"Sigh... I don't know. I can only believe that what she said I would find in this place will really come in handy on my trip.

The contract she created doesn't have a time limit, so as long as I don't go to Elves Island early, I'll be fine.

Other than that, I intend to return the 'kindness' in the future." He said to Ross, being sincere.

He did not view elves as negatively as these creatures. But the contract that woman forced on him bothered him, and Minos intended to take revenge.

Ross saw the sincerity in Minos' words and felt reassured that it had helped this man who was not a vassal of the elves.

He was someone like them, an oppressed one of heaven's chosen ones!

Ross nodded to Minos and said. "Well, I wish you luck. As for the item you might find in this city, do you have any tips on how to find it? There are endless possibilities here."

"She said it would help me in my goal..." He said, thinking better of it. "It must be something ancient, of human origin, and high-level. I'm after something related to a high-level Spiritual Demigod, so such a thing must be pretty fantastic.

This will probably protect or give me a chance, so it must be a defensive item. Maybe with formations engraved on itself."

Those three listened carefully and concluded they would have a good chance of leading 'Ed' to such a thing just at where they were going.

'Damned elves! You really are impressive!' Ross realized the coincidence, noting that even though it didn't know anything, it led 'Ed' to the best place for this human to look for what the elf had said.

Randall sighed and said. "Then there is no mistake. The place that Senior Ross is taking us must be where you should go through. The Ancestral Chamber of Commerce."

"Sigh... It looks like your future will be grim, young Ed." Sapphire said.

"What? What does that mean?"

"Don't bother with what Sapphire says," Randall expressed. "She is shocked that you will get that item even if you were not looking for it. That's stuff from the elf who talked to you...

But anyway, the Ancestral Chamber of Commerce has the largest stock of ancient Spiritual World items in the ocean. I dare say that even Spatial Kingdoms of the old Gods don't have things as valuable and ancient as this place."

Ross agreed. "That place was created by a Collecting Mollusk who lived 80,000 years. This senior collected a plethora of sea and land riches in its lifetime, having, according to the stories, visited every continent and island in this world.

When it died one million years ago, it was already among the most sought-after in the Spiritual World by people searching for lost ancient artifacts.

To give you an idea of how relevant this place is, two Supreme Pontiffs of the Spiritual Church came here during this period in search of lost items from their organization.

Only one of them got what he was looking for, while the other left after falling out with the head mollusk of the time."

This place did not exist at the time of Henricus Longus, so Minos listened carefully to the words of that level 84 fish.

"In any case, your fate probably lies in that place," Ross said, already seeing from afar a gigantic building that combined over 400 capsules to form what appeared to be a large square.

Minos saw that place was completely red and had a single entrance in the middle of the face facing in their direction.

In that place, several mollusks were positioned in the surroundings, keeping the order of the beings who wished to enter to observe the collection of this place.

Some items from the Ancestral Chamber of Commerce were on display for observation, so even beings with no interest in shopping passed by.

So when they got in line, one of the mollusks soon approached them and said. "That's 500 high-grade crystals for all of you. You will have up to 12 hours if you decide to enter the Ancestral Chamber of Commerce."

Ross did not want to go in there and said goodbye to Minos. "Ed, this is where we say goodbye.

I hope you can beat the damned elf who put you in this troublesome situation."

"Hmm, I'll do my best."

"All in all, that's all. I hope to hear from you in the future."

"You certainly will." Minos smiled as he saw Ross leaving.

Then he and the two fish paid the expensive entrance fee for that place, not taking long to get their turn to enter there.

Unlike other places that allowed many beings to enter simultaneously, this place allowed only ten individuals at a time.

So when they entered, the three of them found a superb place but practically empty of living beings.

Many shelves and corridors extended at different angles, where one could go up, down, sideways, and even follow diagonal paths.

There were mirrors on the outer walls of this large square area, so anyone who entered there would feel as if this space was infinite because of the optical illusion.

One of the mollusks that looked after the groups that entered there then approached these three and said. "Welcome to the Ancestral Chamber of Commerce. Are you here to buy or observe?"

Minos then said. "I am searching for something that will help me in a goal, but fate has not yet revealed it to me as it is.

I believe I will find it here."

"Very well. Can you tell me anything so we can begin the search for this item?" That being in its beast form, but smaller than its real form, a little larger than an adult human, said. "Rest assured. I will maintain the secrecy of what you seek."

"I am in search of something related to the Spiritual Church." Minos went straight to the point, knowing that beings of this race were very trustworthy.

Collector Mollusks were not only beings with extreme abilities to search for valuable items but also extremely sincere beings who would not, even under torture, hand over what they knew.

That alone was why this place had developed so much, and powers from all over the Spiritual World passed through without fear of having their tracks tracked by their enemies!

"Specifically, something related to Maximillian Flamen and the Seraphim Ancient Sarcophagus."

After Minos' words, that big-eyed beast narrowed its eyes, wondering where it had heard those names.

"Hmmm, I already know where we start! Follow me!" It said before moving to the upper levels of that area.
