The Death List Novel - Chapter 78

Chapter 78 Favor
“These are Moonlight Grass and Golden Silkworm Dust … Are the other two the heart cores and eyeballs of some magical creature?” Edeline looked at the items Qin Lun handed over and quickly recognized two of them. As for the Stone Statue Ghost Core and Demon Eye, they only recognized the general types.

The laws of the shattered starry sky did not allow the apostles to disclose the contents of foreign missions to the native intelligent races, and they could monitor them at any time through the Apostle Soul Seal. This surveillance was not limited to the apostles themselves, but rather locked onto a certain area of space through soul seals. The higher the level of the apostle, the greater the scope of the surveillance.

As a result, the apostles were unable to disclose the contents of alien missions through words, words, and hints. The intelligent races were also unable to obtain the secret symbols of other worlds through external surveillance, basically cutting off the way for the native races of the Shattered Universe to understand the other worlds.

However, compared to the contents of the quest, Shattering the Universe was less restrictive on the apostles’ equipment, bloodline skills, and treasure crystals. Although the apostles were still unable to explain these things, the intelligent races in the starry sky were still able to understand their uses and attributes through certain ways.

This was mainly because the Shattered Universe itself had many different civilizations. Many of the equipment and bloodline skills that the apostles obtained from other worlds could find similar versions in the Shattered Universe.

The equipment used by the apostles was also a treasure that was extremely precious to the intelligent races in the starry sky. However, apart from the spiritual equipment produced by the Shattered Universe itself, most of the high-quality treasures that the apostles obtained from other worlds were restricted by Laws. Other than the apostles, other intelligent creatures were unable to use them.

This was evident from Malfoy’s treatment of blue-quality crossbows as family heirlooms.

In the Ancient Era when the Broken Star System introduced the apostles, there were some intelligent races who planned to obtain the apostles’ Fiendgod bloodline through marriage. However, the apostles’ nomological bodies seemed to be constrained by the shattered starry sky, preventing them from giving birth to descendants of the native races, thus frustrating the plans of these intelligent races.

As for the apostles’ skills, some of them could be imparted to intelligent races. However, while the apostles only needed a skill scroll to learn a low-level skill, it would take years or decades for other intelligent creatures to successfully cultivate it.

Some of the higher apostles speculated that this might be due to the different composition of the two bodies. After all, the apostle’s body was a law body, and skills were also a law that could be easily absorbed by the body. The bodies of other intelligent creatures were living flesh and blood. The laws of a skill could only be mastered through long periods of cultivation and familiarity.

“En, that magical object core and eyeball are equipment materials. If you help me make the Moonlight Grass and Golden Silkworm Dust into potions, then these two equipment materials will be given to you!” Qin Lun revealed a harmless and charming smile.

Edeline’s expression was somewhat serious. She silently stared at Qin Lun and did not say anything for a long time.

Only when the youth felt a little uncomfortable did the elven beauty quietly say, “The Forest of Moonlight follows the principle of equal exchange. It charges for helping the apostles make potions and equipment. Generally speaking, making low-grade potions and equipment costs 30% of the materials. For medium-quality items, it charges 50% of the materials!”

“What about high-quality items?” Qin Lun’s eyes lit up and he immediately asked.

‘”Our alchemists and pharmacists are unable to decipher the principles and laws of high-grade treasures in other worlds. The failure rate of forcibly making high-quality items is very high. Occasionally, success depends on luck. In order to make high-quality equipment, we need to go to a special apostle city. Only there are professional apostles who have cultivated alchemy skills.”

“Moonlight Grass and Golden Silkworm Dust can be combined into a healing ointment, but there is a lack of other supplementary materials,” she said carelessly as she stroked her hair beside her ear. The quality of the eyeballs and heart cores is not very high. Our alchemist level is limited, so we can only make consumables. If you bring them to the apostolic city, you should have a chance to make blue-quality equipment … ”

“There’s no need. I’ll leave these things to you. The cost of materials will also come from here. Even if all the production fails, it doesn’t matter!” Qin Lun narrowed his eyes and said with a smile, “I am very grateful to the Moonlight Forest for its help during this period of time. Even if you use these materials to train your pharmacists, it is still appropriate.”

The Moonlight Forest had practiced the principle of equal exchange for the apostles to help Qin Lun make potions. They had also benefited from receiving materials that were equivalent to receiving a healing ointment for nothing. Don’t underestimate this healing ointment. A medicine that can heal injuries in just a few minutes in a battle is no less valuable than a small bottle of World Tree Dew.

However, Qin Lun was so easy to talk to, which made Edeline silent instead. Although she wasn’t as experienced as her father, Malfoy, in receiving the apostles, she knew that Qin Lun’s current attitude was very problematic.

The fact that the apostle gave the benefits to the floating city was not a good thing for the floating city. It showed that the apostle was repaying the favor of the floating city in the early days.

In Qin Lun’s words, Edeline also heard a strong hint. The young man, who always had a smile on his face, was hinting that she could swallow the ingredients without giving him anything.

These potion materials and two equipment materials were even more valuable than the three items Mafa had given the youth. In other words, Qin Lun was using this method to return Moonlight Forest’s favor and Malfoy’s investment.

Adrienne sniffed her delicate little nose and glanced at Qin Lun with dissatisfaction. She really didn’t want to get involved in such a thing. However, as Malfoy’s daughter, Qin Lun had to return the favor to her. She had to make her own choice.

After taking away the materials, Qin Lun’s bond with the Moonlight Fairy would be cut off, and no one would owe him anything. Leaving a portion of the ingredients as refining costs was also possible, in line with the Moonlight Forest’s principle of equivalent exchange.

Of course, Edeline had another choice. She would continue to increase her investment in Qin Lun and let the Moria family make ointments and equipment for free. However, Qin Lun’s expectation of the apostle city was very obvious. The Moonlight Forest would probably not be able to retain this official apostle anymore. This was not a wise choice.

“The Moonlight Forest has been out of the Fairy Continent for a long time and has consumed a lot of resources. I’m afraid there will be a shortage of supplementary materials for making healing ointments. Can you give me some? I will describe the shape and address of these materials to you in detail.” Edeline said calmly.

“Of course!” Qin Lun raised his eyebrows and said meaningfully. According to the description of the elven beauty, he purchased more than 20 supplementary materials for making healing ointments from the list of materials on the exchange list and handed them over to her along with the moonlight grass and the golden silkworm dust.

“Tomorrow morning, the Moonlight Forest will return through the Gate of the Universe. The opening of the large Gate of the Universe is very magnificent. If you are interested, you can get up early and watch it!” Edeline greeted Qin Lun’s departing figure.

Qin Lun did not turn his head. He only raised his hand and shook it, heading towards the tunnel below the lake. Only Adrienne, who had lowered her head and was deep in thought, was left in the forest.

“Edeline!” Not long after Qin Lun left, Edeline suddenly heard a low voice that had a long tone.

“Eh, Sir Fernand? Why are you awake? I remember that you just entered a long sleep last month!” The elven beauty turned her head in surprise and looked at the old face that suddenly appeared on the tree trunk.

“That apostle just now was very dangerous” The treant’s pale face, full of cracks and wrinkles, moved slightly as he slowly spat out his words.

“How did you … was it the test just now?” Edeline quickly understood and her expression changed.

“Well, after that apostle was anesthetized by the psychedelic gas, I felt an uneasy aura from him … That aura is very dark and evil … You must be careful!” After the treant warned the elven beauty, she closed her eyes again.

“The terrifying aura that can wake the treant from his slumber … Father, you really found an interesting apostle!” Adrienne held her chin with both hands and looked at the distant Moonlight Lake with a flickering gaze.

The next day, Qin Lun woke up early and walked out of town with Didi. On the shore of Moonshine Lake, they ran into other people. Xiaolian, Lin Feng, disciple Hansen, and the others were waiting for the ship to pick them up. Like Qin Lun, they wanted to go to the island in the middle of the Moonlight Lake and watch the opening of the starry sky gate.

“Great Devil King Qin Lun!” Xiao Lian happily waved to Qin Lun.

“Boss Qin Lun, you’re also here!” Lin Feng’s face was still filled with a flattering smile.

However, Qin Lun could tell that this young master of an aristocratic family was somewhat different from half a month ago, and his eyes were filled with confidence and calmness.

“Your little follower seems to have worked very hard these past few days. He is desperately training and learning elven martial skills in the academy.” Disciple Hansen leaned over to Qin Lun and said in a teasing tone. His eyes were filled with ridicule as he looked at Lin Feng.

“Everyone has the right to live, and he is not my follower!” Qin Lun turned to look at Hansen. His pupils constricted and he said inexplicably, “Looks like you’re very lucky!”

“Oh, you mean this?” Hansen was slightly stunned. Then, he pointed at his shoulder and smiled. “Didn’t you already have it? Of the four of us, you must be the first one to have it!”

Compared to half a month ago, Hansen had a black-winged angel tattoo on his bare shoulders. However, Qin Lun knew that this wasn’t a tattoo, it was an Apostle Soul Seal. Furthermore, it could transform into a clear image of a Black-winged Angel, indicating that Hansen had also obtained special equipment similar to the Death List.

“Who are the other two?” Qin Lun smiled noncommittally.

“Haha, there’s no harm in telling you. The other two are Shepherd Hill and Clown Grant!” Hansen looked at a corner of the crowd and curled his lips in disdain. “Of the five of us, only Fireworks Rand is behind. A coward who relies on a bomb to kill can’t!”

As the two of them spoke, a small black dot appeared on the surface of the lake and slowly floated over from afar …
