Chapter 185: Brick Cube
Aizen and his group were invited to take a brief tour of Hall 5, where they were introduced one by one to the treasures, artifacts, and weapons that were the special items there.
No more and no less than 21 items, in a grand hall like a historical museum, it only presents very few items. Even so, Halinoque did an excellent job highlighting all of their special items.
20 items explained eloquently by Lin Lin and Ding Chun alternately, and finally they arrived at the last item. An item like a brown brick twice the size of an adult's palm, this item made Aizen frown slightly.
"This is the Prosperity Cube, a treasure made by one of our Grade 5 alchemists and artists. By placing this cube right on the ground, and supplied with enough spirit stones, it is certain, within a radius of 20 kilometers, your land will be very fertile, according to the name this treasure." Lin Lin explained the item she had memorized very well.
She knew this group had put an eye on several items, and if all of them were added to the list of bills that had been accumulated from Hall 1 to Hall 3, then that would be a big profit for Halinoque. She had already been trying to entice this group to buy more, and she just needed to wait for the results.
"Cube? Wherever I look at it, it's like a brick." Aizen muttered so casually by the reality he saw at that time.
It made Lin Lin a little awkward and speechless for a moment, what she saw was like that too, and the cube was nothing more than the name their alchemist gave for this treasure.
To be honest, she had never seen how this treasure works! Or how about this treasure could be called a cube! Why this treasure wasn't named Prosperity Brick instead? Lin Lin raised a protest in her mind.
Even so, she shouldn't appear to be lacking in knowledge of the treasures in this hall, her brain worked hard to come up with the most plausible theory of what she knew about this new treasure.
"This Prosperity Cube is not shaped like a cube because it is in a sleeping state, and hasn't been supplied with spirit stones. You can try it and find out." Lin Lin took the brick, which was sacredly displayed in the cabinet like a mini altar, and gave it to Aizen.
"Hmm..." Aizen briefly checked this item with the aid of his system scan. Next, he took out a chunk of purple spirit stone from the [Space Storage].
Right after that spirit stone was brought closer to the brick, the item named cube immediately turned into a real cube. The brick split into four pieces and floated right above Aizen's hand, as if waiting for the spirit stone to enter and became the cube energy core.
Curious, Aizen handed the chunk of the high tier spirit stone to the cube. As if it was sucked in and then attached as a core between the four floating parts, the brownish color of the cube turned purple immediately, a subtle purplish light also emitted from it.
"I see, now I know why it's called a cube... I want this, add it to our list." Aizen returned the cube to Lin Lin, without taking back the high tier spirit stone that had been installed there.
He had discussed this with the girls, although they could use science to enrich the land and so on, having something like this was not a bad idea. They would make a beautiful area like a heavenly land, and this cube could be their first research and test material later.
"Ye, yes! With pleasure!" Lin Lin quickly took out Ding Chun's special Space Ring, to add the cube to its friends for these honored guests.
These honored guests didn't even need to ask their total price or so, as one too rich would expect.
"Um, is there anything else you would like to buy, or anything I can help you with?" Lin Lin asked politely after everything was thought to be over, she hoped this group would buy one or two more treasures in this hall.
"Of the twenty special items in this hall, is there anything you want to buy?" Didn't give an answer for Lin Lin, Aizen turned to ask his girls.
The girls only shook their heads, in this hall, there were only items or weapons devoted to something that didn't interest them at all. Not to mention because of the shape of the item they didn't know what to use.
It was different from the street vendors in this handicraft district, and also different from the items in Hall 1 to Hall 3 in Halinoque, because what girls bought was nothing more than pretty things they could use.
"Here, anything is barely interesting to us. For that last item, is an exception due to its possibly useful function." Axel spoke in her beautiful voice.
Not only Lin Lin and Ding Chun were shocked very much at that statement, but several other elders and guards who happened to be on duty there as well. It sounded like an insult, but if it came from a special group of people with a mysterious background, it would be something that had never happened before.
What kind of treasure were they used to encountering, and what kind of thing could be said to be attractive to these fairies? What kind of food did that man provide for his women, so she could say that easily, as if all these treasures were meaningless in her eyes !? Even the Great Elders and Honored Envoys from other great sects and other great organizations never said anything like her...
Several of the elders screamed with astonishment in their minds. Even so, just this time and just because this group was unusual, all of them considered the golden-haired fairy words to be an ordinary opinion, no one took offense even if they wanted to.
"Okay, that's it. Accumulate it all, how much do I need to pay?" Aizen smiled slightly behind his mask, and Axel also smiled underneath her veil, then he turned back to face Lin Lin who still had a dumbfounded expression.
As expected, Axel spoke fluently to offend the others around them, with only her short sentences. Even so, no one raised offense or anything, and it showed and confirmed their attitude towards his group.
"Yes, yes! Immediately, please wait a moment." Lin Lin stuttered and immediately calculated the accumulated price that Ding Chun had made, then added up the price of the Prosperity Cube.
"Th, all of them are 267 thousand high tier spirit coins... It has been calculated with a 20 percent discount from your Blue Diamond membership card, young master." Lin Lin gulped her saliva, this was no small value.
For the original price of the Prosperity Cube itself, it was a six-digit value starting with the numbers 1, 2, and then followed by many zeros, one of the most expensive of the lot. Even after being given a discount, it wasn't a spirit coin that was trivial for her to name.
The bill for these honored guests was worth three to four super treasures in this hall, even other Sect Master had never bought up this much in a single transaction.
Aizen didn't have to bid or do anything else, it was already a good and cheap price considering their treasury had so many Spirit Stones from various explorations.
He received the Space Ring given by Lin Lin, without further ado, he transferred all the items there to the [Space Storage], then refilled the Space Ring with the required spirit stone.
Lin Lin somewhat absentmindedly received back the Space Ring which had many spirit stones with a purplish luster within the said Space Ring. Just in case, she shrewdly placed the Space Ring into an artifact that was useful for detecting the value of all the Spirit Stones inside.
Absolutely nothing more and nothing less, it was just the right value at the price she said earlier.
"Very well, that's all from us. Thank you for the short tour and your service." Aizen raised his hand slightly as if he was about to wave, and left there with his girls right after.
"Thank you for your visit." Lin Lin gave a slight bow of respect even though the honored guests had walked away, Ding Chun also did so for necessity.
Waiting no more, and without small talk or anything, Aizen and his group immediately walked their way out of Halinoque, leaving the adjuvant behind right after the transaction was complete.
'For the next place, are we going to the Waterway Diner? It's a restaurant above a small lake in the northern part of the city center, correct?' Aizen spoke lightly after they left the handicraft district.
'Yes, we have decided together. There will feel beautiful with romantic nuances at night. In this restaurant, I'm sure, no one will dare to disturb us, not when the rules in this particular city are strictly enforced hehe...' Ana giggled happily with various anticipations.
Their previous experience at the restaurant was not good, and this restaurant would probably make a good impression on them. In this city, there were no people who dared to act arbitrarily or flaunted their influence over others, not when 14 sects and organizations existed as city owners to protect the city that was on the most fertile land in terms of the wealth of spiritual energy.
