For now, I did not see a way to get back at Aul Tuh for his actions. However, I wasn't prepared to leave here without getting what I want. The problem was none of the p.a.w.nshops in the Dariaus Merchant Mall would sell a Realm Token to a demon merchant who was not a native of the dark realm.

I had a way around this problem but I hate that I have to resort to it. I could use the Myriad Devil Body card's Myriad Devil Transformation skill to morph my spiritual body to look like one of the dark races from the dark realm. Other than this I did not see a way where Aul Tuh or any other p.a.w.nbroker in the Dariaus merchant mall would let me buy a Realm Token.

Now that I decided to use the myriad devil transformation skill the question was what dark race I morph into. I decided to morph into a dark race that was on good terms with the merchant goblin tribe, this was hard because the merchant goblin tribe was not an honest race they were a bunch of thieves and shady merchants. With that thought, only one dark race came to my mind that had a very good relations.h.i.+p with the merchant goblin tribe, the Swamp Ogre tribe of the Ogre race.

The Ogre race was one lazy race and the Swamp Ogre tribe was the laziest of them all. Expect for hunting they spent the rest of their time soaking in the swamp mud. They were blessed with insane strength but they had no ambition or motivation. So as a tribe, they did not have any notable achievements except for the fact that they used to loot nearby weak tribes along with the merchant goblin tribe to make easy money. And the greedy merchant goblin tribe loved them as a partner in crime as they did not charge much for their services.

Walking to a corner I instantly morphed my spiritual body into a four-foot-tall gray-skinned fat swamp ogre and morphed my spiritual clothes into the fanciest ethnic wear of the ogre race. Then I head back toward Aul Tuh's p.a.w.nshop.

Walking into the p.a.w.nshop this time I was not greeted by Aul Tuh but by another p.a.w.nbroker from his tribe, "Welcome, honored guest. I am Bul Tuh. How may I be of service to you today?"

"I heard that your p.a.w.nshop has a good collection of realm tokens I want to buy one," I spoke using the dark tongue with the accent of the swamp ogre tribe.

Hearing me Bul Tuh's eyes s.h.i.+ned, "Sure, honored guest, this way."

I followed Bul Tuh inside the p.a.w.nshop and caught a glimpse of Aul Tuh talking to a demon merchant who was not native to the dark realm. It seems Aul Tuh only attended to customers that he felt he could take advantage of, that was mostly the demon merchants not native to the dark realm.

Bul Tuh brought me to a s.p.a.cious room with big furniture suitable for the huge build of the Orges. Then he shared the list of realm tokens his p.a.w.nshop had along with their price, "Honored guest, please go through the list and ask me if you have any concerns."

"..." I was without words going through the list of realm tokens and their price. Even the cheapest one was worth more than my entire net worth. But the real problem was that there were no details about the realms these realm tokens belonged to, which meant that there was no way for me to justify the prices of the realm tokens put forward by the p.a.w.nshop.

This may be my first time purchasing a realm token but the articles I read were clear that the biggest scam the newbie demon merchants fell for was related to the realm tokens. This was I knew that right now Bul Tuh was trying to scam me with the list of realm tokens and their prices he shared with me. I now understand why he brought me to a private room instead of taking me to where the realm tokens were placed.

The one advantage of buying the realm tokens was that you know what you are getting into because it would have its manufacturing date and time on it. Not to mention whoever created the realm tokens would mention the resources and local forces that one could expect to find in that realm.

All these factors, time of realm discovery, time of realm token creation, resources available in the realm, the local power system, the strength of the local forces, etc factored into the valuation of the realm tokens.

The difference between the time of realm discovery and the creation of realm tokens was the most important factor. Because it helped us determine whether whoever discovered the realm had already emptied all the resources in that realm and was selling worthless realm tokens. What's the use of buying the realm token if all of its resources were already plundered? Realm tokens belonging to such realms were worthless.

Next came the nature, numbers, and strength of the realm's native forces. If they were stronger than me even if the realm was filled with various resources I could do nothing about it until I take care of the local forces.

Knowing that Bul Tuh was trying to scam me I frowned my brows and gave Bul Tuh a long hard look. From where I stood I had two choices in front of me, one to call him out for what he was trying to do or just leave. I wanted to go with the first choice but I prepared to leave feeling it was not worth the trouble, "I will be taking my leave."

"..." Bul Tuh looked at the swamp ogre speechlessly, 'What does he mean by he will be taking his leave? We just got here. And what's with the look did he catch on to what I was doing? Or does he want me to reduce the prices? Over my dead body. Scamming people is not easy.'

"Honored guest, was the listed realm tokens not to your liking?" Bul Tuh held back his dissatisfaction and maintained his calm as he continued to make a sale.
