Chapter 18

Adoma was babbling in Kane’s ear.

After she finished talking about her secret little intelligence, she couldn’t help but start gossiping about other things.

Adoma didn’t care if Kane wanted to hear it or not now. She went on chatting.

“You know, Chucky just came back to deliver the report and file it. Oh, by the way, do you know anything about Chucky?”

She cocked her head, her round eyes fixed on Kane.

Kane sighed and met her gaze with calm eyes, keeping a smile on his lips.

When Kane didn’t answer but just stared at her, Adoma seemed to read his caring expression.

She knocked her head and said awkwardly, “Yes, how could you possibly know Chucky? Haha.”

“Hehe, where were we?” Adoma asked sheepishly, rubbing the goat horns that spiraled downward from her head.

“Send back the report!” Kane said helplessly.

The strings in her brain were reconnected. “Oh, right, right.”

“Chucky said that the new copper-colored dungeon was cleared by a lucky person in one go. I heard that it was the first time he explored the dungeon. They said that they were already prepared to go in and collect his corpse.

In the end, that person cleared the dungeon. He’s an ordinary person. An ordinary person cleared the red-label copper dungeon in one go.” Adoma’s voice suddenly rose, and everyone around turned to look at her.

She smiled embarrassedly at the people around her and continued in a low voice, “I heard that that person was teleported here by Nando. You know who that person is, right?”

Her watery eyes were fixed on Kane. She was just short of pointing a finger at his head and telling him ‘it was you’.

“Yeah.”

Kane grunted in exasperation at her expression.

“Well, that means you admit it, right? You’re the one.”

She spoke quickly, afraid Kane was lying to her.

Kane gave up struggling and said helplessly, “Yes, that person is me.”

With her hands clamped over her mouth, Adoma sealed her throat to stop herself from screaming.

“Wuwu, wuwuwu.”

She wanted to speak but covered her mouth again with her hand. She could only whimper to express her feelings.

Kane reached out and patted her head, touching her goat horns in passing.

Hard, but not very rough.

He’d been looking for a chance to touch this horn, if not for the fear of being arrested by the patrol.

“Don’t be agitated. Calm down.”

Adoma took a few deep breaths and reached out to brush her chest hard to calm her breathing.

His eyes followed the hand. It was so big. No, I mean the clothes were so white.

The girl suddenly felt strange and looked sharply at Kane.

Kane was looking at her with a puzzled expression. “I’m just a Mist Warrior. Is there a need to be so excited?”

“Of course I’m excited.” She looked excited. The thought had left her. “That’s a Mist Warrior. I’ve never seen one alive.”

“When I was young, Mom would always tell me stories about the Mist Warriors.

So can you show me? That’s the thing, the one unique to that warrior.” She clasped her hands together and pressed them against her chin. Her wide eyes shone with worshipful stars that revealed a plea.

Kane’s vanity rose straight up. He pulled open his jacket to reveal the badge on his lining.

The pleading figure immediately bent down, her face almost touching Kane’s chest.

Then the face came closer.

He saw that she was about to press her entire body against him and slapped the back of her head.

“Ouch.”

She patted her head and straightened up.

“Have you seen it?

I still have something to do, so I’ll leave first. See you later.” Kane didn’t give her a chance to wave and ran to the magic shop.

It was a pity, but Adoma didn’t force him to stay. Instead, she stood on tiptoe and waved at Kane’s doppelganger. “Later, Kane.”

Being a Mist Warrior was nothing to hide. The world produced a few every few years.

No one would attack the warriors of the world. It would be a thankless act.

The badge was just proof that the future was promising.

He came to the side of the front desk.

He walked into the magic shop. Magic items for display hung on the walls everywhere. Small round golden shields, fluttering robes, moving portraits.

The counter displayed exquisite magical ornaments. Sapphire rings, wrist guards studded with gems, and luxurious necklaces.

Behind the counter was a thin figure wearing a sorcerer’s pointy hat and a robe. He was looking at a headband with something embedded in it on a production table. There were two light blue translucent hands helping him from behind.

“Guest, don’t be anxious. Wait a moment.”

The particles of magic were converging on the object in his hand. A tiny ripple appeared and disappeared.

From the looks of it, this item had been successfully embedded.

The owner waved away the beads of sweat on his head and turned to Kane.

“May I know what you need?”

Kane walked over and took the Legion Captain’s Sword from his bag.

He placed the sword in front of him.

The thin hands picked up the one-handed sword and examined it carefully. Then he said,

“Copper quality, with Sharp Magic. 400 gold coins. Non-negotiable.”

This was higher than what Kane had expected. After some thought, he said, “Deal.”

Hearing Kane’s answer, the boss turned to get the money.

“Don’t be anxious. I still have something.”

The thin figure turned back and waited quietly.

Kane then took out the proof of assassination of the dungeon leader and handed it to the boss.

After the boss took it, he put on the thick lens at his chest and examined the proof carefully.

“You’re quite lucky, young man. I haven’t seen this thing in a long time.” He took off the single-lens camera and appraised it. “A passerby assassin martial arts learning device from the opera group. It has a low production rate and is priceless.”

He thought for a moment. “If you sell it to me, I can pay you 1,350 gold coins. That’s above the market price.”

“Not so fast.” Kane smiled. “I have another big baby. I wonder if the boss is interested.”

The boss’s gaze was a little strange. No, what kind of treasure can a lowly copper Explorer produce?

After staring at Kane for a long moment, he shook his head and gestured for Kane to take it out for him to see.

Kane took the gem out of his pocket and held it in his hand. He slowly opened it to the boss.

As his palm opened, the boss’s expression changed from confusion to shock.

“I only heard that the ruins of the trade route dissipated this morning. I didn’t expect you to be the one to clear the last dungeon.”

Looking at Kane’s young age, he couldn’t help but sigh. “Although this thing is rare, I can’t even give you a market price.

If you’re not in a hurry to use the money, you can put it up for auction at the Glorious Auction in two months. Send it to the auction a month in advance. They will definitely publicize it. At that time, the auction price will be even higher.”

Hearing his boss’s explanation, Kane was very grateful. “Thank you for telling me this.”

He could have bought it and auctioned it himself first.

The boss waved his hand. “I was once an explorer. Seeing you reminded me of the past.

Do you need any more help, lad?”

“Do you have any magic materials that drop from the dungeon, similar to this?” Kane took out the Golden Desire and handed it to the boss.

The boss looked at it and said, “This kind of magic material is basically produced in every dungeon. It’s a hard currency that costs a lot of money.”

Then he pointed to a nearby container. “This is it. The price depends on the magic fluctuations inside.”

Kane took a trace. This one cost 210 gold.

When he came to the counter to pay, the boss handed Kane a money bag. “A total of 1,510 gold coins.”

Kane hefted it to make sure it was okay.

He took his things and said goodbye to the boss.
