Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Kieran glanced over at Borl, but he didn’t intend to walk over, despite his unusual behaviour.

Borl wasn’t exactly a stranger to Kieran, but he was definitely a questionable person who he should be wary of.

In simpler words, the more unusual Borl looked, the more careful Kieran should be.

Though, Kieran also believed Rachel would take care of everything.

The best proof was Borl being at Harvest Inn.

“Want anything else?” Lawless asked Kieran.

Without having to say anything, Lawless understood what Kieran wanted with a meaningful gaze. He pointed at the jug of lemon water on the bar counter that he was leaning on.

“It’s enough. What I want now is a new auction,” said Kieran.

“Another harvest? You are awesome!” Lawless gave a big thumbs up after jolting for a while.

The praise came from the bottom of his heart.

Lawless was always true around his friend, that’s why Kieran was willing to help Lawless whenever possible and however possible, but compared to the debt Lawless owed Rachel... It was like trying to put out a cartload of fire with cups of water.

The debt Lawless owed wasn’t returnable by mere Points and Skill Points.

“When do we start?” Lawless asked to confirm the time.

“I need a little more time,” Kieran then went out of the inn.

Barkel’s room was quite far away from Harvest Inn. His scruples with Rachel exceeded what people imagined. Not only did he choose a far away place, the place was quite secluded as well.

Barkel’s room was at a nameless street.

It was dark, narrow, and wet, and it reeked badly.

When Kieran walked into the street, a mouse ran over his feet.

“What a place for hiding,” Kieran exclaimed as he walked along the small path, which had concentrated yet messy and uneven buildings on both sides.

In the big city, a street like this was very ‘popular’ among players, as they always thought such a street might hide secrets of sorts.

However, the players found nothing but mice holes after many attempts; thus, their passion slowly died off. Soon, such a street was on the blacklist of players.

No one was willing to set foot in a street like this, but to some players, it was a decent location.

Turning into corner after corner, going through mouse hole after mouse hole, Kieran had to spend nearly 20 minutes to find the room that hid in one of the smelly corners, despite knowing where it was. After wiping a few spider webs in front of the door, Kieran saw the sign.

Farshad Street 212th.

Kieran pushed open the broken wooden door, and the golden shine that came from the inside made Kieran squint his eyes.

Gold bricks piled up like a mountain, and all sorts of pieces of jewelry, more than one layer, blanketed the floor.

However, the most concerning thing was the rack at the end of the room. The items on top of the rack emanated their own unique shine.

Among the many orange glows, a gold and dark gold shine was the perfect garnishing for a beautiful scene. Kieran curled his lips into a grin.

Going through the path made up of normal, attributeless pieces of jewelry, Kieran reached the rack at the end of the room.

He glanced at the many Rare rank items and ultimately landed his attention on the Legendary and Advance Rank pieces of equipment.

Kieran picked up a pouch as big as a man’s palm. Inside the pouch was five seemingly normal flying daggers.

[Name: Dagger of Greed]

[Type: Weapon]

[Rarity: Legendary]

[Attack: Powerful]

[Attribute: 1. First Edge; 2. Second Edge; 3. Third Edge]

[Effect: Returning Edge]

[Prerequisite: Sharp Weapon, Throwing (Grandmaster), Intuition A+]

[Able to bring out of dungeon: Yes]

[Remark: It is a complete set of flying daggers. No one knows who forged it in the first place, but it doesn’t diminish its power.]

...

[First Edge: When Dagger of Greed hits its target by throwing, it will inflict Powerful penetration damage and at the same time trigger Second Edge.]

[Second Edge: When Second Edge is triggered, any Dagger of Greed that hits a target will inflict Extreme penetration damage and at the same time trigger Third Edge.]

[Third Edge: When Third Edge is triggered, any Dagger of Greed that hits a target will inflict rank I penetration damage, and the owner will be healed with Medium Healing.]

...

[Returning Edge: Any Dagger of Greed will return to the pouch after hitting its target.]

......

“Not bad,” Kieran commented on [Dagger of Greed].

It was delightful enough for a Legendary rank item to reach Advance Rank attacks despite its setups.

So, if the [Dagger of Greed] was something decent, the next [War Zealot Box] was truly a surprise to Kieran.

[Name: War Zealot Box]

[Type: ETC]

[Rarity: II]

[Attack: Strong]

[Defense: IV]

[Attribute: Arsenal Storage]

[Effect: None]

[Prerequisite: Strength S]

[Able to bring out of dungeon: Yes]

[Remark: In the galactic battlefield of Nornar, this is one of the essential pieces of equipment of the Zealot Knights. It not only stores a plethora of weapons, but it can also be the best defensive gear. Some Zealot Knights preferred to use it to smash the enemy to bits. How you use it is up to you.]

...

[Arsenal Storage: A special technology revolving around space extension, it can store 10 standard-unit weapons and defensive gears. (1 Unit = 1 two-handed greatsword. Because of the limitation of this technology, you can only store weapons and gears accordingly to their unit counter; even if you put a canned drink inside, it will be considered as 1 Unit. When an item exceeds 1 Unit, it will take up 2 Units to storage and a third Unit will be reserved as support. Items bigger than 2 Units will not be able to be stored in the box) 0/10]

...

Kieran didn’t conceal his happiness when he looked at [War Zealot Box], which looked like a black briefcase. He grabbed the strap on top and put it over his back before re-equipping [Crimson Ghost Stomach].

Although he already had [Crimson Ghost Stomach] and [Wealth’s Keep], he didn’t mind another storage item that allowed him to store more.

After tidying the gears and weapons, Kieran started to check the room thoroughly, and after he made sure he didn’t miss out on anything, Kieran activated [Wealth’s Keep, Greed].

A pleasant chime later, the gold and pieces of jewelry in the room were all swept clean by the pouch. The process was like magic, no pause or delay, and was completed almost instantly.

Most importantly, it didn’t increase the weight.

Kieran nodded in satisfaction after another glance at the empty room/

He was quite happy with this way of ‘cleaning’ up spoils of war.

Of course, what delighted him more was the surprised that followed.
