"H, how do you know?" I asked with little stuttering voice, "I have my ways." she said smilingly.
"You dont have to feel scared; I am not going to harm you, I will pay for what you will give it to me," she said.
I acutely noticed that I have to agree to the transaction as she did not mention about me wanting to accept or not, there is no choice for in this transaction.
Thank God I had received many Knowledge crystals; otherwise, I would have had to tell them about the Totem Artifacts.
"If you have the inheritance Crystal, then I will pay in the Occult Methods. If You share the knowledge with me, then I will pay according to it," she said and looked at me for a reply.
I did not reply, as hearing her I had a different Idea, I want to see what is she is offering for the Totem Artifact Blueprints, if the offer is good then I dont mind giving her the blueprints of Artifacts as in my head they are not going lay any eggs.
Seeing I am not saying anything, she smiled, as if she guesses something.
"If You have gained the knowledge of Plants and Potions, then I will provide potions from the formulas you have provided, if you have gained the Knowledge of Mystical methods, then I will provide you the resources that need for the mystical method...."
She continued stating what she will provide in exchange for the specific knowledge and hearing her, I got know about types of knowledge crystals that exist, and there are many of them.
I let her continued talking as she hadn’t spoken about the thing I want. She continued for twenty minutes before I heard what I wanted to hear from her.
"If you have gained the Knowledge of the Totem Artifact Blueprints, then we will provide you with materials to create any Totem Artifact of Blueprint that you have provided."
"If you" "I have gained knowledged Totem Artifacts from the Knowledge Crystal." I cut her off.
It is the moment I was waiting for her to say that since she started speaking. I have gained the natural treasure to craft my totem artifact, but the other materials are very rare that I may bot even able to gather them all in the year.
Not only thy are rare, but they are also costly, and even if I sell all the things I have. I will not be able to buy all the materials I need to craft the artifacts unless I sell the Inheritance Crystal, which I will not do for any price in the world.
"Does your knowledge include Emperor Class Totem Artifacts Blueprints?" she asked, I nodded.
The Emperor Class Totem artifact she had mentioned are the Top 10 artifacts, and all the Emperor class Totem Artifacts required natural treasure as the core material.
"I’ll make it clear before we talk any further; I want all the material I need to craft the Emperor Class Totem Artifact unless you provide that to me, I will be not be uttering a single word even if you torture me," I said while putting a brave front.
"Hahahaha..."
Hearing what I said, she stayed quiet for a few minutes before she started to laugh madly, till tears began to streaming down from her eyes.
"Calm down, little man, I am not going to torture you or anything. It is just a transaction where I will gain the most," she said while wiping the tears off her cheeks.
"I will be able to provide you with materials needed for the Emperor Class Totem Artifact, but you have to provide me something of the worth in exchange."
"How about 10 Blueprints of Emperor Class Totem Artifacts and 50 Blueprints of King Class Artifacts," she asked to which I shook my head.
"The Knowledge crystal I have received had the fifty Totem Artifact Blueprints, Five of them were Emperor class while 45 of them are King Class."
"In the five Emperor Class Totem Artifacts, two are single while three are series in which contain 7, 12, and 16 blueprints," I said.
I am not going to tell her about all the Blueprints I have; I am already giving hundreds of times more than what she will is giving me.
A Blueprint worth far more it’s materials, if I did not have have the desperate need for them and they could not be obtained in this continent, I would not have spared her even a single blueprint.
"I like smart people; let’s sign a Contract to finalize our transaction." She agreed and took out a silver page. The page is entirely blank except for having the sigil of the guild on it.
A silver contract! Seeing it, I heaved a sigh of relief. The silver contract is significant that even she who is powerful beyond my imagination won’t dare to break the terms of the agreement.
With silver paper in front of us, we started negotiating the terms of the contract.
It took us an hour, but we had finally decided on it, the terms straightforward, she give me material for the artifact, I give her the totem blueprints.
"Now that the contracted is signed, show me the materials you need," she said, I nodded and started to write down the list of the things I needed.
There are total, 137 materials needed for my Totem Artifact, I’ve already got the most important thing I needed, but I am not going to tell her that, the more I can squeeze her, the better.
I finish writing down all the 137 materials and also their supplementary materials if she were not able to find the original.
"There are quite many materials in the list; you write down the Totem Artifact Blueprints; I will come back in few hours after I collect the materials you needed," she said, and before I could say anything, she disappeared from the room.
I hope she will get all the materials I needed; I want to craft my Totem Artifact as soon as possible.
With that thought, I started to write the blueprints on the pad; it will going to take quite a few hours to draw all the totem artifacts blueprints, I thought with the deep sigh.
Time passed by afternoon gone, and evening came, but I am still writing the runic blueprints of the Totem Artifacts. Except for taking a short break to eat the few snacks, I did not take any break from the writing.
Click!
Three more hours passed when I finally stopped up as I heard the sound of the door opening, she came back, and she seemed to be not in a good mood.
"I have nearly collected all the material you have needed except for two," she said.
’She had collected 135 materials in just a few hours!’ I thought with the astonishment. I know how rare these materials are and know that most of then could only be found in the Central continent.
She is able to gather all these materials in the outpost of the small continent shows her reach.
"Which ones are are not able to gather?" I asked, "A natural treasure and feathercast stone which is rarer than some natural treasure." she replied.
"How much till will take to you to gather these two materials?" I asked.
"At a minimum, I will be able to collect them in two weeks, maximum it will take two month," she said.
Buzz!
I was about to say something to her when my holowatch buzzed with the mail.
When I looked at it I, found it is from the guild, and I excitedly opened knowing what it is about, but when I read it, I received the exact opposite answer of what I had expected.
"B By any means, do you have a way to change the Midzone I am being sent to?" I asked her with my most hopeful eyes.
