THE REINCARNATED WITH THE STRONGEST SYSTEM
Chapter 19: William's Compromise [Part 1]
"This is it, Young Master," Helen said as she served tea in front of William.
"Thank you, Aunt Helen" replied William. “I promised Theo that I would give him two pieces of apple pie. Please, give it to him when he comes later to return our sheep. ”
"Understood." Helen nodded and left the living room.
William picked up the teacup and took a sip for a while before glancing at their guest.
"Then let's start a business." William smiled. “So, what kind of compensation are you prepared to bribe our family to break this engagement? As I said before, we don't need gold. We are not poor.”
Agatha glanced at Eleanor before taking the initiative to start the discussion.
"Then what do you want?" ask Agatha.
"Treasure, artifacts," replied William. "As long as it has value then I'll take it."
Eleanor took a small box from her storage ring and showed it to William. In this world, rich and influential people were able to purchase magical artifacts capable of storing items in separate dimensions.
According to William's knowledge, the maximum capacity of the best storage ring on the continent was only two square meters. Although it made it easy to carry things, the space was quite limited.
Eleanor opened the box and showed it to William.
“This is called Growth Pills,” explains Eleanor. “This is a very expensive pill that is worth two thousand gold coins. If you agree to break this marriage agreement, I'll give this to you.”
"You want me to break the marriage covenant for a pill that's only worth two thousand gold coins?" William asked in a mocking tone. He then glanced at Rebecca and grinned. “In your Master's eyes, you are only worth two thousand gold coins.”
Rebecca frowned, but said nothing. Seeing her reaction, Eleanor's face sank. Although the young genius had accepted him as his Master, the two of them had yet to begin their apprenticeship.
She planned to take Rebecca to the Misty Sect to start her training, but put it off when she found out that she was engaged to a villager. As an elder of a prestigious sect, he would not allow his disciple to have any attachment to anyone.
Agatha and her husband shared their opinions. This was also why they took advantage of the old Duke's absence. The two wanted to break off the engagement made when Rebecca was just two years old.
"Of course this isn't the only thing I want to give you" Eleanor said with clenched teeth. "This is just one of the things you'll get if you agree to break a marriage agreement between two families."
"May I see that pill?" ask William.
"Good." Eleanor passed through the box so William could take a closer look.
The Misty Sect Elder was sure that the boy did not know of such a treasure. What he didn't know was that William had exceptional judgment skills.
-
Growth Pills
— When consumed, this pill will permanently increase all stats one by one.
-
William snorted and unceremoniously gestured for his Mama Ella to approach.
"Mama, this is good stuff." William grinned.
“Meee?”
“Try, Ma.”
William inserts the pill into Ella's mouth which surprises Agatha, Eleanor, and the four guards behind them.
The Angorian goat chewed on the pill and its eyes widened in surprise.
“Is it good?” ask William.
“Meeeeh.”
“Just so ~ so?”
“K-you! What have you done?!" Eleanor could not believe her eyes. 'That boy actually fed the Growth Pill to a goat ?! It is a waste of resources!'
The four guards glared at William. They felt their hearts ache because the Growth Pill was worth five thousand Credits Sect. They had to work for two years to earn enough points to redeem in the Misty Sect.
"What's wrong?" William asked back. “It's just a cheap Growth Pill. Don't worry, since I've already used it, you can subtract it from the list of compensation items you plan to give to me. ”
Eleanor's chest went up and down in anger. The Growth Pill was supposed to be her reward for Rebecca. In order to get the bastard boy to agree to cancel the marriage agreement, he decided to compromise and give it to her.
However, seeing him treat his treasure like it was just a piece of candy made him angry.
Seeing Eleanor's expression, Agatha decided to intervene and take the treasure from her own storage ring.
“This, this is a magic wand,” Agatha explained. “Although you don't have an ounce of magical power, you can pass it on to others more talented than you.”
William ignored the ridicule in Agatha's words and took the magic wand from her hand.
-
Learning Bronze Staff
— Staff suitable for apprentice magicians.
— Increase intelligence by 3
-
William frowned and returned the wand to Agatha, “Sorry, I have no interest in cheap magic wand. Do you have anything better? ”
“M-cheap? This staff is worth a thousand gold coins! ” Agatha almost hit the boy's head using a stick in her hand. He could not believe that an ordinary shepherd would dare to call it cheap!
“I'm not interested in low-quality goods.” William shrugged his shoulders. “Oh, they say you're a genius. Are you a witch?”
"Yes" replied Rebecca.
"Do you have a magic wand?"
"I'm ready."
"Show me that."
Rebecca pondered for a while before reluctantly summoning her magic wand. Unlike the Learning Bronze Staff, the staff in Rebecca's hands had a deep blue color. You could even call it a spear, but instead of a sharp blade, a huge purple crystal in the shape of a rose adorned the tip.
William's eyes sparkled because he knew that the wand was much better than the bronze one he had rated before.
“Can I touch it? Don't worry, I won't break it.” William patted his chest. "I just want to take a closer look."
“Alright, but you can only hold it for half a minute,” Rebecca said. "This staff is worth twenty thousand gold coins."
“Twenty thousand gold coins? That expensive?” William held a stick in his hand to judge.
However, before he could even use appraisal skill, a series of texts appeared in front of him.
