"May I ask what was wrong with the slave this gentleman was offering. I've heard he uses the highest quality mind control spells, drugs and other devices to keep them obedient."

These words caused Azo to bite his lower lip, talking about people as items or toys made him feel sick to his stomach as this was the most offensive part of this area.

"It does not work for the creature he obtained. He's playing with matches around an entire warehouse full of lamp oil."

Heading up the last few rows before the two of them began to walk towards the stairs to the next floor, both men continuing the conversation as the Half-Elf continued.

"What sort of creature did he grab. I dragon I a.s.sume if its something that powerful?"

Shaking his head, Azo decided to end this topic of conversation. These creatures called V'Quota were much more dangerous. They showed up when you least expected and had the power to make even himself worry. It was suicide to harm them, and many old and rare doc.u.ments warned against it saying it was as offensive to attack a DemiG.o.d as it was to harm these creatures.

"Let's just head up to the Seer as I need to speak to them... though can you bring me to the mana stones first?"

This final detour before reaching the Seer as they arrived at a small corner of the entire market. Four stalls were selling the Mana stones as well as tomes and other items for mages including incantation and ritual items along with one cast scrolls.

Sitting behind one of the stalls selling mainly just Mana Stones was an Elven woman with long silky blonde hair that seemed to caress her sides in perfection. The soft golden eyes and lovely features that caused any man to swear away from an average woman. The only unfortunate feature being the scowl that seemed to be a standard feature for all elves.

"My, what has the cat dragged in today, Azo dear. Here to undercut me in stone prices again?"

The woman seemed to hiss out a sharp sentence as she still had a dislike for the man who appeared to pull out so many Mana Stones filled with death energy. She sadly could not keep up and had to concede many sales to him which had begun this rivalry.

"Sha'Li, you still look lovely. How is the firm rod lodged up your a.s.s, any luck in removing it?"

The glares between both surly could cause a heart attack with such venom between them both. The other merchants letting out a laugh as this was almost like a show to see who could create the most grief between each other.

"What do you want you stupid lizard. I do not have all day."

Her eyes were slowly moving over the man as she watched him pull something out of his pocket and into his hand, eventually pull it open to show a bright white crystal s.h.i.+ning with radiance.

"I guess you don't care for this then."

Sha'Li's eyes almost bulged from her face like a fish as she had never seen such a pure crystal. Mana usually became turned into a certain way once the energy pa.s.sed through it. This one seemed to be entirely pure in its contents.

"That is a large pure mana stone. How did you get this."

A few small laughs escaped Azo's lips as he just clutched the stone, other merchants staring at it with l.u.s.t and greed as it was evident not only Sha'Li was interested in such an item.

"Let's say my new client has a few. I'm looking to trade this for items. Mainly these items."

Pulling out a parchment, pa.s.sing it over to the woman as she s.n.a.t.c.hed it away from the man, eyes scanning the paper as she felt her breath catching in her lungs.

"This is enough food, water and supplies for ten's of thousands for a good few weeks. It's going to be expensive to get these. I know a few people, and we could supply this with permission. I don't know if the trade will be fully worth it."

Sha'Li had already calculated, even with all these supplies she still would earn more than two thousand gold from this trade. Her eyes were looking back at the man as she saw him pulling out a second and third item, opening his palm to show three white stones.

"Holy Creator G.o.d. How is this possible."

"It matters not Sha'Li. Give me a note of supply and bring them to the surface to the back area. I've put down a few red rocks and flags to indicate the area."

After pa.s.sing all the information over. Azo continued onto his final place as he entered into one of the side rooms right at the back of the black market.

Heading into the darkness as the corridor continued before a woman dressed fully in white opened the door at the end of the corridor. Bowing before him before let.i.tng the man into the area.

"Entering Azo for the Lady Seer."

The voice of the woman in white echoed before shutting the door behind him. Azo feeling his nerves getting the better of him as he moved into the ma.s.sive room. The darkness was causing him only to see a few feet around as the room was at least 100 meters wide and double in length.

The rumbling of the ground as the Seer approached.

"Well, Time's pa.s.sed since I last saw you."

Coming out of the Darkness, A humanoid female face with dark skin coming from the depths. Large and impressive as a sizeable lioness-like paw landing next to Azo as it was large enough to crush him with ease. Two large white wings fluttering behind the body.

The Spyhnx was looking down at him with a grin that suggested cunning or playfulness.

The sweat was coating Azo's back as he knew it was time for him to ask some difficult questions about not only the mission he had but also about one topic he knew which would cause trouble.

The Creator G.o.d Himself.
