"Five thousand."
Sonaron deliberated for a long time before giving a price that he thought was suitable.
He had no idea about the purchasing power of money in another continent, and the woman beside him had told him the value of this gold coin.
"I need five thousand of these gold coins." Sonaron stared at V when he made the request, but V was wearing a mask, so he couldn't tell the change in V's mood from his expression.
As for Josiah, who was voice-acting for V, he coughed lightly to prevent himself from laughing out loud.
The purchasing power of five thousand gold coins in Noland was quite terrifying. A normal family with so much savings wouldn't need to work for the rest of their lives.
For Josiah, it was only his daily pocket money, but Josiah rarely spent money on things in his daily life.
"That's too much … It's ten years of my salary!" Hiri's view was completely different from Josiah's.
Even after marriage, Hiri was a girl with a backbone. She earned all her daily money by working for Josiah.
It was worth mentioning that Hiri's salary hadn't increased for a long time, so the girl's savings were only about a few hundred gold coins.
"It's not much, but I still have to lower the price."
Josiah knew that it wasn't the time to show off his assets, even though money was just a number to Josiah.
After a brief thought, Josiah pressed the button to speak again.
"It seems too expensive for just a piece of information, Mr. Sonaron," V said with some difficulty.
"This information concerns the survival of the human world. I don't think it's expensive."
Sonaron wasn't in a hurry. He even poured himself a glass of wine and planned to talk slowly.
"Then how can you prove that your information is true and not a joke?" V asked again.
"I mentioned the core of this workshop before. Without my help, you won't be able to find it."
Sonaron drank the wine in his glass in one gulp, picked up the bottle again, and poured the wine into the glass until it overflowed.
The source of Grey Fog didn't seem to be using the wine to boost his courage. He was probably enjoying everything he could before running away.
"You've successfully aroused my interest, Mr. Sonaron … But before I see the so-called core, do I need a deposit?"
Josiah couldn't be bothered to haggle. His previous suggestion was just to let the other party know that he didn't have much money.
"Deposit? Of course … But I don't have much time to wait for you here. You have to gather it within a day after you go back. "
Sonaron wasn't optimistic about the city's situation.
"Mr. Sonaron, you see … I'm actually also a skilled Magician. Miss Aibo, please stand to the side. I need to cast a small spell."
V had no intention of leaving. He gestured for Miss Aibo to stand aside, and the girl obediently stood in the corner.
The silver-white inscription representing space surged on V's fingertips.
Josiah didn't need to go to Noland's treasury. He directly went to the Hearthstone Tavern and collected 5000 gold. After all, the Hearthstone card draw machine was there.
At the same time, he asked Madam Marina to find a cloth bag that could fit a person.
Half of the 5,000 gold coins were tied up in a cloth bag under the effect of the Inscription of Order.
Elder Quaeto drew a small teleportation formation on the floor of the room. After confirming the coordinates through the first teleportation, he accurately teleported the bag of gold coins to V this time.
The cloth bag filled with more than two thousand gold coins fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
V did not reach for the cloth bag because it was too heavy. V could not lift it with his illusory body.
"The deposit you asked for is here, Mr. Sonaron." V untied the rope on the cloth bag, revealing the shining gold coins inside.
Sonaron stood up from the sofa and walked towards V. V politely stepped back, giving Sonaron space to check.
The woman followed behind Sonaron. When she saw the huge pile of gold coins in the cloth bag, she could not hold it in.
Not many humans could remain calm in front of a mountain of money. In the past, one of Hiri's dreams was to roll around on a pile of money.
"It's … It's true." The woman's voice was trembling. She had probably never seen so much money in her life.
Sonaron's left arm suddenly twisted and turned into a tentacle again. It directly swallowed the bag of gold coins into its body.
Or rather … stored it in its body.
This was a really convenient ability.
"Follow me."
Sonaron was also a man who knew how to do business. Given the current situation, compared to continuing to be loyal to his elder sister, it was obviously more useful to maintain a good relationship with this rich masked stranger in the future.
V followed Sonaron out of the room. Ai Bo hesitated for a moment before following too. But the moment she stepped out of the door, Orange Cat pounced on her.
Without waiting for Ai Bo to react, the orange cat had already crawled back into her clothes.
"You …"
Ai Bo pulled up her clothes and looked at Orange Cat who was lying on her chest. Orange Cat made a shushing gesture with its paw.
"…" Ai Bo gritted her teeth and followed V and Sonaron without saying a word.
… …
Sonaron led V around the production rooms in the alchemy workshop and came to a room deep in the workshop that was sealed off by a large number of chains.
The structure here was a bit like a prison.
Gray fog spread wantonly on the ground. In the darkness, one could vaguely hear the low voice of some monster.
Inscriptions suddenly lit up on the ground. The moment Ai Bo saw these inscriptions, her body tensed up.
"Don't worry, my sister. These are just inscriptions for teleportation."
Sonaron activated the inscriptions. An unknown teleportation formation instantly lit up, and the surrounding scenery quickly changed.
When the light lit up again, what appeared in front of Josiah was … a door. A door made of black light.
"Mr. Sonaron, is this the teleportation gate of your world?" Josh asked Sonaron directly through V to find out what this thing was.
"Our world … the world of consciousness? It's too simple to use a door to define this thing. "
Sonaron walked a full circle around the ball of light that was emitting a pitch-black light.
"The meaning of this thing's existence is to destroy the barrier between the real world and the world of consciousness. Its creator's ultimate goal … I think it's to completely fuse the two worlds together."
"Is this another mission related to the survival of the world?"
Josiah looked at the black ball of light and scratched his head. The energy source of this thing was probably the negative emotions of the creatures on the continent of Aleslota.
"But why do I feel like I agree with the final boss' idea?" Josiah thought for a while and a terrifying thought popped into his head.
