William pondered for a long time, then he extended three fingers.
Haru's heart skipped a beat. Then, he frowned and said, "Three million Divine Crystals… although it seems a bit low, I can manage that."
Hearing Haru's words, William almost turned and left. He suspected that Haru was playing with him. How could a High God Tier Artifact be worth three million Divine Crystals? Did they really think he was this filthy rich?
However, in the end, William could not bear to part with the Stormcleaver. He smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty, even a Supreme God Tier Artifact cannot fetch the price of three million Divine Crystals."
Haru asked with a smile, "Then how much did you offer?"
He had indeed been playing around. He knew that no matter how rich William was, he wouldn't be able to purchase a Divine artifact with three million Divine Crystals.
At this moment, William said, "I meant thirty thousand."
Hearing the offer, Haru's smile froze. This time, he really frowned. After all, it was a high-level High God Tier Artifact. He suspected that William was scamming him by only offering thirty thousand Divine Crystals?
William explained, "Your Majesty, the era of truth is different from the Ancient Era. Divine Crystals have become extremely rare nowadays because the Divine Power released by the laws of the world is decreasing. It is becoming more and more difficult to collect Divine Crystals!"
William said, "In the Ancient Era, not to mention thirty thousand Divine Crystals, I believe that even three hundred thousand Divine Crystals would not be able to buy the Stormcleaver."
"It's too low." Haru gave a very straightforward answer, "Mr. William, a mere thirty thousand Divine Crystals is far from my current requirements. Furthermore, I suspect that you are deliberately lowering the price."
"How could that be?" William smiled bitterly and said, "The Goddess of Fate, Svetlana, is a friend of Your Majesty. I can deceive other gods, but I will not dare to deceive you."
Looking at the expressions on William's face, Haru seemed to believe that he was not lying, 'Could it be that the Divine Artifacts have really become so cheap in the Era of Truth?'
Of course, it wasn't that Divine Artifacts were becoming cheaper, but that the value of Divine Crystals was getting higher and higher. Thinking of this, Haru could not help but frown. He had thought that he would at least get a few hundred thousand Divine Crystals with the Stormcleaver.
Haru asked, "What if you pay with Magic Crystals?"
"Magic Crystals?" William was stunned. He didn't understand why Haru, who had already reached the peak of Intermediate God Tier, would want to trade the Stormcleaver with Magic Crystals. After all, Magic Crystals and Power Stones were mortal resources.
"There seems to be no way to calculate this." William said, "A High God Tier artifact is priceless in the mortal world."
Haru said, "Still, name a price."
William said hesitantly, "What about a billion Magic Crystals?"
According to GM's exchange rate of ten thousand Magic Crystals for one Divine Crystal, a billion Magic Crystals could be traded for 100,000 Divine Crystals.
Haru said, "Give me five billion Magic Crystals and this Stormcleaver is yours."
Hearing this, William immediately took a deep breath. To him, this meant that he was practically getting the Stormcleaver for free.
With his status in the Ice and Snow Kingdom, gathering five billion Magic Crystals wasn't a big deal. As for whether collecting so many Magic Crystals would cause their value to skyrocket in the Ice and Snow Kingdom, he would not care.
That was a matter of the mortal world and it had nothing to do with him. Moreover, the higher ups of the Ice and Snow Kingdom would regulate their economy. He did not need to worry about anything.
"Sure!" Therefore, William agreed without hesitation, "Your Majesty, please give me a day. After all, five billion Magic Crystals is a huge amount. I need a little time to gather them."
Haru nodded. Seeing this, William's figure flickered, transforming into a streak of light and disappearing into the horizon. One could tell that he was extremely anxious.
Haru looked at Celestia beside him and asked, "Do you think that I asked for too little?"
She answered respectfully, "You are merciful, my Lord!"
Haru's lips twitched. He did not want to be merciful. If he could reverse the flow of time, he would directly ask for ten billion Magic Crystals. That way, he would be able to get a million Divine Crystals.
