NOVEL NEXT Chapter 461：Avery Announces
"Charles? You can't be mistaken, can you? Are you sure this shoe is orange-quality?" Luna asked with some confusion.
Her first reaction was to refuse because orange-quality weapons and equipment were crucial for enhancing the strength of a Beast Master.
Especially between intermediate and low-level Beast Masters, a good weapon could instantly turn the tide of battle and kill the enemy!
Luna had originally thought that what Charles had chosen for her was a purple-quality weapon, but she didn't expect it to be orange-quality!
Luna took a deep breath and handed the [Gale Bird Feather Shoes] back to Charles, saying:
"You should keep it, it's too precious." Luna's words were not a feigned refusal but came from the heart.
Such a valuable piece of equipment was certainly better suited for Charles!
However, everyone present was unaware of the helplessness that Charles felt at that moment.
He had too many weapons and equipment, and even the orange-quality [Overlord Heavy Armor] hadn't been used in a long time.
Moreover, neither the [Gale Bird Feather Shoes] nor the [Thunder Breaker Spear] was particularly suitable for him.
He had originally intended to give the [Thunder Breaker Spear] to Zachary to help him increase his strength, but Charles had found an even more suitable supreme spear in the meantime, which was the dark red supreme spear.
Thinking back to the information about that dark red supreme spear,
[Bloodthirsty Gun [purple-quality]: The entire supreme spear is forged from special bloodthirsty materials. In battles with enemies, the killing intent and bloodshed on the supreme spear can not only affect the enemy's mind but also absorb their blood, nourishing the user's vitality.
Effect: Absorption, by absorbing the enemy's blood, transfers the vitality from the blood to the user, enhancing their own vitality and strength.]
Charles recalled that during the last exchange competition among the three academies, Zachary had used a special [combat technique], Burning Vitality, to defeat Grace.
And this [Bloodthirsty Gun] could perfectly help Zachary recover.
It would also complement Zachary's special [combat technique] that consumed vitality.
"Just keep it, the supreme spear I have is also orange-quality, so there's no need to worry that I haven't chosen a suitable weapon." Charles's calm voice slowly echoed.
The atmosphere in the royal treasury instantly turned cold and silent.
Zachary, Finn, Luma, and the others took a deep breath, somewhat unable to believe their ears.
What?
Not only was the pair of shoes in Luna's hands orange-quality, but the supreme spear in Charles's hands was also orange-quality?
In the vast royal treasury, filled with countless weapons and equipment, finding high-quality gear was a very challenging task.
To suddenly discover two pieces of orange-quality equipment was almost impossible!
Even Xavier, the president of the Genosha Forging Masters Guild, could not achieve such a feat, let alone Charles, an eighteen-year-old boy.
At that moment, Grace's cold laughter broke the somewhat silent atmosphere.
"Hmph, anyone can make jokes, just picking two pieces of equipment at random without even looking and claiming they are orange-quality is truly hypocritical!"
Grace sneered, feeling bored in her heart.
In her eyes, a commoner like Charles was nothing but hypocritical and arrogant.
An eighteen-year-old boy, even if skilled in weapon appraisal, couldn't possibly determine the quality of a weapon just by glancing at it!
No one could achieve that level!
"Frank's plan may have failed, but at least Charles hasn't obtained anything useful, the equipment he chose clearly won't do!" Grace tightly gripped her purple-quality weapon, the [Dragon Scale Silver Spear], feeling a surge of triumph.
Although everyone wanted orange-quality weapons, they were too difficult to obtain. Rather than getting caught up in the pursuit of orange-quality gear, it was better to choose a purple-quality weapon that could be acquired immediately.
"Soon, after we go out, we will see Charles's trash being laughed at by everyone." Grace slowly walked towards the door of the royal treasury.
Outside the door, Prince Avery of Genosha and his son Frank were standing not far away, eagerly waiting.
"Father, although Charles's talent is indeed impressive, he is too arrogant. I just want to remind him that high-quality weapons in the treasury are not so easy to select."
"What if, under Charles's influence, Zachary, Finn, and the others end up choosing useless weapons? Wouldn't that diminish the strength of our Genosha talents?" Frank spoke slowly.
Avery didn't even glance at his son, as if the person before him did not exist at all. He kept his gaze fixed on the exit of the royal treasury, quietly waiting for Charles's appearance.
Did he not know what kind of person Charles was?
Last time, when he led others into the royal treasury, it was he who not only selected an orange-quality piece but also helped a soldier choose suitable equipment.
He even misled the Taylor family into choosing a worthless weapon with just a slight twist of his mind!
Therefore, Avery had no reason to believe that his son Frank's plan could succeed.
Perhaps others might have a chance, but the target of the plan was Charles!
There was absolutely no possibility!
Avery took a deep breath, and under his gaze, a figure slowly emerged, joyfully striding toward Avery and Frank.
It was Grace! She was the first to come out.
"Well, did Charles fall for it?" Frank asked, his face full of anticipation. If all went as expected, Charles would certainly miss the opportunity to select high-quality weapons because of his plan.
That would be the outcome of opposing him!
However, the next moment, Grace's voice rang out beside him:
"Sorry, from the very beginning, Charles showed no signs of being influenced. In a way, your plan unexpectedly succeeded, as Charles chose nothing but some ordinary items."
Thinking of this, Grace nearly laughed out loud and continued:
"He even picked up a regular supreme spear and a pair of shoes, claiming that those two items were orange-quality."
"Perhaps, as a commoner, he really wanted an orange-quality weapon too much and got confused."
A broad smile spread across Grace's face, she could hardly wait to see how Charles would embarrass himself later.
Frank instantly became excited, he wanted to burst into laughter, but the injury on his face ached intensely.
"How pathetic, Charles is still dreaming. Two orange-quality weapons? Why not say you have a golden-quality weapon?" Frank thought to himself.
He shifted his gaze to the [Dragon Scale Silver Spear] in Grace's hands, feeling a twinge of regret.
This was a purple-quality weapon, and she was just giving it away?
Grace didn't register it first or ask Avery for the information about the [Dragon Scale Silver Spear], instead, she stepped aside and waited quietly.
However, what puzzled Grace slightly was that Avery, who had been expressionless, seemed to recall something and was now in a daze after hearing her words.
Not thinking much of it, Grace turned her head back to the entrance of the royal treasury, tightly gripping the Dragon Scale Silver Spear, and a satisfied smile appeared on her face.
Amid the anticipation of the group, Charles's figure slowly emerged, and he instantly sensed that Avery's gaze was somewhat complicated.
Avery slowly swallowed, his Adam's apple moving up and down, looking at the supreme spear in Charles's hand and the shoes in Luna's hand with a very complex tone as he said:
"Ah, you two waited until the end, I never expected such a thing to happen. Now His Majesty might..."
Halfway through his sentence, Avery abruptly shut his mouth.
What Genosha Emperor Miles would think was not something he could comment on.
"Luma, are you sure you want to choose this longsword? Once you confirm, there will be no chance for regret, and there's no time to go back into the treasury to select again." Avery's voice slowly rang out.
Grace and Frank instinctively perked up their ears, wanting to know what kind of trash Charles had picked for Luma!
Finn, Zachary, and Luna were also extremely curious, as during their time in the treasury, due to time constraints, Charles had not explained much, so they did not know much about the weapons they held.
"First of all, congratulations, this is a purple-quality weapon named the [Meteoric Iron Longsword]!" Avery's voice rang out suddenly.
The surroundings fell silent for a moment, and Luma instinctively hugged the longsword close to her chest, looking at the Meteoric Iron Longsword in disbelief.
"Purple, purple, is it really purple-quality?" Luma stuttered slightly as he spoke, overwhelmed with excitement.
He suddenly turned around, looking at Charles with eyes full of gratitude, unsure of what to say.
Not to mention a purple-quality weapon, even if this longsword had a blue quality, it would still be enough to make him excited and happy.
On the other side, Grace's mouth fell open in shock, her eyes wide as she questioned her own ears.
"Charles didn't even look closely, he just glanced at it a few times and determined that the longsword was purple-quality?"
"No, it can't be!"
"It must be that Charles got lucky, it has to be. Because of his good luck, the other weapons must all be garbage!"
Grace kept repeating this in her mind.
