Chapter 356: Withered Branch
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Xu Yuan was curious about the treasure that the Lords had brought with them.
He activated the True Eye of the Demon Dragon.
[Bronze Battle Blade]
[Level: None]
[Status: Heavily damaged.]
[Note: It was once a legendary weapon. Under the erosion of time, it has lost its power.]
The result was the same for the damaged black sword, the broken longbow, etc.
There were a total of 20 weapons on the counter. None of them could be used. However, most of them were indeed legendary items.
Xu Yuan wondered how the Lords had obtained such high-quality junk.
When the man with the goatee heard that the weapons were beyond repair, he didn’t even want to offer half the price. He chased the Lords away.
The Lords were very angry. They cursed at the staff, produced a black bag, and proceeded to put their weapons back into the bag.
Xu Yuan was amused. He turned around and left.
One of the Lords was putting a longsword in the bag when it fell to the floor. It broke with a crisp sound. Xu Yuan turned back to look.
Xu Yuan didn’t think much of it and just found the situation funny until one of the Lords took out a withered branch and swept the remaining weapons from the counter into his bag.
Xu Yuan’s heart pounded as he stared at the withered tree branch in the Lord’s hand. He felt a strange familiarity. The withered branch had a dark aura to it. Xu Yuan was curious. ‘Where did the Lord get the branch?’
The withered branch wasn’t old and derelict like the other weapons!
If Xu Yuan hadn’t established frequent contact with the Dark Withered Tree, he wouldn’t have recognized the aura of the branch.
For outsiders, the tree and the branch might be just trash which was contaminated with dark energy, but it was different for Xu Yuan.
Xu Yuan wanted to follow the Lord, but he noticed that the crowd was watching the group of Lords closely. He didn’t want to attract too much attention.
He watched as the angry Lords picked up their wares and prepared to leave. He leaned toward Tristana.
“Tristana, please stop those Lords from leaving,” whispered Xu Yuan. “They have something I need.”
Tristana blushed when she sensed Xu Yuan leaning so close to her.
Su Wan was a bit jealous, but she knew Xu Yuan wouldn’t do something like that if it wasn’t completely necessary.
Tristana nodded. She turned to George and instructed him to go after the Lords. He chased after them.
George talked to them. The Lords bowed and left in high spirits.
“Lady Tristana, I asked them to wait at the entrance of the black market,” said George, reappearing at their sides. “I also told them that if they don’t see us at the entrance by night, they can find us at the Lavender Manor.”
The Lords valued profit. If someone showed an interest in buying those useless weapons, they wouldn’t let the chance slip by.
Other shops wouldn’t want their wares because of the condition they were in. So, they would wait for them to sell their wares, no matter what.
Xu Yuan looked at George in admiration. George knew how the Lords functioned.
Xu Yuan was deep in thought. ‘A branch which held even darker energy than the Dark Withered Tree… where had it come from?’
The middle-aged man found them again and apologized profusely. Su Wan told him it was alright and followed him to the second floor.
It was better to check out the armors first and then meet the Lords.
They all made their way to the second floor. There were fewer people on that floor.
The way in which these people were dressed was clear to show that they were rich and probably belonged to noble families.
The middle-aged man led the group to an open pantry in the hall. They sat down at the table and were served tea.
The middle-aged man whispered to another staff member. The staff returned with catalogs.
“These are the armors that we haven’t sold yet. They are all S-class.”
Su Wan and Xu Yuan took a catalog each and opened them. The armor’s pictures, attributes, and characteristics were all recorded in the catalog.
There were more than 50 types of armor in the catalog. The attributes for each were all outstanding!
Xu Yuan didn’t find any of them to be worth his interest, so he handed his catalog to Su Wan and let her choose what she liked.
Su Wan found something she liked.
[Bloodthirsty Armor]
[Level: S-class]
[Characteristic: Bloodthirsty. Every time you kill an enemy, you can turn their blood into energy to recover your strength. You can also control the blood energy to repair your armor.]
[Abilities]
[Boiling Blood Qi: Able to cast powerful Blood Qi on the armor, increasing its defense by 500%. Duration: 20 minutes. Cooldown time: 1 day.]
[Fight Bravely: immediately remove all control skills and magic on your body. Cooldown time:30 minutes.]
[Note: The masterpiece of a Forge Master of the Beast Clan. Possesses powerful defense and brute strength.]
Su Wan liked the armor. “How much is the Bloodthirsty Armor?”
“The Bloodthirsty Armor is currently priced at 2 million rare resources.”
‘Two million rare resources?!’ This was the first time Su Wan had heard of such exorbitant prices.
Even if the whole territory went without food and enmities for a whole year, they might not be able to save that much!
The middle-aged man noticed her surprise. “The armors have significantly higher and better attributes than weapons and shields, so they are priced higher,” he said hurriedly. “The attributes on this armor have been tested in actual combat. It is a little pricey, but the armor is definitely worth it. Alternatively, you can also use treasure of the same level to exchange for it. If the value of the treasure is not enough, you can always top up with something else.”
Su Wan nodded. She suddenly remembered that she had something of remarkable value.
She took out a special treasure from the system space.
[Broken Lake]
[Characteristic: Can summon a lake that will never dry up and float in the sky.]
[Note: A treasure with magical power.]
She had obtained the treasure a while ago. Perhaps it could be used to exchange for the armor..
