Chapter 63: The Transfer Market
The Nine Dragons Tournament concluded successfully.
The victor, Danun, received the Blue-Red Twin Swords, 1,000 taels of silver, and a sword renowned as a divine weapon.
If one had to pick the most valuable item, it was undoubtedly the sword.
The Black Steel Divine Sword.
It was the signature weapon of the famed Black Demon Sword Master from a hundred years ago, forged by blending black iron and cloud iron to achieve unparalleled hardness.
For Dan-un, who had already mastered the middle sword, it was an unparalleled gift.
And as for me, the runner-up.
‘This filthy world only remembers the winner.’
I got nothing.
All I received was 500 taels of silver, and even that was snatched away by the cleaning service.
“You have to pay for the medicinal herbs!”
“Didn’t you say you’d fix it for free if I won?”
“So you expect me to cover the medicine costs too? Did you bury your conscience deep in the ground? Do you even know what it takes to heal internal injuries? Fine. If you’re that stingy, I’ll just treat you with acupuncture. But be prepared to spend a year or two confined to a bed.”
“······.”
Well, that’s how it turned out.
After paying for all the herbs, only 10 taels remained of the prize money. Unfolding the Lotus Flower Formation had cost him 490 taels.
‘Losing 500 million in one go? That’s definitely forbidden magic.’
Yet, even amidst this regret, his heart felt rich.
“Hehehe.”
Because the winnings from Nine Dragons’ Battle were still sitting pretty in his coffers.
