"100,000 royal gold coins for just half broken dragon bone? Are you kidding me? This is overpriced. Lower your price. I will buy this half-broken Dragon bone from you right now and right here."
"This isn't some normal Dragon bone. This is the Bone of a Peak 4th-order Dragon. Even if his bone is half broken, this bone can still be used to make a 2-star or 3-star weapon. I am already making a loss by selling this bone for only 100,000 Royal gold coins."
Whenever cultivator reaches a new order, their flesh, their bones, their organs, In short, every single part of their bodies become stronger. The bone of a 4th-order cultivator is so tough that it can be used to make a 2-star or 3-star weapon or armor; depending on the rank of the blacksmith.
pαпdα-ňᴏνêι·сóМ The body parts of 1st-order Dragon are the cheapest. While the body parts of a 5th-order Dragon are super expensive. Even the skin of a Peak 5th-order Dragon is worth around 1,000,000 royal gold coins which are 10,000,0000 gold coins.
Many Barons and Viscount rank nobles can never make this much money in 100 years. That being said, slaying Dragons or lesser dragons are extremely tough. Unless it is a Baron or a Viscount of a very powerful Empire, most Barons and Viscounts do not possess the necessary military strength or resources to slay a Dragon or even a Wyvern.
"Stop pretending. I have been in this business for more than 5 years now. I get find a similar half-broken bone of a Peak 4th-order Dragon for only 50,000 royal gold coins. This broken part limits the usage of this bone. If I really want to make a weapon or armor out of it, then I would need to find at least a 3-star talented blacksmith." The old man took out a black leather pouch from his storage ring with the intention of giving the shopkeeper 50,000 royal gold coins.
"Sir, If I sell this bone only for 50,000 royal gold coins, then I would be making no profit at all. If you give me 70,000 royal gold coins, then this one is yours."
"No, 50,000."
"Then I am not selling it." The Shopkeeper shook his head. Fortunately, unlike other Dragon body parts, Dragon bones can be preserved for a long time. So even if he doesn't sell this dragon bone today, he won't need to worry about anything affecting the quality of this bone over time.
The old man gritted his teeth and decided to add another 5,000. "55,000"
"No, 65,000"
"I increase the price by 5,000. You lower the price by another 5,000. How about 60,000?"
"Deal"
Both men shook hands in agreement. Soon, the Shopkeeper wrote the old man's name on a piece of paper before taking the money.
All the records of transactions are recorded and then the profit is calculated at the end of the day.
"By the way, young man, I wanted to ask you something."
"Go on."
The old man looked to his right and left, after making sure that no one was around him, he leaned forward and spoke in a very low tone.
"I couldn't help but notice that the security around Maragus Brook city has been increased. Not only that, but compared to a few months before, the number of people coming to Maragus Brook city has also decreased. What exactly happened?" The old knew that the Dragon Slayer guild had messed up by offending the Istarin Empire. He didn't know the full story yet.
The Shopkeeper came alert hearing the old man's question. Ever since the Istarin Empire killed the members of the Dragon Slayer guild it has become taboo for anyone to talk about the Istarin Empire within the Fallen Dragon City. Three foreign merchants were arrested as they openly spoke about the issue. As for what happened to those men, no one really knows. After that event, no one dared to speak on the matter, especially if they were on the Fallen Dragon island.
The shopkeeper looked around. Seeing that no one other than his customer was looking at him, he sighed in relief.
"The Dragon Guild thinks that the Istarin Empire might attack them which is why they have increased their security around the entire island. Now merchants from the Istarin Empire are not even allowed to come here. The requirements for entering this island also have become very restrictive."
"I suggest you don't talk about this matter while you're on this island otherwise it could get you into trouble." The old man nodded his head.
"Thanks, lad. I will take my leave now. If one of us remains alive, then we will meet again." As the old man walked away, the Shopkeeper felt weird hearing the last part.
"What do you mean by we remain alive? I am still very young. While you look like you might end up dead even if you sneezed too loudly."
The old man soon disappeared into the crowd. No one paid any attention to the old man. The old man walked very slowly. He supported his body with a cane. Each time he took a step, his body would tremble. The old man had covered his entire body with a black cloak.
The city of Maragus Brook was built near the Maragus Brook river. The name of the city was given after Maragus Brook.
As the old man walked throughout Maragus Brook city, no one suspected him. He did his own thing. Occasionally he would stop and buy or sell things. A few hours later, the old man slowly walked out of the city.
Since Maragus Brook city was built at the center of the Fallen Dragon island, no walls were built around the city. The Dragon Slayer guild never saw the need of building a fortress around the city. Since the whole island was under their strict control. Instead, the whole city was surrounded by a deep wide trench around the whole city. The trench was filled with water and deadly aqua magic beasts.
Once the old man was out of the city, the old man suddenly moved into the forest surrounding the entire Maragus Brook city. Inside the forest, the old man removed the wig.
After removing his clothes, in place of the Old man, he was one of the generals of the Istarin Empire. Nathan was sent to this Fallen Dragon island to learn more about the Maragus Brook city and the Dragon Slayer guild. He was also sent here to find out something very important.
"His Majesty should be here soon." At the same time, 1500 meters above the island, Aditya was standing in the sky and looking down at the Fallen Dragon City. Aditya can sense the presence of some powerful beings on the island. But he wasn't scared. Rather he felt excited thinking of killing them in front of everyone.
Since the Dragon Slayer guild had sent Walker to take Aditya's life, it would be only fair if Aditya did the same and returned the favor. Today he wasn't just going to destroy them. He was going to take his sweet time in humiliating them.
Aditya waited another 10 minutes before deciding to take action. "Nathan should be out of the city by now."
Nathan is enough to wipe out 70% of the Dragon Slayer guild. But Aditya wanted to take this matter into his very own hands and show the world the consequences of messing with the Istarin Empire and also get avenge all the Dragons that the Dragon Slayer guild has killed so far.
Storm Summon!

In a big mansion located at the very center of Maragus Brook city, the council of elders that controlled the entire Dragon Slayer guild was currently having a meeting. It was their 6th meeting of this month. Usually, the council of elders would gather once in a month and have a meeting where they would discuss the future plans and actions of the guild.
But ever since the Istarin Empire publicly declared the Dragon Slayer guild as their enemy, the council of elders had to come together a total of 9 times in just 34 days. The reason for this was the Dragon Monarch. It was no secret that Aditya was the type of person who held grudges. His ruthless and cunning personality made him even more frightening.
"Let's start this meeting." The Dragon Slayer guild had 6 elders including the head of the council who was also known as the Supreme Elder. There used to be 7 elders including Walker. In the eyes of the public, it was kept hidden about Walker being a member of the elder council.
After Walker's death, the entire council was shaken. No one was, expecting Walker to get killed by one of Aditya's women. What made the elders tremble in fear is the fact that Aditya's woman was strong enough to kill Walker so easily, then how powerful Aditya actually was.
"First, let's talk about last month's profits. Elder Aydan, please give us the details." The Dragon Slayer guild was a rotten hell where everyone cared about Money over anything. All the elders, including the Supreme elder, gave the most important to their profits above all. Being the strongest Dragon slayer guild in the world, the amount of profit that the guild earned from selling the parts of the dragon bodies was in billions.
Elder Aydan was responsible for the finance of the Dragon Slayer guild. Elder Aydan stood up with a white piece of paper in his hand.
Aydan looked at the face of the Supreme elder who was sitting at the center. "Last month, our sells have slightly decreased. Especially the first week after that incident, the number of merchants that came here decreased a lot. After deducting all the expenses, this month our profit is 11 million royal gold coins."
Hearing this the look on all the elder's faces darkened. Before this month, the Dragon Slayer guild's average profit per month used to be around 35 million royal gold coins. Because of the Istarin empire, their business has taken a hit.
"Supreme elder, we must do something about the Istarin Empire. At this rate, the Empire will affect our business and decrease our profits." Right now the Dragon Slayer guild was stuck in a very difficult situation.
Their contractor, the party who wanted to see Aditya dead refused to help them out. When Supreme elder Quincy Harris personally tried to ask the other party to take action against the Empire, the other party immediately refused by saying that as long as Aditya was alive, they don't stand a chance of winning.
At the same time, the Dragon Slayer guild didn't have enough power to stop the Istarin Empire. Their source of income from the Istarin Empire and its allies has been cut down.
Sigh!
"It has been more than a month since that incident happened. I can't help but feel strange by the sudden disappearance of the Emperor from the eyes of the public. Although most of our spies were captured and executed publicly, the news that I received from our remaining spies says that not even the guards have seen the Emperor for over a month."
"Elder, are you saying that something happened to Aditya?" Other elders looked a little bit hopeful. As long as Aditya was dead, nothing would happen to their guild.
"I don't know. Maybe the Emperor is cultivating somewhere else. We can't make any assumptions." Just as Quincy Harris said these words, he and other elders heard a loud lightning-cracking sound.
As long as the elders heard this sound, all of their faces turned deadly pale. Nowadays it was no secret that the Istarin Empire had Crimson flame and Crimson lightning. Whenever crimson lightning clouds appeared, the enemies of the Istarin Empire always died.
"What is happening?" All the elders looked outside the window only to see the whole sky covered in dark clouds. Crimson lightning was flickering in the dark clouds.
"This..." A drop of sweat rolled down Quincy Harris's forehead as he stared at the sky. He knew it better than anyone else. The calamity was here. After disappearing for more than 34 days, he was here.
