Chapter 692: Little Tycoon (1/2)

GDK 692: Little Tycoon

Donna took Han Shuo to the largest divine weapon shop of the region. The store was divided into five levels. The lowest level sold tools and devices for demigods and basegods. The second level was shelved with divine weapons for lowgods. The third level catered divine weapons to midgods. The fourth level was specially for customers who wished to order custom-made divine weapons. Finally, the fifth level was reserved for the shopkeepers to rest.

Divine weapons for highgods were only on sale in the few largest shops in Elysium. This street did not have shops of that scale that sold divine weapons of such supreme class.

Han Shuo followed Donna into the shop and walked directly to the third level. After browsing through some magnificent armor, staffs, and all kinds of divine weapons, Han Shuo had to admit that compared to all the great masters of Profound Continent, the Elysian were much, much more skilled in smelting tools and weapons.

Not only did the tools have remarkable functions, but they were also extraordinarily designed. The armor would be etched with mysterious patterns and diagrams for boundaries and seals. The divine weapons would usually be embedded with special gemstones that were both functional and beautiful.

Even ignoring their abilities and powers and comparing just their aesthetics, the weapons and devices on display here were several classes superior to those made by the elves of Profound Continent.

All the shopkeepers in the shop recognized Donna. They bowed and greeted her in an unctuous manner as soon as Donna entered their sight.

“Stop looking. We will head straight for the fourth level. You can check these out later after we are done at the fourth level,” Donna hastened when she saw how invested Han Shuo was in every item he saw, taking comprehensive mental notes of everything on display.

“I really must say that these objects are really fine and delicate. They are even more beautiful than those made by the most skilled elves back on my continent!” Han Shuo exclaimed in admiration after moving his gaze away from a glorious sapphire crown.

“The race of elf you mention are also present on Elysium. However, when it comes to arts and smelting, they are nowhere close to the proficiency of the race of Divinesmelter. The elves would usually work as assistants for the Divinesmelters. Those elves on your continent likely had inherited some of the knowledge of smelting from those ancient elves on Elysium. Therefore, it is to be expected that what they produced cannot compare to those of the Divinesmelters,” Donna explained smilingly.

The Divinesmelters was one of the myriads of races living on Elysium. People of this race were fixated towards arts and obsessed with attaining aesthetic perfection. Traditionally, whenever a weapon or tool had been smelted on Elysium, it was sent to this race to be decorated and refined, transforming the tool from a crude piece of metal into a work of art so delicate that anyone would fall in love with it at first sight.

The two arrived at the fourth level as they conversed. There, they saw an old man sitting with his eyes closed, resting. He wore a robe that was covered with a pattern of squares, rather eccentric in style. When he opened his eyes and saw Donna walking over, his eyes shone brightly and he said smilingly, “Miss Donna! Of the House of Lavers! We are honored by your presence. Are you here to order some special divine weapons to be custom made?”

Donna shook her head and said in her lovable smile, “Grandpa Domo, you’ve got it wrong this time. I’ve come here today not to purchase but to sell you some extra divine weapons.”

That old man called Domo cultivated in the element of death and he only had basegod strength. He had spent most of his time and effort smelting divine weapons. He was a professional who specialized in this field. “Haha, you must be kidding me, Donna. Your Lavers Family are prosperous and wealthy. There’s no way you would need to sell the surplus divine weapons to gather some small change,” Domo appeared very happy when he heard Donna address him as ‘Grandpa’ and he stopped calling Donna ‘Miss’.

“Of course it’s not me; it’s my friend. He came to this material plane recently and has some divine weapons that he likely will never use. Rather than letting them sit and mold, he might as well exchange them for crystal coins that he could use!” Donna explained as she smiled sweetly. She sat in an empty chair that seemed to be made of wood in front of Domo and then gestured at Han Shuo.

“Is this our friend who has something to sell?” Domo sized Han Shuo up with some astonishment before he nodded and said reassuringly, “Don’t worry - for Donna’s sake, I won't rip you off. You may feel at ease with taking out all the goods you want to sell. I will assess them and give you a price. We will make a deal if you then agree to the price.”

“Alright!” Han Shuo pulled out his space ring and emptied it of each and every object, which included swords, armors, and miscellaneous devices. He laid them all out before Domo.

Domo looked at the twenty-something objects laid on his table with calm eyes. He waited until Han Shuo had taken out every item before he fiddled with those items one by one. Domo’s eyes glinted slightly when he saw the three divine weapons previously used by Eriksson and Kaiser.

“Those belonged to Kaiser and Eriksson, didn't they?” Donna’s discovered the anomaly when she noticed that Domo was inspecting the three objects attentively. She looked at Han Shuo with astonishment as she asked, “How did they end up in your possession?”

“The two died in that strange place. I lost my way and stumbled upon their bodies, so I took their belongings,” Han Shuo appeared very relaxed as he made up an excuse without thinking.

“You lucky bastard!” Donna laughed. When Han Shuo looked back at her, she rolled her eyes and remarked, “Why is it that you would always run into all the most fortunate situations?”
