Age Of Islands: I Can See Through All Things Chapter 3

The other party soon came to Jack.
Walking in front was a pot-bellied middle-aged man who was dressed in an incongruous aristocratic outfit.
His two eyes lit up when they saw Jack.
He quickly walked over and greeted, "Jack, my friend, I hope you didn't wait too long!"
"Of course, Aaron. You're just in time. Your wonderful qualities will make your reputation even more widespread on Noah's continent." Jack laughed.
"Haha, you're right, Jack! However, you know that once you buy such a large number of slaves, the slave market in the city will be empty!" Aaron said as he rubbed his hands.
Hearing Aaron's words, Jack frowned and thought to himself, "Indeed, no matter which world, businessmen or merchants are all equally shameless!"
The issue was not about money at all.
Once Jack relented, not only would he not get the slaves, but Aaron would also take advantage of him.
Therefore, he could not compromise!
Thus, Jack smiled unpleasantly. "Aaron, did you inform Earl Draven's eldest son about this? After all, my trip is supported by him."
Aaron stiffened at the mention of Earl Draven's eldest son.
His greedy face revealed some compromise. "Hehe, I came in a hurry and forgot to inform him. However, Young Master Jack, this price is indeed low. Because of your purchase, the price of slaves in the city has soared to an unprecedented level."
Just as Jack was about to speak, Eugene nudged Jack's arm and whispered, "Master, there's a Gold Swordsman over there. Be careful."
At Eugene's words, Jack's face darkened. Sure enough, Aaron did not have any good intentions.
However, it seemed like he did not know Jack's identity. He was just a merchant who was greedy.
If that was the case, this was not the worst scenario yet!
But the matter of the Gold Swordsman was a big problem.

According to Jack's information, the Swordsmen in this world were divided into Black Iron, Silver, Gold, and Platinum.
Each realm was divided into Elementary, Intermediate, and Advanced.
The difference in strength between each realm was like heaven and earth.
The dozens of Silver Swordsmen around Jack could not bring too much pressure to the Gold Swordsmen!
Thinking up to this point, Jack took a deep breath and said, "Aaron, you know that I am sponsored by the Earl's eldest son. Of course, I will not let you suffer a loss. How about this, the price of each slave will increase by another three silver coins. This is my bottom line!"
Alice tried to talk Jack out of it, but he stopped her.
He had already expected things to turn out this way so he had made arrangements in advance. This bit of money would be given to Aaron in exchange for safety.
The price system in this world was: one gold coin was equivalent to 100 silver coins, and one silver coin was equivalent to 100 bronze coins. An ordinary family would only earn about 10 silver coins a year.
That was the amount for those with certain occupations.
Most poor people only earned two or three silver coins a year.
It could be said that Jack's offer was very sincere.
Sure enough, Aaron could not help but nod at Jack's words.
After a few more apologetic laughs, the handover officially began.
After the transaction, the 1,000 slaves of various ages were obtained.
Then, Jack took out the island pearl kept in his chest pocket.
He bit his finger and forced out a drop of blood.
After receiving Jack's blood, the stone-like pearl was instantly clean of all soil.
A perfect glass ball was revealed.
Inside the glass ball was a chaotic substance.
As Jack threw the glass ball in his hand into the sea, the glass ball instantly shattered and the chaotic energy inside instantly spread out.

The originally calm sea surface instantly began to ripple.
Some white substance appeared out of thin air.
Soon, the white substance simulated the shape of an island. With a gust of wind, the white substance on the island instantly disappeared, revealing the true appearance of the island.
Looking at the island that suddenly appeared, everyone was stunned by the miracle in front of them!
Jack could not help but say: "I really didn't expect this world to be so magical. The pearl can actually create a real island!"
He had transmigrated from modern society.
Newton's common sense of physics in that world was the cornerstone of everyone's logic.
However, in this world, even if Newton was woken up from his grave, he could not explain it!
A thousand slaves looked at the magical scene in front of them and could not help but praise.
Their originally dark life now had a bit more brilliance.
Slaves had no human rights.
In Jack's previous life, America's civil war had already explained everything.
In addition, this world had magic as its foundation, making it impossible for the slaves to escape!
Once they ran away, the master would not even need to look for them. With just a thought, no matter where the slave was. they would immediately die!
This was enough to show the strangeness and dominance of magic!
Soon, under the arrangement of dozens of Silver Swordsmen, the slaves and the supplies prepared beforehand entered the island safely.
Jack, on the other hand, could not help but feel excited as he looked at the small island that was right in front of him.
From today onwards, this island was his personal asset.
The kingdom's laws could not govern this place!
It could be said that on this island, Jack was the king!
He could casually send out his will.
He could also enact laws according to his ideals.
It was up to Jack to decide what the island would become!
It felt great!
Jack had completely fallen in love with this world at this moment!
After that, Jack and Aaron talked for a while, and then he took Alice up to the island.
After they got on the island, just as Jack was lamenting the wonders of creation, a voice spoke in his mind.
"Detected that the host is alive. Activating the Divine Island Master System."
"3."
"2."
"1."
"Activation complete. Congratulations, lucky host."
...
Before the system finished its sentence, a series of intense tremors came from the outside world.
Jack had no time to bother with the system's surprise. He suddenly opened his eyes and looked over.
In the distance, where Jack could not see, an endless cloud of dust appeared.
Although he could not see what it was, at this time, coupled with what Jack had done, it was not difficult to guess that they were definitely targeting him!
Damn it!
At this thought, Jack could not help but curse.
After several years of planning, he did not expect to fall into a dead end at the last moment!
It should be known that the few families Jack found to sponsor him were all important figures. There were as many Silver Swordsmen as dogs in the families, and Gold Swordsmen could occasionally be seen.
If they really fought, Jack's side had no power to resist at all!
However, God seemed to have made a joke with Jack. On his left hand, there were shouts of fighting and killing again. Countless people rushed towards him with various weapons.
It was the same on the right!
Seeing this, Jack's face darkened, "Damn it, who leaked the news?"

In the realm of Yggdrasil, there exist nine worlds. Each and every world has unique stories to tell, but there was one that stood out--The Floating World of Speir. In the land of Speir, the impossible does not exist; this world has given birth to thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of tales, fables, and legends. The fight for the fate of the world is a common occurrence and the neverending stories of the people which reside in it were all, by itself, always unique and interesting. Now, after many aeons have passed, the world has changed. Not only the power of magic could shape reality, technology also has the ability to change the world with just a thought. And from the world where futuristic technology meets magic, I have chosen to tell you a story, a story picked from countless others. This is the story of a boy who recently entered the prestigious, and the most powerful academy in all of the nine worlds--Yggdrasil Academy, to fufill his dream. What is his dream, you might ask.

Whatever opinions you might have, I truly thank all of you who are willing to spend your time to read my story. *The cover (which is a picture I do not own) is not in any way an accurate depiction of the world in the story. P/S I will post this story on FictionPress as well. P/P/S I'm relatively new to this website, so if I made any obvious (to regulars) mistakes, please tell me. P/P/P/S Will update every two weeks. *Important: In Hiatus for now. **13/7/2017 Update. Check chapter nine (and maybe ten) post-chapter note.
