Brand smiled and thought to himself, of course you wouldn't understand the value of the Ghost Knight Crystal. This thing was hyped up to a sky-high price of three hundred million Thor in 'Amber Sword'. Even until the mid-Second Epoch, only a few RMB warriors could afford equipment engraved with a Ghost Knight Crystal.

However, wanting to get the Engraving Crystal seems somewhat wishful thinking. In other words, it's like floating clouds in the sky, beautiful to look at but ultimately meaningless.

Because even Brand himself never took this sentence seriously.

Engraving Crystals are products of the sublimation and purification of the attributes of the monsters themselves, whether dark, evil, flying, or floating—any kind of Engraving Crystal has an extremely rare chance of forming, let alone a Ghost Knight Crystal, which has a drop rate of about seven decimal places.

The chances of getting such a thing are just slightly higher than the chances of crossing into another world.

He picked up the heavy crossbow and asked, "Do you have Magic Arrows?"

"Yes," two Elemental Mages among the Rubis Mercenaries immediately responded eagerly. The two girls were twins, with long gray-brown hair braided into thin braids by their long ears. In fact, they were both Wild Elves from the mountains of Orkash. When Brand became a member of the Divine Power in his previous life, he fought the Undead in Orkash for quite a long time and was not unfamiliar with this race.

Wild Elves are actually children of the Goddess Gaia, hence they are closer to the Dwarves of the Stone Clan. The two races often intermarry and have vastly different customs. However, the Wild Elves are warlike and produce many hunters, Elemental Mages, and Hunting Cavalry. These three professions are quite aggressive, reflecting the fierce nature of their people.

Back when Kruz's fourth king, Long Blade Halson, invaded the Rubis states, they suffered great losses at their hands. Although they ultimately won, the cost was heavy.

So to this day, the Cruz people and Wild Elves still view each other with hostility.

It was this fierce and open demeanor that led many Wild Elves to enter the human world. They chose equally fierce professions—mercenaries. In this respect, this female-heavy race aligned with the Rubis people, forming united armies comprised of Wild Elves, mountain Dwarves, and Rubis people.

Therefore, Brand was not surprised to hear that there were two Wild Elf Elemental Mages among the mercenaries. It would be more surprising if there were two War Priests. The Rubis and Cruz people were mortal enemies.

(* War Priests are elite priests cultivated by the Cruz people, the precursor to this organization being the Imperial War Preaching Group. Its headquarters is the Temple of the King located in the highlands of the Haruli Region. This temple annually produces an endless stream of young, excellent priests for this empire, marked by the eagle as its emblem.)

"Lord, which kind do you want?" The elder sister, with a sharper face and fairer skin, asked sweetly.

"Ice and Wind. How many can you make?"

"Without conserving mana, I can make ten."

"I can make six," the younger sister replied crisply.

"That's enough," Brand interrupted them. "Give me seven of each, and make two Guiding Arrows with the rest."

The sisters exchanged glances, each a bit surprised, then looked at their captain. Finally, the elder sister asked quietly, "Lord, we can understand Wind Binding Arrows and Ice Split Arrows, but Guiding Arrows... Aren't they typically used alone?"

They weren't lying. Guiding Arrows are generally used to make expensive double or multi Magic Arrows. After all, high-level Magic Arrows are costly and non-recoverable, and they only take effect if they hit. It's like missing a shot with a Dragon Slayer Arrow—what a huge loss.

Thus, the so-called dual magic arrows, also known as guiding magic arrows, were invented. But no one had ever heard of using a Guiding Arrow alone, except for nobles who used them to cheat in hunts—

However, Brand had other plans. He smiled, "No problem, you just need to do it. Don't conserve your mana. After finishing my task, you can join Roman and Antitina at the back to rest. The next battle will be left to others."

The elder sister nodded. Although still dubious, she knew that human lords were often stubborn. So this more mature elf girl wisely chose to keep silent. But her younger sister frowned and continued to ask, "But, Lord..."
