Chapter 357 Ludao
Chapter 357 Ludao
"My Lord Envoy, I will do as you say and prepare 1000 pieces of carefully selected Imperial Tomb Ore. I will come to get it next time. Goodbye!"
Brooke said, and jumped down.
The Imperial Mausoleum Secret Realm envoy was shocked! He hadn't expected Brook to actually jump down. This place was tens of thousands of meters high. If he jumped down like this, not only would Brook have no chance of resurrection, but even if he was given nine more lives, it would be useless. He would definitely die.
The envoy from the secret realm of the imperial mausoleum rushed to the edge and looked down.
Suddenly, a white light shot up into the sky, then drew an arc and fell down again.
"The fragments of the fallen divine weapon...this guy, huh!" The envoy from the Imperial Mausoleum Secret Realm understood, but he could only watch Brook leave, he had no other choice.
"The divine weapon fragment usually lasts for 2 hours. Of course, he can return early. However, if I were him, I would throw away the divine weapon fragment I just used and stay in the lower world of Marfa forever..."
He chased Brook for more than half an hour, even activating the sealing barrier, but Brook still escaped.
The Marfa continent is too far away, the detection necklace cannot find any trace of Brook, and the teleportation ring cannot teleport there either.
The envoy from the secret realm of the imperial mausoleum was a little overwhelmed.
"Sir! The safe zone is a bit chaotic now. Many people are fighting and making trouble in the safe zone. The safe zone is no longer safe, and the monks are very dissatisfied." The news came from the guards of Wolong Villa.
"Remove the blockade of the square's safety zone," said the Imperial Mausoleum Secret Realm envoy. The safety zone couldn't be sealed for long, or else chaos would ensue.
"Yes, sir. The barrier that seals random things..."
"The barrier will remain in place for two hours. Inform the monks."
After two hours, check Brook's location again. If he dares to return, the detection necklace will be able to find him. We can continue to hunt him down. If we can't find him, it won't be too late to remove the barrier.
Or there's no need to check at all. If that guy comes back, he'll go back to the nearest return point, which is Wolong Villa Square. Just send someone to monitor the square.
That guy said something about coming back to get the 1000 pieces of ore. It was just his usual trick of talking nonsense and disturbing people's minds.
Most likely, he won't come back.
"Sir, Wenren Tianxiang, the patriarch of the Wenren family, wishes to see you."
"Send someone to watch the square. If you see Brooke, report to me immediately. As for Wenren Tianxiang, have him wait! Tell him I'm out for something and won't be back in half an hour."
The Wenren family, a long-established aristocratic family, had made significant contributions to the Shenlong Empire. Wenren Tianxiang, a renowned master, was also a renowned expert twenty years ago. Unfortunately, he was now paralyzed, limited in mobility, and his strength had been greatly diminished. Such a has-been figure was no longer worth considering.
Wenren Tianxiang must have come to intercede for Brooke. Brooke made me chase him for half an hour; as for Wenren Tianxiang, I need to leave him alone for half an hour first.
The Imperial Tomb Secret Realm Envoy sat cross-legged on the edge of the 4th Rank Continent, meditating quietly with his eyes closed. Suddenly, a cold wind blew, bringing a chill.
It's already May, why is it still so cold? Damn it, I should have gone back to my room and waited. But the words are already spoken, so I'll just have to bear with it.
※※※※※※※
At this time, Brook was sitting cross-legged in the middle of the Phoenix Terrace, thinking.
His small divine weapon fragment can only last for 10 minutes.
After 10 minutes, should I return to the Dragon Empire or stay in this Marfa continent?
Going back is very risky.
If I stay here, I don’t know when I can return to the Dragon Empire.
The key lies in the Desolate Divine Weapon. If he has one, he can certainly stay and return to the Dragon Empire later. If he doesn't have one... he still has to go back. Because only in the Dragon Empire can one quickly improve their level, attributes, and strength.
Brooke had figured out a way to get back without being discovered, but he still had to test it.
There are still 8 minutes left for the magic weapon fragment. Let's go.
Brook found the Dark Lord and the Evil Centipede, killing them in a matter of seconds. Unfortunately, he didn't get any magical weapons like the Soul Devouring Staff or the Dragon Slayer Sword, but he did get a top-grade 3-10 Ancient Jade Scepter and 11 pieces of Purple Gold Ore.
Brook then teleported to the exit of the cave on the first floor, stepped back a few steps, and waited.
The mysterious old man walked in and looked at the cave with a puzzled look. He had just sensed someone was there, but when he walked in, he found nothing.
Was it an illusion? The mysterious old man turned around and prepared to leave. Suddenly, a voice came from behind him.
"Hello, senior. Which district is this?" Brook showed up and spoke.
The mysterious old man was immediately startled! If he had been teleported here randomly, there would have been a small circle of light under his feet, but this person's sudden and silent appearance really startled him.
Brook in front of him was wearing a lucky veil, and his equipment was obscured by the fog, making it difficult to see clearly. The mysterious old man looked at him warily for a while, not daring to neglect him, and said with a fist:
"This is Ludao, Area 42. Have you just arrived from the Dragon Empire?"
Brook couldn't see the mysterious old man's equipment either. The other party was obviously stronger than Brook, at least 5th level.
However, when Brook wore the invisibility ring, the mysterious old man at 5th level was invisible. Even if Brook moved back and forth in front of him, he remained invisible. As long as he wasn't running or casting a spell, the invisibility state wouldn't be broken. Brook was very satisfied with the invisibility ring's mobile invisibility function.
"I was just randomly teleported here. Excuse me, senior, do you have any of the Taoist's fallen divine weapons? I'm willing to exchange them with gems, crystals, or other items from the Dragon Empire."
"I'm sorry, we haven't seen any fallen divine weapons in our area for a long time." said the mysterious old man.
Brook kept calling him "senior" without sounding offensive. The mysterious old man really didn't have a fallen divine weapon, and that thing wasn't easy to explode.
"Okay, please give me a piece of cloth. I want to go out and take a look."
Brook walked out of the source of all evil and teleported directly to the city of Shabak.
Since there are no fallen divine weapons, we can only return to the Dragon Empire. But before leaving this area, we still have to try our luck.
If you don't have the Soul-Eating Staff, the Free and Easy Fan, or the Dragon Slayer, then just make a top-quality ancient jade scepter.
When we arrived at the blacksmith shop, the business seemed to be pretty good. Several alien warriors gathered in front of the shop where weapons were forged.
Brook had very limited time and had to cut the Gordian knot. So he went straight to the weapon master's shop.
"What are you doing here? Upgrading your weapons, get out and line up!" The weapon master was upgrading a crescent-shaped sword. Seeing someone intruding, he was very displeased.
Brook handed the purple gold ore directly to the weapon master.
"Purple gold ore!!" The weapon master's eyes lit up. He was an expert at identifying valuables.
"Master, if you can help me upgrade this bone jade scepter successfully seven times within seven minutes, I will give you all the remaining purple gold ores." Brook handed over the bone jade scepter and 7 pieces of purple gold ores.
"really?!"
"6 minutes and 58 seconds left."
The weapon master grabbed the bone jade scepter and 11 pieces of purple gold ore.
"I don't have black iron ore or magic jewelry," said Brooke.
"I have! Move aside, don't talk, and don't distract me! There are still 6 minutes and 45 seconds!"
The weapon master directly threw the half-upgraded crescent moon blade into the scrap pile next to him, and then started to bang the ancient jade scepter. His vigorous and efficient work attitude made Brook very satisfied.
"Hey! My crescent-shaped sword!" A wizard outside the stall was anxious.
"Shut up! I'll compensate you with a wand later!" The Weapon Master was even more anxious than him.
Outside the stall, several alien warriors looked at the Weapon Master and Brook who cut in line in astonishment.
Brook came over with a smile and said to them:
"Everyone, do you know anyone in this area who has a special ring? I'm willing to exchange it for a top-grade ancient jade scepter."
"What kind of ancient jade scepter?" someone asked.
"Probably... an ancient jade scepter with magic level 16 or 17." Brook said.
"17's Ancient Jade Scepter!! Where is it? Let me see it!"
"It's still being upgraded, and it will be available soon. Could you help me find out if anyone has a special ring, such as a paralysis ring, a resurrection ring, a teleportation ring, or a special necklace? If the information is accurate and the exchange is successful, I will give you a demon bell."
"real or fake?"
"Why can't I see your equipment?"
"He's still wearing plain clothes, and he's talking about giving me a demon bell. I don't believe him."
Several people whispered to each other, none of them believing it, except for the mage who had been cut in line and wanted to upgrade his Crescent Blade.
"I know a wizard friend who has several special rings. I'll ask for you." The Crescent Blade Wizard didn't actually believe in Brook, but he believed in the weapon forging master.
"Okay, thank you. But hurry up, I'll be leaving in a few minutes."
Five minutes later, a level 5 mage walked into the Shabak weapon shop. Brook took a look and saw that the man was wearing three artifacts!
Protection ring, teleportation ring, skill necklace.
"My friend is here, Brother Xia, here!"
"Yes, I saw it. This is the devil bell I promised to give you." Brook directly gave the thing to the Crescent Blade Mage.
"Ah! Thank you, thank you!"
"Do you have a level 17 ancient jade scepter? Let me see it." The wizard named Xiamen Anxia, who was carrying the artifact, walked over and asked.
"It will be upgraded soon."
"...Still leveling up? Oh my god, I came all the way back from Zuma's 7th floor, don't play tricks on me."
"I'm not kidding you. Master, is my weapon ready?"
"immediately!"
The weapon master hammered away, then picked up the jade and examined it carefully before handing it to Brook. "Six minutes! Seven successful upgrades! Hehe, fast, huh? You promised me the rest of the ore, and you can't go back on your word!"
"Master is amazing. I won't regret it. It's yours."
Brook looked at the Bone Jade Scepter. Hey, it wasn't Magic 17, it was Magic 18. One of the upgrades had skipped a point.
"I was wrong. It's an 18-yuan ancient jade scepter." Brooke and Xiamen Anxia initiated a transaction and placed it in the transaction column.
"Oh my god! Seriously?!" This is definitely the strongest mage weapon in this area! Xiamen Anxia was excited and asked, "How do you want to exchange it?"
This Xiamen Anxia didn't seem to be a shrewd person. Originally, Brook only wanted to exchange for one artifact. Judging from his appearance, perhaps he could exchange for more.
"Just exchange it for the three special equipment you have."
"No! I need it for protection and teleportation. Can I trade with you using another special ring?"
"You have anything else?"
"Yes! I have collected almost all the special rings in the district. I also have a flame ring, a defense ring, and a detection necklace."
A level 35 mage actually possessed so many artifacts. Even Brook found it incredible.
"...Then let's switch to the three you mentioned."
"Okay! Deal!"
Xiamen Anxia placed the flame ring, defense ring, and detection necklace on the transaction bar without hesitation, and then confirmed the transaction.
Transaction successful.
Brook was still a little stunned. He had just said it casually with the mentality of giving it a try, but he didn't expect that he would actually get three artifacts in return!
Xiamen Anxia was delighted. He considered the Flame Ring and other special rings rubbish. Only the Detection Necklace was somewhat useful, but not very practical. Now, he'd traded three useless items for the best Bone Jade Scepter in the zone. What a lucrative deal!
"Magic 18, hehe, this number is lucky! Perfect! I like it!" Xiamen Anxia looked at the bone jade scepter excitedly, and suddenly waved it at Brook, "Watch this!"
A lightning spell fell, but Brook was completely unharmed, without losing a single drop of blood.
Xiamen Anxia was stunned. Did he use the wrong attack mode? That's right. Oh, he triggered the magic to dodge it.
He certainly didn't intend to kill Brook. The weapon shop was a combat zone, but death wouldn't drop any equipment. He simply wanted to test the power of his lightning technique after getting a new weapon.
Xiamen Anxia wanted to shock Brook again, but he suddenly disappeared without a sound.
"Eh~ offline?"
Xiamen Anxia had no choice but to turn around and use his level 26 friend, the Crescent Blade Mage, to test its power. "Crack~" A bolt of lightning struck, instantly killing the level 125 mage with 26 HP.
"Damn, it's so powerful." The Crescent Blade Mage said as he lay on the ground.
"Haha, you are so good at beating people, shouldn't you be even better at beating monsters! The best magic wand in Ludao, so cool!" Xiamen Anxia said excitedly.
