Saine and Thor communicated through private voice transmission, so no one around them heard.
At Saine's mention of "Golden Apples," Thor's brows furrowed deeply. He shook his head and said, "I ate quite a few of them when I was little, but Mother sealed off the Golden Apple Orchard twenty thousand years ago."
"Even I can't get them whenever I want. They seem to have been stockpiled as 'Strategic Material.'"
"What a shame. If it had been twenty thousand years ago, I might have been able to get some for you." Thor shrugged at Saine.
"Is that so? What a pity!" Saine sighed.
Golden Apples were a Titan World product Saine had learned about while studying in Sky City.
Throughout the Wizard Alliance, Golden Apple Trees counted as supreme divine objects, while Golden Apples themselves were credited with all manner of unbelievable effects.
The few portions of Amethyst Crystal Insect Royal Jelly Saine had obtained some time ago by breeding Sand Worm Queens were already fairly valuable treasures.
But compared to the value of Golden Apples, those portions of Amethyst Crystal Insect Royal Jelly fell far short.
The two were not treasures of the same level at all.
At certain times, not even a low-grade World-Class Secret Treasure could be exchanged for a single Golden Apple.
A World-Class Secret Treasure could be traded for many things, but not for life.
Life was priceless.
On a battlefield fraught with danger at every turn, a Golden Apple represented a second life.
According to Sky City's historical records, Golden Apples from Titan World could instantly restore even Level-6 Peak creatures.
There were also many so-called God Trees within the Wizard Alliance, as well as supreme spiritual materials comparable to World-Class Secret Treasures, but none could achieve effects comparable to those of Titan World.
