Arkanos gazed at the floating messages from the gods with a blank expression, his sharp eyes moving across each line.
'Let them wager all they like...'
Arkanos thought, dismissing the system messages with a wave of his hand.
'Perhaps soon I should take advantage of the fact I can hear them and make a bet of mine as well. But not today.'
Arvel's voice pulled him from his thoughts. "Your Majesty, I must say… I've never heard of anyone creating gold with holy power before. It's unheard of."
Arkanos turned to him with a calm, confident smile. "Well, Arvel..." he said smoothly, "there is a first time for everything."
Without further explanation, Arkanos called out to the system in his mind.
'System, I want to convert some of my upgrade points into gold coins.'
A chime echoed in his head, followed by a system window materializing before him.
