Twin Reincarnation: Epics Of The Worldline



[Lucy's POV: ]

[You have received: 120,000 Oz.]

[You have received: [(Almighty frost)] spellbook (1-time use).]

[You have received: Ring of waters (<D> Rank).]

[You have received: Bow of nightingale (<E> Rank).]

[You have received: Cursed scroll of madness.]

[You have received: 3 Arcana crystals.]

[You have received: 1 Mana elixir.]

[You have received: 1 restoration elixir.]

[You have received: 1 Agnasur.]

In the big enough treasure chest set a lone book with a metallic cover and many attractive carvings and decorations on it as well as six glowing spots illuminating the entire book; a very attractive ring that just from the look gave the feeling of multiple kinds of waters; three big chunks of indigo crestless that had a blue light glowing inside them; a white bow with gold work and a string that glistened with a unique light that indicated the magic inside this special artifact.

A closed capsule containing a magic scroll that contained a curse, a sinister power that can't be erased once it is successfully cast on a being; two small vials containing a magical liquid that had a celestial light of its own, and lastly, the thing that had stolen away the attention of not just the two of us but also all of us present in that place.

"To think we would get something like this… good, lol. Now my shadow stone is guaranteed."

It was a blazing jewel that seemed to contain a unique fire inside it. And this unique fire was more than just eye-catching for the people here.

It was almost mesmerizing and we all seemed to be drowning inside it.

And when the troll hero, probably the one with the weakest mental strength among us, touched this jewel smaller than his finger unknowingly, his entire hand was set ablaze… but he survived thanks to El's presence.

She used her water attribute magic to extinguish the fire and when it was done, she looked at the kitten in her hands.

"So? What do you think?"

It was a unique jewel that one rarely ever saw in the places like these.

'Truthfully, it is absurd something this rare is on this planet. It is just absurd.'

An Agnasur is a condensed essence left behind after the death of very few advanced-ranked fire spirits.

And from the look of this piece, even I can tell it had a very great purity.

"The spirit Mana of this piece looks to be around 4500 units… with a purity of 72%? Damn, that's a good piece."

<Nyoooooo! It's some of the best I have ever seen, Nya!>

It was surprising that we got such a good piece of gem as a practically free reward and there were many uses of this thing we can think about. But…

"So Raz baby. How would like to buy this piece from us?"

We didn't have any immediate need for an Agnasur or any kind of spirit stones for now.

We will be able to get them easily once we get out of this planet anyway so there was no need to think too much about this.

We got a good piece, it could be exchanged for the thing she wanted the most right now, and our kitten was not going to exchange an item from his secret shop just for a little piece of rock.

<El, nya, I love you and all, but, I think just this piece won't be enough for a shadow stone ma'am.>

At the end of the day, he was a merchant before anything else and he had to do what he gotta do.

"What's the base price?" And this was where I had to step up.

<It's one million two hundred thirty-four thousand six hundred and ninety-three nya.>

"So, let's see… hmmm, from what El said, the general rate of our Agnasur with 70%+ purity should be around 234 Oz per unit. And I think you mentioned a few days ago that there was a 'blissful harvest' in the elemental realm recently so, the prices should have climbed up a little.

Considering how the shadow stone is 1,234,693 Oz and we will take the prices down to at least 1,150,000 Oz after a few hours of debate anyway, I think we only lack a hundred thousand right?

Well, we already have that much thanks to this treasure chest. There doesn't seem to be anything wrong now, am I right?"

I was pretty sure just this one stone should cover most of the pricing and we already have our emergency stash saved with Eva so there was nothing for us to worry about now.

Getting this good quality piece was a strick of fortune, so I wasn't worried anymore even if this kitten of ours tries his hardest.

<No, nya! Some lucky crazy bastard ran crazy in the elemental plains and obtained many elemental crystals and put them all on the auction at the same time, nya!

That dumb son of a bitcha flipped the market and practically vanished from the face of the Worldline.

Nya, no one knows who that basted was, but if some of the merchants and buyers find him, I know they will do anything in their power to completely erase him.

So, the market price is 201 Oz per unit now.

And I'm not going down to one-one fifty, nya!>

Oh, he will go down to one-one-fifty. It wasn't in his hands.

"Not even for the forgotten Ciopicco recipe? I will write the detained version for you so that your chef can perfectly make it, or even I can make it if you behave nicely and gimme the shadow stone.

I will even let you see how I synthesize, hehe."

He was in her hands and so was this deal.

The poor little kitten never had the chance anyway.

<Noooooo! Nya! Nuuuuuuuu…>

The merchants had their own rules and regulations so many things weren't even in their hands but, the negotiations of their secret shop items were all up to them.

Still, he had to make monetary profits if he wanted to keep up his own shop working properly. And a million was no small amount so he must be reluctant. But, well, there was El…

<Whaaaa. You two are bad people. Whaaaaa…>

So there was nothing to worry about.

"Alright, so, this Agnasur would be nine forty-five, the shadow stone is one-one fifty, and the remaining would be two forty-five five hundred. Alright, do we have a deal, Raz?"

I was smiling at him, warmly, and the cute chubby kitty looked at me as if I was some daemon asking for his soul.

<Nyaaaaaaa… nyaaaaaa-! Oh! Right~. We will have the deal only if you let me open the next chest you find.>

"What…?"

Where did this come from?

"Alright~. You can do it~."

"Hmmm? El?"

And she was agreeing just like that? Where was the 'my lucky Lucy bastard' thing?

<Hehehe, nya~. Alright! We have the deal~.>

…no, wait.

"You little bastard. You will have all the Oz from the chest if you open it. Is this how you make up for your losses? Little bastard."

El must have already known about it and she agreed anyway? What the f-…

"It's going to be the reward chest after our entrance exam, hehe. There's no Oz in that one."

"Right… I almost forgot."

And her words obviously made his big, nightly eyes widen with shock. Cute, of course.

<Nooooooo! Nya, not the one you get next but the one after that-…!>

"No baby. The one after that would be a special dungeon chest. You can't have that. And besides, we already agreed on the first one, no?"

<You never- >

"Check the screen little one."

She smirked at him as if she had long seen all the things coming and played to get things in her favor.

She had accepted the deal already and only the payment confirmation remained so, the little one couldn't do anything anymore.

<Nyaaaahunhunhun. You two are bad people, bad, bad people. I'm always taking losses when we do the deals. Ahnahnahn. Whaaaaa…>

He wasn't crying or anything, not for real at least. He was a good actor, and this overacting wasn't going to work before the two of us who actually knew just how freaking rich this bastard was.

'He could practically manipulate the market with his mere words if he wanted to, that was just how much power, connections, authority, and influence this little basted had.'

But here, he was Raz. And thanks to this awakened troll hero that possessed more than a hundred and twenty thousand Oz, we didn't need to tap into our emergency funds.

============

Total: 245,500 Oz.

Complete purchase: Yes/no.

============

'It pains my heart that we are spending this much just after spending hundreds of thousands this morning. But, this is going to be worth it.'

I pressed (Yes) and an uneven black rock with cracks giving off a light that seemed to contain all the colors, appeared before our eyes.

And though the previous fairy crystal had vanished, this new one that appeared was far, far more attractive than that simple rock.

<Nya, your night stone. One that personally picked up from Worldline area #000003 XX. It's the best piece that I had so show me something cool, nya.>

'Welp, damn.'

Just the fact that he had been to one of the darkest places in the entire Worldline and even got something this valuable showed just how unique he was but, the fact that he had caused multiple cataclysms paled in front of that fact.

But, this night stone was just as gorgeous as the Solnova crystal we had, maybe even more attractive, so our money was spent well.

"Thank you, Raz~."

We had everything we needed now, and this place was pretty good for the synthesis process already, so…

"Alright~!"

She looked at me and nodded, and I nodded back and handed her my sword.

It was our first weapon, and probably I will use it till the end, but, it was time for this basic <F> ranked artifact to get its first upgrade.

And considering how much we had prepared for this…

[Command: Summon Synthesizer. Use 30 scrolls.]

Each one of those synthesizer scrolls was five thousand Oz, so just from this little thing, our Raz, as well as the bastard spectators were left stunned with open mouths.

It must be unheard of for any of them to use thirty scrolls at once, hell some of them might not even know that it was possible to use more than one scroll if you specify it.

But she did it. She used thirty scrolls, and when a unique structure was materializing in front of us, she cracked her neck and pretty fingers, stretched her body seductively, and smirked with excitement.

"Let's get started then."

She was specifically preparing for this moment for years now, and now that it was time to show off why she was the unparalleled genius I admired her to be, even I couldn't wait to see what the end results of this definite experiment would be…
