Death’s Daughter Chapter 272

Author: FoodLovingPanda

CHAPTER 272:

“Nao-chan you’re too excited and your eyes are scary. I have a feeling I am about to suffer a loss.”

“You’re overthinking things. In fact, what I want to do is something that you are really looking forward to. Earlier today, I had a discussion with Dogusu and if you are interested, we are willing to sell some of our wyverns.”

Although I was excited, I toned down my enthusiasm a bit. However, just from one look, I could see that this deal was already settled. He really needs those wyverns, but there was no way to get them, until now that is. The efficiency of Dragon’s Descent to snatch young wyverns is very good, much better than that of the kingdom’s soldiers. We never sold them freely like this, but soon things will change.

“Seriously, you’re selling them? How many? I’ll buy them all. We can talk about the price, as long as it is reasonable, there will be no problem buying a few dozen of them at once.”

Wow, so rich. Good thing that I already had a price in mind.

“I’m willing to sell you twenty wyverns. As for the price, two thousand gold coins should do. We already used this price once before. I think it is fair. What do you say? You should be aware how useful wyverns are.”

He now has Sharpbeak and it followed us when we went travelling. I could probably raise the price even more, but if I raise it too much, he might not buy all twenty of them.

“Twenty? You are really generous this time around. Let’s do it. I will bring the Minister of Finance and the Captain of the Guard tomorrow to finalize the purchase. I think that price is fair and reasonable and will not try to cut it further. You’re really being nice to me, Nao-chan.”

Nice? No, I just really need the money. Lots and lots of money.

“I’ll make sure to put that money to good use. I’ll send someone to bring the younglings and they should arrive in a week or so. At first, I wanted to wait before proposing this deal, but seeing you here, I decided to let you know about it immediately.”

And so, we ended our conversation on a high note. Just thinking about the 40,000 gold coins that are about to come to me, I couldn’t help but smile the entire time. I knew that I would be having sweet dreams tonight.

When I sent him off, I immediately left a message for Dogusu and went to sleep. Vitou should bring everyone first thing in the morning. After the sale is finished, I can visit the research base. I want to ask Rio about the progress of his research. I really hope there is some sort of breakthrough by now. He is not the type that will sit idly, especially if there are new things to think about.

Despite sleeping late last night, I woke up at the break of dawn. I couldn’t let Vitou and the rest wait. They are, after all, bringing in a huge amount of money. I can start recruiting talents sooner. There is a good saying that money can make ghosts work, and I am about to get that money. The workers will come later.

It turned out it was good to be prepared, because even before 7AM, the three people arrived at my mansion. I had Dogusu with me and the sales contract was soon made. I received the deposit of 10,000 gold coins. The rest will be paid upon delivery of wyverns.

“Congratulations Vitou, you now have twenty more wyverns. Take care of them once you receive them.”

“If it weren’t for you, I don’t know when I would be able to get so many of them. Having them already tamed makes it easier for us as well. Nao-chan, make sure you come to the castle in the evening, there will be a feast to celebrate this deal.”

“I’ll be there, don’t worry. I’ll be seeing you off now. I still have a ton of work to do and can’t stay around to entertain you. See you later.”

As soon as the guests left, I went to the secret underground research base. I wanted to meet with Rio, but he wasn’t here. That is why I decided to check on the monster area. The main topic of research was the probability of taming different monsters depending on age and species. I also wanted to know how well the tamed monsters act when dealing with other people aside from the tamer. The exceptions to this research are babies that have been tamed and raised by a third party. It is already known there are no problems in such cases, as long as the monster grows up by the side of the third party.

Right now there aren’t any extremely dangerous or ferocious monsters being kept by us, but according to the trend the gathered data shows, the older and the more dangerous the animal is, the harder it is to tame them. There are some better responses to people that have monster tamer class, as well as those that show indication of unlocking the class. As for the other classes, it is extremely hard to control the adult monsters.

I must say that I was expecting results like this, however this also gives me the excuse of being able to raise the price of all young monsters when selling them in the future. When everything is set up in the Sunset Islands, I can open a few breeding grounds. This is bound to take up a lot of money to maintain, but the profits it will bring long term will be more than enough to cover everything. Everyone will want to have a beast companion in the future and I want mine to be the best of the best.

“Boss, you’re finally here. What do you think of those results? If you want to get rich, this is the way to do it. You should get some of the guys to start looking for rare and exotic monsters. Those rich guys will pay heavy money just to be able to show them off.”

“Rio, I was looking for you. Don’t worry, in the future, our houses will be made of gold. Let’s go, I want to hear about the results of your research. That is more important to me right now.”

Rio finally appeared and the two of us returned to his lab. As the one in charge, he should have the most comprehensive overview of all the research going on in this base. But the main thing that I wanted to find out is whether or not he was able to figure out the way to create transmission and teleportation magic circles.

“I have some good news and some bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?”
