Chapter 77 - Wind Dragons Four Forms (2/2)

Dane could not help but raise the piece of wood up as he said to himself, ”Thankfully, after doing numerous experiments on this Gale Dragon Wood, I knew that Jihan was telling the truth. This piece of Gale Dragon Wood does have signs of a soul forming inside it!”

”Now, if I can convert the energy of this incomplete soul into a type of energy that could support the weapon's spell casting, then it might not be impossible for the Highness to use Level 3 Spells while only receiving light injuries!”

With a plan formed in his mind, Dane stood up once more as he willed a piece of cloth to wrap around the Gale Dragon Wood tightly using his mana. He then tied this piece of cloth to the insides of the robe he wore before heading out of the 40th floor of the Arcana Tower, going downwards to the 1st floor, and leaving the Arcana Tower after that.

As Dane walked out of the Arcana Tower, the first thing he saw was the long line of people that led up to the multiple entrances of the Arcana Tower. Dane could not help but chuckle as he looked at this. ”It seems there has been an influx of people wanting to become magic-related classes these past few days. Does that mean that I have to look over more people and take in more students?”

Putting the current sight at the back of his mind, Dane started to walk towards a certain direction as he tried to recall a certain place in his memories which sold one of the materials he needed to craft the Ninth Prince's weapon with. Since he was a High Mage and was well-versed in creating staves and other sorts of weapons imbued with magic, Dane had a foundation for weapon knowledge, which meant that he knew a lot of material combinations that would synergize and amplify each other's characteristics.

…

With Dane using a movement buff spell on himself, it only took him a few minutes to stand in front of the certain place he recalled. ”This is the one, I hope they have what I need.”

The building in front of him looked like something out of medieval times…if it wasn't for the fact that large gears and hydraulics mostly covered the walls of this building. If one looked hard enough, one would see a metal sign beside a large gear with the words 'Krodel's Rare Goods'.

Ding!

Dane entered the building as the door chimes swayed with the breeze, alerting the staff of his arrival. In an instant, one of the staff hastily went up to Dane and respectfully bowed before saying, ”Welcome to Krodel's Rare Goods, dear customer. How may we help you today?”

Rather than replying to the staff's question, Dane fished out an item from the insides of his robes and revealed it to the staff that attended to him. It was a simple badge made out of metal that radiated a faint green glow. Nonetheless, it was enough to make the staff's jaw drop while Dane started to talk. ”I have an esteemed badge bestowed by Krodel himself, is he here at the moment?”

The staff, which was dumbfounded from the sight of the badge, snapped back to reality after hearing Dane's words. The staff nodded furiously as he asked, ”Certainly, esteemed guest. Would you like me to take you to where he currently is?”

”Please do,” Dane replied. Since the staff was polite to him, then Dane would reciprocate the politeness by being polite as well. It only took a few minutes for the staff member and Dane to head towards a small pond with a bench by the side. On that bench was a man with graying hair, but exuded an aura of intense vitality and strength.

Seeing the man's silhouette, Dane's eyes lit up as he said to the staff, ”You may not leave.”

Of course, the staff member was glad that he could stay away from these two monsters, so he respectfully bowed to Dane and left not long after.

”Heh…it's quite a rare occurrence for you to come to my shop.” Just as Dane was about to walk towards the man on the bench, the man on the bench turned around to face as he started to speak.

At that moment, a face of an average middle-aged man could be seen, which gave out an amiable and easy-going aura, contrasting with the aura the man gave out a while ago.

”Well, you're the first person to come across my mind since I need a specific material,” Dane could not help but chuckle as he replied while walking towards the man. Since they were basically of the same rank, Dane did not hesitate to sit beside the man.

”That's why my shop is named Krodel's Rare Goods, if it's rare, then we definitely have it in stock.” The man chuckled after hearing Dane's statement. He then followed up with, ”So…what material do you want to buy?”

Dane pondered for a bit before looking at the man straight into the eyes and saying, ”Spirit Star Steel.”
