Game of the World Tree Chapter 279

“This is… a divine artifact!”

Caige’s eyes widened at the sight of the Lionheart Sword.

As the acting branch head of Sauron Company, he has developed a keen sense of appraising various items over the years.

Through his rich experience of daily exposure to precious commodities, Caige swiftly identifies the value and extraordinary power infused within this sword with just a mere glance.

“Exactly! This is a divine artifact!”

Demacia boasted with pride.

“It’s a heirloom from our household collection, secured from the Orcs by one of our Elders. We call it the Lionheart Sword.”

“Lionheart Sword? The one symbolizing the orcish royalty, the Lionheart Sword? You actually snatched it from them?”

Caige couldn’t help but exclaim in wonder.

Despite the orcs not being a particularly powerful race, they still held some semblance of influence, as their kind is backed by a true god.

“Cough, it’s precisely because we snatched it from the Orcs that we need to sell it discreetly!”

Demacia winked in an alluding manner.

Cage glanced at him in surprise and suddenly realized what’s he’s hinting at.

“…So you want to sell it to us?”

“Otherwise?”

Demacia said leisurely.

This deal definitely piqued Caige’s interest.

A divine artifact!

Even though the Lionheart’s level wasn’t particularly high, it was still a genuine divine artifact with significant symbolic value!

This is after all, the royal sword of the orcs!

In an instant, Caige devised a plan for what he could do next.

That is to acquire this weapon first, then sell it back to the orcs at a much higher price! Fortunately for him, the Sauron Company had prior commercial dealings with the Orcs in the past.

This way, he would not only sell a favor to the Orcs by returning their prized sword but also make a small profit for himself as well!

“Name your price.”

Caige declared boldly.

Demacia grinned.

“Hehe, similarly, we won’t ask for money this time too.”

“Huh? What do you want then?”

Caige narrowed his eyes slightly.

Demacia grinned again, before getting straight to the point.

“Do you have any spatial storing tools?”

“Spatial tools?”

Caige was momentarily puzzled, then nodded.

“We do have quite a few, but what… are you planning to trade for these spatial tool?”

“Really? You actually have some?”

Demacia looked pleasantly surprised but quickly composed himself.

“Yes, we plan to purchase more goods during our stay in the empire. However, our portable spatial equipment is quite limited, so we want to get some more. Well…how about it? How much can we get for this Lionheart Sword in exchange for some spatial storing equipment?”

“How much, you say?”

Caige gave Demacia a strange look, before shaking his head.

“Mr. Demacia, it seems you don’t understand the market value for spatial goods. While the Lionheart Sword you’re offering is a divine artifact, it’s only a silver-class equipment. Even if it is the orcish royal sword, its value is not adequate enough to be exchanged for a premium spatial tools…”

“Of course, this evaluation is only in comparison to spatial equipment, as spatial tools can only be crafted by high-level mages! Therefore, you won’t receive any high-quality spatial equipment in exchange for your Lionheart Sword.”

Caige elaborated.

“Oh, I see…”

Demacia looked somewhat disappointed.

“Alas, my evaluation is solely based on our company’s standards. Even the lowest-quality spatial equipment within our company is considered high-end items by other companies!”

Caige added confidently.ReAd lat𝙚st chapters at n0v(𝒆)lbin.co/m Only

Demacia’s heart stirred:

“Then…what can we get in exchange for this sword?”

Caige pondered for a moment.

“While high-quality spatial items are beyond your reach, if you’re willing to exchange this sword for a single item, then I can get you a lower-quality spatial tool with a storage capacity of ten cubic meters. Of course, if a single item isn’t sufficient enough for you, then I can get you more, but they’ll be of the lowest quality.”

“What’s the storage capacity of the lowest-quality spatial tool you have?” Demacia inquired.

“Merely one cubic meter, and I have approximately eight of them. However, I believe that size might be too restrictive for your needs,”

Caige shook his head.

Demacia’s smile became more amiable upon hearing this revelation.

“Um… Can I see what your spatial tools looks like?”

“We’d like to visit your warehouse to compare before making a decision. Also, if there’s anything else we fancy as well, then we’d like to make additional purchases,” Demacia added.

Upon hearing this, Caige glanced at Li Mu and this black-haired nobleman only nodded in response.

After some hesitation, Caige said,

“Then come with me.”

After saying that, he led the two out of the entrance hall and head towards the warehouse located at the backyard of the company’s compound.

A brief moment passed, and as soon as they laid eyes on the warehouse, the two immediately sensed several extremely powerful auras lurking within the vicinity.

Based on their estimates, these experts possessed Silver-ranked strength and most likely the guards that’s tasked with safeguarding the Sauron Company’s warehouses here in Maple Leaf City.

Of course, with the background of Sauron company, no one would be daring enough to provoke them, but it’s always wise to have some guards, at least to deter any potential troublemakers.

The two players looked around for a few more times, before following Caige into the Sauron company’s warehouse.

Once they were inside, the pair were immediately stunned by the dazzling array of goods that greeted them.

The warehouse is divided into over a dozen rows of shelves, filled to the brim with a myriad of commodities such as magical tools, equipment, scrolls, potions, special materials, and so much more, in abundance.

“Well, damn! You sure have so many things in here!”

Demacia exclaimed as he sighed slightly with awe.

“Of course! We are after all, the Sauron company!”

Caige boasted with a proud demeanor.

Demacia’s eyes lit up as he quickly looked around and reached for a expense looking scroll on the shelf, which startled the older man.

“A high-level scrolls! There are high-level magic scrolls here!”

“Don’t! Don’t move it! Our deal will be over if you damage it!”

However, Demacia ignored Caige as he inspected the scroll just like a kid that got a new toy.

“It’s fine, it’s fine! I just want to touch it since I also happened to know a bit about magic. Don’t worry, I won’t mess it up! I’m just curious!”

After saying that, he touched the scroll while marveling:

“Such exquisite workmanship, such delicate patterns…Truly worthy of the legendary Sauron company. You guys have so many scrolls!”

Upon hearing Demacia’s praise, Caige’s expression also eased up a bit. He stared at Demacia, feeling relieved when he saw that the attendant only touched the scroll for a while before reluctantly putting it down.

However, much to his dismay, Demacia’s antics didn’t stop there.

After touching the first scroll, he reached for yet another advanced magic scroll and did the same.

“Oh! This one is good too! It’s even a rare spatial teleportation magic! The foundation of your Sauron company truly is really profound!”

“Stop touching these things and come take a look at the spatial tools you wanted.”

Caige looked at him helplessly.

“It’s okay, I’ll just touch it for a bit more. Lord Caige, you might not know this but, I have this habit of touching and playing with precious things whenever I come across them. Hope you can understand and indulge this little whim of mine.”

After saying that, he also purposefully winked at Li Mu.

“Lord Li Mu, you also come and touch it. The feel of these scrolls is truly amazing.”

Li Mu: “…”

⤷ What are you up to?

Li Mu send in the chatroom.

⤷ Quick! Bind these items to yourself bro! These are all precious goods we cannot easily find anywhere! Later on, every item that we successfully bound will be ours!

Demacia excitedly replied.

Li Mu’s eyes lit up.

⤷ Well I’ll be damned…You do really have a talent for this!

Soon, Caige was left dumbfounded as he witnessed the usually silent black-haired nobleman, who had always been courteous, also began acting similar just like his red-haired attendant.

“This scroll also feels amazing! As expected of a high-quality item!”

“This equipment is not bad either! It’s actually a silver-grade superior magical equipment!! Huh? There’s even a special properties imbued onto it!”

“Really? Let me touch it!”

“Hmm? Look, there’s magical stones in this shelf! I heard others say that this is the material needed for crafting artifacts! And not just the ordinary but real higher class of artifacts at that!”

“Hmm? Is this a dragon scale? It’s colored red and much larger than the one at our place. Looks like it came from an adult red dragon.”

“These dragon scales aren’t interesting, so don’t bother ‘touching’ them.”

“This potion looks good too! It can instantly restore mana without negative effects!”

“Haha, I even found a magic potion formula! Too bad, the box is sealed and we can’t open it to see what’s inside. Anyway, let’s just touch the box for now.”

The two of them marveled and exclaimed as they touched lots of different items on the shelves.

Caige was left utterly astonished as he dumbly watched the two young nobles going crazy touching everything they found interesting in the warehouse.

Nevertheless, as he take a closer look, Caige found that the two of them had indeed just touched the goods and didn’t do anything out of the ordinary.

In the end, he was only left utterly speechless as he silently observed their wholly unrefined behavior.

It was only after the two had thoroughly touched almost half of the warehouse goods did they finally stop.

“Have you two touched enough goods now?”

Watching the pair, Caige couldn’t help but roll his eyes.

“Ah…can’t ‘touch’ anymore, since we still need to save it for the spatial tools.”

Demacia sighed regretfully.

Caige: “…”

What a mess.

These two are certainly among the strangest customers he had ever met!

Their behavior just now lacked the dignity of nobility!

Normally speaking, he would have already chased them off away if it weren’t for the mere fact that they have come to his company with a huge business transaction.

Caige shook his head and then took out an exquisite wooden box containing several spatial rings, quietly resting inside.

“These are all the spatial rings in our branch’s inventory. Take a look and choose the one you like. I’ll then tell you the specific prices of it.”

Caige said indifferently.

Demacia eagerly took the wooden box.

“Let me touch it first! We’ll inspect and see whichever feels good, then we’ll pick that one!”

He stated with a hint of impatience in his tone.

Caige: “…”
