When Amberser handed over the Artifactual Coin with immense heartache, Gustavo Flint was somewhat dazed.
Was the Lich really not acting? The tremble in his voice seemed all too real.
Indeed, Amberser was not pretending. Though he could have earned a twofold profit margin, for the sake of alchemy's development, he painfully allowed the God of Alchemy to only increase the price by one fold.
How much money was that?
Earning less, what's the difference from losing money?
Therefore, no matter how well Gustavo Flint knew Amberser and how deeply he understood the human heart, Amberser's attitude was genuinely without pretense. Even if a deity descended to conduct a lie detection, nothing amiss would be found.
"This coin, I entrust to you. Its function is to add the attribute of a corpse to all matters. However, each transformation requires a substantial amount of gold. As for how much, test it yourself. Those are the rates set by the God of Alchemy."
