After Old Dad John finished the story, he watched Shade use a card to absorb the broken blade.
By this point, Shade had obtained a "Butterfly Card" in Tobesk, Coldwater Port, Middlesburg, Huntington, Randall River Valley, and the Green Lake Region. One in each region seemed somewhat coincidental, but it did not matter for now. The world was vast, and the six cards he currently possessed were already enough for the young ladies at the Sixth Ring.
After the relatively cheap antique transaction was complete, it was time for the "luck" item Shade wanted. In fact, the "Golden Apple" Shade had given Iluna last month could increase luck, and did so for a long time without side effects. But naturally, Shade would not take back a gift he had given away. Besides, Iluna's eighteenth birthday present had to be something more formal.
So far, Shade had encountered quite a few items that could increase luck through Old Dad John, such as the "Golden Rabbit Leg" from Old John's friend and "Oak's Lucky Potion" from the Hermits of the Forest. But what he brought out this time was even more astonishing: an iron rod.
"I really can't imagine what this has to do with luck. A relic?"
"Yes, a relic."
Old John nodded.
"Keeper of Secrets Level relic, Sudden Fate.
"If this thing strikes someone hard on the head, it can temporarily increase their luck. Of course, you need to make sure your skull is sturdy enough before using it. Ordinary people definitely could not endure it. The first time this relic takes effect, it is guaranteed to bring luck. But the more often it is used on the same individual, the greater the chance that misfortune will cling to them. Therefore, I do not recommend using it a second time.
