Chapter 674 Many Are Joining The Crusade
Chapter 674 Many Are Joining The Crusade
?
It was so rare to have such a thing, and it was kind of like what Berry suffered from when William first met her. Yet unlike Berry, there was no future hope for any of the Mutants.
Their spirits clashed against each other for the rest of their lives. Yet as there was a grand difference between the two spirits in terms of quality and grade, it was easy to overcome and control such clashes.
William wanted to aim towards this. And to do so, he got to find something that could stir up the spirits within oneself.
Such an item wasn't rare actually, but that was the case in the outer world. As masters there needed a stimulus sometimes to grow their spirits stronger and fiercer, to overcome any stagnation in rising one's spirit power up, they used such methods to deal with these problems.
William started to visit one shop after another, looking for an item that could stir up one's spirit. At first he got nothing at all. But in less than five hours, he finally met someone who knew what William was speaking about.
"You are looking for a cursed item? Youth, I don't know from which family or powerhouse you came from, but I have to advise you against having any of these wretched and evil things."
"Why mister?" William was standing in front of a middle aged man who looked strangely similar to the merchant he used to deal with back at the Aspire academy.
"These things are really wicked! Once getting affected by it, one can lose his control over himself. I once saw a venerable master jumping over a bunch of girls after coming in touch with that item… I can't really blame him for that. These girls were really sweet and hard to resist, however that's not the point…"
William didn't know how the talk drifted to speak about hot girls and such. But he decided to switch the topic back to its original route, "does mister know where I can get one of these cursed items? Do you have one perhaps?"
"Me? No way! I'm not that insane to keep one in my shop… However…" the merchant seemed to get a bit cautious, looked right and left before coming closer to William, "I heard that the head of that great family here has few of these items. It's rumoured that the strongest master there has a liking towards them."
"The Vancouf family?!" William was surprised by such news. But the merchant shook his head before adding in the same whispering tone:
"It's that scary master, the one called Zin."
"Oh, I know him," William meant something entirely different from what this merchant understood, "thanks… Here is a token of my appreciation," William tossed a ring over to the merchant, one of the many he got.
During the past two weeks, William went through the rich content of the rings of the Mutants he got. He didn't just claim eight more rings, but tons of wealth and resources, gears and weapons, and even weird stuff.
The most valuable things he found there were the things that came from the outer world. William didn't know how these Mutants got their hands over such items, but he was glad he got them. At the same time, and when he recalled Zin and the many rings he collected, he couldn't help but feel a little bitter.
He tried before to make a trade with Zin, ending up with the latter asking him to teach him about the uses of these items. Zin wasn't stupid, he knew he took part in a battle that didn't follow the rules of this tiny world.
And for a reason he felt like William was more informative about all of this stuff. But William didn't agree to that offer, and turned it down.
Since then Zin never stopped trying every means possible to make William agree. He kept speaking to him at many occasions, speaking randomly about the description of various items.
That was why William decided to seal himself back in the Lost City and used an array to seal any communications with the outside. This was done to save William the headache of this mad man.
And now he had to go and find Zin, ask him about the cursed items. William knew Zin wouldn't let him go off the hook, and was mentally prepared to explain the use of a single item in exchange for getting his hands over a cursed gear.
[Come to me at the main gate, I'm going to join that crusade of yours] When William contacted him, Zin exposed such surprising news.
"Are you coming?" William already exchanged Bullets with every single leader and big name in all the families and forces joining the city.
Zin learnt a lot from the last war with William, and got the feeling that things were never meant to be normal when that youth was around. So when he heard the news spread by William's guild vices, he instantly arranged a sizable force of his family and planned to join this adventure.
Many of his family masters were already planning to join this crusade. The hatred and enmity against the dark masters were running too deep in all the normal master's community.
So, it was expected how grand the response his sudden notice received. [I want to help, and you aren't appreciative! Do you know how much I get paid to just be part of any force? Thank your luck that many of my friends and close masters are going and so I decided to join them]
William didn't buy a single word of what Zin just said. "Tell me the truth, do you want to come to get more treasures? Aren't you ashamed of yourself? Such a formidable master and still caring for worldly things like these…"
[Stop spreading rumours about me! It's not my fault you are stubborn like a solid rocky mountain! If you just let me through what I gained, then I'd have left you all alone]
