1005 [Bonus chapter] I Know The Use Of Your Bones
“I sent it over,” from the side, Oglak forwarded the message. And when I saw the list, I couldn’t help but suck in the cold air of breath.
The list started with my white grade bones, all the way up to my diamond grade! That meant they were following my bone news, and even got the latest and unique ones I gave to the Toranks sovereigns.
Who leaked such news then? Sovereigns? Or that idiot, Silverlining?
My guess? It came from Silverlining. He was idiotic enough to do it.
But that wasn’t what made me shocked, but the number of forces and items stated next to each grade of my bones.
Starting down from the white grade bones, the ones I didn’t have any for now, a single bone was exchanged for ten hostages or one hundred loot gained from the killed races of my universe.
That wasn’t much, but the higher the bone grade became, the higher this exchange turned out to be.
The green bones would give me each one hundred forces or one thousand loot. The blue ones would give me five hundred forces, or five thousand loot.
The silver ones would give me five thousands, or the loot from twenty thousands. And when the bones reached gold grade and beyond, these exchange rates skyrocketed.
The pale gold ones would give me twenty thousand forces or loot from one hundred thousands. The dark gold would give me one hundred thousand, or five hundred thousand loot.
The black bones would give me one million forces, or the loot of ten million. The red bones would give me twenty million forces or the loot of fifty million. And the diamond bones would give me one hundred million forces, or the loot of one billion!
Damn! Just from the look of it, they were tempting me to exchange the higher grade bones. And it seemed they craved my diamond ones.
I got many of these, enough to get me armies of billions of force, not to mention the loot I’d get as well.
But there was one thing that looked fishy here.
I got that my bones had great value for my universe. They lacked any clear energy like the ones stored in my bones. And there must be other usages that I was unaware of.
That made quite sense for my universe folks, but what about the other universe then?
These bones shouldn’t be that useful to them. They had high concentration of energy indeed, but was it that much better than the magical artefact’s products I sent to them?
Something was fishy here. If I wasn’t trusting Oglak’s words and the system guarding the contracts I signed with these people, I’d suspect that this was a grand scheme and a trap.
“Ask him first…” After thinking and pondering over this matter for almost an hour, I raised my head and said to Oglak, “what are the benefits of my bones to the other universe people?”
“Does lord suspect something?” Oglak was smart enough to guess, “can I see one of my lord’s famous bones?”
“Sure, here is a black grade one,” I took something that was high in grade and threw it over to him. It was a humerus bone, one that came from a dead Hector paragon.
“This…” and the moment Oglak received my bone, his face suddenly changed. “Lord… We don’t need to ask anyone about the usages and benefits of such bones… This… This is really remarkable!”
“Remarkable? Do you recognise any usages of my bones?!!!” He kept silent for almost half an hour before suddenly saying these words.
And it was shocking!
I asked, trying to know what my bones were used for. And yet I didn’t even get a single clue. And here he was, just from inspecting my bones he seemed to get what they were used for.
“Lord… Don’t tell me… You don’t know how valuable and extremely precious these bones are?!!”
“Sigh! I just got the way to get them, but didn’t get anything else,” I bitterly admitted, “and all the people I dealt with using my bones never explained anything to me.”
“This… Lord… These bones… Damn! Lord didn’t go yet to the outer battlefield, right?”
“That’s a given, I came from the human race, and my apocalypse is still fresh,” I bitterly sighed, admitting this clear fact. Yet it felt really sour to admit such a thing.
I had such great treasure, but didn’t know what it was used for. It was just like not having it at all! That was the true might of knowledge and experience.
Lacking such simple information about how to use my bones turned such precious ones as he described into useless pieces of bones in my eyes.
“Tell… Don’t stand idle and shocked and explain to me what these bones are used for!” I was damn eager at this moment, and I didn’t want to listen to his shocking words or even wait for him to collect himself better.
I wanted to know, desperately wanted to know.
“Lord… Didn’t you even try it before?”
“Try what exactly?”
“Do this…”
As he said it, he extended his arm over the bone and the next moment a drop of his blood appeared and fell over the bone.
The moment it got in touch with the bone, it vanished.
“Lord… Your bones don’t only hold a great amount of energy, it can also get linked with you by blood.”
“And? Don’t tell me I’d end up absorbing the energy inside because that’s something I already was able to do.”
“No… It’s not that shallow! Look, I’ll show lord how to do it properly…”
The next moment, a gush of a large amount of his yellow blood fell over my bone. Each single drop got absorbed fast and vanished inside the bone. And with more blood falling, the bone started to shine brighter.
Then like it was covered in dirt, fine particles like dust started to get shed off it until it got smaller, and much brighter.
It was a pitch black piece of bone, yet at this moment it looked flashing and flaring up with lustre that gave me a dangerous feeling.
