It’s not that his Monster Skill wasn’t effective, but after the adventure in Dark Furnace City, Raine gained a deeper understanding of the saying, ’you never know which will co first, tomorrow or an accident.’
His purpose for going to Dark Furnace City was to acquire the Monster Skill from the Gray Dwarf Priest and, if conditions permitted, to secure the Forbidden Magic Helt.
But unexpected events occurred frequently.
The Any Door Scroll and his Monster Skill both played significant roles.
When one’s strength is not yet sufficient, buying Magic Scrolls just in case, Raine felt that this expense was necessary and shouldn’t be spared.
Additionally, he wanted to purchase the remaining two pieces of the Courage Set...
Everything required money.
Hearing Raine’s words, a glint of intrigue flashed through Tessa’s beautiful eyes.
"Wait, Mr. Rein, since you plan to sell those two swords, could you please introduce their special effects?" At this mont, the knight captain Weston suddenly inquired.
"Of course." Raine nodded.
Since the decision to sell was made, there was naturally no question of secrecy.
"Mr. Rein, let introduce them." Liya, standing nearby, smiled and took on the task of introduction voluntarily.
"Thank you."
...
After Liya finished her introduction, Weston’s eyes lit up and he said:
"Mr. Rein, I wonder if I could purchase them?"
"Naturally you can, but Mr. Weston’s longsword shouldn’t be an ordinary item, right?" Raine asked with so doubt, glancing at the luxurious jeweled-sheathed longsword on Weston’s waist.
"My current longsword is indeed quite good, but the combat skills I have recently mastered would be more powerful if paired with a weapon that has Piercing special effects."
"Although rare-tier magic weapons aren’t exactly scarce, those that specialize in one specific effect are very hard to find."
Raine nodded.
"Then it’s 850 gold, the association’s buying price, how does that sound, Mr. Weston?"
Hearing Raine’s offer, Weston shook his head.
Hmm?
Too high?
This left Raine sowhat displeased.
After all, the relationship between the two was not intimate, and this price, in Raine’s view, was already fair.
"Mr. Rein, 850 gold is the association’s purchase price, but in reality, if you commissioned it to auction, it would be at least a hundred gold higher. So, I cannot take advantage of you."
"Additionally, you get reward points for selling to the association. Although points cannot be exchanged reversely, the general value consideration is three-to-one."
"Two swords, 1,200 gold coins."
Hmm?
Raine was taken aback!
It was his first ti encountering a reverse offer.
This....
And the others, especially Elise, widened their eyes in surprise, looking at Weston.
In fact, upon hearing this, even Oliester, the Priest traveling with Weston, couldn’t help but cast several glances at Weston.
The always reticent Oliester, who had been acquainted with Weston for many years at the Marquis’s mansion, had never heard of Weston being so generous.
"Alright! Thank you for your generosity, Mr. Weston." After a brief consideration, Raine nodded with a smile.
"No need for formality." With that, Weston took out a gleaming crystal card from his waist pouch.
"This is a crystal card worth a thousand gold."
"And here is two hundred gold." Weston took a heavy black money bag from the hand of a nearby knight and handed it to Raine.
"Miss Liya, would you please help with the Dual Swords..."
As Raine was speaking, Weston waved his hand and said:
"No problem, I’ll head up to the second floor of the association later to find Miss Liya."
"Alright then!"
...
As Liya left, the discussion continued.
However, after this reverse offer, the atmosphere was naturally much more amicable than before.
Originally, Raine would have found it difficult to refuse outright.
At this mont, surprising both Raine and Benest, Tessa smiled and asked Weston:
"Mr. Weston, since the Marquis places great importance on that item, I assu he won’t be stingy with a generous reward, right?"
"Of course! The Marquis originally considered using the Adventurer’s Association for a bounty, but he didn’t want to disclose the details of the treasure." Weston imdiately explained.
"On the other hand, there was also the concern that adventurers might choose to use it for themselves upon obtaining it. So, the task fell to Oliester and to lead the search for it."
Use it for themselves?
Hearing these words, Raine raised an eyebrow.
Because this statent itself implied so specific aning.
