Chapter 355: The Fact About Ascetics

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Tristana was surprised that Su Wan and Xu Yuan hadn’t heard about ascetics.

...

“Ascetics aren’t very rare, but they are an advanced class of warriors. You can choose them after level 10.”

However, very few warriors chose to be ascetics because it was very difficult to level up as an ascetic.

Ascetics couldn’t wear defensive armor or carry weapons. They could only engage in hand-to-hand combat.

Ascetics had to increase the strength of their bodies to be able to level up. It was common for ascetics to venture into dangerous terrains to train themselves. That kind of suffering was not something that ordinary people could bear.

With such hard work, most ascetics developed a body that was as strong as a dragon’s.

They were so strong that they could fight several heroes of the same level single-handedly.

…..

As for the legendary ascetics, they were immensely powerful. Archduke Qing You probably could resist the dragon’s breath and walk into lava all naked.

“My father used to say that ascetics might be one of the strongest people to exist,” said Tristana.

Su Wan was deep in thought. She needed to be careful if she ever encountered ascetics in the future. People who trained in such brutal conditions wouldn’t be weak.

Su Wan couldn’t ever imagine fighting enemies barehanded.

“Then, let’s go visit Archduke Qing You. I want to see what a legendary ascetic looks like,” said Su Wan.

“Archduke Qing You’s daughter usually handles the transactions. Her Highness, Bayion, is in charge of the trade. We might not get to meet Archduke Qing You,” said Tristana.

George led them through the narrow path. A group of people were gathered in front of a shop that was huge. It could accommodate thousands of people.

On the huge plaque in front of them, the words “Qing You Pavilion Chamber of Commerce” flashed on a board.

Dozens of statues of flying horses were embossed on the outer walls.

At the entrance, there were two rows of ten-meter-tall magic stone statues holding long axes to guard the sides. They were all top-tier troops.

People entered and left the structure. The place seemed bustling with activity.

George led them through the entrance.

The ceiling of the place was dome-shaped. It was carved with complicated patterns. Huge oil paintings hung on the walls.

A staff member approached them. “Dear guests, the Qing You Pavilion Chamber of Commerce welcomes you. I’m at your service. What exactly are you looking for?”

“I’m looking for some high-quality armor,” said Su Wan.

“What class?”

“S-class armors.”

“All equipment and treasures of that level are on the second floor. Please follow me,” said the middle-aged staff member with a wide smile.

Su Wan followed him along with the others. They passed through the crowd and arrived at the stairs. Before they could make their way up, they heard some commotion.

A few Lords stood in front of an old man with a goatee, looking very frustrated. On the counter were some damaged items.

It was obvious that the Lords had returned from the wilderness to sell their treasures.

There was a rusty sword, a broken shield, and a broken longbow.

The things carried a musty aura. They seemed to be corroded by time. They were probably picked up from some ancient ruin.

“Sometimes there are Lords who don’t know the origin and the level of the treasure they bring along. Occasionally… they get into disputes,” said the middle-aged man who had led them to the stairs.

The group paid no attention and started up the stairs.

“This is legendary equipment. Even if it’s damaged, it should be worth something! What you’re giving me is so little!” The argument became more intense.

“Sir, I’m being honest. What 1 showed you is what it’s worth. The Qing You Pavilion Chamber of Commerce hasn’t ever lied to anyone.”

“You’re lying! Last time, you offered three times the current price!”

One of the Lords turned and saw the middle-aged man. He pointed at the stairs. “We sold it to him last week! Call him over!”

The old man with a goatee behind the counter turned to look at the middle-aged man who was leading Su Wan and her group up the stairs. The man looked embarrassed.

He would suggest moving the treasure acquisition area to the back later.

The commotion had drawn many people. The middle-aged man couldn’t just ignore the Lord and leave.

He smiled and apologized to Su Wan and her group. “Please give me a moment.”

He called a staff member and assigned him the task of accompanying the customers to the designated floor. He then turned and walked down the stairs.

Xu Yuan was intrigued. He wasn’t in a hurry to go up. He walked down the stairs and got closer to the crown. Su Wan and the rest followed him.

“I sold similar treasures last time. Why is the price lower than half this time?” The Lord held a rusty sword and glared at the middle-aged man and the man with the goatee.

When the middle-aged man saw Su Wan and the group approach the crowd, he looked indignant.

“Sir, listen to me. We took the items that you sold to the blacksmith for repair. The blacksmith said the items were beyond repair. It wasn’t worth it. If we cannot repair the weapons you sell to us, then they’ll all go to waste.”

“How do I know if you’re telling the truth? You might be lying too!”

“That’s fair. If you don’t believe me, you can try selling the treasures at another shop and see how much it fetches you.”

Xu Yuan looked interested. There was something strange about the whole thing. If the Qing You Pavilion Chamber of Commerce had offered them a high price last time but were offering half of that this time, something must have happened.

Qing You Pavilion Chamber of Commerce claimed that the price of repair exceeded the price of the treasure itself, so it was not worth buying similar treasures..
