It wasn’t until Vira used the excuse of “needing to verify whether Truth’s words were actually true” and left somewhat flustered that Truth could vaguely sense an excited energy radiating from her.
Coming today to report the situation to the Beast God, she unexpectedly traded her own body for several pieces of extremely important intelligence.
Though she still didn’t know if the information was true or false, Vira’s intuition told her that Truth probably hadn’t lied to her, because she could feel Truth’s affection toward her…
She had originally wanted to use Truth’s affection to squeeze out a bit more information, but Vira was also afraid Truth might do something even more excessive to her next.
Thinking about it, she decided to let it go for now—she had already reached her limit today. She’d deal with it later…
“I feel like the big cat and the little cat are almost exactly the same.” Truth said as she watched Vira’s retreating figure.
Then, the sound of a teleportation array activating came from outside the Frozen Temple.
“They are mother and daughter, after all.” The Beast God let out a faint sigh in response.
It suddenly occurred to Him that perhaps Wilona had also been toyed with by demons recently, making the same kind of expression as her mother.
It was one thing for the big cat to be toyed with, but if the little kitten was also being toyed with like that, then that was just too…
“So what about my Legendary Weapon? I need to hurry up and snatch one to play with.”
Facing the Beast God, Truth put away her playful attitude and regained her original arrogant demeanor.
She had fulfilled her promise not to let Vira know she was a Blood Demon—now it was the Beast God’s turn to fulfill His promise.
“No problem.” The Beast God began rapidly recalling all the Legendary Weapons He currently knew the whereabouts of:
“First is the free city of Wangsheng City, the closest to Deya City. There, they possess a legendary scepter that can control the waters of the Wangsheng River. That scepter is also the very foundation upon which the entire city of Wangsheng was built. Besides the Scepter of Rebirth, there are also several secretive families there, each possessing their own Legendary Weapon, though no one currently knows what they are.
If you want to cause trouble for them, I’d advise you to be careful. There’s a reason this city, composed of blasphemers who openly oppose the gods, has remained active until now…”
“Wangsheng City has several Legendary Weapons…” Truth nodded thoughtfully, then the Beast God continued:
“Next is the Land of Exile on the world’s western side. That place is desolate, though I’ve heard the Demon God has recently been secretly working with others to research an artificial weapon, seemingly at the Legendary grade. I can’t be a hundred percent certain either.
Next would be our Northern Region. Um… well… could we skip the Northern Region? You should like the little cats, right? If you directly take away their Legendary Weapons, they’ll end up hating you, you know?”
“Well, that depends on the situation.” Truth looked indifferent:
“As long as I like them, that’s enough. Whether they like me or not doesn’t matter. So hurry up and tell me!”
“Uh… fine. Our Northern Region currently has three publicly known Legendary Weapons, all owned by the Northern Family. The one I know of is a magic staff that can control blizzards. As for the other two, I didn’t ask Vira about them…”
As a special deity, the Beast God was unable to use weapons and items that only humans could use.
Combined with His inherently weak strength, He generally had no interest in weapons on a daily basis.
“Continue.”
“The Lizardman Nation possesses a Legendary Weapon said to be capable of free transformation. The Elven Nation possesses two, though after all these years, no one has been able to determine what type of weapons the elves have. Then there’s Sunrise Isle in the East—several families there possess Legendary Weapons, and they seem quite united. As for the types of weapons… I haven’t been to that place in several hundred years, so I’m not too clear on that either.
As for the dwarves, I don’t know much about them either. Ever since the Race War ended, they’ve become just as mysterious as the elves. However, one thing to note is that the dwarves possess the ability to repair Legendary-grade items and weapons.
The Demon Lord’s Castle possesses three Legendary Weapons, each used by one of the three Original Demons. Though without the Demon God’s permission, they’re generally not allowed to use the Legendary Weapons… Oh right, the information I’m giving you doesn’t account for the gods. After all, aside from me, almost every human god possesses a full set of Legendary equipment. You wouldn’t be thinking of robbing a god, would you? Then there’s…”
“Wait, why are there so many?” Truth suddenly interrupted. She had thought there was only a tiny bit of Legendary Weapons left in this world, yet there were actually that many!
Truth didn’t have the energy to investigate every faction’s Legendary Weapons one by one.
She needed to acquire a weapon with maximum efficiency, and everything else would fall into place naturally.
So she directly asked the Beast God:
“Just tell me directly which place has the Legendary Weapon that would be easiest for me to snatch.”
“Uh, you’re really going to rob them?” The Beast God froze for a moment. At first, He had thought Truth was just joking around.
“What else would I do?” Truth scoffed:
“Should I calmly go up to someone and say, ‘Oh please, I beg you, won’t you kindly give me your Legendary Weapon~’?!”
“But wouldn’t that be inappropriate?”
The Beast God instinctively glanced at the fate of the Legendary Weapon Truth would snatch, and He discovered that if He became an accomplice, a portion of the misfortune from Truth’s deeds would definitely transfer onto Him!
He really needed to refuse… So the Beast God carefully spoke up: “Listen to me…”
But Truth directly cut him off, hands on her hips as she rapidly said:
“If you won’t tell me, then I’ll go snatch Vira’s Legendary Weapon right now and say you were the one who ordered me to do it!”
“What?!”
The Beast God was completely startled by Truth’s words. Damn, was this what demons were like? Resorting to such vicious tricks right off the bat!
Though it was hardly humane, it was certainly effective.
The Beast God immediately hesitated, starting to weigh the cost-performance of it all.
In the end, He realized that as long as Truth didn’t bully Vira and become the enemy of the Northern Region, then reluctantly becoming Truth’s accomplice wasn’t entirely out of the question…
Damn demon!
Then the Beast God conceded with a sigh:
“Fine. The easiest place to snatch a Legendary Weapon… is in the Wangdu of Sylvia. The prosperity and corruption of Sylvia’s Wangdu can be said to be second to none. There, any family with even a little bit of power will try every possible means to rake in money. Moreover, they have close ties with various border regions, and every day they smuggle in a bunch of extremely rare items from all over the world—including remnants of Legendary Weapons.
Ever since the Race War ended, the ancient battlefields in the Land of Exile have periodically yielded remnants of Legendary Weapons from excavations. As a result, many families take great risks trying to smuggle those regulated Legendary Weapon remnants, cooperating with the dwarves to attempt repairs.
If you truly want to obtain a Legendary Weapon in the simplest way, then I’d suggest trying to acquire a Legendary Weapon remnant and handing it to someone else for repair. Or alternatively, wait until someone else finishes repairing it, and then you go and… uh… snatch it. Though by that point, you’d likely have to face the full power of a fully repaired Legendary Weapon…”
…
“Sylvia’s Wangdu…” Truth felt like she had some impression of that name.
If she remembered correctly, that place was… where the Chief Priest Kashan wanted her to go and be a good student?
