CHAPTER 48: CHAPTER 48: DIVIDING EQUIPMENT

In the dim center of the maze

The luminescent hourglass became the biggest source of light here.

Longbei got up, patting the bone fragments off his body.

His body began to shrink, and the flame-like beard turned back to its original red.

The Flamebeard dwarves are a very famous family in Furnace Castle.

Their ancestor was once an explorer about to be promoted to a colored rank, who eventually fell in the defense of Furnace Castle.

Promoted to colored status upon near death, his beard turned to flames as he fought, contributing significantly to the continuation of Furnace Castle.

Afterward, his descendants all had red beards like him, which would turn into a flame when using their origin skills.

It’s said it enhances their skill effect, though no one knows if it’s true, but it sure looks cool.

After seeing Longbei deal with the monster in his hand, Kane and the others approached.

As they gathered together, Meizike suddenly said, "Don’t move."

Then he pulled out a vial, scattering its contents toward them.

What came out wasn’t liquid but a cluster of tiny red glowing particles.

These particles floated in the air, then gathered onto Kane and the others.

"Oh, it feels so good, my body feels much lighter now,"

Longbei, experiencing the red particles, couldn’t help but say.

Of course, Kane and the others felt the same.

The battle scrapes and discomfort vanished instantly, feeling as refreshed as if they had slept a whole day.

Kreya couldn’t help but ask Meizike: "What potion is this?"

"Healing particles," he pointed at the vial in his hand, "a healing product."

Still a brief introduction, sparing words like gold.

Longbei pointed at the hourglass on the stone pillar and said, "Now comfortable, hurry and take that hourglass down."

He couldn’t say it’s because of his inadequate height and it would be embarrassing to jump to get it.

Kane took his teammates to the stone pillar, looking at the hourglass in the middle.

He reached out both hands, taking the hourglass down.

The hourglass was much heavier than expected, but its crystal exterior was polished very smoothly, giving a nice tactile feeling.

When Kane successfully took the hourglass down, the dim sky turned into a cloud of white mist, and behind the mist, the familiar stands were visible again.

The maze began to tremble, and the surrounding walls started to retract into the ground, the originally expanded area also began to retract.

"Does each dungeon level have to change the scene like this?" Longbei questioned the scene transitions of this dungeon.

Kane recalled the opening and closing of the first five levels, nodding with certainty: "It seems to be the case."

As the tremors subsided, the maze vanished, and the scene transformed back into the initial arena shape.

The stands in the sky also returned to the surroundings, and the cheering from the stands resounded again.

No real novelty in this, but it seemed Longbei quite enjoyed it.

Several beams of golden light scattered again around, and the hourglass in hand dissipated.

These lights began to gather in the center of the arena.

When the light dispersed, a heap of gold coins plus the chest in the middle instantly excited the dwarves.

"Can these gold coins be taken away? The chest in the middle can also be opened, right?"

Seeing Longbei’s excited look, Kane was somewhat puzzled.

"Didn’t the dungeons you cleared before have these gold coins?"

"How could they have such a big pile of gold coins, the whole dungeon raid with less than 3000 gold coins coming out.

Most of the earnings are unwanted equipment and materials, the gold coin income is mainly from selling these ordinary equipment and materials."

"So little?"

Leaving that aside, Kane had Youyou start collecting the surrounding gold coins, and he and the others moved to the chest.

"Which of you two wants to experience the fun of opening the chest?"

Longbei glanced at Meizike, his eyes almost drowning in desire.

Meizike directly took a step back, gesturing for Longbei to go ahead.

"Good brother, you’re my good brother now."

Saying that, he eagerly ran to the chest.

This chest was evidently a tier higher than those in the first stage.

Previously it was made of iron, this time evidently silver, featuring some simple patterns.

Longbei directly opened the chest, and the opened chest dispersed with the wind, leaving five items in place.

Seeing the magic items on the ground, Longbei immediately gathered them all and handed them to Kane.

"Pack them up, and find an appraiser afterward."

Kane took the items and started checking, saying, "I am the appraiser."

"What, is there anything you can’t do? Mist is really unfair."

Although he said that, he still eagerly watched from the side, hoping Kane would appraise some good treasures.

First, he took out the largest item, a pair of arm guards.

[Protective Skeleton]

[Bone-made Arm Guards]

[Color: Copper]

[Attributes:]

[Slight Armor Enhancement - Physical]

[Slight Magic Resistance Enhancement - Undead]

[Description: Formed from the skull of a Skeleton Hound, it hopes its head can be a bit harder in the next life.]

According to the melee equipment rule, defense enhancements go to Longbei, attack enhancements to Kreya.

Kane directly handed the equipment to Longbei, explaining its general effect.

Longbei accepted without hesitation, directly replacing his ordinary arm guards.

Picking up the second item, it’s a rare accessory equipment.

An earring

[Magic Power Earring]

[Iron Earrings]

[Color: Copper]

[Attribute: Slight Magic Power Enhancement]

[Description: A very ordinary magic accessory, a novice’s practice piece.]

This item, Kane and Meizike both need, so he handed the earring to Meizike and told him the attributes.

Meizike waved his hand, showing a vial: "Use, not needing magic power"

His magic power mostly spent configuring potions in his room after leaving the dungeon.

During battles, the control of vials hardly consumes his magic power, thus the slightly enhanced magic power is too trivial for him.

Kane didn’t fuss, directly wearing the earring on one of his ears, luckily it’s just a simple blue circular ring without ornate decorations.

Then he picked up a bracelet to check, this time it burst two magic accessories at once, Longbei’s luck seemed good.

[Strong Strike Bracelet]

[Copper Bracelet]

[Color: Copper]

[Attribute: None]

[Skill: Powerful Strike] (Spending magic power, adds extra magical damage to the next melee attack, added damage attribute - arcane)

[Description: A delicate bracelet by a renowned artist.]

A skill bracelet adding melee attack, this undoubtedly belonged to Kreya.

He directly handed the bracelet to her and explained the skill effect.

The last two items include a pair of gloves and something instantly recognized as magic materials.

[Five Fingers]

[Gauze Gloves]

[Color: Copper]

[Attribute: Agility Enhancement - Fingers]

[Description: Popular decorative items among nobles, perhaps not just decorations.]

He handed the gloves to Meizike, who accepted them after feeling the enhancement they brought.

The last magic power material still offered a medium enhancement, nearing the next skill stone.
