Chapter 357: Dark Demon Going All Out and Raking It All In

Since the war ended, the currency of the had completely disappeared from the market.

Most of the people had collected at home merely served as spoils of war.

But there were actually two kinds of demon currency—one was the normal metal currency with a serial number printed on it, and the other was the magic crystal currency branded with only the demon king's head!

The value of the (魔晶币) was of course much higher than that of ordinary metal coins.

Furthermore, the magic crystal coins in this dungeon had an extremely high historical value.

and Emma had studied about and were very interested in this.

But the rest of the young magisters were more hoping to find some magic items in the treasure chest.

As most people showed disappointed expressions, Sara and Emma quickly stepped forward. They each picked out a magic crystal coin from the treasure chest and examined it carefully.

"How about I go search and see if there's any other treasure chests?"

The chubby looked around and offered.

"Let's go!"

waved his hand and excitedly took the lead.

Once the two of them left, the atmosphere became much quieter again.

Probing her way towards the treasure chest, reached out to grab a handful of the magic crystal coins, but she was lightly smacked by Emma, likely to tell her to take it easier.

But Dianna didn't care and simply plunged her hand into the pile of magic crystal coins. After digging deeper, she actually pulled out an !

The horn was the size of two palms put together. It was incomparable to the horn of the two-headed demonic being, but it had a lustrous jade-like feel and a milky white rounded tip, which made people feel rather fond upon looking at it.

Dianna was immediately delighted. "Look at what I found!"

She held up the ox horn and proudly showed it off to Dark.

After Dark saw the horn, the regret he felt due to the pulverization of the two-headed demonic being finally dissipated a little.

At last a material was dropped, although it was in the form of a treasure chest.

He said in a low voice, "Maybe there's something else in the treasure chest?"

When Emma and Sara heard this, they turned their heads and looked at each other, a flicker of spark igniting as their eyes met. Then, they dug in their hands at the same time.

As a result, Emma came up empty-handed, whereas Sara broke into a smug smile. She found another thing from the treasure chest—a bracelet strung from six fangs!

"Since there's a bull head and a lion head, these should be the fangs of the lion, right?"

Saying so, Sara injected her magic energy in an attempt to activate it.

But the bracelet was really just six fangs simply strung up together and not a magic item.

"In that case," she turned to look at the others and asked, "let's divide these six fangs into three parts, two for each team, what do you think?"

The Noble House girl in Doron's team responded, "I don't mind."

Sara nodded and said, "It's fine if you agree. Then, the ox horn Dianna found will be given to Dark's team. There are four people in their team and they contributed the most, so it shouldn't be a problem to distribute it like this. As for this box of magic crystal coins, let's divide it evenly among everyone."

Dark lightly smiled, expressing that he had no objection.

Sara’s distribution proposal was exactly what he had in mind.

But there was another loot in this hall.

He candidly asked, "Then can I take the weapon of the two-headed demonic being?"

Sara gave him a sweet smile: "That's how it should be. I think Doron will also have no objection."

Just as she said that, cheers suddenly broke out over on Doron's side.

"Is there another treasure chest?"

Dark reflexively turned his head and saw that in another corner of the hall, Doron and Pistein were working together to drag out an old treasure chest.

Without even needing the help of a magical spirit, the two simply gave a hard tug and yanked off the corroded latch.

Doron triumphantly inserted his fingers into the gap of the treasure chest and hastily lifted the lid.

The two people who hadn't learned from the previous lesson were once again greeted by a faceful of dust.

But this couldn't hamper their excitement.

This treasure chest was also impressively filled with magic crystal coins!

Following the girls' example, Doron plunged his hand into the pile of coins, but after rummaging for a long time, he only fished out a single stone.

"What's this?"

As he looked at the strangely shaped stone in his hand, Doron's expression turned into one of confusion.

Pistein leaned over and stared at it for a long time, but his face was similarly full of bewilderment.

With their knowledge base, it was obvious that they were totally unable to analyze the origin of this stone.

Pistein suggested: "Let's ask Sara."

Doron: "Yes."

And thus, the two ran back just as excitedly.

……

"They're so energetic," Dark internally sighed.

The stone Doron found had a very strange shape.

It looked like large and small cubes melted together and had a metallic texture, yet it wasn't at all hard. On the contrary, it had a sort of gelatinous soft touch that exuded a unique warmth, as if... it was alive!

Although Dark had a vague guess, he couldn't determine it just yet. So he also looked at Sara, who knew more about this aspect.

Sara injected her magic energy to examine it. After quite a while, she exclaimed with marvel, "If my judgment is correct, this should be a (活体金属). I didn't expect that such a rare ore could actually be found inside the treasure chest in this dungeon."

As her heart stirred, Emma asked, "Living metal… is it a living ore?"

Sara glanced at her approvingly and answered, "That's another name for it. Living metal is a kind of quasi-lifeform, an existence between a living creature and metal. It's the main material for making (秘偶)."

Doron asked: "What's a Marionette?"

Sara eloquently explained, "Marionettes can be regarded as a type of , but they're more refined than ordinary golems and are also more human-like. They have soft skin and smooth joints, and their veins are flowing with expensive potions. They can metabolize like humans, and they also possess intelligence that's higher than ordinary golems. Their intelligence level is about 3.0-3.5. They can learn some simple knowledge and express some simple emotions. Unless you deliberately observe them, you can hardly tell the difference between Marionettes and humans."

"There's actually such a thing? Why have I never heard of it?" Doron couldn't help asking in surprise.

Sara casually replied, "Marionettes are the entry-level work of master alchemists. In other words, only alchemists at the master level can craft a qualified Marionette. Moreover, the main material for crafting Marionettes—living metal—is a specialty of the demon race. In today's era, the prerequisites for making a Marionette can no longer be fulfilled."

It was only natural that you hadn’t heard of it.

"Master alchemist..."

The chubby Pistein suddenly clasped his fist with his palm. "Then, if we give this living metal to , will we get extra points?"

Doron's eyes instantly lit up. He excitedly cried, "Pistein, that's a really good idea!"

"What nonsense!" Sara contemptuously balked, "What can you make with such a small piece of living metal? A three-inch puppet?"

"Three-inch puppet..."

But Sara's jibe instead gave Dark an idea. He pondered in his mind: "If I use this living metal to craft an armor... Of course, there's also the option of using it to craft a ."

"How about this," Dark came to a decision and offered, "If you give me this piece of living metal, I'll pay you guys with points. How about one thousand per person?"
