Chapter 393 - A Runes Secret Code (1/2)

“Of course the power comes from the equipment.” Ou Yangming smiled. He looked around with bright eyes and added, “But you probably know it’s not easy to smith magic tools, so it’s even harder to attach these unique powers on them.” The other people looked at each other strangely.

It sounded right because the smithing of magic tools was indeed not a simple task. Apart from Ou Yangming, it seemed like n.o.body else in the world could do it with ease.

Nonetheless, when they thought about how Ou Yangming easily smithed more than 20 magic tools in his carriage during their journey here, they could not agree with the statement.

A thing would be easy for one who could do it but difficult for those who could not. In this case, the smithing of magic tools would not be much harder for Ou Yangming than the smithing of ordinary pieces of equipment.

Even so, the other powerhouses kept the thought to themselves as they dared not say it out loud.

Bai s.h.i.+xue chuckled. “It’s naturally difficult to smith magic tools. If they’re also attached with unique skills… Brother Ou, how many of these can you smith?”

“I can only promise to try my best, but I can’t guarantee the amount.” Ou Yangming smiled bitterly. He looked at the others and said, “Besides, everyone’s talent and strongest ability are different, so the same equipment won’t be suitable for everyone.”

“You’re right. These two skills are powerful, but they’re not what I want,” Wu Hanning expressed and asked after a pause, “What do you want us to do?”

“I’m aware that your clans have inherited lost arts, which can either activate your potentials or drastically increase your strengths in an instant.” Ou Yangming nodded and raised a finger as he continued, “I promise to smith a piece of equipment for everyone, and I’ll try my best to attach attributes on them according to your requests, but I need your cooperation.”

Woo Lejia raised his eyebrows and was about to volunteer to be the first candidate when Wu Hanning uttered without any hesitation, “I’ll go first!”

Everyone at the gate fell silent. The other people exchanged glances but did not say a word.

“Your Highness, I know you want to help the consort, but isn’t this too obvious?’ Woo Lejia smiled bitterly, but he quickly composed himself and asked, “Brother Ou, since Her Highness is willing to try, what do you think?”

Ou Yangming suddenly realized that Ni Yinghong’s palm had become sweaty.

The young lady looked like she was pretending to be tough, but she was definitely feeling a lot of pressure at the moment.

Ou Yangming turned around to flash an a.s.suring smile at Ni Yinghong, who was stunned for a while before she subconsciously felt at ease.

Following that, Ou Yangming announced loudly, “Since Her Highness has spoken, I’ll do as she asked.”

On the other hand, Bai s.h.i.+xue attracted everyone’s attention as she walked gracefully toward Ni Yinghong and asked, “Elder Sister Ni, it’s my first time here in Changlong County. Am I lucky enough to have you show me around the city?” “Elder Sister Bai, you’re being too polite. You’re our guest, so that’s my duty as the host.” Ni Yinghong grinned and let go of Ou Yangming’s hand, then she said to Bai s.h.i.+xue, “Please come with me.”

With that, two beautiful ladies conversed happily and entered the city, forgetting about the powerhouses outside the date.

The big yellow dog blinked and twitched its nose as it sniffed. It somehow looked excited.

Ou Yangming immediately sensed its change, so he glared at the dog but found it strange. ‘Is this fella interested in gossis too?

‘Has he really become a spirit?’

Big Yellow shook its body to remove the big pieces of equipment from its body, then it widened its mouth and sucked them into its stomach.

It looked proudly at the crowd because its special ability, which was similar to an interspatial bag, was truly rare.

Nevertheless, some of the powerhouses could not help but lament at the sight of its shockingly large pieces of equipment. They figured that if the big yellow dog was slaughtered, not only would they be able to feast on the half-spirit beast’s meat, but the magic tools’ raw materials would also make them incredibly rich.

Wu Hanning approached Ou Yangming in a poised manner and said, “Brother Ou, please go ahead.”

Ou Yangming nodded and said, “I’ll prepare a smithing workshop.”

“There’s no need for you to do that. The governor’s residence has the best smithing workshop in the city. Your Highness, after you,” Deng Xiyuan informed them right away. He glanced at Ou Yangming but did not know how he should address the young fellow, so he just let it be.

After all, the three ladies had gathered in the same city, and Ou Yangming had also held Ni Yinghong’s hand in public. If Deng Xiyuan were to address the young fellow as the consort, he would not be flattering him but would be courting his death instead.

Although many people had come from the capital, appropriate arrangements were made as soon as they entered the prefecture.

Even though some people’s interests were affected, n.o.body dared to say anything at this moment. They knew the powerhouses had come all the way from the capital and were here to risk their lives.
