Chapter 495: Braingorge Rakshas (2/2)
If this simple, honest-looking fatty wanted to kill her, she would have absolutely no room for resisting!
Lilian was overwhelmed with shock. She clarified, “What I meant was, in the case that the auction house found our Druidic Order’s Hand of Goddess for you, would you please resell it to us? We are willing to acquire it for an even higher price!”
At this moment, Sophie, who was sitting beside Han Shuo, yanked the corner of his shirt. It seemed that Sophie too had sensed the killing intent coming from Han Shuo, and therefore reminded Han Shuo of the current settings.
The cold gloom on his face was shed and replaced with an ordinary smile. He laughed and said, “Ah! So that’s the case! Let’s talk about this later when the time comes. Perhaps when the auction house finds the item for me!”
Two days prior, this lady appeared as though she was rather lacking in money. Who could have anticipated that after just such a short while, she would actually be willing to offer a higher price to purchase the item? This lady ought to have raised enough funds, otherwise, she definitely wouldn’t have said so.
“Sir, that item is very important to our Druidic Order. If you are willing to resell it to us, our Druidic Order will be most grateful,” Lilian continued while looking at Han Shuo somewhat pleadingly after she made out the dismissive expression on Han Shuo’s face.
“I don’t expect to ever obtain the item myself. If you have time on your hand, you’re better off getting in touch with the auction house. Perhaps they have another one for sale. Who knows?” Han Shuo was absolutely not about pass the Viride Leaf to another person. It was insurmountably beneficial to wood elite zombie. Moreover, Han Shuo depended on wood elite zombie to unleash the full might of the Penta-elemental Undead Formation.
Staring at Han Shuo, Lilian opened her mouth and was about to say something, but hesitated. Perhaps it was because she recalled the frightening killing intent Han Shuo displayed just before, she did not continue her speech.
Han Shuo didn’t know why but when he looked at Lilian’s hesitative expression, in his heart, he would indistinctly feel as if she actually knew that the ‘Viride Leaf’ was in his possession. This feeling was completely baffling. Han Shuo gave a couple of glances and carefully observed her. From her adamant eyes, he seemed to realize something.
How did she know? No way! Han Shuo was baffled. He hesitated for a while before trying to probe her, “How many gold coins can you put forth?”
Immediately after Han Shuo uttered those words, Lilian was pleasantly surprised and said, “You are willing to sell it to us?”
This led Lilian to be unequivocally convinced that Han Shuo was in possession of the item. It was only so that she had reacted this way. Han Shuo noticed her reaction right away as he attentively observed her. He was sure that she had figured out that the Viride Leaf was in his hands, although he couldn’t tell exactly how.
“Well, if you offer a reasonable bargain, when I finally receive the item, I will consider selling it to you!” Han Shuo casually replied.
“350 thousand gold coins. What say you?” Lilian hastily responded.
Hmm, not as well-off as I thought. Merely an additional 50 thousand gold coins. Han Shuo thought to himself.
“400 thousand gold coins! That’s as much as I can offer. I beg you, please, that is all that we could come up with!” Seeing that Han Shuo was keeping silence, Lilian assumed that Han Shuo was not satisfied with the price of 350 thousand gold coins, and therefore said to Han Shuo almost pleadingly.
With such a classy lady entreating him in such a soft and servile manner, if it weren’t for the fact that the Viride Leaf was so important to wood elite zombie, Han Shuo would have actually agreed.
“Pretty good price. I will consider it!” Han Shuo helplessly sighed and replied Lilian with a courteous smile.
“The Brain-Eating Beast. It is an unusually strange magical creature. It doesn’t have crystal cores and it survives by eating the brains of humans and magical creatures. It is said to only exist deep under the easternmost seas of Profound Continent. Very difficult to capture. Any children born with learning difficulties, as long as they consume the Brain-Eating Beast, will regain their intelligence and become even smarter than the average child. Additionally…,” the auctioneer’s high spirited voice sounded.
Han Shuo felt like he was on ecstasy. For the first time, he gathered his attention and cast his sights on the item on stage. He no longer attended to Lilian, who was jabbering beside him.
In Chu Cang Lan’s memory, the Brain-Eating Beast was called the Braingorge Rakshas – a rare, unique creature. After reforging GIlbert’s physical flesh and bones, Han Shuo was most concerned about the restoration of Gilbert’s brain tissue. But if Han Shuo could get hold of a Braingorge Rakshas, he wouldn’t need to worry about this issue. So long as he managed to resolve this final significant hurdle, and after collecting some more materials, Han Shuo could practically get down to reconstruct Gilbert a new physical body right away.
Thus, just like the wood attribute treasure Viride Leaf, Han Shuo was determined to win home the Braingorge Rakshas.
