‘…’

Everyone looked at the old man from the weapons pavilion’s chamber; however, no one said anything because they didn’t know much about the dwarf.

Even the top families and a few guilds in the Silverstone town had limited knowledge regarding the dwarves.

“It takes at least 10 years for him to awaken his weapon refining talent; however, there is no guarantee that his talent will be top-notch.”

The weapons pavilion started laughing as he continued, “Moreover, you have to spend a lot of resources. Moreover, you need a real weaponsmith to guide him along the process which will take another one or two decades.”

“So, if you still want to bid for him, you can go ahead and bid for him.”

Once the old man finished his words, he sat down while looking at the old man from the alchemy guild with a mocking smile.

Who would bid once they knew that it costs a fortune to raise a weaponsmith?

Moreover, the price had already reached sky-high. So, no one bidded anymore.

“Everyone, before you blame the adventurer’s guild regarding this, we didn’t have the slightest clue regarding what the weapon pavilion’s head said.”

Soon, Manager Carl rushed to the stage as he informed everyone about it.

What Manager Carl said was true because except for the guild leader, no one has the complete information. However, he was not going to say anything about the guild leader.

‘Damn you, bastard. You intentionally waited until now before saying all these things.’

The alchemy guild’s leader cursed the weapons pavilion’s head under his breath and decided to think of these 10000 gold coins as a bad investment.

But still, his heart was aching badly whenever he looked at the young dwarf as though it was reminding him of his 10000 gold coins.

‘What should I do?’

In the seventh chamber, Lucas was racking his brains and finally decided, ‘Let it be. Even though I only have 3500 gold coins, I think I can request some time to gather the resources with the help of Manager Rean.’

‘No, if I keep on asking him every now and then, it would not be good in the long term.’

In the next second, Lucas rejected the idea of asking for help from Manager Rean and started thinking of an idea.

“The alchemy guild’s bid is 10000 gold coins. Is there no one who is going to bid higher?”

Soon, the beautiful female host started finalizing the deal, making Lucas anxious.

‘Wait a second.’

All of a sudden, Lucas thought of something and without wasting any time, he spoke from his closed chamber.

“Alchemy guild’s guild leader, I didn’t have sufficient funds to bid higher than you for the young dwarf. If you don’t mind, can you lend me 7000 gold coins, I will bid higher and buy the young dwarf?”

“What?”

“Why does he want to buy the young dwarf on credit?”

“He is definitely a fool.”

The top powers of the Silverstone town and all the onlookers were shocked when they heard Lucas’ words; however, soon, they started to think that Lucas was just a fool.

Unlike previous times, they were openly mocking Lucas because he was just a newly established family.

Moreover, judging from the voice, they could definitely say that it was a young master who got kicked out of the family from the other firmaments.

“How can I trust you when I can’t even see your face? I don’t know anything about your family either.”

The old man felt tempted to agree to Lucas’ request; however, when he thought about how the other party was not even opening his chamber, he shook his head and at the same time, he scoffed.

“Fine then. You can take the young dwarf for yourself.”

Initially, Lucas wanted to request the old man a few more times and even planned on how to make the alchemy guild trust him with 7000 gold coins. But, the old man was so arrogant for a man who is making a bad investment.

Even though it was a bad investment for others, it was an opportunity for Lucas; however, that doesn’t mean he would beg the arrogant old man.

At the same time, he didn’t want to sound desperate lest others felt something was not right and decided to bid for the dwarf.

“Since my family is quite new here, I thought helping you will do me a favour in the future. Looks like you have quite a lot of money, right?”

Earlier, when he said about buying the young dwarf, Lucas saw a spark in the old man’s eyes. So, he knew that the fish had already taken that bait. So, he added a few more words while sitting in his chamber.

“Who said he is a fool? He wanted to curry favour with the alchemy guild.”

“No wonder, he wanted to buy the young dwarf despite knowing it was a huge loss.”

‘But the alchemy guild was quite arrogant.’

All the onlookers started their mutterings and whenever they talked about the alchemy guild, they would whisper.

“The price of the young dwarf is 10000 gold coins….once…”

Soon, the host started the count, making the old man anxious and gritting his teeth.

Finally, the old man could not bear to take a loss of 10000 gold coins and shouted, “Fine, I will lend you 7000 gold coins; however, you need to pay it back within three days.”

“Three days? Fine. I hope in the future you can give me a discount when I buy the pills from you.”

Lucas wanted to toy with the old man for a while; however, he didn’t know completely about the old man on how he would react if he toy with him for some time.

Moreover, the host is going to finish her counting. So, Lucas didn’t waste any time.

“The three managers of the adventurer’s guild, you heard what he said, right?”

Lucas was not a fool to directly bid the price higher than the alchemy guild without the actual money in his hands. So, he wanted the managers of the adventurer’s guild to be the judges.

“Yes.”

Manager Carl was the first to nod his head as he had a good relationship with the alchemy guild and of course, he didn’t want the alchemy guild to suffer a loss of 10000 gold coins.

“Good.”

Lucas revealed a slight smile on his face as he stated his bid, “10100 gold coins.”

“Here comes the lucky family again. The family head’s bid is 10100 gold coins.”

“Once…twice and Thrice.”

“The young dwarf now belongs to the Lucky family.”

Soon, the beautiful female host who received eye contact with Manager Carl finished the deal in no time.
