Sharif did not notice the change in Alger's expression, and pointed at one of the "Primordial Moon" followers who was being cremated.
"That cane of his was also taken from me. It's called 'Sea's Word', and it can release lightning at a targeted enemy, and when swung, it adds wind blades. Besides that, it can create large water spheres and corrosive rain, allowing the holder to not fear the pressure of the deep sea, freely draw oxygen from water, and it can also serve as a magic wand for flight.
"There are three negative effects. First, it loves to sing. Every six hours, it will sing a song without fail. The effect is indiscriminate and varies depending on the song style chosen. Sometimes it causes infatuation and disorientation, sometimes it shocks the soul, sometimes it irritates and reduces rationality. Of course, even if six hours haven't passed, if you wish, it is very happy to sing.
"Second, from what I've said, you can tell it has a certain living characteristic, and it's the type with a bad personality. It likes to trip its owner when they are not paying attention, hit them, and drag them down stairs.
"Third, it makes the holder prone to being struck by lightning. So, in a thunderstorm, either don't go out or don't carry it."
This is the sealed artefact made from Gehrman Sparrow's "Ocean Singer" Beyonder characteristic. If he finds out that you had already made it but allowed the "Primordial Moon" followers to take it, then you would definitely be sold to someone in need, in the form of a Beyonder characteristic... Alger looked towards the dining table and saw a dark cane inlaid with silvery-white metal.
—In his understanding, regardless of whether the other negative effects were serious, any magical item with living characteristics was considered a sealed artefact, because that in itself implied unpredictable danger.
Seeing that "Star Admiral" Cattleya and her companion did not say it could end, Sharif had no choice but to continue pulling out magical items with a wry face.
"This short blade is called 'Venom Blade'. The name explains the effect, so I don't need to elaborate.
"Ah, it adds a random poison to each attack, depending on luck.
"Its negative effect is not great; it only causes medical treatment to fail and accumulates a drunken feeling."
Sharif then introduced several more magical items in succession before finally hearing "Star Admiral" Cattleya speak.
"Good, keep the rest for yourself."
Phew... not bad, he left me three... Sharif bore no resentment, but instead sincerely felt that "Star Admiral" was a really good person, as if he had developed some kind of mental disorder.
Cattleya then turned her head to look at "The Hanged Man".
"You pick first."
She knew that "The World" Gehrman Sparrow had magical items made by the "Craftsman" here, so she let "The Hanged Man" first pick out those of the crazy adventurer.
Alger nodded, took the "Sea's Word" cane and the "Gargoyle Spectacles", and then indicated that the rest were spoils of war.
Cattleya thought for a while and said.
"Pick one more, and the rest are mine."
She was not very interested in the remaining magical items, because she already had two very powerful items that matched her status, and had subsequently acquired the "Judge Button" and "Luck Balance", so she had no shortcomings. In this situation, considering the superimposition of negative effects, unless it was very useful or special, she would not give it a second look or make a replacement.
Of course, as a pirate admiral, she would never have too many magical items. Some had to be handed over to the Moses Ascetic Order, and some had to be rewarded to her crew.
Alger was silent for a moment, and from his existing items and his own Beyonder abilities, he chose the "Venom Blade".
"Star Admiral" Cattleya then instructed "Bloodless" Heath Doyle to move the magical items that "Craftsman" Sharif had placed on the ground and the residuals of the "Primordial Moon" followers all out of the house.
Then, she once again looked at the "Craftsman", her slightly purple-tinged eyes reflecting his figure.
"Why did the 'Primordial Moon' followers control you?"
Sharif's eyes flickered for a moment.
"Isn't it very simple and straightforward? They wanted me to make magical items for them..."
Before he could finish, he was suddenly startled by the indifferent gaze of those purple eyes, and quickly added.
"They seem to have some plan that requires the assistance of a 'Craftsman'. Specifically what, because it hasn't started yet, I don't know."
Cattleya withdrew her gaze as if in thought, exchanged a glance with "The Hanged Man", and nodded.
They decided not to take the "Craftsman" today, leaving him here to see what would happen next.
In other words, they hoped to find out what the "Primordial Moon" followers were planning by monitoring the "Craftsman".
Actually, for "The Hermit" and "The Hanged Man", what the "Primordial Moon" followers were plotting was not something they cared too much about. It was just that one could use this to exchange information with "Mystery Queen" to provide reference for her decisions in the supernatural world, and the other could use this matter to earn contributions from the church. So they instantly reached a consensus and prepared to conduct a thorough investigation.
Of course, "The Hanged Man" Alger always believed in a principle:
The more intelligence you master, the more benefits you can gain in various events!
After a brief silence, Cattleya said to "Craftsman" Sharif in an unchanged tone.
"Since you are already a follower of the 'Primordial Moon', taking you away does me no good."
Sharif nodded repeatedly, indicating that you are absolutely right.
Cattleya paused slightly
