Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong Chapter 2996 1638: Marketplace (Part 2)

Within the crowded special market, the two powerful Dwarf Clan individuals swiftly discerned that the Human Clan Emperor's unexpected arrival wasn't merely for a straightforward mineral exchange; the vendor's price alone wouldn't have dictated the situation.

"Since Your Majesty of the Humans has decreed it, I, the General, shall raise no objections."

The Rock General casually offered, shrugging his broad shoulders.

"My sentiments exactly, I too have no objections, so let us commence our trade."

Without further ado, the Secret Flame Duke made a simple gesture, causing two exquisite magic crystals to materialize. One was presented to the vendor, and the other was handed to Leo Ray.

The Rock General produced similar items, placing them all into Leo Ray's possession.

Witnessing this exchange, the unaffiliated powerhouses observing nearby couldn't help but swallow, their gazes fixed with sheer envy.

The caliber of these magic crystals was quite exceptional. Although each individual piece wasn't quite sufficient to acquire a premium Tier 6 divine weapon, they were indeed valuable enough for a regular Tier 6 divine weapon. For the vast majority, obtaining any Tier 6 weapon was already a distant aspiration.

Yet, Leo Ray's demeanor remained utterly composed as he nonchalantly secured the magic crystals.

Despite their high quality and rarity, typically found only within the domains of top-tier factions, these magic crystals were of little consequence to him. He had recently received a considerably larger cache of even higher-grade magic crystals from Anna.

Having acquired their desired goods, neither the Secret Flame Duke nor the Rock General displayed overt elation, maintaining their authoritative and proud bearing.

After all, being aristocrats from elite factions, they represented the dignity of their respective powers. Consequently, they would not betray their emotions like those unaffiliated cultivators. They possessed the means for their arrogance and the backing for their composure.

"Your Majesty of the Humans, now that everyone has obtained their desired items, we shall take our leave."

The Rock General offered a slight nod to Leo Ray before turning to depart. The Secret Flame Duke mirrored this action, giving a subtle nod towards Leo Ray as well.

"Might I trouble the two esteemed individuals to wait a moment longer?"

Leo Ray responded with a faint smile, continuing, "To be frank, though my lands are somewhat humble, I occasionally unearth rare forging materials akin to Silent Star Meteorite Iron. I am confident these would pique your interest." Upon hearing this, the Secret Flame Duke and the Rock General immediately grasped his intent. It became clear why this young Human Clan Emperor had initiated contact, unconcerned with the trading price. He sought to forge a connection, aspiring to engage with them further to gain access to the influential factions they represented.

"I am uncertain of your availability, but perhaps we could arrange a visit, either by myself to your domain or by yourselves as my guests? I believe such an engagement would prove mutually beneficial."

Leo Ray maintained his subtle smile as he spoke.

Leo Ray understood perfectly that these two Dwarf nobles were intelligent beings, thus necessitating no veiled language; he could be direct in his proposal.

"I, the General, comprehend Your Majesty's intentions. Upon my return to my clan, I shall ensure this matter is thoroughly reported."

The Rock General affirmed with a nod, his large, round eyes locking onto Leo Ray. He added, "However, I must caution Your Majesty that any dealings with us require substantial backing. We exclusively engage with those who possess genuine value, not merely those who are adept at pleasantries." "Precisely the point I, the Duke, wished to convey,"

The Secret Flame Duke stroked his thick beard, elaborating, "While I am quite content with this current transaction, its scope is limited. Should Your Majesty of the Humans fail to present adequate resources in the future, do not hold us accountable for any unneighborly actions." "Rest assured, I am confident that our future interactions will be beneficial to us both." Leo Ray raised an eyebrow slightly, offered his farewells, and turned to leave.

Having established a preliminary understanding with these two prominent figures, his primary objective for this excursion had been successfully met.

The Dwarf Clan's renowned expertise in forging divine weapons and armaments presented him with an invaluable avenue to acquire sixth-order equipment. Even if he were to concede some advantages to them, it represented a guaranteed win for someone endowed with a Golden Finger Talent like his.

As for ensuring their willing cooperation upon their next encounter, that was a far simpler matter. Though they might feign indifference now, he possessed the means to compel them to adopt a more accommodating stance.

Observing Leo Ray's retreating form, the Secret Flame Duke and the Rock General remained impassive, departing separately. Meanwhile, the surrounding unaffiliated powerhouses cast looks of profound respect towards Leo Ray.

The formidable strength of the Dwarf Clan was undeniable, a fact universally acknowledged. Leo Ray, as the de facto leader among the second-tier powers, was indisputably an ascending star, possessing a foundation that even surpassed that of the Broken Wing King.

At this rate of growth, it was possible that another colossal power would emerge.

Amidst the throng, one pair of eyes watched with deep reverence, belonging, as expected, to the vendor who had found himself in a desperate plight earlier.

Even though the Human Clan Emperor had uttered no words to him, the Emperor's mere presence had rescued him from his earlier predicament; without it, he might currently be suffering severe blows.

"Those two beastly monstrosities are truly quite presumptuous. Your Majesty must not tolerate their arrogance in the future."
