Chapter 723: "A Deal With Demetra"
Chapter 723: “A Deal With Demetra”
Ainsley’s eyes lit up at Demetra’s words, but before she nodded, she bit her lips and cautiously asked Demetra.
[Uh…to borrow your ability, I have to grant one of your wishes. Is there anything that you want me to do? Or maybe something you want to have? A rare item or something…]
This was the rule of the ambassador-type shaman when they borrowed another spirit’s ability. They had to ‘pay’ the spirit for their service by giving something to the spirit.
Of course, the payment could be negotiated until both sides agree to the negotiation term.
Demetra was visibly taken aback when she heard that Ainsley would grant one of her wishes, either material wish or non-materialistic wish.
The woman was silent for a few seconds, trying to think of something when she suddenly snapped her fingers and grinned.
[You are…the Sloan Family Head, right?]
[Right…]
[I heard that the Sloan Family rules over the Godfather Mausoleum?]
The Godfather Mausoleum was really an important place that even the 7 great and 7 sacred families wanted to monopolize.
However, to make it fair, none of the big bosses was allowed to own the Godfather Mausoleum. Only their affiliated families could do that.
In this generation, for ten years, the one owning the mausoleum was a high-ranking family under one of the 7 sacred families.
The 7 great families could do nothing about this and could only cultivate their affiliated families to go against that high-ranking family.
But who would have known that a middle-ranking family popped out of nowhere and managed to snatch the mausoleum?
They even set all the spirits free and turn the mausoleum into a spirit market where spirits could leave anytime but couldn’t enter without paying the price.
This kind of business made the spirits accustomed to a ‘free life’ without being trapped inside the mausoleum.
If one day the owner changed, they would absolutely leave the mausoleum in fear of getting trapped for a long time.
To hell with the abundant spiritual energy!
Or maybe all of them would side with Ainsley to enjoy the mausoleum’s benefit without being trapped and used as a ‘nourishment’ for the shamans.
This kind of heaven-defying change startled everyone, including the Meidian Family.
They might not be a shaman-centered family, but they also thought that Ainsley’s new regulation was beneficial for all forces, not being monopolized by one side alone.
Thus, the Meidian Family talked about sending their children to visit the mausoleum frequently in the hope of awakening a shaman among their new generations.
After all, there were also a lot of formidable healers among dead spirits.
If their little shaman was favored by one of these healers, it was the same as strengthening their family’s value as a healer family.
Demetra overheard the talk but realized that the Meidian Family hadn’t contacted Ainsley for a long time because the baby was busy with the tournament.
Thus, the family hasn’t proposed this cooperation project to the Sloan Family up to now.
Demetra only wanted to protect her Meidian Family and bring more benefit to them. Now that she has a chance…
Her eyes sparkled as she looked at Ainsley as if she were a delicious prey.
[I want my Meidian family to have a life-time pass to visit your mausoleum every single day. An hour a day for ten children is enough. How is it?]
It’s not like Ainsley would suffer a huge time just because she gave this free pass, anyway.
The ticket fee was indeed expensive, and sometimes Ainsley required the visitors to give rare items or anything that she needed urgently.
But to give the free pass to the Meidian Family…it wasn’t that bad. Ten children, an hour a day, for a lifetime.
In exchange, Ainsley would have a strong connection with the Meidian Family over this agreement!
Ainsley hadn’t befriended the healer guild or the Meidian Family. To have a family of healers being one of your backers…why not??
Ainsley had the backing of the alchemist guild, the summoner guild, the beast tamer guild, the monster tamer guild, the shaman guild, and now…the healer guild.
That’s such a perfect line-up, isn’t it?
The shaman guild was already so attached to the Sloan Family because of the Godfather’s mausoleum. The alchemist guild was slightly attached because of Ainsley’s mysterious elf alchemist.
The monster tamer and beast tamer guild liked Ainsley’s unique ‘taming’ ability, and when she created the Irregular Tamers Guild, they would be even more attached than before.
The summoner guild…not too close, but not that unfamiliar either.
The healer guild…time to capture the healer guild and the Meidian Family!
Ainsley immediately nodded and agreed to Demetra’s request.
[Okay! After you lend me your ability and after I save my people, I’ll immediately fulfill my promise. If I don’t, I will lose my ambassador prestige and will receive a punishment!]
While agreeing to Demetra’s wish, Ainsley also recalled Caca’s sickly older sister, who ordered a potion to cure her weird, mysterious illness.
The potion could elevate the illness’ side effects but couldn’t cure her perfectly.
Now…with her future connection with the Meidian Family and the healer guilds, there’s a larger chance to cure the young woman’s illness.
After all, the Meidian Family also had special doctors that could cure many illnesses!
Ainsley was beaming as she talked about the details with Demetra for ten minutes before closing the agreement.
Demetra was satisfied with the exchange and immediately tapped Ainsley’s forehead with her fingers.
[With this, I lend you my ‘Walking Elixir’ ability and will be active for twelve hours.]
Ainsley immediately activated her shaman ability and slowly received Demetra’s ability.
The baby just couldn’t stop smiling from ear to ear.
Cure– get!
