Chapter 805: Sheyan’s true goal
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
At this moment, grandmaster blacksmith Mcgonigal Firestove grabbed the mithril and ruby that Sheyan produced and immediately gasped in shock.
"Ah, this is magic mithril! Its market value is twice of ordinary mithril, hey old man, don't you find this ruby rather familiar?"
The old dwarf, Takelin Tinsilk, wagged his butt as he ran over. His white braided beard was nearly touching the ground as he spoke.
"Why do I feel that this is…..Elendil's tears?"
The crowd broke into an uproar. Sheyan immediately felt something was amiss, it seems as though Saruman had done malicious deeds in the past to plunder these wealth. Even worse, the treasures seemed rather valuable and renowned. Nevertheless, he remained composed as he could easily blame everything on his high-god.....thus, Sheyan calmly replied.
"If there aren't any issues, I'm willing to sell them at the lowest cost as a gift for Mister Segimli's friendship. Right, since I've verified that this matter is no scam, can I get the twilight elf's tiara back?"
"No problem at all." Dwarven chief Gimli replied happily. He didn't show any resistance towards purchasing stolen goods and first allowed Segimli to return the tiara to Sheyan. Then, he produced a wooden case and retrieved a ring for Sheyan inside.
Upon receiving the ring, Sheyan was instantly notified that it was a unique storyline equipment that only storyline characters could adorn. But that was only natural as the mithril and others were all taciturnly understood as Melody's possessions.
The ring was called Fissure, with the property of enhancing spatial magic by 10% and increase mana cost by 5%.
Dwarf chief Gimli then ordered his underling to fetch a seemingly broken staff, in hopes that Sheyan would accept this sacrificial ritual. Sheyan hesitated a little before calling Elder Desirese Roots over who was gazing at the staff intently. Noticing the elder gazing intently at the staff with a vacant expression, Sheyan instantly knew what he should do...…
In the end, Sheyan was left with eight pounds of mithril and one pound of adamantium. He also retained his rubies, cat's eyes and sapphires, in exchange for a total of six spatial magic type artifacts!
Theoretically speaking, Sheyan didn't exploit this transaction and in fact made losses. Nevertheless, all of the dwarf's spatial magic artifacts were wiped clean. The dwarves of the Gimli clan glanced at Sheyan with resentment but could only sigh deeply.
Honestly speaking, the amount of mithril and adamantium they traded was adequate for them to forge an incomparably exquisite artifact. It wouldn't be an issue for them to display outstanding results during the Skifz Ascûd festival.
However, worldly desires could never be satisfied. Filled with insatiable greed, the dwarves of the Gimli clan wouldn't stop there. Since they discovered Sheyan who could provide them large amounts of mithril and adamantium, the naturally wished to go further and audaciously set eyes on the throne!
Hence, Gimli immediately requested Sheyan not to trade with other parties during this period of time. To compensate him, the dwarves would bestow a delightful surprise unto Sheyan.
Sheyan purposely tarried for a long while before nodding his heads when the dwarves were on the verge of tears. The top echelons of the Gimii clan hastily left; probably rushing to the nearest dwarven city to gather more resources.
They left behind 30 elite dwarven warriors that would heed Sheyan's commands, hailing Sheyan as a 'human who earned the eternal friendship of the Gimlis' thus vowing to protect him.
Sheyan tested a little and realized the elite dwarven warriors indeed obeyed his commands faithfully, not slacking off even one bit. However, Sheyan knew that should other dwarven clans step into his tent, the elite Gimli dwarves would proceed with two actions – either smashing the heads of the infiltrators, or smashing the head of the 'supplier'.
After acquiring another six spatial magic artifacts, Sheyan summoned all the elves and declared with a solemn expression.
"The following matter is of utmost importance. It not only pertains to your personal life and death, but also the fate of our Lordess twilight elf! Therefore, I pray none will speak falsehood and deceive me...…..now, whoever that can perform spatial magic in your midst, step out now."
Without a doubt, elder Desirese Roots stepped forward. The situation was much better than what Sheyan envisioned. Apart from the elder, there were four other elves that leaned towards that aspect. One must admit that the elves' long lifespan was truly an advantage. They could nurture many skills and hobbies for themselves.
Sheyan called them together and announced.
"During my past endeavors dispatched by my high-god to other dimensions, I made an exceptionally mighty ally in one particular dimension. A gift he bestowed, carries a strand of his spirit aura. Through that strand of spirit aura, will you be able to link me to my ally?"
Sheyan quickly received an answer. A seemingly young elf replied.
"Sir Protector, this matter isn't difficult. In truth, some elven summoners summon their creatures from other dimensions. If they were incapable of establish a link beforehand, the success rate of summoning arts would plummet substantially."
Sheyan coughed and continued.
"I need to emphasize this. My ally is exceptionally, supremely mighty."
"That is wonderful news, sir." The elf patiently praised. "A mighty creature normally possesses higher intellect. In this aspect, the mightier the creature, the more distinct its spirit glow will be when seeking it out. We will be able to easily locate the creature amongst the vast and obscure dimensions."
Sheyan stroked 'Ambition' and replied.
"I see. Then we will first locate a place with water. Only by interacting with a water source, can my friend's spirit aura be additionally distinct."
The group proceeded to advance and search, before arriving at the Orc's metropolis of the past.
This once grand metropolis was now a ruinous heap. One could still observe the aftermath of an incomparably vicious war through the destruction in this area.
Especially Saruman's wizard tower. It had completely crumbled into the ground, leaving a massive pit. The once sacred landmark of the orcs and uruk-hais, was now a common deep lake.
Sheyan surveyed the edge of the lake, discovering the pitch-black water that seemed to devour any sunlight into the deepest depth. Evidently, this lake was immeasurably deep.
Since he located a sufficiently large water source, Sheyan planned to immerse 'Ambition' into the water. By now, Elder Annenia Cyathea was pointing his magic staff at Sheyan. At beam shot out from his staff and onto the water surface on Sheyan's left.
A incomparably sharp silver beam shot out, resulting in a loud 'puchi' sound against the water surface. The resultant white splash towered several meters high as the murky green water was dyed mildly red. One could observe a strange creature, one that appeared like a hybrid between a fish and a lizard, rummaging within the waters and attempting to flee. A half-meter long horrifying wound could be seen across its left rib, as crimson red innards rolled out. The stench of blood permeated out, as similar species wrestled each other to feast. The once peaceful lake was now plunged into utter chaos; akin to a pot of boiling congee!
Witnessing this scene, the other elves wielded their longbows and took aim, before firing out. A congregation of arrows haled along rays of death as they drilled into the water and slew quite a number of these aquatic beasts.
"These aquatic beasts were created due to the leakage of dark magic and evil." Annenia Cyathea explained. "When we just begun seizing the dark tower in the past, the tower owner directly exploded the entire tower; resulting in this lake that we see now. All creatures that reside in this lake have been degraded by evil."
"The aquatic beasts were originally exceedingly avaricious and savage after the elves commenced their slaughter, each vying to fill their bellies. However, when Sheyan submerged 'Ambition' into the water, they dispersed without a trace. When a titanical phantom of Kraken Paul appeared in the lake, the lake became a pool of total silence. Only gasps and the heavy breathing of the surrounding elves could be heard.
Sheyan gazed at the overly confident elf wizard and ordered.
"You can begin. My time is precious."
The elf suddenly knelt to the ground with an embarrassed countenance.
"Forgive me, Sir Protector. I never expected that your ally's strength is so tremendous. To connect with such an invincible creature, I am truly unqualified. A forceful linking may lead to gravely wounding my own spirit!"
