Alliance City was flourishing and the population of the city skyrocketed, crossing millions in the following days.

Afterward, it didn\'t take long for small problems to crop up. Examples included an acute shortage of supply of nearly everything followed by the obvious fact that most missions in the Guild hall were being taken by the vast number of Adventurers that registered at the Guild in the hopes of making a big fortune.

The ratio between the number of Guild missions and the adventurers who wanted to complete them went for a toss much like the demand for resources, goods and so on that skyrocketed as well.

Everyone wanted to collect contribution points but the new citizens of Alliance City quickly noticed that many things were extremely expensive as well.

The shortage of Tier-2 runic armaments was the worst. Tier-2 runic armaments were basically the best weapons Originals at the Deux rank could use. Some Tier-3 runic armaments could be used by Keltia Originals but the number of Keltia Originals who were actually capable of using the full potential of such armaments was quite low.

Thus, Tier-2 runic armaments were currently of more use, especially because they required less mana for the same effect they would be able to unleash within Tier-3 runic armaments.

With that in mind, even the few Grandmasters and the only Archmaster Runicier began to create Tier-2 runic armaments. Their plan was to make use of the business opportunity, earn lots of money, and allow the city to prosper as fast as possible.

When more dungeons would be conquered and more resources would be provided, the faster the city would grow. Alliance City\'s working force required a tremendous amount of resources to expand the city, and most of the Guild hall\'s basic missions had been invoiced by them.

They required a constant supply of resources, which made things a lot more difficult compared to the case when the population of the city had been smaller.

In fact, Nial\'s rapid pace of completing those missions turned him into one of the biggest contributors to ensure that the City\'s working force had their hands full, continuing to expand the city.

Only now that more Originals of various races with varying degrees of demands had appeared in the city did things change quite a bit.

There was not much time left until the Alliance Auction would start and news of certain unique goods that were going to be sold at the auction was already released to the public.

That gave Nial the motive to ensure that he could increase the value of his goods as well.

He finished creating more than 1000 Broken Peak Tier-2 runic accessories with life-saving abilities engraved on them. It wouldn\'t be a problem for any being at the Mid Advanced Mirae rank to use two of them in self-defense and save their lives before their mana would run out, and it was possible to block two Keltia-ranked attacks like that as well!

The old blacksmith labeled these runic accessories as heavenly blessed, while the other runic armaments Nial had forged were labeled even worse…they were labeled \'Blessed by a True God\' by the old blacksmith.

Nial liked this, which is why he chose to give his runic accessories a unique brand name [Heaven\'s Protectors], while the other runic armaments he created were either labeled, [One Strike to Hell], or [Asura\'s Wrath].

Nial knew that these were not really brands and that he merely labeled them like this but the names signified power and that was already more than enough to entice prospective buyers towards his creations, even before the tournament.

That was the reason why Nial wanted to sell a few [Heaven\'s Protectors], [One Strike to Hell], and [Asura\'s Wrath] weapons. It was pretty simple, in fact!

He had to give a few highly renowned Originals some freebies of his three \'brands\' or runic armaments in order to market himself as an efficient seller and creator that people would flock to.

They would then share their experience about the weapons with others, or just search more of these runic armaments, which would in return create interest in the Originals around the renowned Originals giving them free publicity.

Why are they so interested in these runic armaments? Where can you buy them? How can I make the most use of them once I buy them?

All those questions were something of utmost importance to the Originals, who wanted to have the best possible weapons to protect their life even if they were to encounter powerful opponents. It was obvious that one would want to avoid dangerous situations but, in the Universe, where the Law of the Jungle prevailed, only those who were ready to face dangerous situations would grow, become stronger and advance.

The moment one stopped challenging oneself and slacked off everything might already be over. Nial knew this very well.

He thought a lot about his parents when creating the [Heaven\'s Protectors] because he was pretty sure that his parents would have been able to overcome the unfortunate incident with Bella if they had been in possession of a similar runic armament.

Nial knew that he would have never been able to create a powerful Tier-2 runic armament with similar characteristics as the Heaven\'s Protectors at that time. His knowledge hadn\'t been that advanced when the incident had happened, but that did not make him regret any less that he wasn\'t able to save his mother.

Selling the "Broken" Peak Tier-2 runic armaments to renowned Originals through certain channels and in small numbers at specific, well-known shops in Alliance City, Nial took the first step toward attaining his grand goal.

There was still a month left before the Alliance Auction would be held but Nial had already killed off his Monster Army. He used their Origin crystals, their unique drops, and a few more things to his advantage.

He had thousands of extraordinary drops and he paid a Master Appraiser to appraise all of the goods that the apprentice Appraiser was unable to identify let alone appraise properly.

Spending hundreds of thousands of contribution points for that might seem like a waste of precious points at the first glance, but the reality was different. Nial was pretty sure that he made huge gains as some of the appraised goods were exceptionally valuable.

Amongst them were five items that even Master Appraisers couldn\'t appraise. Nial was forced to get his hands on a Grandmaster Appraiser to have them identified.

The price for their appraisal was enormous but the result was even better because Nial found out that he had gotten his hands on a handful of exceptionally rare items.

However, Nial\'s focus was not on them. He was more focused on the plans that had come up in his mind. He had applied for the Alliance Auction, and gave them all identified goods that were appraised to be valued over 500,000 Contribution Points, including the vast majority of his life-saving runic accessories.

Nial provided a very detailed description of the capabilities of every single type of runic armament. There were certain runic accessories that had been \'customized\' for certain races to be used.

There was a reason for Nial to do all of this but he didn\'t feel as if he had the necessary time to make sure that all of his plans could be properly executed.

After all, it was quite difficult to make sure that everyone would get to know about his runic armaments, and believe the rumors they were bound to hear.

Nial could tell that he made a few mistakes but he intended to fix them with quite an easy task.

"To make sure that you guys will earn big profit from my sales, you can demonstrate the power of my runic armaments by releasing a [Asura\'s Wrath] used by a Keltia Original against the [Heaven\'s Protectors] wielded by a Low Advanced Mirae Original. Sacrificing one of the Heaven\'s Protectors will be worth it as long as you demonstrate everything properly!"

Only the Heaven\'s Protectors and One Strike to Hell were broken runic armaments. Meanwhile, the Asura\'s Wrath were extraordinary Peak Tier-2 and Low Tier-3 runic armaments with the capability to elevate the power of ordinary Keltia Originals by leaps and bounds. As long as they could wield the Asura\'s Wrath properly, it wouldn\'t be impossible for someone to defeat Elite Keltia Originals while being considered a Keltia Original with ordinary combat prowess!

And this was something Nial wanted to make use of as much as possible, after all, he wanted to become as rich as possible!
