But Sakura was disappointed.
Although his eyes became a little unnatural, Marisbury's expression, demeanor, and even breathing rhythm did not change at all.
"So, Master Sakura, you are here for the contract with Atlas Institute as well..."
"Yeah, you too, right?"
"Of course, after all, our Chaldea still needs some key equipment, and only the Atlas Institute has such technology..."
He simply ignored the word "they" from Marisbury's mouth.
Although Sakura was invited by Marisbury to purchase about one-tenth of Chaldea's share.
But Sakura, who was able to refer to the memory of how Chaldea was established through the memory of the alien soul, knew that the reason why Marisbilly did this was simply to borrow the influence of herself, a rising superstar in the magic world.
To speed up the agreements between him and various countries, and finally make Chaldea a joint organization under the United Nations and the Association.
As for our Chaldea mentioned by Marisbury...well, this answer will never appear.
In fact, Sakura's speculation based on the memory of the alien soul was not entirely correct.
Marisbury did have the idea of using Sakura's influence in the magic world to speed up his plan.
But more importantly, the Albion Tomb is now completely in Sakura's hands, and a large number of smuggling channels have been cut off because of Sakura's orders.
Marisbilly, who needs a large amount of materials from the Albion Tomb to build Chaldea's heavy equipment and techniques, hopes to win over Sakura and make her the next "Chaldean" observatory...
So, even though doing this will make you feel troubled.
But Marisbury went on.
"But if you need it, Lady Ying, I can withdraw from this auction..."
"Quit? There are only seven copies of Atlas's contract left in the world...why don't we just hold an auction and let the highest bidder win?"
Marisbury, who made a wish through the Holy Grail a few years ago and instantly became one of the richest people on the planet, suddenly showed a hint of hesitation when he heard Sakura's words.
Although Marisbury knew through some information that the Matou family seemed to be very wealthy.
But he did not think that the wealth of the Matou family could exceed his own worth of hundreds of billions obtained through the Holy Grail.
"Master, please allow me to make some comments..."
"Kirshtalia, just say what you want to say. Lady Sakura is not one of those 'nobles' who only care about superficial things."
After hearing the conversation between Marisbilly and Kirshtalia, the master and apprentice, Sakura, who was leaning against Irisviel, nodded.
"Please go ahead. I don't have those stupid rules here, right, Sister Ellie..."
“Yeah~!”
"Master, Your Excellency the Warlord, we in the Vordam clan have a way to obtain a contract with the Attalas Academy...but the price may be a bit unreasonable. If both Master and the Warlord need the Attalas Academy contract, we can definitely cooperate."
"Oh, you mean to split the auction fee and the purchase price of the Atalas Court contract equally?"
"That's right, Master."
When Marisbury said this, a hint of joy appeared in his eyes, and then he turned his head to look at Sakura.
However, Sakura did not respond to Marisbilly's gaze, but looked at the future 'captain' and asked him.
"Well, what is that unreasonable price?"
Hearing Sakura's question, his manners and expression were impeccable, neither humble nor arrogant.
But there was a flicker in his eyes.
The reason why he did not tell Marisbilly about the channel for purchasing the Attalas Court contract that he knew about was not because he had any other ideas.
He respected Marisbury so much that he was willing to give up the possibility of creating the "13th" discipline in order to stay in the Department of Astronomy and be with Marisbury. As long as Marisbury was still alive, he would not have any ideas of his own.
The reason for this is simply because the price of the contract is too unreasonable.
"Your Excellency Warmaster...they are asking for 300 billion!"
"300 billion? Are you sure I heard it right?"
Things in the world of magic are expensive. In the Second Generation Case Files, which happened a few years after Sakura's timeline, a jewel-grade Mystic Eye was auctioned for 3 million.
But asking for 300 billion for a contract is not only unreasonable, it's crazy.
The contracts of Atlas Academy were rare, but it was absolutely impossible for them to reach such a price.
Under normal circumstances, the price of a contract at an auction would not exceed 500 million yuan at most.
Although Sakura no longer regards money as money, but... Sakura was still surprised when she heard the number 300 billion.
"Yes, 300 billion. This is the price I inquired about through my family's connections three years ago after I heard that Master was looking for a contract..."
"....., it really is 300 billion. Do you know who the guy who sold the contract is?"
"It was a woman wearing a strange white robe, with white hair and a pair of rose-red eyes...According to the description of the family members who came back, he seemed to think that the woman might be a fairy..."
"Is it this kind of robe?"
The more Sakura listened to the description, the more familiar it seemed. She raised her hand and used magic to project Merlin's robe.
"I don't know exactly, but it looks very much like what the family members described in detail after they came back..."
"Okay, I know. It was her... She came here three years ago... It's not surprising if it's her. Let alone 300 billion, that woman dared to open 3000 billion..."
PS: The old director’s family contributed 70% of the funds for the establishment of Chaldea, and the remaining 30% was contributed by various countries…
I personally think that the old director would not be short of this 30% of funds. He gave up this 30% probably in order to attract other countries (the United Nations) to join.
402. Roughly determine the timeline, Merlin and Meili
Merlie, or to be more precise, the female Merlin.
If we talk about the male Merlin in Sakura's storyline, he is just an ordinary fun-loving guy who is a bit despicable.
That female Merlin is a person who is extremely despicable and a complete joker.
To some extent, even the most despicable fairies are not as good as this succubus.
Sakura, who had some basic understanding of this fun guy by looking through her memories, learned that Meili was the 'trading partner' of the Wodem family.
Sakura even suspected that Meili didn't have the contract with Atlas Institute at all.
She was probably trying to use this as an excuse to interfere in the establishment of Chaldea.
With her fun-loving mentality, she would most likely not give up Chaldea, an organization that looked very 'interesting'.
However, the world line where Sakura is located is obviously much more dangerous than the world line where Merry is located.
There was a high probability that she was stopped by some existence.
Otherwise, it wouldn't have appeared in the inner sea of the star 'recently'.
After analyzing Mary in his mind.
Sakura concluded that the Atlas Institute contract in Meili's hand was most likely unreliable.
He then rejected the proposal of Master Marisbury.
At the subsequent auction, after buying several of his favorite collectibles, he continued to pretend to compete with Marisbury. In the end, he used insufficient funds as an excuse and let Marisbury directly bid for the contract of Atlas Academy.
In fact, for Sakura, the contract of Atlas Institute is useless.
With her current status, if she really needs the help of Atlas Academy to create something, she can negotiate and exchange interests with Atlas Academy in the name of the Magician Association's Mage Warmaster in exchange for Atlas Academy's help.
The reason why Sakura came to this auction was because she happened to meet Maris Billy.
This was entirely the result of Sakura's deliberate act, although when Marisbilil asked Sakura to "invest" in Chaldea, Sakura visited the fledgling Chaldea located in a manor on the outskirts of London.
But who knows what Marisbury isn't hiding.
After all, it is difficult to know what is beneath the water, so in order to find out the specific progress of the formation of Chaldea, Sakura and Irisviel came to the auction where the Atlas Academy contract was said to have appeared.
'According to my memory, Chaldea's current progress is roughly... Mashu should be born, and judging from the data collected by Marisbili last time to provide the Fate System to the nobles... it is likely to be completed soon.
Well, that is to say, the current Chaldea is roughly equivalent to the normal Chaldea timeline of 2009-2010 in my memory... It will take about 6-7 years before Chaldea officially embarks on the path of human salvation.'
Just as Sakura returned to the observatory in the spirit tomb of Albion, she roughly drew a vague conclusion about Chaldea's progress through comparison based on what she had seen and heard today.
In the inner sea of stars.
The panhuman Smorgen, who had been blocking the door outside the tower not long ago, had been repelled by the joint efforts of the two Merlins.
He wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead.
He turned his head to look at Merlin who was almost exhausted.
Suddenly, Meili released an undisguised malice towards Merlin.
Feel the dangerous aura coming from Meili.
Merlin did nothing, but instead acted even weaker.
After seeing Merlin's performance, a hint of hesitation flashed in Meili's eyes, and the malice in her body disappeared in an instant.
"Ah, Onii-chan~ The Morgan in your world is too strong... Look at me sweating..."
Mellie had no idea how to describe the word "embarrassment". She wanted to do something to the weak Merlin in the previous second, but in the next second she started chatting with Merlin as if nothing had happened.
Looking at Mary who was talking in front of him, she suddenly opened her clothes and fanned herself with her hands.
Merlin rolled his eyes at Mary without any hesitation.
Then he stood up from the ground, leaning on his staff, and walked towards his room in the tower without looking back.
"Ah~ Such a beautiful scenery, Onii-chan, are you planning to leave now?"
Beautiful scenery...Merlin didn't see it.
Although Mary's appearance is indeed cute, I don't know if this little gesture can be considered a welfare benefit. Who is she testing?
What's more, who would be interested in me, especially the fun and despicable me?
Hearing the terrible words coming out of the female version of himself, Merlin couldn't help but stop and stared at Mary with helplessness and some indignation.
"Don't bother... If you want to take a shower, the bathroom is on the middle floor of the tower..."
"Hey, hey, hey, there's no need to rush to take a shower. Onii-chan, what are you going to do~!"
"I was packing my bags at the time, and while Morgan was away, I went to the surface to invite the witch over!"
Looking at Mary who was posing with an innocent girl's expression and started to act stupid as she chased after him.
Merlin probably guessed what this girl Meili was up to.
He immediately rolled his eyes at Mary again in anger.
"Take me with you, take me with you, Onii-chan, can you please take me with you~?"
"Are you sure? If I remember correctly, you were driven from the surface to Avalon..."
In an instant, Meili became like a pear blossom in the rain, and her rosy red eyes suddenly became watery.
“Wuwuwuwu~ Onii-chan, the world here is so unfriendly. I just sold some things on the surface, and then... well, I played a little prank, and I was chased all the way..."
"Don't even think about rejecting me. I won't help you deal with those guys who are chasing you..."
After saying that, Merlin was too lazy to continue communicating with the female version of himself.
Merlin was afraid that if he continued talking to Mary, he would strangle the female version of himself in front of him!
With a bang, the door of Merlin's room was closed by Merlin.
Only Mary, with an unhappy look on her face, was left standing alone in the corridor of the tower.
"Bah... Go ahead, go ahead, humph. If you don't take me with you, you will regret it. When you leave, I will make this tower my own~!"
He angrily uttered these harsh words towards the closed door.
Then the anger on Mary's face disappeared instantly, and the next second she became as normal as before, jumping and skipping like a little girl, happily running towards the bathroom that Merlin had just mentioned.
Although the soundproofing effect in the tower is MAX, as the owner of the tower, Merlin, who returned to his room, still clearly caught Meli's harsh words.
Hearing Mary's harsh words, Merlin rushed directly to the computer in his room without a care in the world.
Then Merlin's fingers were seen tapping on the keyboard for a while.
Merlin, who was beginning to become blurred, plunged directly into the computer screen...
