BXBX NOVEL Chapter 43 New World Part 3
Arriving at Jivial City, Nova thanked the Royal Guards for letting him enter the city without going through the verification process that he couldn\'t normally pass...
"Thank you again for escorting me out of the forest. If fate allows it, I\'ll pay you back again in the future!" Nova was speaking casually with the rest of the group after they got more familiar with each other and even laughed and teased sometimes.
Still, before Nova could make another step, a voice stopped him from doing so.
"Do you want to join the Royal Guards?" Asked Destiny catching everyone off guard.
After thinking for a moment, Nova shook his head and declined her offer.
"Thank you, but I have other matters to attend to. In the future, though, who knows..." Nova let himself a way out in case he came out as suspicious. He couldn\'t really say that he was going to conquer all continents in less than six months...
Hearing this, not to mention Destiny, the others too were shocked that he refused to be a part of the Royal Guards, the most elite group to exist in the Human Continent.
Destiny shook her head and couldn\'t put her finger on what Nova wanted to do. He still gave her a strange feeling as if she did not want to separate from him.
"I respect your choice, and not many would be willing to waste their lives and become a Royal Guard.
As you said, if fate allows us to meet again." Said Destiny, not knowing how valid her words would be in the future.
After they separated, Nova was looking for a way to make money. He realized he didn\'t own the currency necessary even to pay for an inn to stay through the night.
After arriving at a market, he was surprised to see people selling everything one could think of.
From beast cores to technique manuals and even paper with mystical properties to even lamps and all sorts of unnecessary stuff.
Seeing a middle-aged man pulling out the corpse of a Stage 8 beast to sell, Nova\'s eyes lit up, and he got an idea of how to make money.
"Excuse me, sir do you want to buy beast corpses?" Asked Nova to the middle-aged man.
The man looked at Nova as if he was a fool.
"Can\'t you see that I\'m selling beast corpses? Why would I buy some more?" said the man, grumbling.
"What I wanted to say was that I\'d like to sell them at a lower price than the market. How much is that Stage 8\'s corpse?"
Hearing Nova say that he\'s willing to sell at a lower market price, the man wanted to see how he could fool this idiot and make more money out of him.
"I usually sell a Stage 8\'s beast corpse for 5000 gold coins, Stage 7 for 2500 gold coins, and Stage 9 for 10000 golds, and I don\'t deal with lower or higher stage beast corpses. I will give you only half the price to make a profit seeing you in a hurry."
Hearing this and thinking about the hundreds of Stages 7, 8 and 9\'s cores in his storage ring, Nova was prepared to accept the deal even though he knew he was being scammed.
At that moment, a sneer was heard behind Nova.
"Hah, what a shameless man. To actually try and fool someone who risked his life to fight the beasts surrounding the city and scamming him so hard.
Let me tell you, Stage 7 sells for 5000 gold coins, Stage 8\'s worth double, and the same with Stage 9\'s. If you want to sell an Evolver Stage beast corpse, you could go to the Jivial Trading House." The voice sounded so devastatingly beautiful that even Nova was mesmerized by it.
Turning around, he saw the hooded figure of a woman who looked to be as young as him.
He couldn\'t see her face, but he knew that she must be a beauty by only hearing her voice, definitely not because the hooded robe couldn\'t hide her ample hips and D-cup breasts...
Paying attention to her earlier words, Nova looked again at the man who started cursing the woman for ruining his business before asking the woman.
"Could you please show me the way to the Jivial Trading House?"
Thinking for a moment, the woman nodded and proceeded to show Nova the way.
"Come with me. It\'s actually pretty close to us."
After walking for a few minutes, Nova saw a big sign that read \'Jivial Trading House\'. He followed the woman inside before being stopped by the guards inside.
"Halt! Show us..." before the guards could finish their sentence, they were stunned to see the woman flashing a token.
The token depicted a two-headed lion with two swords crossed in the middle. The guards were all sweating right now and quickly got out of the way.
Nova was surprised by this and deduced that this woman was definitely not simple at all.
After entering the shop, the woman turned left and started talking with an attendant, who proceeded to get them to a private room. The attendant told them to wait for the appraiser to get there.
"Thank you, it wouldn\'t have been so easy for me to enter without your token." Nova thanked the woman.
She took out the hood that concealed her face and let her black hair flow behind her back, actually touching her butt slightly.
Nova was surprised by her beautiful face that seemed to come out of a paint. She had large black eyes that were perfectly round, with subtle makeup that only accentuated her features even more.
Nova was lost for a few seconds after making contact with her eyes, feeling mysteriously drawn to them.
What Nova didn\'t know was that the woman was also lost in his golden eyes with little starts swimming in them. She became conscious of her and Nova\'s appearance and blushing a little.
"Where are you staring so much?" She asked while blushing.
"At your face...Ahem!" Said Nova, somewhat absent-minded.
Hearing this, the woman blushed even more.
"You\'re a playboy!" She exclaimed, waking Nova from his stupor and making him feel a little ashamed of his lack of control.
"I\'m sorry, I was a little drowned in your eyes...by the way, my name is Nova. What\'s yours?" He tried to change the subject.
"Maria Jivial, nice to meet you, Nova." She said with a bit of blush remaining on her face.
When Nova heard that, he was surprised, "Jivial... is this city yours?"
Hearing this, Maria started laughing while holding her stomach, her breasts hopping up and down, creating an arousing scene for Nova.
"It\'s my father\'s city, not mine, you silly. I\'m his only daughter and this Trading House is a part of my family\'s business. I\'m supposed to inherit it after becoming more familiar with it."
She responded with a few tears still falling down her eyes from laughing so hard.
When Nova heard this, he understood the mistake he had made.
Before they could chat more, the door opened and an aged voice sounded.
"Little Maria? What are you doing here?" A somewhat older man entered the room. And from his tone, he seemed familiar with Maria.
"Uncle Teo! I saw this guy almost getting scammed and decided to help him a little. Can you please appraise his beast corpses?"
When the older man heard this, he looked at Nova again. "Show me what you got, young man."
"Umm, elder, I\'m afraid this room isn\'t big enough as I have hundreds of Stage 7, 8, and 9ths corpses. Also, a few Evolver Stage beast corpses..."
Said Nova before he observed the strange silence in the room. When he looked again, he saw Maria opening her mouth before closing it.
The older man was also shocked by the numbers Nova had just declared. Not saying he doesn\'t believe him. He proposed to go to an open space for Nova to show.
