Chapter 926: Unsettling Night (2)

“Alright, what do you have?”

After realizing Stefania’s identity, Rhode was no longer surprised as to why she was with Emily anymore. Although he had never met Stefania in the game, he was aware about the rumors spreading among players about the plane merchants’ characteristics. The plane merchants loved to roam the world for rare, bizarre items while Emily was an expert in finding them for business deals. It could be considered the will of heaven that both of them met.

“I have everything, Your Majesty. I have many, many interesting things. Ah, but I’ve to put it upfront that although it is rare for me to have a chance to meet you, I can only sell one item to you. So, please choose carefully and of course, as for the remuneration….” Stefania gazed at Rhode meaningfully. “Your Majesty, since you’re aware of us, plane merchants, I don’t have any reasons to keep secrets from you. We don’t need gold coins and if you have any precious treasures, gems, or amusing things, you can use it for an exchange. Of course, if you do exchange with an adorable girl, I will give her something extra for free. That’s because I love adorable girls.”

“Adorable girl?”

Rhode looked meaningfully at Angelina while the latter was bewildered. Stefania showed a bitter smile.

“Ah… Unfortunately I can’t accept this vampire lady. For some particular reasons, I just can’t… Besides, my adorable kittens dislike vampires so I’m sorry. But since you’re Emily’s friend, I will give you a 20 percent discount, Your Majesty.”

Every family has its hardships it seems.

Although Stefania sounded vague, Rhode still realized the hidden meaning behind her words. Yes… He wouldn’t be commenting on her personal interest.

“Alright then, what would you like to have, Your Majesty? How about this, the Transformation Bracelet? It can transform you into a real woman and I suppose you need this, Your Majesty. Not only will your gender switch, but your hair color will also change. I guarantee that no one will see through your disguise. Besides, it will also strengthen your powers to the next level. There are three colors of red, blue, and white for it. If you want to, I can add on a talking puppet for free.”

“It’s not necessary.”

Rhode shook his head. He had no interest in becoming a real woman and his disguise was only for show. Besides, he didn’t find anything special about this bracelet.

“Hmm… I thought that you’ll be interested in that, Your Majesty… If that’s the case…”

Stefania didn’t give up despite the rejection. Instead, she promoted other items like a true merchant.

“How about this sword, the Frostmourne Blade? This is a truly powerful weapon. Not only does it have the ability to abstract souls, but it can also be used to summon armies of undead. Your Majesty, if you want to show your prestige as the ruler, you mustn’t miss this weapon. If you buy it now, I’ll add on a Frost Throne for you. It is 100 percent hand-made and uniquely exquisite…”

Rhode pondered for a few moments before shaking his head. Indeed, perhaps this sword would be considered godlike for ordinary players, but after considering his identity and relationship with Lydia and Lilian, he didn’t believe that having this sword on him would be useful. Moreover, he had already obtained powerful swords like Shira and Celestina, so there was no need to waste a valuable chance with a plane merchant on an additional weapon.

“By the way, it seems like you have plenty of girls around you. Am I right, Your Majesty? With your grand identity, the young ladies will attract attention, even from the bad guys. Since that’s the case, I think you will be interested in this, the Sunburst Sword. It is a S-grade magic weapon that can provide a powerless woman with strength that can destroy the planet. Well… if you dislike violence, I have this Soul Gem. As long as the girl signs a contract with it and becomes a magical girl, her soul will be stored in the gem. She will even survive even if her head is bitten off—provided that the gem isn’t on her head.”

“Nope.”

Rhode shook his head. If it were in the past, he would have bought and given it to Christie. But now, since half of Christie possessed powers of the Deity Warden, he didn’t need such a protection item anymore.

“Do you have any means of transportation?”

Rhode suddenly recalled that he didn’t have any impressive vehicles. He had to admit that some of the items that Stefania promoted were indeed powerful and amusing. However… They weren’t especially useful for him.

“Of course!”

Stefania revealed an excited smile. She waved her arms in midair and shortly after, an illusory image appeared between her arms.

“How about this, Your Majesty? The Normandy Warship; it is built using the latest technology, contains super-space navigation capability, and can conceal from most space detection. Also… I have this Autumn Wind Cruise. It has first-rate defense and if you buy now, it will come with artificial intelligence installed for free. If you dislike its appearance, please have a look at this Spaceship Essoda, elegant and beautiful. It possesses strong firepower and transport capabilities. Do you like any of them?”

My goal isn’t even to go to the Stars Ocean…

Rhode twitched his brows to the three warships. Indeed, although they seemed impressive, his goal wasn’t to enter outer space, after all. He only wanted a convenient means of transport within his territory.

“Is there anything that is more… normal?”

“… Your Majesty, how is it possible that we sell normal items?”

Rhode gazed at the helpless-looking Stefania and realized that he asked a naive question. Indeed, the biggest feature about plane merchants was their rare, amusing goods. He would be asking the wrong person if he wanted something ordinary.

“What about some summoning cards?”
