Chapter 270: Strike First

Translator: Lonelytree

Rheagar shook his head.

“We were all close. At that time, you, me, and Eric, but only Eric bravely rushed up. He was a real warrior, but unfortunately…”

The two of them were silent for a while.

Seeing this, Matthew tried to change the topic and asked,

“Then how much does this bow cost?”

The worry on Old Fallon’s face instantly disappeared.”

“3500 gold coins!”

Matthew’s eyes almost popped out.

3500?

He estimated the price to be around 1,500!

Old Fallon continued,

“3500 is just the price of the Jade Trade Wind itself. In fact, I have 12 special arrows that are specially used to match this bow: Strike the Heavens. If you are sure you want to buy it, I can sell it to you at a cheaper price, 40 gold coins each. Trust me, these special arrows won’t disappoint you.” Matthew sighed deeply.

“I’m sorry, Mr. Fallon. I’m afraid my wallet will disappoint you.” However, Old Fallon introduced them with deep affection.

“Do you think it’s very expensive? However, the value of the bow itself was astonishing. Its previous owner was Tyraste of Jade Court, the famous Windchaser Grand Marshal. When Tyraste was young, he loved archery and soon became a famous archer in the world.

“He had once used this bow to kill a giant dragon!

“Not long after, Tyraste fell madly in love with an elven girl and gave her the Jade Trade Wind as a token of love.

“However, that girl didn’t love him. In order to clearly reject Tyraste’s love, she gave me the Jade Trade Wind.

“Since then, this treasure has been kept in my hands.

“I spent a wonderful time with that elf girl named Nila. Unfortunately, we didn’t end up together.

“Under the pressure of the traditional elven ethics, Nila eventually returned to Jade Court. Under her parents’ insistence, she married Tyraste and even had a child with him.

“However, not long after, Nila passed away due to depression.

“Later, I went to Jade Court once. I wanted to ask the elves for the secret recipe to cure the poison of the Inferno Viper, but I was almost killed by the Windchasers.

“Since then.

“I never saw Tyraste again.

“It was said that after Nila’s death, he completely gave up archery and switched to practising the sword chant of the elves. He even had some achievements.

“But even so.

“This Jade Trade Wind was still of great significance to Tyraste.

“Although he did not come to find the bow himself, he sent his son, Tarani, to Rolling Stone Town.

“He looked almost like his mother, Nila.

“But I still rejected him.

“Because he couldn’t give me the price I wanted.

“If you buy this bow, you might be able to exchange it for the friendship of a Windchaser Grand Marshal when you don’t need it in the future. Moreover, I heard that his son, Tarani, is also a big shot among the Windchasers.

“Believe me, the benefits that this Jade Trade Wind can bring you will definitely exceed your expectations!”

Old Fallon’s voice was like the whisper of a demon.

It pierced through Matthew’s heart step by step.

Half a minute later.

Matthew suddenly looked up at Rheagar.

“I bought the Jade Trade Wind to resist the invasion of the Scar of the Dead.

This should be a major event that concerns the safety of the entire town.”

Rheagar said warily,

“What do you want to do?”

Matthew said righteously, “This is a public expense, so it should be paid for at public expense. I can temporarily take out a sum of money to buy the jade trade wind, but soon, I will apply for reimbursement.”

Rheagar said confidently,

“You can apply however you want. If I don’t pass your reimbursement request, it’s over for you.”

Matthew said calmly, “It doesn’t matter. I’ll look for Zeller.” The smile on Rheagar’s face immediately disappeared.

Matthew turned around and said confidently to Old Fallon,

“I’ll buy it, the full price, and those twelve special arrows too!”

As he spoke, he took out a large sum of money and handed it over.

Rheagar felt that something was wrong and questioned,

“Where did you get so much money?”

Matthew coughed.

“In order to protect Rolling Stone Town, I temporarily embezzled the public funds of the Oak Chamber of Commerce.”

After the small interlude.

Rheagar pointed at the Scar of the Dead weakly and asked,

“This thing has always been hanging beside our town, and it’s always an unstable factor. Although your undead can resist their invasion, it’s not a long-term solution. What are your plans next?” Matthew muttered, “I do have an immature idea.”

Rheagar said,

“As long as we can get rid of the hidden danger of the Scar of the Dead, Rolling

Stone Town will fully cooperate.”

Matthew said,

“I observed that if the Scar of the Dead wants to grow, it must constantly devour life essence.

“Every place in our living space contains a large amount of life essence, but the earth has the most life essence.

“The land with life was the carrier for the expansion of the Scar of the Dead.

“It would continue to plunder the vitality of the land to expand.

“From this perspective.

“I planned to hold a forbidden ritual near the Scar of the Dead and take the initiative to drain the life force of the nearby land. From there, I would create an artificial land of death to act as a buffer.

“Since the Scar of the Dead’s expansion was based on the plundering of life elements…

“So as long as we strike first and take the life force for ourselves, it won’t have anything to plunder.”
