Chapter 359 - 322 : One Bulle (1/2)

When the two-days limit was about to end, Amidel finally invited Arthur to his residence yet again. The man seemed more relaxed than last time but his face was paler than usual.

As the two parties sat facing each other, this time with the absence of the two children, Kang Amidel poured some tea for the couple before he initiated the conversation.

”Unfortunately, the higher-ups were strongly against the idea of selling the Vermillion Bird's corpse... however, I'm still hesitant and would like to hear your offer before giving you my final answer.”

'Higher-ups?'

Arthur just confirmed his suspicions upon hearing that word. He had long since doubted Amidel's origin to the nature of the city and the grand formation under it. The Kang family is sure tied to one of the strong clans in the Higher-Realms. At first, Arthur tried searching for a Kang clan in the higher-realms but there were no good informants so he scheduled it for later.

Arthur nodded his head to Amidel then signaled for the latter to follow him as he teleported to a wide open area behind the castle. Intrigued but what's the price Arthur is willing to pay, he focused his attention on the grey-haired man and waited.

With a wave of hand, Arthur retrieved the Azure Dragon's lifeless body, which was healed completely since last time. When he killed it, it turned into minced meat but after great effort, he, more or less, remodeled to its original form.

As he witnessed the large body of the blue dragon laying before him, Amidel's pupils constricted as he stood there, startled. In just a few seconds, he regained his calm, after all, it made sense for Arthur to have a corpse of the Divine Beasts.

The city lord was already aware that the Divine Beasts' attack on Astria was unsuccessful and that Arthur was the one who prevailed. Then again, if he defeated them all then he should have all four bodies, why would he need the Vermillion Bird's corpse.

'Is it because it's the leader? Then the Vermillion Bird who attacked Astria surely isn't the leader amongst them, it must be one of the other three.'

”I presume it's not the leader? It's still not worth it.”

Arthur laughed and retorted

”Of course it's not, which is why I'll add something else. I can one ten million Red Spirit Stones or one million Green Spirit Stones, or I can craft a treasure for you.”

Although Arthur was willing to give Amidel a large amount of Spirit Stones, the city lord wasn't interested in such things as he wasn't lacking but the third option was strange, to say the least.

Amongst all the information he had gotten on Arthur, not one of them mentioned he was good at crafting treasures. Such a job is very rare and sought by many factions.

Heavenly Blacksmiths or Artifact crafters, also known as, Astrals, are very sparse and they're usually in seclusion, spending their time trying to forge or craft a treasure that would bring down a celestial tribulation.

”What makes you think you can craft something that would interest me?”

Arthur shrugged at this question and glanced at Lucy, who took out the silver revolver.

”This is one of my finest creations, why don't you test its might?”

Amidel curiously stared at the gun, which is an unfamiliar weapon in the Cloud Sea Universe.

Kang signaled he's ready and waited for Lucy to attack using Silent Moon. To not cause too much destruction, Lucy put a 1st-grade bullet. It was a green bullet with a small circle around its tip, this indicated it was a bullet which has the Wind Attribute. It's basically one of the weakest bullets Lucy currently has but since using a stronger version would be an overkill, she just went with this one.

Pure Mana went circulated in Lucy's body then swiftly went through her hand and entered the grey revolver, causing it to shine brightly and just a split second before the trigger was pulled, a small green circle appeared in front of the tip of the gun.

Like the sound the thunderclap, the bullet appeared before Amidel in a split second as if it teleported. The man was calm and prepared, he raised his hand and a transparent barrier was raised around him, blocking the bullet from entering.

Unfortunately, the bullet wasn't so easy to block despite being 1st grade, after all, it is strengthened by Lucy's stats and the gun which made it very deadly.
