Swear Fealty To Me, My Subjects!

Goblin: "Let me explain things to you briefly, Miss White Vulture. What we want is not Obadiah, but a weapon that Obadiah is guarding. That is very important to Gold Village. Right now, it should be in Hela Haines's hands."

White Vulture: "So, you guys intend for me to snatch that thing for you guys?"

The goblin said, "That's the worst case scenario, but it's indeed possible. What do you think?"

"Hmm…"

White Vulture pondered for a moment. "You'll have to pay more."

Goblin: "Ten times more!"

"Mmm…"

White Vulture frowned, seemingly displeased.

Nonsense!

This goblin wanted her to mess with a royal Imperial Guard!

Provoking the Haines Empire… was definitely not a wise move.

In the worst case scenario, the entire Fiend Sword Sisterhood would suffer a fatal blow and go extinct like the mages who cursed the Empress back then—no one would be spared!

Of course…

Given Gold Village's usual style, White Vulture believed that they would definitely handle the matter flawlessly.

She did not have to worry about a complete face-off against the Haines Empire.

Even so, this matter was still very difficult to resolve…

Sensing White Vulture's hesitation, the goblin said hurriedly, "What other conditions do you have? Feel free to state them."

White Vulture nodded.

She truly had a request.

White Vulture's gaze landed on the grand prince.

"It's regarding the grand prince of Haines..."

The grand prince asked, "What are you trying to say?"

White Vulture looked at the goblin and revealed an expectant smile.

"His Highness possesses a pure Order bloodline. Coincidentally, the bloodline of the Crystal God in our sisterhood has been decreasing continuously in recent years and has not been replenished. I wonder if the grand prince can take part in our secret flower ceremony?"

Secret flower ceremony?

Wasn't that the infamous ascension ritual of the Fiend Sword Sisterhood?!

The grand prince said coldly, "Be your sacrifice? I'm the grand prince of Haines and the future Emperor. What makes you think that I'll agree to it?"

The goblin shook his head and smiled bitterly. "That's right, please stop joking, Miss White Vulture."

White Vulture: "10% off commission."

The grand prince: "What a joke!"

The goblin said, "Please, Miss White Vulture. Change your request."

White Vulture: "20% off commission."

The grand prince's veins popped. "Shut up! You guys are humiliating me!"

The goblin shook his head still.

White Vulture went silent.

It had nothing to do with Grand Prince Edgeworth.

However, she truly hoped that she would be able to obtain a high-purity Order bloodline kindle for the Sisterhood.

However, from the looks of it, the price was not so easy to negotiate.

White Vulture: "…"

White Vulture: "By the way, are you certain this is really the grand prince of Haines?"

The goblin nodded. "Absolutely."

White Vulture: "His niece is Edaline?"

The goblin said, "That's right, it's Edaline, the demigod with the second highest purity of divine blood in the history of the mortal world."

"…"

White Vulture went silent.

After listening to the conversation between the grand prince and the goblin in secret, although White Vulture did not have a good impression of the grand prince, he was extremely outstanding as a sacrifice for the secret ceremony.

He was a blood relative of Edaline Haines!

White Vulture gave the final price. "70% off commission."

The grand prince's expression was contorted and he was about to flare up…

Bang!

The goblin slammed the table angrily and hollered, "That's enough! Miss White Vulture, the person you're talking to right now is the grand prince of Haines! As well as the future Emperor of Haines!"

The goblin said, "If you mention this again, please leave immediately!"

However, immediately after, the goblin lowered his voice and said in a volume that only White Vulture could hear.

"Deal! "As long as I can get what I want, I'll send this fool to your leviathan personally and guarantee that there won't be any future trouble!"

White Vulture smiled knowingly. "Deal!"

Just like that, the transaction was completed.

The goblin reverted to his friendly smile. "Your Highness, let Miss White Vulture send you off then."

"Oh, right, Your Highness. There's something else I want to confirm…"

The goblin had a kind smile. "I want to know if Prince Rayne was involved in the matter of the ancient dragon?"

"Of course not!"

The grand prince sneered, "You think a brat like him can even dream of killing an ancient dragon? You guys are really overestimating him!"

In other words, the next enemy of Gold Village was only Hela Haines, right?

That would be good…

In reality, the goblin was still wary of Prince Rayne.

The matter of the IOU was one thing.

There was another matter that was even more troubling...

He was a little afraid that something unexpected might happen after White Vulture made contact with Prince Rayne.

The Fiend Sword Sisterhood was an extremely famous mercenary group in the mortal world.

However, they were not an organization.

It was a race.

The incomplete bloodline ascension ritual caused the race of the Fiend Sword Sisterhood to be distorted and tampered with, turning them into a deformed species that could only give birth to women.

Their only way of expanding was the so-called secret flower ceremony.

It was an imitation of the Haines Church's ascension ritual. However, without the support of a goddess, it could only be said to be extremely crude.

Furthermore, in order to conduct the ascension ritual, they had to search through the mortal world for kindles with qualified bloodlines.

Outstanding kindles could purify the purity of the Sisterhood's bloodline and was an extremely important strategic resource for the Sisterhood.

Obviously, the grand prince of Haines was one such outstanding kindle.

However…

He was not the best.

In Haines, there was another legendary kindle that was far stronger than the grand prince in all aspects.

The Prince of Haines.

Rayne Haines.

That guy was Edaline's brother!
