Chapter 282 - Miscellaneous Card Deck
After the challenge match ended, the mercenary groups admitted their defeat and offered Rhode their equipment according to the agreement of their battle.
Of course, these people were divided into two groups. One group, led by Hiller, that hoped that Starlight could become a support for the Paphield region. Shearer even gave them the fire element giant sword that never left his side, expecting Rhode to complete his unfinished business.
“This sword is not of much use for me, so I will give it to you now… If you really can lead Starlight to victory, then I will feel really relieved.”
Hiller’s words were very sincere, but it was difficult for Rhode to be moved. He even wondered if Hiller targeted his mercenary group because he didn’t have many two-handed swordsmen, so he intentionally gave that sword to him…
Of course, people like Hiller were a minority. Just like in the game, it was very rare for them to give small artifact weapons; there were more accessories, cloak, and such, but that’s what he had been expecting. He actually didn’t really need artifact weapons because not many of his subordinates could use such weapons. Rhode had thrown a dagger to Joey after the warm-up match, which made Joey so moved that he knelt down and said he wanted to repay it with his life. Of course, Rhode didn’t agree.
Marlene didn’t need a weapon, and Rhode couldn’t find anything better than her family wand. As expected of a rich second-generation…
There were also some people were not very willing to give up their equipment and felt that they were wronged. Particularly, the leader of Mark White mercenary group, Hawk. He had bet an anti-magic shield, which was the treasure of their mercenary group. This was a powerful magic shield and its material was made from the famous obsidian. This material was able to completely seal off magical power. The Magic Association even used it to build a special prison for mages in an island. Once a mage entered that prison, any magic would be completely eliminated and sealed. Because of this, that material was rarely seen in the market since no mage would allow their weakness to be so easily gotten a hold of. Fortunately, this obsidian itself was very scarce. There was an obsidian mine located in the underground but besides mages, no one could easily enter a place which was filled with dark elves, dwarves, and underground monsters.
Of course, mages themselves wouldn’t be so stupid as to look for that place to die.
That’s why this material was very rare, and a shield made of this material was even rarer. Because of this, Rhode was a bit surprised when they handed over the shield, but after observing it carefully, it was indeed the anti-magic shield… This was certainly good news for him.
“Well?”
Rhode shifted his gaze towards a beautifully crafted ring. It looked very luxurious and beautiful, and it was inlaid with a hexagonal diamond in the middle. Rhode was mesmerized by its beauty, because it was almost impossible to craft something this beautiful out of a magical equipment forged with a magical array. Inside this pile of equipment, this brushed gold ring with luxurious design looked more like a wedding ring than a magical equipment.
What is this?
Rhode curiously stretched out his hand to pick up the ring, condensing his energy. Soon his power entered the ring. In general, when he did so, he would be able to find out the structure and attributes of the ring before him.
But this time, the system prompt that appeared before him made him surprised.
[?? Ring in a deep slumber]
That was all.
All?
Looking at the system prompt, Rhode didn’t know how to react. It didn’t explain anything at all. ?? What’s that? This situation usually only happened with magical equipment that had not been successfully appraised. However, besides the introduction, the attributes of the ring hadn’t even been shown. So how could it be a failure?
Just as Rhode was feeling puzzled, something in his pocket suddenly moved. Then, a black shadow suddenly flew out and hovered before him.
It was the Hell Soul Core.
