Chapter 490 - Zephyr (2) (2/2)

However, one word took Auron's attention, upgradeable. An upgradeable weapon. During his time playing this game, Auron never had seen any upgradeable weapon. This was his first time seeing this.

”Where did you get this sword from?” Auron could not help but wonder about the sword's origin.

”When I was hiding away from the enemy, I found a cave and hid there. However, when I was inside, I felt sleepy and lost consciousness. When I woke up, magically, I was back at the wilderness in Gaia with these two swords in my possession.”

Auron could not believe Zephyr's story. It was too unbelievable. Zephyr saw this and said, ”I know you might now believe in my story, but trust me, I tell the truth.”

”Okay, let's put that aside. How about this sword? Do you want to buy it?” Zephyr asked.

”Why do you choose me? I believe it is not only because I help you against Karab.” Auron was still confused about the reason why Zephyr chose him to sell this sword. Moreover, he was a mage. It was a strange sight to see a mage was buying a sword.

”Yes, you are correct. Actually, I have recognized you from the start of the auction. I want you to do something for me.”

”Why me?” Auron still could not believe how this man wanted to choose him.

”Okay... Okay... I took some interest in you. Wait, I am not interested in you in that way. ”

”I was one of the soldiers that joined the mission to rescue General Aston.”

”At that mission, I saw your fighting prowess. After that mission, I began to check your background. And my conjecture was correct. Currently, you have around 15000 military points, right?”

Auron nodded. Zephyr continued, ”Do you know how difficult it was to obtain 15000 military points? Moreover, you just join the military for less than one year.”

With what Zephyr had just said, everything began to make sense for Auron. Now, he knew why he was being called to demonstrate the staff when Auron didn't even raise his hand.

”So, you will sell this sword to me in exchange for a favor from me? What if I can't do you what you want?” Auron asked.

”Um... Actually, my offer price is not that. I knew that you only have 15000 military points. Based on the exchange rates, your military points are worthed for 750 golds. I intend to sell this sword for that 750 gold plus one favor from you. How about it?”

Auron was pondering. Then, he asked back, ”I can agree with the 750 gold. But my question is still the same. What if I can't do you what you want?”

”As long as you do your best, I will leave the result at your hands.”

”Really? You trust me that much?” Auron asked.

”Not really, but I trust Alice and General Aston's choices. You know I have checked your background, right? And, I found out that those two are quite close to you. I knew these two's personalities, and I trust them. Hence, I trust you who these two trusted.”

Auron felt that Zephyr's reason made sense. If Zephyr said that he trusted Auron, then Auron would not buy it. However, since he said that he trusted Alice and General Aston, Auron believed in him.

”Okay, I believe in you. And, I promise, I will do my best to complete what you wanted. So, tell me, what do you want me to do?”
