Chapter 438 - 432 House of Hope
Leon stayed with Charis’s affection for a day; the tastes of the drow twins were genuinely too intense. He briefly appreciated the performance and then summarized what he had to do.
His hard journey to Ferren was mainly for the Karsus Crown and the accompanying Nether Stone, to fish for some benefits in murky waters and rewrite some regrettable plotlines due to game limitations... if the Tomb Guardian, whose true identity was the Ancient Death God, Record Keeper, and Eternal Clerk, didn’t stop him.
Karas was a kind-hearted girl who deserved a better ending.
Though Will was black, it didn’t prevent him from being a good person, and he was a rare purist advocate.
As for the Githyanki, Comet Prince’s personality was exemplary, but he shouldn’t interfere in the Githyanki’s internal affairs... if he wanted to, he could, unless he had to appease Vilakis. The only reason he wouldn’t interfere in the Githyanki’s internal affairs was that he found it bothersome.
Next, the technology to manufacture Steel Guardians was not worth mentioning... not to mention that manufacturing Steel Guardians requires a lot of Hell Iron, as ordinary metals can’t withstand the high temperatures of the Hell Engine, and manufacturing them is inherently restricted by the Nine Prisons. Just speaking of the technology to manufacture Steel Guardians originating from the Nine Prisons, if he wanted it, why abandon the root for the branches?
Furthermore, Rafael’s mansion in Aphnas, namely the House of Hope, not only has a vast array of precious treasures but also Orpheus’s Hammer. Although it is a quest item in the game, in reality, Rafael created it by using hellish labor to find rare materials, capable of destroying any chains created by Hell’s Hand. Its uses are boundless.
"It’s you, my great benefactor, my pillow princess Rafael."
Leon quickly made a decision, first to make a trip to the House of Hope, and ransack Rafael’s mansion. Considering that after using his Plane Talisman, it requires a significant time to recharge, and changing through the Star Realm to Aphnas is quite troublesome, Leon planned to visit a shop named Devil’s Trinket.
He remembered the shop owner’s name was Helsik, the Contract Master of the Greedy Duke Mammon, the lord of Minauros, the third layer of the Nine Prisons, who knew how to open the Teleportation Gate to the Nine Prisons.
