Chapter 243 A Bountiful Harvest
ColossusBattleBear and ScribeCharm saw Eric's smile and were very indignant because they took Eric's smile as a mockery and contempt, which made them very annoyed.
Although Eric's smile was not meant to mock them, it was simply out of pure joy.
However, compared to their initial meeting with Eric, ColossusBattleBear and ScribeCharm now had a few more traces of vigilance in their eyes and no longer dared to underestimate him.
To be able to pay up so many gold coins at once, it was hard to believe that Eric didn't have a powerful force behind him. They just didn't know what kind of force it was.
ColossusBattleBear's face was not looking good this time as he failed to complete the task assigned by the president, but there was nothing he could do about it.
135 gold, even if their entire Supremacy Alliance pooled all their gold, they couldn't match it, so it was normal not to be able to buy it.
Compared to ColossusBattleBear, ScribeCharm was in a much worse situation.
First, the transaction was botched, and then at the auction, they didn't manage to buy a single item. He didn't even know how to explain this to President, EchoofGlory, when he got back.
However, Eric was very grateful to ScribeCharm because it was thanks to ScribeCharm's greed that he managed to get a lot of forging materials.
The reason Eric was smiling was because that among the materials for making the Arcane Sentinel, the main materials were Mithril ore and gold ore. Eric could still get some Mithril ore, but gold ore was too rare. There wasn't much in the entire Eldoria, let alone Silvervale City. But Echoes of Dusk gave him quite a bit, enough for him to make many Arcane Sentinels. As for the other part of the materials, it was the Magic Spirit Crystal that the team dungeon boss would definitely drop. This item wasn't very precious, but the drop rate was low each time, making it difficult to mass-produce Arcane Sentinels.
In addition, the attributes of the Arcane Sentinel were excellent, exceeding Eric's expectations. He could already imagine how popular the Arcane Sentinel would be.
Arcane Sentinel, shield, Adamantite, equipment level 15, equipment requirement strength 90 points, defense 460, defense rate 37%, strength +15, stamina +25, evasion +8, with passive skill one Melody of Life, each time damage is taken, it gains a layer of life force, increasing maximum health by 3% and healing effect by 1%, lasting one minute, stacking up to 10 times, passive skill Twofold Refraction, triggers once every 30 seconds, can immune one instance of damage.
Not to mention the extremely high defense and defense rate, just the Melody of Life that increases maximum health by 30% and refraction greatly enhances the MT's endurance, not to mention the shield's basic attributes are very good, making it an absolute top-tier equipment.
If five or six MTs were actually equipped with this Arcane Sentinel, there would be a real chance of clearing the Common Level fifty-person team dungeon.
"It's time to go back." Eric was very satisfied with this trip to Shadowwing Citadel; it could be said to have been very fruitful.
First, he earned a contract worth fifty million credit points, then he got Rosewater to join them, and now he got the Arcane Sentinel. The most important point was that Rosewater brought over a hundred elite players, which greatly increased Eric's strength. The next step was how to make this work.
"Over a hundred people, Rosewater really did me a big favor. Now I don't have to worry about not having enough people for the Demonic Citadel." Eric felt that just the studio was no longer enough for him, he needed to make some preparations and start planning ahead.
After leaving the Shadowwing Auction House, Eric immediately mailed 300 gold to Rosewater and then returned to Silvervale City, preparing to wait quietly for Rosewater and her team at StellarTrails Emporium.
However, the money usually took half an hour to an hour to be received.
So Eric first went to the Adventurers' Guild.
Now, none of the guilds in Silvervale City have a guild residence. All the guild members come to the Adventurers' Guild to take on guild tasks to enhance guild honor and grow the guild. Therefore, the Adventurers' Guild has become the second most bustling place in Silvervale City.
As soon as Eric entered the Adventurers' Guild, his communicator rang.
"It can't be this fast, can it?" Eric thought it was Rosewater contacting him, but when he saw the ID displayed, it was Isabella, which surprised him slightly. "Could it be about the Arcane Armor Scales of the Ancients again?"
Last time, Eric used quite a few basic Arcane Armor Scales of the Ancients to exchange for several advanced Whetstone of Precision design blueprints for MelancholyGrin and Frost Coco to learn. During this period, both of them had become intermediate forging apprentices and were now sprinting towards becoming advanced forging apprentices.
It had to be said, the two of them were indeed future forging masters, improving at an extremely fast pace. The more they forged, the higher their success rate became. Now, when making advanced Whetstone of Precision, their success rate was around 20%, much higher than the Blacksmiths of other guilds. It wouldn't be long before the two of them would advance to become advanced forging apprentices, becoming Eric's true support.
"Ms. Collins, do you have new advanced Whetstone of Precision design blueprints again?" Eric asked.
"Blackflame, you've been hiding things from me. Such a big event and you didn't inform me, it makes me a bit sad." Isabella smiled faintly.
"Hiding? Ms. Collins, you must be joking. I'm very shallow and easy to see through," Eric joked.
"Alright, stop pretending. You made quite a splash at the Shadowwing Auction House earlier. The news has already spread among all the top-tier guilds. Each one wants to cooperate with you to purchase the Arcane Sentinel," Isabella chuckled. "We've been old partners for a while now, so you could sell it to me at a discount, right?"
"Ms. Collins, your information is really well-informed," Eric said with a wry smile. "I can indeed sell some Arcane Sentinels to you, but it must be paid in gold coins or exchanged with Magic Spirit Crystals obtained from team dungeons."
"Magic Spirit Crystals, although the Boss drops them every time, the drop rate is very low, and they have a wide range of uses. Let's use gold coins instead. How much do you want for one, Blackflame?" Isabella was very familiar with Magic Spirit Crystals, so she shook her head, not wanting to exchange them.
"Alright, I won't rip you off. As an Adamantite shield, you know the materials are very precious, and the success rate of making it is very low. One Arcane Sentinel for 25 gold, no bargaining," Eric knew Isabella wouldn't want to exchange, but using gold coins was even better.
"25 gold! Even our entire Devouring Serpents doesn't have that much liquid capital right now. Can't we use credit points instead? How about 500,000 credit points for one?" Isabella was also taken aback, but she knew the difficulty of making an Adamantite shield. If it were another Blacksmith, the cost alone would be higher than this. But now, taking out 25 gold to buy it was clearly impossible unless the guild stopped developing. But at this stage, not developing meant regressing, and they absolutely couldn't afford it.
However, all the guilds were now vying for the first clear of the fifty-person team dungeon. This Arcane Sentinel was a key opportunity, a must-have item.
Faced with a difficult choice, Isabella could only smile bitterly, feeling helpless.
"Alright, I'll use Magic Spirit Crystals to exchange," Isabella felt very helpless. The prestigious top-tier guild Devouring Serpents didn't even have as much money as a free player. Blackflame was simply a monster.
"Okay, the exchange ratio is 1 to 100. I'll notify you once I make them."
Eric smiled as he hung up the communicator, then he entered the Adventurers' Guild.
