Chapter 843 - Sphere of Mystery—Wind Enchanted Field (2/2)

Bell continued to stare at him. After a few moments, she nodded slightly so Rhode shrugged and turned to Christie.

“Christie, I shall hand Bell to you. I hope you two can get along well. Bell came from the refuge… It’s hard for me to explain. All in all, you just need to know that she doesn’t know anything about this outside world. I hope you can help her and be her friend. Okay?”

“… Okay!!”

Christie had no hesitation at all. She held Bell’s hands and nodded with a grin. It seemed like she was elated, so Rhode let out a sigh of relief. He extended his arm and caressed Christie’s hair.

“Alright then. Bring Bell for a shower, get changed, and find a room for her. Perhaps you two can stay together too.”

“… Okay… Rhode…”

Christie said. Then, she brought Bell and left the room together. Perhaps due to Rhode’s orders, Bell didn’t reject Christie’s advances and Rhode nodded in satisfaction.

He had always wanted to find a person to accompany Christie, but it hadn’t been easy. Canary and Mini Bubble Gum were always busy due to their capable strength. On the other hand, Anne basically followed Rhode everywhere as his main tanker apart from occasionally bringing Christie out to play.

Of course, Rhode had also thought of appointing a playmate and maid for Christie. However, after considering Christie’s importance to him, he didn’t trust others. But now, Bell seemed to be the most suitable choice from a certain aspect. Christie’s maturity had surpassed an adult with her sad past. Even though she was basically invincible after attaining the legendary artifact, the problem was that she was basically not in battle most of the time and would need a powerful bodyguard to protect her and Bell fit this requirement well. Not only that, but Christie could also teach Bell common sense without making her a spoiled child. Moreover, Bell’s body was connected to the strength of Order. As long as the tinder wasn’t completely extinguished, she could live on forever. Such a perfect bodyguard wasn’t easy to find.

“Canary.”

Rhode turned to her.

“I’ll hand this to your care.”

Rhode retrieved a small sphere crystal from his pocket, which was the spoils of war he had gotten from the Crystal Brute’s body.

“This is…”

Canary took it over curiously and a system prompt emerged before her.

“This is… a Sphere of Mystery? Did you loot this from the BOSS, Rhode? Are you sure it wasn’t Marlene who looted it? This… yes, it is indeed looted by you.”

“…”

Rhode curled his lips as soon as he heard the change in tone in her words. Of course, he knew what Canary saw in the system prompt because he also had the same reaction as her.

[Sphere of Mystery———Wind Enchanted Field. Core (Damaged. Repairable)]

Rhode would be considered lucky to have found an ancient Sphere of Mystery. But the biggest problem was that… it was damaged.

A legendary artifact was indeed a great find, but a damaged legendary artifact was another matter.

“Just like what I thought… You wouldn’t have such good luck and this proves that I’m right.”

Canary rolled her eyes and ridiculed. Rhode spread his arms apart helplessly.

“How would I know? I haven’t killed a BOSS for a long time and this was just a habit of mine to loot its body…”

“You didn’t even manage to loot equipment. Not only that, but you also found the core of the Sphere of Mystery and it is even damaged? I remember clearly that you brought Marlene along. Since you know that you’re unlucky, you should let her do it!”

“… I forgot about it at that moment.”

Back then the situation took a turn too quickly and Rhode was occupied with dealing with the Chaos Creatures and Crystal Brute that he forgot about his bad luck. As a result, he instinctively went up to loot the BOSS’ body after defeating it… Rhode admitted that he should change that bad habit of his…

“So then, what do you want me to do with it?”

“I hope you and Lapis can find some ways to repair it. No matter what, this is a Sphere of Mystery. I guess the Behermes Family should have a way to fix it. We can’t throw it away since we’ve gotten it, right?”

Rhode had also always thought that his ‘unlucky hands’ could be overcome.

Perhaps…

“Got it.”

Canary shrugged and like Rhode, she also didn’t wish to toss the core of a Sphere of Mystery away. Since it was repairable, wouldn’t they strike it rich after successfully fixing it? But…

“Rhode, please stay away from the BOSS’ body after killing it next time.”
