Chapter 587 Preparing The Promised Blueprints And Formulas
The first thing Lara asked for was to see the crystals he\'d pay to get this membership. And when she received the rings, inspected their contents, she couldn\'t help but feel surprised by this.
Till the moment she inspected the rings, she was thinking he was making up all of this.
"I\'m not that poor," William calmly said, "where is my membership?"
"Here," she gave him a big red crystal, one that looked like a gem or something.
eαglesnovel`c,om "This is…" William was puzzled by this crystal. It was enough to be the size of a human\'s head. And when he held it, he felt how heavy it was. Not only that, he also felt vibrations that came from something deep within this crystal.
"This is the source crystal," Lara pointed at the crystal, "using this, you can charge any normal spirit crystal and let it hold its aura. Like this, anyone holding this crystal will be able to pass through the portal area without paying anything. However… I have to tell you this, my workers will take these crystals away so…"
"I get it," William took out one spirit crystal and tested what she said. As she said, the crystal turned red after touching the source crystal. The entire process didn\'t take one second, and that made him more reassured to prepare the needed crystals for his team before they\'d arrive. "Like this, anyone has to get two crystals for a trip, right?"
"That\'s the theory," she nodded, "now you are the sixth power in our entire history to have this privilege. Tell me, what do you want to do with this? What do you have in mind?"
"You\'ll see," William evilly grinned, "I promise that you\'ll be surprised."
William didn\'t delay in his actions. After he saw Lara away, without giving her any satisfying answer, he welcomed his vices after an hour and half.
They were all excited by this plan. When William spoke with them first, they didn\'t totally get everything about what he wanted to do. But when they discussed things among themselves, they got to see the limitless potential of this plan.
After William revised what they were going to do, he sent them out after charging up tons of crystals using the source crystal.
Charging up many crystals at once wasn\'t an issue. Just burying the source crystal with lots of normal crystals, letting them touch it for one second was enough to charge hundreds of them in one go.
William knew how extremely valuable this source crystal was. So he didn\'t intend to leave it behind, didn\'t intend to entrust it with any of his vices but himself.
As for the millions of crystals he made and distributed among his vices, they were for the ones they\'d invite to join the guild. Once anyone signed the standard guild contract, he\'d instantly enjoy such privilege right on the spot.
William\'s orders weren\'t to just send his vices, but the entire team out. Every single one picked a portal and went to a place there. Their task was to spread the word over these regions, stay there for a week, before finally returning with everyone who accepted to join.
He also stressed to let them spread the word. Once per month, he\'d send out his envoys to these places to recruit. So whoever didn\'t catch this chance now, could wait for the next visit of his envoys.
If anyone grew anxious and wanted to join them right away, they could simply buy a ticket and come here to join the guild at this city\'s branch.
William watched his team walk away, while he imagined the shocking scene that would happen in one week or so. William knew after this; his guild would have a strong place in this city.
"Time to maximise my profit," William knew his expenses wouldn\'t decrease or stop at all by the establishment of his guild branch. Once tons of masters joined, they\'d need lots of things and supplies.
It was still too early for his secondary profession department to start covering up the guild\'s needs. As he spent too much already, it was time for him to secure lots of crystals in the near future.
That was by providing Lara and her family with lots of formulas and blueprints, letting them start working on them. These were the promised products using the materials the family got from the Lost City. And it was supposed to get sold at high prices.
On the other hand, he also decided to take this one-week period and start building the thing he wanted before and couldn\'t. He got access to purchase any materials he needed from the Vancouf family, in any quantity he wanted.
"This one-week delay before delivering the materials is something annoying," William knew he got limited by this condition. But rules were meant to be broken, right?
The first thing William did was to sit inside his room and start writing and drawing lots of things. He had two options to get the materials he needed fast. And both ways needed to deliver these product designs to Lara first.
It took him three days to finish preparing everything. During which, he already sent a request to Lara with all the materials he needed. He didn\'t know their names, neither did she. So, he just had to draw these materials out, and ask for specific amounts per each material.
She promised him to try and prepare these materials much earlier than the one-week period. But he got the feeling she wouldn\'t make such a thing. He felt like she was losing control over the family.
Just from the reactions and attitude of the workers in the family who he occasionally met was enough to make him feel so. It was like they were cheering for the new king, and many got the impression that Richard wasn\'t going to leave this seat easily.
William avoided mentioning such a topic when he spoke with Lara. But he was sure she must have noticed something.
