Chapter 821 - During the conference

Chapter 821: During the conference

Ghost did not mind their scoldings and allowed them to say whatever they wanted. In her mind, she still thought Lu De from the Dwarf Clan looked rather peculiar.

Xiao Luo did not wish to interfere either. Those people were only lecturing her. If even such a matter was a trivial matter affected him, then there would be boundless problems everywhere he went.

“Ahem, ahem.”

On the stage, Lu De coughed a little to get the audience’s attention before he spoke. “I thank everyone here for coming all the way to attend the God Weapon Conference organized by the Dwarf Clan. This conference will showcase two Sky, four Earth, six Dark, and a couple of Yellow grade weapons.”

“Oh, my, they are even displaying Sky grade weapons?”

“The Dwarf Clan is bold this time. They dare to take out their Sky grade weapons and put them on display.”

“And there are two of them. It is amazing!”

Lu De’s words caused the congregation to buzz in anticipation of the display.

The eyes of Chen Feng and his gang were aflame with greed. They rubbed their fists and wiped their palms like hungry wild beasts about to taste some fresh meat. They could not help expressing their excitement, and it showed on their faces.

“Senior Chen, they have Sky grade weapons. Do we still have to steal the brat’s Dark grade weapon?” asked a man.

A smirk appeared at the corner of Chen Feng’s lips, and he said, “Of course, we do. The more god weapons we have, the better.”

“Haha, haha, haha...”

After hearing what he said, the rest of them could not help laughing out loud.

“Be quiet. Everyone, please be quiet!”

Lu De stroked his long and thick beard. After he got the crowd to quieten down, he added, “The purpose of our god weapon Conference is to choose the best owner for each one displayed. Whether you can own a god weapon depends on your destiny.”

“Master Lu De, what do you mean by destiny?” a young man shouted.

Lu De chuckled a little and answered, “It is a good question. What does destiny mean? It is simple. It is for the god weapons to identify their owners. Whoever a weapon identifies, the person will be its owner. Weapons above the Yellow grade have souls. Just as you are choosing your weapon, it is choosing you as well.”

“Do you mean the person will not have to pay a single cent as long as the god weapon recognizes someone as its owner? The Dwarf Clan is going to give us them for free?” Another person shouted to ask.

Lu De answered with a generous smile, “Yes, we organized the God Weapon Conference so that the Dwarf Clan can allow the god weapons to find suitable owners. If it is your fate to carry a god weapon, then we will give it to you for free.”

“Hiss!”

Everyone gasped and could not believe the Dwarf Clan was being so generous. Was it because they had too many god weapons, and it was hard to keep all of them? Was it why they had organized the conference and invited everyone who attended to choose a weapon?

“Generous! The Dwarf Clan sure is generous!”

“No one can disagree with that. If you look across Arcana Land, only the Dwarf Clan gave god weapons away for free.”

“Looks like this is not a wasted trip after all. I am going to look so cool in the future if I have a god weapon, haha, haha...”

The entire plaza was in a frenzy again. No one had expected to get the weapons for free at the conference. They would save all the holy coins they had brought to purchase these weapons. Everyone was ecstatic.

“Wow, did you hear that, Luo? They are giving the weapons away for free!” Ghost said excitedly. Her face was full of joy.

“The Dwarf Clan often create weapons. Whether it be a Yellow or a Sky grade, as long as they have the time, the dwarves will surely make weapons. To them, the weapons they make have little value. Even if they were to give these weapons out for free, the dwarves could make more in the future,” Xiao Luo said.

“But they do not have to give them away for free. It would be like, if I had a mountain of gold and silver, even if I cannot use them all in this lifetime, why would I give it out for others to use? I have nothing to gain from doing it,” Duck Emperor said.

Ghost nodded her head and thought what Duck Emperor said made sense. She stared at Xiao Luo.

Xiao Luo shook his head with a smile and replied, “Do you still remember the people from the Dwarf Clan who were sitting beside us when we were eating just now? They spoke about how they felt that the Dwarf Clan is a little too weak in Arcana Land. Even though they can make god weapons, but outside a radius of roughly one million kilometers, people from afar have never heard of the Dwarf Clan. Some have never even heard of these weapons that are of the Sky, Earth, or Dark grade.”

“That is right. But what is the problem here? Arcana Land is so ducking big. With geographical isolation, it is not unusual that people elsewhere are not aware of the different weapon grades or have never heard of the Dwarf Clan. It does not sound odd to me,” Duck Emperor said. He could not seem to understand the point Xiao Luo was making.

“Sure, it is not odd to you, but it is odd for the Dwarf Clan.”

Xiao Luo remained silent for a moment, then said, “I am sure they have someone sitting right at the top with big ambitions. Someone unwilling to accept that the Dwarf Clan is weak, insignificant, and overshadowed by the thousands of clans out there. It is why they organized this conference. And to raise awareness of their clan within the Arcana Land, they give out their weapons for free.”

“Screw their ducking grandfathers! Do not tell me the Dwarf Clan is trying to replace the God Clan and rule the entire land?” Duck Emperor responded in surprise.

Xiao Luo lifted his eyebrows, “If the person is very ambitious, it is not impossible either.”

“It would be funny. The dwarves might not be tall, but their ambition is certainly not small. They sure know how to take advantage of their superb craftsmanship to expand their influence to become the head of Arcana Land,” Duck Emperor said with a contemptuous smile.

“You do not have to jump to a conclusion just yet. It is just speculation, but you never know. Perhaps there are other reasons for organizing this God Weapon Conference,” Xiao Luo said with a smile.

Ghost and Duck Emperor remained quiet and looked at Lu De, who was up on stage.

Lu De’s opening remarks for the conference seemed endless. Finally, after the duration of a burning joss stick, they brought out the first weapon for exhibition. It was a Meteor Hammer of the Yellow grade. As long as it was above an ordinary weapon, it would increase the wielder’s fighting capability. Many martial artists could not wait to get on stage to determine if they were the ones destined to wield the Meteor Hammer. And if the weapon would choose them to be its owner.

Many of them got on the stage with lots of excitement but walked down with much disappointment.

It was easy for a weapon to recognize its owner. The one who could wield the most power would do. According to Lu De, the Meteor Hammer was powerful enough to smash a granite weighing six tonnes.

A strong fighter with a high cultivation level would not need the Meteor Hammer to do that. In that case, the Meteor Hammer would be beneath the user. The rule of the God Weapon Conference was that one person could only receive one weapon. So, a high cultivation level fighter would not bother to look at the Yellow grade hammer. A person with a lower cultivation level could not fully bring out the true potential of the hammer. So, only a small group of people in between would be suitable candidates.

“Do you want to go up and try it?” Xiao Luo asked Ghost.

“I do not want this weapon. It is too ugly!” said Ghost. The hammer failed to capture her interest.

Xiao Luo agreed and nodded his head as well. He said, “It is indeed too ugly. Then let us wait and see. If you see something you like, let me know.”

If she saw something she liked, it would not be a bad idea for the girl to pick up a weapon.

“Mm.” Ghost mumbled a reply with a stiff nod.
