Though the branches of the elves' Great Sacred Tree were impressive, compared to the Imaginary Tree, the difference between them was like heaven and earth. Not to mention that Shen Fei had engraved a Rune Script formation onto it, accelerating the flow of magic power and amplifying the strength of magic.
Ais's Sword of Despair had cost over a hundred million, while Riveria's current Magic Wand had cost over two hundred million. So asking five hundred million—just a little more than double—wasn't excessive. To put it bluntly, that was a branch of the Imaginary Tree. Even selling it for a billion wouldn't have been unreasonable.
This showed just how absurdly cheap the divine weapon Hephaestus had personally forged for Bell in the original work had been. She had charged Hestia only two hundred million for it. After all, it had been a genuine Divine Artifact, not a first-class weapon.
Both Hephaestus and Goberniu had forged equipment before, but only first-class weapons. Ais's Sword of Despair and Finn's Dominion Lance had both been forged by Goberniu. Strictly speaking, Goberniu was even Finn's teacher. Yet even so, he had never forged a Divine Artifact for Finn. Hephaestus truly spoiled Hestia far too much.
"Riveria, what do you think? Want it? It's on special today." Shen Fei took the Magic Wand from its rack and handed it to Riveria, letting her inspect it for herself.
"I'll take it." After accepting the Magic Wand from Shen Fei and carefully examining it, Riveria immediately nodded. She paid on the spot. Naturally, transactions of this scale could not be handled in cash. The DanMachi world had banks as well, managed by the Guild.
