"Are you guys more pragmatic? You say you want to keep them as souvenirs, but in fact you don't care about them after putting them in the warehouse." The deputy leader shrugged, and seeing that Blaze was hesitant, he simply took a handful and handed it to Blaze.

"Here's one of mine. Consider it an exchange for your copper coins today."

Honestly, in Blaze's eyes, the Hunting God was a priceless treasure, and he was embarrassed to accept it. Fortunately, Herbie was there. Seeing Blaze's bewildered look, Herbie took the Hunting God's greatsword and then collapsed under its terrifying weight.

"Ah—I'm going to be squashed!"

"Hey!" Blaze quickly grasped the hilt of the Hunting God's Greatsword. The terrible weight made his expression change, but Hebi actually had the leisure to hang on the Hunting God's Greatsword and wink at him.

That look means that after you get the first one, the rest will be much easier.

Blaze rolled his eyes and tapped Herbie on the forehead. The little rascal then left the Hunting God Greatsword. Blaze took a deep breath and raised the Hunting God Greatsword with all his strength.

"However, this sword is a bit too heavy for a one-handed sword, or the handle is too short. It's okay as a two-handed sword."

"Right? You need at least 1200 Strength to lift it, and even more to wield it freely. Only a few in our guild can wield it." The vice-leader shrugged. "During the trial to obtain this sword, the holder will receive special protection. Even with a Strength of only 1, they can wield it freely, and it comes with numerous special abilities."

"But once the trial is over, the sword will just be a simple, heavy piece of iron."

"Really?" Blaze transformed into a silver werewolf, and at the same time switched the Hunting God Greatsword to his left hand, and slowly exerted force.

His forearm bulged, his grip increased, and cracks gradually spread from the hilt. It wasn't that it was about to break, but the immense grip had awakened the sword.

This is a weapon created to hunt giant gods. Only inhuman power can awaken its true power.

[Hunting Giant God 5%]

Bards sing of the Titans' greatness, blacksmiths carve their fury with their hammers. This sword lies dormant, uncorrupted and indestructible. The moment it awakens will be the moment to sever the Titan's head.

"Look, the pattern only reaches here." The deputy captain gestured to the location of the glowing pattern. "Only when it covers the entire body can this sword unleash its true power. But honestly, even if we became idiots with zero intelligence, we couldn't do it."

"Not to mention, this weapon can identify foreigners, so foreigners are no longer usable."

The deputy captain had already spoken to him, so Blaze didn't hesitate and accepted the Hunting God Greatsword. However, he couldn't use it for a while. He had just used [Ouroboros Growth], and even at its peak power, it could only awaken the sword by 5%.

However, the current proficiency of [Ouroboros Growth] is only F, and the proficiency of other percentage-enhancing attribute skills is not high either. It can be said that the future is promising.

Blaze's happy mood disappeared after he took two steps, and he pointed at a golden crown with his mouth wide open.

"You actually copied the Giant Kingdom's King's Crown. This is extremely disrespectful!"

"We have a lot here, do you want some?" The deputy captain covered his mouth with his hands, trying to hold back a laugh. It was obvious that the reaction of people who knew how important this crown was was the meaning of creating this crown.

Herbie's attention was drawn to a strange-looking long tube with a handle, a ring on the handle, and a strange protrusion inside the ring.

"what is this?"

Herbie picked up the cylinder curiously and looked at it with wide eyes, wanting to know what was inside.

"I can't see anything clearly. Oh, this protrusion seems to be movable. Is there some kind of mechanism?"

click -

ka ka ka-

Everyone turned around and looked at Herbie, who kept making the clicking sound.

"Don't play with other people's things. Where did you come from?" Blaze immediately walked up and wanted to take the long tube from Herbi Herbi's hand.

"What if this is some dangerous tool?"

"You're too cautious." Hebie curled her lips, but the strange expressions of the strangers around her made her feel uneasy.

"Isn't this a tool that will kill you after a few hits?"

"Well... I'll show you directly." The deputy leader took the long tube, grabbed a handful of black powder from the side and stuffed it into the long tube, and then stuffed a sphere into it.

This process was extremely tedious and complicated, and it took a lot of time. Herbie had to lean on Blaze and started yawning before the deputy captain finished it.

After finishing, the deputy captain grasped the handle, aimed the round hole at his forehead, and pressed the mechanism in the ring.

boom--

The loud noise scared Herbie, and Blaze opened his hand and grabbed a round iron ball.

"As you can see, this is a weapon called a gun that uses gunpowder to launch iron balls. It can only cause damage to monsters below LV10." The deputy leader put the gun back on the stand with regret.

Blaze patted Herbie's back in fear.

"You almost killed yourself just now."

"Oh, I know I was wrong." Herbie stared at the gun blankly.

Chapter 256 Eat everything to achieve balanced nutrition

"This is where we store our gold-winning items."

The deputy leader brought Blaze and Herbie to a magnificent hall.

The place where krypton gold props are stored is particularly important, so it is full of traps. In addition to the basic Gram, there are also gargoyles.

Although the word "ghost" is in the name of the gargoyle and the gargoyle looks like a devil, it is actually sent by angels to protect humans.

After entering the prop warehouse, even Herbie's eyes twitched. In front of him were piles of gold coins, and now there were piles of props, all of which were krypton gold props.

Among them, magical props such as the [Emergency Escape Device] filled one box after another like garbage, and on top of that were all kinds of exaggerated props, and mysterious potions filled one huge potion bottle after another that could soak Herbie in it.

【Leopard God Hood】

[A sacred beast-skin hood worn only by great warriors. It increases speed and faith, and can emit powerful rays from the eyes.]

In addition, there are special items that can speed up the chanting of magic, increase the MP limit, explosively increase strength, and other rich effects.

"This kind of krypton gold props may not be able to be copied." Herbie, who has a professional prop identification certificate (self-boasting), put on a pair of glasses and took the [Emergency Escape Device] to study it.

"It's made of a special metal, a metal not found in this world, and I'm afraid it's impossible to identify. I'm afraid only the legendary dwarf masters can crack the secret of this metal and replicate it."

"But it's different with potion-related paid items. Top-tier potion makers can analyze the ingredients and mix them simply by taking a sip... Why don't you do that?"

"Ah..." The deputy leader licked his lips and said awkwardly, "Because I didn't expect it."

After all, krypton gold props are a tradition that has been around for more than a hundred years. After getting them, people always think about how to use them, but never think about how to make them.

"Besides that... well, we can also make items that store large amounts of magic. We can also make different types."

After careful selection, Hebi divided the krypton gold props into those that can be copied, those that cannot be copied, and those that are too expensive to copy. The good news is that the krypton gold props that can be copied are all very practical combat props.

A recovery potion that does not cause drug resistance or accumulate toxins.

It has to be mentioned here that strangers don’t actually use recovery potions very often. The reason is that all medicines are poisonous. If you drink too much, you will lose more blood than you regain.

The most important skill is [Drug Resistance]. Drinking too much will cause you to become resistant to the corresponding drug, which means your recovery will be reduced and eventually become permanently ineffective. This is actually a variant skill of [Poison Resistance]. You can gain poison resistance by drinking poison, and drinking potions is also effective.

Therefore, strangers often use food to restore health.

However, the recovery potions among the krypton gold items are very special. They are perfect potions that are neither toxic nor cause drug resistance. The most important of these is the potion called the [Resurrection Potion].

This potion doesn't resurrect, but it does remove the buffed recipient's stats, which are reduced by half upon resurrection. Normally, this potion isn't particularly important, but in a war between strangers, where death is as simple as breathing, this potion becomes a strategic tool.

However, as the locals say, paid items aren't something you can get just by wanting them. They're only available during special festivals, and the Resurrection Potion is one of those items with a very subtle rarity.

If you want something, you will get one or two, but if you want a lot, you will not get any.

If this kind of krypton gold potion can be mass-produced, the members of the [Fairy Kingdom] will become a kind of immortal.

Therefore, as the party proposing cooperation, Herbie needs to conquer this prop first.

"Fortunately, our Chamber of Commerce has a lot of materials recently, and we have a large reserve of herbs, so we can try and error at will." Hebi touched his chin and entered the working state.

Originally, it was a difficult task to prepare a potion, as it required many samples and many materials.

The Fairy Kingdom's Resurrection Potion reserves weren't enough to waste in a Guild War, but they were enough to make a potion-mixing master vomit. And thanks to the Nemean Giant's exchange house, the Hermes Travel Cap had acquired nearly all of the world's material reserves.

"Oh right, this is the most important thing."

The deputy captain threw a sparkling object over, and Blaze reached out to catch it. It was a crystal necklace the size of a pigeon egg, with a drop of red water floating in the center of the crystal.

【Rebirth Teardrop Necklace】

The Phoenix, reborn from the ashes, symbolizes immortality, and its tears can bring the dead back to life. The Phoenix only sheds tears upon death, and those tears that bring new life are more than just tears; they are the very embodiment of the Phoenix's tears. When carried, they are automatically activated upon death, allowing for full health resurrection and countering instant-death attacks.

"This is a resurrection item. We've always wanted to provide some substantial help to our important allies."

"I am a blessed one. I can be resurrected even after death." Blaze fumbled with the crystal necklace in his hand and put it around Herbie's neck.

"What are you doing?" Hebie was startled. She was concentrating on thinking about something, but she didn't expect to be suddenly attacked by Blaze.

However, the pigeon egg-sized crystal necklace hanging around her neck still made Herbie's eyes sparkle.

"Ah! You finally gave me something valuable."

Without the blessing, Herbie, who could only rely on his eyesight and memory to identify props, had no idea what it was and simply thought it was a particularly expensive gem. However, because the crystal was so large, Herbie, holding it, looked like a child who had stolen his parents' pendant.

"You must treasure it and carry it with you. This is a precious item that only one of its kind exists."

"I know, I know, I will definitely wear it even when taking a shower." Herbie happily stuffed the crystal necklace into his arms.

The deputy leader who took out the second crystal was about to speak when the member next to him kicked him. The deputy leader was caught off guard and fell directly into the pile of gold coins.

"Sorry, Deputy Captain, I'll send as many as possible. This is the only way to ensure a balanced diet."

The sudden movement scared Blaze and Herbie. For some reason, the deputy leader only had two legs left in the gold coins, while the other members of the [Fairy Kingdom] were surrounding them with ambiguous smiles on their faces.

Chapter 257 Partners from the Same World

Five days later, the powerful flying brick finally appeared.

Blaze looked up and down at the powerful flying brick. Although his appearance did not change at all, there was a smile on his face that seemed to be radiating from the inside out.

That is a confident smile.

"Dali Feizhuan, have you had a good rest?" Blaze stepped forward to greet him, and Dali Feizhuan nodded vigorously.

"It's such a good rest. I can't even rest at home."

"Ugh?"

In short, after being instigated by the Supreme Prince, Dali Feizhuan really confessed his love to Kate Cat, and confessed twice. The second confession was so loud that his parents heard it outside the door.

As a result, Dali Feizhuan was kicked out of the house as a bad-intentioned bastard and now lives in Kate Cat's apartment.

"I'm a tall and strong man, but I became a gigolo, and this was the day after I confessed my love like a real man." Dali Feizhuan leaned against the wall, the smile on his face was empty and dull.

It turned out that it was not a smile of confidence, but a smile of self-abandonment.

"How should I put it, well, please be strong." Blaze patted Dali Feizhuan's back, using this method to give Dali Feizhuan some comfort.

"I hope it won't affect your condition in the next guild war."

Dali Feizhuan waved his hands, put his hands on his hips and straightened his chest.

"Don't worry, I'm very dedicated and will definitely do what I promised. I also heard that we need to infiltrate the Holy Cross Theocracy to investigate. Is there any possibility that it is related to the Supreme Prince?"

"It's not impossible. Those who expelled the High Prince must have known he was still alive, so they were definitely prepared. Perhaps this border blockade, ostensibly targeting Arcadia and the [Hermes's Traveling Hat], is actually a response to the High Prince's resurrection."

After learning about the blockade of the Holy Cross, Blaze's first thought was that the awakening of the Supreme Prince and his legion had been known by someone in the Holy Cross.

And the scope is narrowed down to the cardinals.

"But this will be a major battle. It might even turn into a war between two major regions..."

Dali Feizhuan pinched his eyebrows with a headache and told Blaze the reason for his headache.

This is related to the guild war mechanism, a points system where the big fish eat the small fish. No matter how big the guild is, it only has one point. This evolved into guild alliances, which directly increase the guild's points through cooperation.

The Fairy Nation was currently only allied with the Greenland guild, for a total of 2 points. Almost all of the guilds within the Holy Cross Church were affiliated with the Freemasons and the Brotherhood, and the combined alliance of the two guilds had over a thousand points.

Not to mention the previous session, generally speaking, everyone would slowly accumulate points, incorporate the defeated guilds into their own forces, and then have the final decisive battle.

If they were to start by targeting the Holy Cross guilds, it would be a bit... strange. This abnormal situation might attract attention.

"Well, if the blockade of the Holy Cross is related to the culprit who caused the upheaval thousands of years ago, then we must find that person as soon as possible."

No one knew how the man with hatred in his eyes could have caused such a huge upheaval. If it happened in an instant, there was nothing that could be done.

If it's something that requires a long time to prepare before it can be launched, then perhaps the coincidence of blocking the border during the guild war is just to delay time.

"Then we can only expand the size of our guild alliance as much as possible, quickly narrowing the gap with the Freemasons or the Brotherhood. But it's a bit difficult..."

Dali Feizhuan smiled bitterly, and Blaze also understood how difficult it was to do such a thing.

After Hebi knew that he had to use the guild war as a cover to enter the Holy Cross Kingdom, he had already investigated the two guilds, the Freemasonry and the Brotherhood.

The result was terrifying. These two guilds were created from the very beginning to form a united guild.
