Ulm liked the afternoon sun the most. It was warm on his face and made his whole body feel warm. It reminded him of the days when he was lying on the haystack and lazing around when he was a boy.
He is sitting on the second floor of his cafe. The window seat has the best view and the sunniest place. This is his exclusive seat. He comes to drink a cup of coffee every afternoon, although it does not seem like something a mage would do.
, but he just happens to be such a maverick.
This is his cafe, and it is also the only one in Amang Tea Town. It is not that there are no competitors, but all the townspeople who dare to open a cafe will die from the bite of some poisonous insect within a month, and everyone will come and go.
After everyone understood the secret, they no longer dared to compete with Ulm.
In the past few days, there have been many customers with strange faces coming to Ulm's cafes. They are not tourists. Each of them came and left in a hurry.
Their consumption is generally 510,000 baht. 10,000 is the cost of coffee, and 500,000 is the recommended qualification for the psychic ceremony.
In just a few days, Ulm had recommended dozens of people and had tens of millions of baht in his account. This made him very dissatisfied with the ancient members of the Asian Mage Association.
Why is the Spiritual Ceremony only held once every seven years? It would be great if it was held every four years like the World Cup, or even better if it was held every year like New Year's Day!
However, Ulm also knows that things are rare and valuable. Precisely because it only happens once in seven years, everyone is willing to pay a huge price just to have a look at the spiritual ceremony.
Although half a million baht is a lot, as long as you can meet a powerful mage, buy a suitable magic weapon, and obtain some rare materials, it will be enough to make your money back.
Ulm doesn't care whether these people are mages or whether they pose any threat to the Necromancer Society.
Let the board of directors worry about that kind of thing. Anyway, they have the power and have enjoyed enough, so it’s time to put in some energy.
"I don't know how many guests there will be today?" Ulm thought lazily and took a sip of the fragrant cappuccino.
At this moment, a trainee mage under his command walked up to the second floor and came to Ulm. After bowing respectfully, he whispered: "Teacher, there are four guests coming outside. They want to buy a psychic ritual."
Qualifications for admission.”
"Oh? Four people!" Ulm was very happy.
Even if you give a 20% discount, this means more than one million baht in the account.
"However, they are all Chinese," the trainee mage said.
"Huh?" Ulm frowned slightly.
Recently there has been a rumor in the association that the Black Dragon King and a Chinese Qi Master took over and suffered a loss.
Ulm didn't believe it at first, because he had seen the Black Dragon King's strength. That kind of power was too terrifying, and it completely shattered Ulm's enterprising spirit.
Ulm felt that even if he was given another hundred years to live, he would not be able to achieve half the level of the Black Dragon King, so he gave up on training and degenerated into a guy who sells his quota.
However, the rumors became more and more true. Someone confirmed that the Black Dragon King's right-hand man took Suno to China and never came back.
Others say that the Black Dragon King was injured and was recuperating in seclusion.
Recently, the psychic ceremony was about to be held, and several competitors were frequently building momentum, but the Black Dragon King never showed up. This made people within the association secretly feel that the rumors might be true.
In any case, it is better to be cautious when it comes to matters related to the Chinese people.
"Are there any Qigong practitioners among them?" Ulm asked.
The trainee mage hesitated and said: "There are about three, and I can't be sure about the other one."
Ulm pondered for a moment, then showed a disdainful smile: "It doesn't matter, just bring them up."
It was Li Xuan and his party who arrived. Under the leadership of the trainee mage, the four of them climbed to the second floor of the cafe and met the rumored Archmage Ulm, a member of the Asian Mage Association.
The Asian Mage Association has designed a grade system, from entry-level trainee mage, to standard mage, to archmage and legendary mage, a total of four levels.
There are only four legendary mages in the association, and there are only more than a hundred archmages. Ulm can be ranked as one of the archmages, so he must be strong.
As soon as Shura and Xu Qing appeared in front of him, Ulm's expression became stern, his eyes fixed on them, and then lingered on Lisa. As for Li Xuan, he didn't even bother to take a second look.
"I didn't expect to see Qigong practitioners from China in a remote place in the South Pacific." Ulm said in a very skilled Chinese dialect.
Qigator?
Shura did not speak. Xu Qing said on behalf of Li Xuan: "Hello, Master Ulm. We are from China and want to get your recommendation. Let's go to the Spiritual Law Conference."
"Please sit down. Let's sit down and have a cup of coffee and talk slowly." Ulm said.
Everyone sat down and coffee was quickly served.
Ulm silently looked at Xu Qing and Shura, a little unsure of their strength.
From Ulm's perspective, Xu Qing's body seemed to have a blue flame, burning fiercely and fiercely.
As for Shura, Ulm couldn't see clearly. He was like standing in front of a deep pool. He could only see the calm water, but he couldn't tell how deep the pool was.
There was also Lisa. Ulm looked at her a few times, and there was something strange in his eyes, but he hid it well.
In Ulm's eyes, Li Xuan is just an ordinary person, so there is no need to look further.
After everyone drank coffee, Ulm said slowly: "I do have a quota to enter the Spiritualist Ceremony, but... I'm afraid I can't sell it to you."
Of course Ulm wanted to make money, but he also knew very well what money could be made and what money could not be made.
If it had been some time ago, he would have sold the quota to everyone without any problem and just collected the money.
However, the news that the Black Dragon King and the Chinese Qi Practitioner are on the pole is getting more and more intense. Selling the quota to the Chinese people at this time requires taking greater risks.
"We can pay a big price." Xu Qing said disapprovingly, "We heard that the price of each place is 500,000 baht. We are willing to pay 1 million baht."
Ulm smiled: "I understand that since you are here, you will definitely not care about the price. But this is not a matter of price. There are almost no Chinese in the Mage Association. Your presence there is too eye-catching."
"Two million." Xu Qing remained calm and even raised the price without any argument.
Ulm's heart skipped a beat as he realized that the net worth of these people in front of him was far beyond his imagination.
Two million baht per person, four people equals eight million, which is a huge sum of money even for a great mage like him!
This money is enough for him to double the size of the cafe!
It is said that capitalists dare to trample all human laws for 100% profit, and if they have 300% profit, they dare to commit any crime, even risk being hanged. The same is true for the Archmage.
However, what if more profits can be obtained?
There were not many opportunities to extort more money, let alone a few outsiders. Ulm didn't want to miss it.
After pretending to think for a while, Ulm finally smiled bitterly with Oscar-winning acting skills and shook his head heavily: "It's not that I don't want to help..."
He hoped that Xu Qing could raise the price again.
Three million? Four million or five million? Ulm is already looking forward to it.
