After a few minutes of negotiation, Medea came back with her face glowing with excitement.
"How much?" Aske asked.
"Including the reward for 'convincing' others before," Medea said, "7800 Lorraine Gold Coins, to be paid in three installments, with 10% upfront."
"Oh," Aske uttered.
"Hold on, you're way too nonchalant about this," Medea expressed her puzzlement, "Do you have any idea what 7800 Gold Coins represent? It's the combined wealth that twenty middle-class families could save up in a lifetime, enough to hire a large Mercenary Group for a local campaign!"
"So what? Converted into Level II Magic Potions, it's only about six or seven bottles," Aske said, showing how the outrageous prices in the Extraordinary Realm had completely desensitized him to normal economic judgment.
"No, no, no, a few thousand coins is still quite a lot," Nora surprisingly countered him, "When I left Solomon City, the allowance my mother transferred to my account in one go was about this much."
