Chapter 750: First Fragment (1/2)
Krune then made the first offer.
”You've probably heard of my Purple Flame Equipment. I can craft them for your clan. I'm sure that having weapons capable of displaying a power above others would greatly help in the future.”
Sopil nodded.
”Indeed. I've heard about your Purple Flame Equipment. However, there is a problem here. Tell me, what should we do with maintenance? You are the only one capable of creating them. Unfortunately, you are the only one capable of repairing them as well.”
Krune was taken aback. This was the first time he heard someone talking about repairing his Purple Flame Equipment. However, he understood why. Before he left the Mortal Realm, he had only created equipment for the Divine Stars Level. Those cultivators knew that they would cultivate to higher levels, and Krune's equipment would eventually fall behind their own level. That being said, they didn't mind not repairing them.
However, the Divinity Realm cultivators of the Hure Clan were different. They would take a very long time to cultivate, and many of them would delay their ascension on purpose for even longer. Naturally, they would use Krune's Purple Flame Equipment for a much, much longer time. Chances are that they would indeed break at some point. However, without Krune to use his Purple Flame to repair them, they would be just scraps once that happened.
Immediately, Krune understood that his Purple Flame Equipment might not have as high of a value as he imagined at first. Lani didn't complain about it since he did say that he would ascend soon. The Staff Krune crafted for him would be more than enough for him until then.
”This... What if I make a lot of them? If one breaks, you can use the next one.”
Sopil smiled but shook his head.
”You are a blacksmith, so don't tell me that you don't know. There is no such thing as identical equipment. Especially once you reach our cultivation. The commitment you put on it is not the same if you change later. I'm sorry. Your Purple Flame equipment is indeed great, but it's not to the point where we would trade our Heavenly Fragment.”
Krune sighed but didn't blame them. After all, he knew that Sopil was telling the truth. Krune had made 102 Flying Shields that looked identical, but he, more than anyone else, could tell how different they are.
Feifei then smiled at Krune as if she was already expecting something like that.
'The Destiny Divine Soul and Heavenly Fragment, huh?'
Krune then gave up offering his Purple Flame Equipment and switched to the Godly Path Realm items.
”In that case, would you like to trade them for Godly Stones?”
Sopil, who had been smiling so far, suddenly froze in place.
”What did you say?”
”Godly Stones. Other than my Purple Flame Equipment, I can only think about giving these things.”
Of course, Krune also had other things, but he preferred to use the most abundant one he had.
”This... how many are we talking about? No, first of all, how did you get them? I heard that you can find those in the Holy Land, but no one should be able to bring them out. Could it be...”
Krune shrugged his shoulders.
”Who else other than Wally could have them? He's someone from the Higher Realms, after all. He has no use for these stones, so he gave me a lot of them. Since Clan Leader Sopil has no interest in my Purple Flame Equipment, I can only use these things instead.”
Sopil and the other elders around him couldn't help but feel excited. Godly Stones were definitely another matter in itself. Not only could they keep some for the next Heavenly Fragment Owner, but they could also use the rest for themselves. It could also be used for other things like trading in the future if necessary. In any case, depending on the number of Godly Stones, it would be worth more than their Heavenly Fragment Alone.
Just as he was pondering, Sopil received a Divine Sense Message.
'Clan Leader, what about we join hands to attack this wisp? He definitely has a lot more Godly Stones than he will offer us. Besides, we would also be able to keep the Heavenly Fragment if we succeed.'
Sure enough, quite a few of them became greedy once they heard that offer.
Sopil had to admit that the idea enticed him. Krune was only in the 4th Stage of the Divinity Realm while they even had Peak Ones guarding the clan. If they attacked together, they could most likely take everything away from Krune. However, Sopil came back to himself and shook his head in the end.
'Out of the question. Did you not hear who gave those Godly Stones to Krune? What if Wally himself comes to take revenge for him?'
'But didn't they say that Wally wouldn't intervene?'
'Idiot! They said that they wouldn't use Wally's name to force us to deliver the Heavenly Fragment. They never said anything about not asking for help in case they were in danger.'
'But... We can simply cover the truth and get rid of their bodies. If Wally really appears and can't find anything, he won't be able to act due to the past agreement, no?'
Sopil snorted after hearing that.
