Chapter 1653: The Store in the Primordial Dimension(4)
?
The Myrathis were a mutant race that descended from the union of a humanoid being with an insect, so they had an insectoid-humanoid appearance, with their skin having a natural glow.
?
The glow varied in color based on the species, so all twelve major families of Namaris had a different glow while being from the same race. Their abilities didn’t differ by color, but it was just an appearance marker.
?
The glow can appear as emerald green, turquoise, jade, blue, violet, or occasionally golden.
?
Despite having an insectoid appearance, they did not have a complete external exoskeleton like insects. They had a thin, tough, and flexible outer shell over selected parts of their bodies. These hard shells provided full protection without restricting any movement.
?
Their eyes were large and multifaceted, an attribute they gained from their insect ancestor. They had two eyes, but their pupils contained multiple concentric patterns.
?
Like an insect, two delicate antennae emerged from the upper forehead. Most Myrathis had fine, silky hair with color variation. Common colors included black, dark green, silver, and blue. Some rare members of the race even had two coloured hairs, with some being just strands matching their skin color.
?
Their hands and feet were humanoid with five fingers and five toes, while they also had small, folded translucent wings along their backs. These wings were just for decoration, as they were too weak to carry their weight for a flight of even a short distance.
?
Beautiful Myrathi are considerably different from the average members of their race. Their attractiveness is not simply a matter of facial symmetry; several racial features develop into unusually refined forms.
?
Myrathis were usually considered a race with good appearance in the nearby areas, but as every race had beautiful and ugly members, the beautiful Myrathis were distinguished from others by their faces, as their faces were exceptionally symmetrical, and the outer shell around their chins formed delicate patterns like jewellery.
?
Myzara was one such member of the Myathi race. Her skin glow was purple with a golden tint, while the patterns around her chin were one of the most beautiful patterns to ever exist on the beautiful Myrathi faces, since people usually bought those patterns after the member carrying them died and used them as jewellery.
?
If there was someone who could seduce that mysterious store owner from the Myrathi race, Myzara had one of the highest chances.
?
Her antennae flailed as she became flustered after hearing Vaerith. At first, she thought he was joking, but she didn’t know whether to feel offended or glad after seeing Vaerith’s serious face.
?
"No need to take it seriously."
?
Vaerith suddenly smiled.
?
Now that the shortfall had been filled, he felt very light and was in a mood to joke.
?
Myzara could only glare at him in response to that.
?
His face then turned stern, since others would also notice the changes in the treasury. Since the city lord wasn’t a permanent position, even a city lord could only have a spare key to the treasury.
?
The treasury department carried the original key. And as expected, one person after another was rushing toward his office.
?
In the administrative chain, he was at the top post, and below him, there were three deputy lords, and below them were the ministers of their specific departments.
?
It seemed too much of a hassle to have that kind of administrative system for just a city, but since it was the Kingdom of Solmeryth’s orders, they had to follow that.
?
The position of the city lord could only be passed after the royal family agreed; as for other positions, they could be decided by him and other powers of the city.
?
Vaerith didn’t hide anything from the twelve family heads and the three deputy lords as he showed them the agreement.
?
At first, they were also very shocked by the eternal registration and eternal tax, but when they saw the compensation paid by the store, their excitement knew no bounds.
?
Even though the money belonged to the city, there was nothing wrong with having some portion of that since they contributed so much to the city.
?
Vaerith knew the thoughts going through these people’s minds, but he had no thoughts of letting anyone have even a single fragment of that sum, let alone some portion.
?
"Has there ever been any city lord in whose reign the city had so much wealth?"
?
Vaerith suddenly broke the excited atmosphere and asked in a gentle tone.
?
The twelve family heads and the three deputy lords frowned, since they understood what Vaerith wanted to imply. The three deputy lords in particular felt resentment since the next city lord could come from the three of them.
?
But Vaerith clearly was in no mood to let go of that chair.
?
’Hmph, after what all of you did to me throughout the entire day, do you really think I would let you gain any advantage?’
?
Vaerith sneered. He would use this opportunity not only to extend his tenure but also to extract some benefits from the Kingdom of Solmeryth.
?
"You have as much to do with this as I."
?
One of the family heads who disliked Vaerith sneered in response to Vaerith’s ambition.
?
"Oh dear, did I come at a wrong time?"
?
At that moment, suddenly a new voice rang out, forcing everyone except Vaerith to turn toward the entrance door.
?
There stood Zorveth, who had arrived after being requested to come by Vaerith. He thought that Vaerith still wanted to ask him to help him fill the shortfall, so he was about to refuse, but since he and Vaerith were good friends, he decided to refuse outright to his face.
?
It wasn’t that he didn’t want to help; he couldn’t. He couldn’t interfere with the taxation policy of the kingdom, nor could he bring out 3000 Primordial crystals to help Vaerith and Namaris.
?
He was just a son-in-law of the collateral descendant, not a direct descendant.
