Chapter 48: Buy a Flying Ark
"You? How is that possible?" The city lord and his wife who was still sitting on the bed were both surprised to see the spear shattered when it met Aldric’s fist.
After all, it was actually a Tier 3 weapon. The materials of a weapon in that tier should not be able to be destroyed by a 1st Stage Senior Magician.
Aldric smiled at this result.
When he landed, he lunged straight at the city lord.
He was so fast, even the city lord could barely see him. Other people really couldn’t see him anymore.
On top of that, his movements were extremely flexible. With that speed, he could turn slightly and then flip his body backwards as he arrived behind the city lord.
"I have a grudge against you, but it’s not a grudge to the death. The important thing is, I just want to show my strength so that you won’t dare to fight me anymore," Aldric said from behind him before punching him in the back.
Bruak!
His spine instantly shattered, he vomited blood with his eyes and mouth wide open.
Although he was bigger than him in terms of body size, he seemed to be just a small cat compared to him in terms of physical strength.
His body was thrown, slamming into the wall of his residence causing it to collapse.
His aura became chaotic, like his body could explode at any moment.
Currently, not only his mouth was bleeding. His ears, eyes, and nose were also bleeding.
He was breathing so fast that his chest was moving up and down.
As the lord of the city, it could be said that he was the most powerful in this city, but one blow, he instantly reached a state of half-death.
The audience became excited at this scene while the city lord’s wife became frightened as she sat on her bed.
Aldric thought the fight was over, so he stopped doing anything.
His eyes looked at the Demon Horse and the Dead Fish, and said, "search his body and house. Take everything of value!"
He deliberately gave them this order, not because he really wanted the city lord’s treasure.
He just wanted to show that the two of them were his subordinates.
He even recorded all of this secretly with the help of his other clones.
Having just seen his power, they seemed to be even more afraid of him.
Hearing his orders, they immediately moved.
The Demon Horse searched the city lord’s body while the Dead Fish jumped into the room, scaring the city lord’s wife so much that she ran away.
The Dead Fish didn’t target her. He was just looking for treasures in the room.
When the players saw all this, they thought that these two robbers were now forced into subordination by the man who had defeated them.
The players were still familiar with Aldric. They recognized him despite not seeing his face clearly and knew that he was the man who had defeated the two robbers.
Not long after, the two returned with a Storage Artifact each.
"Boss, this is all we got from the city lord," they said.
Aldric took the two Storage Artifacts, checking inside them only to be disappointed.
This city lord didn’t have as many treasures as Ramsey and the prince.
In fact, he only had two Level 11 Monster Cores.
The rest of his treasures were worthless with his current strength.
After that, he approached the city lord who was trying to stand up but it seemed that his legs were no longer strong enough to support his body.
Seeing him coming, his eyes trembled.
"Ho-how did you get so strong?" he said in a trembling tone.
In his opinion, Aldric’s strength had increased too much. This was beyond his estimation where his single blow could completely render his helpless.
"You don’t need to think about that," Aldric replied with a faint smile.
"So, do you still want to take the artifact from me?" he asked.
His tone sounded joking but to the ears of the city lord, this was the ultimate insult.
He gritted his teeth until they almost cracked.
"You won, do whatever you want," he said with an indifferent expression and tone.
"I told you, this is not a life and death grudge. I just wanted to beat you," Aldric replied.
"Hmph, Knights can be killed, but not insulted. If you kill me, you can take over this city, getting all the benefits from taxes," the city lord said.
He sounded like he wanted to be killed by him. Probably because he couldn’t bear this humiliation.
His house was attacked while he was sleeping with his wife but he was powerless to fight back, even losing in one blow. This was indeed a humiliation that was too much for anyone.
If he didn’t die, he would hear people talking about this every day.
"If you really want to die, you should find someone else to help you. And I don’t need this town. Here I just wanted to talk for a while, and now it’s over," Aldric replied.
After that, he finally turned around while signaling the Dead Fish and the Demon Horse to follow him.
"Boss, where are we going next?" The Demon Horse asked from behind him.
He couldn’t resist asking because following him constantly made him uncomfortable.
"I’m moving to Heaven Valley City. You will also go there with me," Aldric replied.
’Does he not want to part with us?’ The two people wondered after hearing his answer.
They naturally became very hesitant as they were about to be taken to Heaven Valley City.
This was a gathering place for tigers and dragons.
Ever since deciding to become robbers, they had not dared to come to that city.
The journey to Heaven Valley City is quite far. Riding a horse-drawn carriage will take a long time in addition to meeting various dangers. If you want to get there quickly, then you have to take the flying ark.
This is the most expensive means of transportation in this game world, but the level of comfort and speed is no different from planes on earth.
Apart from the fact that the price of the flying ark is very expensive, it also requires a lot of energy to fly. That’s what adds to the cost of this means of transportation.
The harbor was on the outskirts of the city, in the form of a large open field where large arks with wings were arranged on the field.
It was quite lively, filled with elites who looked educated or powerful.
"By the way, what is the average price of a flying ark?" Aldric asked the two men.
He thought he was quite wealthy now with over a thousand Level 10 Monster Cores.
There should be no problem if he wanted to buy a flying ark.
Plus, he had his own place to store it, so he didn’t have to bother thinking about where he would put it.
In this harbor, he saw a few arks that had ’for sale’ written on the hull.
They just didn’t include the price.
"Boss, the cheapest one is around two hundred Level 10 Monster Cores, but arks at that price often have problems. If you want a really good one, you’ll have to buy an ark for more than 600 Level 10 Monster Cores," replied the Dead Fish.
"I See!" Aldric took out one ring after hearing the Dead Fish’s explanation.
"I’ll take a look, wait here," he said.
He prepared about 900 Level 10 Monster Cores.
With so many Monster Cores, he naturally wanted a very good ark so that he could travel easily later.
However, when he went to leave them, he didn’t really leave them.
His real body came out of that Space Artifact, waiting with them.
This was to make sure they didn’t run away.
