Chapter 195 The Difficulty in Finding One’s Clansmen

Although he could not help Ron refine the weapon, Ron was still very happy when he knew that the old man had agreed to sell it to him. “Thank you, Senior. Thank you so much. How many spirit stones does this saber cost?”

The old man smiled and said, “Although there is a wisp of a dragon soul in the Blue Moon Saber, it is very difficult to take it out and integrate it into another magical weapon. If it fails, your money will be wasted. Do you want to reconsider?”

“No, you can name a price, Senior,” said Ron decisively.

“Actually, this saber is very fated with you, Mister. It doesn’t matter even if I give it to you for free. However, this saber is, after all, our store’s treasure. If the price is too low, it will damage our store’s reputation. If you’re willing, just 10,000 spirit stones will do,” said the old man.

“10,000 spirit stones is still considered a token sum?” Ron muttered to himself, instantly overturning his earlier impression of the old man. With so much upfront padding, Ron had thought that he would give it to him for free or sell it at an extremely low price. In the end, he had asked for 10,000 outright. Indeed, there was no merchant who was not shrewd.

At this moment, Ron started to hesitate. After all, 10,000 spirit stones was not a small sum. There was still the mission to find his clansmen next. Moreover, he did not know if the wisp of dragon soul could be injected into his Dragon Flame Flying Sword. This would be a huge risk.

This saber was not of much value to those who did not need dragon souls, but to someone like Ron, who needed dragon souls, it was a peerless treasure. He did not want to miss it at all. After all, he did not know when he would be able to find another dragon soul like this.

Ron was now the second kind of person. Faced with the exorbitant price and the risk, he became conflicted.

“Elder Senior, didn’t you say that you would only sell it to someone fated? Can it be cheaper for the person who is fated?” Ron was about to offer the elder senior a price.

“Mister, do you want to buy it?” The old man asked again.

Ron really did not want to miss it. “Yes,” he said resolutely.

The old man had not expected Ron to agree so readily. He felt a hint of regret. If he had known earlier, he would have asked for a higher price.

However, a gentleman would keep his promise. Since he had already said so, there was no room for regret. “Mister, if you want to refine a weapon, although I can’t help you, I can write an introduction letter for you. I recommend that you go to the Spirit Ribbon Academy and let the elders help you refine the weapon. This way, the success rate will be a little higher. However, the fee for refining a weapon is not included in these 10,000 spirit stones.”

When Ron left the store, he had 10,000 spirit stones fewer in his pocket, but gained an almost useless magical weapon. He also had a letter of recommendation.

However, Ron sensed the old man had a deep relationship with the Spirit Ribbon Academy His introduction letter would likely be of great value.

However, Ron could not go to the Spirit Ribbon Academy to refine his weapon yet. He had just asked the old man about it. If extracting the dragon soul from the magical weapon and fusing it with his Dragon Flame Flying Sword was a difficult task, even if he did not care about the success rate, it would still take more than ten days.

Ron’s first priority now was to find his clansmen, so how could he have the time to go to the Spirit Ribbon Academy? However, this thing was already in his hands. Was he still afraid that it would run away? There would be many more opportunities in the future.

Before he left, Ron continued to ask the old man if there was anyone with the surname of Nicholas in the village, but he did not get any leads.

Ron’s heart fell to rock bottom again, but he still had ten days. He could not give up, he could not let the Old Ancestor down.

Therefore, Ron started to ask one household by one household.

At the same time, in the Spirit Dragon Treasure Pavilion, Dick watched Ron’s back view disappear from his sight and said to the old man beside him, “Was that gentleman just now of the Divine Power Realm?”

The old man smiled and said, “Although I can’t be sure, it’s most likely true.”

After all, the old man had also been in the Divine Power Realm previously. Even though his level had regressed, his vision was still there, and his intuition and senses were more sensitive than that of ordinary people. The moment he saw Ron, he had already sensed that Ron should be a Mage of the Divine Power Realm.

And when the old man had said earlier that the treasure of the store would only be sold to the fated person, it was actually also partially true. If Ron wanted to snatch it by force, the old man would not have the ability to stop him. He might as well take the opportunity to sell it to Ron.

From his conversation with Ron, the old man had also sensed that Ron was an upright person and would not do such a thing as robbery. Seeing that he really wanted it, he had set the price a little higher. After all, it was considered a treasure of the store, and he would lose out if he sold it too low.

“Is the Nicholas family from Winterfrost the family clan that was often in the news a while ago?” Dick suddenly thought of something and asked.

“Perhaps. Rumors? They could be real or they could be false.” Although the old man said this, he still had some doubts in his heart and also a hint of curiosity.

In a corner of the Walls Village, Ron was still making inquiries at each household. After an afternoon, he still did not have any useful clues.

Not only was there no one with the surname of Nicholas, no one’s ancestors had come from the Nicholas family clan. This clansmen search mission was simply too difficult.

As Ron thought about his next move, he came to a restaurant to replenish some energy.

In fact, there was still a chance. Ron had no choice but to place his hopes on the outsiders living in the village.

“Sir, do you need help?” Suddenly, Ron heard a voice from the corner. He looked up and saw a petite man looking at him with a smile.

Ron quickly sensed that he was a Mage at the peak of the Physical Body Realm, and he did not have any hostility.

“What is it?” said Ron.

“Sir, don’t misunderstand. I don’t have any ill intentions. I have just accidentally heard that you seemed to be looking for someone. Do you need help?” the other party quickly explained.

Ron immediately understood what he meant. “If you can really help me find the person, money is naturally not an issue.”

It just so happened that Ron needed such a person whom he could pay to get things done. Money was not a problem. It was more crucial to help Ron find the person.

“I wonder who you are looking for, Sir. I’ve lived in Walls Village for ten years. I know most of the people in the village,” said the other party quickly.

“I want to find someone with the surname of Nicholas. If there is really none, it’s fine if the person’s ancestors are related to the Nicholas family clan. The only thing I can be sure of now is that he appeared in this village eight days ago. I don’t know if he’s a villager or an outsider,” said Ron quickly.
