274 Beyonder Weapon (1/2)
The woman with the hooded face looked around her and said, ”The two weapons this time are easy to carry around.
”One of them is the Whip of Slowness. It's a replica of a particular mystical item. It can constantly create formless restraints, influencing your opponent bit by bit, slowing down his actions gradually. The longer you last in battle, the more effective it would be.
”It can still be used for two years. 450 pounds, or the potion formula for Barbarian.”
This whip sounds pretty good, and it feels like the spider silk ability of the Demoness of Pleasure… However, would it seem a little strange for Little Sun to use a whip? Klein asked in a hoarse voice, ”Can this invisible binding effect affect spirit-type creatures? For example, wraiths?”
The lady shook her head slowly. ”No.”
Without waiting for any further questions, she continued introducing, ”The second weapon is called the Axe of Hurricane. It can raise the user's agility and running speed. There's also a 15% chance of inflicting a numbing effect to the enemy and a 5% chance of producing a bolt of lightning. If used in a thunderstorm, the chance of the lightning bolt will be raised to 50%.
”This has all been verified through experimentation and concluded through copious amounts of data.
”This weapon's effects can last for no more than a year. 520 pounds or the potion formula to Barbarian.”
This is much stronger than the Whip of Slowness. If it wasn't for the fact that it only has the Beyonder effects for a year, it probably wouldn't be this price… Right, according to the description of Little Sun and the scene I vaguely saw, in the air above the City of Silver and the surrounding area, there are always flashes of lightning. The highest frequency is during daytime and the lowest frequency is during nighttime. This is very similar to a so-called thunderstorm environment…
If it's really effective, then this Axe of Hurricane would be a truly mystical item in the hands of Little Sun. Each strike has a 50% chance of blasting out lightning. It would be absolutely formidable!
Even if that doesn't work, looking at the most basic Beyonder effects of the Axe of Hurricane, it's still quite a good weapon, and it meets the needs of Little Sun… As for the problem that it can only be used for a year, it's not a big problem to solve. In one year, with Little Sun's digestion rate and City of Silver's Beyonder resources, as long as he has the potion formulas, he would at least be Sequence 6 by then. At that point in time, he'll definitely need to replace his weapon!
As his mind whirled, Klein basically determined that he was buying the Axe of Hurricane.
At that moment, the Apothecary muttered, ”Is an axe easy to carry around? I feel like I've heard a joke, and I think it might be more appropriate to make a wrench. Say, can't you sell stuff like revolvers with Beyonder effects?”
”I will try my best to collect similar items.” The woman emphasized the word ”collect.” ”Alright, friends who are willing to buy one of these weapons, please make a bid.”
Before Klein could even speak, he heard a male voice from the long sofa.
”Axe of Hurricane, 520 pounds.”
The woman waited a few seconds before asking again, ”Is there anyone else who wants to bid?”
”530 pounds.” Klein added ten pounds.
The man immediately replied, ”550 pounds.”
… This… Little Sun, if he raises it to more than 600 pounds, I won't be buying it. I'll get you a new whip! With a definite strategy in mind, Klein called out very calmly, ”560 pounds.”
He tried to make it appear that no matter what offer was made, he could add on an additional ten pounds.
And the 600 pounds he had just earned was just enough to put invisible pressure on the other party.
Upon hearing the latest price, the man fell silent and shrugged.
”Alright then, it's yours.”
Phew… Klein secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
”Is there anyone else who wants to bid for the Axe of Hurricane?” the woman asked again, but the room was silent.
”Sold!” The lady didn't hesitate any longer and handed the box next to her right foot to the attendant.
The attendant had the Eye of Wisdom appraise it before bringing it to Klein, Money was handed over in exchange for the item.
Putting away the remaining four ten-pound notes, Klein opened the box and saw an axe that could be attached to one's back or tucked in one's belt.
Its entire body was iron black in color, thick, and sturdy, with a sharp edge. In his Spirit Vision, it was clear that the creator had used a large number of spiritual materials.
There were also many symbols and magic runes on the surface of the axe. They were embedded inside, turning into lightning and hurricane patterns. When Klein reached out to touch it, he felt a faint pricking pain.
He nodded and placed the box on his lap.
It can be exchanged for the true root and juice of a Mist Treant. My Magician potion is only missing the spinal fluid of a Dark Patterned Black Panther… I've made a good deal of money in my past few commissions, and together with my original savings and what I just have left, I have 209 pounds 5 solis and 5 pennies on me… The Beyonder ingredients corresponding to Sequence 7 are valued at 500 to 700 pounds… Heh, I still had to sell formulas or knowledge… Yes, I'll take the time to check on Leppard this week and confirm the progress of his bicycle… Klein stopped bidding and quietly watched from the sidelines.
Later on, someone bought the Whip of Slowness for 480 pounds, and a Beyonder ingredient called Heart of Featherman wasn't sold because its price reached 1,600 pounds and nobody wanted it.
According to his knowledge of mysticism, Klein knew that this Beyonder ingredient would be classified in the category of Sequence 6.
In the following transactions, more failed than succeeded. After all, most of the Beyonders who came to the gathering had a specific purpose, and they wouldn't casually waste money and resources. They weren't like Klein, who bought any weapon as long as the Beyonder effects were good enough.
