My Fusion System: Fusing a Thousand Chickens at the Start

Chapter 402: A Growing Team

“Perhaps the weapon is not real platinum?” Charlotte turned the handle of the parasol, her eyes shining.

That was the only explanation that could explain why Casey would give away the platinum weapon in his hand. After all, there were less than ten platinum-tier weapons in the entire Holy Dragon Kingdom. It was very puzzling that a platinum-tier weapon would suddenly appear there. In addition, Charlotte had never heard of such a platinum weapon. The probability of forgery was very high.

“Who are you? Don’t talk nonsense. That sword is platinum-tier. I spent 10,000 gold coins to buy it. If you don’t understand it, then don’t talk nonsense. If you don’t believe me, I’ll use it to demonstrate its power. You’ll see whether it’s a platinum-tier weapon or not.”

Charlotte did not deliberately lower her voice, causing many people to hear her words, and Casey was one of them. He was very dissatisfied with Charlotte’s words. He was disgruntled because he had said he would give the sword to Watson. If Watson thought he was using a fake platinum longsword to deceive him, he shuddered to think what would happen.

In his anxiety, Casey took the longsword and walked out of the weapons store.

Standing on the street in front of the weapons store, Casey held the Water Dragon Sky Sword in his hand and released the power that came with the blade toward the sky. “Let it bloom, Double Water Tornadoes!”

The clear sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds. Lightning flashed, and thunder rumbled in the dark clouds. A heavy downpour came in an instant. The air was also filled with dense water vapor. When the vapor and the water droplets in the sky gathered, they turned into two water tornadoes that connected the sky and the earth. They circled Casey’s body, making him look like the God of Water.

Along with the water tornadoes, there was also a fierce wind. Many shops and stalls on both sides of the street were blown into disorder by the fierce wind. As for the street near Casey, the ground was damaged by the strong impact of the water pillar, and cracks spread in all directions. In just a few short seconds, large pits had appeared in the ground.

“Who is that? He’s displaying such a powerful move on the street? His battle technique must be at platinum-tier.”

A passerby covered his head with his hand to prevent the strong wind and rainstorm in the sky from sweeping his body as he exclaimed in surprise.

“I know that person. His name is Casey. He is the Ptolemy family’s Young Master who came to the capital from the floating city. Rumor has it that his strength is quite weak. He even passed the Royal Academy’s assessment by relying on his connections. Someone in my family is an assessment teacher at the Royal Academy, so I’ve heard about that. However, it seems that his strength is quite strong. Perhaps the rumor is false?” someone else said.

“That’s not right. That Casey did not release that combat technique. There is not the slightest bit of combat aura fluctuation in his body. Instead, the longsword in his hand exudes a powerful energy. Was it the sword?”

“If that’s the case, then that sword must be very powerful. What level of weapon could release such a powerful battle technique?”

After all, it was the capital. There was no lack of silver and even gold-tier elites on the streets. After careful identification, they knew that Casey had used that move entirely with the long sword in his hand.

After the chaos due to the sudden appearance of a platinum-tier battle technique, Casey put down the sword in satisfaction and withdrew the two water tornadoes. He wiped his non-existent sweat and turned around to return to the blacksmith’s shop. He revealed a proud smile.

“Did you see that? Do you still think that this is now a platinum-tier weapon?”

Everyone was somewhat dumbfounded. On the one hand, they did not expect Casey to dare release such a powerful force into the streets. On the other hand, they also did not expect that that sword was a platinum-tier weapon.

“It really is a platinum-tier weapon. It has been decades since a new platinum-tier weapon appeared in the kingdom. I wonder which master blacksmith forged that weapon. Its power does not seem to be inferior to some of the old platinum-tier items in the kingdom.”

Charlotte spun her parasol as she muttered to herself. Her eyes were burning with passion. If she had entered that shop, she would not have thought much of it. However, she felt that the weapons hanging on the walls were slightly better than those in other shops, but her impression of that place had changed entirely. A platinum-tier weapon meant that the craftsmanship of that shop had to be outstanding. No, it was more than that.

Other than the Campbell family, there were only a few master craftsmen in the capital. They often took years or even decades to forge a platinum-tier item. Once a platinum-tier item was forged, they would turn around and forge a gold-tier item. In terms of ability and grade, they far surpassed those craftsmen who had never forged a platinum-tier item. That was also why the Campbell family and those master craftsmen were highly respected in the kingdom.

Just as she was thinking about that, a few elites walked into the shop. They were the ones who knew that a weapon aided Casey’s display of strength.

Those people immediately looked at the shop owner and said, “Boss, is there any other similar weapon to the one in that young master’s hand? I want one. I’m willing to pay 10,000 gold coins.”

“You want to buy a weapon of that level for 10,000 gold coins? Aren’t you a little naive? I’ll pay 30,000 gold coins. If it is needed, I can increase it again!”

The elites chased after the shop owner and asked with eager eyes. Facing their words, the shop owner only smiled. “I’m sorry, everyone. We only have one of those in our shop for the time being. After all, that is a platinum-tier weapon. If you want it, you’d have to wait for a while. Our forger might be able to forge a second platinum weapon! Before that, you might as well take a look at the other weapons in my shop. Even though they are only some peak gold-tier items, the effects won’t disappoint you.”

The boss said there was no second Water Dragon Sky Sword, so those elites looked disappointed. However, when they saw the longswords hanging on the surrounding walls, their expressions changed from disappointment to shock and then to eagerness.

“Boss, how much are those weapons hanging on your wall?”

“One thousand gold coins per sword. No bargaining. ”

“Give me one.”

One of the experts directly took out a thousand gold coins and bought a golden longsword of good quality from the wall. After buying it, he pulled out the longsword that was hanging around his waist. Then, he used the golden longsword that he had just purchased and slashed at the original sword.

The thin sword he had been using broke with a muffled sound, and there was not even a scratch on the gold-tier longsword. That scene made the expert who had bought the golden longsword reveal an expression of joy, “As I thought, that sword could be so hard. It must have been filled with ores similar to obsidian gold. My original weapon was also gold-tier, but it was as fragile as paper compared to that sword! Besides obsidian gold, that sword must have been mixed with arcane gold. I feel that just holding that sword has increased the speed of my warrior power circulation. Not only can that sword transmit warrior power, but it can also transmit magic. It is also suitable for mages. I dare say that if I use that sword to cast the same magic, its power will be doubled!”

“That’s right, sir. It seems that you know what you’re talking about.”

The shop owner nodded his head in approval. At that moment, another person who came in with that elite could not help but take out a purse containing 2,000 gold coins and slam it on the table. “Boss, give me two of those blades.”

“I heard that the weapons in that shop are excellent. They actually sell platinum-tier items. Even gold-tier weapons are above the same level.”

“Are you serious? I want to go in and have a good look.”

The two elites left with three gold-tier longswords in their hands, satisfied. Not long after, more than ten people walked in and bought dozens of gold-tier longswords from the shop. In just a short time, the number of longswords hanging on the shop’s walls had been reduced by half.

“It seems that the business of that shop is better than I expected. Miss Charlotte, Miss Lily, are you still buying or not? If you don’t want to buy, I think the weapons here will be sold out,” Watson said.

Charlotte snapped back to her senses. When she saw that fewer than half of the weapons were left on the walls, she became a little anxious. “The quality of the weapons here is so good, of course, I want to buy them, but I haven’t chosen them carefully.”

Lily, who looked more anxious than she was, pointed at the weapons on the walls and said, “I want that, that and that! Forget it, Boss; give me three sets of longswords, shields, and armor each. ”

After pointing at the things she wanted, Lily turned to look at her good friend, “Charlotte, I just checked carefully and found that the weapons here are almost the same. They should be made according to a template. The quality won’t change much! Buy those high-quality weapons first. As for the styles, we can pick them when we get home.”

“Lily, you have a point. Boss, give me five sets of each weapon in your shop.”

“Okay, ladies, the total number of weapons and armor you need is 80 items. The total value is 80,000 gold coins. Please fill in the address of your house. Later, our blacksmith shop will send someone to deliver them to your house.”

The shopkeeper’s lips curled up into a wide smile. There were only about 100 weapons on display in his shop. At that moment, Lily and Cassie had already taken over more than half of them. Together with the platinum-tier items that they had sold to the others and Cassie previously.., the shop’s income would be 100,000 gold coins in a short while. Anyone would be excited.

“We did not bring that much money when we went out. That is a check from the Holy Dragon Bank in the royal city. We can withdraw a maximum of 100,000 gold coins. We will use 80,000 gold coins to pay for it, and we will save the remaining 20,000. If there are platinum-tier weapons next time, you have to inform us first. Oh, right! Our addresses are the Campbell and the Roland family, respectively. ”

Lily took out a check from her pocket and handed it to the shop owner.

After checking the words on the check carefully, the shop owner showed a satisfied look. “Please rest assured, ladies. We will inform you as soon as we have good products for our wealthy and generous customers.”

While Charlotte and Lily discussed the purchase of weapons with the shop owner, Casey approached Watson carefully and handed the Water Dragon Sky Sword to Watson with both hands. “Watson, I’ve shown you the sword. Take it.”

“Young Master Casey, are you trying to please me? With our relationship, you don’t have to be so polite to me.” Seeing Casey’s cautious expression, Watson suppressed the urge to laugh.

“Watson, I’m not trying to please you. I’m trying to treat you as a friend,” Casey explained awkwardly. “And I’m not giving you that weapon for free. I have a request.”

“So, you have a purpose. I knew you would not be so kind. What are you up to this time?” Before Watson could speak, Nightingale glared at Casey as she scolded him.

Casey shrank back in fear and covered his face with the platinum-tier item in his hand. He looked like he was afraid of getting beaten up. “Miss Nightingale, I don’t have any wicked ideas. I just want Watson to take me as his underling so that I can follow him. Is that not too much to ask? ”

“You want me to make you my underling?”

Watson had a strange look on his face as if he did not expect Casey to say such a thing. Previously, he had made Casey so miserable, and then he had used the man’s reputation to make him take the blame. Under such circumstances, it was already good enough that Casey did not hate him. Why would Casey want to become his subordinate? Did he want to get close to him and then wait for an opportunity to take revenge?

“Yes, Watson, I sincerely want to become your subordinate.”

Casey nodded. If one were to ask him how he felt about Watson, it would definitely be hatred. If there were a chance, he would have wanted to strangle Watson to death, but he knew that he could not do it. Initially, when he reached the royal city, he had been with Augustus because he wanted the man to take care of him. He hoped that he would no longer experience what he had in the floating city. However, he did not expect Augustus to be Watson’s match.

He feared Watson. The best way to overcome his fear was not to defeat it but to accept it. If he could not beat him, he might as well join him.

“Casey, I don’t know what you are thinking. Besides, you’ve done so many wicked things. What right do you have to be Young Master Watson’s subordinate?” Nightingale looked disgusted. If it were not for fear of antagonizing the Ptolemy family, she would have already killed Casey. Plus, she would go crazy if she had to see Casey wandering in front of her every day.

“Miss Nightingale, I’ve already regretted what I’ve done. I know that I’ve made many mistakes in the past, but now I want to correct myself. Will you forgive me? What can I do to get you to forgive me? Do you want me to kneel and apologize to you before you’re willing to let me go? If that’s the case, I’ll kneel now.”

As Casey spoke, he was about to kneel with the platinum-tier longsword in his hands. At that moment, Watson waved his hand, and a gentle breeze blew past, dragging Casey’s knees. “Young Master Casey, there’s no need for that. And I don’t want to deprive a person of the right to reform. However, I can’t take you as my subordinate for now. Perhaps I’ll observe you first. I’ll give you some missions from time to time. If you can accomplish them well, I might consider letting you become my subordinate.”

“Really? Watson, thank you! You’re such a good person.”

Casey shed tears of excitement, a look of relief on his face. Ever since he knew that Watson was at the royal city and the Royal Academy just like him, he had been afraid that he would have nightmares every night. Watson’s words meant that he no longer cared about what happened in the floating city. At least Casey could get some good night’s sleep.

Lana looked helpless when she saw Casey’s useless appearance. “Brother Casey, we’re outside now. Is it really okay for you to cry in front of so many people?”

“I’m sorry, everyone. I’ve lost my composure. I’ve made a fool of myself.” Casey reacted and hurriedly wiped the tears off his face.

Charlotte’s gaze was strange as she looked back and forth between Casey and Watson. “Watson, I had wanted to ask you just now. What is the relationship between you and that young master from the Ptolemy family? Why did he give you a platinum-tier item when he saw you? Why did he say something about following you?”

“As I’ve said just now, I am very familiar with Young Master Casey. “We are—”

“We are friends who have lived through life and death. Watson once saved my life, so I respect him very much. Watson’s enemy is my enemy. Watson’s orders are missions that I must complete!” Without waiting for Watson to finish speaking, Casey beat his chest and responded firmly.

Watson glanced at him and did not refute him. He did not kill Casey previously, so it was equivalent to letting go of him. Therefore, it was not nonsense for Casey to say that he had saved him.

Lily said, “Forget it. No matter your relationship, now that the weapons are bought, where are we going next? Watson, the things we bought today should be enough for me to use in the Royal Academy for the next few years. Shall I treat you to a meal later?”

“That’s a good suggestion. We were fated to meet today. Why don’t we eat together? I know a few good restaurants in the royal city. Miss Lily won’t mind us tagging along, right?” Lana blinked her long white eyelashes. She looked eager.

“You’re my brother’s good friends. Of course, I’ll bring you guys for dinner. Let’s go together.” Lily waved her hand generously.

They quickly decided to go to the Holy Dragon Tavern. Everyone had different expressions of joy on their faces. Only one person did not look happy, and that was Nightingale.

“It’s not easy to be alone with Watson for one day. Why does it feel like the group has grown so much?”

Nightingale clutched the corner of her clothes and bit her lip. She wanted to be alone with Watson, but she did not know how to refuse under such circumstances. Furthermore, she was worried that the group would continue to grow.
