GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?-Chapter 2091: Too Expensive.

The custodian explained, "If you had failed the test, I would have sent you back to prepare your mind after you've paid for the cost of the auxiliary potion. But you passed the test which means you have my recommendation to become a godclad."

"Now that you have both the permission of the captain and the custodian of this branch of lamp bearers, you can officially become one of us. That is if you survive the process of becoming a godclad."

"What you need to do is settle the bill for both the divine flesh and the auxiliary potion. If you don't pay, then you won't become a godclad."

Legion became downcast when he heard that. He thought becoming a godclad with the help of the lamp bearers would be free. Now that he heard that he has to pay, he was disappointed.

Still, he asked, "How much is the divine flesh?"

But inwardly he thought to himself, "One has to jump through so many hoops for power. Only the lamp bearers can be this unreasonable."

He truly thinks the lamp bearers are unreasonable with their requirements. He has to prepare his existence with his own money, pay for the divine flesh with his own money, get the permission of not one but two people, and still have to join the lamp bearers after everything is done.

It was almost too much for him. If he didn't have a way to break the oath and if there were not the benefits of the channela of the lamp bearers, he would leave right now.

The custodian answered his question by raising all five of his fingers and saying, "500 gold coins."

He was shocked by that price. He was so shocked that he exclaimed, "500 gold coins? Why is it so expensive?"

He was truly surprised by the price because he doesn't think rank 1 divine flesh should be that expensive.

From his knowledge, rank 1 divine flesh should cost 200 gold coins at most. But this man had more than doubled it. If he didn't get a good explanation, he was ready to quit here and now.

The custodian wagged a finger at him and said, "Don't think it is too expensive. The cost of power is never too expensive."

"Besides, we are not a for-profit organization, so all you need to pay is the cost of the acquisition of the divine flesh and the cost of keeping the divine flesh safe. The divine flesh of killing is not easy to acquire, trust me. Those who possess them are strong killers."

Unfortunately, that explanation wasn't good enough for Legion. He frowned and said, "I can't afford that much. I guess I will have to wait until I have enough money."

The custodian sighed. "That's unfortunate."

Then he said with a calm voice, "But waiting for money is just one solution to your problem. There is another solution right in front of you."

Saying that, he pointed at the bow and continued, "You can grab the divine flesh right now and use it. If you use it before I can stop you, then there is nothing I can do after you use it. I will just have to accept that you've used it and have become one of us. That way you won't have to spend any money."

Legion's eye twitched when he heard that.

He narrowed his eyes at the custodian and asked in suspicion, "Are you testing me again?"

The custodian became angry. He was so angry that he glared at Legion and grumbled under his breath. He grumbled for a long time while glaring at Legion.

While doing all of these, he was still stirring the potion. Then he asked, "Are you going to take the box or not?"

Legion shook his head and said, "Not without the auxiliary potion."

The custodian sighed in defeat. Then he asked, "How did you know?"

Legion raised an eyebrow at the question and replied, "You literally just tried to coerce me into stealing from you. The question should not be how I knew it was a test. The question should be why I should be fooled by you and not know that it was a test."

The custodian sighed again. He said, "To answer your question, I thought you would let down your guard after I told you that you had passed the test with flying colors. I thought the temptation for the divine flesh would increase exponentially now that you knew its value."

"I thought the value of 500 gold coins would be enough to make you overcome your resistance to the temptation and make you attempt to steal the divine flesh. I guess I thought wrong."

Legion nodded and asked, "So what's the real price of the divine flesh?"

The custodian replied without looking at him, "There is no price. You don't have to pay for anything since you would be a lamp bearer. We take care of our own."

"Besides, the divine flesh is free and unused. It would be a shame to continue to let it collect dust. It is better to use it on a promising junior."

Legion smiled when he heard that. What he displayed was genuine happiness.

He said, "That's good to hear."

The custodian didn't hear what he said. The man's eyes were unfocused. He was looking into the distance, thinking of something.

He shook his head and said, "Do you know that you're the first person to pass the willpower test on their first try? Everyone else usually needs three or more tries before they can resist the temptation."

Legion shrugged and said, "I guess I'm just that good."

The man sighed and said, "Maybe that's it. I hope that's it. I hope it is not that I am losing my edge, which is why I failed to ensnare you after two attempts. I hope it is that you're good because if you aren't good, you will die."

Legion shook his head. "I am not afraid. If I am not afraid, why should you?"

The custodian looked at him then and focused on him. He stared at Legion for a long while as if seeing him for the first time. Then he smiled.
