Legacy: Lord Alba 157 Shadow Friend

In these three months many things had changed in the region.

But the most important thing was an event that happened two months ago when the Grey Clan broke off diplomatic relations with the Sea Palace and the James Clan through an official communiqué in which it harshly criticized the interference of those two powers in the marriage of two families among other things.

Not long after, the Iron Fortress and the Royal Academy did the same by harshly criticizing the Sea Palace and James Clan. For many people that meant only one thing: These people were looking to please the Alba family.

And they did it because a few days later the Alba family issued a statement saying that they would be happy to collaborate meaningfully with them commercially.

In other words, the Alba family was ready to compensate them.

Without waiting any longer. Two weeks later the supreme Elders arrived in Ciudad Real to discuss the cooperation that remained in the following.

The Alba family would give them a special purchase price:

1 gold coin in exchange for a High Grade Body Refining potion.

10 gold coins in exchange for a Body Refining Potion of higher Grade.

Until they liquidates the fifteen million that the Alba family will give him, After this the prices would double if the powers wanted to continue buying potions from the family.

The powers asked for 70% in potions of high superior and 30% High degree.

This was more than a million higher grade potions! and 4.5 million High Grade potions.

As for transportation they would be in charge of it. The family didn't want to be blamed if the supplies didn't arrive, so they were clear. After leaving Royal City it was not the Alba family's problem if they reached their destination.

The powers didn't know where they got the potions from but the Alba family told them they could pay off the debt according to their transportation capabilities. The family would give them 100,000 potions of a higher grade per month and 100,000 of a higher grade.

Only in this way the powers sighed and could forget the losses of before. Besides, there was another intention in doing this.

Let their own alchemists improve.

It was no secret that each power has its own alchemists but if you compare the number of Alchemists with the number of common disciples it was too overwhelming so these alchemists in order to meet the monthly supply will have to work hard and leave you little time to train your skills, let alone improve them.

Now with the full supply for a few years the alchemists would have a sigh with which they could stay in power to train their skills, Go to the northern states where Alchemy was most flouris.h.i.+ng or even recruit talents in Alchemy to train them patiently.

All this without worrying that the power lacks medicines. At the end of a few years the level of alchemy would rise or even have relations with alchemical powers of the northern states without interrupting their development.

These supplies would last 10 years at most and 15 if they are stretched but these powers intend to buy for 25 years the medicines of the Alba family.

Hoping that their own Alchemy will improve and the acc.u.mulation of spiritual herbs in their gardens.

Many of them were thinking about how to earn money for the purchase of medicines after the "Free" medicines ran out.

So they decided to boost their countries' economies by investing in roads and business education in the hope that new traders will be born in the region that will attract wealth.

In fact, the Royal Sail family and the other two powers made gigantic investments buying different properties and land for agrarian production, hiring peasants for the work.

They needed to generate enough cash flow to buy the necessary amount of medicine without depending on their alchemists for a while. At this point he really hated not being able to issue his own Gold. The only thing closer they could do was mine jewelry and minerals in exchange for continental currencies.

Gold mines were in piles on the continent but no one dared to issue a coin with that Gold. Because those who tried were exterminated by the central bank of the continent.

The only coin issuer on the continent. n.o.body knew why, but this bank was the ent.i.ty that regulated two things.

The number of coins issued per month and the number of spiritual stones mined per month.

If a power found a mine of spiritual stones no matter the degree they would have the mining rights to it but would have to report it to the central bank to know how many coins it could issue.

So the central bank would have to give a stable price for the exchange of gold for spiritual stones.

Many people hated that system but it was the system that the strong had decided to control the weak.

Soon the shadows came to Anna's office and they saw a person working but this was not a woman, but a relaxed middle-aged man reading a few doc.u.ments.

When he saw the shadows, the man looked up and said calmly, "Are the men of the Brook family?"

The shadows were surprised but the man left them no time to talk: "You are here because Ana killed that s.h.i.+tty old man with his son, didn't you? I have to admit that the Brook family has someone ready in their ranks, i.e. sacrifice a useless person for the sake of the family's interests, not bad at all."

Hearing this, the eyes of one of the shadows contracted. For he had not thought that his plans were seen in such a simple way.

So he involuntarily said, "Did you know?"

The man nodded and said, "If you think about it, it's not hard to find out."

Hearing this, the shadow could not comprehend it: "But then why did they fall into the trap?"

The man showed a smile and said: "Trap? That for me was not a trap but an opportunity".

The shadow became even more confused and couldn't understand him so the middle-aged man leaned back on the chair and said, "Do you want to see a trick that will leave you speechless?"

So the middle-aged man without waiting for the answer from the other side raised his hand making his hand s.h.i.+ne until after a short time a perfect white sphere was formed.

But when the shadows saw that white sphere they could not prevent their faces from turning pale wanting to run from this office but their legs did not respond and one of them said, 'If you can form a sphere of energy it can only mean one thing, you are an Elemental Realm expert!"

The middle-aged man smiled and made his energy sphere disappear and said, 'Right my shadow friend, oh I almost forgot I didn't introduce myself, I am Adam Alba the old King of the Alba Kingdom and Anna's father-in-law for now I am in charge of the security of your business, and you what are you called?"
