Chapter 491: 160. Preliminary transaction_3

Noland picked up the briefcase at his feet and placed it in front of Mabel.

Mabel was slightly startled and then asked:

“How many alchemy armaments did you just say?”

“Over 1,200 pieces.” Noland repeated.

“That.. that’s so many.” Mabel was slightly taken aback.

Upon opening the briefcase Noland handed her, Mabel was left dumbfounded.

What lay before her eyes were alchemy armaments compressed into the size of tofu blocks by folding space within the briefcase.

Upon brief inspection, the vast majority of these alchemy armaments were old in appearance, with most ranging from First Order to Third Order.

“The quality of the more than 1,200 alchemical armaments here is about the same as what you see now.”

Noland reached into his upper pocket, taking out a scroll written by Denise Green, and placed it on the table:

“Take a look, this has the numbers for each tier of the alchemy armaments. There are a total of 1,227 pieces. I originally planned to sell these alchemy armaments to the Golden Commerce Guild. But since we already have established some initial trust between us, and we are both wizards, I have decided to give priority to doing this deal with you.”

“It is my honor, Ray Lee. Not to hide from you, but Elemental Judgment has a great demand for alchemy armaments. In the past, most of the alchemy armaments collected by the Cat Society were bought by me.”

This sudden deal seemed to excite Mabel.

A smile appeared on her face as she carefully read through the scroll.

Putting down the scroll, she reached into the briefcase and took out a quickly enlarging “tofu block.”

Within about three seconds, the alchemy armament, freed from the folds of space, had changed from a “tofu block” size back to its original size.

It was a Seventh Order alchemy armament. Heavily damaged, its original appearance could hardly be discerned.

The feedback from Deconstruction showed it was an alchemy armament called “Volcanic Stone Turtle.”

As its name suggested, the wearer of this alchemy armament would normally need to move on all fours in order to function properly. Overall, it looked like a stone turtle bearing a heavy shell on its back.

When intact, a tiny volcano, about five meters high and over two meters wide, would be present on the back of the “Volcanic Stone Turtle”. With just a thought, the wearer could control the volcano on their back to spew forth a magma column several meters high.

This was one of the effects of this alchemy armament.

Upon activating its transformation effect, the “Volcanic Stone Turtle” would assume a human form, and its wearer would become a humanoid creature covered in searing magma. The magma, with a temperature of up to 1200 degrees Celsius, would tightly envelop the wearer while melting everything around them that could be melted.

More alchemical effects of the “Volcanic Stone Turtle” needed the cooperation of the wearer’s alchemy stone to activate. For example, creating a magma zone that could last for half an hour, creating a miniature volcano that spews magma, and spewing black smoke from the volcano’s vent to block the view, and so on.

The heavily damaged “Volcanic Stone Turtle” that Noland had brought for trading had only 32% left on the “Integrity” column in its panel.

But this would not hinder the deal.

Battles destroy the fragile parts of the alchemy armament. It is the hardest, most valuable part that would not be easily destroyed during a battle.

The remaining alchemy materials of the “Volcanic Stone Turtle” were the essence of the entire alchemy armament.

Extracting these alchemy materials using magic or alchemy techniques, they could be reused to make new alchemy armaments or “Magic Armor.”

For Elemental Judgment, alchemy armaments had another purpose.

Mabel returned the “Volcanic Stone Turtle” to the briefcase and said with a beaming smile:

“I’ll take all of your 1,200 alchemy armaments, Ray Lee. To maintain the ‘Great Forge’ of the Fire Elemental Realm, we, the Elemental Judgment, need to provide an endless supply of extraordinary items to serve as fuel. If you have any other extraordinary items waiting to be sold, please sell them to me. I’ll take as many as you have. Of course, they must be made of metal or stone material.”

Noland knew about the existence of the “Great Forge.” He had learned about it from Denise Green.

This object was the core of the Fire Elemental Realm. By burning metal and stone extraordinary items, it released a surge of fire elemental energy. In doing so, wizards who mastered fire elemental spells could draw fire elemental energy from the Fire Elemental Realm.

Once the “Great Forge” was extinguished, all wizards who relied on the Fire Elemental Realm for casting spells would suffer. For this type of wizards, continuously providing fuel for the “Great Forge” was an innate mission.

To encourage wizards to actively provide fuel, Elemental Judgment established a reward system with generous benefits.

The specific details of this reward system were unknown to non-Elemental Judgment members, so Noland also had no way of knowing.

But seeing Mabel’s smiling face, the rewards for handing in fuel must have been quite tempting to her.

“For the next month, I will be going back and forth in the Fissure Corridor, collecting more alchemy armaments. I will bring them to you then,” Noland paused and continued, “Now, let’s discuss the price, Mabel. I will be leaving Union City with you. Union Coins are of no use to me. It would be best if you could buy alchemy armaments with gold or Ulnas gold coins.”

Mabel nodded slowly:

“Gold or Ulnas gold coins, no problem, I can meet your requirements. Please give me some time to calculate the exact amount.”

“Alright, ma’am. I’ll have Denise bring the alchemy armaments first. She’ll teleport here and put down the briefcases. I hope you don’t mind her using teleportation here,” Noland said.

“Please do, I won’t mind.”

Flames flickered inside the study.

Denise Green was summoned and placed another seven briefcases on Mabel’s desk.

She exchanged brief greetings with Mabel and then left without lingering through teleportation.

Noland praised Denise through Soul Perception for her swift and efficient action, making her giggle in response.

Noland treated Denise as an intimate companion and would never be stingy with his praise. Whenever he had a chance, he would take the opportunity to compliment her generously.
