0051 – Athena Received Goblin Bracelet
Athenanaturally recognized him but remainedposed, as if she hadn''t noticed anything. The other party casually moved his gaze away and wiped the sweat off his hands. "What do you need to buy?"
cing the red bow and arrow in front of her, Athena inquired about the price. "How much is this?"
The old man just nced faintly at it. "50 silver coins, but if you have food, that would be even better."
He looked outside thoughtfully. "After all, in this barren and deste ce, food is more valuable than anything."
Athena simply nodded. The bow and arrow were worth the price, but she wasn''t nning to buy them now. Seeing her put the bow and arrow back in ce, the old man casually asked, "Is your main weapon the bow and arrow?"
"No, to be precise, it''s both the bow and arrow and an axe."
The old man, hearing Athena''s words, opened his mouth with a hint of confusion. "An axe?"
"Yes."
Just to verify her words, Athena took her axe from her spatial backpack and ced it on the table. The old man looked at this ordinary axe, his expression momentarily cracking.
He shouted loudly, "Grey! Bring the axe from my storeroom."
"Alright, right away!" Her voice was clear and lively, characteristic of a young person''s vigor and soft heart.
Grey, who was still crafting weapons inside, hastily set down her work, not even wiping the sweat from her forehead, and rushed towards the storeroom.
After rummaging through the messy storeroom for a while, Grey couldn''t find the axe the old man mentioned. Frustrated, she paced around for a moment, then suddenly pped her forehead, remembering a box tucked away in the corner.
She leaned into the box and searched, her eyes suddenly lighting up as she found a hint of ck hidden beneath other items.
She pulled it out forcefully!
It was a pure ck axe, absorbing all light as if it were made of darkness itself. The de shimmered with a cold light, incredibly sharp, wrapped in a thickyer of leather at the handle for afortable grip, allowing one to hold it firmly.
<em>Found it!</em>
Grey grasped the heavy axe and carried it towards the outer room.
Outside, a subtle atmosphere formed between Athena and the old man. The outer room was eerily quiet, and the goblin had already found an excuse in this awkward atmosphere to slip away unnoticed.
Grey broke this delicate bnce by bringing the axe. The old man took the axe from her and felt the de with his hand. Despite years of being buried, the axe hadn''t lost its original luster and sharpness.
When it appeared before everyone again, it still shone brightly. Athena''s gaze had been fixed on the ck axe from the moment Grey brought it out.
The old man waved at her, handing her the axe, indicating she should try it. Athena didn''t hesitate. She gripped the leather handle of the ck axe, its coolness and unique toughness evident. The leather prevented sweat from wetting the grip, allowing for a firmer hold.
She swung the axe, using the skill "Attachment"!
A powerful force attached to the ck axe, and its already sharp de gleamed with a cold light. With a swift swing, it seemed unstoppable, cutting through the air and creating a de of air.
As the de was about to touch the shield hanging on the wall, an air arrow shot from the air, and both dissipated.
"Young woman, be careful. Everything in my shop is precious."

The crimson bow in the old man''s hand was a rare excellent quality, while the ck abyss axe in Athena''s hand was an extremely rare growth-type weapon. Grey, on the side, couldn''t contain her excitement and kept poking the old man''s waist.
"Sorry, I was just trying it out," Athena sincerely apologized. She hadn''t expected the axe to be so powerful and to fit her so well.
Seeing that time was almost up, the old man said to her, "If you really like them, I can sell them to you for a bit cheaper. Both for 50 silver coins. But I need to get back to work now; you cer."
Just as Athena was pondering his words, the goblin hurriedly ran back from outside. Her first reaction upon arrival was to pull Athena aside.
"Grandpa, not this way. The chief is looking for you miss. Let''s go there first, and we''ll bring you back to see other thingster."
After they left, the old man looked back at Grey, slightly pushed away her hand that was poking him.
"With your temperament, you still want to go out. Don''te crying backter!"
Grey shook her hand andughed indifferently, "It''s okay, if Ie back crying, then Ie back crying. It''s not like you and Mother aren''t there. Besides, I might not necessarily cry when Ie back."
The chief''s residence...
Returning to this ce, Athena couldn''t understand why the goblin chief wanted to see her. There was no difference from herst visit, except that this time, the goblin chief had a pipe in his mouth.
The goblin chief was different fromst time, his eyes much kinder.
"Quickly, a visitor from the third world, you should have told me when you camest time. Achieving this during this time period is quite remarkable." The goblin chief praised Athena as he approached her.
He took a puff from his pipe, then held it in his hand, exhaling a puff of smoke. He gestured for Athena to hand over her bracelet. Athena looked at her goblin bracelet and handed it over.
But the goblin chief didn''t take it, he just picked up the pipe. He gently tapped it, and it emitted a faint glow, smoke swirling around the bracelet.
The grass-made bracelet radiated its original vitality, unexpectedly unfolding a leaf, and its color became brighter.

"The goblin bracelet with a level is special; with it, you can go to important areas."
Seemingly aware that Athena was checking the attribute panel, the goblin chief just smiled beside her. The little goblin stood aside, staring dumbfounded, unable to understand why the bracelet was being upgraded for Athena.
But she was thinking more about how to ask Athena for a higher price, after all, there was one more ce to take her.
"Go ahead, let the little one take you to explore deeper areas. Your strength can only improve there. This is a gift from our Goblin tribe."
