Kapitel 52: Chapter 52

After the entire day of training, eating, and more training, we arrived on Nirva Island just before the sun went down. Nirva Island is a small island with only one town and a few villages on the other sides of the island.

They are an agricultural island providing food to the Island Nations Federation and Falena Queendom. However, because of how small the island is, it is not a resource-rich island. It needed to trade its goods to other countries like the Falena Queendom or the Scarlet Moon Empire.

I can use all the swords and spears I bought in exchange for food. However, what I want to trade is the Black Pepper. With their usual trade to the Island Nations Federation getting cut off, I can trade their black pepper before the Spices Guild in the federation meddle in this trade.

Nirva Island is an island where Black Pepper plants grow wildly. It is cheap for the people of Nirva, but for those in Falena Queendom? It is a hidden gold. Even though the island is closer to the Queendom, the Spices Guild controls the trade.

With the rumor of the Spices Guild being absent from Nirva Island, my money-making sense is screaming at me to go to this place. So here we are.

"Haaa~ It has been a while since I visited this place."

I look at Norma and Ernst (Who is cured of his curse) and say.

" Have you two been here?"

Norma nods her head and says.

"Yeah. We have been to this place in the past. Our previous circus group visited this place, and we performed on this island for three days. It was a great time."

"That is just because they let you eat as much as you want."

Ernst says, and Norma rubs the back of her head sheepishly. I shake my head and say.

"Anyway, you guys go ahead and explore the city. I will have a talk with the lord of this place and ask him if he wants some trade with us."

The others nod their heads while I walk toward the biggest building in the town. When I arrived there, the guard walked forward and said,

"Halt! What do you want, stranger?"

"I come from the Queendom of Falena. I come here to do some trade."

"Then you should visit the Trading House instead of the Lord's Mansion."

"This is something that I cannot trade in the Trading House."

After saying that, I took out two swords from my inventory. I can see the guard preparing to attack me, but when they see I did not make a move, they nod their head and say,

"Very well. I shall inform the lord. Wait here and please put away those swords for now."

I nod, put away my sword, and see one of the guards get inside the mansion. I wait for a couple of minutes before the guard returns and says.

"The lord will see you. Follow me."

The guard took me inside the mansion and took me to the third floor, where he took me to one of the rooms. When the guard opened the door, I could see five people inside the room. Four of them have weapons ready to be drawn, and the last one sits behind a fancy desk.

"Welcome to my lovely town, stranger. My name is Harrison Burley, the lord of Nirva Island."

"It is an honor to meet you, my lord. My name is Gerrald and I am a merchant from Queendom of Falena."

"It is nice to meet you, Gerrald. Now, you want to trade something you cannot do through Trading House, right?"

"That is correct. May I use my magic to show you the goods?"

"You may."

I nod and take out five swords from my inventory. The Lord looks at me in surprise and says,

"What an interesting magic. Something that many merchants envy."

"Thank you, my lord."

Lord Harrison nods his head and takes one of the swords. He takes it out of the sheath and inspects it.

"They are great. The balance and weight are excellent and great for a speed fighter."

He then looks at me and says.

"How many do you have?"

"I currently have one hundred and twenty swords and seventy-five spear heads."

"Not a full spear, huh?"

"It is too long for my inventory."

Of course, I am lying. It is cheaper to buy a spearhead than an entire spear.

"I see. How much will you sell it to us?"

"I will sell them for two thousand and five hundred Potch for each sword."

"That much? Can you lower it down?"

"You know that this is already a low-end price, my lord. However, because of your pirate problem, I am willing to lower it to two thousand and two hundred Potch for each sword if you buy more than fifty swords."

Lord Harrison thinks for a few seconds before saying.

"I will take all of them. How about the other one?"

"That one is cheaper—five hundred and fifty Potch for one of them. However, I am willing to sell five hundred if you buy more than fifty of them."

Lord Harrison nods his head and says.

"It is a deal."

|3rd POV|

Freyjadour hears the situation in Lelcar and cannot help but sigh. With the increasing unrest between the three districts of Lelcar and his presence in this city, the situation gets even more heated.

Especially when he rescues the young men Godwin forcefully drafts to join the war.

Now that Godwin knows that he is here, they are currently massing a force to kick him out and kill all the people who support his cause. Now, they are coming here in force.

"Godwin's vanguard ships have started heading south toward Lelcar! They sail under the command of the Queen's Knight, Zahak!"

Freyjadour looks at Lelei, his temporary tactician, while he is in this city. The woman looks at the prince and says.

"What's the plan, Your Highness? There's little time! We must move now if we want to escape!"

Freyjadour shakes his head and looks at Lelei with a fire of determination.

"No, I want to protect Lelcar."

Lelei nods her head and says.

"Understood! I shall prepare the others. We shall use the environment to our advantage. We might have a smaller number, I think we can defeat them. Combine it with the force from Raftfleet, we have a high chance of winning."

Freyjadour can only nod his head while hoping that something good is happening. He had this bad feeling in the back of his head all day and knew something terrible would happen in this fight. He only hope that it is not that bad.
