At this moment, blacksmith grandmaster Magni Hearthfire received the mithril and ruby from Sheyan. He immediately exclaimed in astonishment.
"This is a magical mithril! Its market price is twice that of ordinary mithril. Hey, old man, don't you think this ruby looks familiar? "
The old dwarf Tecklin Tinsel immediately scampered over. His white beard and braids were almost touching the ground.
"Why do I feel like this is that plaything? The Tears of Elendil? "
Everyone gasped in astonishment. Sheyan instantly sensed that something was amiss. It seemed like Saruman had committed many atrocious deeds in the past to plunder and amass such riches. Unfortunately, the fame of these riches was rather high. But that didn't matter to him. At worst, he could just push all the blame onto the Overgod … ….
Thus, Sheyan calmly continued.
"If there's nothing else, I am willing to sell these items to you at cost price. Consider it a gift of friendship to Segimli. Oh, by the way, since I've proven that this matter isn't a despicable scam, can you return the twilight elf's crown to me?"
"No problem, no problem." Old Segimli cheerfully replied. It seemed like he didn't reject the idea of purchasing stolen goods. He first allowed Segimli to return the twilight elf's crown to Sheyan. Then, he retrieved a wooden box and retrieved a ring for Sheyan.
After Sheyan received the ring, it was immediately displayed as a storyline equipment that could only be worn by storyline characters. Of course, this was because the mithril and other items that were exchanged were all owned by Melody.
The name of the ring was' Lacerate '. The attributes displayed before Sheyan was that spatial magic was increased by 10% and energy consumption was increased by 5%.
Then, Old Segimli instructed his underling to hand over a magic staff that seemed to be on the verge of breaking, hoping that Sheyan would help him sacrifice it. After a slight hesitation, Sheyan called over Elder Desirese Roots, who was an expert in this field. Sheyan observed the elder staring blankly at the magic staff. He was so excited that he couldn't even speak. Sheyan instantly knew what he had to do...
The final outcome of the trade was that Sheyan was left with an entire 8 pounds of mithril, 1 pound and a half of adamantine, as well as the remaining rubies, opal and sapphires. He managed to exchange for a total of 6 spatial magic related equipments!
Honestly speaking, Sheyan didn't gain any advantages in this transaction. Instead, he suffered a slight loss. But even under such circumstances, the interspatial equipment brought by the dwarves had been plundered clean. The members of the Gimli clan could only sigh deeply when they saw Sheyan's dissatisfied expression.
Truthfully speaking, the mithril and adamantine resources they obtained from the trade were sufficient for them to craft incomparably exquisite equipments. They would definitely be in the limelight during the Shari-Arakat Grand Assembly, and maintain their current status.
However, the human heart was forever insatiable. There was a saying, 'Insatiable greed'. The dwarves of the Segimli clan were the same. Now that they had found a way to obtain large amounts of mithril, adamantine and precious gems, they naturally wished to enter the top 3, and even covet the throne of first place!
Therefore, Old Segimli decisively requested Sheyan to wait for a period of time. During this period, he mustn't engage in similar trades with others. In return, they would give Sheyan an unexpected surprise.
Sheyan purposely hesitated for a long while, before finally nodding his head under the longing and tearful gaze of the dwarf. The entire upper echelon of the Segimli clan instantly fled like a wisp of smoke. They were probably rushing to the nearest dwarven city to request for reinforcements, while contacting their clansmen to continue delivering goods.
Furthermore, they left behind 30 elite dwarven warriors to listen to Sheyan's commands. They claimed that they were protecting Sheyan, a human who had obtained the eternal friendship of the Segimli clan.
After experimenting a few times, Sheyan discovered that these elite dwarven warriors were indeed obedient to his commands. They carried out his orders without any hesitation. However, Sheyan clearly understood that if an emissary of another dwarven clan were to step into his tent, these elite dwarven warriors of the Gimli clan would definitely do two things – smash the head of that emissary, or smash the head of his supplier … …. Sheyan clearly understood that if an emissary of another dwarven clan were to step into his tent, these elite dwarven warriors of the Gimli clan would definitely do two things – smash the head of that emissary, or smash the head of the supplier … …
With the sudden addition of 6 interspatial magic equipments, Sheyan gathered all the elves and ordered with a solemn expression.
"What I'm about to say is extremely important. Not only does it concern your life and death, it also concerns the life and death of the twilight elves! Therefore, I don't wish for anyone to tell me false information …... now, those among you who possess spatial magic, please step forward. "
Without a doubt, Elder Desirese Roots stepped forward. The situation was much better than Sheyan had imagined. Apart from Desirese Roots, there were 4 other elves who were proficient in spatial magic. One had to admit that the elves' long lifespan was indeed an advantage, allowing them to cultivate a wide range of interests and hobbies.
Sheyan then called them together and spoke.
"The Overgod had once dispatched me to other realms for adventure. In one of those realms, I met an exceedingly powerful friend. He bestowed me with a gift that carried a strand of his soul aura. Are you able to utilize this strand of soul aura to allow me to communicate with my friend?"
Sheyan swiftly received a reply. A relatively young elf replied.
"Your Excellency Guardian, this isn't difficult. In fact, the creatures summoned by the Summoning Spell are all summoned from other planes. If we can't communicate with them in advance, the success rate of the Summoning Spell will be shockingly low."
Sheyan coughed and continued.
"I have to clarify that my friend is exceedingly powerful."
"That is even better news sire." The fairy patiently added, "Powerful lifeforms tend to have high intelligence, which makes it easier to communicate with them. The more powerful the lifeform we're looking for, the more obvious its soul light will be, and the easier it will be for us to find it in the vast Dimensional Space.
Sheyan stroked his gun 'Ambition' and replied.
"Then, we have to first find a place with water. Only after coming into contact with a water source, will my friend's soul aura become exceptionally prominent."

After searching for a while, the party proceeded forward and arrived at the orc metropolis of the past.
This grand metropolis had already turned into utter ruins. However, from the extent of destruction, one could tell how intense the battle was! Especially the surroundings of Saruman's Wizard Tower, it had completely sunk into the ground. That once sacred place in the hearts of the orcs and uruk-hais, had now transformed into a deep lake with a radius of a mile.
Sheyan approached the lake and observed. The pitch-black lake water seemed to have swallowed all sunlight into its bottomless depths. Evidently, this lake was exceedingly deep.
Since they had found a sufficiently large water source, Sheyan decided to immerse 'Ambition' in the water. Instead, Elder Annenia Cyathea suddenly aimed his magic staff at Sheyan. Rays of light shot out from the staff towards the lake on Sheyan's left.
Incomparably incisive silver rays shot out consecutively. Suddenly, a loud splashing sound reverberated from the surface of the lake, as white waves splashed several metres high. The dark green lake water was instantly dyed with a faint reddish hue. A 2-metre long fish-like monster could be seen rolling and fleeing from the lake. A terrifying half-metre long wound had appeared on its left rib, as its crimson innards spilled out. The stench of blood incited its other clansmen to scramble for food. The situation was extremely chaotic, as though a pot of boiling porridge had formed on the tranquil surface of the lake!
Witnessing such a scene, the other elves also raised their longbows. They focused, took aim, and released their arrows ferociously! Torrents of arrows dragged long trails of death as they plunged into the lake, killing numerous aquatic monsters.
"These aquatic monsters are formed from the leakage of sinister and mysterious dark magic." Annenia Cyathea explained. "Years ago, when we were about to invade this dark magic tower, the master of the tower directly detonated this powerful structure. The result was this lake that we see now. Any creature that lives in this lake will undergo a terrifying mutation."
These aquatic monsters were still extremely ferocious after being slaughtered by the elves, as they scrambled for food. However, after Sheyan immersed 'Ambition' in the water, they vanished like a wisp of smoke. When the body of the Kraken Paul was formed from the massive water body, and that powerful and transparent illusion reappeared, the lake was completely silent. Only the distinct and astonished breaths of the surrounding elves could be heard.
Sheyan glanced towards the elven wizard who felt that it was' very simple 'and signalled.
"You may begin. My time is precious."
The elven wizard suddenly knelt down with a look of desperation.
"My apologies, Protector. I didn't expect your friend to be so powerful. My qualifications to communicate with such a powerful creature are extremely limited. Rash contact may even cause my soul to be severely damaged!"
