286: Leon's sparring invitation

Chapter 286: Leon's Sparring Invitation

This is a quasi-God-rank Magic Item inlaid with a 20,000-year-old extreme ice gemstone. Can you just give it away?

Putting aside the barren and desolate Northern Region, even in the wealthy Central Region of the Demon Spirit Continent, this necklace called the "heart of protection" necklace can be considered a treasure.

Although the Elf race is generally very rich due to their long lifespan, this Snow Elf Clan is too outrageous.

Dick once did market research. extreme ice gemstone is not common in the Eternal Frost Forest, especially those with high years.

A 20,000-year-old extreme ice gemstone like the one on Leon can easily fetch a sky-high price of ten-digit gold coins at an auction.

And now, Leon actually said he would give him a few, like local specialties.

An hour later, the group returned to Bit Manor. Leon immediately took Dick to his room.

"This 'heart of protection' necklace is actually my mother's, so I can't just give it to you, but I have many similar necklaces, all given by relatives during festivals..."

As the young master of the Bit Family and also the peerless genius of the Snow Elf Clan for thousands of years, Leon was truly pampered by his family.

Every birthday, Leon would receive a large number of gifts, mostly decorative Magic Items, each of which was very valuable.

But Leon is a male Elf, and he doesn't have the habit of dressing up, so most of the gifts were left idle in his room, gathering dust all day long.

Leon's room is like a palace. The cloakroom alone is hundreds of square meters, filled with beautiful decorative Magic Items. Scepters, headwear, magic robes... everything is available.

It's dazzling with jewels and treasures, making you think you've entered a magical luxury goods store.

Looking around, Dick's "Mineral Identification" and "Magic Item Identification" were constantly working, and a large number of information boxes appeared in his field of vision.

These decorative Magic Items are not low-ranked. None of them are lower than Intermediate-Rank, and a small number are even High-Rank, but there are no quasi-God-rank Magic Items.

"Dick, just pick whatever you like. Take whatever you fancy, it's just taking up space anyway..."

Leon gently waved his hand, opening hundreds of treasure boxes. Instantly, the brightness of the cloakroom went up a notch.

After looking for a while, Dick realized he had overthought it.

Indeed, there were many necklaces similar in appearance to the 'heart of protection' necklace around Leon's neck, but their ranks were not high, and the extreme ice gemstone inlaid on them hadn't even reached ten thousand years.

As expected, how could ten-thousand-year-old extreme ice gemstone be everywhere like Chinese cabbage?

If a magic stone wants to increase its age, simply relying on the passage of time is not enough. Most magic stones have an age limit and will not grow after a certain age.

In a sense, the age of a magic stone is like a person's professional talent.

If the talent is poor, no matter how hard they try or how long they live, they can never break through level 100 and become a Hero.

This is why ten-thousand-year-old extreme ice gemstone is so rare.

Leon is not a professional Blacksmith. He lacks the means to appraise Magic Items and cannot judge their quality.

Therefore, he said that these trash Magic Items were similar to the 'heart of protection' necklace. In reality, they were only similar in appearance.

Looking closely at the nearly a thousand necklaces here, there are indeed some with the same style as the 'heart of protection' necklace, but the magic stones inlaid on them cannot be compared.

Dick looked repeatedly several times but did not find any ten-thousand-year-old extreme ice gemstone. Most of them were only a few thousand years old.

It seems that the "gem ice crystal" Side Task is not that easy to complete.

"Dick, don't you like any necklaces? Perhaps you can look at other Magic Items. I haven't used most of them..."

Seeing that Dick remained silent, Leon was worried that his collection wouldn't satisfy him, so he immediately started recommending other treasures.

For his first friend, especially one with a life-and-death friendship, Leon valued him very much and wanted to satisfy Dick's needs as much as possible.

Hearing this, Dick smiled and nodded, politely thanking Leon, and prepared to casually take a Magic Item to show his appreciation.

Suddenly, Dick noticed a bow on a display wall. It was snow-white all over, exquisitely crafted, and not low-ranked, being High-Rank Primary.

But these were not the main points. The main point was the decorative gems inlaid on the bow, one of which was actually a ten-thousand-year-old extreme ice gemstone.

Just this alone made the value of this bow much higher than Magic Items of the same rank.

It's a pity that the extreme ice gemstone on this bow was only for decoration, not used as material for a magic array or a Blessing item, which was truly a waste.

As someone who had been a Blacksmith Hero for several lifetimes, Dick felt genuinely disgusted by this practice.

It was like using a divine artifact to prop up a table leg.

If this ten-thousand-year-old extreme ice gemstone could be used properly to arrange some clever miniature magic arrays or strengthen Blessings, this bow could at least reach High-Rank Advanced!

"Leon, this bow has caught my eye..."

Seeing that Dick finally had a Magic Item he was interested in, Leon was even happier than him. He immediately stood on tiptoe to take down the large bow, then handed it over with a laugh.

"This bow was a gift from an elder when I was a child," Leon scratched his head and said with a bitter smile, "But as you know, I'm a Magic Swordsman and don't use a bow."

In the past, Leon was trained as an Archer for a period of time, so many of his gifts were also related to bows and arrows.

Later, it was discovered that Leon had unparalleled talent as a Swordsman, so these beautiful bows and arrows were completely put away.

Leon was least reluctant to part with the large bow that Dick chose, and he even gave him more than a dozen High-Rank arrows.

After choosing the gift, Leon was in a good mood and actively invited Dick to stay and drink.

He believed that his gift-giving operation had greatly solidified his friendship with Dick, and he was also on the road to becoming a social butterfly. He couldn't help humming while warming the wine.

"Dick, aren't you also a Magic Swordsman like me? I didn't expect you to know how to use a bow and arrow..."

Taking a small sip of warm wine, Dick nodded and chuckled, "Hehe, I just know a little Bite, at most it's just a hobby."

"Haha, what a coincidence, I also know a little Bite. How about we spar later? You can also try out this new bow..."

Leon immediately became interested. Because he was really not good at archery, he was often ridiculed by his peers when he was a child and was even once considered the shame of Bite.

After all, in common sense, Elves are best at the Archer profession. Leon was indeed a Bite awkward when he was a child.

In archery, he had countless painful memories, all of being crushed and ridiculed by his own kind, and memories of elders being disappointed and sighing.

This also caused Leon's personality to become introverted and taciturn.

Fortunately, Leon finally found his own path and became a peerless genius.

Now, as a Magic Swordsman, Dick only knows a little Bite of archery, so he can show off a little.

Although Leon is not good at archery, he has practiced for more than twenty years, which is even older than Dick, so he can easily crush him.

For so long, Leon had never experienced success in archery. His own kind were too strong.

Looking at the eager Leon, Dick politely refused, "Let's forget it. I don't think it's necessary. It's too much trouble for you..."

For this bow, Dick only wanted the extreme ice gemstone on it, just to complete the task.

"It's no trouble, no trouble," Leon's face flushed, and he said expectantly, "Exactly, I can also guide you a Bite, after all, we Snow Elves are best at archery."

Being able to guide others in archery was something Leon had never dared to think about before. By guiding the weaker Dick, he could gain great satisfaction.

Finally, at Leon's insistence, Dick was forced to agree to the sparring.
