Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong Chapter 2595: 1430: Administrator and Another Administrator
Previously on Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong...
The Administrator's words echoed through the King’s Hall, prompting every official present to nod in agreement, their faces lit with a mixture of joy and intense anticipation.
Indeed, with the vast resources held by the Human Sovereign, establishing a Shadow Market was entirely feasible—a market so enticing it would drive every third-class power, and even some second-tier forces, into a state of frenzy!
A single Tier 6 Divine Weapon, after all, is a legendary Secret Treasure that most third-class forces can only dream of possessing. Utilizing such a magnificent artifact as the centerpiece of the Shadow Market would undoubtedly cause everyone to rush toward them in a desperate scramble!
Just as the atmosphere turned jubilant, the Administrator’s tone shifted, offering a stern warning: “However, we must remember the proverb: ‘A man’s innocence is no protection if he carries a jade treasure.’ This situation requires delicate management. If we inadvertently provoke the greed of those formidable first-class or second-tier powers, it could lead us toward total catastrophe.”
“Your Excellency, the Administrator, is right. That is precisely the concern weighing on my mind,”
Leo Ray nodded slowly, his thoughts aligning perfectly with the Administrator’s cautionary words.
Currently, while I do maintain a significant stockpile of Tier 6 Divine Weapons, Tier 6 Magic Potions, and Tier 6 Magic Scrolls, these assets are primarily effective at shifting the tide in small-scale skirmishes between elites.
When faced with a massive battlefield containing hundreds of legions, their impact becomes limited.
One must consider that a single, disciplined Tier 3 Legion possesses the combined strength of ten Sixth-order One-star Experts, while a Tier 4 Legion is equivalent to a hundred such experts.
To put it another way, even if I unleashed one hundred Tier 6 Attack Scrolls at once, it might not suffice to wipe out a Tier 4 Legion shielded by an Absolute Defense Barrier.
Furthermore, our numbers in terms of Tier 3 and Tier 4 Legions are vastly inferior compared to the two rival alliances.
Each of those enemy coalitions is composed of over a dozen third-class forces. In contrast, our side, including the Human Clan, consists of only eight factions—many of which were crippled recently, with some having lost over half their military strength.
Given these circumstances, even with the support of the Ancient Dark Elves and their restricted range of movement, we remain clearly outmatched by the enemy's combined might.
This is exactly why I have refrained from distributing all the Tier 6 items. I have only provided our Tier 6 Experts with essential equipment and emergency trump cards, ordering them to use these tools with extreme caution. Otherwise, our top-tier combatants would surely be marked as the first targets for assassination.
“Nevertheless, the few Tier 6 items we have shown have likely already triggered a reaction from those responsible for the disappearance of Dana and the others. Under the strict monopoly of the first-class forces, even second-tier powers rarely see Tier 6 items, let alone third-class ones.”
“It is highly probable that the hostility from those two alliances stems from them sensing our sudden growth in power, which they perceive as a direct threat to their dominance.”
Processing these thoughts, Leo Ray exhaled deeply before asking, “Your Excellency, the Administrator, what is your specific advice on how we should proceed?”
“Your Majesty, there is no need to flood the market with Tier 6 items. We only need to provide enough to tempt them. Although these groups fall outside my usual territory, I am well-acquainted with their preferences,”
The Administrator replied promptly, his voice resonating through the hall.
“I see. I will entrust the arrangements to Your Excellency. My role will be to supply whatever items are required.”
Leo Ray gave a sharp snap of his fingers and added, “Speed is essential. The Shadow Market must launch immediately—ideally by tonight.”
“Rest assured, Your Majesty. While the Bazaar Brotherhood must normally approve the emergency opening of an advanced market, the inclusion of Tier 6 items will allow the Shadow Market to function as a highly profitable intermediary.”
The Administrator spoke with blunt honesty: “Consequently, for every Tier 6 item put up for trade, Your Majesty must provide ten top-grade Tier 5 items of the same category as a processing fee. I wanted to ensure Your Majesty was aware of this cost.”
Hearing these terms, several people in the hall frowned slightly.
Trading for Tier 6 Equipment is a monumental task. Even in the Outer Region, parting with ten Tier 5 pieces is a steep price, particularly since top-grade gear can only be forged by master craftsmen.
Of course, that difficulty existed before Leo Ray’s massive upgrades. Now, his followers were certainly not lacking in Tier 5 Equipment.
“That is perfectly fine. I would be willing to pay with Tier 6 items if necessary, let alone Tier 5.”
Leo Ray agreed without a moment's hesitation, stating, “Our priority is to identify the shadow players and rescue Dana and the rest. I care for nothing else, and I will pay ten times or a hundred times the price without regret.”
As Leo Ray’s declaration finished, a wave of renewed morale swept through the King’s Hall. Nal and the other dragon-blooded warriors were visibly moved, some appearing to be on the verge of tears.
To think the Human Sovereign would sacrifice such immense wealth for the sake of the Queen and the Prince—how could they not feel a profound sense of gratitude?
The other experts were equally stirred. They knew that if they were the ones in danger, the Human Sovereign would go to the same lengths for them. Serving such a selfless leader made them ready to face any hardship with everything they had.
“I truly grasp Your Majesty’s resolve now,”
The Administrator’s voice now carried a hint of genuine respect as he continued, “There remains only one last problem to solve.”
