While I am not able to show you our most expensive crystals, you may still look around. The crystals in our shop are of higher quality compared to the crystals of other shops. I am willing to guide and help you a crystal.
This was not the first time that the clerk experienced this kind of thing. Some people have money but no power, most of whom are second or third generation Young Masters.
They are not the target market of the shops VIP members. The clerk can only hope that Treen would not be too pushy, as providing a VIP status is not an easy feat.
I dont want the crystals here, I want to see and buy the most expensive crystals Treen insisted with a frown, but the shops rules were not something that the clerk could break. She had no choice but to continue denying Treens request, causing the latter to be extremely dissatisfied.
He vowed to snitch this shop to Tryst. She would definitely give him justice!
Watching this scene, Rezen was helpless, but he, too, wanted to finish this long day, and he decided to try again.
He retrieved a token from his spatial ring. The token was from Elder Priss and is something that represents her.
Anyone who has this token should be treated the same way others should treat an Elder of the Council.
Considering that the shop has connections to powerful Senior Mages, the clerk immediately recognized the token, and she was shocked.
While we are not 5th-cycle Mages personally, this token represents Elder Priss of the Council of Elders. With the status of a peak Senior Mage, we should be able to view and buy your most expensive crystals, right?
Rezen doesnt know if this will work, but he knows one thing: the Elders of the Council are the highest-ranking people in the City of Hope.
Their status was only lower compared to the Guardian. They are above everyone and below one.
Rezen has great confidence that the show of the token will work, and he was not disappointed.
As soon as the clerk saw the token, she was immediately flustered and bowed her head deeply.
My apologies! I didnt know that such distinguished customers were in our shop. I will call our manager. You are definitely qualified to view our most expensive crystals!
The clerks attitude immediately turned a hundred and eighty degrees after seeing the token. After all, even 5th-cycle Senior Mages or even high-cycle Senior Mages will not dare to offend one of the Elders.
Even if there were tens of peak Senior Mages, there are only a limited number of Elders. They are at the very peak.
No shop in the city, even if the shop is located in the core walls and owned by another Elder, will dare to offend any other Elders.
Wow, that token is super effective Treen exclaimed while looking at Rezens token enviously.
He was repeatedly refused, but just by seeing the token, the clerks attitude immediately changed. Who wouldnt want to own such a token?
You could ask Elder Priss for one. Im sure she would not refuse you Rezen suggested with a shrug.
With the importance that the Elder Priss showed Treen, Rezen doesnt believe that she would give him a token.
Even Rezens current fortune and support from Elder Priss all came from the fact that the former is close to Treen.
In the Elders heart, Treen should be far more important than Rezen. Since Rezen was given the token, he believed that Treen would also be given a token.
Hmm, should I try to ask? Treen questioned, clearly tempted.
Despite the fact that Elder Priss always showed no emotion, whether it be in her face, tone, or actions, for some reason, Treen felt a sense of closeness and familiarity with her.
It was as if he already knew her for years, but that should be impossible.
Treen can only credit the sense of comfort he got from the Elder due to the fact that Elder Priss and Tryst seem to be close and have a tight relationship.
Come to think of it, even their names sound similar Treen thought amusely before he and Rezen were guided by the shops manager into the VIP room.
With the status of an Elder thanks to the token, Treens transaction was smooth sailing. He was able to buy the most expensive pink crystal in the shop, much to his satisfaction.
Expensive things really are the best!
No crystal caught his eye before he saw the most expensive pink crystal, and he immediately bought it without any hesitation.
Rezen even had a hunch that Treens pickiness was just simply an excuse that he used since what he really wanted to buy was the most expensive product. It doesnt matter what it looks like, he just wants to use the most expensive one.
The shop even provided a discount to Treen, but considering how much support is given to him, he didnt feel any heartache for spending such a huge sum of money.
Hehe, its beautiful! I would definitely be able to create a beautiful sculpture! Treen happily said as soon as the two of them got out of the shop, and Rezen could only shake his head with a smile.
Whatever makes his friend happy!
In the void, a single void ship was traveling and scanning the nearby realms it encountered to check if the realm was undiscovered or not.
Due to how large the universe was, even a Sage Mage might not be able to travel the entire Southern Domain.
As such, many realms are left undiscovered for thousands, millions, or even billions of years.
The people in this void ship are slave traders. Their primary job was to search for unknown realms.
If the realms natives were weak enough, they would enslave them on their own. However, if the realm has the presence of beings that they cannot defeat on their own, they would then inform their higher-ups to request support.
It was hard to reach the Noble Mage rank, as there was a huge dividing line between the 3rd and the 4th rank.
The difference between a Great Mage and a Noble Mage was even larger compared to the difference between an apprentice and a Great Mage.
As such, the strongest people in this void ship are only at the Great Mage Rank. However, the ships fighting power was stronger than Great Mages.
With the weapons the void ship was equipped with, even Great Mages can temporarily contend against a Noble Mage as long as they have enough supply of high-quality mana stones.
It would be even better if they had a source of energy superior to high-quality mana stones, which are the mana crystals.
A single shot of the ships cannon can demolish a huge area, destroying mountains and vaporizing the seas were feats it could do. Of course, that is granted that the realm is only a third-level realm that can support the existence of Great Mages.
If it were a 4th-level realm that could give birth to Noble Mages, the ships cannon would find it hard to achieve the same feat.
Inside the core control room of the void ship, a fat man can be seen surrounded by several women who are serving him.
The women have smiles in their faces that didnt reach their eyes. On their necks were collars that forever forced them into servitude.
These women are slaves from a captured realm. Considering the type of job the fat man has, it was now surprising that he has his own personal slaves.
At this moment, the fat mans face showed impatience and dissatisfaction.
Beral, have we still not discovered an unexplored realm yet? The fat man inquired, causing the man named Beral to break in a cold sweat.
B-boss, n-not yet he answered fearfully.
Due to how large the universe is, the distance from one realm to the realm closest to it can be massive.
Such a distance was something that even if Great Mages spend their whole lives flying, they might still not be able to cover it.
Void ships mostly rely on warping if the distance is too long.
However, for slave traders, they cannot just warp from one place to another. Their job is to search for unknown realms, and it requires them to really travel the sea of void manually.
Even with a void ships speed, they cant just discover undiscovered realms easily.
Useless! It has been decades since we last discovered an unknown realm! Are you sure you are doing your job properly?! The fat man immediately erupted in anger.
He wasnt even able to control his strength, and he slapped one of his slave women, causing the poor woman to fall on the floor with a big bruise on her face.
B-boss, i-its not easy to f-find undiscovered realms the man tried to reason out, but the boss simply glared at him.
