Book 12: Chapter 101: Interest (1)
Dyon’s clone descended, landing on the ground like an angel from on high. The combination of his flowing golden hair, piercing opal eyes, and wide, fiery white wings painted a picture of elegance that was almost impossible to match.
His entrance was so grand that it was impossible that a world filled with immortals wouldn’t notice his arrival.
As expected, numerous excited gazes turned themselves toward him and many more began to enthusiastically chat about him.
None of them knew Dyon’s name as no one had dared to ever ask for it, but they were all aware of his legend by now. He was easily crowned as the best alchemist of this star segment, a title that even the surprisingly arrogant group of old men hadn’t dared to refute.
Although Dyon only refined lower empyrean grade talismans and pills at best, it had to be remembered that the middle empyrean level was already the ceiling of Immortal Celestials. For a star segment like this one, where would they find Immortal Law experts who were capable of breaking through that limit? As a result, despite the fact Dyon had never displayed skill higher than that level, there was no one with high enough skill in the first place to look down on him.
However, after the first wave of excitement, the expressions of those looking on toward Dyon dulled. They suddenly remembered that Dyon had stopped selling to normal people a long time ago and now only dealt with large legions able to buy in bulk.
As expected, Dyon had barely touched down to the clean roads of Segment 232 when a group of strong auras made their way toward him, led by an almost obnoxiously fat man who had the weakest aura of them all. That said, those around him didn’t seem to dare to hold demeanors that displayed this truth.
Their heads remained slightly lowered and their steps were a measure behind as well, following the man’s lead.
Dyon indifferently watched on as the Earl made his way toward him, his demeanor striking a resounding dichotomy between himself and the fat man’s followers.
The Earl’s features remained cordial and there wasn’t so much as a flicker in his gaze, but his heart was already rolling over with anger. He had gotten quite good at hiding his true emotions in his lifetime. As a person who had been looked down upon for so long and even to this day still, he knew how to bury those emotions and bide his time.
Unfortunately, what he wasn’t very good at was stopping himself from having these emotions at all, so he was in a constant state of trying to prove himself.
“Esteemed High Empyrean Elf.” The Earl greeted politely. Since no one knew Dyon’s name and he seemed to have no intention of telling them, they could only call him this.
“I am known as Earl or The Earl, I am the Chancellor of Segment 232. I’m glad that you’ve chosen to come back to our humble bazaar. Though I wanted to make contact with you earlier, I was afraid that you would take it as an affront. I don’t want to come off as a person trying to make connections with you simply because you took a chance on my little bubble world.”
The Earl smiled. His acting was so good that many even felt a swell of respect for him. Who wouldn’t want to establish friendly relations with a high elf? The fact that he held back for so long made those who didn’t know the true nature of the Earl look at him in a different light.
In the end, how could a normal man manage to build the largest bazaar in a star segment? No matter how weak a star segment is, there will still be trillions of people to contend with. The one that came out on top would without a double be a talent even amongst talents.
Dyon faintly nodded, but showed no intention of responding. It was as though he was telling the Earl to get on with it. Or, asking him why it was he hadn’t continued to leave him alone.
The Earl’s heart inwardly twitched with a hint of dark suggestion, but his expression remained amiable.
“The truth is that I had no choice but to come to Esteemed High Empyrean Elf on this day. As you know, void surges do not come from nowhere, they’re often causally linked with other events. It takes time to find these root causes, but after almost a decade, we’ve finally found the cause of this one.
“I won’t hold you in suspense and get right to the point. The Yin Soldier Immortal God’s Legacy World has broken through the void once more, and this time, it’s our star segment it will orbit in.
“Unfortunately, I do not have the qualifications to explore this Legacy World alone, and nor do I have any subordinates who are on this level. I hope to enter a partnership with sir High Elf. In return, I will provide you with all the funds and resources you need for 5 years. But, once the world opens, I hope that you will guide me to gain some benefits.”
Dyon finally raised an eyebrow, the first change in his expression since he had touched down here. He didn’t care much about the Legacy World. What he found interesting was the fact that this Earl had actually dared to speak of it aloud in front of so many witnesses.
