Treasure Trove
"Is this a Bandit's treasury or a City treasury?"
In front of Leo, countless Hero coins were lying around, with many weapons and artifacts of various grades.
Even the city treasury might not have that many Hero coins as the City leader had to use them to increase his city's defenses.
Of course, there were some exceptions, like the Phirie city, where Leo sensed no upgrade in the city wall from the last ten years. So, he doubted that the city leader might not even spend much on the city's development either.
"Anyway, I don't have to worry about the money anymore for a while."
Even though Leo knew the mountain bandits looted all the Hero coins in front of him, he wasn't guilty of taking them.
'System, take them all into the storage ring.'
Leo extended his hand with a calm look as all the Hero coins, weapons, and artifacts disappeared from the ground.
'Ding,
Items stored in the storage ring are:-
1) Hero coins:- 29 million coins.
2) Fragment of god stone x 2
3) Weapons x 1655
4) Artifacts x 1233
'Ding,
There are no rank 7 or above grade weapons or artifacts.
"29 million Hero coins?"
Leo was surprised at the list of items on the holographic screen; however, he was utterly shocked when his eyes landed on the second item.
'What the hell? There are two fragments of the god stone?'
Leo could not believe his eyes as he hurriedly took out the two fragments of the god stones to check them.
'Even though I said it was not hard to find fragments of god stones anymore, I didn't think it would be this easy.'
'Does that mean, the mountain fiend king was planning to break into the rank 9?'
There was only one reason why two god fragments would appear in this cave, and it was because of the mountain fiend king.
Other than the monster king, the mountain bandits might not even know about the existence of the God stone, much less collect them.
'Looks like taking this mission was the right thing.'
Not only did he gain 29 million hero coins, but he also gained three fragments of the God stones.
'Ding,
Detected the two fragments of god stones. Do you want to use the special effects of these stones?
He received the system notification as he held the two fragments of god stones.
'Sure.'
Since he could use the special effect of the stone without destroying the normal effect, Leo didn't waste any time as he used them to reduce the cooldown on his talent swallowing ability.
'Ding,
The special effects of the two fragments of god stones are used.
'Ding,
Next talent extraction in :- 89 days / 365 days.
'At this rate, I will have my next talent very sure.'
Just yesterday, Leo had used his ability to swallow a talent, and with the help of three fragments of the god stones, Leo received his waiting time by one-fourth.
'As long as I find another fragment of god stone, I can swallow a new talent without waiting.'
Leo looked forward to finding a new fragment of God stone as he slowly turned around to leave the cave.
Since he got the bandit's treasure trove, Leo decided to return to the city and prepare for the upcoming premium auction.
'I hope the Phirie city's premium auction will not disappoint me with its limited items.'
Leo didn't worry about bidding for the limited items anymore with his storage ring full of hero coins.
'System, among the pile of weapons and artifacts, are there any good things for Julia, Ryan, and Amy?'
Since the system had already assessed those three, Leo didn't say anything; instead, he asked the system to find the items.
'Ding,
Please give me a moment.
Soon, the system started searching for suitable weapons and artifacts for the three people that Leo mentioned.
'Ding,
Artifact name:- Enigma Staff.
Grade:- Rank 5
Effect:- 1) Heals the targets at double speed.
2) Doubles the experience gained by the user.
'Ding,
Artifact name:- Ring of Fire.
Grade:- Rank 6
Effect:- 1) Doubles the fire damage done by the user.
2) It has 100 cubic meters of storage inside it.
'Ding,
Artifact name:- Ice eater. (Bracelet)
Grade:- Rank 5
Effect:- 1) As long as it is fed ice, it will heal the user.
Note:- The more ice is provided, the sooner the user's injuries will be healed.
'Ding,
As for the weapons or armours, the system didn't find anything useful because they were either not suitable or broken.
Leo only took a few steps before the system showed him the details of the few artifacts that were suitable for Julia, Ryan, and Amy.
"They are good."
Leo nodded his head as he felt they were a perfect match for Julia and others.
"Keep them aside, and as for the other weapons and artifacts…."
'Swoosh'
Before he could finish his words, the silver sword tattoo on his wrist flashed as a silver light jumped into the storage ring.
"Nevermind. Arcane silver will take care of them."
By the time Leo walked out of the cave, his undead beings had taken care of all the corpses on the ground and were waiting for his orders.
"It is very clean."
Leo didn't find a single remaining of the corpses except for the green blood on the ground here and here.
"You can go back now."
'Snap'
With a snap, Leo sent back to the ground before walking down the mountain with a casual look.
"Brother Leo, are you alright?"
At the mountain base, Julia was anxiously waiting for Leo, and the moment she saw him, she hurriedly rushed toward him.
"I am alright! Didn't I tell you that I can take care of these 'Greed mountain bandits'?"
Leo felt warm seeing her become anxious for him.
'Even though Dominic and others used to worry about me all the time, I feel different when I see her worry about me.'
He could not explain his feeling in words as he looked at Julia with a slight but happy smile.
"I know you are strong but still I am worried about you, Brother Leo."
Julia smiled as she heaved a sigh of relief for Leo's safe return.
'Screech'
Griffin released a screech to let them know about its presence.
"I know you are here."
Leo nodded his head as he asked Griffin, "As I promised, I will help you with anything except for giving back the Fragment of the God stone."
"So, what do you want?"
