Find a Troubled Girl after leaving the Guild-Chapter 388 - 218: Divine Demon-Born Flower
"What, what?" Zoe perked up.
Even Dorothy adjusted her rainbow-colored long hair: "Are we finally leaving? Great, I’m sick of it. Can we swim on the next island? Or is it for the pool on the ship?"
"We’re going to Dreamspine Island," Li Ang emphasized. "While it’s where the Sky Knights see it as the production place for the Shipbuilding Treasure Tree, it’s also a famous waterfront resort."
"Oh, so you think our modified school uniforms aren’t enough and you want to see us in swimsuits?" Dorothy struck a pose she considered charming.
Li Ang spread his hands: "I call it being prepared. My intent was to leave after chopping trees and finding the Star Soul, but when staying at a lakeside hotel, wouldn’t you want to have fun?"
"Nah, we’ll all follow the captain’s orders," Zoe said.
"Exactly, exactly."
Andasu and ALulu both wore serious expressions, as if they weren’t problematic young girls at all.
"Then it’s set, we’ll depart tomorrow."
Li Ang decided not to bicker with them.
"Well, we should still buy it, we can wear it on our own ship," Dorothy said.
"You see, the City of the Ship’s Rudder only excels in shipbuilding. Besides the City of Trade and Thousand Tower City, Nebis probably has the most abundant goods from the Holy City. There are plenty of styles here to choose from," she reasoned convincingly.
"Suit yourselves."
Li Ang placed the Magic Staff and new equipment aside, then collapsed onto the bed: "I’m exhausted today, I’m going to sleep, you all hurry back to the hotel."
However, none of the four moved an inch.
Zoe crawled down from the bed and uncovered the cloth wrapped around the Magic Staff, exclaiming, "Wow!"
"What is this?"
Her Ruby Eyes were immediately filled with the multicolored glow emitted by the Orichalcum.
Dorothy frowned, not out of direct displeasure, but in controlling the slightly uncontrollable Demon-Born Flower Vine piercing her skin.
"There’s Divine Power, and some other magic. Is this a new weapon of brother’s?" Xiaoniu asked.
The little cat lifted the Magic Staff, and Li Ang instinctively raised his hand to try and stop her.
He realized he felt a slight sense of a toy being taken away, but he smiled inwardly, acknowledging that letting them see it wasn’t really an issue, yet he couldn’t help but find it rather precious.
"Remember the conversation at the Treasury about this? It was crafted by the Dome Furnace Association."
Li Ang briefly recounted today’s events.
Zoe immediately exclaimed, "Ah, I knew it, I knew Li Ang must be doing something fun. Don’t ever think of leaving me behind again, I must come along!" 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺
Andasu said, "Our strength is lacking; we probably can’t match that guardian."
"I don’t care; aren’t craftsmen weak, too? Besides, I will become stronger."
Zoe was a bit upset, shaking the Multi-colored Magic Staff, her own power activating the staff, instantly creating a swirling chaos of Four Elements in the air.
Afraid she’d set the place on fire, Li Ang immediately said, "Just tone it down."
Zoe calmed her magic, and the Elemental Energy disappeared. She handed the Magic Staff back to Li Ang, who had been pretending to reach for it for ages: "This staff is incredible. I didn’t even have to think, and the elements followed my command."
"Of course. I’ve never seen him so nervous about any equipment before," Dorothy said.
Li Ang breathed a sigh of relief. Although they had to vacate soon, it wasn’t like they couldn’t afford it, but he really didn’t want to waste time on damage valuation or listen to the landlord’s nagging.
The brown-haired young girl stuck out her tongue, too cute to stay mad at for long.
"What about the other bag?"
She was like an excited little cat, her attention immediately turning to the bag holding the equipment.
"The equipment owed from previous incidents, since they were all crafted by the Dome Furnace Association, they’ve all been made for me."
Zoe dumped out the equipment. Before Li Ang could scold her, they were already admiring the pieces, leaving him speechless.
"Are these pieces of equipment connected to the staff?" Zoe, possessing the Light of the Star Soul and the extraordinary talents influenced by the Star Spirit, had a strong sense for magic and immediately discovered the features of this six-piece set.
"Such strong power," Andasu focused on the power levels themselves: "Pairing with the Magic Staff, the owner finally has matching gear."
"Doesn’t it get hot wearing this?" ALulu admired the richly ornate, multilayered robe.
"Is this crafted by the world’s top artisans? The taste is a bit outdated," Dorothy shook her head.
"What do you think could be improved? The appearance can be altered."
Li Ang began trying on the components. This was also his first time testing this set of equipment.
"Alter? Are you saying this outfit can transform?" Dorothy was surprised.
"Yes, when we fought the Blood Eagle, didn’t you see similar equipment?"
"I thought that was an exception," the Half Elf pouted.
With a smiling ALulu lending a hand, Li Ang donned the robe: "Don’t underestimate the top artisans of our time; this feature that others expend effort to achieve is almost effortlessly handled at the Excellence Realm. Most artisans skip it to save designing trouble. But for him, it might be as easy as breathing; not adding it would almost seem irresponsible.
"I was lucky to have the opportunity for him to craft this set for me."
"Then you definitely got your money’s worth."
Once dressed in the multi-colored set, when Li Ang grasped the Orichalcum, the six types of magic were guided by the Magic Staff’s Multi-Colored Energy Spirit Core, surging over his body and linking into a circulating flow; the overwhelming magic changed the very atmosphere.
The Ethereal Headband emitted light, starting to phase out, the Arcane Cape lifted a blue-purple magic rune orb, the Natural Power Pants filled his legs with strength, the Divine Power Robe illuminated his body, while the Light Element Boots made him appear to tread on light, ready to soar, and the Dark Element Gloves gave him mastery of darkness.
