Chapter 1652: The Store in the Primordial Dimension(3)

"Did you have a calculation error?"

Vaerith asked. He could only believe that to be the explanation for such a reversal in fortunes in just a day. From a huge shortfall of 3000 Primordial Crystals, they had reached no shortfall at all.

Myzara shook her head and then handed over the paper she was carrying to Vaerith.

With a confused expression, Vaerith took the paper, and then he was shocked when he saw the content on the paper.

It was a sales agreement that had been made just this morning for a large land parcel on the third street, but also a license to register the store as a commercial entity.

The land was sold for seventy thousand Primordial crystals, of which the entire seventy thousand belonged to the city. Not only that, an eternal commercial license had been purchased by the said owner for three hundred Primordial Jades.

The more Vaerith read, the more shocked he became. He didn’t seem to remember that much empty land on the third street, yet there was one, and it was even sold for a large sum, of which everything belonged to the city.

He looked at Myzara and didn’t hide his doubts at all. He was someone who remembered every nook and corner of the city, so where did that large land even come from?

If it popped out of thin air, why was it purchased for that kind of sum?

The annual tax Namaris needed to pay the Kingdom of Solmeryth was nine thousand Primordial Crystals, so that sum was more than seven years of taxes for an affluent city like Namaris.

"Lord, the land had actually appeared out of thin air, next to the commerce department’s building. Not only that, a large building that calls itself ’The First Store’ has appeared on the land."

Myzara herself was confused by the situation, as no one in the city household department remembered signing a document like that, and yet it was lying on top, and also seventy thousand Primordial Crystals and three hundred Primordial Jades had appeared in the treasury.

Vaerith could still accept the sale, as it was a world where the powerful did things the way they wanted. It might be weird and strange, but it happened.

What caused him even more shock was the second item on the agreement. The city’s laws had no such rule of eternal registration, as every commercial entity in the city needed to pay land tax every year based on the land they controlled.

But with this eternal registration, the store would no longer need to pay any land tax whatsoever. What was weirder was that even if the store paid the annual tax normally, it would take numerous years for the total tax to reach three hundred Primordial Jades. It was as if the stranger wanted to spend their money the way they wanted.

Vaerith decided to check the store right away when suddenly the paper in his hand changed and new content started to appear on it.

Vaerith let out a scream of shock when he read the third agreement, and the paper fell out of his hand.

Myzara immediately caught the paper and then had the same reaction as Vaerith.

"We are rich!"

She exclaimed, as that was the first thought that appeared, and she immediately said it out loud.

The third agreement was a deal between the city and the store. Usually, deals were made between city lords and commercial entities, so action could be taken in case of wrongdoing after a city lord was impeached or resigned.

But the paper clearly said that the deal was between the city and the store, so once it was made, it would be valid as long as the city existed. To be more precise, it didn’t matter whether it was named Namaris or some other race or kingdom controlled it, as the agreement just said ’the place’. But that wasn’t the case. It was an absolute agreement between the city and the store.

The reason Myzara had made such noise was that the third agreement stated that the store would be eternally tax-free for both the store and its customers. Any organization usually taxes both the seller and buyer to get the most out of a purchase, but according to the agreement, the city could no longer ask for even a hint of a fragment for any sale made in the said store.

To activate the agreement, the store paid a large sum of three million Primordial Jades to the city.

That was a sum that could buy the entire city several times over from the Kingdom of Solmeryth, and yet the strange, weird, and mysterious store owner was paying that kind of sum just to make the trade tax-free.

To earn that much tax from a transaction, the sale volume needed to be three billion Primordial Jades, as the city only taxed a total of 0.001% of taxes, including both the seller and buyer.

Even the total volume of sales made in Namaris since the city’s establishment was very far from that sum, so the two were very shocked. To the two, the owner seemed like someone who hated money and just wanted to spend.

As for creating city laws that never existed in the first place, they were fine with it.

Anyone who could spend three million Primordial Jades must be a being of a very high cultivation level. Even the King would have to give face to the stranger, let alone them.

Instead of feeling offended, he should welcome the store owner by kneeling, and if there was a chance, he should try to become an adopted son of the latter.

"Would you be willing to become my adopted mother?"

Vaerith looked at Myzara and asked with a solemn expression.

Her expression immediately turned weird, and then her face flushed as she understood what the city lord was trying to imply by that.
