"It seems our child really likes you." Weiwei smiled, and even Piao Sanlang, who had been looking rather serious, softened his expression.
Having learned about Luo Ya's purpose for this trip through Huihui, Piao Sanlang sat cross-legged on the ground and got straight to the point.
"I heard you want some magical items? I wonder what kind you want?" Piao Sanlang asked.
After a moment's thought, Roya asked directly, "Does the Crimson Demon Clan possess magical artifacts similar to divine artifacts?"
"A divine artifact?" In an instant, Piao Sanlang's brows furrowed deeply. Instinctively, he took out a cigarette from his pocket, put it in his mouth, and prepared to light it with a lighter.
Piao Sanlang was silent for a moment before saying, "If it were an ordinary item, I could sell it to you, but since it involves a divine artifact, it's not something I can decide on my own. I have to talk to the clan leader about this."
Luo Ya's eyes lit up. He had only asked casually, but he didn't expect the other party to actually have them. And judging from the situation, it seemed that there were more than just one or two.
Luo Ya nodded and said, "In that case, would you please introduce me to the clan leader?"
Piao Sanlang nodded and said, "Okay."
Then he prepared to get up and take Roya to find the patriarch of the Crimson Demon Clan.
Once outside Huihui's house, it became clear that Hongmo Township wasn't as poor as it had imagined. While it wasn't exactly wealthy, the fact that Huihui's family had reached such a level of poverty was quite remarkable.
Most people really couldn't do this.
The group continued on their way, and stopped at a rather unusual-looking building in the very center of the village.
Piao Sanlang coughed lightly and said to Luo Ya and his group, "I'll go in first to say hello. You all wait outside."
After saying that, he strode inside, a slightly stiff smile on his face, and said loudly as he went, "Clan leader, are you there? I've found you a big business deal!"
The door opened with a click, and a middle-aged man, about the same age as Piao Sanlang, stood expressionless in the doorway, staring at Piao Sanlang.
His lips twitched slightly, and he sighed, "Piao Sanlang, what are you doing here? You think you can find me business? I hope you're not here to borrow money."
Piao Sanlang quickly stepped forward, grabbed him, and whispered, "Hey, this time it's a really big deal, a deal worth 500 million Eris!"
The other party was slightly startled, and the clan leader's brows quickly furrowed. He did not speak, but was deep in thought.
Five hundred million Eris is by no means a small sum.
Although the Crimson Demon Clan has many great mages, for one reason or another, the sales volume of their magical items has never been as high as expected.
However, the price of a typical artifact is around 100 million, and a more powerful artifact can reach 200 million, but that is basically the limit.
While some of these artifacts are incredibly powerful, others are practically useless.
After all, there are quite a few reincarnated individuals who come to this world, and not all of them necessarily reach the peak. Some reincarnated individuals die suddenly due to other accidents.
The reincarnated ones died suddenly, but the divine artifacts bestowed upon them by the goddess were still in their hands. These artifacts might be picked up by some people and then lost to the outside world.
Although this is not very common, it has happened a few times over the centuries.
Moreover, some powerful artifacts have very obvious limitations.
For example, Roja's Traveller's Fantasy.
Although this thing can break through the barrier and enter another world, it consumes a huge amount of magic power.
Take, for example, the demonic sword Gram, which is powerful but has a very obvious limitation: it can only be used by him alone. It is completely useless to anyone else.
So while the artifact is indeed quite powerful to some extent, it also has many limitations and is not as omnipotent as one might imagine.
The chieftain pondered for a moment, then quickly made up his mind. He said in a deep voice, "Does that guy outside really have that many Eris?"
As the patriarch of the Crimson Demon Clan, he had many things to consider. Facing this group of unruly teenagers who acted entirely on their own impulses, the patriarch also had his own difficulties.
Five hundred million Eris is enough to change a lot of things.
"It's perfect timing. Last time, the Demon King's army attacked us for some reason and destroyed our tourist resort, which caused a significant drop in our income. If we can get this money, it will definitely make our lives much more comfortable."
"So, have you made a decision?"
"Well, that's it."
The two old men exchanged a glance, and both made up their minds.
Soon, the clan chief led Piao Sanlang out of the room. He looked the boy standing outside the door up and down, and after a moment's thought, he said in a deep voice, "My name is Xierpeng, and I am the clan chief here. I have already heard Piao Sanlang's explanation of your purpose. Do you really have that much money?"
Luo Ya smiled and said naturally, "Of course, otherwise I wouldn't have come over to ask for the artifact."
The man named Hill Boom said nothing more, nodded slightly, and strode into the room.
Soon, Hill came out carrying a box. The box was nothing special and looked very plain, except for a bronze lock on the outside. Hill reached into his pocket, took out a bronze key, aimed the keyhole at the contents of the box, and inserted it directly.
With a slight twist, the sound of a spring turning could be heard, and the lock was quickly opened. Hill removed the lock, opened the box, and revealed the items inside.
There are not many items, only three ornaments.
A somewhat dirty-looking cloth bag, a slightly rusty cross pendant, and a ring set with a fiery red gemstone.
Roya's gaze was drawn to the cloth bag and the cross pendant. He could sense that the two items were somewhat unusual, and the dazzling fiery red gemstone ring was actually the least desirable.
Without wasting any words, Roya asked directly, "What are the names of these three items?"
Hill began to explain, "This pocket is called the Fairy Pocket. Its purpose is to store any item, except for living things, of course."
Luo Ya's eyes narrowed slightly, and a word flashed through his mind.
A spatial ring from a cultivation novel I read in my past life.
Hill paused here, glancing at Roya's reaction. Roya's expression remained unchanged, making it impossible to tell whether he wanted it or not.
Hillpong could only grit his teeth and continue, "Of course, it also has limitations. It must consume magic power to store things, and the more things inside, the more magic power it needs to consume. For ordinary people, this kind of thing is not very useful except for storing a small number of items."
The limitation is obvious: it requires the consumption of magic power. For ordinary people, magic power is an extremely rare commodity, and they don't have enough magic power to squander it so recklessly.
But for Roya, this restriction was not a restriction at all, since he had so much magic power that he didn't know what to do with it, and even with two sword spirits by his side, it was more than enough.
Without much hesitation, Roya said directly, "Okay, I'll take this. Name your price."
Hill hadn't expected Roya to answer so readily, and he began to ponder what price to quote.
To be honest, this item wasn't actually very useful to him.
The prop that can hold items is unique in that it is very large, and the number of items it can hold is almost infinite.
However, the amount of magic power required to achieve that level is astonishing; otherwise, this thing would have been bought by merchants at a high price long ago, instead of sitting here collecting dust.
Hill hesitated for a moment, unsure of what price to quote.
Seeing his hesitant expression, Roya directly quoted a price: "One hundred million Eris. This kind of thing has many limitations, doesn't it? Moreover, it only has a single storage function. Strictly speaking, it can only be called a lower-level artifact."
This item is very useful to Roya because Roya's magic power is almost limitless. Having this item with him is equivalent to having an infinite space, and it is very convenient. However, Roya will not say so.
Hill pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay."
Then Roya's gaze fell on the next cross pendant, which had some rust on it.
Roya continued, "What about this one?"
"Blessings of the goddess," Hillpong said honestly.
However, upon hearing this name, Roya subconsciously frowned; this thing reminded him of Aqua, that idiot.
Unaware of Roya's strange gaze, Hill continued, "The purpose of this necklace is to grant the wearer immunity to all negative statuses, including poisoning, weakness, burning, and other adverse effects. It also provides resistance to a range of death-related magic, such as instant death."
At this point, Hillpong glanced at Roya again.
This kind of thing can be considered one of the few truly valuable treasures.
Chapter 338 The Staff of the Beautiful Artifact
Luo Ya said directly, "Continue, I'm very interested."
"If carried around year-round, even ordinary people can experience the effects of nourishing the skin and prolonging life, and adventurers can also restore their magic power."
Seeing the positive effects, Roya said directly, "This is a good product. I'll make a price right away: 250 million Eris. Can you give it to me?"
Hillpong originally wanted to quote a price of 200 million Eris, but upon hearing Roya's words, he swallowed back the words he was about to say.
Seemingly noticing the unusual expression on the other person's face, Roya frowned and asked, "What's wrong? Isn't this price enough?"
Hill chuckled awkwardly and said, "Well, since you've already spent 100 million Eris, I'll sell this item to you at a friendly price."
Luo Ya nodded slightly, his expression remaining unchanged, revealing neither joy nor anger.
Huihui and Piaosanlang, who were standing nearby, were completely dumbfounded.
Huihui nudged Piaosanlang's arm and said, "Dad, what are you going to do now? The money the clan leader earns has nothing to do with us."
Piao Sanlang muttered to himself, "It's okay. I'll ask him later if he has any other requests. Besides, I'm the one who introduced him, so I can probably get some money out of him."
The two whispered among themselves and quickly came up with a plan for the next step.
Luo Ya then turned his attention to the last item.
"And the ring?"
"This is not for sale, because I'm keeping it for my daughter," Hill said, scratching his head a little embarrassedly.
Luo Ya looked at it and sensed a fluctuation of magical power from it. Although the fluctuation was not weak, it was not strong either.
"Can you tell me about its uses?" Roya asked directly.
"Well, this actually enhances the user's magic power and reduces the energy consumed when casting spells."
"Oh." Luo Ya nodded slightly and didn't ask any further questions.
