices who are proficient in purification spells among our apprentices?”

“There are a few who have mastered Water Purification, but not many. What about you?”

“I also have some apprentices who can purify evil. Shall we start cleaning up now?”

“Sure. We’ll send official Magi to lead the team in turns, rotating every month. It’ll take at most a year to clean up.”

“Then gather some self-taught wizards too. The risk of purifying the polluted creatures is too high. Let the self-taught wizards go for a few rounds first.”

“Alright.”

After a few words, they set a general direction.

Following this, the two of them were in a heated discussion about how to divide the interests of the island. Just now, they had joined hands, but now, they were at each other’s throats.

There was no need to be surprised. This was normal.

…

Rhein Bookstore.

Lin Suo’s life was leisurely and stable.

He often communicated with Valia and learned more about the secret information of the Magi world. He went to the Sewer Black Market every seven days to sell Enlightenment Reagents and buy a large number of materials.

During this process, both gold coins and magic stones were consumed in large quantities.

His savings were almost emptied.

The antique shop that Colin had transferred to him was indeed not bad. It made a profit of about two thousand gold every month. It also had fixed customers and channels to receive goods.

Lin Suo made a trip there and eliminated Old John and his group from the list of acquisition targets. Then, he couldn’t care less about them, as he still had the contracts and labor contracts.

These minor characters could not affect him.

Besides, he hadn’t mingled around for nothing. After staying in Koster for so long, he had gotten to know a few people from all walks of life, mostly ordinary people.

Other than entrusting a regular customer of the bookstore to find a professional shop owner for him, he rarely cared about the shop.

Because he was proficient in many languages, the quality of the books was high, and it was opened in a mixed-race area, Rhein Bookstore’s business was much better than before, and his monthly profit reached 500 gold.

The illustrations and fabricated stories that he added were very attractive to these foreign races who had never seen their hometown before!

For example, the story of the Beastman Thrall, the explosion of the Night Elf’s Well of Eternity, the Legend of the Goblin Merchant Caesar, the Night of Beheading …

The book printing equipment was placed on the second floor. With the help of the Magical Hand, he could mass produce while improving his proficiency in practicing. It was simply invincible.

The industries on the surface had taken off.

The next step was to expand the antique shop or open a new business. When his monthly profit reached more than 10,000 gold, he would have the ticket to become a Dandong noble.

At that time, the noble merchant circle would take the initiative to invite him to a certain banquet.

As for the counterfeit goods industry behind it, it had already been exhausted and there was no way to earn any more money! This matter could not be exposed either. Who knew how many nobles of Koster had bought his fake goods?

His monthly income from that had dropped from 50,000 gold to less than 5,000 gold.

Old John was at his wit’s end. At this point, his network had been exhausted, and he was no different from selling bulk goods.
