Chapter 85: Weapon that Moved Mountains to Pay for!
Nora’s eyes locked onto the flame-red crystal in Yone’s hand like a cat spotting a dangling ribbon. Her earlier indifference vanished; now, her gaze trailed the crystal with hungry fascination.
Rare forging materials were a weakness even for someone as aloof as Nora.
All forgers shared one obsession: to craft something epic and beyond that, even, an artifact that would reverberate across the world. But to make such a thing, you needed extraordinary materials. The True Ice Dagger, for instance, had gained its fearsome reputation thanks to the Mermaid’s Core, its core component.
And the Mermaid’s King? That monster wasn’t just powerful, it was a force of nature. A single wave of his hand from it could wipe out a city. Its very presence warped reality. Forging a weapon from its core wasn’t just rare, it bordered on myth. Yet the result, the True Ice Dagger, became the ninety-ninth strongest weapon in Eclipse Online, its power feared even centuries later.
"Would you consider selling that crystal?" Nora asked at last, her voice soft but intense.
Yone didn’t hesitate. He shook his head. "I’m afraid not. Lord Chester asked me to bring it to you for a custom commission. But if you’re too busy, I’ll find Master Han instead. I hear he’s available."
"What? That old relic?" Nora’s eyes widened. "You’d seriously hand a material like this to Han? He’d butcher it! If you want something forged, I’ll do it. And since you’re an Assassin, I could probably shape this into a high-grade Raging Flame. But hand it to that fossil, and you might as well toss it in a furnace!"
Nora stared at Yone with her almond-shaped eyes, her hands on her hips; she looked like an angry lioness. This scene dumbfounded Yone; he did not know what to say in this situation.
Before, Nora simply reacted with cold indifference towards him, yet now, she was so obedient?
The Raging Flame was a weapon that only Nora knew how to create, and it was also her most famous creation. It was a weapon that all Assassins dreamt of having.
