<h4>Chapter 541: Potential Partnership</h4>


    Although Luna detested Ghur, her expression betrayed no hint of revulsion.


    Throughout the entire time, she remained extremely courteous but noticeablycked enthusiasm toward him.


    “I can guarantee she’s taken a liking to you. Do you want to make a move on her? In my experience, you have a sixty percent chance of sess!” Ghur whispered to Sein via mental focus.


    Sein rolled his eyes at Ghur’s words, dismissing them.


    After taking a tour of Luna’s establishment, Sein, who was usually quiet, suddenly asked, “Have you considered expanding your business to other divine towers in the Magus World?”


    Sein’s question caught Luna off guard before her eyes lit up, sparkling like magicoins.


    “Of course! Our tribe has hundreds of thousands of ves ready for sale, and we can increase supply to meet demand if needed,” she replied eagerly.


    “Master Sein, do you have any well-off clients you might rmend?” Luna asked, blinking herrge, light blue eyes as she moved closer to Sein.


    For Luna’s tribe, the primary challenge in the current enved creature trade was not ack of supply, but a scarcity of suitable buyers.


    The tribe had already paid a hefty price to secure entry into Fredem Underground City and establish their own trading area.


    If they were not urgently seeking a reliable trading partner to recoup their initial investment, there would be no need for Luna and her fellow centaurs to give such a huge discount out of desperation.


    Despite the apparent bustling activity in their trading area, the reality was that they might not be turning a profit—at best, they were just managing to break even.


    What they needed most was to establish a reputation and boost sales.


    The divine towers and orders of the knights in the Magus World would be ideal customers.


    However, most already had established supply channels for enved creatures or their own enved nes.


    Furthermore, Luna’s tribe was not super powerful. It was arge tribe led by two demigod-level centaurs and could provide only two to three hundred thousand qualified ves at most in the short term.


    Generally, no divine towers would show interest to them.


    Up to now, the transactions Luna and her grouppleted were primarily with average-sized knightly houses and prestigious magic families."


    Sein had only asked that question casually because the ves offered by Luna and the other centaurs were the cheapest he had encountered since leaving the Divine Tower of Verdant Spring.


    Since the conclusion of thest Viridian Venom me World War, Sein suspected that an internar war exclusive to the Divine Tower of Verdant Spring might be on the horizon.


    Lorianne needed the substantial profits from the war to settle her magicoin loan and further develop the Divine Tower of Verdant Spring.


    As Lorianne’s apprentice who had lived together with her for decades, Sein could discern her intentions from subtle cues.


    The appealing prices set by the centaur tribe were likely to interest Lorianne, given that wars demanded arge supply of cannon fodder.


    With the Divine Tower of Verdant Spring having a limited number of registered mages, there was a pressing need for more enved creatures and foreign legions toplete strategic objectives.


    Before Sein could discuss this with Luna, Ghur, standing beside him, suddenly asked, “Oh? Are you nning to purchase arge number of enved creatures, Sein? Is this for the Divine Tower of Verdant Spring you’re affiliated with?”


    “You should’ve told me that!” Ghur eximed, patting Sein’s shoulder.


    ***


    Ghur knew that Sein came from the Divine Tower of Verdant Spring, but he was unaware that Sein’s mentor was the tower master herself.


    Sein did not discuss much about the enved creature trade with Ghur and Luna, mainly because hecked the authority to represent the Divine Tower of Verdant Spring in such negotiations.


    Ultimately, Sein only shared the location and coordinates of the Divine Tower of Verdant Spring with Luna and House Jobbs.


    Upon discovering that the Divine Tower of Verdant Spring was a divine tower established just over two hundred years ago, House Jobbs expressed considerable excitement.


    Investing in such a new divine tower promised substantial returns.


    Luna then mentioned that she would explore the possibility of approaching the Divine Tower of Verdant Spring for potential coboration.


    After all, establishing a stable partnership with a divine tower on the Magus World side could greatly benefit her tribe.


    Sein never made anymitments with either of them. He merely revealed his status as the tower master’s apprentice and encouraged House Jobbs and the centaur tribe to initiate contact with the Divine Tower of Verdant Spring.


    If the negotiations went smoothly, everyone would benefit. Even if they did not, Sein had nothing to lose.


    In any case, keeping the interests of the Divine Tower of Verdant Spring in mind during his travels would certainly please Master Lorianne.


    After discussing potential coboration with Ghur and the others, Sein continued his exploration of Fredem Underground City.


    This vast underground city spanned nearly eleven floors, with rumors suggesting that construction on the twelfth and thirteenth floors was underway, soon to be opened to the public.


    Here, Sein encountered an array of exotic enved creatures—finger-sized, beautiful humanoid butterflies; docile beastman maid on all fours; and behemoth ves ranging from several meters to tens of meters in size...


    All sorts of enved creatures were avable.


    However, Sein noticed the absence of the elf ves he had once seen in the ck market, let alone the rare and elusive mermaids.


    Upon asking, Ghur exined, “The Elven World does not engage in the ve trade, and the Magus Alliance respects their stance and vigorously enforces the prohibition against trading elves. And as for mermaids, well, I myself have yet to discover what they taste like.”


    After a pause, Ghur leaned in closer and whispered, “However, if you’re interested, I know a ce—a hidden ve market on the East Coast. They have not only elf ves but also mermaids. Thest time I went there, I acquired a female giant.”


    Ghur raised an eyebrow suggestively as he said that.


    The giants he referred to were likely titans, who, like the elves, were officially protected from the ve trade under the Magus Alliance’s rules.


    As far as Sein understood, the appearance of the titans from the Titan World was... He could only conclude that Ghur was indeed adventurous.


    It seemed that where there was light, there was also shadow.


    The East Coast’s proximity to the Western Archipgo likely also made the underground ck market and illicit activities more rampant here than on the South Coast.


    In response to Ghur’s invitation, Sein ultimately shook his head and declined, “Forget it, I''m not interested.”
