Chapter 51: New equipment and Tier 4

The next morning arrived and Shaman shot up awake.

'Did that really happen.' Shaman felt that yesterday's events were unreal but when she looked at her stats and saw the legendary weapon it confirmed that it was indeed real.

'I hope we can get Elysia a weapon soon. It would be good if we do not need to upgrade weapons.' Shaman let out a sigh as it seemed like Elysia was getting the short end of the stick. However Elysia who was now clinging to Shaman's waist while drooling seemed like she was having the time of her life.

Shaman could not help but chuckle while looking at Elysia, as so much has happened to her in the past few weeks.

'I feel like things are moving way too quickly and easily.' Shaman felt a little uneasy as even though there were many times she felt like she almost died things never went wrong.

'I swear there is a god of fate pulling the strings, because this is just ridiculous now that I think about it.' Shaman looked up at the roof seeing if there was a response but as expected nothing happened.

'Damn I was hoping I could kite a god to give me a response.' Shaman looked away and carefully got out of Elysia's grasp and made her way to the bathroom.

"Oh my she is onto something." A 12 tail Fox in a black yukata with dark purple flowers was sitting back in a violet cushioned seat looking at a massive TV screen that spans across the entire 10x15 wall. The fox had long White hair with purple highlights and was lounging around while watching Shaman on the screen.

"I better be more careful or she might actually guess who I am hehe~." The Fox girl continued to talk to herself and giggle as Shaman's attempt to get her attention was all for naught.

"I wonder how she would feel if I knew everything she was thinking." The fox girl began to ponder, as all the internal thoughts were broadcasted to her.

"Oh well, let's see how they overcome the next challenge." The fox girl giggled and continued to roll around on the couch while watching Shaman.

Shaman and Elysia were now both awake and are currently sitting on the floor with all the boxes they received from the quest.

"Okay so we have 8 tier 4 boxes and we have each 2 skill selects and 3 skill level ups, Shall we start with the boxes." Shaman read out the quest rewards and they began to open the tier 4 boxes.

"Yay~." Elysia was excited as she was really wanting some new gear as they are about to evolve to tier 4 and was due for an upgrade.

They split the boxes so they each had 4 and began to open them. Shaman mainly focused on getting accessories as armour was not really necessary and it would make her heavy which is something she does not want.

[Earring of the Swordsman]

[Strength +50]

[Belonged to a famous swordsman who was known for his great strength in battle]

It was a small sword that hangs off a tiny chain and on closer inspection it could be seen engravings on the sword but too small to tell. Shaman shrugged it off but realized she has to pierce her ears to put it on. She panicked for a moment but remembered the system would probably be able to equip it on her without a problem.

Shaman then used the system and was able to to equip the earring without having to pierce her ears herself.

[Bracelet of protection]

[Defense +50]

[Charm of speed]

[Dexterity +25]

[Agility +25]

[Ring of the scholar]

[intelligence +50]

Shaman opened the rest of the boxes and was able to get a general boost in her stats which she was satisfied about. She also discovered that as long as she had it in her equipment slot she did not need to wear it, which was a relief as she was unsure if having 1 ring for each finger would look appealing.

'Well at least I can keep the looks up without looking like a jewel freak.' Shaman let out a sigh and looked over at Elysia.

Elysia could be seen wearing a pair of black gloves and what seems to be a flower ornament that sits Infront of her shoulder. This was all the changes Shaman could see but assumed Elysia got a new weapon and maybe another accessory.

"Looks like you're done." Shaman called out as she was ready to go through the evolution.

"Yeah, I am done as you can see I got this Flower and gloves, I also got a new bow and a ring." Elysia showed off her items with a bright smile.

"Nice, well should we evolve since I know when I was choosing a new skill a lot of options were locked because I was not high enough tier." Shaman suggested this as it would be the better option to open up more choices before they used the skill select and if they picked any leveled skills they could also use the skill level ups.

"Sounds like a good idea and since we have nothing better to do, why don't we do it right now or do we want to go out first." Elysia preferred if they went out on a date but there was not much she could do as she was too embarrassed to ask Shaman at the moment.

"I think we can evolve now and then we can go on a date or something afterwards." Shaman was also keen to go out with Elysia but thought it would be better to get stronger before they go out again.

"Alright!" Elysia brightened as her thoughts of a date were proposed and could not wait.

"Well shall we evolve, sooner the better." Shaman opened the menu and saw they had all the cores they needed to evolve. Elysia nodded and they made their way to the bed. They also made sure to feed Wolfy and left him to guard the house while they evolved.

"Alright ready." Shaman looked at Elysia and Elysia gave her the okay, so they both pushed yes and began to evolve into tier 4.

A round table with 15 men shrouded in darkness could be seen with the only light source being a few candles which lit up the table.

"This meeting here is to discuss the disturbance we have had in the Elysium territory of setting up the anchors." One of the figures who sat in a taller and grander chair spoke which suggested he is the leader.

"Apparently it was 2 Fox girls from the report I got from the city of Victoria."

"I got the same report from Cholden however the last thing I got from them is that they caught one but ever since then I have received nothing so we can only assume that they were either killed or the military of the city managed to catch the operation."

2 figures spoke up to give their reports of the situation.

"Hmm, send over some men to Cholden to track down these 2 fox girls and bring them back to me, it is rare for a powerful fox to leave the fox realm so unless they are abandoned or a runaway we need to catch them before they get too strong." The man in the grand chair gave orders and the 14 people surrounding the table all walked out of the room leaving the 'Boss' in the room alone.

***

Sunset had arrived and it could be seen in the city lords castle an old man slumped over on the desk.

"Why did that bastard city lord have to die, now I am left with all this paperwork." The old man slammed the desk since the city lord died the responsibility fell onto him to run the city.

"Are you okay sir?" One of the guards came in to see if he was okay but he could see the stacks of paper which answered the question for him. The old man glared at him and the Guard instantly fled back in the hallway.

"I hope we can find a new city lord soon otherwise I am going to wither away to dust by the time I am finished with all this." The old man sighed and lent back in the chair.

"Maybe I should pass on leadership to Zak." The old man rubbed his chin as the idea of passing all the work to someone else sounded very pleasing to him but finally came to a conclusion.

"No not yet, I must kick the bucket before I give up this role." The old man laughed at himself, as he had held the leader of the guards for the last 60 years of his life.

***

It's the middle of the night and 2 fox girls finally break out of their shell and now have become tier 4 fox girls.
