The Roliv looked at Ibro in amazement and wondered:
“Do you want ten percent of the scrolls we manufacture with Renalt resources? What will you do with them?”
“You misunderstood me, sir. I meant ten percent of all the scrolls that were made with resources that came from the world of Renalt and other worlds similar to it.
Because I am the owner of this idea and the founder of this project and if it isn’t for me then this whole project would never have been real. My percentage of this project is ten percent. That’s non- negotiable!”
Roliv did not answer him directly, but he looked long at Ibro as if he was rediscovering him again.
Ibro did not know whether he would agree to his request or not, but he was strongly prepared for the arguing and negotiation.
That seemed unnecessarily preparation of him as he was surprised by the Roliv, who told him:
“No problem, I will ask my assistants to prepare a special contract for this agreement to sign it now.”
Ibro went silent for a second, to understand that Roliv quickly accepted his request and didn’t negotiate with him. Was his request a small one? He felt regret as he should have asked for a higher price.
But he overcame that bitterness by telling himself that he had won a gold mine. The gains that he would gain as a result of that agreement will solidify his place in this world. He smiled at the Roliv and then said:
“I will be back here after six hours, and then we will sign the contract and move towards the Renalt world.”
Roliv did not turn his eyes away from Ibro as he moved away from the hallway. This boy has exceeded his expectations and raised his curiosity to know the reason for his strange request.
Roliv was not surprised by Ibro’s request for his great service, but he did not expect his request to be a proportion of the scrolls that would be produced by them.
He knew very well that the amount of these rolls would be huge, and Ibro percentage of them would be enough to give him great wealth if he sold them.
But something inside him kept telling him that Ibro would not sell any scrolls he would gain from them, so what did Ibro need these scrolls for?
These scrolls were only used for the Apidon world and no one will be able to use them outside this world. Did Ibro have his own plans for the world of Apidon?
This was what aroused the curiosity of Roliv and made him agree to Ibro’s request, although it was somewhat expensive in terms of his service to them, he wanted to know what he would be able to do in the future.
He knew best the situation in this world and how desperate this world needed some huge changes to make the still waters for so long years to move.
Ibro moved out of the Grand Palace to find himself in a maze of streets that he knew nothing about. This time he missed Millar and his endless chatter.
He walked in one of the big streets and tried to guess the location of the library, but after half an hour of walking, he surrendered and started asking around.
After a short time, he knew that he was on the right street, but he was going in the wrong direction.
So, he went back again to take about three-quarters of an hour until he finally reached a great building that seemed to Ibro that it was a group of buildings attached to each other.
He stood in front of the giant library with wide-open doors without any guards. That was strange, unlike the libraries he had visited in the game cities before.
He walked over the staircase, made of stone, resembling polished marble but pulsated in a faint silver color.
He passed the short stairway and went up to cross the entrance of the library to find himself in a great hallway in the form of a giant semicircle hall. Many corridors branched out from this semi-circle hallway.
In the middle of the hallway, there was a small desk in which a man sat with a long, pointed shaped hat, in front of which was a large number of scrolls that he was looking at attentively not noticing Ibro’s appearance.
Ibro looked around, but he found only this person in this hallway, so he moved towards him, and the sound of his feet rang in the empty big hall.
Ibro stood before the busy man with a strange focus on reading the scrolls in front of him. After minutes of silence and lack of attention to the man’s Ibro presence, Ibro coughed to finally attract the man’s attention.
The man looked at him with a strange look, as if in front of him was a strange alien species, after which the features of surprise appearing on his face was replaced by happiness, as he said:
“Welcome. We rarely have someone come here today, excuse me, I was not aware of your presence.”
Ibro did not find the man’s words strange, because when he came here, he did not find a single person entering or leaving the place.
Ibro was standing alone in the place which was completely empty of anyone else.
“I wanted to buy a set of return scrolls to Shonty city. How much is a set of return scrolls?”
“You are a newcomer to the city? Welcome, since you are new here, you will have a big discount on your purchase of sets of return scrolls of the city.
The original price is ten Apidon coins for one set, but you can only buy it for only two.”
“I want twenty sets of return scrolls.”
Suddenly a long, wonderfully polished wooden staff appeared in the hand of the man, with disorderly pointed shaped multiple ends of the staff which reminded Ibro of his unhappy hair when he woke up from sleep.
Then the man muttered a few words after which a number of scrolls suddenly appeared in front of his office. Ibro swapped the scrolls with coins, while the man said:
“You can get a discount for any scroll here, as long as it doesn’t belong to the legendary grade, for a whole year. Welcome to our Shonty city.”
“Thank you, sir.”
Ibro answered him with a gentle smile, then left, leaving the empty library hall, to find himself again in the crowded street.
He felt the contradiction between the state of the street and the state of the library and wondered inside him about the reason which made the library have this strange vacancy of visitors.
He took a long look at the library and then pulled a return scroll of Ihnasia city. Before he tore it in half he thought about those scrolls he just bought.
He didn’t know if Oya could move to the Shonty city before reaching the 10th level, but in theory, she could.
He reappeared in the city center of empty Ihnasia city. Ibro opened his friends’ list to find a single person who was Oya.
He sent five sets of return scrolls to Oya, who immediately rushed to call him. After accepting the call he found her standing in front of him, holding one of the scrolls he had just sent with a strange smile on her face.
“Is this a return scroll of Apidon world, Ibro?”
“Yes, you can use it to go there now so you can get out of the game. Do you want me to go now?”
“Yes, do you not want to quit the game too?”
Oya looked at the scroll with the curiosity of a female asking:
“But can I use it before I reach level 10?”
“I really don’t know, but what will we lose? Use it and we will know the answer.”
“But what if it gets damaged? This scroll looks expensive, Ibro.”
“Don’t worry, I got a lot of them and I can get more easily. Now try it.”
“OK .”
Ibro looked with anticipation as Oya tore the scroll in front of him. Oya was covered for five seconds with a halo of white light then disappeared.
Ibro was not late as he pulled a return scroll of Shonty city and tore it straight away to be surrounded with the same aura as Oya. Five seconds later, he found himself in the middle of a crowded square again.
He did not find any difficulty in finding Oya, as its appearance was accompanied by the great fuzz, because her level was very weak. Ibro moved, breaking through the crowds that surrounded Oya as if she were an alien.
He pulled her hand to move rapidly heading out of the square amid the looks of everyone towards them.
Ibro did not care about their looks, and once he left the square, he moved to one of the side streets branching from the street where they entered escaping from the square.
As soon as she disappeared from everyone’s eyes, Ibro turned to find her face showing signs of panic as she said:
“Ibro, as soon as I appeared there they surrounded me and started to ask me many questions. I felt so terrified.”
Ibro felt pity for her, and he understood how dangerous the situation was. If Ibro didn’t save her from them, everyone would have thought that she might be a spy working for Pnro.
The consequences could be dire then. Ibro sighed and then said, trying to reassure her:
“Don’t worry too much about what happened, they thought you might be a Pnro agent. This is a natural reaction to the appearance of a stranger here.
They also suspected me before when I appeared here for the first time. Now you can see that they didn’t suspect me anymore. Relax and don’t worry.”
“Will I be exposed to the same situation whenever I come here, Ibro?”
Her question shocked him like a thunderbolt. Ibro never thought of this hypothesis. He felt silent until he found a solution quickly.
He told her about the world he was going to and explained the details of his big plan to her in general without telling her the source of Renalt world information.
The more he spoke, the calmer her features became and she seemed more reassured than before, then she said after Ibro finished his speech:
“Do you want me to go with you to the world of Renalt? But can I get out of the game from there?”
Ibro shook his head and then said:
“Unfortunately no. To get out of the game, we must be in the Apidon world.”
Before panic reappeared again on her face, Ibro quickly went on to say:
“But do not worry, when you appear here you must immediately exit from the game or coordinate with me to appear together at the same time in order for me to be able to help you.
Likewise, when you appear alone here, you should immediately use the return scroll for Ihnasia city.
I will also speak with the Roliv, Shonty city governor, to tell everyone about your presence and this will allow everyone here to accept you.”
“The intervention of this Roliv will make the matter more accessible.”
“Of course, I will meet with Roliv in about five hours. You have to quit the game and finish all of your affairs then return here within this time.
By the way, this is my personal phone number, save it and don’t tell anyone about it. Before you enter the game, call me or send me a message and I will not enter the game before you call me.”
“Don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone your number no matter what. Thank you Ibro.”
