Tantric family to divine dynasty

Chapter 9 The First Pot of Gold
  John is the head of the William family, a wealthy local maritime merchant family in Nasir. The William family owns two sailboats and more than 200 sailors. They often set out from the port to do business along the east coast.

He has a very good relationship with several knight families, demihuman clan elders, and thieves groups around Nasir Town. He even has the opportunity to attend the banquet of Baron Hoven.

A few weeks ago, John suffered from a rare and strange disease after returning from overseas.

His originally normal skin began to peel off and became scarred. Black blood often flowed out of the scars, and his mental state became aging at an unimaginable speed.

John was frightened and desperate, and soon became almost crazy. He spent huge sums of money to hire many doctors to treat him, but they were unable to do anything.

As for the extremely rare healing spell casters, there are no such people around Nasir Town.

He could only ask his eldest son to go to the Church of Storms to find Bishop Matthew Storm for help. Unfortunately, Bishop Storm, who was in a high position, did not bother to come to Nasir, a small place, to treat an insignificant businessman.

The life of waiting for death was not easy, and John would wake up every night, crying bitterly, begging the Lord for mercy and salvation.

However, as each day passed, the prayers were of no avail, and John's body became weaker and weaker.

He is not willing!

After decades of hard work, he finally earned more wealth than ordinary people could spend in several lifetimes, and made the William family, which originally made a living by fishing, achieve something. Why did he die so casually?

O gods!
  You are simply too harsh, cruel and disgusting!
  John was lying on the bed speechless, but his eyes were full of malice, and he cursed the unfair gods deep in his heart.

No matter who it is, even the devil in hell or the evil god in the abyss, as long as he can be saved, John is willing to pay any price he can afford!

"Master John, someone who claims to be a healing spellcaster wants to see you."

The docile servant knelt outside, and the words in his mouth were like the sounds of God, which instantly rejuvenated John's eyes.

An extremely rare spellcaster with healing talent!
  He was trembling and excited, and said quickly: "Let the spell caster come in quickly."

The status of extraordinary beings is extremely high. They are not only an identity but also a real social class. Even if they are extraordinary people who have reached the first level of "original point", they are still existences that ordinary rich people cannot afford to mess with.

The heads of all noble families on the continent of Oden are extraordinary people, and if a noble family does not have enough extraordinary people to maintain it, it will fall apart.

The situation of war, the rise and fall of various countries, and the development and changes of the world have been determined by the powerful power of extraordinary beings from ancient times to the present.

There is an insurmountable gap between extraordinary beings and mortals!
  Erin walked into the rich man's yard nervously. In more than ten years, she had never seen the living conditions of rich and powerful people up close.

The garden was decorated with flower beds, fountains, sculptures and other landscapes, giving people a strong artistic and warm atmosphere. The servants around her looked at her with respect, and Irene almost couldn't breathe.

A few days ago, she was just an ordinary girl living outside the town, but now she has to pretend to be a condescending extraordinary being.

Erin wore a black veil and an expensive black dress.

Just renting this suit for one day cost almost all the money of three and a half members of the Fischer family. The waist of the suit was tightly cinched, and the neckline had soft pleats and was divided into many layers.

The girl carefully felt the touch all over her body and found that the clothes worn by nobles and rich people were actually not as comfortable as the clothes they usually wear.

Uncle Lucius saw that his niece Irene couldn't help being nervous, and knew that it was a normal thing, but it was still too much pressure for a minor to do all this.

He immediately said: "Don't be nervous, it's no big deal, Eileen, what we are facing is just a fat sheep who is extremely panicked and scared to death."

Erin always found it a bit strange to call people "fat sheep."

She nodded and said reluctantly: "What do I need to do?"

To be honest, after getting along with him for a few days, Irene deeply felt that her uncle Lucius was indeed a very powerful person.

He seems to have no regard for class at all, has no sense of awe, and has amazing execution ability.

Lucius narrowed his eyes lazily and said half seriously and half jokingly: "Actually, what you have to do is very simple, that is, don't speak!"

Extraordinary people, especially spellcasters with healing powers, have a distinguished status, and ordinary wealthy businessmen often cannot get help from people of this level.

Karl's will possessed the red mark on the back of Erin's hand, and he was also observing everything around him.

The rich man's residence in Nasir Town seems to have the first bucket of money that the Fisher family needs.

He could easily tell that the man was stung by some kind of poisonous monster overseas and was infected with magical poison.

The will conveyed by Carl's weak consumption of spirituality encouraged Erin to continue.

The girl was stunned for a moment, and then the hesitation deep in her heart dissipated and became more determined. The great Lord of the Lost protects me, and all difficulties will eventually be solved, she murmured to herself.

The wealthy businessman John finally saw the healing spell caster. He was lying on the bed unable to move, but he still glanced over.

The girl in a black dress and veil looked extremely mysterious, and the looming face under the veil was extremely beautiful, like an extremely noble treasure, which even made John feel ashamed and found it difficult to look directly at her.

"Your Majesty the Spellcaster, please save me..." John pleaded feebly.

"I am a member of the Fisher family and the uncle and spokesperson of the young lady. I hope you can give us the compensation we need."

"money is not a problem!"

John screamed immediately, like a hoarse ghost.

"In addition to money, we also need trading channels for extraordinary materials!"

Most of the extraordinary materials are in the hands of the nobles and the church. John was silent for a long time with his pupils narrowed, but he nodded and said:

"As long as it allows me to survive, I will agree to any conditions within my power."

Lucius was not surprised that the negotiation was established, because the man was basically desperate and could only accept their conditions.

Next came the main event, and he didn't know whether Irene could cure the man.

The Lost Lord is undoubtedly a great being, but how strong is the power He bestows?

Lucius didn't know, and even Aileen herself didn't know at all.

She just walked over slowly without saying a word. John's eyes were full of longing, expectation, and even a hint of awe.

He is actually in awe of me?
  For the first time in her life, Erin felt such strange emotions.

Even I would be... in awe of others?
  She understood that the source of that man's awe was not herself at all, but a powerful force, the fate manipulated by the great Lord of the Lost!
  "You're going to be fine."

Now that I have followed His will, you will be saved.

Erin slowly stretched out her hand, her pupils flashed with emerald green light of life, and a gentle spring-like breath instantly covered the almost rotten man's body.

In just ten minutes, the treatment was over.

The man's illness was fully alleviated, and Irene felt that she could actually make him recover easily, but Lucius had told her in advance that if the disease could be truly cured, it would only require half of the treatment.

The young Erin didn't understand why, but she still stopped according to her uncle's wishes.

"Hahahaha! I, I survived!"

John, who sat up again, was still very weak, but his eyes were shining happily.

Lucius smiled slightly and said politely: "We won't stay today. Your illness needs to be treated several more times. As long as you pay the reward first, we will come back next time until it is cured."

When Irene and Lucius were sent out by servants from the rich man's yard, their expressions became a little confused.

On the way home from town, Erin asked her uncle in disbelief.

"Is that man crazy? He gave us five gold coins without hesitation. Those are gold coins, equivalent to one hundred silver coins, well, two thousand copper coins!"

Lucius was silent for a moment and said: "I can probably understand that guy's thoughts. I'm afraid he coincides with me, and he just wants to pursue long-term cooperation."

In fact, getting the money was the next best thing. The lazy mercenary squinted his eyes and looked at the box in his hand. After opening it, there was a fiery red object like coral inside, which was vaguely emitting constant heat.

Blazing Coral!

First-class extraordinary material!

Lucius's eyes were full of greed, as if he saw more extraordinary power in the near future.

After seeing it again, Erin took a deep breath and smiled in relief.

"Great! We successfully obtained a sacrifice that can be dedicated to the great Lord of the Lost!"
