After leaving the team, the adventurer ladies regretted it deeply Chapter 274

Chapter 274: 242. Two pieces of Epic Equipment, Lia is envious and asks for the Sword of Royalty.

Before the hunt began, Lin Da had prepared for the worst.

Even if he didn't get any epic equipment, he wouldn't be discouraged.

But whether it was his good luck or the skill “Blessing of the World Tree Goddess” that had taken effect,

he actually burst out two pieces at once…

It was enough to make Black Hair Orcs weep and even the fair-skinned noble ladies cover their mouths in amazement.

In the market, the most ordinary Star Rank epic equipment was worth 3 million Gold Coins.

At the very least, these two would be worth 6 million!

Lin Da felt very bewildered.

His mental expectation was to burst out four pieces of orange equipment and not be at a loss.

The main goals were to gain team experience and to get the Diamond for the last hit on the Goblin Prince.

Not only had he achieved all these guaranteed targets,

but he had also obtained two pieces of Epic-level Equipment!

Lin Da thought to himself that it was fortunate he hadn't live-streamed, or how many people would be green with envy?

Those adventurers with dark faces, the 'Unlucky' ones, would probably be provoked by his royal luck to the point of contemplating life!

It was like everyone else had to spend 10 times 648 in the Card Pool to pull out good equipment, but he nearly always got it in a single draw.

Once or twice is one thing, but every time…

Lin Da could only say that the “Blessing of the World Tree Goddess” was terrifying indeed!

Seeing the pile of equipment, both Lulu and Monica smiled.

The timid Big Lolita grinned with a sunny, joyful smile, knowing Lin Da would reward her with a new limited edition Magic Puppet.

And when Lulu saw Lin Da happy, her mood also improved.

However, joy and sorrow do not always translate from one person to another.

Lia's mouth was brimming with sourness, as if she had eaten five lemons raw.

“Epic-level equipment, you have to give me one, right? I contributed too!”

Lia's eyes were fixed on the sword sticking out of the Mountain of Gold Coins.

It was none other than the same model used by the Goblin Prince, the “Sword of Royalty” that had put immense pressure on everyone!

If she got the Sword of Royalty, Lia was confident she could break through the 14th level within a month and become a Star-ranked adventurer.

When Lin Da and the others heard Lia's shameless words, they were somewhat astonished.

The contract content with Phoenix Tail Flower and Lia was very clear.

Pay Lia 200,000 Gold Coins, plus one level 20 starter orange equipment.

If Epic-level Equipment burst out, then an additional 100,000 Gold Coins.

A contract in black and white.

Lin Da didn't know just how thick Lia's skin was to demand Epic-level Equipment.

Sometimes, he even wanted to pick her up and give her a thrashing on her lower back, underneath her black tights, just like he would to Chloe.

Lia's young lady temperament was just too foul!

Another adventurer they had hired, Isa, was envious and also wanted the Sword of Royalty.

But Isa's manners were far superior to Lia's.

This silver-haired Swordsman girl, with a smile on her face, said, “Lin Da, congratulations, with two pieces of Epic-level Equipment, Phoenix Tail Flower's combat capability will increase significantly. Ice Flower needs to hurry and strategize, or else she might get caught up by you, haha.”

“Not at all, Isa, you're also nearing level 30, soon to become a Star-ranked adventurer worthy of my admiration,” Lin Da joked.

The two of them exchanged words,

Completely sidelining Lia.

Lia's face turned red, and she pointed at the Sword of Royalty, “Lin Da, did you hear me? Give it to me, please? If not, I'll just borrow it, and after I pass level 14, I'll return it to you.”

“Borrow? I'm afraid it would be a case of 'gone and never returned,'” Lin Da shook his head.

“No, I really will return it to you, really!”

Lia said loudly.

She couldn't bear to give up the Sword of Royalty.

As a pure output Swordsman, this piece of equipment could greatly enhance her abilities.

With the Sword of Royalty, what Isa, Lulu–or anyone for that matter–were no match for her.

She could even break through Lin Da's turtle shell.

Just as Lia was daydreaming and hoping.

“Stop thinking about that; I won't lend it to you,”

Lin Da said with a firm tone, “Lia, you know that once magical equipment is connected with the user's magic circuit, even if it's disconnected, at least a year must pass before a second person can use it. Look at this long sword I'm using now; it's only level 15, and I've needed to change my main weapon for a while.”

“Main weapons are expensive, you need one, and so do I.”

“So, there's no way I could lend it to you.”

Lia felt her cheeks go pale, and her toes twisted frantically inside her boots, embarrassed enough to curl into a ball.

Lin Da refused her outright, without giving any favors, and wouldn't even consider lending it!

“Stingy ghost.”

“You would have given it to me in the past,”

Lia tilted her little head and muttered resentfully.

Lin Da sighed helplessly.

One must do what one's position entails.

When he was serving as Lia's support, his concern was how to enhance Snow Goose's combat power.

If he obtained an epic-level long sword, he naturally would have handed it to Lia.

But now, he was the captain of the Phoenix Tail Flower Team.

Lending the equipment to Lia would mean turning his back on his own teammates, who would all feel dissatisfaction.

Lin Da noticed that when Lia brought up borrowing the Sword of Royalty, Lulu's face immediately turned dark.

It only returned to normal after he said he wouldn't lend it.

Compared to Lia, an adventurer from another team, Lin Da cared more about his own teammates.

He comforted Lulu, “Don't worry, I won't give this sword to anyone else.”

“Mhm.” Lulu's expression softened as she spoke softly, “Let's go check the battle spoils.”

Lin Da nodded and walked toward the little mountain of Gold Coins.

Lulu followed him.

Monica also walked up, holding her magic wand.

The two female adventurers from outside teams hesitated briefly, but Isa chose to stay put to avoid suspicion.

That pile was Phoenix Tail Flower's property.

Lia didn't think too much into it.

Driven by pure curiosity, she walked up to take a look.

She didn't consider herself an outsider at all.

Watching the scene of Lia and the others walking side by side, Isa's gaze was filled with complexity.

If she had even a tenth of Lia's courage, maybe she could be walking by Lin Da's side as well.

The real purpose for Isa joining the battle wasn't to kill an epic demon creature.

She just wanted to see Lin Da's embarrassing side.

To realize that Lin Da wasn't a perfect adventurer and that he made tall claims, tricking her into joining the battle.

This way, Isa could willingly let go of Lin Da and continue her adventurous life.

But what Isa saw was the exact opposite of what she had thought.

In the battle against the Goblin Prince, Lin Da demonstrated expert command, always issuing precise orders.

When to move forward, when to retreat–Isa didn't need to think, just follow Lin Da's lead.

Besides, the security provided by the Double Shields was mesmerizing.

Being a Frost Swordsman was not exactly a profession known for robustness, but with Lin Da's Double Shields, Isa was able to let loose for the first time, maximizing her output.

Previously, she had to worry about attacks from magical creatures and keep half her attention on evasion.

But the moment Lin Da's Double Shields were up, Isa felt as if she was wearing armor with extraordinary defensive power, yet as light as air.

The ferocious attacks from the creatures became less frightening.

When the Sword of Royalty charged at her, Isa could counter with her Light Shield and strike back with an “Ice Spike Strike.”

Any offensive profession, once shielded by Lin Da, would be captivated.

Isa, who originally harbored thoughts of giving up, suddenly found herself undecided once again.

Even more so, the thought of wanting to be by Lin Da's side sprung up!

At this moment, Lin Da's attention was captivated by the spoils of war, and he did not notice Isa's turmoil.
