Chapter 238

Darius made a not bad expression as a response to the Tree Hearts details. It wasn't particularly useful to him nor Gunner and Xela. 

Gunner was a half-giant, and his royal blood already made sure he was closer to nature and more in tune with his element than this item. As for Xela, she was an elf using the Life element, so even less of a need to do so. 

Darius could either trade it away or bestow it to a trustworthy subordinate. Hm, since he was heading to Elysium, it was better to have some rare stuff on hand in case he met a deity and saw something they had which he liked. 

Bartering wasn't a crime, and as long as what he had was good enough, no one could point at him and call him a blasphemer. Even if they did, his preparations ensured that he had the means to deal with any unfavorable situation. 

For now, Darius checked out the rest of his haul. He already knew what they were about after his quick survey earlier, but he wanted to take his time and look through it properly.

Darius nodded his head. All of these items appearing before him should be a direct manifestation of his high Luck stats, likely that of Gunner's and Xela's as well as there were items within that would certainly suit his Branded Servants. 

Darius casually revealed the uses of each and every item to the excited crowd. However, he soon noticed a strange smile on Xela's face, which made him curious. 

"What's on your mind?' Darius asked her. 

Xela shook her head with a laugh. "About half these items came from me when I was captured. I just found it funny that they would return to me... us, in a different fashion than I had envisioned." 

Upon hearing that, Darius turned to gaze at Foldo who simply shrugged with a bitter smile. After all, he didn't capture her personally, nor did he frisk her for items. 

All of that had been done by his subordinates.
