First of all.
The fact that he saw the information regarding the item just as he normally would if the item was his once again proved Ellis' ability to be amazing!
Northern couldn't help but bless the day they met.
In fact, his momentary sentiment made him look at Ellis with shining eyes.
Causing the latter to frown in confusion, "What? The decision is yours to make... I can't do that to him."
Of course, Ellis would have thought that Northern wanted him to check the abilities of the item before they went further with any negotiations.
But for someone who had offended Hao once already, this was unfair.
So, he was pretty determined not to.
Northern looked back at the item nonchalantly. He knew what direction Ellis' line of thought had taken, but right now, he didn't care. He didn't care about any misunderstanding at all!
Because this amulet in front of him was indeed a Heroic rank item with six orders. Six!
If he gained this, it would be the best item in his soul shelf.
'Calm down, let's not rush this... let me stylishly inspect the orders.'
Northern focused his eyes on the necklace, internally using the [See] ability.
The panel reappeared about it. But that was all.
No matter how much he tried to look down, squinted his eyes and activated it over and over again, nothing happened.
Time was now beginning to go, and the eerie silence in the small hut was beginning to get bothersome.
So Hao had to ask:
"So what's ya decision? Ya getting it or nay?"
Northern was left in a dilemma.
'It's cool... but all my items?'
While he had seen some signs that this was undoubtedly going to be an impressive item, he still thought giving all his items just for this one was too much.
He finally removed his eyes from the necklace and turned to Hao.
"I know this item is amazing, as you have said. But all my items, isn't that too much?"
The transaction continued while Northern continued to look around the place.
While they were amazing, he felt Hao was being sincere.
Those two were really his best items.
'But why would he just give them to me like that...' he wondered.
Seriously, it was beginning to seem shady now that he thought about it.
'Am I being led into some kind of trap? Come to think of it, his actions since the beginning have been suspicious. I mean, he brought us to some strange place outside the capital city.'
"Ha, quite interesting, these are actually interesting items. I'm not disappointed."
Northern turned to Hao as he made the comment.
"Can I have mine now?" He asked politely.
"Ah, yes," Hao took the robe first and passed it to Northern.
Immediately, Northern could feel an addition in his soul. It wasn't a feeling that could be put into words, it was a feel every drifter knew.
Then Hao took the amulet, he looked at the sparkling silver pendant and sighed, then passed it to Northern.
'I can tell it hurts him to pass it...'
The Charm item was amazing enough already, and if by further inspection, it turned out to be more amazing, it meant Hao had indeed given him a great treasure.
Which furthermore reinforced the question.
'Why?'
Northern, for a couple of minutes, stared tentatively at Hao, who was just doing his thing, packing back the boxes.
Ellis moved closer to him and whispered:
"Is everything okay? Your glare is piercing..."
"Yeah, I know..." Northern dismissed the necklace in his hand, as he had done with the cloth earlier, then he folded his arms.
A couple of beats later, his voice rang out:
"Hao."
"What?" Hao responded as he crouched and pushed the box back beneath the shelf.
Northern's brow slowly furrowed as his lips parted.
"Why?..."
"Hey..." Ellis silently urged him.
But Northern completely ignored him, his eyes fixed on Hao's back.
"Why are you doing this? I don't understand why you will give your best possessions to someone you barely even know."
Ellis felt like he was going to die of a heart attack one day...
'Why....why...why do you have to ask that?!'
