NOVEL NEXT Chapter 460: Orange Quality!
Zachary hesitated as he followed Charles's gaze, only to see two supreme spears displayed on a rack. One of them was silver-white, shimmering brightly under the sunlight, with intricate dragon scale patterns that made it hard to look away.
Zachary had his eyes fixed on the impressive-looking silver supreme spear, completely oblivious to the dark red supreme spear next to it.
"Charles, you don't need to explain too much." Zachary said. "I trust you. If it were me, I would choose the silver supreme spear without hesitation!" Unable to contain his excitement, he pushed off the ground slightly, and his body swiftly moved towards the silver supreme spear like a nimble swallow.
However, at that moment, an unusual situation occurred.
Charles quickly shouted, "You're mistaken! It's not the silver supreme spear, it's that dark red one!"
At the same time, Grace, who stood in front of Charles and the others, showed no hesitation and directly summoned a mystical beast, using [Beast Mastery].
In an instant, the air seemed to come alive.
Without using any special [combat techniques] to enhance his strength, Zachary's reaction speed naturally fell far behind Grace's.
The dazzling silver supreme spear was already firmly in Grace's grasp.
"This is mine!" Grace shouted fiercely, suddenly retreating. She thought that since she hadn't gotten the weapon she wanted, Zachary would relentlessly pursue her and forcefully try to snatch it away. The next moment, Grace's pupils narrowed, and she stepped forward two paces as if she had discovered something unacceptable, her face filled with shock as she looked at Zachary.
From her perspective, ever since Zachary heard Charles's shout, his body had not changed direction at all, he moved straight toward the dark red supreme spear, not even glancing at the exceptionally beautiful silver supreme spear in her hand.
"You really don't intend to take the weapon from me?" Grace asked, her eyes wide open, instinctively inquiring.
Grasping the dark red supreme spear, Zachary slowly turned his head and glanced at Grace, responding:
"To be honest, at first, Charles didn't specify which weapon he meant. I actually really wanted the silver supreme spear in your hand."
"However, since Charles has said it, then this dark red supreme spear in my hand must be better than yours!"
Zachary flashed a smile.
When Charles gave Luma the choice of weapons earlier, he had felt puzzled and asked a question or two, but it didn't change Luma's decision.
He trusted Charles's judgment!
After all, he knew that last time Charles had chosen an orange-quality weapon from the royal treasury!
Following Charles was definitely the right choice!
At that moment, Grace looked at Zachary with the gaze of someone looking at a fool and slowly said, "You really trust Charles that much? You should know that this silver supreme spear in my hand was personally told to me by Frank to be a purple-quality supreme spear, named [Dragon Scale Silver Spear]!"
"If you hadn't been interrupted by Charles just now, that [Dragon Scale Silver Spear] might have been yours!"
"What a pity, what a shame, that you were foolish enough to choose to believe in a commoner like Charles. When you go out and find out that your dark red supreme spear is just a white or green quality weapon, you'll have plenty to regret."
Grace's tone was filled with certainty, everything she had just said was true!
So focused on what kind of worthless trash Charles would pick, she almost let Zachary steal the [Dragon Scale Silver Spear] from her!
Fortunately, that foolish kid Zachary chose to trust Charles.
Once they left and confirmed their chosen weapons, there would be no opportunity to change them.
At that time, she would definitely take the chance to mock these people's stupidity. A commoner's words, and they believed them without even a second thought?
"Perhaps Luma, Finn, Zachary, and Luna will secretly blame Charles in their hearts. When that time comes, I will take advantage of the situation and make Charles lose face!" Grace thought to herself.
When Zachary returned with the dark red supreme spear, Finn and Luma immediately gathered around, curiously staring at the dark red supreme spear in Zachary's hand.
Luma cautiously asked, "So, how does it feel to hold the supreme spear?"
Zachary instinctively swung the dark red supreme spear with a sudden flourish, and a strong scent of blood swept through the air.
"What is this? The smell of blood?" Finn frowned and quickly turned to glance at the calm Charles, swallowing the words that were about to escape his lips.
His mind raced with thoughts:
"I've only heard that some high-quality weapons, when used or carried for long periods, can drain the user's life force!"
"Could it be that Charles is unaware of this and misjudged it?"
Finn looked at Zachary, who was filled with excitement, and the unusually strong smell of blood that accompanied Zachary's movements with the supreme spear.
Finally, Finn couldn't hold back any longer. He quietly tugged at Charles's sleeve and whispered:
"Is that dark red supreme spear really suitable for Zachary?"
Charles glanced at the worried Finn and understood that he was thinking of Zachary's well-being.
"Don't worry, it's a purple-quality supreme spear, quite suitable for Zachary. By the way, what kind of weapon do you want?" Charles asked slowly,
as he had hardly ever seen Finn use a weapon and was a bit uncertain.
"A bow, a longbow!" Finn answered without hesitation.
Since Charles said that Zachary's dark red supreme spear was fine, it should indeed be okay.
The reason he chose a longbow as his desired weapon was simple: the team currently lacked a presence capable of providing long-range support.
With many [combat techniques], Finn was the most suitable candidate for this role of long-range support.
"It's hard to believe that when the enemy gets close to you and engages in close combat, you will be facing a powerful Beast Master who has mastered [The Affliction of Mutated Beast Mastery]." Charles thought silently as he glanced at Finn.
He only took a few moments to fully understand Finn's intentions.
However, finding a longbow was proving to be somewhat challenging. Charles looked at the vast number of weapons and equipment before him and fell into a lengthy search.
As the time limit approached, Charles finally found a purple-quality longbow, and relevant information instantly appeared in his view:
[Azure Drakehorn Longbow [purple-quality]: Forged from rare high-tier mystical beast materials, it possesses tremendous power, with a bowstring that can be adjusted, and can also serve as a weapon for killing when necessary!
Effect: Rapid Fire, consumes a certain amount of stamina, allowing for a large number of arrows to be shot in quick succession to suppress enemies.]
So far, Zachary, Luma, Finn, and Grace had all chosen their weapons and equipment, leaving only Charles and Luna without selections.
"What kind of equipment do you want? There's still some time left, we can make it." Charles said to Luna.
Luna immediately replied, "As long as it's not an especially difficult weapon to wield, I can use anything!"
Charles thought for a moment, among these people, he and Luna were the strongest, followed by Finn, Grace, and the others.
When he last visited the royal treasury, Charles had seen two pieces of orange-quality equipment.
The weapons and equipment he currently possessed were not only of high quality but also abundant!
He had long since lost interest in ordinary-quality weapons, only orange-quality weapons could pique his interest.
"By the way, there aren't many orange-quality weapons in the royal treasury. If I take them all, won't the king be angry?" Charles mused to himself, then quickly dismissed the thought.
After all, these weapons would just gather dust in the royal treasury and wouldn't be of much use, it was better to let them be taken and utilized in the fight against Kingston.
As he contemplated, Charles made his way back to the place he had visited last time.
Soon, he saw the information prompt appear before him:
[Thunder Breaker Spear [orange-quality]: The spearhead is forged from the horn of an eighth-tier ferocious beast, the Lightning Unicorn, while the spear shaft is crafted from a mix of various rare metals, making it hard yet somewhat flexible.
Effect: Can actively release a large-area lightning attack through the supreme spear, causing widespread paralysis and fainting among enemies.]
[Gale Bird Feather Shoes [orange-quality]: Made from the feathers of the rare high-tier ferocious beast, the Gale Bird, these shoes can enhance the user's speed and reduce stamina consumption during long-distance running.
Effect 1: Instant Burst, allows the user to dash forward a certain distance.
Effect 2: Gliding, when falling from a height, the user will glide down instead of plummeting directly.]
"These must be the last two pieces of orange-quality equipment in the royal treasury." Charles thought as he looked at the [Thunder Breaker Spear] and the [Gale Bird Feather Shoes], and without any hesitation, he picked them up.
"This shoe-type equipment is for you, it's orange-quality." Charles said as he directly handed the [Gale Bird Feather Shoes] to Luna.
Luna, who had previously shown little expression, suddenly opened her rosy lips wide and repeated in disbelief, "Orange-quality?"
Her eyes widened as she began to question her own ears.
As the daughter of Minister Nathaniel, Luna knew very well that there were indeed a few good items in the royal treasury, but the difficulty of obtaining them was incredibly high.
She never expected that there would be one right in front of her!
