Chapter 1021: A strange love
Once that giant started laughing, the other giants seemed more relaxed with us.
Though they did still keep their guards up against the wyverns that we were riding on.
It seemed that they were ready to make a move if our wyverns were to do anything.
Still, once the giant that laughed broke the ice, it seemed that they were more willing to talk to us.
"What are you selling?" One of the younger giants suddenly asked while the other giant was still laughing.
At this, the giant that seemed to be the leader stopped laughing and turned to look at me.
With the way that they were looking at me, it seemed like they were wondering where I was keeping the goods that I was planning on trading. After all, there didn't seem to be a single thing that was on Joan and it didn't even seem like I had a bag to store my items.
I just raised my hand and pulled out a crystal from my Storage Ring.
The giants were surprised to see this before the older giant who laughed before who was also older than the others and seemed to be the leader of this group said, "A Storage Ring, that's a strange thing to have. I never thought that the elves would actually become close enough to a human to give them one of their special Storage Rings."
I didn't say anything as I looked up at the giant with a smile on my face.
The giants looked at me completely differently after their leader said this.
The way that they were looking at me seemed like they were less suspicious of me and seemed curious about who I really was. After all, the elves were famous for not getting along with humans in the first place.
The only reason that they traded with the humans was because there were some things that they needed that only the humans had.
If it wasn't for this, then they certainly wouldn't have traded with the humans.
But a Storage Ring was a completely different story since a Storage Ring was a very special item for the elves.
Unless they were forced to, it was unlikely that they would give one up.
However, the fact that I was able to use the Storage Ring meant that I had obtained it willingly and the elves had even taught me how to use it.
That had a completely different meaning.
If I was a human that could be trusted by elves, then that meant that I wasn't the same as the other humans.
After taking out the crystal, I gently injected my mana into it.
The moment that I did, it started to glow.
The giants narrowed their eyes a bit when they saw the crystal start to glow, but then their eyes opened wide when they heard the sound that was coming from it.
"This is..." The giant leader said in a shocked voice that trailed off.
All of the giants seemed like they were shocked when they heard the voice that came from it.
That was because after the crystal lit up, there was this beautiful singing that came from the crystal.
This beautiful singing had completely entranced the giants when they heard it.
With the way that they stood there in a daze, it was as if they only heard the singing coming from the glowing crystal and nothing else.
That was because these giants actually had a very strange love.
It was that even though they lived in this kind of tribal society and seemed like backwards people, they had a great appreciation for the arts.
Perhaps it was because of the society that they lived in that they had this great appreciation for the arts.
Perhaps it was because this was something that they weren't able to make themselves that they appreciated those that could make it.
It was mainly because of their size that they weren't able to use fine things like instruments to create music. But even if they weren't able to create it, that didn't mean that they weren't able to appreciate it.
That was why giants had a far greater love for the arts than most other races even though it didn't seem to suit them as a race. At the same time, because of how much they loved it, they had quite refined tastes and could be quite picky on the things that they liked and disliked. It was a good thing that I had chosen the best of the best to trade with them. Mermaids were famous for their beautiful singing, it was even so beautiful that they were able to drown sailors by manipulating them with their singing to crash their ships on rocks. That was why they were known as the sirens of the sea.
That was also why I had chosen Ariel as the one that was recorded.
This recording crystal was one of the special materials that came from the Darius Kingdom. It was a special crystal that was able to record sounds as long as a bit of mana was injected. Though it sounded easy, it actually wasn't since the one recording had to constantly control the mana that was going into the crystal to allow it to keep recording.
That was why it wasn't used for anything before.
But I knew the cheat for this since this was one of the minigames in the game.
It was easy for me to find the right frequency and record Ariel's singing with this crystal.
Once it was recorded, all that it required was a bit of mana to playback the sound.
This could even be achieved with a magic stone, but I was doing it myself right now to make the giants feel that it was even more mystical.
When the song came to an end, the giants didn't hesitate at all.
"We'll take it. Come back to our tribe and we'll discuss the price." The giant leader said rightNôv(el)B\\jnn
away.
The other giant hunters all nodded in agreement to this.
A faint smile appeared on my lips when I heard this before I nodded in agreement.
