Ringo continued to remove the materials, and when Bradd saw the storm rose, he became very curious, picking it up and studying it intently.
-Where did you get this from? It has strong natural properties, strong vitality, and a great affinity with wind, water, and earth.- Bradd asked, handling the rose carefully. Although it looked like an ordinary rose, its texture was clearly stone, making its "swaying in the wind" movement even stranger.
-I found it, I named it Storm Rose.- Ringo lied casually.
Fortunately, Bradd only found that curious, there were countless materials in the galaxy, and finding a new one is actually very common.
-Storm rose... it really does look like I'm holding back a storm.- Bradd nodded, then turned to look at Ringo. -I imagine you want this thing made like an arch with that piece of white wood.
-Exactly.- Ringo agreed.
-A little incompatible, but nothing magic can't solve. Do you want it to be a weapon with a soul as well? In that case, you'll need a compatible soul.- Bradd said.
Ringo was curious, he had already seen some good things with Bradd, especially the souls. He thought for a moment and spoke. -Do you have any to sell?
Bradd paused for a moment, scratching his beard with a difficult look. Finally, he sighed. He still hadn't decided, but helping Ringo now, if he really did become Ames's subordinate, would be very useful.
In truth, Bradd was almost certain he would accept, but he didn't want to make that kind of life-changing decision casually.
-I have some souls, including some compatible with the Volcanic Dragon Heart and the Lich Phylactery, but I don't recommend putting a soul in the Lich Phylactery. It's very likely the armor will run away immediately, it wouldn't be any different than creating a real Lich.- Bradd said. -Even so, I recommend that their armors have souls. If they are alone, using the Grade A armor's power is difficult, but with a soul helping, the power drawn will be much greater.
He waved his hand, and several crystals containing souls appeared on Bradd's old wooden workbench, all good things he had hidden away, likely used in his research.
Ringo listened to Bradd introducing everything, but as he watched, Hila stepped forward and picked up a grey crystal, the shape of a black bird flying inside could be seen.
Hila's red energy seemed to emanate on its own, a strange scream that seemed to affect the soul was heard by those present, Hila's eyes glowed.
Bradd seemed surprised watching the event, looking Hila up and down with his bright eyes. -Interesting... this soul seems very compatible with yours, perhaps... perhaps it's possible.
Ringo looked at the soul crystal with curiosity and turned to Bradd, asking, -What kind of soul is this?
-A End Bird, one of the best materials in my collection, in its adult form can reach the power of a Grade S, but unfortunately this End Bird was young and only has the strength of a Grade A.- Bradd said sadly. -These birds are considered harbingers of death, their arrival usually means that a large number of deaths will follow. They like to eat the miasma generated by scattered souls.
Ringo nodded, this thing was really compatible with Hila. Hila finally came to her senses, looking a little embarrassed at Ringo, she clenched her fists, she didn't like owing anything to anyone, hearing Bradd's introduction, she knew this was very expensive.
-You don't need to use that, he said my armor would have problems if it used souls.- Hila shook her head, releasing the crystal, but they seemed to hear the cry again, as if the bird was calling for Hila to pick it up again.
This made Hila freeze, but her pride won out, she looked away, pretending she didn't want to.
Ringo laughed, he knew that even with a Lich Phylactery, that End Bird would most likely still hear Hila.
-Use it.- Ringo told Bradd, who nodded without caring, in any case, he would still sell it to Ringo, and the amount he would get from it wouldn't be small.
Hila opened her mouth to refuse, but Ringo was already discussing the other souls with Bradd. Hila seemed anxious for a moment, turning her gaze to the Soul Crystal and sensing its proximity, she sighed.
In the end, she owed Ringo even more. When could she pay him back?
