Chapter 354: Secrets of the Tower
As Alfreda put away the last item, Max couldn’t ignore the scowl on Everett’s face.
“You had two of those items… one of which has no record of where it came from.”
His fingers tapped the jar of silver liquid he had taken from Igarra’s collection, part of the crafting material that Buwingrid had shown him on that planet.
How this got here is a question I would be interested in also. Does that mean the tower can drop items from a system that ours isn’t supposed to have? Like all those robotic ones?
Potentially. Though dropping those items isn’t the problem. It’s finding a use for them. There may be ways of to craft with them that none have knowledge of but that once someone did. If Everett is right, that item could be over three hundred years old.
“I think you’re right, but after pondering that thought a bit, how many items do you have that adventurers have brought in over the years that no one can figure out a real use for?”
Scratching his gray hair, the Faction leader frowned.
“Many materials go into a scrap section, melted down or dismantled. Some things end up as basic crafting supplies if we can’t find a real use for them. Eventually, we would have overflowed with stuff if everything someone brought back was kept. You wouldn’t believe the number of adventurers who used to chop up trees, bringing them back and trying to sell them. It’s not a bad business, but one doesn’t get rich fast because eventually, the truth is most places don’t have the ability to craft with those materials.”
He paused, his eyes moving side to side, and Max knew what he was doing.
