God is a Game Designer 136 C135 Karoth's Annoyance

The words were coming crashing down as Auryn felt that coming from the man sitting close to her left. It was clear that he despised her and the other members here. It seemed much more complicated than mere hatred for not being a dark elf or dwarf. It felt thicker and more profound than pure race hatred.

"Karoth!"

Desren was the first to speak after the fact. Giving a signal to the man sitting close to Auryn that he was way out of line with his words. Though by the features given back by Karoth it seemed her cared little.

"May I ask what problems you have with me then Council Member Karoth?"

Auryn spoke those soft words as she kept her smile on her face, her posture relaxed as she wanted to get through this without issue as she needed to get this resolved without having to rely on Nathan. It seemed. Lately, they all required Nathan to do the heavy lifting which she wanted to prove was not necessary now.

"Problem. Of course, I have a problem with someone coming into our place with grand ideas on how to solve everything. One small basket full of materials, food and water and we treat you like this. I still want to see full proof that you can even do the things you claim!"

Each word hammering home as Karoth spoke. Both other council members angered by this as well since the knew the truth, having witnessed the powers themselves when the mace came to being. The ladies were staring at the man with anger as they waited for him to finish.

"Before you say anything Council Member's I heard of the rumours and heard of what happened at the Blacksmiths shop. It's an impressive display of power, but it still means nothing to provide enough food for thousands of people in this harsh landscape." Continued Karoth.

Both members of the council turned to look over at Auryn as they also wanted to know if this was possible. They had seen the woman's powers in such a capacity but nothing entirely relating to food at this point.

"Let us also get to the point of payment, transport and support from the merchants. Can you even guarantee this for us?"

Karoth continued as he went through sheet after sheet of concerns he had. Finally coming to the last parchment as he spoke louder still with annoyance and anger.

"Then it comes down to the fact that this is a new town. I bet you do not have a setup trade network or transportation department who can help deliver the goods. Do you expect us to send our carts over two weeks to get this supply of food?"

His voice annoyed as Kaye and Kai stared in anger at him while Auryn just listened with patience and kindness as she showed no rage or hostility herself. Just let the man say his complete peace before she responded.

"If we send people to the location and find nothing. Or worse we find bandits or an army waiting for them. What do we do then?"

Crossing his arms as he looked to the woman with evident disgust and annoyance as he threw out the entire problem with this as he felt like the women in front of him were using this opportunity to get whatever they could before ditching out or worse luring them into a trap.

"So really. The only way I can get you to trust us is if I can prove to you all that I'm not danger or trying to pull your traders into a trap. Then at that point we may not even do the deal due to the distance."

Shrugging her shoulders as Auryn continued speaking.

"Since food can go off quickly in this desert heat. Without someone like me or Natahn around it will be hard to stop the food from going bad in the two weeks. So the resources traded will be almost useless without mages which will jump up the price on your side."

Each word was causing the three council members to blink as they never expected her to also show more faults with the plan. Karoth was squinting at the woman as he did not understand the reason behind her shooting down this as well.

"Indeed. May I ask why you are also shooting yourself in the foot. I thought you wanted us to begin trading, but it seems you are tanking it instead?"

Short laughter was coming from Auryn as she shook her head in response to those words from Karoth as he spoke about her shooting herself in the foot.

"I plan to aim no Crossbows at any of my body parts Sir Karoth. It's just that you are wrong about everything. My trade plan is easy and will only require one day of travelling at worst and will have food to you very quickly."

Her words caused a stir as both the council members who had toured with the woman smiled as they knew something amazing was again going to happen. Karoth on the other hand just scowled as he stared at her.

"What bullshit are you spouting now?" He said to her bluntly.

"Oh, no bullshit Karoth. It's something my Master gave to me. The power he provided to me is a blessing, but he used his power to make this deal rather smooth."

Standing up from the table as she continued to smile at the man, pushing her chair in as she walked around and towards the door.

"Well, let's go. I need to prove you wrong and make you realise that this is the real deal. Once we get to the south side of the city, I can shove those words right down that neck of yours!"

She said those words were laughing gently as the others began to follow behind. Karoth stunned as he came up behind them looking annoyed.

"Why do we need to go to the south side of the city. What is the purpose!"

Auryn responding as she looked at the man with a grin.

"To set it up after all."

Responding after a small pause.

"The Teleportation Gate!"
