After leaving the team, the adventurer ladies regretted it deeply

```

The most eye-catching item in the pile was the Epic Weapon, the Sword of Royalty.

Its blade shimmered like pristine moonlight, with the glow of magic circulating on it.

The sharp edge sparkled with a cold light, as if it could cleave through anything.

In the middle of the hilt was a round and smooth ruby.

When Lin Da touched it, a surge of fiery power flowed into his body and connected with his magic circuit.

He slowly drew the Sword of Royalty and held it up high.

The magical runes engraved on the blade lit up one after another, and the Sword of Royalty shone brilliantly.

The majesty of this sword was several times stronger than that of the Azure Sword.

Lin Da swung it in the air effortlessly, without using any power.

But when the Sword of Royalty struck the pile of Gold Coins among the spoils, it was like a knife cutting through a beautiful girl's black silk, effortlessly slicing it apart.

The process was smooth, and Lin Da felt no resistance in his hand.

The sharpness of the Sword of Royalty was truly impressive!

"What a great sword."

Lin Da smiled with satisfaction.

In front of him, a property panel that only he could see appeared out of thin air.

[Name: Sword of Royalty]

[Type: Equipment-Main Weapon]

[Quality: Epic Level (Two Stars)]

[Level: 25]

[Attribute Points: Strength+1200, Fire Damage+10%]

[Equipment Score: 1923. A sword cherished by a certain warrior, and for some reason, it ended up in the hands of the Goblin Prince. The cold light flowing on the blade speaks of its sharpness, and even the foolish Goblin could see its extraordinariness.]

1200 points of strength were worthy of an epic quality.

With the Sword of Royalty, Lin Da's Dual Attack broke through the 3000 mark, reaching 3603.

After he maxed out the Venom Magic Sphere, the conditions for 'killing the 9th level's hidden Magical Creature in 10 seconds' were within reach.

"Lin Da, let me have a look at your sword."

A voice filled with envy reached them.

Lia had been eyeing Lin Da's Sword of Royalty for quite some time.

She was itching to touch it, feeling that she wouldn't be able to sleep for days if she didn't.

"Just a peek."

Lin Da handed over the Sword of Royalty.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Lia held it in her arms, feeling the powerful force within. Not only did this not satisfy her craving to handle it, but it made her feel even more envious.

"That's enough." Seeing that Lia had no intention of letting go, Lulu firmly grabbed the hilt, took it back, and gave it to Lin Da.

"What are you doing? I haven't finished looking!" Lia exclaimed, reaching out to snatch it back.

Lulu sneered, "Keep looking and it still won't be yours. Keep away from our Phoenix Tail Flower's equipment!"

"You... fine then, you're so stingy, not even letting me have a look?"

Lia gritted her teeth, "Give it here, I don't even want to look anymore. Epic-level Equipment, I'll get my own someday!"

"Let's hope so," Lulu replied indifferently.

Of all the members in the Snow Goose Adventure Team, Lulu liked Lia the least.

Lia was immature and always trying to get close to Lin Da.

Lulu was worried Lin Da might soften and end up giving equipment to Lia for free.

Lin Da put the Sword of Royalty into his Space Ring, ending the dispute.

He then turned his attention to the second piece of Epic Equipment.

[Name: Agile Silver Ring]

[Type: Equipment-Helmet]

[Quality: Epic Level (Two Stars)]

[Level: 25]

[Attribute Points: Agility+100, Defense+100, Attack Speed+30%]

[Equipment Score: 1955. Its elegant form contains a savage power. How it ended up in the collection of the Goblin Prince is unknown.]

"A piece of functional equipment?"

Lin Da was surprised to think.

An increase of 30% in Attack Speed, surely it was not meant for Mages.

It also wasn't a great fit for him.

```

The warrior gained the most in terms of attack speed increase.

Additionally, with agility 100 and defense 100, it significantly improved survivability.

Wearing this equipment, along with his Verdant Shield, could make a glass-cannon warrior turn into a semi-tank.

After a moment of thought, Lin Da placed the agility-increasing Silver Ring on Lulu's head.

"Huh?" Lulu was startled, not quite understanding Lin Da's intentions.

"The person it suits best is you."

Lin Da smiled, "Take it."

Lulu looked at him for a moment, then nodded her little head vigorously, "I understand."

Under all eyes, Lulu connected the Silver Ring to her magic circuit.

This piece of Epic Equipment officially became Lulu's.

The two girls from other teams looked on enviously once more.

To be willing to give team members Epic Equipment.

Such a generous team leader was rare.

Granted, the Silver Ring wasn't the best match for Lin Da, but using it himself wouldn't be a problem either, it was a notch above Orange Equipment.

However, Lin Da was considering the overall combat strength of the team.

With Lulu wearing the Silver Ring, her output could increase by around 15%.

Furthermore, via the team's panel in the system, Lin Da learned that Lulu had reached level 29.

Just a bit more, and she could advance to Star-ranked adventurer status.

Facing the threat of the Specter, Lin Da's side not having a Star Rank was always at a disadvantage.

He decided that tonight, he would use diamonds to help Lulu take that last step!

Only with a Star-ranked adventurer would the Phoenix Tail Flower have the confidence to face the Specter.

Lin Da himself had also reached level 25.

Teamed with the Death Crab Pincer, he could deal true damage to any life form not more than 10 levels above him.

Even when facing Hulus, Lin Da could fight relying on the Death Crab Pincer.

Looking at the three robed corpses inside the cave, a surge of killing intent bubbled up in Lin Da's heart.

For the time being, he had no power to utterly destroy the Specter Adventure Group.

Yet, he didn't mind taking a piece of flesh from Specter first.

Lin Da's thoughts raced: the three assassins in black robes bore no evidence to prove their Specter origin; only he and Hulus knew the truth for certain.

First, he needed to make this matter public. With some luck, if they could find evidence that the black-robed individuals were from Specter, Lin Da could use the Imperial Knights to sanction Hulus.

Even if luck wasn't on his side, letting everyone know about the conflict between Phoenix Tail Flower and Specter would mean that any similar incidents that disadvantaged Phoenix Tail Flower would immediately cast suspicion on Specter.

Hulus, for fear of damaging his own group, would likely be wary of taking any reckless actions.

In this time, it would be enough for all members of the Phoenix Tail Flower to reach Star Rank.

Lin Da coldly thought that when Specter sent the assassins, the conflict between them had become irreconcilable.

There was only one path before him: destroy the Specter Adventure Group or be destroyed.

Lin Da's gaze returned to the small mountain of spoils of war.

The two pieces of Epic Equipment stood out; all other equipment seemed dull in comparison.

After counting, they acquired more specifics.

This time, the Phoenix Tail Flower gained:

2 pieces of Epic Equipment.

4 pieces of Orange Equipment.

7 pieces of Purple Equipment.

An estimated pile of over 150,000 Gold Coins.

The two pieces of Epic Equipment and two of the Orange Equipment would be used by Phoenix Tail Flower.

The other two would be paid as compensation to Isa and Lia.

The rest, Lin Da planned to sell.

He considered buying some Fruit of the World Tree to see if they could yield any Golden Skill Points.

To raise skills to full level, Golden Skill Points were indispensable.

Relying on natural progression alone simply wasn't sufficient.

But whether or not eating Fruit of the World Tree could yield them was down to luck.

All the spoils of war were meticulously collected.

Lin Da then brewed over his plans against the Specter.

A glint of cold light flashed in his eyes as he took out the sensor ladybug, ready to resume broadcasting the strategy.
