Chapter 1160: Chapter 81: I Want It All! (Part 2)

Is the land not satisfactory?

Could it be that they want his castle as collateral?

That would be too greedy.

Duncan admired the mural before him and slowly said, "I heard that the Count de Arnis family has an ancestral weapon?"

Weapon?

Count de Arnis seemed to remember something, and with slight surprise said, "Do you also know about the ancient weapon ’Chain Flail’?"

"But this weapon is not usable by outsiders."

"At least it cannot unleash its true power."

Upon hearing this, Duncan smiled slightly and said, "It doesn’t matter. But it can serve as collateral."

"And bringing it out shouldn’t affect your territory much."

Chain Flail of Ages.

A weapon steeped in legend, but its true fame was in the hands of the Slaughter Divine Son, where it shone brilliantly. In the hands of Count de Arnis’s predecessors, it likely just smashed a few powerful Giants to death.

Count de Arnis was clearly hesitating, as the weapon has already lost a part and is barely considered a high-tier weapon now, not even qualifying as legendary.

Using it as collateral indeed had minimal impact on his territory, as he himself rarely used such a weapon.

The flail wasn’t considered a conventional weapon, and their family gradually slackened in mastering the flail specialty.

But Duncan had the flail master’s specialization, and after slaying the Gnoll King Yenogu, most flails in his hands could shine brilliantly.

"My lord."

"It’s not impossible. However, it has already lost a part and only has three heads left now." Count de Arnis said honestly.

Duncan smiled and said, "It’s just a collateral."

"After you deal with the current trouble, you can redeem it back."

After hearing this, Count de Arnis did not hesitate further, saying, "Alright."

"Please wait a moment, my lord."

"I’ll fetch it now."

A moment later.

Count de Arnis returned to the study, holding a peculiar three-headed flail, with different colors representing different powers, and as an ancient weapon, it also held certain folk legends.

——Chain Flail of Ages +3 (Ancient Weapon) (High-tier Marvel) (Incomplete).

This is it.

More valuable than the Red Dragon on Wind Spear Hill, and also the best replacement Duncan could find for now, considered inferior to the Holy Avenger but far superior to general legendary weapons.

In the future, if needed, the Chain Flail of Ages has the potential to ascend into a Divine Artifact.

Duncan calmly signaled to the attendant behind him, and soon an attendant took it away, then he took out a gold-marked stamp and stamped it on a document, saying, "With this, Count de Arnis can obtain loans from anywhere in Am."

"If you require assistance from adventurers, you can also contact the church’s Priests, who have numerous connections."

The Chain Flail of Ages (Incomplete) is acquired.

This weapon is excellent at shield-breaking and can attach up to five different types of damage. Once close, few can withstand it.

A night without words.

Duncan stayed in Count de Arnis’s territory for a day, casually helping villagers clear out some harassing Giants, then left with the Temple Guards of the Wealth Church.

The struggle between the de Arnis family and the Giants would continue for a long time.

He could deal with it when free in the future.

In the event of a need, Duncan could also take over this territory in the future.

Upon returning to the capital of Am, Duncan headed straight for Wind Spear Hill, but not for the Red Dragon, rather for the woodland near Wind Spear Hill.

Under the quiet nocturnal light.

Duncan’s figure slowly stepped into it, with something hidden among the surrounding trees, sometimes with peering gazes, marked from a bird’s-eye view in yellow as Neutral Units—Tree Spirits.

——Immortal Spirit Queen (Five-star Gold).

A graceful figure full of temptation appeared under the moonlight; she gazed at Duncan before her, with a hint of hesitation in her expression, finally revealing herself slowly, saying, "Adherent of the Lady of Wealth, why have you come here?"

Duncan was shrouded in a faint golden spiritual light, very dazzling, with the scent of wealth.

He turned to look at the revealed Immortal Spirit Queen and the animal Essence that appeared beside her, calmly saying, "I heard that someone has captured Tree Spirits around here, so I came to take a look."

Upon hearing Duncan’s words, the Immortal Spirit Queen showed a trace of anger and hostility, saying in a firm voice, "Are you also here to catch us, sir?"

The yellow Neutral Mark turned to a pale red hostility.

Duncan shook his head calmly, saying, "No."

"I came to ask if you need any help?"

"Or rather."

"Do you know who took your companions?"

It’s an old problem with Mages.

Some powerful Legendary Mages would catch some Tree Spirits to warm their beds, truthfully calling them X slaves, as they have no time to waste on romance, and beautiful Tree Spirits are the easiest to catch and best to use.

"Is the lord willing to help us save our sisters?" The Immortal Spirit Queen asked with excitement.

Duncan nodded.

She quickly recounted some events that occurred not long ago, including the strange bald Mage, whose power was formidable, able to ’tempt’ or rather, command several of her sisters away in just a short time.

Tree Spirits sometimes willingly follow Mages, only to want to escape when realizing they are merely living tools.

They most favor Druids, but competition around the Great Druid is fierce, and even Tree Spirits might not earn a titular position.

There are too many nature fairies, and Elves have a close connection with the Great Druid.
