Chapter 167: Buying Magic Items (2/2)

”That's a family treasure from a human friend who lost a bet with me back in the days. He ended giving up this spear instead of his Lucky Ring. He said that this spear was blessed by an Aesir descendant friend he had long ago, although I didn't believe him. But he was a good man, so I just took it,” said Rakasha.

Aesir descendant friend? Aesir… like the actual gods?! Odin and the bunch?

”Are there more descendants of Aesir?” I asked.

”Yeah, there are. Mostly in Midgard. The royal houses and the Kingdoms spread through that land all have their royal family members with some blood of the old gods… Although it is extremely thin. It is said that those with strong bloodlines can showcase some of the power of the Aesir, like the ability to bless things… he said that this spear has a lesser blessing infused on it that gave it Light Attribute damage,” said Rakasha.

Well, this old man is a fountain of interesting info.

”I will take it too,” I said.

”Good choice!”

After that, I continued to browse through, most things lacked enough magic energy, I believe that only things with high magic density can give me Skills, so I had to be very picky.

Until I found what seemed to be a set of armor. Well, it was only the shoulder pads, the helmet, and the chest armor. It seemed big enough for an Ice Giant. The armor was dark blue-colored, and it released some magic essence from within, although it was dark and seemed quite eerie. It was one of the items that were brought to my attention.

”Is this set of armor cursed or something?” I asked.

”Oh, you're a pretty good crafter if you could realize by seeing it! Indeed, that's a set of armor I got super cheap from a guy around 4 years ago. The guy was a Sect Member of this place, he had gotten this armor from the Dungeon, the thing is, it used to be worn by his friend, who died suddenly when he tripped over a trap, afterward, another friend used it and died in some unlucky way as well a few days afterward, and so did a third friend… The guy was devastated. It seems that this armor is cursed and gives misfortune to those that wear it, so he sold it to me for just 1000 Mana Stones. I tried dismantling it before to use the magic ore as raw material and make something that wasn't cursed, but even for me it was hard to do so, the material is kept tightly packed together by the curse runes… So it has been lying there,” said Rakasha.

Interesting… a cursed set of armor.

Maybe I should buy it.

And damn, that's a big backstory for this thing… I hope those unfortunate souls can rest in peace.

”Yeah, I'll take it too. I think I can give it some use,” I said.

”Oho? Alright then…” laughed the man.

After that, there wasn't anything big that caught my attention, but there were still a lot of little things.

I decided to take some of the concoctions the old man was keeping, such as a Health Potion and a Mana Potion, found inside the dungeon, they can heal immediately and are said to close wounds and restore mana instantly by a certain amount. They're valuable items, and I wondered if I could drink them and get something interesting out of them, so I picked one of each.
