FYN Chapter 29 Where did your head go?
Chapter 29 Where did your head go?
A treasure chest monster?
Dungeon?
Sophia was alarmed. She knew about the mimicry and the dungeons. Adventurers, mercenaries, mages, alchemists, and potion makers from the kingdom would venture into the dungeons for commissions or extraordinary materials and herbs.
Mimics are among the most common, cunning, and ferocious monsters in dungeons.
Mimics disguise themselves as treasure chests and wait for adventurers to open them. When an adventurer opens a mimic, the mimic will swallow the adventurer whole.
It turns out that the treasure chest monsters in the dungeon... are actually monsters from hell.
When Diding heard the Headless Horseman mention the dungeon, he glanced at the Headless Horseman.
The dungeon is located right on the border between hell and the human world, and he never expected that the dungeon would buy monsters from hell caravans.
"Mimics are extremely ferocious, they..."
Just as the headless knight was about to introduce the mimic to Distin, he saw Distin casually poke the mimic on the back of the demon worm with his dragon claw.
The ferocious mimic trembled and dared not move.
Open your mouth.
All the mimics immediately opened their mouths wide.
Diding glanced around and saw that some mimics contained gold and silver treasures, while others had nothing inside.
Not bad.
Opening blind boxes can yield gold and silver treasures, making it worthwhile for adventurers in the human world to take the risk.
"Besides the mimicry, the other goods in our caravan are also quite good. Let me introduce them to the Lord of Thunder."
This treasure chest contains a pair of demonic wings that can be implanted into ghosts, evil spirits, zombies, ghouls, and other monsters, including humans.
Of course, there is also a side effect: if a being lacks strong willpower and strength to implant these demonic wings into their body, they might be reborn through the remnant consciousness of the wings' original owner.
Tsk.
The goods from the Hell Caravan were indeed quite sinister.
"When you sell these demon wings, do you inform the buyers about the side effects?"
"Of course," the headless horseman chuckled. "Whether human, ghost, or any other kind of being, everyone harbors a sense of侥幸 (a gambler's mentality). So, even though some buyers know that these demon wings are dangerous, they will still buy them."
Diding glanced at Sophia. Given how cowardly this brat was, knowing the side effects of the Demon Wings, she probably wouldn't even dare to touch it.
Okay, he overestimated this kid.
The little brat backed away as soon as he heard the Headless Horseman's description of the demon wings.
The headless knight looked up at Distin; clearly, the demon wings held no appeal for the Lord of Thunder.
"Besides these demon wings, our caravan's other goods are also quite good. This treasure chest contains a demon sword. Its owner was once a hero in the human world at some point, but later fell and his holy sword turned into a demon sword."
This demonic sword has wounded angels; Lord of Thunder, would you be interested in seeing it?
Have you ever slain a dragon?
"This... I don't know." The headless knight chuckled awkwardly. To say in front of the dragon that this demonic sword had slain a dragon was practically suicide.
"What else?"
"There is also the 'Tears of the Holy Lance,' once used by a holy knight. This holy lance once killed a great demon."
"What else?"
Next, the headless horseman introduced all the goods of their caravan to Distin.
Sophia didn't know how the dragon Didin felt when he saw these products.
But every time the headless horseman introduced a product to the dragon Diding, Sophia was shocked.
Heroic spirits!
The Headless Horseman's caravan even sells [Heroic Spirits]!
Legend has it that some heroes become "heroic spirits" after they die. These heroic spirits do not go to hell and possess extraordinary combat power.
How dare the Headless Horsemen sell Heroic Spirits as commodities?!
Besides Heroic Spirits, their merchandise also includes Hell Banshees, Cursed Runes, Giant Arms, and Exotic Captured Eyes, which are larger than millstones and can rotate on their own.
A banshee with a girl's face, a harpy body, human legs, and wings with sharp claws.
There were even cubs of hellhounds.
It is not a cub of Cerberus, but a one-headed Cerberus.
However, some hellhound pups can evolve into three-headed hellhounds.
When she first started summoning skeleton soldiers one after another, she even fantasized about summoning hellhounds...
At that time, she never dreamed that one day she would see the cubs of hellhounds in hell as a ghost.
"Lord of Thunder, do you see... anything you need here?"
Is there sunshine?
"..."
How could there be a sun in hell?
Don't even mention the Ash Caravan; even the Devil City couldn't possibly create a sun in Hell.
"Lord Distin, please don't tease me."
"Are there any seeds?"
"?"
Seeds?
The headless knight pondered for a moment, then asked, "What kind of seed does the Lord of Thunder desire? A seed that can grow into a monster? Or a seed that has the potential to become a powerful being?"
"Seeds of crops, seeds that can bear fruit, demonized grain seeds, fruit seeds, or rare and precious materials are all acceptable."
"...No...no, the Eternal Ashes have all sorts of seeds, but those things are too common, our Ashes caravan didn't bring any."
Diding glanced at the headless knight and said, "Next time you do business with me, remember to bring seeds. I'll take any kind of seed. Now... leave that heroic spirit and the hellhound cub behind, and you can leave."
"..."
The headless knight remembered what he had said before, and allowed the "Lord of Thunder" to choose three items from the caravan's goods.
His companion, Nightmare Beast, was taken away by the dragon Diding.
With the addition of the Heroic Spirit and the Hellhound cub, there are exactly three items.
And the dragon Diding did not pay any reward.
This was the first time their caravan had ever made a deal that resulted in a loss.
"Lord Distin, if you have any local specialties, we can buy them or barter with you."
"Want some dragon dung?"
"..."
Dragon dung...
What do they need dragon dung for?
Do you use dragon dung to start a fire and drive away monsters?
That's something adventurers in the human world like to do.
"Besides dragon dung, is there anything else Lord Didin wishes to sell?"
"How about we sell you my information?"
"..."
Evil dragon!
Their caravan already knew that there was a living, breathing dragon in the Crimson Wasteland.
The dragon Destin is now selling this information to them, and he can also get their caravan's goods for free!
"This...this...sigh..." the headless knight sighed. "Well...I wonder what Lord Didin desires this time?"
"Five thousand seeds. Bring five thousand seeds to see me next time."
"Deal!" The headless knight readily agreed. "However, there is one thing I must remind Lord Distin: once your news spreads, it may attract the attention of many powerful beings in Hell, which could bring you some danger."
"You're quite something, being headless," Distin grinned, and asked, "Where did your head go?"
