Chapter Thirty-two: Equipment is Very Important
The entrance of the underworld... is still a gloomy and deathly silence.
"This is... " Scott gazed at the scene before him, trembling as he spoke. "I... have I already... died? My dreams, my empire..."
"What's the big hurry to die?" Dais's boisterous voice came from behind Scott, startling him. "Whoa! Has your soul already become an old man?!" In the underworld, Scott directly manifested his soul state.
"You! How... isn't this the Underworld?" Scott asked, looking at Dis with a puzzled expression. Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, his face relaxed "I get it! This is your divine domain, right? I thought I was already in the Underworld!"
"I don't know what you're talking about!" Dis ignored Scott's words "I brought you here just to ask for your help!"
"What?" Scott was momentarily stunned, and although he knew he wasn't dead, being in enemy territory was just too dangerous!
"I've just learned a new move, but I'm not sure how powerful it is, so I'll trouble you with it! Haha...!" Dais said with a sudden smile, paired with Scott's terrified expression, looking exceptionally evil!
"No, we can..." Scott felt a chill run down his spine as he sensed an intense killing intent in Dice's words. But before he could finish speaking, he saw some pale blue mist-like things appear beside him.
"What...what is this?" Scott stared at the mass of air in front of him in terror, everything before his eyes was too strange.
"Hong~~hong~~" The air mass stuck to Scott's body and suddenly burst into flames like a raging fire.
"How is this possible?! I'm in a spiritual state right now! What are these flames?! Are they the hellfire that can burn souls?! Ahhhhhh~~~~" The pain of his soul being burned stimulated Scott to let out wave after wave of mournful cries.
"What a pity!" Di's stretched out his hand and grasped an air mass "This flame is precisely the ghost fire that uses souls as fuel, its name is Jī Shī Qì —— Guǐ Cāng Yàn ——!!"
"Ahhhhh~~~~ No! Spare me!" Scott writhed in agony on the ground, trying to extinguish the ghostly flames that engulfed him, but no matter what he did, it was all in vain.
"It won't go out until it has burned your soul to ashes." Looking at the dazzling blue-white flames, Dis grasped a handful in his hand and grinned menacingly. "The moment you laid hands on Young Master, your fate was sealed! I don't have the habit of making others wait for me, so hurry up and disappear!"
Dais turned around and left, Scott had completely disappeared behind him. "Hmph! The first time I used this move, that old guy didn't even burn elegantly!" He rubbed his nose, this move was really good, it would be much more convenient to use in a fight from now on! If he hadn't known about the existence of the eighth sense and tried to simulate its state, he probably wouldn't have been able to bring it out until he reached the peak of the seventh sense...
"I'm telling you, young master, are you sure you want to count them one by one?" Dis held a purple crystal coin in his hand, tossing it up and down as he looked at the two rings Francis had handed him, asking silently. Saber on the side was also expressionless, staring at Francis.
Francis collapsed under the gaze of the two, "Alas, isn't this our current fixed assets?" Francis lay down on his back, directly lying on a pile of purple crystal coins, and casually picked up the money under him, muttering to himself: "You guys say, will the Zhāi Bái Tiān Empire be destroyed just because the national treasury was emptied?"
Dys handed the ring back to Francis. "How can I possibly count it? One ring is already a mountain, I don't have the patience to count money here!"
"What's the young master going to do? So many rings, can't possibly wear them all on his body! And a spatial ring, it can't be stored in another spatial ring!" Saber placed the purple crystal coin under sunlight and examined it, still transparent.
"Dis, Lila, these rings are high-level spatial rings. Unlike the ones we wear on our hands, they can be viewed with just spiritual power! You two each take one, and just a drop of blood on it will do. As long as your spiritual power is still there, no one else can peek inside to see what's in it!" Francis handed over two rings to Saber and Dis. The two took the rings without saying anything, directly biting their fingers and dripping a drop of blood onto them.
Francis watched as the two of them pricked their fingers, and he also took a ring, putting his finger in his mouth to bite it, but ultimately couldn't bring himself to do it. In desperation, he could only find a short sword among a pile of sacred objects, lightly stabbing his own hand, taking the ring and wiping it on his hand, directly settling the matter!
"Let me heal you guys!" Francis said, stroking his own spotless hand, "My healing skills are the best!"
"It's okay! I'm fine now!" Saber's magical power can quickly recover her external injuries, but for internal injuries, she has to rely on her master Francis.
"I don't need it either! This minor injury doesn't even require treatment!" Dis said proudly.
Francis caressed the ring on his middle finger with a joyful smile, and after Dis destroyed that Scott, Francis roughly looked at what was inside the ring. Twelve rings, each about ten cubic meters in size. One contained an artifact, two contained holy artifacts. One was filled with high-level magic cores, seven or eight were holy-level, and two emitted powerful magic, obviously divine-level. Two respectively contained various fighting spirits and magical secret books, Francis found the light system magic book he wanted inside. The remaining six had one containing all sorts of minerals, colorful, Francis didn't recognize any of them. The other five were all filled with purple crystal coins, densely packed directly into the ring, exactly how many, Francis hadn't counted yet.
"I'm asking you, young master, how long do you want to keep this up?" Di Shi was truly at his wit's end. Whoever saw a face that could topple cities and countries, with a lecherous expression and drool at the corner of their mouth, would be left speechless, it was too damaging to one's demeanor.
"Oh! That's right!" Francis wiped the corner of his mouth "I gave you all the rings except for some Amethyst Coins, none of the others are usable! Don't you want some Holy Equipment or Divine Equipment?" Francis rummaged through the rings in his hand to see if there was any equipment he could use.
"Let me see, hmm! My strength is still not enough to use the divine artifact. As for the sacred artifact..." Francis took out the two rings that held the sacred artifacts, one with a sacred artifact that mages could use and the other for warriors. "Oh! This robe can actually grant immunity to magic from Sacred Tier strongholds! This ring comes with rapid mana recovery! This greatsword can increase attack power! This armor can withstand a full-power blow from a Sacred Tier opponent! These boots can speed up..." Francis felt like he was in heaven, thinking that after wearing these, who could possibly beat him in a fight.
"I don't need it!" Dis said with a dismissive tone "I have my own sacred clothes, anything else would just get in the way!"
"I'm the same, I have my own Noble Phantasm. Using anything else would only lower my abilities!" Saber has great confidence in her own Noble Phantasm.
"Is it? And what about me? What can I use?" Francis tossed the ring to the two of them, asking for their opinions.
Dys took out a ring and roughly looked at it, then pulled out a pair of gloves and handed the ring to Saber.
"This glove suits you the best!" Dais handed the glove to Francis. "The young master's speed and strength are top-notch. This glove is made of some unknown silk, it's exceptionally durable, and can even withstand magic when infused with magical power. It would be a great match for the young master." Saber also nodded in agreement beside them.
Francis took the gloves, a pair of white gloves that could be seen everywhere, with a small magic array on the back of each glove. After carefully feeling for a while, Francis put on the gloves and clenched his fists, "No matter how you look at it, it feels almost like ordinary gloves! This thing really suits me!"
"Hmm! The weapons used by warriors are mostly related to aura, and the things inside don't suit your fighting style!" Dais said bluntly.
"There's this too!" Saber carefully rummaged through it for a while, then pulled out a belt. "This belt can release a magical shield. Normally, the magic is stored in the magic stone on the belt, and during battle, it will automatically defend you. However, it will also consume the magic inside."
"Wow~" Francis took the belt with great interest, the entire belt was blue with some white stripes sewn on it, and in the middle there was a white magic stone. "The appearance is not bad, it's also quite practical! Lilia still cares about me! She found me a defensive holy artifact!"
"No... nothing!" Saber's face turned red as she took two steps back.
Francis was buckling his belt and didn't notice what was in front of him.
"Young master, don't rely too much on this thing. At your speed, the attacks of the Sacred Rank can't even hit you, and if it's a Divine Rank, this belt probably won't last more than a few times." Dis actually feared that Francis would lose himself in his playthings, and that improving his own strength was the most fundamental thing.
"Hmm! I also know this, the main reason for bringing it is to prevent being ambushed by enemies. Don't underestimate the various professions in this world, like Dark Mages and Necromancers, they can put two or three curses on you without you even knowing! Not a few powerful experts have died from ambushes!" Francis said with lingering fear, the assassins in this world are indeed formidable.
"But after searching for half a day, don't you think the young master is missing something?" Francis waved his right hand twice "It's like this, isn't it? Don't you feel like something is missing?"
