Chapter 82: I just want to farm in peace
……
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for bestowing upon me this Divine Spirit Artifact." Wang Shouzhe gently caressed the shield named Safety, instantly feeling a surge of security, and expressed his heartfelt gratitude to Emperor Longchang.
Although he already possessed a Divine Spirit Shield, the spirit within it, Wang Tank, had only just developed a rudimentary consciousness. Compared to the expert shield Safety, it was still lacking in many ways.
"As long as you like it. I thought Safety would suit you perfectly the moment I saw it," Emperor Longchang said with a smile, though inwardly he was muttering to himself, thinking that indeed, birds of a feather flock together—two cowards had found each other.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for making this happen. This is the best decision you've made since I've known you," Safety expressed its gratitude to the Emperor as well, finding Wang Shouzhe to be the most satisfactory owner it had ever had in its long "shield life," never having met someone so cautious.
"Hmph..." Emperor Longchang twitched his eye and turned away, not wanting to speak to Safety. If not for maintaining his imperial dignity, he would have wanted to give the shield a good beating.
"Master, I heard you mention you have another Divine Spirit Shield? Why not bring it out so we can all get acquainted?" Safety, having no fondness for the Emperor, was naturally disinclined to engage with him.
"Alright." Wang Shouzhe retrieved the shield named Tank from the Endless Abyss. It floated before him, trembling and making strange noises, as if unfamiliar and fearful of its surroundings.
Unlike Safety, which had a sleek, teardrop-shaped appearance, Tank was a heavy, solid military shield, with a square and ancient design, looking very sturdy.
