Black Cloud City Lord's Residence
Of course it's useful; at least there's hope. But the other materials are really hard to come by.
Especially the difficulty of obtaining Epic Material, such as Elemental Crystal, is something that others may not know, but Old Wang certainly does.
Epic- grade Elemental Crystal are extremely rare, but Old Wang actually managed to get one recently.
But we're still missing 6, and the Legendary ones are even worse off, probably about half.
He was fine with the other Epic Material; he was only missing two or three to complete his set.
There's also a significant shortage of Normal materials. Old Wang has never collected Normal materials before, so this is where the shortage is quite severe.
However, these are all easy to collect; you can buy them if you have money.
"Hey you... yes, I'm talking to you. Send me a message: I need to collect these materials, especially Elemental Crystal, the more the better!"
Old Wang gave the order to his Cyclops subordinate, Cyclops immediately went to report.
Because the priest and another elder are consolidating their positions, the current leaders of the Cyclops are Da Mao and Single Horn, two second-generation elites of their race.
These two were the ones the Cyclops had high hopes for; the reason he didn't give them Legend Heart Core was to allow them to break through to the Legendary on their own.
It must be said that their considerations were indeed far-sighted, and their ambitions were certainly considerable.
After receiving the orders from Old Wang, Da Mao and Single Horn immediately went to carry them out.
They didn't immediately start buying; instead, they first got a general understanding of the market prices for Normal materials before beginning to collect them.
Because Black Cloud City is adjacent to the Endless Mountains, it is rich in various minerals. Old Wang quickly collected Normal materials he needed, and even collected a lot of Legendary Elemental Crystal.
This is why Black Cloud City is so special; any other slightly stronger city would be unlikely to sell Legendary Element crystals.
But Black Cloud City is different. They have too few Legendary in their city. The repeated harvesting over the centuries has caused the Legendary Black Cloud City to either die or flee.
Although Legendary Elemental Crystal have many uses, without a sufficient number of Legendary units, the demand for Legendary is not actually that high.
At the same time, the Endless Mountains also produce this stuff, and in considerable quantities, so they have accumulated quite a lot of it.
After learning about this, Old Wang immediately told the two to open their collection of Legendary, as this thing would be of great use to him.
Old Wang's acquisition of Legendary Element crystals quickly alarmed the Black Cloud City Lord, but he only paid attention to it briefly and then ignored it.
Isn't it normal for Elemental Creature to Elemental Crystal? What's so surprising about that?
It also roughly guessed why he collected these things; he must have been doing it to survive.
It also told its subordinates, "I heard he also collects Epic- level crystals. Go and find out what's going on."
"Yes!"
The higher the level of Elemental Crystal, the wider their applications, which is why they are so precious. Under normal circumstances, they are about twice the value of Normal Epic Material.
The Black Cloud City Lord knew that Old Wang had just made a fortune and clearly didn't want to sell to him at a normal price.
Taking advantage of someone's misfortune has become a highly professional skill over the years.
"Epic- grade Elemental Crystal? Six of them? The Endless Mountains even have treasures like this?" Old Wang was somewhat surprised after hearing the words of the person from the City Lord's Manor. Wasn't this like a godsend?
"Exactly! You may not know, but the Demon God who fell in the Endless Mountains was killed by the Demon God Lord of the Elemental Race. The Elemental Crystal is the remnant of that attack's power," the newcomer said.
"Is that so? What price range are you planning to offer?" Old Wang asked immediately.
"Sir, you should know how precious Epic Elemental Crystal. We only need four Epic Material for one, or Energy Stone of the same value will also do!" the man said.
His words made Old Wang frown. He had expected the other party to raise the price, but he hadn't anticipated that they would double it.
"Isn't this price unreasonable?" Old Wang asked, squinting, but unfortunately, the other person couldn't see his expression because of the Mecha's partition.
"It is a bit expensive, but have you thought it through? This is your chance to live. If you lose your life, you lose everything!" the man said.
His nonsensical words confused Old Wang. What did he mean by a chance to live? What were you guys imagining?
"How do you know this is my chance to live? What do you know?" Old Wang asked mysteriously.
"Isn't your goal to gain the protection of the Fifth Demon God, the Elemental Demon God, by offering these Elemental Crystal? There's nothing wrong with that, nothing shameful about it!"
The visitor revealed their preconceived notions, and Old Wang finally learned "his own plan."
He went along with it, saying, "Since you all know, why do you still dare to make Lion demand? Aren't you afraid I'll fight you to the death?"
"The City Lord is Legendary seventh-tier expert. If you're going to do something rash, you'll only die, not the net!" the man said.
Then, looking at the "expressionless" Lord of the Elements, he continued:
"Furthermore, we Blackwing Race are different from other races. We are the direct forces of the Second Demon God, you should know this..."
After he finished speaking, he tried to read something from Old Wang's face, but Old Wang disappointed him; the Lord of the Elements was just a Mecha and couldn't make expressions.
"Alright, I understand. Go back and tell your City Lord that I'll bring the goods to inspect later. If there are no problems, the price is actually acceptable!"
Old Wang seemed to have given in, and the Blackwing Race left arrogantly upon hearing this.
After he left, Old Wang smiled. He hadn't expected that this "small" Black Cloud City would almost have gathered all the materials for the Mythic Equipment.
However, to ensure that the six stones were not the same as the ones he had, Old Wang took out his cooled-down Lucky Pocket Watch and silently made a wish.
Seeing that his skill had entered its cooldown phase, Old Wang fiddled with it in the room for a while. After a flash of seven-colored light, he set off for the City Lord's Manor.
"You've arrived! The City Lord is waiting for you in the reception room!" Old Wang was greeted arrogantly by the man at the gate as he arrived at the City Lord's Manor.
He didn't say anything, and after following the Blackwing Race into the mansion, he discovered that the City Lord's Manor was actually quite a hidden world.
The Blackwing City Lord's mansion was decorated entirely with high-grade materials, including the floor tiles.
To put this into perspective, one could boldly say that the decor here is even more luxurious than any palace in the world.
This doesn't fit the character's profile as the weakest City Lord. How did this guy manage that?
Old Wang arrived at the reception room with doubts, only to find the Black Cloud City Lord waiting for him there.
"You've come!"
"They're here. Take me to inspect the goods. I can accept this price," Old Wang said.
"Great! Follow me!" said the Black Cloud City Lord.
After it finished speaking, it led Old Wang to its treasure vault. It did not take anything out, but instead led Old Wang into its treasure vault.
The vault wasn't large, but it was a true treasure trove, containing over 30 pieces of Epic Material, and Old Wang even spotted an Epic skill.
"How does this place compare to your Elemental Domain?" the Black Cloud City Lord asked, looking at the silent Old Wang.
Upon hearing this, Old Wang understood why it had brought him here; it turned out that it had been provoked by his words in the Black Cloud City treasure vault.
However, although this place is impressive, it pales in comparison to Old Wang's warehouse.
Old Wang didn't say much, but he was a little puzzled as to how it, with its strength and influence, had obtained these treasures.
After this period of time, he has gained a deep understanding of Black Cloud City. In the words of the people of Black Cloud City, it is a barren land where even birds wouldn't bother.
It is clearly unreasonable for City Lord to be so wealthy.
Although it's indeed illogical, everything here is actually produced in Black Cloud City.
This is all thanks to the "accidents" of recent years; after those Legendary were sent out to their deaths, the things they left behind ended up benefiting this City Lord.
It all started when the Cyclops were driven out of the city. The Black Cloud City Lord, who had eaten what the Cyclops left behind, couldn't stop.
If someone were to investigate, they would discover that those races that Legendary have died out would disappear silently within a few years, and their treasures would all end up in the City Lord's Manor.
Before that incident, the Black Cloud City Lord was Legendary third-tier city lord, but in just a few hundred years, it grew to Legendary seventh-tier city lord.
This represents a leap between two major stages. Such speed would be considered extraordinary even in major domains, let alone in the barren Black Cloud Domain.
All of this is, of course, due to the almost unlimited supply of resources; the power of "profiting from human blood" is fully demonstrated here.
The two heroes who helped him eat the steamed bun were Still Tiger and Shadow Mouse; their domain made it incredibly convenient to kill and steal treasures silently.
Otherwise, given Old Wang's status as Gold Element, it would never have dared to offend him so ruthlessly.
It was Old Wang who really cut off his source of income!
