Nobilis of War novel Chapter 1450

The two sets of cultivation method of the Deputy God Realm level were priceless to all region leaders.

More infuriating was the dozen level-eleven divine patterns Kermit had set as the price and was so desperate for. Even some deputy gods had not yet gathered a dozen level-eleven divine patterns, let alone these region leaders!

Ordinary people could not understand the value of these divine patterns; it was beyond their imagination.

Connor had been the leader of the Blood Cloud Region for many years and had only integrated nine level-eleven divine patterns, the other divine patterns he used being level-ten.

Yet somehow, Kermit still asked for the ridiculously high price of a dozen level-eleven divine patterns. How preposterous!

"Kermit!"

Hood grumbled seriously. Both Connor and Darren remained silent, their faces straight and blank.

"You've gone too far. Don't you think that price is a bit too high for hiring a master at the top level of the Superior God Realm? If not for the fact that no one else is able to set foot in the Chaotic Region, hiring a middle-level deputy god would have been enough!

Let me explain something to you then. One of these two masters has been an old friend of mine for many years. The other is the benefactor of the human senior leaders. Do not ask too much of them. I urge you to reconsider!"

The more Hood spoke the more his rage built up. He had asked Kermit to take on this task, taking for granted that he would offer a moderate price because the leader of the Blood Abyss Sect and Hood were disciples of the same master. But much to his surprise, Kermit had his own plans, plans to overcharge. It was quite embarrassing for him to have to deal with this.

"Master Hood, please listen. This is after all a life threatening task. Bid too low and these top level Superior God Realm masters will not be moved. I believe they would rather cultivate than take that offer. So you see, the price I ask for is in fact not high at all. The great masters will only accept such a price. Trust me," Kermit explained sincerely.

"Okay," Hood said flatly. "In that case, we can't afford it. Thank you for your time. That'll be all."

"Then I'll take my leave. See you again sometime." Kermit did not bother wasting any more time seeing as they were not willing to pay the large sum he was asking for.

"Take care," Hood said indifferently. He paused for a second and then murmured, "Oh just by the way, I was thinking that my senior brother must be quite rich now; the Blood Abyss Sect has sent out masters at the top level of the Superior God Realm at least seventy to eighty thousand times in the last million years. At that price, he must have saved seven to eight hundred thousand level-eleven divine patterns. I'm sure he'd be generous enough to give up a few thousand."

He spoke softly but it was enough to reach Kermit's ears.

Kermit stopped in his tracks and asked back, "What do you mean, Master Hood?"

"Forgive me. I didn't mean to offend you." Hood's face darkened, his menace clear on his face as he spoke. "You've been a guard for what, about one hundred thousand years? You've no doubt dealt with thousands of requests for tasks requiring masters at the top level of the Superior God Realm. I bet quite a few level-eleven divine patterns must have passed through your hands. Pity you had to hand it all over to your leader. You must not have made too much money yourself. I'll talk to my senior brother later and ask him to raise your salary."

Kermit's face twitched behind his mask before Hood had even finished speaking. His discomfort was growing.

He had by then realized that he was being blackmailed.

As it turned out, his usual price was not that high, usually four or five level-eleven divine patterns. However, with every hundred deals, he would keep one for himself. He had embezzled a lot with this scam over the years.

He set a sky-high price today in the hopes of a big take for himself. What he had not taken into consideration, was Hood, his leader's junior fellow apprentice. If he went to the leader and told him that Kermit had asked for twelve for such a task, the leader would naturally be suspicious that he had been taking divine patterns for himself. If the leader then sent someone to investigate, Kermit would be doomed.

"Please, Hood, hold on. I made such a thoughtless offer and I regretted it immediately. Please, don't bother speaking with the leader. I was just kidding actually. Let's talk about it,"

Kermit said suddenly and nervously after considering his situation for a while. He had decided it best to not take the risk and his attitude had taken a full 180 degree turn.

"Oh, to think I almost took it seriously," Hood said, his words thick with disdain. "We don't have any cultivation methods of the Deputy God Realm level. Tell us then, how many divine patterns do you want? What is the real price?"
