Sealed Artifact Trading
Chapter 100 Sealed Artifact Trading
To be fair, Utravsky put in more effort than Daly in the fight just now, but Daly's share of the spoils far exceeded 3750 pounds.
Besides the fact that the results far exceeded Hobart's expectations, it was also because Daly was an official Beyonder.
Dividing the spoils with Daly was tantamount to bribing the official Extraordinary. Without the Night Watchers' approval, Utravsky, an Extraordinary who was operating illegally in the Kingdom of Rune, could never have fought so "openly" outside the Harvest Church.
It's impossible for all the residents on the street to be asleep; there wasn't even a single person who got up at night.
Most importantly, Hobert's gains were legitimized by sharing the spoils with the official Extraordinary Ones.
In the final round of selection, the crystal ball was slightly more valuable than cash, but Hobart had no use for the crystal ball and would have to risk finding a place to sell it, so he might as well choose cash.
Suddenly, a scene flashed into Hobart's mind: the Tamara family's "astrologers" used divination to find the crystal ball, and ended up at the Backlund headquarters of the Night Watchers.
Hobert's lips curled into a smile; the thought of that scene was hilarious.
Then Hobert examined the sealed artifact, the black glove, and suddenly his spiritual senses perceived the artifact's power and negative effects.
It turns out that this sealed artifact was not, as Hobart had guessed, a "corpse collector" or an item related to "demons." It actually came from an out-of-control "law mage."
Because it was a sealed artifact of the "Arbitrator" pathway, Hobert's special connection with the "Land of Chaos" allowed his spirituality to establish an initial connection with the sealed artifact.
The gloves' ability is: "They can mimic the appearance of a 'Law Master' to intimidate enemies, and use the 'Law Master's' gaze to sentence any creature within their line of sight to death! Those with weak spirituality will spontaneously obey this judgment, their bodies will lose vitality, their spirits will dissipate, and they will die a true death."
The spirituality of a "low-sequence" Beyonder causes irreparable damage; the spirituality of a "mid-sequence" Beyonder causes trauma that takes several days to heal. After using this ability, the target will be frozen in place for 1 to 3 seconds.
The negative effect is: "For ten minutes after using this ability, the user will be like a lifeless zombie, losing all vitality and spirituality. After ten minutes, spirituality begins to recover, but it takes ten hours to fully recover."
After five uses, the user will be susceptible to a fatal fate; after ten uses, death will be irreversible. If it remains within two meters of a creature for five hours, that creature will die instantly.
Hobert's heart tightened. His first battle after advancing to Sequence 8 had already caused his spirituality to suffer a severe blow that could not be fully recovered!
However, he then thought that he could also use extraordinary potions or ritual magic to heal spiritual wounds. It might take some time to research, but it shouldn't be a big problem.
Hobert then frowned. This sealed artifact was indeed very powerful, and it was also a sealed artifact with an "area attack" effect.
But no matter how powerful it is, it can only be used four times!
This is perfect for use by extraordinary organizations. Klein used it four times, Dunn used it four times, that makes eight times.
Moreover, it is most suitable for use by official extraordinary individuals, just like the Tamara family members we encountered tonight. They didn't dare to use this sealing artifact right away because they didn't know how strong their opponent was. If they lost an important combatant right away, they might become even more passive.
They dared not let either of those two Sequence 8s control such an important sealed artifact, as they could easily be killed in battle before they even had time to put on their gloves.
Anyway, when Hobart was stabbing someone, he suddenly noticed that the other person wasn't running away and was still wearing gloves. So he would definitely focus on attacking the enemy's hands next. Without hands, what's the point of him wearing gloves?
Official extraordinary beings are different. For example, in the Kingdom of Rune, it is the home ground of Night Watchers, Punishers, and Mechanical Hearts. They can use the glove's ability right away, and then the other team members can reap the lives of the enemies.
Hobert is currently fighting alone, and he doesn't need this sealed artifact at all right now.
Seeing Daly diligently storing away her extraordinary properties, Hobert suddenly had an idea: "Madam, I think this sealed artifact should meet the level 2 standard, right?"
He waved the gloves in his hand.
Dai Li nodded: "That's right, it has indeed reached the level 2 standard."
Hobart stated bluntly, "I want to trade it for the other half of 2-355, as well as an official unofficial staff pass, one 'Briber' extraordinary trait, and two 'Barbarian' extraordinary traits."
Daly was slightly taken aback. The deal initiated by Hobert was advantageous to the Night Watch team.
Half the value of a Level 2 Seal item is certainly higher than the extraordinary properties of one Seal 7 and two Seal 8 items, while the credentials of an unofficial are just a piece of paper.
However, because it involves Level 2 sealed artifacts, she couldn't make the decision: "Come to the security company tomorrow morning with gloves on. Our captain will give you an answer as to whether a deal can be reached."
"Okay." Hobert felt that there was a good chance the deal could be made.
For him, while the power of 2-355 is not as great as the Black Gloves, 2-355 is a practical and useful item. When combined with "Wood of Order", it achieves a synergistic effect greater than the sum of its parts.
After collecting the spoils, Daly pointed to the corpses and said, "I'll help you deal with these bodies."
"No," Hobart refused. "These are Upton's spoils; we'll handle them."
"Alright then." Daly didn't ask what the bodies were for. She took 2-355 and said goodbye to Hobart and Upton.
With Daly gone, only Hobert, Upton, and five corpses remained in the house.
Hobart said, "I need a room where I won't be disturbed."
……
From the distant bell tower of Harvest Church, a member of the Night Watch team, holding a large, thick telescope, said, "Captain, Daly has come out and given us a 'nothing has happened' gesture."
Thomas stood with his arms crossed at the window of the clock tower, letting the cool early autumn breeze flutter his robes.
He was still reviewing the battle. It had to be said that the extraordinary battle was both intense and exciting. Utravsky and Daly's performances were beyond question, after all, they were both extraordinary individuals with rich combat experience.
Thomas was greatly surprised by Hobert's performance. When Daly reported on Hobert's performance in the Henry family's case, he thought that Hobert was just lucky and happened to have come into contact with the sealed artifact related to 2-355.
But today's battle showed Thomas Hobert's calm and collected side, especially the large tree he summoned, which was visually striking, and the telescopes they brought couldn't even see what was under the canopy.
Keep in mind, the telescope is a Level 3 Sealed Artifact!
There's another chapter coming around 2 PM. The author is going to eat now.
