487 Chapter 365: Blessing of the Goddess of Victory
The branch was mixed with a pile of broken things and did not stand out.
One would not take it seriously if one did not frequently contact the god's ancient tree, although the aura was special.
At most, it was just a piece of trash stained with an undead aura.
He watched as the few players packed their things and prepared to leave.
Richard looked at Rebecca.
He stepped closer to the Ice Empire lady, turned his body slightly, and whispered in her ear.
"Rebecca, help me keep those grace mainland overlords. They have something I need."
Rebecca felt a scorching aura reach her ears, and an unnatural blush appeared on her face.
She turned around and looked at Butler Kent. She pretended to be calm.
Butler Kent immediately stepped out and caught up with the cursing players after she gave a few instructions.
The players became excited after they chatted for a while. They bowed to Butler Kent and left happily.
Butler Kent returned after a while.
"I have arranged it, Lady Rebecca. I told them to wait for us outside the Black Market. They could come to the Violet Manor and find us tonight if they can't wait. I've also asked for their addresses.
"The grace mainland overlords values profit the most. I promised to buy it at a high price. They won't miss it.
Other chambers of commerce won't give the price I offered. They won't sell it unless they talk to us after the agreement raised their psychological expectations.
Richard chuckled.
Butler Kent had a good grasp of the players' mentality.
He didn't know if he could get extra gains.
He followed the middle-aged man who incessantly apologized to him to the second floor.
He had to get Xina's armor first.
He went up to the second floor.
He could distinctly feel fewer people here than on the first floor.
Correspondingly, the dress and temperament of these people also gave people a feeling of being rich and noble.
The middle-aged man led them to an open-style tea room in the hall.
Richard sat, and a maid immediately served him some hot tea.
The middle-aged man whispered a few words to the staff member next to him, and the staff member soon returned with an exquisitely made booklet.
"My Lord, these are the armors we have received recently. They are all treasures of 4-stars and above."
Richard took it and flipped through it.
It recorded the style of the armor and various attribute skills.
Everybody knew that the Solan Chamber of Commerce was indeed rich.
More than 50 armors in the booklet, and all have outstanding attributes.
Richard handed it to Xina, which signaled her to choose.
Xina found something she was interested in after a short while.
[Bloodthirsty Armor]
[Level: 5-stars]
[Special Property: 1. Bloodlust: Each time you kill an enemy, you can turn their blood into energy to recover your strength. At the same time, you can control the blood energy to repair your armor.]
[2. Boiling Blood: Able to cast a powerful Blood Qi on the armor which increases its defense by 500%. Duration: 20 minutes. Cooldown Time: 1 day]
[3. Fight Heroically. Immediately removes all control skills and spells on the user. Cooldown Time: 30 minutes.]
[Description: The masterpiece of a master blacksmith of the beast clan. It has a strong defense and brute strength.]
These skills were very suitable for Xina's attributes.
It pleased Richard.
"How much is this 5-star armor?"
"My Lord, the Bloodlust Armor is sold for 2,000,000 rare resources.
"Two million units of rare resources?
"The price... A sky-high price!"
It was also the first time he knew that 5-stars treasures were so expensive in the hands of the natives.
It would take at least three to five months to accumulate money for Twilight City, even if they did not eat or drink.
The middle-aged man seemed to have noticed his difference and quickly explained.
"The 5-stars armor is more arduous than ordinary weapons. So the price will be relatively higher.
"In addition, the attributes of this armor are outstanding. Although the price is high, you will not suffer a loss.
"You can also use treasures of the same level to exchange for them. You just need to make up for the difference if the value provided is not enough."
Richard nodded.
He seemed to have thought of something after he pondered.
He took out a special treasure from the system space.
[Broken Lake]
[Level: 4-stars]
[Property: Can summon a lake with a diameter of 5,000 meters and a depth of 100 meters that can float in the sky.]
[Description: A treasure with magical powers.]
He obtained this treasure in the land of broken laws. He had once seen countless lakes that floated in the sky, and that magnificent scenery was still in front of his eyes.
It was a pity the Twilight City was a desert. There was only one piece of land. He suspected that it would dry up one day without a water supply.
He placed the damaged lake on the table, explained its function, and finally asked.
"How many resources can such a treasure be exchanged for in the Solan Chamber of Commerce?"
The middle-aged man was quite surprised.
"This treasure could sell for millions of rare resources if it is as you've described."
Richard was pleasantly surprised.
One can sell it for four million rare resources.
The middle-aged man looked at Richard and explained with a smile.
"Some great nobles will be interested in it, and there are also lords living by the lake who will use it to make a war fortress…"
Richard thought back to the land of the broken laws. The murlocs had been shooting at them from the lake in the sky.
The lake water was a natural city wall. It was a floating fortress of strategic value.
He turned to look at Rebecca, and before he could even say anything, the lady seemed to know what he wanted.
She said softly.
"This price is very fair."
It relieved Richard when he heard that.
However, there was still a significant gap even though the treasure cost a million rare resources.
He only had around 20 rare resources left.
Richard slowly took out the second treasure from the system space after he pondered.
Legendary treasure–victory gem.
He opened the chest and got this legendary treasure after he became the final victor in the death arena fighting ring.
The two characteristics of this gem left a deep impression on him.
[1. The person who holds the victory gem will bring endless hope to his subordinates. They would follow him unshakably, even if the enemy defeated them to the point of being a soldier. And they will never betray him or give up.]
[2. Immune to all spells that shake and lower the morale of the troop. One can cast a purification spell to remove the adverse effects of the evil camp every half an hour.
[Description: This is a treasure used by the goddess of victory to reward her loyal believers. The goddess of victory will grant blessings if embedded in strategic equipment.]
The skill was supremely soul-crushing, but the only drawback was that Richard could not use it in Twilight City.
Therefore, the moment he got his hands on it, he thought of coming to Solan City to see if he could find another place to sell it.
The Solan Chamber of Commerce seemed to be a good choice.
Rebecca's face fell when she saw Richard take out the victory gemstone.
She subconsciously exclaimed.
"Victory..."
She stopped mid-sentence when she realized what was going on.
However, the disbelief and surprise in her eyes were so distinct.
She reached out and pressed down on the gem in his hand as she seriously spoke.
"I'll help you make up for the resources you lack. There's no need to sell this treasure."
Richard was about to say something but quickly put the victory gem back into the system space when he saw the lady's burning eyes.
"In that case, I'll have to trouble you."
Rebecca took a deep breath and told him not to be polite.
Richard had to spend all his money before he could get the 5-stars equipment. Even after he sold the broken lane with Rebecca's help.
He felt a little emotional., He only had a few ideas when he used his points to exchange for treasures of this level in the instance dungeon.
He finally understood the benefits contained in this after his interaction with the natives.
They delivered the dark red Bloodlust Armor to Richard after he paid.
He didn't talk nonsense. He asked Xina to change into the changing room.
Xina returned a moment later. She dressed neatly.
There was no such thing as whether it fits or not because this set of armor could automatically adjust according to the body size.
The cold and dark red metal exterior made Xina appear heroic.
Xina loved the suit of armor. And her eyes were red with tears as she looked at Richard.
Five-stars War Dragon Longsword, 5-stars Bloodthirst Armor.
The equipment on Xina's body was finally complete.
This brave Beyond A-rank warrior would shine even brighter in the future.
Richard looked forward to seeing what kind of expression the enemy would have on their face when they faced this warrior.
He was satisfied afterward.
He did not stay any longer and left the Solan Chamber of Commerce.
After walking for a short distance, Rebecca could no longer suppress her emotions and asked in a low voice after they walked from a distance.
"Lord Richard, is that the victory gemstone in your hand?"
Richard looked at the lady curiously.
He had been observing the other party's reaction.
"Was this gemstone that famous?"
"That's right. I obtained this by accident. Its attributes are not bad, but it shouldn't be enough to surprise you like this, right?"
It was something he couldn't understand. The eldest daughter of the Grand Duke was not someone who had not seen the world.
The gem shouldn't be that big of a deal, even if it were legendary.
Rebecca was both surprised and delighted when she received an affirmative answer.
"Surprised?"
"No, Lord Richard, I can't describe it as a surprise. It's a victory gem!"
Richard couldn't understand.
"So what if it's the victory gem?"
Rebecca was about to go crazy, and she excitedly said in a low voice.
"The victory gem... It can summon the goddess of victory!"
"The goddess can even personally bless the equipment after one has embedded the gemstone on the equipment!!
Her words shocked Richard.
"Was the treasure from the rainbow treasure chest that amazing?"
He wondered how it became legendary with only two characteristics.
It turned out that there was such a secret.
Instantly, his thoughts started to wander... There seemed room for manipulation.
