Re: In My Bloody Hit Novel - Chapter 506
Chapter 506: Batter For Nora 2
This is the border to the Holy land, no pagan god is so foolish to exercise power here, or is that not so, Lady Laqua?”
For a moment, there was total silence. Laqua did not say anything, and subconsciously, all eyes were on her.
Meanwhile, Old Fang at the side, could not help but give a side smile. Truly, his young master was very capable. His ability to read the situation and twist the happenings to his favor was the reason he was able to even keep his uncle and his cousins away from the succession as master of the diligence family.
This was indeed an incredible ability. He was not strong when it came to martial arts but the cap of leadership was that he was gifted with.
After a few seconds of silence, Laqua cracked a side smile, “not bad!” she muttered to herself. She had heard of this Eunid, a talent of the young generation, same as Iris. Truly, the rumors were true with this one.
He handled this situation in such a way that impressed her as much as it surprised her.
She could have said more, but she was a warrior and was not suited for such matters that depended on eloquence with words. Besides, she could tell that against this young master’s tongue, she was probably not going to win.
And so she backed off.
“Truly, young master Eunid, you are right. My eyes were fuzzy, as such I did not see clearly. It would seem like the goddess has granted this one life.”
Eunid sighed a sigh of relieve in his heart.
However, Laqua also wanted to get back at him.
“Since it is so, I do not mind granting her freedom. You know a lot of captives are taken from the Lesser world, I truly do not know what part she came from, and from the looks of it, she is not an Awakened. Meaning that she won’t survive in our world beyond the parting Veil. But since its the will of the goddess, there is nothing I can do, I’ll just let her wonder the wilderness of the lesser world alone. You know, through the Garden of Empty Dreams.” Laqua massaged her jaw, as if thinking hard.
“No! That is not right. I heard that is a Cardinal zone. Her life might be in danger. Hmmm, How about the unpredictable wild sea that brought her here in the first place. However, it is called unpredictable for a reason you know. Coming might have been a smooth ride, but going…Hmmm!” She massaged her jaws some more, as if racking her brain in thought.
Eunid knew what she was doing. She bought his message the last time and agreed with him. It was obviously his turn. Then again, what she was saying now aligned with his goals.
“How about her take her from your hands. She is still a slave right? Having one that has been pardoned by the goddess will be an honor.”
“Oh! If you say so young master. I do not want to stress you, but if you truly can help me with this blessed one, then I dont mind. How about this much…” she made a description with her fingers in the air.
“Ten Fate bronze coins?” He asked.
she chuckled, “No young master. More like, Ten thousand…” she grinned, “Fate Gold Coins, of course!”
Eunid literally stumbled on the spot, as he almost vomited blood. His eyes twitched a bit, “But Lady Laqua, is that not a little too much, the most expensive slave here costs what… a hundred gold coins, a thousand gold coins at most.”
She nodded, “of course, young master. But you see, those slaves have not been touched by a god. You and I know that to receive the blessing of a god is undoubtedly an honor. Naturally, your Diligence family is about to receive such incredible blessing. I am so jealous. Even if she polishes your floors, it might literally turn to gold.
After all, it is the touch of a god.” Her smile remained. And then she enjoyed the look on the boy’s face, knowing fully well that it wa stoo much.
Eunid gritted his teeth harshly.
Old Fang wanted to talk, but he could not. He was a commoner and this was a push and pull between aristocrats. Besides, this was another lesson for Eunid to learn.
Obviously even the talented young man still had his rough edges.
“You know what?” Laqua’s voice was heard again, “why don’t we do this instead. After all, If I remember correctly and I do, your family is a bit strained on money. But as a fellow virtue family, we are to help one another in times of need.
Also because its the first time you have visited my market, I’ll give you a discount. How about five thousand gold coins. That’s better right!? I have cut down my prices by half. At least, this much even you are capable of achieving.”
There was a little more silence, and Eunid was holding back the urge to walk up there and throw a punch to the smug look on the woman’s face.
However, he had to hold it back.
“Or are you more capable than that and I take it to maybe eight thou…”
“No! No!! Don’t do that. I will take the five thousand. You are very… generous, Lady laqua.” he raised his head, forcing a smile on his face.

old Fang sighed as he looked at his young master. “Your father is not going to be happy about this you know?” he whispered lightly.
“I know!” Eunid responded, “but I still think we might be getting far more than our money’s worth.”
Laqua smiled, “I’ll have the girl prepared for you, a proper bath and some clothes, and a tag so she wont die before reaching your lands.”
She turned about and walked away, smiling at the profit she had just made.
She was not so good at a lot of things, but a good bargain was her field, trained with years of experience. Even a Talented Genius like Eunid had to respect that fact.
However, as she walked away, Iris landed gracefully by her side. Although she did, her eyes were still on Eunid and Nora, being carried away.
“Is something the matter?” Laqua noticed her niece’s mood.
“That slave! The one you just sold. She had the mark of the Talent swapping flower on her chest.”
Laqua smiled, “so she is even a broken toy. Truly trash then. Its even better.”
However, Iris frowned a little, “The Yin and Yang Talent swapping flower is a dangerous spirit herb to use. Even the person taking the talent could die.”
“Your point?” Laqua asked.
“What kind of talent did she have that one would risk death to steal…”
