“Master Wyatt if possible I would like to recommend Sarah as one of your followers.” Suggested Van as he narrated Sarah’s innocence and her life experience.
I was surprised that Van would suggest such a thing considering his emotional attachment with Sarah. So I decided to listen to Van’s thoughts behind his suggestion.
“Master Wyatt, I do not know much regarding blood purity and its application but there is a reason why demigod Redfall let Sarah, his last bastard, keep his family name out of all the bastards before her.
Over the years I had kept an eye out to see any sign of specialness in Sarah but except for her transexual interest, she is just a normal kid with normal talent as a card apprentice.
Another thing worth mentioning is her fated ingredient Charcoal Fire Beetle belonging to the same family of demigod’s rumoured fated ingredient Blood harvest Beetle.
But I believe the specialness of her blood can only be explored in the top 10 universities. I say so because of this medallion that the demigod himself had gifted to newborn Sarah. With this medallion, she can enter any one of the top 10 universities of her choice. I was planning on sending her there after the raid of the Blue Blossom lake field dungeon.
So, I think Sarah can contribute a lot to Master Wyatt as your follower.” Van went on explaining why he thought Sarah would make a good addition as my follower.
To sum it up ‘Blood Purity’ ‘Demigod Blood’ ‘Fated Ingredient Charcoal Fire Beetle’ ‘Medallion’ ‘Top 10 universities’ these were the key reasoning behind Van’s reason for me to bestow calamity daughter core to Sarah.
“Van, what do you think about the top 10 universities should I be attending one” I asked Van’s input on this matter since he seems to have been in contact with the top 10 universities.
“Master Wyatt top 10 universities is a good place to hone your skills as a card apprentice and creationist but if they can not see the specialness of lord then they are not worthy of your time.” Asking Van’s input in decisions that involve me was a mistake because he acts like an overly doting parent. ‘The grapes are sweet if you can have them, otherwise, the grapes are sour.’ A classic way a proud parent will fool themselves and reason their thinking that their child is the best.
Hearing Van’s biased opinion I decide to not involve him in any of my decision making in the future. Having heard his thoughts I asked him another pressing issue, ” Van, what are your current savings?”
“Master Wyatt except for a few Soul jades on me. Currently, I am under huge debt which I and the guild leaders of Sun Boar guild and Raven guild together took to finance our raid of Blue Blossom lake field dungeon.
But no worries my lord we three already had prepared contingency in case of the unknown.” Saying that Van began illustrating the contingency he spoke of.
In case of the failure of the mission, the three guild masters planned to declare bankruptcy and discharge their debts by liquidating their extra assets according to the mandated law. Basically except for the primary house and tools required by them to work and maintain a normal life, everything secondary would be sold off to pay the credit owned by the trio. This would work because all the shares of three guilds that they had in their hands had been transferred all to a trusted person, Sarah.
The creditors credited the three guild leaders huge personal loans because they thought the guild leaders owned their respective guilds. But by transferring the majority of shares belonging to them to Sarah the guild leaders were no longer owners but employees. Once a major share transfer is initiated the major shareholders of the guilds are to be informed. They escaped this law because they themselves were each other’s guilds major holders as for the rest of the shares it was scattered in small bits and pieces not enough to be considered as major shareholders. This way no one except for the three guild leaders knew about the share transfer.
This way they avoided liquidating the assets and dungeons owned by the three guilds when they declared bankruptcy in case they failed to raid the Blue blossom lake field dungeon. Their plan was neat and now that two of the guild leaders have died it was much easier to put the plan in motion. Except for losing some secondary assets, Van would not lose much as he did not own anything, everything was owned by Sarah.
‘Fuck!’ Hearing that Sarah will reap all the fruits I could not help but curse because I thought that I finally had a rich thigh to hang on to. Hiding my sadness I asked “what do you plan to do next?”
“First I will restructure my body and get rid of the cursed fire later with the help of the lord I will awaken Sarah. Then have her transfer all the shares of the three guilds to my lord.” Answered Van.
It seems there is another way to awaken the holder of bestowal ‘Fated Encounter’ that is to rub the blood of the fated person on their lips. Is just a precaution in case the demigod Redfall himself turned out to be the fated person or worse someone else in the demigod realm. Then the fated encounter will be more of a curse than happy ever after for the host of the ‘fated encounter’.
“No, don’t transfer the shares to me, let her keep the shares. You help her form a new guild merging the remains of the three guilds because the current share price of the three guilds is very low and individually they lack prospects. After the announcement of the massacre people are dumping the shares belonging to three guilds. If possible I recommend buying the remaining shares before you show up in public to declare bankruptcy and Sarah announces the formation of the new guild.” Yes, I have decided on recruiting Sarah as my subordinate. I did not want the shares because such a big move was bound to attract a lot of attention which I was planning on avoiding for now, after knowing the Circle’s interest in me and mama Wyatt’s origin card.
It seems my claims of having the same origin card as mama Wyatt has put me on the radar of the Circle.
Also, I can not let go of a cash cow like the three guilds because my new origin card requires lots and lots of soul jades to unlock higher transformations for me and my subordinates. Considering my enemy the Circle I can no longer continue with the slow-paced approach.
