Saga Of The Overgod

"Give us 10,000 golds for compensation, help in restoring the territory, but there will be a lot of changes. The village must be built as a high-class clan territory..." Tromer is saying, but the Sofori clan's elders immediately disrupted him.

"Wait! Do you know what you're saying? 10,000 golds? That's equivalent to 3 years budgets of a high-class clan! And also restoring the Dowter clan's territory into a new and for a high-class clan!? That's expensive you know?"

In this world, the currency used in trading and in the market is bronze, silvers, and golds. 20 bronzes is equivalent to 1 silver and 50 silvers are equivalent to 1 gold coin. A single bronze coin can buy a bread, simple cloth, and many other basic needs. A single silver can buy good enough clothes, weapons, commodities, etc. A single gold coin can buy slightly expensive things like luxurious clothes, equipment and much more! Just imagine, a single gold coin is a luxury how much more for 10,000 gold coins for just a mere compensation?

Then Zevan also let out his concerns, "That's right, what you wish is a bit overboard. We just demolished the houses so why not rebuild it again into its original state?

Indeed, what Tromer wishes is overboard. They just demolished most of the houses and killed some clan members, but it's not too excessive in order for the Sofori clan to do the things he wants.

"Urgh! All of you are hard to deal with! If you don't want to end, this just tells me, and I will be the one to end this with my own methods."Tromer is now irritated. Being a cultivator and dealing with just mere mortals are hard. Unlike mortals, cultivators value every time they had at their hands even if they can live up to hundreds or thousands of years, but these mortals who only have below a hundred of years of longevity like to spend their time on useless things.

You cannot blame these mortals for this attitude of them towards time. This matter is important to them and for Tromer it is not. You cannot tell anyone that they are wrong because everybody has a different perception.

After hearing Tromer's words and seeing his irritated demeanor, the Sofori clan's elders and the City Lord instantly reveals an unsightly expression. Although their clan has a lot of funds still, 10,000 golds is a huge amount adding the restoration expenses, it's hard to accept it. If they accepted the deal, surely their treasury will be reduced to half of its original size.

But they knew that this mad one-armed man can make havoc in their clan, so in order to end this matter, the clan elders of the Sofori clan and Zevan made a decision...

"Okay, It's a deal. We will compensate and help in the restoration process just to end this."

But Tromer suddenly said, "Wait!"

"What? We accept your deal with us! Is there anything wrong?"

"Don't worry nothings wrong..."

"Then, why?"

"Our deal is just insufficient. You disrupted me earlier when I'm talking, so, I'm unable to say all of my conditions."Tromer said calmly.

"What?" The Sofori clan's elders said in unison including the City Lord. They didn't expect something like this, so now, they are very surprised as their jaws dropped.

"I know you heard it clearly, my conditions are not laid out all, it still lacked one thing, the plantation near your territory, I want that."

Tromer will not bother to go and wreck havoc in this place without a plan or a certain purpose, of course, he has an objective in coming here. Why would he spend his time in mortal affairs?

That plantation, that Tromer is saying, it is a real simple plantation where many kinds of herbs and plants are growing, but it might look simple but not for cultivators especially to those who have knowledge about alchemy. Obviously, this plantation has many medicinal plants growing, and Tromer wants it because it might help in his treatment regarding his curse.

That's one of the reasons why he spent time for this lowly mortal affairs.

Concurrently, Farjan has an inkling why his master does this. When he saw the plantation, he also wants it as it may help in his alchemy practice. Although it might seem that he is still interested in mortal affairs, his point of view of things is slowly changing into the perception of cultivators.

On the other hand, the Sofori clan elders are confused on what action will they do. They already accepted the tremendous deal of compensating gold and helping in rebuilding. They already give huge amount just for this, it's a huge setback for them and when their clan leader goes back, surely they will taste his wrath. But unfortunately for them, that's not all Tromer has one more request, the plantation.

The Sofori clan has a lot of properties including many plantations, although they can give this plantation, they already give a huge amount to the Dowter clan.

Zevan is analyzing deeply in his mind. He wants to end this matter quickly, si that there will be no more useless bloodsheds in their side. After his deep pondering, "Give them the plantation. The Sofori clan has many of those, we should end this."He said to the elders of Sofori clan.

The Sofori clan elders only grinded their teeth, although they will not take orders from only a member of theirs even if he's the City Lord, yet his decision is correct. That's the only way.

Right now, they just accepted that they lost. They shouldn't have mess with this evil monster. "Okay, the deal is finished, we will do as what we have said and you may take over that plantation." They said with gloomy faces and regret inside their hearts.

Tromer, smiled widely, his machinations is a success. Farjan and the Dowter clan elders are rejoiceful. "Let's go back home for now." The Dowter clan leader said."

"Alright, this matter has ended, we should get back to the office," Zevan said to his few Royal Knights that are left behind as they turned around heading back to where they came from.

Right now, the Sofori clan elders including Michael and some clan members are left behind. Standing still quietly as the winds drifted at the front of them whipping their clothes.

-------

An hour has passed.

Farjan, Tromer, the clan leader and elders of the Dowter clan, arrived at their territory. The clan members left behind welcomed them with worried faces, but after telling them the deal, they become happy. Now, the karma prevailed.

After some moments of chatterings, Tromer called his disciple and said, "Rest, for now, don't do anything heavy. Come back to me after ten days and I have a special mission for you."

Farjan's eyes immediately widened after hearing the word 'mission' not because of excitement but because of fear. The first mission he has ever done for Tromer is to build a house not connected to cultivation in any aspect. Now, he's suspecting as what mission would he do. "Will I build a house for you again? Or a mansion? Or an office or..." Farjan is still saying something but Tromer slap him.

"No! Just come back to me after ten days and I will really give you a special mission" with that, Tromer walked away heading to his house at Mt. Tri-mus.

Farjan just grinded his teeth. This is not an ordinary mission, its special after all. Would he build a huge building for Tromer? "Urgh, I'm not comfortable to this special mission," he said only inside his mind.
