Apocalypse Descent: Farming with My Harem

Chapter 1048: Chapter 378: The Queen of the Fallen Country’s Concerns, the Wizard’s Secret

In the reluctant gaze of these four con artists, they were carried away by the soldiers, leaving the tavern.

Soon, the tavern quieted down.

"Next, it’s time to check the loot in the backpack."

Because the backpacks of these natives do not have a stacking function.

Cao Xing needed to take everything out first and organize it.

He unceremoniously transferred all the contents into his own backpack.

[Obtained: Crowns * 3.72 million...]

[Obtained: Dry Food * 1742]

[Obtained book: The Art of Language]

[Obtained book: The Actor’s Self-Cultivation]

[Obtained: Swamp Witch’s Medicine Mashing Stick (Gold)]

[Obtained: Swamp Witch’s Frog Potion Recipe (Gold)]

[Obtained: Noble Clothing * 4]

[Obtained: Aesfis King’s Crown Robe (Purple)]

[Obtained: Aesfis King’s Crown (Gold)]

...

"Haha, over three million crowns and three golden items!"

Cao Xing felt a surge of joy in his heart.

Among them, the most special are naturally the medicine mashing stick and the potion recipe.

In the next moment, a rod appeared in Cao Xing’s hand, entirely pitch-black and emitting a strange, ethereal glow.

It exuded a strong herbal scent mixed with a foul smell.

It seemed that this stick had once mashed plenty of unfortunate souls’ blood and herbs.

He glanced at the attributes.

[Swamp Witch’s Medicine Mashing Stick (Gold)]

[Quality: Treasure]

[Equipment Level: Level 40]

[Equipment Type: Special]

[Attack Power: 0~1]

[Attached Effect 1: Demon Potion Enhancement (Increases success rate by 20% when crafting potions)]

[Attached Effect 2: Evil Degeneration (Releases the evil power contained within the mashing stick, causing enemy creatures within a 10*10 meter range to degenerate by one potential level, with the commander degenerating to leader, and the leader degenerating to boss, etc., applicable to creatures up to Level 60, duration 20 seconds, cooling time: 5 minutes)]

(Note: If the enemy creature’s potential is ordinary, it reduces their attributes by 20% instead)

(Equipment Introduction: It was once a tool for the Swamp Witch to brew dark magic potions, crafted from twisted black wood and a magic crystal that shimmers with eerie light...)

...

"Oh? This second effect, Evil Degeneration, is quite intriguing!"

Cao Xing chuckled: "Especially when dealing with those commander-level creatures, the effect is outstanding; it can directly disable their new skills."

"Of course, the duration is a bit short."

"But anyway, it’s an item that can play a key role at critical moments."

He stored the stick back into his backpack.

In his hand appeared a recipe.

[Swamp Witch’s Frog Potion Recipe (Gold)]

[Quality: Treasure]

[Potion Effect: Throws a potion at the enemy, turning them into a non-attacking frog upon impact, duration 10 seconds, cooling time 30 seconds]

(Note: This potion effect applies to enemies up to Level 80 and is affected by anomaly resistance.)

[Materials Required for Crafting: Advanced Alchemy Workshop, Advanced Poison Skill Mastery, Glass Bottle, Swamp Toad, Dark Moss.]

...

"Turning into a frog, this effect is quite disgusting..."

"However, if used against an enemy, the more disgusting, the better."

"Just right, Sabina has an Advanced Poison Skill Mastery, she can use this potion recipe for crafting."

Cao Xing thought with amusement.

Of course, to craft this potion, two peculiar materials are needed: Swamp Toad and Dark Moss.

These items can only be obtained by trying to find a way in the market.

Besides that,

these con artists’ backpacks contained more than just these two items.

In the next moment, Cao Xing pulled out a magnificent crown robe and a golden crown.

This crown robe, with a deep and luxurious purple as the main color, had intricate and exquisite patterns embroidered with golden thread along the robe’s edges.

The collar was raised high, embedded with dazzling gemstones, and the shoulders were broad and stiff, adorned with luxurious golden pauldrons.

This crown robe exuded an air of authority and mystical quality.

As for the other crown, it was crafted from pure gold, with delicate and heavy gold texture, every line meticulously carved, smooth and elegant.

After glancing at the attributes, Cao Xing exclaimed: "This set of crowns has no attributes, but it does add 30 points of charm."

"The crown also adds 50 points of charm."

"It seems these are authentic!"

These items are very valuable, and there will definitely be many nobles and royal family members willing to pay a high price for them.

The backpacks of these four con artists brought quite a decent haul.

Cao Xing nodded in satisfaction.

Then, he looked at the messy tables and chairs in the tavern and instructed: "Rach, clean up this place, I’m leaving for now."

Fifteen-year-old Rach respectfully replied: "Rest assured, honorable Lord, I will clean it up well."

Cao Xing nodded slightly, left the tavern with a cheerful mood.

"Not bad, not bad... didn’t expect con artists to deliver money to me willingly."

"Now, let’s go check on those four griffins captured during the day."

Then, he made his way directly to the fourth ring area of the territory.

There were several huge iron cages, naturally containing those four Gale Griffins.

Nearby, a few Imperial soldiers clad in war armor were guarding.

"Caw—Caw—"

From afar, the angry screeches of the Gale Griffins could be heard.

They were furiously ramming the iron cages, producing a series of dull sounds.

However, these griffin cages were meticulously crafted by Harold, made with a significant amount of Mithril and Constant Gold, more than enough to contain these powerful creatures.
