Chapter 43: Greed Makes People Blind

Two scroll spells that could be crafted in reality naturally made Xiao Fen feel a small surprise, but this did not make him lower his guard against everything happening around him.

The battle between the two Awakened over at the battlefield had already reached the most intense and final stage. The next moment would likely determine the winner. The loser would lose their life, and the winner wouldn’t be much better off.

Just as said in Xiao Fen’s quest hint, their strength would drop to a level that those Trialists could raid.

However, Xiao Fen believed more that this appearance was probably the real trap of the entire mission.

His calmness or intuition told him that even if the two monsters downstairs fought to the death, they were still not something the current Trialists could deal with.

At least, before the Main Quest progressed to the end, facing such big bosses, any Trialist with evil intentions attempting to reach the sky in one step would turn to ash.

Therefore, Xiao Fen was already satisfied with obtaining two scrolls. He had no interest in touching the lives of the two big bosses for now. If it weren’t for Lux’s red line, he wouldn’t even have the interest to stay here.

To be honest, Xiao Fen would rather sneak away to find Sylvia at this moment and advance the Main Quest progress with the She-Vampire than stay here, feeling jittery because of the battle between two Legendary Awakened.

However, there would always be people among the Trialists who felt that they were the real lucky stars and all the Halos should be owned by them alone.

The sounds appearing downstairs at this moment were proof.

Li Ruran and Sayena, for some reason, did not receive the attacks from those ropes. While Xiao Fen was secretly rejoicing over the two crafting spells he just got, they had already appeared downstairs in the small building.

If before these two were still looking for Xiao Fen’s traces, now, these two Trialists were deeply attracted by the tragic battle between the Legendary Awakened right in front of them.

Of course, besides this high-level battle, the small bag Jack placed on the ground obviously attracted Li Ruran’s attention more.

Unlike a rookie like Xiao Fen, as a child of a large family, Li Ruran was more familiar with the various equipment situations of the Awakened. He also had a rough understanding of the knowledge about the quality of various equipment.

The leather bag in front of him at this moment was not some low-quality stuff that could only be used in the Trial World, but a good thing made in the Real World and of a very high level, belonging to high-level equipment.

Although Li Ruran’s team had bags made in reality like this, used to avoid the World Tree’s recovery after obtaining certain things and directly bring items back to the Real World, compared with Jack’s leather bag, it was like the difference between heaven and earth.

Needless to say, even just picking up this leather bag and taking it back would be enough to make up for all the Trialist losses in this mission, and there might even be a surplus.

Moreover, there were so many materials in the bag. These were all rare items, and their value might be above this bag.

Thinking of this, Li Ruran turned his head to look at Sayena and asked in a low voice: “What do you think?”

Sayena did not answer the question immediately but turned her head to look at the two corpses of Trialists lying on the ground, already pierced into a sieve by ropes. Beside one corpse, a leather bag was also scattered.

Sayena walked over lightly, picked up the bag and looked at it, nodded to Li Ruran, and then easily opened the bag buckle. Suddenly appearing before the eyes of the two greedy Trialists was the Gemini Golden Key flashing with mysterious light.

After seeing the Gemini Golden Key, the greedy look in Li Ruran and Sayena’s eyes became even hotter than before.

“Bringing this set of keys back will be enough for our previous losses, Young Master.”

Sayena said in a low voice, while rummaging through the bag again. After confirming that there were no other keys, she asked: “Young Master, what should we do with these bags?”

Li Ruran frowned and answered: “They’re yours. I have no use keeping these backpacks.”

Sayena nodded and said: “Okay, Young Master, what do you think we should do next?”

Li Ruran turned his head to look at the other side, his eyes always focused on the leather bag on the ground.

Looking at the wonderful patterns formed after repeated etching on it, one could imagine what a huge sensation it would cause in the circle of Awakened outside once he brought that bag out from here.

“Who are these two?”

Li Ruran looked at the scene in front of him which could already be called miserable and asked in a low voice.

Sayena thought for a while, shook her head and answered: “Not too sure, Young Master. If it was Jack the Ripper, there’s no way to explain why he would appear here now. As for the other one, I have even less impression. So I speculate that the battle here is mostly a continuation of the Lux series of missions. If I guess correctly, it should be a battle between an Awakened under Jack, around Level 6, and an Awakened under Lux.”

Li Ruran said: “If they are Legendary Awakened, I will turn around and leave immediately. For a Level 6 Awakened battle, we can intervene. And watching them fight so enthusiastically, the final result might be good for us.”

Xiao Fen, hiding on the second floor, listened clearly to the conversation between the two Trialists under his feet. The improvement of Spirit made his perception rise significantly, so that he could hear farther and more clearly than before.

After listening to Sayena’s answer, he realized what he had ignored just now, that is, he had not investigated Farrah’s origin. In fact, this investigation might determine a person’s life and death.

Thinking of this, he immediately clicked on the character query on the Projection screen and wrote in Farrah’s name, filling in Black Flame and Legendary Awakened in the remarks column. In less than a second, the Projection screen displayed the query data.

“Neutralist Farrah”

“Species: Forbidden to View”

“Real Name: Forbidden to View”

“Level: Level 12 Legendary Awakened”

“Abilities: Level 4 Biological Poison Control Expert / Level 4 Gene Control Ability Expert / Level 4 Biological Stimulation Expert”

“Specialties: Weapon Crafting Mastery, Biological Poison Making Mastery, Biological Disease Making Mastery”

“Overview: Neutralist Farrah was once known as one of the Awakened closest to God, but due to his reckless behavior, he was eventually forcibly Sealed by Yggdrasil from continuing to ascend, and was made to guard the gate of the Underworld, contributing his strength for every Apocalyptic Disaster transfer to atone for his sins. Surprising everyone, Farrah betrayed Yggdrasil’s final trust once again and eventually disappeared completely from this world. No one knows his true ending.”
