Chapter Seventy-Three: Tamur's Purpose

At this point, Mino really had no reason to doubt it anymore, so as soon as Tamr's words fell, Mino reached out and took the long-sought Noble Phantasm badge from Tamr's hand.

As Valia had described, it was a thick, triangular metal badge, with three edges that were not specifically blunted, but not sharp, revealing a thick rock formation beneath the overall color of the earthy yellow.

On the front of this simple badge, apart from the dark engraved euphemoids of the rock formations, the only decoration is the mountain range pattern made of dull dark yellow gemstones, which has a different kind of solid connotation against the background of the rock formations.

To be honest, apart from that different meaning, this badge really has nothing to worry about, and if it weren't for Valya's exposure of the nature of its magic items due to the legacy effect of the Noble Phantasm and the spiritual link it generated, there would be no need for Tamur, who pursues huge profits, to buy it.

After carefully rubbing left and right to make sure that Tamr had not smeared poison on it, Mino smiled and tossed the badge to the long-awaited Valya.

When the badge was taken out of the box by Tamr, Valya was already agitated, and when this thing reached Mino's hands, Valya was even more like a hungry tiger, if it wasn't for Mino's desperate suppression in order to avoid future troubles, I'm afraid this girl would have been ready to snatch it from Mino's hands.

After holding back for so long, and now she finally got the most precious treasure back, Valya didn't even bother to say thank you to Mino, or in the eyes of this girl, Mino, who was already her own, didn't need to say thank you, anyway, Valya took the badge with one hand, and then put her face on it and rubbed it hard.

The posture of grinding this badge into her body was so chilling that even Mino, who knew the importance of this badge to Valya, had to wonder if this girl had a fetish.

Valya's performance stunned Mino and Tamur, in order not to lose the face of the High God Church in front of outsiders, Mino secretly attacked several times, but there was no way to pull Valya out of this fetish outburst state, plus as Tamur woke up from the state of surprise, Mino, who knew that the wood was already in the boat, did not do any more useless work, and could only reluctantly let it go.

Also taking advantage of Valya's fetish outbreak, Mino asked his last irrelevant question:

"Having said all this, but Mr. Tamur, you didn't tell us why you chose to stay, after all, we are people who can threaten your life, and it is better to let someone else return the things to us or leave them on the table than to stay in person, do you believe in the character of our priests?"

Hearing Mino's question, a playful look appeared on Tamr's face, and after a moment, he laughed out loud under Mino's surprised gaze.

"I really didn't expect it, old man, I was still thinking about how to turn the topic around, little guy, you brought it up directly, it's really the appetite of the old man, if it weren't for the priesthood, I would have wanted to dig you up, old man. ”

"What's going on, is there anything else you want to tell us, Mr. Tamur?"

"Of course, there have been many apostates in the church, and the name of the priesthood alone is not enough for the old man to take the risk to stay, the reason why I personally came to reconcile with you, old man, is to make a lot of money!"

With that, Tamr stood up with a thud, slapped the table in front of him, and reached out his other hand in front of Mino.

"The thing has been given to you, and the benefits promised in order to recover the badge, I guess Mr. Mino, who is an upright priest, will not be stingy, take the benefits!"

Tamr's astonishing behavior, which was completely inconsistent with the temperament he had shown before, startled Mino, but when he came back to his senses and thought about it, he smiled again.

Although Tamr was a little incompatible, Mino got the answer he wanted from his actions.

The reason why Tamr chose to stay in person was to say the previous words to Mino, so that Mino could understand his work, and even if Mino didn't ask those questions, Tamr would have found an opportunity to say those things himself.

And the intention is very simple, that is, to let Mino and them reach a reconciliation with Tamr as they do now, and use their own personal explanation to let Mino and them understand that although Tamr is holding Valya's badge, he is not Mino's enemy, and if he really wants to settle accounts, he can go to the thief, he is just doing his job without knowing it.

And the purpose of all this is for the reason that Tamur just said.

To the good.

Only by clearing up the theft of Valya's treasure badge with himself can Tamr be eligible to claim benefits from Minoon and them on the grounds that he has recovered the badge.

Otherwise, even if Mino, they get back the badge, they don't plan to retaliate against Tamur, but the promised benefits can't fall into the hands of him Tamur.

Of course, Tamr probably saw the harmlessness of Mino and Valya before making such a decision, after all, as an unscrupulous businessman who tries to make every profit, the opportunity to get back a good profit with just one mouth is not unusual when his life is not in danger.

And Mino really didn't expect that Tamur would be so old next year, and he already had a lot of family business, so it was really strange that there would be such a kind of enthusiasm of a poor and white newcomer.

However, it is strange to be strange, and Mino does not have much interest in who this benefit will be handed over, but it is not so easy to let Mino be calculated by Tamur willingly in vain.

So for the rest of the day, Minnow and Tamr were in a state of bargaining, and they had a heated discussion about how to give a low price for the gem, and finally came to such a result.

Mino was to sell all the gems to Tamr at the price he had promised, and in return, Mino would receive a supply of scroll potions, and the identity and address of the thief who sold the badge to Tamr as an additional bonus, which was given to Mino by the unscrupulous profiteer.

At this point, the badge recovery operation, which was expected to be extremely tortuous and highly likely to fail, ended with such a bizarre result.
