Odys had come mainly to discuss the price of those Beyonder Characteristics with Bishop Dean. The Death God Pathway characteristics he had on hand were of little use to him.
He had acquired quite a few more characteristics from that Pathway in the recent battle, so he could sell them for more cash.
"I thought about that before coming," Odys said. "I won't charge an exorbitant price just because you need them, but there will be a modest premium."
Bishop Dean gestured for Odys to name his price.
Odys had already worked it out. "3,800 pounds for Sequence 6, 1,400 pounds for Sequence 7. Low Sequence characteristics will go at market price: 600 pounds for Sequence 8 and 300 pounds for Sequence 9."
Bishop Dean agreed at once. "That works."
Then he asked, "You acquired quite a few Death God Pathway characteristics in this battle?"
The previous night, Leonard had told Bishop Dean there were five or six. But from Odys's tone, it sounded as though he had eight or nine to sell him.
Odys paused. "Do they have to be from this battle?"
He smiled. "The first mate of the Deep Blue pirate crew was also a Death God Pathway Beyonder."
"Of course not," Bishop Dean said, realizing that Odys had a stockpile. "And whenever you acquire more, you can sell them to us.
"For Sleepless Pathway characteristics, we'll pay twenty percent more than the prices you just quoted."
Odys smiled. The Church of the Evernight Goddess certainly did business without fuss!
He set the suitcase he had brought on the table and opened it. "I brought every Death God Pathway characteristic I've accumulated."
He took a note from his wallet. "Here's the list."
Bishop Dean paused as he read it: two Spirit Guides;
Three Spirit Mediums;
Seven Gravediggers;
