The 20th Section: The Treasure Fighting Assembly (2)
"How could this be? So those few magic swords that were auctioned off were yours?" the clan leader said.
"Do you know?" I asked in surprise
"Of course, with the advent of new-style magical weapons, we dwarves were among the first to know about them. Unfortunately, we've never been able to get our hands on one. Quick, let's take a look!" Several people rushed over and began studying it intensely.
"Ah~ So it's the magic array and crystal on the sword body! But how did you manage to put them there? It's possible to engrave on armor, but on a sword, not only is there not enough space, even if you force it, the sword's strength would be gone! And yet this sword's strength is clearly very high?" The master said first
"Yes! How did this happen?" The tribe leader was also very puzzled.
"Cough, cough!" The poor Daoist coughed twice: "Can the few of you please hold back for a moment? It's time for me to take a look at the dwarves' treasures, isn't it?"
"Haha, of course, I didn't expect you to come up with something so fierce right away. I need to think about how to suppress it!" The clan leader stroked his beard and said: "I've got it, let's use this one!" After finishing speaking, he took out a silver sword that shone brightly from the spatial ring on his body and handed it to me!
I took it in my hand and was shocked! "It's actually a pure silver sword! And the hilt is made of a radiant magical crystal, so big and so pure, absolutely stronger than the magic core of a 9th-level superior demon beast! You guys have no technical content at all, you're just bullying me with materials! What kind of sword is this? It's clearly a mountain of gold!"
This Mysterious Silver has an annual output of less than ten catties across the entire continent, with high density, hardness and toughness, making it a top-notch material for crafting weapons. Unfortunately, it's extremely rare. This thing is a natural magical amplifier, especially for light-based spells, which can be amplified by more than double. Normally, just a small amount the size of a soybean is mixed into a sword, and its ability to restrain undead creatures is quite significant. It can also detoxify and defend against curses, making it worth hundreds of millions in price.
But this sword uses a full fifteen catties of pure Mysterious Silver, which is absolutely priceless! And this piece of light-based magic crystal, about the size of a pigeon's egg, emits an aura of light that can be felt from afar. I'm afraid only the one on the Pope's crown might be larger than this? However, in terms of purity and magical content, it doesn't compare to this piece.
Light-based magic stones are originally rare, but no matter how you look at it, this one is worth at least tens of millions!
"Hehe, little friend! We're comparing treasures, not skills! Besides, that magic sword of yours wasn't made by you, was it? This sword of mine may not be a divine artifact, but when it comes to dealing with evil undead mages, it's even more effective than a divine artifact! Isn't that right?"
"Right!" I gritted my teeth and said
"Heh heh, you admit it's good, don't you? Do you have anything better than that? If not, then your magic sword is mine!"
"Of course!" I took a deep breath and handed him "Dragon's Roar", saying: "Take a look!"
"'Roar of the Angry Dragon'" is indeed a masterpiece of the dwarves, he recognized it immediately, "I said how did you have such confidence? It turns out that this thing was backing you up?"
"Haha, not bad!" I laughed.
"I'm even more surprised that you suddenly wanted to make a bet with me. It turns out that you were confident of winning and intentionally came to trick my treasure, right?"
"What's wrong? Who made you laugh at me, a young and inexperienced kid? I was just momentarily angry, but I didn't mean to take advantage of your treasure! Besides, I don't believe that with thousands of years of collection, you can't bring out a single divine artifact?"
"Divine artifacts exist, but divine artifacts of this level really don't!"
"Then give me the 'Golden Mountain' in your hand!" Hehe, this time I'll make a big profit!
"I'm afraid you're going to be disappointed!" The master said coldly
"What's wrong? Are you trying to welch on the deal? No way?" I exclaimed in surprise.
"Dwarves never go back on their word, and we still have one thing left!" The master said to the tribal chief with a wry smile: "We can only take that thing out now, otherwise our loss will be too great!"
"Could it be that the two lost, top-ranked divine artifacts are with you? In that case, we can at most end in a draw?" I asked doubtfully.
"It's not those two, it's another one, much stronger than yours, you've lost for sure!" The master said confidently.
Right away, my mom pinched my ear and said, "You little stinker, how dare you steal Grandma's things! If you lose, just wait and see me flay your skin!" My mom said viciously to everyone, meaning that the thing was stolen, so losing doesn't count!
"What a poor Daoist! Who can afford to lose? I said loudly: "Mother, you don't know, Grandma has already given it to me. If I lose, I will definitely not renege on the debt!" Everyone understood what I meant. Mom was so angry that she let go of my hand and ignored me."
The master nodded and said, "Good man, you have a broad mind at such a young age, your future is boundless! However, rest assured that we don't want your divine artifact, what we really want is the magic sword. For us, the craftsmanship of artifacts is more important than the artifact itself!"
"Haha, Master is overpraising me. Regardless of winning or losing, I'll give you this sword!" With that said, I handed the sword to the master.
Master received it and said: "Hehe, thank you so much! This thing is in the secret room, let's go with me!"
Everyone followed the master to the bottom floor's underground secret chamber. Here, there was only one large iron-cast square table, and on the table lay a gigantic battle knife.
"It's it, the treasure we occasionally discover is absolutely more powerful than a divine artifact!" said the tribe leader.
"This sword looks familiar no matter how I look at it. The blade is over two meters long, the hilt is one foot five inches, and the width is about one foot. The back of the blade is straight, like a magnified version of an Eastern sword! The material is clearly Nine Heavens Profound Iron! And it's been forged using the sacred methods of the Immortal Family! But this is too mysterious... I remember that even in the Immortal Realm, Nine Heavens Profound Iron is extremely rare? In this world, I've never seen a single piece! This Nine Heavens Profound Iron has high hardness and toughness, making it suitable for crafting swords. However, it naturally repels Daoist techniques, so the sword can easily pierce through protective barriers set up by Daoist methods, but it cannot be used to control flying swords or create magical artifacts. Moreover, it's extremely heavy! Not many people use it! This sword should be made of pure Nine Heavens Profound Iron, which means it must weigh at least several tens of thousands of kilograms. No wonder they're using a solid iron block as a table to hold it! There's not even a single character on the surface... this is driving me crazy! Maybe there's still hope for me to return?"
"What's good about this thing?" Mother asked.
"Haha, this baby is invincible, even our treasured divine artifact was damaged in the battle against it!"
Nonsense! Is Nine-Heavened Xuan Iron so easy to bully? In the entire Immortal Realm, there aren't even ten weapons that can chop it open a small slit.
"Excuse me, where did you get it from?" I asked.
"To the west, in a place over 1000 li away, there is a lake with an area of several hundred li. Over 2500 years ago, that place was still dry land, and our ancestors found a giant dragon's skeleton there, three times larger than usual. The bones had all fossilized, and on its head was inserted this strange weapon. Our ancestors used great effort to transport it back. Don't underestimate it - it weighs over 100,000 jin! We tried every method to melt it down, but even when the tribal chief at that time swung the divine artifact 'Dwarf King's Fury' battle-axe at it in a fit of rage, the axe was dented, but not a single mark was left on it. That's why we think it's even more powerful than a divine artifact! What do you say?" The master asked his mother
"Really can't break it?" Mom asked
"Alright princess, if you can leave even a grain-sized mark on it, we'll admit defeat in this wager!" the master said with certainty.
"I'm too tired to chop!" Mom said cunningly
"You can certainly use magic, or any other method for that matter. Well, in that case, you can even invite your mother the queen to come and help you!" The master said with a knowing smile.
"How can you be so sure? My mother is contracted with the Fire Spirit King and can use fire forbidden spells, that temperature can even easily melt the Golden Silver!" Mom asked strangely.
"Heh heh, actually we once mentioned the previous generation's Spirit Queen Her Majesty, she used a 15th level Super Forbidden Spell to blast this thing, just like you see it now, and it was unscathed!" The master explained.
Mom forced a laugh and said, "How would I know?"
"This was over 2000 years ago! And at that time, the Elf Queen promised to keep it a secret!"
Poor Dao heard this, his heart was cool and cool! White sword was in vain, and a golden mountain disappeared before his eyes.
There was once a golden mountain in front of me, but I didn't cherish it! If another golden mountain is placed in front of me again! I will definitely seize it! If you ask me how long I want to own this golden mountain, I hope it's... ten thousand years! Oh! Golden mountain, grant me strength!
