Amid stared wide eyed at the four phials, bringing the total amount I was offering up to five. Which in of itself, not even talking about the quality was an absurd amount.
As mentioned with how rare Mermaid's were, and drop items generally being a one in five chance, on the few floors mermaids did spawn, it was akin to a one in five thousand chance of finding one, killing it and getting the blood as a drop.
And as it would drop to the ground, contaminating most of it. only a small part would be salvageable. Not even close to a full phial of it.
For a full phial, it would could take anywhere between six and eleven or twelve Mermaid drops, meaning numerically wise with the spawn rate of mermaids and the drop rates, a standard full phial would take killing between thirty thousand and sixty thousand monsters.
An absolute absurd amount and why only the most top tier of familia tended to be given quests to farm for mermaids blood. Admittedly, some times the odd adventurer passing through those floors would come across one by luck, kill it and get the drop.
Luck was a big factor in it that could change the board, but at the same time, the logical numbers were insane even if they weren't fully and completely accurate.
A guy like Bell Cranel after all with his luck skill turned everything on its head there. if that guy was smart, he could leverage that skill to farm monsters like mermaids and their drops and make a killing.
But Bell Cranel was an idiot and Caelan Odhar was not.
Despite her shock, Amid quickly recovered and gave him a plain smile, "A deal, I see," she nodded, catching on to the subtext in his worlds, "Then would you be adverse to joining me in one of the business rooms?" she asked, handing me back the phial she had in her hand, that she had been examining.
"Sounds good." I replied with a grin. Being directed to business rooms to talk deals? Was a whole other level from just bartering for the price of an item.
"One moment then." Amid replied, before calling over one of her familia members, a girl called Martha to take over the front desk for her. Once she had, Amid stepped out from behind the sales desk and gestured for us to follow her.
As we did though, my eyes instinctively raked down towards her backside and my eyes widened, "God damn." I whispered under my breath. Amid was short and slender, and with a voluptuous chest, but her ass? Even in the unflattering dress uniform she wore, it put even her busty chest to shame.
She had a massive badonkadonk that stretched out the the back of her dress like the greatest shelf mankind had ever come together to create as their greatest masterpiece.
She was like an inverse Hestia in that regard, similar height even to go with it. Hestia had a great ass, big, plump, round, bouncy, perky and it stood out on her short frame, but her absolutely incredible tits drew way more attention than her epic ass.
Amid had great tits, big, plump, round, bouncy and perky. Yes, it did bare repeating. But her absolutely massive ass, stood out incredibly.
Like god damn, that ass!
"…Mr. Caelan." Lili's annoyed voice made me look to my side to see her giving me an annoyed, deadpan look.
She had heard me even though I had whispered it incredibly softly. That was probably because of the fluffy brow canine ears atop her head. The ears of a werewolf.
"Don't worry," I assured her, "You've got a great one too. Honestly once you start eating better you'll be insane."
"…Mr. Caelan has no delicacy whatsoever," Lili pouted, her cheeks flushing, "Completely unfair."
True that.
Before long we reached the business room and were directed inside. It was a pretty snazzy place actually. A simple rectangular room with white tiled flooring, white walls with mahogany wooden decoration reaching halfway up like a railing that covered each wall, a large green rug in the middle of the room with a small square table on it, with two large expensive looking couches facing each other on either side of the table.
"So…" Amid prodded once they sat down, me and Lili on one couch, her on the other facing him.
"Down to business then yeah?" I grinned, threading mu fingers together and leaning back in the couch, lifting one leg to balance my foot on the knee of the other, "Iet's start with this then, how much would you offer for one of these phials of mermaid blood?"
Amid stared at me for a moment, beautiful amethyst eyes looking straight into my own, searching, before sighing, "A tough question, I've never seen mermaid blood of that quality or that amount before at once," she admitted, "A typical full phial of mermaid blood, we'd generally purchase for between three and four million valis, maybe a bit more if our stocks run low. A single drop is enough to make a dozen elixirs. The sheer purity of the mermaids blood you have though, I'm not even sure how to quantify properly. The kind of elixir we could make with that blood, will be several times more potent than normal."
All very true. Yet, I'm not hearing a price. Either she wasn't sure what was a good offer, or she was waiting on me opening up my own to try and work out.
Okay then.
"And how much they're worth, reflects that," I replied with a raised eyebrow, "A higher quality blood, means a higher quality elixir, a higher quality elixir means it's better for healing. Which means ergo, the price for the elixirs themselves will be much higher."
"Yes." Amid responded simply.
Still no offer huh?
Well, it was good for her I'd already decided how I'd approach this in advance, "Ten million per phial." I stated simply.
