Chapter 71 (2/2)
No wonder the crowd is gone today. “Hmm even Aunt Lan doesn’t know what the thing is.” Hong Xiaobao shrugged and said, “Okay then, I’ll take a look over there when I have time. Aunt Lan, I’ll leave now. Now that I have gathered so many informations from you, I guess I can start selling Jiang Hu Stories in a day or two.”
“Don’t be too polite with me, Your Highness. See ya!” Aunt Lan said.
After exiting the Warm Fragrant Building, Hong Xiaobao rushed back to the headquarters of Grand Alliance before entering an empty room. He then instructed his guards to not interrupt his sleep.
“Weih, now that you know what’s going on, do you guys have any idea what the rare treasure is?” Hong Xiaobao asked quietly.
Now that there was no one around, the old folks could finally appear. The first one who popped out was unexpectedly Xi Hong the fat one. “If what the f.u.c.ker said was right, this thing is indeed a treasure!”
Hong Xiaobao’s eyes brightened as he quickly asked, “Then what is it? A spirit medicine? A decorative treasure?”
“Neither. In fact, it is an ore that is going to be mature soon.” Xi Hong smiled and said.
“An ore?!” Hong Xiaobao finally knew why Xi Hong appeared first. This fellow was a divine smith, he naturally knew the most about ores. “What you meant was… this thing can be used to forge a rather good armor of some sort?!”
“Something like that,” Xi Hong nodded. “According to the description that aroma of flowers could travel for ten miles… Yes, it is probably the Rainbow Aroma Ore. I don’t really know how it is formed but I’m sure that this thing can disperse the aroma of flowers across the sky. Furthermore, lots of flowers will bloom on the lands surrounding this ore.”
Rainbow Aroma Ore. This thing sounds impressive!
Xi Hong continued saying, “This Rainbow Aroma Ore is around the size of a millstone and is covered by an ink-black sh.e.l.l. This sh.e.l.l is extremely difficult to penetrate even with sharp knives. However, the sh.e.l.l is pretty much useless. The useful part lies within the sh.e.l.l. As its name suggests, the part inside the sh.e.l.l, Rainbow Aroma Ore has seven colours and brings the aroma of flowers. When it hardens, it is harder than gold and iron. When it doesn’t, it is soft like clothes. In conclusion, it is a rather suitable material for a female armor.”
After listening to Xi Hong’s words, Hong Xiaobao immediately had an idea in mind. This is exactly what I’ll use for Sister Caixiao’s armor. At that time, I will call it the Rainbow Garment! Waseh…
(TL: ‘Waseh’ is the Chinese version of ‘oh my G.o.d’. I wanna keep it more Chinese-like. XD)
Out of nowhere, Meng Xianji suddenly shouted, “A treasure? Rob!”
Hong Xiaobao: “⊙﹏⊙”
