For Jenn, the most convenient way was to follow Clarice's suggestion and buy fairy maids with "matching services" as servants of this manor.
But the negotiations had reached an impasse from the beginning. After all, if Jenn really wanted to buy these fairy maids, it meant that his secret was likely to be known by them. After all, one could only be a thief for a thousand days; how could one guard against a thief for a thousand days?
As a Demon, Jenn knew very well how much control the Demon Realm Chamber of Commerce had over their subordinates. Of course, these maids might be able to maintain complete professionalism when they were on his side and keep quiet about everything they saw.
But when the employment period ended, they would definitely report everything to their "superiors" when they returned to the Chamber of Commerce.
So in order to prevent this from happening, Jenn was determined to cut the Gordian knot and "buy out" the ownership of these fairies in one go.
But of course, this was firmly opposed by Clarice. It was not because she was unwilling to sell, but because the difference in price between the two sides was too huge. There was no agreement at all.
In fact, the moment Jenn saw Clarice's offer, he wanted to slap her and paste the offer on her face.
"30 million gold coins per person?
Why don't you go rob someone? "
"This is very fair, Your Royal Highness!
They are the maids that the Chamber of Commerce has painstakingly cultivated. They are the best in all aspects!
And you want to buy out their ownership, which means that we have to transfer all of their soul contract authority. As a high-level Demons, you should know how troublesome this is! "
Of course, Jenn knew that soul contracts were the most commonly used contract by Demons to conquer lower races. The other party signed a contract with their soul to obtain a certain degree of benefits, and the price was to become a servant of the Demons.
This kind of thing was common in other planes, and it was not unheard of in the main plane.
Just like the vampires. In the beginning, a group of humans signed a soul contract with the Blood Countess and sold the souls of their race to the Demons in exchange for hypocrisy, dark immortality, and eternal life.
As a matter of fact, it was only natural for the Blood Countesses to create minions to serve them. Since those foolish humans were willing to be their slaves for generations to come, the Blood Countesses were happy to be free.
Of course, the humans who had been turned into Blood Breeds would not understand the mystery behind it. They would only think that they had made a worthwhile transaction, completely unaware that the things they wanted were just randomly drawn out by the other party. Forget it, this was how business was. As long as you were happy, it was fine, wasn't it?
But the problem was that Jenn was not happy at all.
"You clearly said 3888 before. Clarice, my memory isn't that bad."
"That's the employment price."
The beautiful merchant girl didn't even hesitate and took back everything she had said before.
"If you simply want to hire these fairies, it won't be a problem for us. You can hire them for 100 years, 500 years, 1,000 years, 2,000 years, or even 10,000 to 20,000 years.
Our Chamber of Commerce guarantees the credibility of our products. Please rest assured. "
It would be a miracle if I could rest assured!
Jenn rolled his eyes helplessly and glared at Clarice, who was standing in front of him.
However, the young girl in front of him was still neither servile nor overbearing. It was no wonder. After all, she was one of the people in charge of the Chamber of Commerce and had dealt with all kinds of demon kings. How could she be lenient to him just because he was the son of a demon king?
"It's better to rely on myself than to rely on others. Forget it, I'll just rely on myself. I have a solution anyway."
Since Clarice wasn't going to give in, Jenn wasn't willing to waste his time on her. He had the Dungeon System, so he could summon a few more combat units. What was the big deal?
Jenn knew that many of the Dungeon's summoning units were specialized in logistics. Otherwise, it would be a waste of time if the Goblins were responsible for the maintenance and repair of the traps.
In a game, unlike in real life, the heroes didn't know what the Goblins were used for.
In a battle between gamers, the first priority was to eliminate the opposing Goblins. Under such circumstances, it wasn't strange for the Goblins to have other logistics units.
Of course, the Goblins had the exclusive ability to dig holes. The other units didn't have this ability.
"Your Highness, why are you being so insistent?
We have a good working relationship, don't we? "
Hearing this, Clarice's tone suddenly softened.
A merchant was afraid of comparing goods with other merchants. It would be even more difficult if the other party had the same "production capacity".
Of course, Clarice knew that Zayen had a strange method to summon all kinds of strange creatures.
She wasn't clear about the details and didn't know if the summoning had any restrictions.
Looking at Jenn, even if there were restrictions, it wouldn't be severe. Otherwise, he wouldn't have chosen to summon the creatures himself after the negotiation failed.
It seemed like the purchase from her was purely for convenience and not because of any unspeakable reasons.
The most important thing for merchants was to be observant and change their perspective. Once they realized that the other party didn't really want to talk about the business, the best way was to put down their pride and talk from another angle.
Anyway, making money was the top priority for merchants. Benefits were more important than anything else.
"I've shown enough sincerity, but you're still as black-hearted as ever."
Upon hearing Clarice's softening tone, Jenn changed the topic immediately.
Upon hearing Jenn's answer, Clarice let out a helpless sigh, frowned, and pondered for a moment. Then, she spoke.
"In that case, we can modify the terms of the deal.
Your Highness, we won't lower the price of the Fairy Maids anymore. Since your desire is so strong, we can recommend you other servants. What do you think of the Fairy Maids?
It's only 300,000 gold coins per person for a total of 300. We can transfer all of them to you.
That's the last offer. "
"Fairy Maids?"
Hearing this, Zayen was taken aback.
"You actually have Fairy Maids?"
It was no wonder that Jenn was so surprised. Fairies weren't ordinary fairies. They were born at the beginning of creation and could be said to be born with the Ancient Deities.
Of course, at that time, the identity of the Fairy Maids was also servants, except that they were servants in charge of serving the gods.
Based on this point alone, the status of the Fairy Maids was much higher than that of the current humans, fairies, and even the dragon descendants.
After the migration of the Kingdom of God at the Station of Creation, the Fairy Maids disappeared from the main plane, and there were many different opinions about their whereabouts.
However, many historical records tended to think that they should have left the main plane with the gods and headed to the Kingdom of God.
But they didn't expect the Fairy Maids to be dragged away by the Demons.
But apart from that, what puzzled Jenn the most was that as an ancient race, the Fairy Maids should be more valuable than the other races. Why were they not as valuable as the other Fairy Maids in Clarice?
He knew that the so-called maid guards in the Kurisgheen Trade Union were all Fairies.
They included Light Fairies, Dark Fairies, Dream Fairies, and Elemental Fairies. However, these Fairies were born after the Fairy Maids, so they were not as valuable as the Fairy Maids in terms of status and race.
Using the units of Zayen's Dungeon as a comparison, the Great Fairy was a Glittergold SR Flash Card, while the other fairies were at most Gold-level cards.
Their rarity was completely different, so how could they be compared?
But in Clarice's Trade Union, the Fairy Maids were not as valuable as their descendants?
What was going on?
Since he had doubts, Zayen naturally had to clarify them.
Clarice obviously understood that he would ask her this question, so she answered helplessly.
"Just as you said, Your Highness, the Fairy Maids are indeed an ancient race, but they have a fatal weakness …"
"Weakness?"
"Yes."
Upon hearing Jenn's question, Clarice nodded helplessly.
"Their strength is very weak. They can't reach the average standard required by the Trade Union, and it's very difficult to improve …"
"Their average strength is very weak?"
Zayen raised his eyebrows at this.
"What's the approximate standard?"
"Middle-level elite."
I see.
Hearing this, Zayen finally understood why Clarice sold this group of great fairies so cheaply. The strength of a mid-level elite was no different from a three-year-old kid who could not walk in the Demon Realm.
The Demon Realm Trade Union's maids were sold at a high price for a reason because each of the Fairy maids had undergone strict training. They not only had to be proficient in finance, housekeeping, construction, repair, and other aspects of work, but they also had to be strong.
In fact, a qualified maid of the Kurisgheen Trade Union had to at least be at the peak of the Master level, and the head maid had to be at the Legendary level.
This was not an exaggeration at all because these maids served the Demon King, who was a True God-level existence. Moreover, the Demon King was not as good-tempered as the Gods. Who knew when he would suddenly lose his temper in a bad mood and make a mess around? The maids were all personal attendants. It would be a waste if they accidentally died.
So, if they were not strong enough, they might be killed by the Demon King the moment he vented his anger. Such a deal could not be done.
Of course, there was another reason that Clarice did not mention. That was, the Fairy Maids were an ancient race, so they were born to have dominance over other Fairy Maids. Therefore, it was often the Fairy Maids that they cultivated who volunteered to serve the Fairy Maids. This gave the Trade Union a headache.
They signed this Fairy Maids because they thought the same as Jenn. After all, they were an ancient race, so they couldn't be that bad.
They did not expect things to turn out contrary to their wishes. Although these Fairy Maids performed as well as their descendants in other aspects, their strength … Sigh, they were so weak that they could not be mentioned.
In fact, there were also people in the Kurisgheen Trade Union who were worried that with the appeal of the Fairy Maids, they would one day abduct all the Fairy Maids that they had painstakingly cultivated and set up another mountain. Then, they would really have no place to cry.
Although the Fairy Maids were once servants of the Gods and had a weak nature and no desire for power, Demons were not like humans after all. It was a very extravagant thing to talk about trust with them …
It was also because of this that Clarice thought of selling these Fairy Maids to Jenn. This way, the Trade Union would be at peace. They would not have to worry about trouble, and they could even make a profit.
After all, the Demons Trade Union was not a charity. Even if they were an ancient race, if they could not earn benefits for them, they were no different from useless trash.
While Clarice was calculating, Zayen's mind was also spinning. Those were ancient races, after all. If he could get them over, it would be a good choice for him.
Moreover, Jenn could also start with the Fairy Maids and see if he could develop his succubus transformation method to other races.
If even the ancient races could be transformed by him, then he would have struck it big!
Finally, after some wrangling, the two sides agreed on a price of 100,000 gold coins per person. The Kurisgheen Trade Union would transfer all 300 Fairy Maids to Jenn through the Soul Contract. The trade would be completed within 15 days.
After signing the contract, Clarice turned around and left in satisfaction.
But Jenn could not just wash his hands of it. The strength of the Fairy Maids was a big problem. Although the mid-level Elites were not unsightly in the main plane, they were still a little lacking.
And if he wanted to guard his "manor," it was not enough to rely on these Fairy Maids.
It seemed that summoning was imperative.
