Black Hearted Mage
Chapter 76 Revenge 2
The members of the mercenary team knew very well that the guards of the Ronald family would definitely search carefully for the magic crystals, and they would most likely not be able to take away the magic crystals they had worked so hard to pick up in the mine.
"Hand over all the magic crystals on you to me quickly. I will return them to you after we arrive at Violet City. If you don't do this, you will never be able to escape their search. If they don't open this magic steel door, then I can only destroy it. I don't think they dare to do anything to me. If they dare to be rude to me, don't blame me for being rude and killing them all directly!" Kaisas said to the mercenary team.
The mercenaries began to search their pockets and took out all the magic crystals. Although they did not completely trust Kaisas, at this moment, they had no choice but to trust him and take a gamble.
"All of you step back, wrap your heads with thick clothing, and cover your mouth and nose. What I'm about to take out is highly poisonous, and you absolutely cannot let it come into contact with your skin!"
Seeing that Kaisas put on the alchemical mask and gloves, the mercenaries immediately retreated and looked for something to cover their heads. Kaisas took out a crystal bottle filled with gray-green liquid, and then smashed the crystal bottle against the magic steel door with the magic hand.
With a slight thud, the crystal bottle shattered completely, staining the metal door with gray-green liquid. A gray-green mist quickly rose. The undead rot rapidly atomized, corroding the magic steel door and the stone walls surrounding the mine entrance.
A slight "hissing" sound of corrosion continued to be heard, and due to the thick fog, the condition of the magic steel gate could not be seen clearly.
The people outside the magic steel gate were patiently waiting for the mercenaries inside to obediently hand over their storage rings. A thick gray-green mist suddenly emerged from the cracks in the magic steel gate, and gray metal fragments continuously fell off.
A guard from the Leonard family watched the falling metal shards, a wave of curiosity welling up in his heart. He couldn't help but reach out and gently touch the metal fragments. However, the moment his hand touched the gray mist, a sharp, piercing pain suddenly struck him. He screamed in agony, his voice echoing outside the mine.
He was horrified to discover that the skin on his hand began to disintegrate rapidly, as if corroded by some powerful acid. Then, the flesh began to melt, revealing the white bones. And this wasn't the end. Even the bony palm gradually corroded away under the influence of the gray mist, leaving only a pool of blood.
At the same time, Kaesas's spell finally struck. With a massive energy surge, the entire magic steel door roared and opened outward like a blooming flower.
The few people standing outside the magic steel gate were suddenly struck by a sudden disaster. Gray mist gushed outward like a fountain, enveloping them. Some were lucky enough to avoid most of the damage, but others were unfortunately affected.
The most unlucky one was the third steward of the Leonard family. He was hit in the abdomen by a fragment of magic steel, which was deeply embedded in it. He groaned in pain, and blood continued to flow from the wound.
"A bunch of ignorant bastards, daring to covet my wealth, are simply courting death!"
Caesar's roar echoed in the air, full of anger and majesty. His eyes flashed with murderous intent, as if he was ready to launch a bloody revenge on these invaders.
Of course Caesar would not kill these ants, he just wanted to scare them.
"Kaesus, our team has discussed and agreed to sell you the magic crystal at half price. If we take it back to Violet City and sell it, the people in Earl Leonard's mansion will definitely find out!"
After the mercenary team set off, Clarisse rode to the side of the carriage and spoke to Caesars who was lying in the carriage.
"Not half price, 30% off is fine. I also buy magic crystals at 30% off at the Mage Alliance. Do you want gold coins or weapons and equipment?"
"Do you have a magic steel bow?"
Kaisas set up a stall yesterday, and he had magic steel weapons and magic steel arrows, but I didn’t see any magic steel bows.
"Yes, I not only have a powerful magic steel bow, but also a magic steel shield, heavy magic steel weapons, and a full set of magic steel heavy armor!"
"Then take it out and let us see it when we go camping. The price can't be too high!"
"Clarice, I'll sell you anything your mercenary team needs at half price!"
Among all magic steel weapons, the magic steel strong bow is the most expensive. In order to obtain strong elasticity, the proportion of magic steel added to bow weapons is the highest.
"Do you have a magic bow?" the middle-aged female mercenary asked for no reason.
"Clarisse, you're so delusional. That's a weapon only available at the Thorn Flower Trading Company, and it's never sold to the public. Even if you have a magic bow, you don't have magical talent, so you can only use it as an ordinary bow and arrow!"
"Caesar, why is this?" the female mercenary asked in confusion.
"A magic bow must be paired with magic arrows. You need to be able to sense the magic power flowing through the magic patterns in order to control the bow. To put it bluntly, it's a magician's bow and arrow, and it's of little use to someone without magical talent!"
Clarisse is a senior archer. Her long-cherished wish is to obtain a magic bow, but Caesars poured a bucket of cold water on her burning hope, extinguishing the last spark.
"A magician's bow and arrow?"
"The original magic bow was prepared for magicians who had run out of magic power. It uses the magic power of the magic crystal to drive the magic pattern!"
There are records of magic bows in elven books, which were originally created by natural elf magicians. The magic sea of natural elves is relatively small, making it difficult to carry out long-term magic battles.
Before nightfall, the mercenary team set up camp in a secluded place, away from the main road, behind a jungle.
"Just tell me what weapons you want. I can't give them all!"
Caesars took out the magic crystals of the mercenary team and asked them to calculate how much they were worth in gold coins.
"Caesar, what weapons and equipment do you have?" Geralt asked.
"All weapons and equipment are available, including those for magicians!"
"Do you have a heavy crossbow?"
"Yes, five heavy crossbows, more than three hundred crossbow arrows!"
"Kaissa, the people behind you killed a large mercenary group, even with heavy crossbows?"
"That's right. I only sell weapons and equipment. I don't care about anything else!"
Geralt was pushed aside by Clarisse. This old guy was prying into other people's privacy.
"Bring out some strong bows. There are three archers in the mercenary team!"
"Ok!"
Kaisas took out more than a dozen magic steel bows, all of which were of the same style and decorative patterns, but the original marks had been worn off.
"A powerful bow forged from pure magic steel!"
Following Clarisse's exclamation, the mercenaries gathered around. So-called magic steel weapons are simply steel with magic steel added to it. Even a 50% magic steel addition is considered a high-quality weapon. Weapons with even half magic steel won't rust, and their strength and toughness are significantly increased.
Weapons made of pure magic steel are considered a luxury among weapons. Their strength and toughness have reached their limit, and there is no possibility of further enhancement.
"Half price?"
"Yes, only five hundred gold coins!"
Clarisse agreed without hesitation. The value of their magic crystals was already far more than 1,500 gold coins.
While Caesars and Krasus were negotiating, Count Leonard had already received news of the mine. Because Rollo insisted on searching the storage ring, the sturdy magic steel door at the mine entrance was destroyed by the angry magician.
"Rollo, that damn bastard! That magic steel door cost me 20,000 gold coins!"
Earl Leonard was furious. Although he had accumulated a huge amount of wealth, his stingy character was deeply ingrained in his bones, and he could not accept wasting even one gold coin.
"My Lord, Rollo is your confidant, and you should be responsible for this gold coin. You have entrusted such an important task to a man who does not know the difference between respect and inferiority!"
A woman dressed gorgeously and with delicate makeup was sitting elegantly opposite Count Leonard, but her tone was filled with a hint of dissatisfaction.
"My Lord, I forgot to tell you one thing. I've already discovered the true identity of that magician. It turns out he and the great magician Joyce were both students of Old Roman of the Northland Tower. As far as I know, he sold a whopping 150,000 gold coins at his stall in Violet City yesterday, and also purchased a batch of magic crystals from the Mage Alliance. Even more surprising, your son-in-law seems to have developed a keen interest in this magician's wealth and sent some people to assassinate him. Sadly, those assassins ultimately became nothing more than cold corpses!"
When Earl Leonard heard the name "Old Roman of the North Tower," he suddenly felt a chill running down his spine. Old Roman's notoriety had spread throughout the continent; he was an extremely cruel and ruthless man.
Hundreds of years ago, the High Priest of the Church of Saint Laurent murdered one of Old Roman's students, and he single-handedly launched an act of revenge, beheading hundreds of people, including the High Priest, without mercy, making them pay with their lives.
"Bruce?"
"It is he, my Lord. Your daughter is going to be a widow!"
The beautiful and elegant woman wore a faint smile, a sly glint in her eyes. Her voice was clear and melodious, like a silver bell, but the gloating glee in her words left a chilling impression. She seemed not to see herself as a countess, but as a free and unfettered person.
Count Leonard stood aside, his face gloomy, his eyes revealing anger and helplessness. He was not a cultivator, but rather an old man, his body long eroded by alcohol and sex. He walked with a shaky gait, relying on a cane for support. Despite this, he still tried to maintain the dignity of a count, but facing this powerful woman, he was clearly unable to do so.
"Don't forget we are allies!"
The old earl gritted his teeth and spoke in a rage. However, his words received no response. The woman simply smiled slightly, her lips curled up slightly with a hint of disdain. Her tactics were too powerful for Earl Leonard to resist.
"Haha, if there really is no other ore in the magic crystal mine, then our alliance will end here!"
The woman sneered, her tone full of threats and provocations. She knew that Earl Ronald could do nothing about her and could only let her control him.
In the early morning, sunlight streamed through the clouds, illuminating the streets of Violet City. The mercenary team entered the city early, their steps brisk and powerful, their faces brimming with excitement and anticipation. Clarisse and Geralt headed to the mercenary guild to turn in their quest, the results of their exploration mission in hand.
Meanwhile, Caesars hurried to the Thornflower Trading Company, hoping to spread the news of the salamanders in the mines as soon as possible. He suspected that there was a passage at the bottom of the mine that led directly to the volcanic area, which was another road to wealth.
Later, outside the mercenary guild, Caesars set up his stall again. This time, he displayed Scar and the others' weapons and equipment neatly on animal hides, each gleaming with a cold light. These weapons and equipment were all adorned with the Viscount's insignia, undoubtedly drawing even more attention.
The three elven elders of the crater had received Phyllis's magical message. They told the Thornflower Trading Company to leave the passage unattended, believing the salamanders' presence was unnatural. They speculated that a more ferocious beast was frightening the salamanders, preventing them from returning to the volcanic area.
Salamanders are magical beasts that chase fire elements and they should live near lava rivers.
"Come and see, this guy is so bold! He's selling things from Viscount Bruce's mansion!"
Hearing this voice, the surrounding mercenaries gathered around and carefully examined the items on the stall. They quickly noticed the emblems on the equipment and realized that these items came from Viscount Bruce's mansion. Then, a mercenary standing in front of Caesar's stall shouted loudly.
More people gathered around Kaisas's stall, looking at the items curiously. Although most people didn't know what exactly had happened, they understood that this matter was of great importance and might cause a huge uproar in Violet City.
After all, daring to kill a noble's men was shocking enough, but now this person was actually openly selling the noble's weapons and equipment, which was clearly a blatant challenge to the noble's dignity. Everyone couldn't help but wonder who this murderer was and why he was so bold?
Just as people were discussing this, shocking news suddenly arrived: an even more precious vein of fire crystal had been discovered in an abandoned magic crystal mine in Earl Ronald's territory! This news immediately caused a huge sensation, and everyone shifted their attention to this new discovery.
Meanwhile, some nobles in Violet City also learned the news. They had been expecting a reaction from Viscount Bruce's residence, but they were met with such unexpected news. For a moment, Violet City was plunged into chaos, with rumors and speculations swirling. By noon, there was still no movement from Viscount Bruce's residence.
