Don't call me evil god

Chapter 263 Shattered peace
“It, it, it…it’s glowing!”

The long sword exudes a faint white glow, especially the gem inlaid at the end of the sword, which is even more dazzling against the white light.

The weapon seemed to have suddenly transformed from an ordinary weapon into a divine weapon blessed by the gods.

The first impression given by the appearance is different!

Pete Twain was horrified.

It’s not just that I’m surprised by the changes that have occurred in weapons;
And the surprise at the reactions of the other customers in the blacksmith shop.

When the other guests heard Petunia's exclamation, they just turned their heads and glanced over here. When they saw the weapon glowing white, their eyes only fluctuated for a moment before they looked away.

There was no such obvious reaction as Pete Twain.

He looked as if he was used to it.

"This, I, You, It, They..."

Pete Twain was a little speechless.

Mullen patiently explained to Pete Twain with a smile on his face: "Congratulations, Mr. Tostin!"

"Three consecutive reinforcements were successful."

"This is the effect of the enhanced divine spell [Equipment Enhancement]."

Pointing at the long sword that was emitting white light.

"We generally refer to its current state as +3 enhancement, which means it has completed three consecutive enhancements. The white glow it emits is its signature feature."

"Not only the +3 state, if you can continuously enhance the equipment to +6, +9, etc., its light effect will also change accordingly."

"From what I've heard, after +6 it will glow a noticeable pale green."

"As for +9, sorry, I haven't seen anyone successfully enhance a piece of equipment nine times in a row."

Petunia felt her heartbeat quicken.

There are also different lighting effects, isn’t this exactly what he needs!
Other people's weapons looked unremarkable at first glance, just ordinary iron weapons.

All of his equipment has light effects, and the color of the light effects is the kind that symbolizes multiple consecutive successful enhancements.

"How much does the fourth enhancement cost?"

Ma Lun smiled and held up three fingers: "Not expensive, 3 silver coins."

"What are you waiting for? Keep strengthening!" Petwin said without hesitation.

It seems that each additional consecutive enhancement will cost 10 silver coins more.

For ordinary adventurers, dozens of silver coins are a huge sum of money.

Pete Twain is not short of money!

He was already looking forward to what his weapon would look like after he successfully enhanced it 9 times in a row. After the 12th time, he was imagining what it would look like!
"It's worth coming to Xiwei Territory!"

“No wonder so many people come here rather than stay in the safe border camps.”

Pete Twain understood it all.

He had thought it through. Even if he didn't achieve anything in killing monsters during this hunting month, if he could bring home a weapon with a +12 enhancement and show it to his father, he would definitely stand out among his brothers and sisters.

It is comparable to the rare enchantment spell effect, but the cost is only a few silver coins. Even if it is strengthened 12 times, it will only cost less than 10 gold coins in total.

When the time comes, he will tell his father about the weapons and the matter.

Doesn’t this show his foresight?
Watching Mullen raise the forging hammer high and smash it down, Petwin was filled with anticipation.

"boom!"

The hammer head collided with the sword, making a loud noise, and a scene appeared that made Petwin feel bad:
No familiar light flashed.

But it was thick gray-black smoke!

Moreover, along with the smoke, dense cracks began to appear quickly on the sword, until with a "bang", the entire blade exploded.

Pete Twain was dumbfounded.

Staring blankly at the "+3 weapon" that had turned into pieces on the ground, his mind went blank. Maren put down the forging hammer and couldn't help but sighed in regret.

"Oh, what a pity."

"Unfortunately, Mr. Tostin, the fourth enhancement failed."

"Also, I need to tell you one thing."

"After the weapon has completed +3, if you then apply the [Equipment Enhancement] spell to it, if it fails, the destructive force generated by the break in balance will not only completely dissipate the original enhancement effect, but will also cause the weapon itself to be damaged."

Petunia hesitated for a long time: "...So what?"

"So I'm sorry, you're out of weapons."

"This is the same as the previous time when your enhancement failed. This is a normal phenomenon caused by the magic not taking effect. It is not our store's fault, so we cannot provide you with a refund."

After Ma Lun apologized, he continued to promote the product in a familiar manner: "But please rest assured, considering that you are a big customer of our store's customized equipment, I have specially prepared a backup plan for you!"

"Please wait!"

After saying that, Maren turned around and went into the storeroom behind the blacksmith shop, and quickly found out an identical sword!

The same mahogany hilt, the same sharp blade, and the same crystal clear gems inlaid.

"Your order cost 3 gold and 47 silver at the time, and this is the same product that meets your requirements."

"Although the last weapon unfortunately broke and was damaged due to a failed enhancement, as the old saying goes, broken things bring peace, and broken things will definitely bring you extra good luck."

"For this same weapon, I'll give you a smaller amount for it. I'll just charge you 3 gold and 40 silver!"

"Mr. Tostin, what do you think?"

What else could Pete Twain say.

Fortunately, he thought that this casting magic was cost-effective, and it only cost a few dozen silver coins to enhance it.

It was indeed very cheap, but he had never expected that it would break if the strengthening failed!
The weapon was broken, which meant that the more than three gold coins he had spent before, as well as the money he had spent on several enhancements, were all wasted!
The cost suddenly skyrocketed to nearly 5 gold!
Although her heart was bleeding, Petun could only nod dejectedly and accept Mullen's proposal.

He took out three gold coins from his purse and handed them to Maren.

Can he say he doesn't want it?
Definitely not!

When he sneaked out this time, he brought this weapon with him.

Now this weapon is gone.

Considering that he had already signed a mercenary contract with the team called "Deep Blue", he had to go with them to the Dark Forest to hunt monsters early the next morning.

If he doesn’t even have a weapon, how can he destroy the monsters?

Tear it with your hands?
Taking over the equally new and gorgeous long sword, Petunia became more and more angry.

He just had a "Guangwu" weapon that could emit a faint white light, but its power was far inferior to the one in his hand now.

He really couldn't stand this gap!

Pete Twain considered it.

The cost of the first three enhancements is not expensive, and according to Maren, it is only from the fourth enhancement onwards that the weapon may be broken due to the destruction of balance.

In the first three times, even if you fail, the strengthening effect will only be reset to zero.

Doesn’t that mean he can spend money to get the first three enhancements?

Pete Twain couldn't help it.

He took out a golden gold coin from the Reyak Kingdom from his purse and threw it to Maren.

"Strengthen this weapon for me, too!"

"But don't try to upgrade it to +4 for now, just upgrade it to +3!"

There will be 3 more chapters later, and we will be entering the main storyline of the third volume.
