Transmigration To Magus World-Chapter 71: The Black Fiend Gloves

Aizen couldn’t provide an answer to Viggo’s question, and Viggo only asked casually without pressing further.

Instead, he began to introduce the current situation in Triesenberg City and informed Aizen of some tasks that would require his cooperation in the coming days.

On the surface, this senior brother Viggo appeared easygoing and unpretentious, not resembling a person of the demonic path.

However, Aizen knew well that the more unassuming someone like him appeared, the more dangerous they truly were.

It was not by chance that Viggo had held his ground in Treisenberg city for so long.

Under Viggo’s arrangements, Aizen stayed at a place called the "Diamond Inn."

This was the largest inn in Triesenberg City and the most famous one in the northeastern region.

The underworld has its own rules, just as the orthodox side has its laws.

For most people, the Diamond Inn, an establishment owned by the Heavenly Demon Clan, was known to be the most "disciplined" inn.

Staying there, one would feel "relatively" safe, "relatively" at ease, and "absolutely" comfortable.

It might seem laughable to some, but the infamous Heavenly demon Clan, known for its ruthless and unrestrained nature, had somehow become a defender of order here.

But this was the truth.

In the northeastern region, the words of the government might not hold much sway, but the orders of the Heavenly Demon Clan were absolute.

Viggo mentioned that tomorrow, more outer disciples would arrive here for a group action, and he instructed Aizen to stay inside the inn for the next few days and avoid wandering outside. Although Viggo did not reveal the specific details of the group action, Aizen could make an educated guess: it was most likely in preparation for the arrival of the disciples from the Seven Sword Clan.

The Seven Sword Clan wasn’t the only orthodox Clan, but it was the most famous.

While none of these seven factions alone could rival the Heavenly Demon Clan, together they could suppress it.

This time, the disciples of the Seven Sword Clan were gathering in Triesenberg City, joining forces with the disciples of other prominent families to pressure the Heavenly Demon Clan and seek a share of the resources in the Triesenberg Treasury.

Marco Crowley, who had been part of this orthodox alliance, had already been killed by Aizen. For a group of orthodox disciples to parade arrogantly in Triesenberg Clan’s territory was both unusual and dangerous.

However, this practice had been a tradition for some time.

Although Treisenberg City was within the Heavenly Demon Clan’s northeastern territory, it still belonged to the Skywind Dynasty.

The Heavenly demon Clan had significant influence here, but not to the point where they could overpower the government entirely.

Currently, the city lord of Triesenberg, Morning star Magus, was not an easy man to deal with. Due to the government’s control, even as the underground rulers of the northeast, the Heavenly demon Clan had to be cautious not to stir up too much bloodshed within the city.

As a result, if they wanted to prevent the orthodox disciples from entering Triesenberg City, they would have to stop them outside the city.

For the people of the demonic Clan, the most direct means of stopping someone was by killing them.

If the Seven Sword Clan disciples could break through the ambush set by the Heavenly demon Clan and enter Triesenberg City, then the competition would be over, and the Triesenberg Treasury would be shared by all.

Inside the city, both the orthodox and demonic factions had to abide by the city’s laws and respect the authority of the formidable Morning star Magus.

Otherwise, no one would be able to access the resources in the Triesenberg Treasury. Hence, Triesenberg had long been a place of conflict, attracting many Sorcery artists.

However, each time this conflict erupted, the disciples of the Seven Sword Clan suffered numerous casualties.

In Heavenly Demon clan’s territory, breaking through the defenses set by the disciples of the demonic path to enter Triesenberg City was no easy task.

As such, the Seven Sword Clan would often join forces with other Clans and even powerful families, promising shared resources and united efforts, thereby forming a small alliance to challenge the disciples of the demonic path.

Both the Heavenly demon Clan and the Seven Sword Clan took these clashes seriously, though higher-ranking members seldom intervened, adopting a tacit approval of the confrontations. Battles train warriors, and swords need to be sharpened.

The opening of the Triesenberg Treasury was also a time for both the Seven Sword Clan and Heavenly demon Clan to hone their disciples.

It was also during such times that young heroes could make a name for themselves in a single battle.

Inside his upper-class room at the Diamond Inn, Aizen’s mind had already entered the Wisdom Mall.

Since the Wisdom Mall had opened, he had only spent two thousand task points to exchange for a Curtana Sword and hadn’t bought anything else.

However, he would always take a look whenever the store refreshed, in case there were rare treasures he wanted to acquire.

Now that noon had passed, the items in the Wisdom Mall had refreshed.

Naturally, he took a glance at the new offerings.

It was still two rows of five items.

The first item was a Minor Rejuvenation Pill, the second was a seventh-tier hammer technique, and the third item was a pair of black, metal-like gloves.

Aizen’s gaze paused briefly on the gloves, then moved to the next item—a Great Rejuvenation Pill, priced at six hundred Wisdom Coins, or six thousand task points.

The price was steep, but Aizen knew it was a bargain.

The Great Rejuvenation Pill, which could increase one’s internal power by ten years with a single dose, was invaluable and rarely sold by Way of the Warrior Temple.

However, for Aizen, who had mastered the Great Absorption Technique, the Great Rejuvenation Pill seemed less useful, so he chose not to buy it.

The fifth item was a set of secret needles called the Soul-Locking Needles, priced at one hundred Wisdom Coins.

Aizen , intrigued, spent one thousand task points to convert them into Wisdom Coins and purchased the Soul-Locking Needles.

The Soul-Locking Needles were a formidable weapon; even a late-stage Sorcery artist would be seriously injured or killed if struck.

Given the impending confrontations with orthodox disciples, Aizen was intent on securing a trump card.

The Soul-Locking Needles might not threaten someone as powerful as Elder Mustang, who could sense danger almost instinctively and dodge accordingly.

But for slightly weaker opponents, they could create opportunities by catching them off guard.

After buying the Soul-Locking Needles, Aizen glanced at his remaining five thousand seven hundred task points, and his attention returned to the black metal gloves.

"Sixth-rate Black Fiend Gloves:

Once worn, these gloves make your hands invincible, capable of withstanding any sixth-rate

weapon or lower.

Cost: three hundred and twenty Wisdom Coins."

Exchanging these gloves would cost him three thousand two hundred task points—a hefty price, and Aizen hesitated.

After buying the Curtana Sword, he had saved eight thousand two hundred task points.

After spending one thousand five hundred points to quickly learn three fundamental Sorcery arts, and then purchasing the Soul-Locking Needles, he now had only five thousand seven hundred points left.

If he bought these Black Fiend Gloves, he would be left with just two thousand five hundred points.

After contemplating for a while, Aizen sighed and chose to exchange for the Wisdom Coins.
