Elf Kingdom: Game of the World Tree-Chapter 293 - 279: Can I Touch Your Equipment?

"This is... a Divine Artifact!"

When Cage saw the Lion Heart Sword for the first time, his eyes went wide.

As a merchant guild president, having a keen sense of appraisal was essential, and with just one glance, Cage could identify the exceptional nature of the Lion Heart Sword.

"That’s right! This is indeed a Divine Artifact!"

Demacia gloated,

"This is a Divine Artifact taken by our ancestors from the Half-Beast, named the Lion Heart Sword."

"The Lion Heart Sword? The very sword that symbolizes the Royal Power of the Half-Beast? You actually managed to snatch it away?"

Cage couldn’t help but exclaim.

Even though the Half-Beast’s strength wasn’t strong, they were still a considerable force, and beyond that... there was also a True God backing them.

"Ahem, it’s precisely because it was seized from the Half-Beast that we need to sell it off!"

Demacia said with a wink.

Cage looked at him in surprise and suddenly understood,

"You want to sell it to us?"

"What else?"

Demacia said nonchalantly.

Cage was tempted.

A Divine Artifact!

This was indeed a Divine Artifact!

Although not of the highest level, it was still undeniably a Divine Artifact with significant symbolic value!

This was the Royal Sword of the Half-Beast!

In an instant, Cage had already figured out what to do.

He decided to get his hands on this weapon and then sell it back to the Half-Beast at a high price!

After all, Sorren Commerce had business dealings with the Half-Beast before.

This way, it would build goodwill and also earn a small profit!

"Name your price,"

he said.

Demacia grinned,

"Hehe, the same as before, we don’t want money this time either."

"Hmm? Then what do you want?"

Cage narrowed his eyes slightly.

Demacia grinned, revealing his cards,

"Does your guild... have any space equipment?"

"Space equipment?"

Cage was momentarily stunned, then nodded,

"We do have quite a few. So... are you planning to trade for space equipment?"

"Really?"

Demacia looked delighted, but he quickly hid his expression and became indifferent again,

"That’s right, we intend to purchase more goods in the empire this time. Since we’re short on portable space equipment, we’re looking to acquire some. Hmm... how about it? How much space equipment can we get for this Lion Heart Sword?"

"How much?"

Cage gave Demacia a peculiar look and shook his head,

"Mr. Demacia, it seems you don’t understand the market for space equipment. Although the Lion Heart Sword you offer is a Divine Artifact, it is only of Silver level, and even though it is the Royal Sword of the Half-Beast, its price is quite limited..."

"Of course, that’s only in relation to space equipment."

"Space equipment is something that only High Order Mages can create! Even with this Lion Heart Sword, it’s still not enough to trade for a high-quality piece of space equipment."

Cage explained.

"I see..."

Demacia seemed a bit disappointed.

"Of course, that’s just according to our guild’s standards. Even if the quality of our space equipment isn’t very high, it is considered top-notch outside."

Cage added with pride.

Demacia’s interest was piqued,

"Then... what can we exchange it for?"

Cage pondered for a moment and said,

"If you only want to exchange for one, you can get one with a ten cubic meter space. Such a space equipment is the best our branch has to offer. Of course, if you lower the standards, you can trade for more."

"What’s the minimum standard?"

Demacia asked again.

"One cubic meter, and you could trade for about eight of those, but I think that size might be too small for you."

Cage shook his head.

Upon hearing this, Demacia’s smile suddenly became much friendlier,

"Uh... may I take a look at the types of space equipment you have?"

"We’d like to visit your warehouse to compare, and then make a decision. Besides... if there’s something we have our eyes on, we might want to purchase it as well."

After listening to him, Cage glanced at Li Mu, who nodded in agreement.

After hesitating for a moment, Cage said,

"Then follow me."

With that, he led the two out of the commerce guild hall and towards the warehouse.

Sorren Commerce’s warehouse was located in the heart of their guild premises.

Upon arriving there with Cage, Demacia and his companion immediately sensed several immensely powerful auras.

Those were the strong protectors specifically guarding the warehouse of Sorren Commerce’s Fengye City branch, possessing Silver Upper level strength.

Of course, given the background of Sorren Commerce, usually no one dared to provoke them.

The two players observed closely for a moment, then followed Cage into the warehouse of Sorren Commerce.

Once inside, they were astounded by the vast array of goods on display.

The warehouse had dozens of rows of shelves filled with magic artifacts, equipment, scrolls, potions, special materials, and everything else imaginable.

"Wow! So much stuff!"

Demacia marveled.

"Of course! We are Sorren Commerce!"

Cage said proudly.

"High-level scrolls! They have high-level Magic Scrolls here!"

Demacia’s eyes lit up, and he couldn’t resist reaching for an exquisite scroll on the shelf, startling Cage,

"Don’t touch! Don’t touch! If you damage it, we’re done for!"

However, Demacia was unfazed,

"No worries, no worries! I know a bit about magic and won’t mess things up! I’m just curious! Want to touch it!"

With that, he marveled as he felt the scroll,

"Such exquisite craftsmanship, such intricate patterns, truly worthy of the legendary Sorren Commerce. So many scrolls!"

Hearing such praise from Demacia, Cage’s expression relaxed quite a bit.

He watched Demacia closely, and when he saw that Demacia only touched the scroll for a moment before reluctantly putting it down, he finally let out a sigh of relief.

But Demacia didn’t stop there.

After feeling the first scroll, he reached for another high-level Magic Scroll,

"Wow! This one’s nice too! It’s even a rare space Teleportation Magic! Sorren Commerce truly has deep pockets!"

"Stop touching, come check out the space equipment."

Cage gave him a helpless glance.

"No worries, no worries, I’m just touching, just touching... Lord Cage, you see, when I encounter precious things, I just like to touch and play with them. Please don’t hold it against me, grant me this little wish."

With that, he winked at Li Mu,

"Lord Li Mu, come check it out for yourself. This scroll feels amazing in your hand."

Li Mu: ...

"What kind of mischief are you up to?"

He typed in the chat channel.

"Binding, Brother Mu! These are all valuable items! We need to bind them quickly, so that when we die, they’ll all be ours!"

Demacia replied excitedly.

"Damn... you’re quite the genius!"

Li Mu’s eyes lit up.

So, Cage watched in amazement as the ever-polite Li Mu quickly joined Demacia’s antics.

"This scroll feels amazing! Truly high-end goods!"

"This equipment is nice too! It’s actually Silver Upper level equipment! Hmm? There’s even a special effect, a magical item!"

"Let me touch! Let me touch!"

"Oh? There’s magic gold stone here! I’ve heard it’s a material for crafting Divine Artifacts! The real kind of Divine Artifact!"

"Oh? Is this a dragon scale? It’s red, and it’s larger than the one we have at home. It appears to be from an adult Red Dragon."

"Dragon scales are boring, stop touching them."

"This potion is nice too! It can instantly replenish mana without side effects!"

"Haha, there are even magic potion recipes here! Unfortunately, the box is sealed, so we can’t open it to see inside. Let’s just touch the box."

The two touched the shelves as they exclaimed and marveled.

Watching the two young nobles wandering around the warehouse touching everything in sight, Cage was dumbfounded.

He couldn’t help but carefully observe, discovering that the two had indeed only touched the merchandise without doing anything inappropriate, and finally, he remained speechless.

After the two had touched nearly half of the warehouse, they finally stopped, though somewhat reluctantly.

"Had your fill of touching?"

Watching the two, Cage couldn’t help but roll his eyes.

"Sigh... I’m too tired to touch more, and we still need to check out the space equipment."

Demacia lamented dramatically.

Cage: ...

What a mess.

Truly two peculiar characters!

If it weren’t for the fact that he had to make a major business deal with them, he’d have wanted to kick them out.

They were anything but aristocratic just now!

Cage shook his head, then retrieved a luxurious wooden box in which thirty or so rings lay quietly.

"These are all the space rings we have in our branch’s inventory. Take a look and see which one you like. I’ll then provide you with the specific price,"

Cage said lightly.

Demacia eagerly accepted the wooden box, unable to wait,

"Let’s touch and feel first! Whichever has the best feel, we’ll pick that one!"

Cage: ...
