Chapter 358: Who Is The Lord?
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“How do I summon the Goddess of Victory?”
“You will have to let a red-robed archbishop of the Victory Temple activate the imprint inside the gem. They should be of Legendary Level. When that’s done, the goddess will sense it and descend from the heavens.”
Su Wan’s eyebrows twitched. ‘A Legendary Archbishop?!’
It was nearly impossible to meet such people because they usually occupied positions of power and wouldn’t meet ordinary people.
“This blessing of the Goddess of Victory… Does it strengthen the attributes of any equipment or weapon?”
Tristana nodded. “Yes. The blessing might even grant extremely powerful abilities. Most of the abilities were for the Light-Types. In fact, the Victory Gem was a reward for believers who showed unwavering devotion while resisting the invasion of the abyss. Not many gems are left. Perhaps there are only a hundred or so around the world. But… the goddess favored the Light-Types. She hates the Dark-Types.”
Su Wan realized that her hero and her territory were mostly dark. She understood what Tristana was saying. Su Wan couldn’t use the gem in her territory. However, Su Wan was determined to find a use for the gem.
…..
“So… how much would it sell for?” asked Su Wan. If she couldn’t use it, she might as well sell it for a good price.
“Are you still planning to sell it?!” Tristana was stunned.
“The Victory Gem does sound promising, but 1 don’t think it’s suitable for me and my troops. Most of my troops are Dark-Types. I might as well exchange it for a decent number of resources.”
Su Wan didn’t have a use for the gem if she couldn’t harness its power. If she sold it for a large number of resources, she could at least develop and strengthen her territory. For a Lord, her territory was everything.
Tristana sighed when she saw how indifferent Su Wan looked. It was no wonder Su Wan advanced so quickly. She held no unnecessary attachment to things and did what she had to. Such decisiveness among the Lords was rare.
If it was her, she would have kept the treasure even if she couldn’t use it. She would pass it down to the future generations as a family heirloom.
“Lord Su Wan, if you really intend to sell it, I’ll buy it from you,” said Tristana. “For me… this treasure is invaluable. I want to enhance it so that I can use it.”
Before Su Wan could even respond, Xu Yuan grabbed the gem and placed it in Tristana’s hands.
Tristana looked at him in shock. “Lord Xu Yuan, what are you doing?”
“You said you need it,” said Xu Yuan. He shrugged.
Tristana looked at Xu Yuan. “I… uh… Lord Su Wan and I haven’t discussed the price for the gem yet…”
“If you find something good in the future, send it our way in exchange for this. We can decide fast for such a small matter. We’re friends, after all. I trust you,” said Xu Yuan.
Although he and Su Wan hadn’t known Tristana for long, they were sure that she was a good person who kept her word. She had been nothing but helpful till now. Her morality had impressed him.
Su Wan was helpless. Usually, she was the decision maker because Xu Yuan didn’t care about anything half the time. However, if he felt this strongly about the matter, then she wasn’t going to refuse.
Moreover, Su Wan was also grateful to Tristana for helping her all this time. She felt that Tristana wasn’t a person who would betray her. If she could support this future Grand Duke Frostwolf, it would definitely be beneficial.
Tristana accepted the gem in trembling hands. She could feel the immense power within it. She felt very emotional.
“Lord Su Wan, now I am sure that my encounter with you was written in my destiny. Meeting you has been the greatest thing. I’ll definitely repay you for the faith you’ve put in me.”
Su Wan smiled. She was glad that all her friends were doing very well. Shi Linglong, Zhao Qingrong and Lin Yao were in the top four among the Lords. Tristana had become a dear friend, and everything was working out for her so far. She was glad to see it.
Su Wan also felt that her business was going well. The Qing You Pavilion Chamber of Commerce had increased the price for the Hundred Night Flower Honey, which massively helped with her profits.
Moreover, she was trading the Scarlet Flame Demon Spider Silk with Tristana for a decent price.
Everything was working out perfectly.
Xu Yuan was itching to leave this place and get the withered branch. Tristana wanted to head back and examine the gem closely. They all headed to the entrance of the black market.
The Lords saw them approach. “Sir, we’re here!”
“Shall we, Lady Tristana?” asked George.
Tristana George led them to the Lords.
Tristana looked at Su Wan. Meeting in such an open space was bound to be risky if what the Lords provided was of any value. “Maybe we can meet them at the manor.”
Gorge nodded. He discussed with the Lords to meet at Lavender Manor. They didn’t have any objections.
A different carriage was arranged for them. Su Wan and the group got into the carriage with the Frostwolf emblem and headed to the Lavender Manor.
In the carriage, the Lords talked in low voices.
“Who do you think the Lord is? Even the nobles are so respectful to her.”
“She must be someone of higher rank. Perhaps she is among the top 100?”
“That’s b*llshit! Do you think someone in the top too would be this easy to meet? Maybe the Lord is completing a mission for the noble lady.”
“That’s possible.”
“Our hard work wasn’t in vain, though. This pile of junk might be finally worth something. It’s a pity the ruins were destroyed, and we couldn’t get anything
