My Fusion System: Fusing a Thousand Chickens at the Start

However…

“Are those the only items you brought back, Master?” Watson rummaged through the crates, his lips twisted in displeasure.

“Only? What do you mean? Watson, those items are worth more than 200,000 gold coins. Are those not enough to satisfy you?” The astrologer’s hand stopped, and his expression froze.

“I can’t say that I am not content; I can only say I am generally satisfied. Now that all Blackmoon Castle guards have been upgraded to gold-tier, silver-tier equipment is no longer useful to them; they don’t even use them as tools for training!”

Watson sighed. “Only the 100 gold-tier weapons and armor are adequate. However, the quality is not up to my expectations!”

Watson realized he had gone too far when he noticed the astrologer seemed aggrieved, so he quickly changed his words. “Of course, these things are from Fairy Castle. It has nothing to do with you, Master. If you want to blame someone, blame Fairy Castle’s owner for being too stingy.”

“That’s right. Sylvan gave me too few things, and I’m his teacher.”

Since Watson had graciously prepared an excuse for him and that the astrologer had taken the correct course, it was better for Watson to blame Sylvan than him. At the same time, he grumbled quietly in his heart.

Watson’s appetite had grown stronger after he had not seen his master for a few days. He was no longer interested in silver-tier equipment. He was not impressed with gold-tier items. Fortunately, before he left, he had asked Sylvan for the five Song of the Nibelungs rings. Otherwise, he would lose face in front of his disciple.

With that in mind, he took out the rings he had prepared and handed them to Watson.

“Those were only casual gifts; the most important ones are these five platinum-tier rings. It was not easy for me to get them from Sylvan.”

“Praise me quickly,” the astrologer murmured as he stroked his beard again. Watson was not interested in silver or gold-tier equipment, but platinum-tier equipment should be able to move his heart.

However, Watson’s following words caused him to freeze once again.

“Master, why did you give me defective platinum-tier equipment? Did you split them and not give me the complete one? I was a little excited as I thought you were going to give me five platinum-tier equipment. But it looks like these five rings are only half of a complete set of equipment. Isn’t it a little stingy to split a gift into numerous parts and give it away?”

[Platinum-tier tool: Song of Nibelungenlied (five rings)]

[Effect: can defend against platinum-tier attacks. It is said that that ring is a precious treasure left behind by a lost civilization. A complete set includes ten rings and can trigger a special skill called the Symphony of Fate. However, if the rings are incomplete, you will not be able to use that skill. Instead, each ring will have an independent skill.]

[Additional effects: Song of Courage (increases all attributes attack power by 500%, and removes pain or fatigue during combat), Song of Wisdom (increases thinking power by 500%), Song of Glory (increases charm, leadership, and eloquence by 500%), song of Fortitude (increases defense by 500%), Song of freedom (increases speed by 500%).]

[Additional skills: Alchemy Fusion (rings are made from high-end alchemy. Each additional ring that you master will increase all of the above effects by 100%), Symphony of Fate (all rings combined will allow you to make a wish. The wish will follow the principle of equivalent exchange and can only be used once a day. Since you do not have all of the rings, you can not use them at the moment.)]
