Perfect World [EN]: Chapter 427

“What options are you talking about?”

“I’m saying let’s finalize everything with this negotiation. In other words, let’s sign the contract right away.”

“Is that all?”

“Yes. That’s it.”

“But isn’t there still a week left in the transfer period? I don’t think we need to be so hasty.”

Far from it. Beomseok immediately shook his head. If they did that, it was hard to predict how high Tiela’s value would rise with Ancient Warriors in the competition. His honest expectation was that he wouldn’t be able to buy her if not today.

“I am in a hurry. There’s a final decision on recruiting other gladiators after this time. If I can’t buy Tiela right now, we have no deal.”

Allen looked troubled. The conditions were very satisfactory, but he hesitated to sign the contract right away. If he had more time, he could stimulate other gladiator teams aiming for Tiela through his offer, and secure even more funds.

“This is difficult. Are you really out of time?”

“Yes. They also have their circumstances, so we can’t help it.”

“Sigh~ I understand. Then I’ll contact the manager now and ask what he thinks.”

“Yes. Please do so.”

After asking for understanding and getting up from his seat, Allen carefully left. He exited the coffee shop and went to the emergency staircase, checking to see if anyone was around. No one should hear what he was about to say.

After confirming that the surroundings were quiet, he quietly took out his electronic notebook and contacted someone.

– Beep beep. The call cannot be connected at this time. The party is out of service range.

Allen quickly closed the notebook at the sound of the beautiful female voice and checked the screen. Seeing the antenna signal at full strength, he was sure that it wasn’t his problem, as the message indicated.

“Damn it. Why isn’t this bastard answering the phone!”

With a desperate expression, Allen cursed, thinking of Jade’s face. Not answering the phone at such an important moment was frustrating.

Usually, he would answer right away when contacted, but he didn’t know why he was like this today. With no other choice, he searched the contact list and found the Ancient Warriors office number.

If wireless didn’t work, he could use wired.

However, the result of calling was that all contacts were unavailable. Dumbfounded, he made a blank expression and shook his head.

‘What the hell are these guys doing right now? Can’t get through. Can’t get through. Anyway, Tiela doesn’t seem to have a connection with them.’

With no other choice, Allen contacted the manager. He had used sounding out the manager as an excuse to leave his seat, but he couldn’t just go back. And he doubted that he could hear good conditions even if he talked to Jade.

He had negotiated the price through frequent meetings with him, but there was no further progress from 4.2 billion Crang [Crang is the currency]. There was no guarantee that such a cheapskate would add more than 1 billion Crang just because a competitor appeared.

If they missed this opportunity because they were worried about Ancient Warriors, who were in the same faction, they would suffer huge losses.

He talked to the manager for about 10 minutes and soon finished all the decisions. Then he returned and sat in front of Beomseok, wearing a light smile on his face.

“Okay. The manager said he’s satisfied if it’s around 5.5 billion Crang.”

“Hahaha. That’s a wise decision.”

Beomseok, who clenched his two fists under the table, glanced at Esther. Now was the time for her to play an active role. With a few words, she reduced the 5.5 billion to 5.225 billion Crang, and then completed all transactions for Tiela.

Soon after, Tiela, with an excited face, rushed into the scene where they were chatting.

“Am I really going to God’s Knights!”

Allen nodded with a warm expression when he saw her. He knew what God’s Knights meant to her, an elf.

“Yes, that’s right. The contract is already done.”

Tiela hurried over, her green hair swaying, and checked the electronic contract he handed over. It contained the content that both teams had agreed to transfer her and an electronic signature. So that meant she was now completely a God’s Knights gladiator.

She looked at Beomseok with a tearful face.

“Then does that mean you’re my master, Beomseok?”

“Yes. Please take care of me in the future.”

Tiela hugged him tightly, so much so that the hand he offered for a handshake was embarrassed. It was because she couldn’t contain her emotions. The depressing feeling of having to leave her beloved hometown team disappeared in an instant.

“Thank you, Beomseok. I’ll do my best in the future!”

“Hehe. Okay.”

Beomseok, with a satisfied expression, opened Tiela’s information window. He had checked it before, but he wanted to look at it again because he thought she would actually become his lover.

————————————————

Trait: Incarnation of Gaia.

Special Notes: She was a key gladiator of the Forest Elves. Her sale was decided due to the recent financial problems of her former team and discord with the coach. Negotiations for her acquisition were held with three teams, but she was eventually sold to God’s Knights. She is the best archer and is also very skilled in swordsmanship. She has the qualities of a free-role, mid-tier, and vanguard. Her disadvantages are that she extremely dislikes water and has hardly been trained in most terrains, but she has an adaptability that no one can match in forest terrain.

————————————————

‘Keu. Her amazing stats are still the same.’

All of Tiela’s stats except sociability and skill were at their peak. Her potential of 994 had already been fully developed, and her fame was extremely high, so it seemed that she would play a big role in attracting the audience.

In addition, she was only 21 years old, so she would be active for a long time, and her trait was so artistic that she was expected to play a big role in the newly renovated Lima City Colosseum.

Her trait, ‘Incarnation of Gaia,’ increased agility, balance, and judgment by +10 in places not more than 20m away from the earth and had an option to increase all stats by +10 for 150 minutes when activated.

Beomseok dropped Tiela, who was hugging him, and said kindly.

“Okay. Then let’s go back quickly. You have something to do today.”

Tiela nodded her head vigorously, not knowing what it was. Now that she had a master, there was nothing she couldn’t do. Moreover, the other party was Beomseok, whom she respected the most.

“Yes. Just tell me what to do. I’ll do my best for you, Beomseok.”

“Hehe. Okay.”

Beomseok, with a satisfied smile, said goodbye to Allen and Offen and hurriedly left with Esther. It was to return to Lima City. The Lima City Colosseum had recently been renovated, so there was something to do with Tiela there.

‘Hehe. Everyone’s working hard.’

The Lima City Colosseum was heated up by the training of the God’s Knights gladiators. This is because they are undergoing adaptation training for the newly added forest terrain. The 20th league game will be held in a week, so they had to hurry and get used to the home terrain.

He took Tiela and approached Diana, who was watching the training situation in front of the dugout.

“Diana. You’re working hard.”

Diana, who inadvertently looked at him, widened her eyes. It was because she saw Tiela following him.

In fact, she didn’t know at all that Beomseok was aiming for Tiela. She didn’t think that her subordinate elf would betray her, but if she accidentally blurted it out or gave off a similar nuance, it would be very difficult, so Beomseok had been silent until now.

Since reporters often visited Diana, the team manager of God’s Knights, and asked questions, there was a small possibility that information would leak out.

She quickly approached Beomseok and poured out questions.

“M, Master. Is Tiela coming to our team?”

“She’s not coming, she’s already here. I’m on my way back after finishing the transfer contract and handing over the money at the same time.”

Diana, who was delighted, greeted Tiela with a bright smile. She was a master of forest terrain. She had a very high chance of playing a big role in the newly renovated Lima City Colosseum, and she could give a lot of teachings to team members who were vulnerable to forest terrain. If there was a gladiator that God’s Knights needed the most right now, it was her.

“Welcome, Tiela. Please take care of me in the future.”

“Yes. I look forward to working with you too, sister.”

Beomseok patted Tiela on the shoulder and said.

“Tiela. Then participate in training from now on.”

“N, Now?”

Tiela was making a face as if her heart was breaking. She wanted to go through the process of becoming a master quickly, but training? There was no greater ordeal for an elf.

Beomseok, who fully noticed this, quietly said in her ear.

“Don’t worry. I’ll give you the master ritual in the evening.”

“Yes.”

“Then prepare any training suit and equipment in the dugout and participate in the training.”

“Okay. Then.”

Although her expression did not improve, Tiela quickly entered the dugout. She couldn’t disobey the order of the person who would become her master, and she was interested in the newly renovated Lima City Colosseum terrain.

She was disappointed that she had no connection with the forest terrain, but when she came, it was not at all. There was a considerable area of forest in the Lima City Colosseum right now.

Tiela, who was wearing a training suit that fit her body, soon ran towards her teammates who were training in the forest area. Beomseok, who watched this, turned his gaze to Diana, who was commanding the training team members. She was currently informing the team members of Tiela’s appearance.

“Diana, how is it?”

“It’s a great relief. Now that Tiela has joined, we don’t have to rely only on you and Liza. To be honest, I was worried about what to do after the forest terrain was added this time.”

“Why? Don’t you trust me?”

Diana hurriedly shook her hands.

“It’s not that, but there’s no solution in games where you don’t play. And you don’t play every round. In fact, except for Liza, everyone is not very familiar with the wide forest terrain, so I was very worried.”

“Well, I guess so. I can’t play every game.”

“Yes. But now that Tiela has joined, it can be said that everything has been resolved. She is also a master of forest combat. However…….”

Beomseok looked at Diana, who was making a slightly worried expression.

“However, what?”

“I heard that Tiela has a disadvantage. I’m a little worried about that.”

“Hehe. Are you talking about being afraid of water and weak in other terrain battles?”

“Hmm. Yes. Being weak in other terrain battles can be easily fixed with training, but the water terrain is the problem. When I saw the game scene, she didn’t seem to be able to enter the water at all.”

He smiled slightly and tapped Diana on the shoulder.

“Don’t worry about that either. Everything can be fixed.”

“How?”

“You’ll know when you see it later. Just tell the management office to raise the water temperature in the central city. Then everything will be solved.”

“Really?”

“Yes.”

It was hard to believe that raising the water temperature in the central city would solve all the problems. But since it was Beomseok who was doing it, she decided to trust him. Diana contacted the management office, although she was suspicious.

At this time, several reporters popped out through the entrance. They were covering the training scene of God’s Knights, and they vaguely confirmed Tiela’s appearance. They couldn’t see it clearly because it was far away, but if it was true, it would be a jackpot.

“Oh, Beomseok! Is the elf who just participated in the training Tiela of the Forest Elves?”

Beomseok, surrounded by six or seven reporters, smiled. He was going to announce it to the media tomorrow, but the reporters smelled it surprisingly quickly. The sooner the better, so he answered without any concealment.

“Yes. It’s Tiela.”

A blonde reporter with an excited expression asked abruptly.

“Perhaps, perhaps she didn’t just come to have her body measured?”

“Hehe. No. It’s a complete transfer. I signed the contract today and paid the price.”

The reporters’ hands moved quickly at that. They couldn’t believe it, but they had grabbed a scoop of scoops. If the news that Tiela had been recruited by God’s Knights was reported, the locals would show deep interest and watch their articles.

A red-haired reporter hurriedly asked the next question.

“Then what about the recruitment of Rakami and Madel?”

It could be seen that it had gone down the drain. Now that he had recruited Tiela, he had no intention of recruiting any more gladiators. He had to save funds to recruit Prishika, who would be released at the World Walker Auction Market next summer.

But there was no reason to tell the truth. In order to raise the value of those children, God’s Knights also needed to jump into the recruitment battle.

“I’m still planning to push for their recruitment. I don’t know if it will work out.”

“Ah. I see. Then please explain the reason for recruiting Tiela this time. The fans will love it.”

“Yes.”

Beomseok began to answer. He went to apologize to the Ancient Warriors team and happened to meet a Forest Elves official. Her price seemed cheap, so he considered buying her. And the deals for Rakami and Madel had been sluggish, so he bought her first as insurance… He recited a well-crafted novel to the reporters, mixing lies and truths well.
