Chapter 581: 【Yamila no Me】, One Hundred and Thirty-Nine Gold Coins

~13 min read 2,586 words

Jier struggled painfully on the ground, muttering some nonsense.

Yamila, meanwhile, was laughing with joy.

After watching Jier's comical appearance for a while, she finally stepped forward, carefully avoiding Jier's flailing hands and feet. She had to be careful, because Jier was not controlling his strength while struggling; if she were hit by his limbs, it would be no laughing matter.

After carefully avoiding him, Yamila seized the opportunity and snatched the eyeball-shaped pendant that Jier was clutching in his hand.

She had long since grown accustomed to this terrifying sensory ability, so anomalies in the sky or the movement of the earth's energy were all second nature to her. Jier, meanwhile, panted heavily, and only after resting on the ground for a good while did he slowly crawl back up.

Jier's face looked awful, and he stared at Yamila with an indescribable expression.

"Is this the world through your eyes? It's truly terrifying!" Jier said softly.

Yamila shook her head: "No, didn't I say? The ability of this Magic Pendant can only slightly enhance your perception; it's still far from what I experience."

"Doesn't that make it even more terrifying?" Jier asked.

Yamila shrugged: "I was scared out of my wits all day when I was little, but I got used to it as I grew older. After all, even though those things are terrifying, I couldn't understand what they represented. It wasn't until I was sent to the Magic Tower to study Magic that I truly realized what the sky, the earth, the sun, and the moon—things I was accustomed to—actually represented. And just how insignificant we Humans are."

She shook her head, and seeing Jier still swaying and unable to stand steadily, she stepped forward to take Jier's hand, guiding him back to the Magic Cabin and letting him sit in the control chair.

"Do you know? If you look up at the sun during the day, you will understand that the total Magic Power that all the Mages in the world can release and control in their entire lives probably doesn't compare to the energy the sun releases in a single second. Ah, whatever Sun God, they are all just fake, fabricated Spirits."

Yamila said some terrifying things.

She herself didn't care at all, and Jier also had his own insights, so he knew that what Yamila said was actually the truth.

Those high and mighty gods were all created by the seemingly fragile masses of living beings, weren't they?

Neither of them said anything more, just silently drinking the lemon flower tea at the perfect temperature, and for a time, the fragrance of lemon drifted through the hall.

Jier chewed a Lemon Milk Cube a few times, swallowed it, and spoke up: "Then, are you still selling this thing?"

Yamila was actually quite surprised: "After what just happened, you still intend to buy it? Many of my fellow Magic Apprentices tried that thing once and never dared to speak to me again, as if I were a Monster. Although in some respects, I am indeed a Monster different from ordinary people."

"However, my teacher thinks very highly of me. Although I don't study hard enough and am not proactive in refining Magic Power, he always says that I will be an accomplished Mage in the future, unlike him."

Jier coughed lightly: "Of course I want to buy it. Compared to other things, perhaps it will bring me much greater help. After all, this world is so complex; an eye that can see the truth beneath the appearance of all things can help me more."

"Jier, you really know how to talk. Alright, anyway, this thing was a product of my own whim, and I didn't know how much it should sell for, so why don't you name a price?"

Yamila placed the eyeball-shaped Gem Pendant from her hand onto the table and pushed it toward Jier.

Jier carefully avoided the pendant itself, only pinching the thin cord with metal wires above it, and placed it on the table in front of him.

"As for the price, it can't be low, after all, this thing is very special. By the way, it should have a name, right?" Jier asked.

Yamila shook her head: "No name. Almost every companion who touched it didn't like it, and I have no use for it. If I hadn't poured it out of the bag this time, I would have almost forgotten its existence."

Jier looked at the eyeball-shaped Gem Pendant on the table, then looked up at Yamila's eyes. Their gazes met, and Yamila turned her head away, slightly shy.

"What are you looking at me for? You're so young, you're not the type of man I like."

Jier shrugged: "What are you thinking? I meant to say, since it is a Magic Tool made with your blood and your soul that possesses your special abilities, why not name it after you?"

"My name? That wouldn't be good, would it? Only some well-known Mages would use their names to name some Magic or Magic creations. Even my teacher doesn't have many Magic creations recognized by other Mages that are named after him, and there isn't even a single spell named after him."

Yamila shook her head repeatedly, her hands waving as well, refusing Jier's suggestion.

But Jier didn't care at all how embarrassed Yamila was, and said straightforwardly: "Let's just call it the 【Yamila no Me】. Through this Magic Gemstone that looks like an eye, I will possess excellent perception like yours, distinguishing the truth and falsehood of all things in the world."

Yamila's face under the mask was already blushing, but Jier couldn't see it. Seeing that her face wasn't red and she was only refusing with her mouth and hands, he assumed Yamila disagreed on the surface but was secretly pleased inside, so he nodded affirmatively and said again: "For this 【Yamila no Me】, I can't pay too little, fifty Gold Coins! How about that? Plus the other Magic Tools, a total of three Light Rings, eight Gold Coins each, for a total of twenty-four Gold Coins."

"One Electric Shock Magic Ring, thirty Gold Coins," Jier said, counting the Magic Tools one by one.

Yamila came back to her senses, excitedly listening to these numbers representing money popping out of Jier's mouth. These things she made that were of no use were finally sold today to a young Knight from another country who hadn't had much contact with Magic, and it looked like this young Knight was also very rich!

"One Magic Protection Ring, twenty-five Gold Coins," Jier continued.

"One Strength Enhancement Iron Bracelet, fifteen Gold Coins. One piece of processed and modified Nas Magic Ore, twenty Gold Coins. And this 【Yamila no Me】, fifty Gold Coins. A total of one hundred and thirty-nine Gold Coins. Phew, that's really not a small sum of money."

Jier shook his head. It didn't seem like much when calculating individually, but he didn't expect to spend over a hundred Gold Coins on Magic Tools this time. Although they were all Magic Tools made by Yamila with the assistance of her senior fellow apprentice, they actually sold for so much, so expensive.

Yamila was naturally stomping her feet in excitement, while Jier was calculating whether the Gold Coins in his money bag were enough.

For these items worth over a hundred Gold Coins, he had spent about the same amount when he reforged the Long Sword Hunting Sword before; it seemed the Hunting Sword cost even more. So Jier wasn't that excited.

He certainly had that much money, but now that he was giving these spendable coins to the other party, how would he pay the bounties and wages for his Warrior team? After all, in the upcoming attack on the Defeated Soldier Jiedian, the Warriors would certainly have gains. Even if Jier killed more, those dozens of Soldiers would certainly have at least ten or twenty killed by the Warriors. If they were killed, he had to give bounty rewards; this was the rule he had set.

He had to follow the rules he set himself.

So, after thinking for a moment, Jier said to Yamila: "Look, I certainly don't have these hundred-plus Gold Coins on me, right? Leave these things here for now. Can you fill the internal Magic Power of the ones that use Magic Crystals? And I will go get the money now?"

"Of course, of course, that's only right!" Yamila nodded repeatedly. This deal was the largest cash transaction she had made in the last year. She also didn't expect that in such a remote place, she could earn such a large sum of money!

If she counted the 【Lizardman Transformation Potion】 she would embezzle later, that would be another large sum of money. The income of these few hundred Gold Coins would suddenly make her dwindling wealth rich again!

"Hehe, they all say that external missions are bitter and earn little, but I don't think so."

Yamila giggled as she picked up a Lemon Milk Cube and enjoyed it with the lemon flower tea, while Jier didn't even bother with the Dwarf Long Spear on the wall, treating it as a kind of alternative collateral, and turned to walk out of the Magic Cabin.

Yamila's joyful mood froze when she saw Jier sitting in the air more than two meters high.

She naturally sensed that Jier was sitting in a mass of massive Divine Power Creation, but she saw that the thing hardly made contact or reacted with anything other than Jier.

The soft ground of the Shulin left no footprints, and the passing tree roots and branches couldn't touch that Divine Power Creation. Only Jier, wearing a Helmet, would be hit by branches when passing through the Shulin.

It wasn't until Jier disappeared into the Shulin that she blinked and silently pondered what was going on with that Divine Power Creation.

Mages certainly had serious research on the power of gods, even if gods and the church didn't like Mages. But the Mage community couldn't help but trade, record knowledge, and trade knowledge among peers.

This allowed the Mage community to always spread the word whenever anyone had the opportunity to study the power of gods, bringing the Mage community a step closer to understanding gods and the church.

But the gods and the church's understanding of Mages could only be superficial. After all, most Mages lived in their own Magic Towers for a long time, teaching students and doing research all day. Even if they went out to communicate and participate in social activities, they mostly dealt with Nobles in the upper echelons of society.

This left the church, which communicated and connected with commoners most of the time, with insufficient contact with Mages.

"If only I could gain a deeper understanding of Jier's Divine Power Creation." After Yamila finished speaking, she shrugged, knowing she had said nonsense: "How is that possible? How could the ability personally bestowed by a god allow me to study it?"

But she suddenly realized that Jier had left one thing in the Magic Cabin. She hurriedly stood up and asked the Spirit of the Magic Cabin—Mimi—to take out the few research and testing Magic Tools here, preparing to study his Dwarf Long Spear before Jier returned.

The data obtained would certainly be simple things, but perhaps it could be sold to some forging masters in the Kingdom. After all, Dwarf things were still rare in their country, unlike the Saint Hors Kingdom, where she heard the Western Province had been at war with Dwarfs.

Jier's Dwarf weapon might have been captured through war in this way.

"Hurry, hurry! Mimi, be quick, move everything down from upstairs. Oh my, my head is spinning. Mimi, never mind, can't we just take this Dwarf Long Spear to the second floor! What are you still standing there for, hurry, hurry, hurry!"

Yamila was in a rush, running straight to the second floor of the house in her soft slippers, while Mimi also obediently took Jier's Dwarf Long Spear off the weapon display wall at the entrance of the first floor, directly opened the ceiling of the first-floor hall, operated the various Magic structural mechanisms on the ceiling, and opened a hole leading to the floor of the small research room on the second floor all the way.

The long Dwarf Long Spear was sent directly from the first floor to the second floor by the little hands, even faster than Yamila who was climbing the stairs.

"Well done! Mimi, later I will have Jier get you lots of delicious beasts! Ooh, thinking about it, will the money I just got have to be spent on hiring someone to hunt beasts? Oh my, Mimi, it's not that I'm reluctant to spend that money to get you good food, don't you know me yet? Among the teacher's Magic Apprentice, am I not the one who loves you the most?"

Yamila shouted triumphantly, while also embellishing and describing the other Magic Apprentice as having all sorts of strange shapes and eccentric personalities, describing how they peeked and wanted to obtain, or even study and dismantle this Magic Tool house of Mimi, scaring the Magic Tool house Mimi into shivering, with the whole house trembling slightly.

Jier did not go far; he entered the lady's dream directly and took out three Silver Plate pieces obtained from the Elf Ancient Ruins.

These things were made of pure silver, large and heavy; before Knight Training, Jier could only carry one at a time, but now it was different, he easily held all three in his hands and weighed them.

The weight of one Silver Plate is not light, about ten kilograms, or 9.45 kilograms if weighed carefully. And one silver coin of the Saint Hors Kingdom weighs about twenty grams, which means this one Silver Plate is worth four hundred and seventy-two silver coins.

Which is forty-seven Gold Coin and two silver coins.

And Jier needs to pay a total of one hundred and thirty-nine Gold Coin for this purchase of Magic Tool, which is exactly about the weight of three Silver Plate pieces.

Yamila even has to give him change of two gold and six silver!

Jier smiled, he held the three Silver Plate pieces in his arms and was about to return to the Magic Tool house, but he stopped.

If he went back now, it would seem a bit too fast; even if the other party didn't know Jier's specific situation, Jier bringing such large and heavy precious metal plates so quickly, what would that imply?

It implies that Jier's temporary Jiedian is in the vicinity of the Magic Tool house; such a close distance would probably make the other party think of some bad things, such as thinking Jier has been monitoring them, which would damage the relationship.

Even though they had just conducted such a large transaction, and the atmosphere during this transaction was so relaxed and pleasant.

"Then let's wait a while. Right, right, oh my, I've been delayed here for so long, it's time to contact my companions and tell them about my battle plan."

After Jier finished talking to himself, he had Big Nose take him to the Defeated Soldier Jiedian, to meet up with Xueya Site at the Bei Mian first.
