Chapter 671 - 671. Ancient Robes
He used the all around appraisal skill and stood with his jaw dropped after reading it out loud.
\' Lava silk robes
Matk +18, Mdef +16, fire mana recovery
Robes made from lava spider silk. The rare ancient monster lava spiders are only known to live in and around volcanoes. Their silk constantly absorbs mana and converts it to fire elemental mana. The robes allow the wearer to absorb fore elemental mana passively from the air and use it in their skills. This robe was crafted by the unique lava smith system\'
"I didn\'t even know that there were spiders that lives in volcanoes." Su took the new piece of information. She was confused about how anything could live in such a dangerous environment. The only monster she knew that could, was a dragon. However, Walker had said that lava slimes exist once.
"I wouldn\'t think that a robe would look this style but maybe this is more like the robes that were worn all those years ago." Walker felt the robe and noticed that it was even warm to the touch. The fire elemental mana was so powerful that it was even heating the air around them slightly.
"I think it looks strange, but it is nice and warm. Even if it isn\'t useful for you it could be an ideal winter coat." Zenith thought that this was a silver lining in the least.
Walker noticed that the fire elemental spirit was completely fixated on the robes. "Hey, let me see the robes for a minute." He took them from Zenith and rolled them up making a small nest out of the lava silk robes. "Do you want to rest here for a bit? You still look like you want to absorb more fire elemental mana." Walker saw as the spirit vibrated in place for a moment. He could only think that it was excited beyond words.
The fire elemental spirit moved to the lava silk robes Walker had rolled in to a nest and sat itself in the middle. The fire it was made of harmonized with the robes and the pull of fire elemental mana became greater. Midnight eyed the spirit cautiously since she could feel the flames within her stir slightly. It was a strong pull that seemed to please the spirit more.
"There\'s also some gold in here. Ancient coins but they are just gold. We can pick it up later unless you want it?" Zenith wasn\'t too impressed since gold was a very common find in any ruins that the dwarves would uncover.
"It\'s no big deal for us. We have been fortunate to make a decent amount and even have some monster materials we need to sell so we are alright on gold. Actually, that reminds me we should stop by the adventurers guild branch here to do that." Walker had been way too caught up in things and realized he had yet to even inquire about the adventurers guild in the dwarf city.
"Really? You must have passed it a few times. It is right next to the high forge so that it is easy to find and the guild can work with those who use the forges. It just makes sense. It also means that the blacksmiths and crafters have first grabs at the newer materials that the guild brings." Zenith tapped her head to show the brilliance of the location for the high forge members.
"Leader, the third chest. It should have the staff." Su noticed Walker getting side tracked and brought him back to focus.
"Thanks. I was getting in to other things. Zenith, the honors are yours." Walker motioned for Zenith to jump back in to the stone chest opening that she was so excited for. When the last lid popped open the fire elemental mana pushed put again. However, this time Walker swore he could see a slight bit of smoke come with it.
"Wow...this thing is intense. It\'s like an eye." Zenith wasn\'t sure she should even touch the staff because of the heat it was giving off. The small wisps of smoke were another sign that she shouldn\'t touch it no matter what.
"This is amazing…" Walker was caught in awe at the sight of the staff. He was joined by Su, Midnight, and Onyx who were all trying to get a look at it clearly.
The staff was made from black stone. It seemed to be taken right from the deepest fires of the earth. They led up to intertwined and nearly like vines of a tree even though they were made out of stone. The small carvings all over it were fire runes. But surprisingly there were some earth runes as well which Walker believed lead to the strengthening of the staff so that it could survive the physical daggers of battle.
The large round object set in the top of the staff was an orange semi clear eye. The predator like slit of a pupil appeared to burn with flames. Walker had never seen a gem like it and started to believe that it couldn\'t be a gem at all and that it might be something else.
"I\'ve heard of this before. That is an eye. A cyclops eye. One of the only other monsters known to forge and eat their prey whole. They are extremely antisocial and hate any other living creatures. They chose to step down from being a recognized race and prefer to be monsters." Zenith spoke slowly and near silent. She was remembering distant tales that the dwarves told to children.
