Korra turned around, with a flash of light in his eyes, and said: "Half of the intelligence the family has received recently is about you. You have enough troubles. I won't tell you what they did in the Elf Land."
Aranza frowned and asked: "So, Marquis Marler Gobi went to the Elf Land because he encountered trouble?"
Korra didn't answer, she put her hair up and walked out of the bedroom.
"never mind."
While following her pace, Aranza shrugged indifferently and said, "Well, anyway, after I finish solving the trouble at hand, I will probably go to the Elf Land."
After hearing this, the patriarch of the Tulip family, who had regained his majestic temperament, stopped for a moment, glanced at the white-haired boy beside him, and said: "The average combat power of the elves is much higher than that of the humans. They did not fight because the humans never lacked
Resources, pile them with corpses to kill them. If you want to break into the Elf Land, of course you can, but you must at least break through the primary level of the Holy Domain first, otherwise, if you die, you won’t be able to see our children."
Aranza filtered out her last sentence as if nothing had happened and said, "Well, so the Marquis has broken through the holy realm?"
Korra continued walking, nodded, and said no more.
The two of them walked all the way and their destination was a very large blacksmith shop. The most outstanding thing about the Tulip family is not their war ability, but their ability to make money. Most of the family members are businessmen, not warriors or magicians.
.This blacksmith shop built by the Tulip family is extremely luxurious just for its exterior decoration, and the interior is even more impressive. Walking inside, it is amazing. Even the most gorgeous palace is nothing more than this.
Different from ordinary blacksmith shops that make a living by mass-producing armaments, the business philosophy of this blacksmith shop is luxury - every weapon and armor placed here all demonstrate the category they belong to with their extremely bright appearance:
Luxury goods.
Those who can shop in this kind of place are high-status figures even in aristocratic circles, and only they need luxurious weapons and equipment to embellish their status.
Aranza's eyes moved across the counters, and she couldn't help but said: "Well, the weapons you plan to give me are not like this, right?"
He is not one of those nobles who only care about appearance. Although the materials of these weapons are indeed exquisite and the forging process is good, they are too cumbersome. It can be said that every piece of equipment with a high price tag on the counter has one thing in common.
The only point is that only a negligible amount of materials are actually used for defense, while more materials are used to shape the gorgeous appearance of the equipment, which greatly reduces the defense while meaninglessly increasing the weight of the equipment.
A real warrior may wear these equipment to support the scene, but he will never wear them on the battlefield.
Korra looked at Aranza like a fool and said: "Not everyone favors practical things. For most nobles, they will never set foot on the battlefield. Therefore, the only requirement for the weapons and equipment they need is
, that is, gorgeous, the more gorgeous the better. As for practical things, haha, they can empty the pockets of the poor, but they cannot take out the gold coins of the rich."
It has to be said that Cora's point of view really shocked Aranza, but he could not find a reason to argue. The undoubted financial resources of the Tulip family had already confirmed the success of this idea.
"certainly."
Cora suddenly showed an evil smile to Aranza. This evil smile reminded Aranza of the scene when he was defeated on her bed for no reason. Sure enough, she immediately said: "Some things are very practical for special occasions, and the nobles also
Someone who is willing to pay, like this one.”
She stopped and pointed to a counter just in front of her.
Above the counter is a small magic defense cover activated by a miniature magic circle. Displaying the goods in this way can be described as extremely luxurious. Inside the magic defense cover, there is only one ring that does not have any special appearance. However, from the ring
From the purple and white light patterns swiping on it, it can be determined that this is a double enchanted ring.
"Well, what is this?" Aranza asked innocently.
"Double Enchanted Ring."
The evil smile on Korra's face became even stronger, and she explained: "We call it the 'Eternal Fountain'. Its two enchantments, one of which is 'The Power of the Barbarian Bull', can greatly increase the wearer's strength.
The other item is 'Invigoration', which can continuously restore the wearer's physical strength. Now, do you understand?"
After she finished speaking, she turned around and burst into laughter, but without waiting for Aranza, she walked towards the second floor of the blacksmith shop.
Aranza stood there, combined with the "special use" tips given by Korra, and the functions of these two enchantments, and after a little thought, he understood the purpose of this ring.
"Damn it!"
He cursed in a low voice, but his face turned slightly red with embarrassment. He finally understood that the patriarch of the Tulip family, under his majestic appearance, was clearly a profiteer with a poisonous tongue.
But Aranza's favorable impression of her suddenly improved a lot for no reason. He took another look at the double enchanted rings that embarrassed him, and then angrily chased Korra. The second floor of the blacksmith shop was the same as the first floor, with various kinds of displays on display.
Such gorgeous weapons and equipment are also the same on the third floor, but there are fewer and fewer weapons and equipment on display, and their quality and price are getting higher and higher.
Seeing Aranza's somewhat impatient face, Cora explained: "Nobles like to compete, and these three floors are enough for them to have fun. Come with me, let's go to the fourth floor."
The fourth floor finally changed and became a warehouse on the first floor.
There were only a few store employees carrying goods here. When they saw Korra, they all hurriedly stopped what they were doing, knelt on one knee and shouted "Her Majesty the Queen". When Korra responded, they stood up nervously, but
He quickly left the floor, not daring to be in the same room with the Queen.
Seeing this, Aranza said playfully: "Well, it seems that everyone here respects you."
"Of course." Korra nodded with no shame.
She led Aranza through the layers of cargo boxes until they reached the corner of the floor. Then she kicked an extremely inconspicuous and dusty square cargo box with her toes and said, "Here is what I want to give to you."
weapons."
Aranza couldn't help but smile bitterly. He saw that this corner was full of square cargo boxes. Could it be that what she was going to give him were hoarded goods that could not be sold?
But looking at Korra's meticulous expression, Aranza gave up the idea of complaining, leaned down, and used brute force to pull open the lid of the container.
But the moment he opened the cover, Aranza's face immediately turned to a layer of shock.
A tiny soul point suddenly jumped into his soul induction, and then, a line that only existed in the soul shot out from this soul point, which was beyond Aranza's defense - in fact, Aranza also
Don't know how to defend against it - connect with Aranza's soul.
The weapon in the square cargo box is actually a Horcrux with an independent soul!
The moment Alanza opened the cover, the Horcrux immediately recognized Alanza as its master and took the initiative to complete the soul contract with him.
"This Horcrux has been here for a long time."
Korra saw Aranza's expression and explained: "It was originally no different from the weapon placed here. For some reason, a soul was suddenly born and transformed into a Horcrux. The Horcrux will find its own owner in order to prevent it from falling into the hands of others.
Here, I added a seal to this cargo box."
Aranza didn't speak, but opened the cover completely, and a blue two-handed sword came into view.
Its appearance adheres to the gaudy style of this blacksmith shop. The pattern on the hilt is of intersecting golden tulips. The front end of the sword is also decorated with gold patterns and is inlaid with several gems of different sizes.
While it is gorgeous, the area where this sword can be used to attack is limited to the front half of the sword body.
Alanza raised the sword and swung it twice. Fortunately, the feel and weight of the sword were within his acceptable range. In fact, this was a Horcrux. No matter how bad the feel or how light the weight was, Alanza
Sha will also expand the acceptance range for it.
The value of a Horcrux is difficult to assess. The only thing that can be determined is that its rarity is far greater than that of an artifact.
It is different from ordinary weapons. A Horcrux with an independent soul will grow with the growth of the user. The stronger the user, the stronger the Horcrux. Moreover, among the only few Horcruxes recorded in history,
A Horcrux is often more powerful than its user.
However, a Horcrux fits the user's personality very well. In other words, if the user of the Horcrux likes killing, the Horcrux will become a murderous weapon. Even if its user dies, it will still kill.
Continue on, harvesting lives until someone finds it and destroys it.
This is also the reason why Horcruxes are difficult to value. Of course, the main reason is that even if an upstart buys a Horcrux, the Horcrux may not necessarily regard him as the master.
Korra looked at Aranza holding the Horcrux and smiled: "It seems that you have become its master."
Aranza didn't know what to do and said, "Well, this gift is too expensive..."
"Don't worry."
Korra waved her hand towards him and said, "As the father of my future child, of course I can't be too shabby."
Holding the Horcrux in his hand, Aranza did not dare to say anything else and could only nod in cooperation.
Korra put on a satisfied smile and said, "Give it a name."
"Angela."
Aranza answered blurtly, and then looked strange. She looked at the two-handed sword in her hand and said, "I didn't give it to it, it told me it itself."
"A Horcrux with a name is really good. It seems that its soul is quite mature."
Korra, however, downplayed this and said, "I know you have precious time. I have asked my subordinates to send the troop deployment order. It will be here in a minute. Of course, it doesn't matter whether you want this thing or not. You just need to
Give me the coordinates of the Black Chain Castle, and this army will be sent through the large magic portal."
Aranza nodded. He was not surprised that Korra knew about his use of troops at the Black Chain Castle. The Iron-Blooded Marquis had made public his plan to attack the Black Chain Castle. So, if Aranza borrowed troops from Korra at this time, he would only borrow them there.
.
At this time, Korra had an evil smile on her face again and said: "There is still a little time, should we do something?"
Hearing this, Aranza's forehead immediately broke out in cold sweat, and she quickly refused: "Well, well, let's do it next time..."
"ha!"
Korra laughed and said: "Look at your appearance, what I want to say is, how about you come to cooperate with me and go to a place after you solve the problem of Black Chain Castle? Of course, there will definitely be more friendship between us.
Second time...haha!"
As expected, Aranza had to ignore half of what Korra said in order to endure it.
