Ice Break Sword, a level four middle-rank enchanted sword. It improved the balance of the sword and added ice and acid damage. Jacob had spent almost ten thousand Quintal to buy this sword. However, in the last battle, he did not even have the chance to draw out this sword!
Lucien took the sword from Jacob's waist and shook his head. Looking at the blue-green sword, Lucien put it into his storage bag together with the Demon Soul armor, the Retribution ring that could release lightning three times a day, and the gold coins and gems that were worth forty Quintal.
Lucien did not know how many nobles and merchants Jacob had robbed and killed, and how many smuggling businesses he had done. However, Lucien was not going to use them, because some nobles in Schachran Empire might recognize Jacob's belongings, and that would bring him a lot of trouble. Therefore, Lucien decided to give them to Leo and let him exchange them together with Warren's low-rank items for gold coins. After that, Lucien could secretly buy some magic swords that were useful to him.
As for the unicorn necklace, Lucien was still wearing Sun's Corona, so he decided to let Leo wear the unicorn necklace for the time being, in case Leo would be controlled when he was doing business in Schachran Empire.
After looting all the treasures, Lucien felt much better. He put the crystal ball back into his coat pocket. Many spells in the school of Astrology still required the help of the crystal ball. For example, Maskelyne's Star was the most typical example. Other schools of Astrology also had similar situations. Building a spell model in one's soul did not necessarily mean that one did not need a casting medium.
Magic waves flashed, and Lucien's body quickly disappeared, leaving Warren's villa quietly.
…
In the basement of an ordinary house, one of Leo's secret hideouts.
"Mr. Peter, the news of Jacob's death has caused a great sensation in the city. Many lords are fighting each other to divide his manor, land, mines, and smuggling warehouses. It's said that the dispute has reached the Lord's Council. Some ancient sorcerers living in seclusion even came here, hoping that they could share the wealth by joining the Lord's Council. "Even though there were no outsiders, Leo still called Lucien by his pseudonym seriously.
Lucien was a bit surprised, "Does Jacob have so much wealth? But why does he have so few magic items? "
Leo answered like a real steward, "Because he has to give most of the income outside the manor to the nine city lords, and he also needs Moonlight Stone, Werewolf Blood, and other materials to improve his bloodline. Also, to maintain his luxurious lifestyle, the money he can use to buy magic items is less than one-tenth of his total income."
"Also, the higher level a magic item is, the rarer it is. The East Haven only had a few high-level magic items, and they were all taken by the nine city lords. Level 4 or 5 magic items are not common either, and it's even harder to find one that suits you. After Jacob reached level 4 ten years ago, it took him a few years to collect a level 4 longsword, a set of armor, and a mid-ranked magic ring for long-range attacks that he was satisfied with. "
Lucien nodded. This was one of the benefits of joining the Congress of Magic and the Will of Elements. Even if he had enough money, he would still be able to buy the magic equipment that was suitable for him. Both the exchange zone of the Congress of Magic and the demiplane warehouse of the Will of Elements were dazzling. Lucien could not make up his mind about what he was looking for.
"How did the nine city lords react?" Lucien wanted to know more about this.
Leo, who had disguised himself as an old man, shook his head, "Mr. Peter, no one knows what happened in the city lord's meeting, but the owner of Taran Tavern told me that the city lord's men only came to ask about the conflict between Warren and someone in the tavern once. After that, there was no similar investigation, and there was no arrest order or mission. The lords who were fighting for Jacob's legacy claimed that Jacob and Warren offended some big shots in the Congress of Magic, and they were killed easily. So, it's totally within the rules of the East Haven. "
"Anyway, let's wait for a few more days and make sure that no one is after us before we enter the Schachran Empire." Lucien nodded slightly, "In the meantime, please sell the few magic items secretly, and then buy a level four or five magic longsword."
"Mr. Peter, you'll lose at least twenty percent if you sell them in a hurry. Also, level four or five magic longswords are rarely seen. If you want to buy one in a short time, you won't be satisfied with it." Leo did not hide the fact that Lucien did not want to.
Lucien pushed his monocle slightly and smiled, "It's okay. This magic longsword is only for temporary use. The only requirement is that it doesn't have any requirements on strength, agility, or willpower."
Lucien wanted to avoid using magic when he was traveling in the Schachran Empire. Therefore, a powerful magic longsword that could effectively improve his power as a Knight was very important. As for the fact that the longsword was not suitable for him, he did not need to worry about it. After all, he would sell the longsword for arcana points when he returned to Allyn and use them to buy magic materials, potions, and other suitable magic items.
"As you wish." Leo bowed and left politely after receiving Lucien's confirmation.
…
A few days later, in the evening, Leo came back with a longsword inlaid with rubies, which was as "flashy" as the Vigilant longsword.
"Mr. Peter, this is a level four magic longsword that you want. It's worth twenty-three thousand Quintal. After selling the Ice Break sword, the Demon's Soul armor, and the Ring of Punishment, there's only a small part of the gold and gems left. It's worth about a hundred and sixty Quintal. " Leo handed the longsword wrapped in the scabbard to Lucien, and he also took out the video of the sale and other evidence to show that he did not make any profit from it.
Lucien drew out the longsword. The shining metallic luster of the longsword carried a hint of coldness. The design of the longsword was completely different from the scabbard, which was simple and elegant. The only difference was that the handle of the longsword was exquisitely carved and covered with complicated patterns, like a beautiful silver flower blooming in the frost.
According to the method taught by Natasha, Lucien left his own scent on the longsword very easily. Lucien also got a message from the dwarven craftsman when he was forging the longsword.
"Frost, level four magic longsword, made of the special Green Ice deep in the north. Whoever is hit by it will be hurt by the coldness and slow down."
"Everybody likes it when the enemy is fighting with them slower and slower! — Adolan Copper Hammer. "
The greatest value of this longsword was its slowing effect, and nothing else was outstanding. For Jacob, because he already had the Dark Weakening Aura, this longsword was meaningless. He might as well choose the Icebreak Sword, which added more balance and strong corrosive damage.
Lucien wielded the longsword for a few times and felt that it was as powerful as a level four Knight's attack. Then he put the longsword back and put it on the left and the right side of the sword.
As for the evidence that Leo submitted, Lucien did not even take a look at it and directly destroyed it, "I trust you, Leo. As a sorcerer, I can also evaluate the value of the longsword. Is there any change outside? "
Leo was a bit excited by Lucien's trust, "Mr. Peter, according to the information we got from Mr. Valentin and the owner of Taran Tavern, the nine city lords have acquiesced in the lord's meeting to let the lords take Jacob's legacy. They also said that they would not mention it again because of Warren's revenge."
"The nine city lords of the East Haven are indeed in touch with the Congress of Magic." Lucien thought to himself. After all, to keep the East Haven as a neutral place, even if they were not on the side of the Congress of Magic and often took advantage of Schachran Empire's power balance, there were still many opportunities for them to secretly communicate with the Congress of Magic.
Thinking of this, Lucien stood up, "Leo, there's no moon tonight. Let's go now."
… …
In the cover of the night, the magnificent Burning Flame Fortress was like a dragon entrenched at the mountain pass, completely blocking the way to and fro. The rest of the place was a black coniferous forest with all kinds of ferocious monsters and steep snow cliffs that were difficult to climb.
However, in the pitch-black sky, Lucien and Leo flew quietly, as if they had merged into the darkness.
According to the information, Lucien avoided several alert magic circles and the patrolling routes of the divine airships and flew over the fortress easily. They did not land until they were close to a small town in the Schachran Empire.
The sky was so vast that it could not be blocked without special magic and divine spells. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
