Necromancer Of The Shadows

"What are you looking for?" Valery asked Evan when she saw he was looking at his phone with a pondering expression for more than one hour.

"Just looking for the details of ice heart flower and similar herbs," Evan said without averting his eyes from the phone screen.

After five more minutes, Evan finally put away his phone and sighed.

Although he found many details about the ice heart flower, he still wasn't able to confirm its price.

Because of its rarity, there was no clear information about its price.

In some articles, he saw people were saying since it's a B rank herb its price is around five hundred thousand credits. While in some articles people were saying since it is a very rare herb it can be sold for one million credits.

'What should I do?' Evan thought and rubbed his chin.

"How about I give your seven hundred thousand credits for that flower?" seeing confused expressions on Evan's face Valery said.

She was afraid that If he wasn't able to find a reasonable price he will directly demand one million credits from her.

"Seven hundred thousand credits" Evan muttered and find it was quite tempting.

But after a moment when he remembered about the issue of the dark guild, he shook his head and said, "I don't need credits for this flower"

"You don't need credits?" Valery asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Yes, just give me eight C rank cores and it will be your," Evan said because improving his strength was the top priority for him now.

He needs money so that he can buy more resources for himself. But buying cores that are above D rank is quite hard.

Very few people sell C rank and above cores, because people who can hunt C rank monsters most of the time use those cores for themselves.

Only a minority of people sell cores above C rank. And whenever these cores come for sale they will be sold out immediately.

If Evan asks for money he knew it will be difficult for him to buy cores from the market. Knowing Valery has a good background he was sure she can get C rank cores quite easily if she wants.

"Even if you want C rank cores you should know the price of C rank cores is around one hundred thousand credits, and not many people sell them. Since I told you I will give you seven hundred thousand credits shouldn't you ask for seven cores instead of eight" Valery said with a furrowed eyebrow.

"Considering the rarity of the ice heart flower, I am sure many people will buy it even if I sell it for one million credits. So I think eight C rank cores is a very fair price for it" Evan said shrugging his shoulders.

He was sure that if he put the flower on the internet and wait for some time he can sell it for a high price.

But he also knew it will be difficult for him to buy C rank cores with that money, and it is troublesome to sell things online.

Valery thought for a moment and then nodded her head, "alright I will give you eight C rank cores, but you will have to wait for a few days since I don't have any C rank cores currently".

"That's fine by me," Evan said and took out the black box to give Valery.

But he stopped midway when he thought about something and put it back into his shadow storage.

Valery who thought Evan took out the box to give her was taken aback when Evan put it away.

"Why did put it away after taking it out?"

"I just remembered you are being targeted by the dark guild, if I give you this flower and the next day you got kidnapped by them wouldn't it will be a huge loss for me? So I will give it to you after you have enough cores" Evan said in a serious voice.

Black lines appeared on Valery's forehead when she heard Evan, and for some reason, she wanted to throw him out of the car.

"Why do I feel like you want them to successfully kidnap me?" Valery asked while trying to not curse him.

"Of course, I don't want this."Evan immediately said In a serious voice," at least not before you buy this flower from me"

The speed at which Valery was driving suddenly increased. It was quite clear that she was venting out on the poor accelerator.

Seeing she was annoyed Evan did not say anything else, and sat there quietly.

But after thirty minutes of silence, Evan thought about something and asked,

"By the way, do you know what we will have to do in this year's practical exam?"

He thought maybe since she is a C+ rank hunter and president of the class she might know something.

But he was disappointed when Valery shook her head and said she also don't know what will happen in the practical exam this year.

Evan didn't talk after this and soon three hours passed by. They were finally about to reach the academy.

Evan was looking outside carefully so that he can avoid people when he will come out from the weird pink car.

Soon they were just one kilometer away from the academy and Evan was ready to activate the skill of his concealment ring.

"Alright let me know when you get the cores to buy the flower" just as the car stopped Evan said and opened the door.

Valery was taken aback and didn't understand why Evan was in such a hurry.

But she was even more shocked when she saw just as the door of the car opened Evan disappeared from his place.

Just as Evan disappeared the door of the car closed once again.

Valery just sat there and looked at the closed door with a dumbfounded look on her.

"Just what the hell is wrong with him" Valery muttered to herself not understanding why Evan ran away.
