"They won't help me even if I offer each of them a Fragmented Legendary item?" Shi Feng was taken aback.
He did not think Sharlyn was lying.
He had personally witnessed how extraordinary the Sword in the Stone was. Even Sharlyn, a Tier 4 Great Divine Official, could not uncover its secrets. Meanwhile, he had only obtained the Golden Stigmata due to luck. Otherwise, he would have never known that the Sword in the Stone was a Legacy Item.
_Fortunately, I made the trip here. Otherwise, I would have missed my chance._ Shi Feng inwardly celebrated his luck as he looked at the Sword in the Stone.
Originally, Shi Feng had thought he only needed to hire three Tier 4 NPCs to help him. Now, it would seem that even if he found three Tier 4 NPC powerhouses, there was no price he could pay to gain their help.
Based on Sharlyn had said, however, even if he could afford the price, he still couldn't awaken the power within the Sword in the Stone.
"Alright, let's begin. I, too, want to see just what sort of item this is. Little dummy, stand back."
Sharlyn was greatly interested in the Sword in the Stone right now. After saying so, Sharlyn tossed the 21 Mana Stones into the air and started chanting an incantation. The 21 Mana Stones suddenly split up and flew in all directions. Fortunately, Sharlyn's room was sufficiently large. After the Mana Stones flew 20 yards, they immediately stopped, hovering in the air. The Mana Stones then started to spin slowly. In the next moment, silvery-white light shone from under their feet.
Shi Feng immediately distanced himself from the magic array that appeared, watching silently from afar.
As the 21 floating Mana Stones rotated, the Sword in the Stone hovered in the center of the magic array.
Sharlyn then shouted. Suffocatingly dense Mana filled the room, buzzing.
As if unable to withstand this immense pressure, the 21 Mana Stones immediately shattered into dust, forming clouds of gray smoke that flowed into the Sword in the Stone.
When the Sword in the Stone completely absorbed one of the Mana Stones, the Legacy Item emitted a thumping sound that resembled a heartbeat.
Shi Feng even wondered if his ears were playing tricks on him at first.
However, as more Mana Stones fused with the sword, the thumping became much louder and more powerful. It was as if the disintegrated Mana Stones were waking an ancient beast from its deep slumber.
However, as Mana Stones continued to drift into the sword, Sharlyn, who currently stood inside the magic array, grew weaker.
By the time the seventh Mana Stone fused with the sword, Shi Feng could clearly feel that only half of the terrifying Mana that filled the room remained. At this moment, Sharlyn had also greatly weakened. As the fourteenth Mana Stone melded with the sword, Sharlyn began to grow pale. When the twenty-first and last Mana Stone fused with the sword, Sharlyn wavered. A gentle breeze could send her tumbling to the floor.
At this moment, Shi Feng finally realized that it was not easy to awaken the Sword in the Stone.
Channeling a single magic array had weakened a Tier 4 powerhouse to such a degree. It was no wonder why Sharlyn had said that no Tier 4 powerhouse would agree to aid him, even if offered a Fragmented Legendary item.
