BXBX NOVEL Chapter 521 Bandits
Once Vincent returns to Vera City, he can easily replenish his set of potions so there shouldn\'t be any problem selling some of them.
Of course, there is one exception. He still can\'t sell his remaining Soul Wisdom Potion. He wasn\'t even using it since he was still unsure whether he should use it or let others, specifically a Celestial Being, use it.
Furthermore, the Soul Awakening\'s chance is only 30% so he felt that he should get more of these potions before thinking of consuming them.
Vincent then asked Ronan about the price of the potions and just like what Ronan previously said, these Potions can really make him rich!
He was even stunned after seeing a Peak-Grade Potion in his possession. He only knows about High-Grade Potions and he had only seen them a couple of times as well.
He had never even touched a high-grade potion and had only seen them being used by the Sages.
"Hmm… I can actually buy some of your potions right now. Five of them to be exact. Would that be alright? Since you\'ve wanted Spirit Stones, I can give you 75 Low-Tier Spirit Stones in each High-Grade Health Recovery Potions that you can sell. I\'ve given you a price that is a bit higher than the market…" Ronan said as he added 5 more spirit stones.
Apparently, Low-Grade Potions can be sold for 5 to 10 Low-Tier Spirit Stones while Mid-Grade Potions can normally be sold for 10 to 30 Low-Tier Spirit Stones.
As for High-Grade Potions, they can be sold for 50 to 80 Low-Spirit Stones.
The High-Grade Health Recovery Potions that Vincent was priced at 70 Low-Tier Spirit Stones according to Ronan.
"So you have plenty of Low-Tier Spirit Stones… 375 Low-Tier Spirit Stones… I can accept that."
"That\'s great!"
The two swiftly completed their transaction as Ronan obtained his precious potions.
"How are you normally getting Spirit Stones if I may ask?"
"Hmm? It\'s through dungeon explorations… When I was still an explorer, I\'d normally find 1 to 3 Low-Tier Spirit Stones every exploration I made."
"Eh? Isn\'t that too low? How long does this exploration last?"
"Not that long, perhaps 2 to 3 weeks in each exploration. Of course, other than Spirit Stones, we\'re also getting Beast Cores and other materials so it wasn\'t as bad as you think…" Ronan explained seeing as Vincent wasn\'t too knowledgeable about Dungeon Explorations.
He wasn\'t too sure but he can guess that the Black Tower seem to have a very limited number of Dungeons in their territory.
***
After three more hours in their journey, their next attackers have finally shown themselves.
However, they weren\'t bug beasts or normal savage beasts… Instead, they appear to be bandits!
"I didn\'t expect that the Star Garden Peak also has these kinds of people roaming around." Vincent muttered after noticing their presence.
"Haha… There are all sorts of humans wherever you are… These people must be those who were rejected by the Peaks…" Ronan mysteriously said as he slowed down the carriage.
Inside the carriage, Luna\'s voice was heard.
"Do you need help to deal with them?"
Vincent thought for a moment before he decided to agree.
"Yes… They seem to have plenty of Automatons. I want to see how the Celestials would fare against them."
"Understood…" Luna and Agatha replied as the two of them went out as soon as the carriage stopped.
This time, the carriage is already surrounded by 30 Iron Tier Automatons and 10 Brass Tier Automatons.
The people who were controlling them were only observing from 100 meters away. It appears that they have a decent mental strength to be capable of controlling Automatons at that distance.
Nevertheless, there is one person who had decided to step forward…
"We can spare your lives if you give us all your belongings… Leave the carriage now and you can walk away peacefully. Do you understand?"
The intimidating man gave no room for negotiation as he commanded them what to do…
The man has sparkling silver eyes and a scar stretching from just under the right eye. He wore a coat made of wolf fur and appears to be used to this kind of situation…
"Interesting… I\'m pretty sure that you can see in my carriage that we belong from the Eternal Sun Peak… Are you sure you want to do this?" Ronan asked in an amused tone.
"Heh… It might be different if you\'re using Gold Tier Automatons… Can\'t you see our numbers? Even if you have four Silver Knights with you… There was no way you can win against us. Now, I already said so much… I\'ll give you three seconds to surrender and leave the carriage." The bandit leader said as Ronan could only sigh.
"It seems that I\'ve been away in the field for such a long time. I didn\'t expect that our Peak could no longer scare some group of bandits." Ronan softly muttered disappointedly at the death-seeking bandit in front of him.
"Luna, Agatha… There\'s no need to hold back. Please destroy the Automatons." Vincent commanded after noticing that Ronan no longer wants to continue talking to the bandits.
Upon hearing Vincent\'s signal. Agatha swiftly made her move…
She\'s using two short blades as her main weapon and although they were not Celestial Weapons, they were still enhanced and ascended by Vincent.
She first arrived in front of a Brass Automaton that seems like a Minotaur… However, its two hands were in the shape of an axe.
The automatons controlled by the bandits weren\'t all human-like… They were more like deformed monsters. They have been heavily modified to be some sort of killer machine.
Clang! Clang!
Agatha clashed against the Minotaur Automaton… Her shorts blades parried its axe but with the Sharpness, Critical, and Pierce Attributes of the blades, it managed to cut the axe like paper!
Ssaaakk!
With a swift motion, Agatha destroyed one of the Automatons so easily…
Luna did the same but her weapon was even stronger.
It must be remembered that she has a Soul-Bound weapon! Bloodstone Armament!
Its power may be terribly ineffective against the Werewolves but against these Automatons! Luna could easily sweep through them!
