Chapter 1175: Affairs
Specific problems required specific solutions.
If Sein had simply offered money to buy Maya, Sir Thomas probably would not have been tempted.
But the moment Sein pulled out that vial of demon blood essence, Thomas’ interest was piqued.
While it might not have been worth as much as a living demigod-level slave, it was special enough to make the paladin agree to the trade.
“Bro, where did you even get this Moltensteel Demon Lord’s blood essence? As far as I know, demons like that are already rare in the Magus Alliance, let alone an actual demon lord.”
Whatever impatience Thomas had shown before was gone. After the transaction, he shamelessly tried to sound friendly.
By that time, Luna had already rushed over to the hot spring and rescued her grandmother.
The mana chains created by the Magus Civilization for enslaving creatures were insanely powerful.
Even a demigod-level being like Maya could be restrained by them. That alone spoke volumes about how far the Magus Civilization had come in magic artifact crafting.
Then again, it was not that shocking. Sein had seen even Rank Four beings caged and sold before.
In response to Thomas’ question, Sein chuckled and said, “I once happened to befriend a group of demons. This blood essence came from a deal I made with them back then.”
Anyone who could make friends with demon lords was clearly not ordinary, but to actually get their blood essence was on another level altogether.
