NCCnovel Chapter 35 Artifact
Chapter 35 Artifact
After Jin Hu agreed, Howard naturally would not refuse. He had been coveting Jin Hu for a long time. In the soul contract magic circle set up by Andrew, the two parties signed an equal contract.
With Jin Hu following her, Janice felt more at ease. A dozen days later, Howard joined a mercenary team in the imperial capital. The strength of this mercenary team was not very strong, and the captain was only a peak level 8 warrior. There were not many people, including Howard, there were only twelve people, three of whom were magicians. However, they had a good reputation, and their families were all in the imperial capital. At least, by joining them, Howard didn't have to worry about being shot by his own people.
Soon, the mercenary team had a mission to capture a Earth Dragon Beast in the Monster Mountain Range.
Adult Earth Dragon Beasts are level 8 magical beasts, earth-type, with strong defense, but very slow speed. Moreover, Earth Dragon Beasts are solitary. In fact, this mission is not dangerous.
Howard left the imperial capital with his team. On the day he left, Janice personally sent him out of the city and even shed tears. Andrew, who was standing next to him, watched and couldn't help but ask himself whether he was right or wrong.
In the following days, the atmosphere in the mansion was somewhat dull, especially for Janice. She complained to Andrew several times that they were a good family, but now Howard was gone, Ling'er was studying at the Grace Academy and rarely came back, and Andrew was devoted to cultivation all day, leaving her alone with nothing to do.
Faced with her complaints, Andrew could only smile awkwardly. There was nothing he could do. Janice really didn't like practicing. For her, living happily with her family was the greatest satisfaction.
"I just want this happiness to last longer." Andrew said to himself.
Half a month later, in the backyard of Lance Mansion, Andrew, who was honing his fighting spirit, suddenly let out a long howl, which startled Janice and Ada. They hurried over.
"Andrew, what happened?" Janice's voice came before she even arrived.
Andrew was standing in front of a giant stone sculpture with his upper body naked, his face full of excitement. Just now, when he made the last cut, he was suddenly shocked, his fighting spirit broke through, and he couldn't help but shouting, venting the joy in his heart.
"It's okay, it's just a breakthrough." Andrew put on his shirt happily and said to Janice with a smile.
"Breakthrough?" Janice was not happy at all, but rather a little resentful. "Are you going out too?"
Andrew stopped moving, looking a little embarrassed. In fact, Janice had guessed right. He really wanted to go out for training. After all, although his fighting spirit had broken through, his realm had not improved much. If he wanted to master the "momentum", he had better go out for a fight.
"Alas, your father is gone, you are leaving too, Ling'er is not coming back, and Ada and I are the only ones left in this huge house..."
Andrew really didn't know what to say, and could only smile bitterly: "Who told you not to like cultivation? I work so hard just to be able to get the godhood for you in Beirut..." Unfortunately, he could only say this in his heart.
Janice's sadness did not stop Andrew from his plan, and he went out that afternoon. This time, he planned to find a weapon for himself.
After wandering around the imperial capital for a long time, Andrew was a little disappointed because he didn't find the weapon he wanted.
"The military power in this world is very strong, and there are many kinds of weapons. However, the one that suits me best is probably the sword. The fusion of fighting spirit has strong explosive power, and only a sword can bring out this characteristic to the extreme..."
Andrew knew that a suitable weapon was very important for a warrior, so he had thought about this issue for a long time.
"I used to use a long sword. A long sword is good for chopping, but it limits the speed and lacks sharpness. Now, my understanding of power has reached a certain level, and I must choose a weapon for my future practice."
Weapons are the companions of warriors. For beginners and intermediate warriors, as long as they can show their strength, it doesn’t matter what weapon they choose. However, for advanced warriors, weapons often represent their martial arts.
For example, Paulette and Howard have similar martial arts, and both chose the heavy sword. In the original book, when Linley practiced the wind law, his weapon of choice was the "Remaining Shadow". In fact, his choice was inseparable from the purple blood soft sword. In the earth law, the weapon he used was the heavy sword.
Andrew's fighting spirit is a fusion of thunder and fire, so the weapon he chooses must take into account the characteristics of the fusion fighting spirit.
"The fusion of fighting spirit has strong explosive power and great power. When I choose a weapon, I don't need to pursue weight, as long as it is strong and sharp enough."
Andrew already had an idea, and with the last glimmer of hope, he walked into a weapons shop called "Blood Peak".
This weapon shop was not big, and there was a lazy drunk sitting inside. The drunk didn't seem to notice Andrew's arrival, or he noticed but didn't want to pay attention. This attitude was already bad. Unlike other weapon shops, as soon as the customer came in, someone would immediately serve him.
Andrew didn't care about his attitude. Everyone had their own way. He was just a guest and had no right to ask others for anything.
"Are you the boss here?" Andrew asked as he walked up to the drunk.
The drunk opened his right eye slightly: "Yes. Boy, are you here to buy weapons?"
Andrew nodded, looking at the weapons hanging on the wall, feeling a little disappointed. These seemed to be no different from other weapon lists.
"If you want to buy weapons, you'd better go somewhere else. We don't have the magical weapons you want here." The drunk man seemed confused, but he accurately grasped Andrew's mentality with just one glance.
Andrew turned his head and said with a smile: "You are really a strange person. You open the door for business and push customers out."
He looked at the drunkard. He was a middle-aged man in his thirties or forties, with messy brown hair and unkempt beard. He looked extremely sloppy.
"Besides, I didn't say I wanted to buy some magic weapons. But after listening to what you said, I feel that although your shop is small, it hides some magic weapons!"
"Hahaha!" The drunk stood up and laughed a few times, "Funny boy!" Before he finished speaking, he had already appeared in front of Andrew. Andrew's pupils shrank. Just now, he didn't even see the other party's speed clearly.
"He is a strong man, and he should be in the Holy Realm!" Andrew made a judgment immediately. If he is a ninth-level warrior, it is absolutely impossible for him to have such a speed!
He was confident that no matter how fast a level nine warrior was, he would not be able to hide it from his eyes. He himself was good at speed!
The drunk held a wine jug in his right hand and slapped Andrew's shoulder with his left hand. Andrew's heart pounded and he stepped back quickly. Facing a strong man who didn't know who was his enemy or friend, he subconsciously wanted to dodge. But...
“Is this the sanctuary?”
Andrew was hit hard on the right shoulder by the opponent, and his body could not move at all, as if it was frozen. The air that was almost weightless seemed to have turned into a mountain, pressing him tightly.
"The Holy Land, the Holy Land that has come into contact with the Law, is actually like this! Below the Holy Land, everyone is an ant!"
For a moment, this thought arose in Andrew's mind.
"Good job, kid, you're pretty good!" The drunk man praised him with a smile, and then Andrew felt the pressure around him disappear.
"Thank you for your guidance, senior!" Facing such a powerful man who was ignorant of his own limitations, Andrew had to remain respectful.
The drunk waved his hand: "No need. After all these years, this is the first time I have seen a young man like you. You are mature at a young age, extremely talented, but not arrogant or impatient. You are really good. If I hadn't stopped accepting disciples a long time ago, maybe I really couldn't help it..."
Andrew lowered his head and complained in his heart: "You old guy is just a sanctuary. In a few years, I will be able to reach and surpass you. Even if you want to take it, I have to agree!"
As a time traveler, Andrew was very ambitious and his sights were set on the highest plane. How could it be possible for him to worship a Saint as his master in the material plane?
Of course, if the drunkard knew what he was thinking, he might slap him to death...
"I like you, come with me and pick out a weapon. You're right, kid. Although my place is small, I have hidden many magical weapons!"
After hearing this, Andrew's eyes lit up. This was really practical. As a result, he was more pleasing to the drunkard. The drunkard took two steps forward and put his hands against the wall. "Kalonglong", the ordinary wall seemed to be a door, split in the middle, revealing a passage.
"Magic circle!"
The moment the wall moved, Andrew felt the breath of the magic circle.
Following the drunk, Andrew stepped into the passage. After walking about two hundred meters inside and another hundred meters down, the two came to a secret room that was nearly a hundred meters long and wide. There were several huge shelves in the secret room, and on the shelves, weapons lay quietly, as if waiting for their owners to come.
"Look at these weapons!" The drunk pointed at the shelves and said proudly, "Don't underestimate them because they are ordinary. Each one is a divine weapon! I almost lost my life to collect them! But I think it's worth it!"
"Artifact?"
