Chapter 803: One Billion Faris, Upgrade Ji Got It!

It was normal for the goddess Ishtar to react so excitedly, because when she handed the necklace to Aisha, she was stunned on the spot after seeing the properties of the necklace.

『Necklace of the King of the Fomor Tribe』

It is the necklace of Balor, the king of the Fomor Tribe and the evil god in Celtic mythology. It is the oldest symbol of the king's identity.

Skill: Power of Fomor

The wearer of this necklace who uses skills can gain divine power, enlarge the body, and increase the level by one level regardless of the level limit.

The effect lasts for one hour, without any side effects, and the cooldown time is one day.

That's right, the bone necklace that Wood took out was actually the equipment that dropped with the magic crystal when Balor was killed.

Previously, Wood was indignant because he didn't drop the "magic eye" or other awesome props when he first killed Balor, but dropped a broken necklace.

But a few days ago, after being identified by Aegina, Wood found that the rag he had always thought was actually a very rare and top-quality equipment.

Wood still remembers how wonderful Aegina's expression was when he saw the simple and crude effect of this necklace.

According to the evaluation of the guild at that time, the value of this necklace was estimated to be about 500 million faris, and even if it was put on the auction, it might be sold at a higher price.

Compared with this "Fomor King Necklace", the "Goblin Crown" that Wood had obtained from the enhanced Goblin King before was simply garbage among garbage.

"This necklace is actually the equipment dropped by Barol, the floor master of the 49th floor of the dungeon when I killed him.

As for the value... Miss Aegina of the guild also said that if it is sold to Freya's followers, even if it is 1 billion faris, the other party should not refuse.

And now I am willing to take this "Fomor King Necklace", plus my previous conditions, just to exchange for that fox-eared girl, I wonder what Lady Ishtar thinks?"

Hearing that Wood really planned to use this necklace as a bargaining chip to exchange for Haruhime, rather than just borrowing it, Ishtar was instantly moved.

However, as a god who has lived for hundreds of millions of years, Ishtar is not a fool.

The Great Sage is so smart, but he is willing to do such a losing deal now. Either he has other intentions, or the value of Chun Ji itself is higher than the conditions proposed by Wood!

Seeing that Ishtar not only did not agree immediately because of excitement, but even showed hesitation, Wood also sighed secretly that these gods who have lived for hundreds of millions of years are indeed not easy to fool.

Even Ishtar, who is more impulsive and less skilled than Freya, was not fooled by his few words at this moment.

"By proposing such a deal, Ishtar probably thinks that I, who made such a loss-making deal, either have other intentions, or that the fox-eared girl has higher value.

However, I just want to say that Ishtar is really thinking too much. Freya's followers are our common enemies. Since our followers hope that Ishtar's followers can defeat Freya's followers, they will naturally provide some help.

And there is one more thing I need to explain. Ishtar's original intention should be to let me teach your followers the magic of Phryne so that she can upgrade to LV6, right?

However, unfortunately, Ishtar's calculations on this point are likely to fail."

Looking at Ishtar's puzzled expression, Wood could only continue to speak: "Indeed, what I have mastered The magic system has a very low learning threshold, and basically any adventurer can learn it.

But if you want to learn the magic I master, in addition to having magic power, personal talent is also very important.

Magic is a very complicated course. Let’s not talk about the operation and application of magic power for now, and some simple calculations are also required.

And the previous "man killer", does Lady Ishtar think he has the qualifications to master magic?

Even if he barely learns some low-level magic, it will be useless if he can be an opponent of Freya's followers, right? "

When Ishtar heard that the magic system mastered by Wood required complex calculations and magic manipulation and other conditions, she understood that there was no possibility for Freni to learn magic.

Just kidding, that big fool has only brute force, and there are only a few things left in his brain, probably just men.

For him to learn the use and calculation of magic power, the difficulty is not much different from teaching a pig magic.

The outside world says that the magic system mastered by Wood has a low threshold, but now in Ishtar's view, this is only relative.

Although the magic system that Wood mastered allowed some adventurers to learn magic, not everyone has such talent.

"Since you also know that this kind of business, you Hestia followers are completely the losers, then I am quite curious, why do you still choose to do this?

The power of your necklace is almost the same as Chun Ji's "Treasure Hammer", and the effect is even stronger. Why do you choose to use the necklace to exchange people?

Just because we have a common enemy, I don't think it should be that simple?"

To be honest, after learning that Phryne could not learn Wood's magic, Ishtar had already planned to agree to Wood's deal.

The effect of the "Fomore King Necklace" is stronger than Chun Ji's "Treasure Hammer", and the difference between one hour and fifteen minutes is really too big.

Coupled with Wood's magic and dungeon information, such generous conditions, Ishtar really couldn't find a reason to refuse.

Apart from the magic of "Treasure Hammer", Chun Ji has basically no value in other aspects among her Ishtar followers.

Beautiful and in good shape? Just kidding, her Ishtar followers are all combat whores, so there will be a lack of such characters.

Besides, Ishtar knows that Chun Ji is a combat whore, and she is a pure money-loser.

Every time she sees a naked man, she will faint on the spot. In the end, it is Aisha who helps her receive guests. Only she thinks she is "battle-hardened", but unfortunately she is still a virgin.

Ishtar, who has already planned to agree to the deal, is now curious about the reason why Wood insists on taking Chun Ji away.

"Since it is a transaction, there will be gains and losses, so we can't let you, Lord Ishtar, take advantage of us.

The effect of the 'Treasure Hammer' may not be as strong as the 'Fomore King Necklace', but it is also a powerful ability, isn't it?"

After Wood finished speaking, he looked at the fox-eared girl in the cage not far away and continued: "As for the other reason, it is because of the clear eyes of this child.

From her eyes, I can see that she yearns for freedom more, but now she is bound in an iron cage.

The aura she exudes is also incompatible with the environment here, and if there is a chance, let me be the knight who saves the princess in the fairy tale."

Wood didn't know about Chun Ji's affairs and experiences, but he had traveled through many worlds and could be regarded as having seen countless people.

The first time Wood saw Chun Ji, he already understood that she was different from other fighting prostitutes in Happy Street.

Compared to other Ishtar followers who enjoyed this place, this place was more like a huge cage for the fox-eared girl.

When hearing what Wood said, not only Ishtar was stunned, but even Aisha beside her and Chunji in the cage looked at Wood with a confused look.

Let’s not talk about Aisha for now. At this moment, Chunji held the iron cage tightly with both hands, and her face was already full of tears.

She had completely lost hope for the future, and she never thought that one day she would be saved, and the prince in the fairy tale actually appeared in front of her!

“Now I understand why Freya, that slut, is so obsessed with you.

Although I don’t have eyes like her that can see into other people’s souls, I can now feel that your soul radiance is extremely beautiful and moving at this moment.

I will take this necklace away, and I will cancel the contract with Chunji. She was bought to Orario as a slave. After the slave contract, I will let Aisha give it to you.”

Ishtar turned and left, but her words also meant that Wood’s negotiation was successful.

Walking to the iron cage where the fox-eared girl was locked up, Wood simply slashed the air with his hand knife, and with a series of ding-ling and dang-dang sounds, the iron cage where Chun Ji was locked up seemed to have been split open.

"I'm sorry, I didn't seem to ask for your opinion just now. Do you plan to stay here or go with us?

If you want to stay here, I will explain to Lady Ishtar. If you want to leave and don't want to join our family, I can also give you freedom."

Looking at Wood's outstretched hand, Chun Ji looked at Wood with a shy expression, and then quickly showed a firm expression on her face and said: "I want to go with the prince!"

"Prince..., that, I'm not a prince, just the son of a tavern owner, I don't have such a prominent background.

If you don't mind, just call me Wood."

Hearing Wood's words, Chun Ji also blushed, because she didn't know the other party's name, so she accidentally called out her delusional role of Wood.

"Then Lord Wood, please give me more advice in the future. I want to join your family."

Haruhime didn't hesitate much for Wood, who appeared in front of her like a savior.

Not to mention Wood's previous operation, he has already gained a lot of favorability from Haruhime. Even if Wood sets her free, it will be difficult for a weak woman like her to survive in Orario.

"'Great Sage', this is Haruhime's slave contract, and I am very grateful that you can save Haruhime.

As you said before, this child is not suitable to stay in our family. She is different from us. Instead of staying here as a tool, if she stays with you, maybe she can find the meaning of life again."

Haruhime is a fox girl from the Far East, and she is also a noble. Her father is an official serving the goddess Amaterasu who reigns over the Far East.

The reason why she fell to this point is that she was framed by the dwarfs at the age of 11, and was eventually driven out of the house by her furious father.

Later, when the Orcs attacked, the Dwarfs abandoned Haruhime as a burden. The Orcs were killed by passing thieves, and after discovering that Haruhime was a virgin, they sold her to Orario as a slave.

Although she is only 16 years old now, Haruhime's experience in the past few years is extremely rough.

It is also because of her extremely rough fate that Haruhime admires the various famous "hero stories" in Orario.

Part of the reason why Wood was able to directly gain such a high favorability from Haruhime was because of what he just said, and another reason was that Haruhime replaced Wood, who saved her, as her "hero".

In the heroic story she liked, the hero who saved the heroine was actually a prince of a country.

Because she was worried that Wood and others would discriminate against Haruhime because of her identity as a fighting prostitute, Aisha also revealed the secret that Haruhime was still a virgin.

Since Haruhime would faint as long as she saw a man naked (especially seeing the collarbone), causing the male guests to lose interest, Aisha would always take over, so Haruhime knew nothing about this.

She even thought that she was a qualified fighting prostitute, and every time she did that kind of thing, she would fall into a coma...

Aisha had always taken good care of Haruhime and had also thought about helping her, but unfortunately she was just a cadre among the retainers and did not have such ability.

When Chun Ji learned from Aisha that she was still a virgin after being a battle whore for so long, she was briefly shocked for a while, but was soon replaced by surprise.

If she was not clean, then she was obviously not worthy of the prince, but now...

Having accomplished their goal, Wood and his party finally left Happy Street accompanied by Aisha.

Before leaving, Aisha was not only happy for Chun Ji, but also teased the fox-eared girl with a playful look on her face: "Chun Ji, you must serve your master well in the future.

Now there should be few people in the whole of Orario who are worth more than you.

Do you know how much the necklace that the "Great Sage" used to exchange for you is worth? It's a full 10 billion fares.

I'm afraid that all the battle whores of our Ishtar family are not as valuable as you alone."

Although Chun Ji knew that Wood had made a certain deal with Lord Ishtar in order to save herself.

But she really didn't expect that the necklace that Wood used to exchange for her was actually worth a full 10 billion fares!

Such an outrageous amount of money instantly made the fox-eared girl, who was just overjoyed at being rescued, feel a little uneasy and inferior.

"Lord Wood, is it really worth it for you to spend such a huge price to save a useless person like me?"

This is a full 10 billion faris! Many small and medium-sized followers of Orario would probably not be able to raise so much money even if they sold their belongings.

If calculated based on the overnight fees of the battle prostitutes of their Ishtar followers, 10 billion faris could even be enough to sleep in Happy Street for nearly a hundred years!
