My Skill Bar is Full of Monster Skills-Chapter 206 - 48: Dragon’s Might and the Counterattacker (Part 3)

"Afterwards, the ’Counterattacker’ will be temporarily placed with Angrel, the head of the guards."

The leather-armored man spoke as he removed his cloak.

"Yes, Reid, you’ve worked hard, and you’ve done well." Dual Swordsman Freddie nodded, a smile on his face.

"This is also our only chance."

"The time window is about two hours, during which it will be locked in the treasury of Dark Furnace City with other items."

"Just as we anticipated."

They spent more than half a year preparing for this operation and invested nearly two years of their team’s earnings into it.

For example, the ’Boots of Levitation’ Reid wore were acquired at a high price.

As for the invisibility potions and teleportation scrolls, there’s no need to mention them.

If.....

If the operation fails, it might take years for the team to recover financially.

But if it succeeds...

A glint flashed through Freddie’s eyes.

They’d strike it rich!

Twenty years!

Enough to cover the team’s earnings for twenty years!

Moreover, if they can curb their usual extravagant spending habits, they could even retire without any problem.

Of course, Freddie had some other thoughts.

Thoughts he had never shared with his teammates.

For instance, His Majesty Nierov of the Kingdom of Farrenis had a particular fondness for warhammers and offered substantial rewards for rare epic-level magic warhammers.

Over a decade ago, someone was granted the title of Count of the Kingdom of Farrenis for possessing an epic warhammer known as the ’Lightstone Hammer’.

This wasn’t just an honorary count title, but a position with real power, including vast lands and several small towns as estates.

As for the ’Counterattacker’, crafted through the combined mastery of Gray Dwarves skilled in forging, though equally epic, is undoubtedly stronger than the ’Lightstone Hammer’ from the Barbarian Tribe.

Count Freddie!

The thought of this title made Freddie’s lips curl into a slight smile.

This could be a count family that would last for hundreds of years, or even longer....

Among adventurers, apart from those few who pursue combat skills with strict demands or who are extremely adventurous, most hope to make a fortune and achieve a status of nobility.

Freddie was no exception.

With limited talent, he knew he would never become transcendent.

As he grew older, his skills might become more refined, but his body would inevitably decline, and he needed to plan for his future ’dignified life’.

The whole thing began more than half a year ago when, during a mission, they obtained a crucial piece of information.

That is, within the Dark Furnace Clan, there was a particularly precious weapon—

The ’Counterattacker’.

An epic-level magic weapon. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

It was also a one-handed warhammer of significant symbolic value within the Dark Furnace Clan, reportedly the weapon of battle used by Dakvil Dark Furnace, the clan leader thousands of years ago.

Dakvil was a great figure of the Dark Furnace Clan, leading them to independence from the Gray Dwarves Alliance.

Thus, his weapon held special meaning, and successive clan leaders have always kept the ’Counterattacker’ in the heavily guarded treasury of the Dark Furnace Clan.

It’s only during the annual commemorative festival that it is removed from the well-guarded treasury for display.

Starting tomorrow, on the first day of the festival, the ’Counterattacker’ will be held by the Master of the Dark Furnace for street parades and then temporarily stored in the room of the guard captain inside Dark Furnace City’s Inner Ring.

Compared to the Dark Furnace Clan’s treasury filled with detection and defense arrays and surrounded by several inches of anti-magic metal, the guard captain’s room is undoubtedly easier to access.

This was also their best chance to succeed.
