Chapter 264: Set Off

Ice Break, level four medium rank magic sword, bonus damage of ice and acid, balance improvement. Jacob had spent almost ten thousand Thales on it, however, in the last fight of his life, he did not even have a chance to draw the sword.

Lucien picked up the sword from the floor and slightly shook his head. The sword was glowing in a greenish-blue light. Together with the armor named Demon Soul, the ring named Punishment, which could cast Lightning three times a day, and some gold coins and gems worth around forty Thales, Lucien put the sword and other trophies into his magic storage pouch.

To collect the pieces of equipment, Jacob made countless filthy smuggling deals. Now they all belonged to Lucien. However, Lucien was not planning on using them, because some nobles in Schachran Empire could probably recognize them, which definitely meant unwanted trouble. Therefore, Lucien was going to have Leo sell them.

The unicorn necklace was an exception. Because a necklace could be very unnoticeable if it was properly hidden, Lucien was going to ask Leo to wear it to be immune to mental spells. This was good for both of them. And because Lucien was wearing Sun’s Corona, he could not wear the two items together.

Collecting trophies made Lucien quite cheerful. He put back the crystal ball in his pocket—many astrology spells, due to the mysteriousness of destiny, still required casting materials when used. Maskelyne’s Star was a typical example. And Astrology was not alone here. Other schools of magic also had this kind of special situation. Therefore, the completion of building a magic model in one’s soul did not always mean that the caster would never use the corresponding casting materials.

With a flash of magic waves, Lucien’s figure quickly disappeared and he secretly left the villa.

The basement of the common-looking house was one of Leo’s secret hiding places.

“Mr. Peter, Jacob’s death had made a great stir in the city. The suzerains have started fighting against each other for Jacob’s land, wealth and resources, and the issue has been brought to the City Lord Meeting. Some nearby ancient sorcerers have also arrived here. They hope to join the East Haven’s meeting to share the wealth.” Leo, although there was no one else around, still carefully called Lucien’s fake name.

Lucien was a bit surprised, “Is Jacob that wealthy? I did not find too many valuable items on him.”

Leo answered, like a real butler, “Because most of the earnings of Jacob’s manor had to go to the nine city lords. He also had to buy lots of precious materials for improving the power of his own Blessing such as Moonlight Stone and werewolf blood… plus his extravagant way of living, he could only use probably one tenth of his wealth to buy magic items. Also, high level magic items are very precious in the East Haven, and in most cases, the items would go to the city lords. Finding a level four or five magic item is already hard, not to mention finding a suitable one. So it took Jacob several years to gather his whole set of equipment.”

Lucien slightly nodded. This was one of the major advantages of joining the Congress of Magic and the Will of Elements. As long as he had money, there were always great magic items there for him to choose. Every time Lucien went to the congress’s Exchange Zone or the Demiplanes Warehouse of the will of Elements, he wanted everything there and he always had a difficult time making decisions.

“What about the nine city lords? Did they say anything?” this was what Lucien cared about the most.

Leo, wearing the makeup of an old man, shook his head, “Mr. Peter, no one has heard anything from the City Lord Meeting yet, but the owner of the bar told me that the city lords’ people have only been there once for investigation, and no order for arrest has been released yet. The several suzerains claimed that Jacob and Warren were killed by the Congress of Magic, and this has nothing to do with the East Haven. According to the local law, it was totally fine for them to fight for Jacob’s wealth.”

“I see. Anyway, we shall still wait for a few more days to make sure we’re safe before we set off for Schachran Empire.” Lucien nodded, “Can you please find a way to secretly sell the magic items and use the money to buy a level four or five magic sword?”

“Mr. Peter, you’ll at least suffer a twenty percent loss in a hurry trade, and a level four or five magic sword is quite hard to find. I cannot promise that I can find you a good one.” Leo was straightforward.

“Not a problem.” Lucien smiled and adjusted his monocle, “This is just for temporary use, as long as it doesn’t have a high requirement on the user’s strength, agility and willpower.”

When they were in Schachran Empire, Lucien wanted to try his best to avoid using magic, therefore, a powerful magic sword became really important. Lucien did not really care about the features of the sword, since he was going to sell it when he got back to Allyn later anyway.

“As you said.” Leo slightly bowed and left the the basement.

A few days later, in the early evening, Leo came back with a fancy sword inlaid with rubies.

“Mr. Peter, this is your magic sword. Level four high rank. Twenty three thousand Thales. After selling Ice Break, Demon Soul, the ring and the gold and gems, you have one hundred and sixty Thales left.” Leo handed the sword to Lucien, and he also showed Lucien the evidence that he did not make up the prices and profit from the trades.

Lucien drew the sword and gently stroke it. The sword felt cold. Although the major body of the sword looked rather simple, the hilt was very sophisticatedly designed and it was covered with complicated patterns.

Following the method that he learned from Natasha, Lucien easily left his own power in the sword, and he got the message from the dwarf maker:

“Frost, level four high rank. Built by the special material called Jade Ice found from the deep Northland. The sword can slow down your enemy with freezing damage when it hits the target.

” Everyone likes fighting with an enemy who gets slower and slower! — Adaaran, the Copper Hammer”

The most outstanding feature of the sword was the fact that it could slow people down, but that was it. This was also the reason why Jacob chose Ice Break.

Lucien wielded the sword and felt the power in it, as much as that of a level four knight. And then he put the sword back into its scabbard, and hung it on one side of his waist — Alert was on the other side.

Lucien did not take a single look at the evidence but directly ruined it, “I trust you, Leo. And as a sorcerer, I also have a rough estimation of its value. Is there anything going on outside?”

Leo was a bit excited about Lucien’s trust, “Mr. Peter, I have confirmed it with Mr. Valentine and the owner of Taran. The nine city lords have connived at the fact that the suzerains can take Jacob’s wealth and land, and they have announced their final decision after contacting the Congress—what happened was due to Jacob and Warren’s personal conflict with the Congress, so the city lords and the East Haven will not get involved in this. This is over.”

Lucien had this feeling that the nine city lords had more or less of a connection to the Congress. It was not easy for the East Haven to remain neutral among this many powers.

Lucien stood up, “Leo, there’s no moon tonight. We shall set off.”

In the darkness, Flame Fortress was like a giant dragon safeguarding the best entrance of the mountain range. The rest of the places were full of terrible monsters, deep forests and snow cliffs.

Lucien, taking Leo with him, was right now flying in the night sky, as if they were part of the darkness.

According to the information they had, Lucien avoided the magic circles for the purpose of guarding in the sky and the patrolling routine of the airships, Lucien easily went through the fortress. They did not land until they arrived at a small town in Schachran Empire.

Without special magic or divine spells, there was no way that one could fully block the endless sky!
