(Black Spider's POV)
Black Spider looked at the yellowish fruit, upon closer inspection, it possessed a series of extremely fine, flowing golden lines, as if energy were passing through it.
It took him a while to find it in the galactic database.
The name is Tear of Osys, according to the information, Osys is the name of the deity of the Osyard civilization, whose people are the Osyans.
In fact, the Osys are a branch of the elves, their "deity" is actually a gigantic, semi-living tree. The tree's fruit is considered an extremely powerful form of healing, and it does have a life-prolonging effect, but for the Osyans, the effect is secondary.
It is said that the fruit of Osys is a tear due to the death of the Osyans, the tear demonstrates the tree's sadness and its desire to help save lives.
A single fruit takes a thousand years to produce, but this fruit is also the main ingredient for an extremely powerful Osyan healing potion, just one ripe fruit is enough for a thousand doses of this same potion, demonstrating the power of this fruit.
Although these healing potions lose their life-prolonging effect, their healing ability is still remarkable. It is said that whoever eats the fruit itself not only cures all diseases and prolongs life, but also gains a blessing from Osys, greatly increasing their strength. Unfortunately, this effect is better on civilians, at most slightly affecting a Grade B.
Even so, giving a Tear of Osys to any civilian is enough to guarantee a smooth journey to Grade B, making this fruit even more precious.
The fruit itself is not inferior to a Grade A product.
Due to the rarity of the fruit itself, not only because it is an extremely coveted commodity, but also because the Osyans rarely sell whole fruits, except at very rare auctions.
Sure, the tree itself normally takes 1,000 years to ripen the fruit, but that time has long been shortened, otherwise, the Osys wouldn't even sell something so precious. Mages focused on natural magic and plant-based Esper can accelerate the process by nurturing the tree.
This also made the Osyans practically a magical civilization full of druids, except for those who cannot become mages, but even they can only be considered second-class citizens.
Besides the fact that the tree bears more than one fruit at a time, potentially dozens at once, and with the advancement of technology, more of these trees have been planted by the Osyans, although they vehemently refuse to sell a single seed.
The fruit that Black Spider received was genetically altered so that it doesn't produce seeds, it's a product of the descendants of the main tree. Not even a Grade A mage could reproduce a tree from a single fruit.
Sure, if it were anyone else, this fruit would simply be consumable, but who is Ringo? As long as there's genetic information, Ringo can copy!
Although injecting it directly into himself takes much longer, and Ringo doesn't have much experience with plant life forms compared to animal life forms, he still has enough time, in any case, this fruit doesn't spoil.
In the end, Ringo wanted to use the fruit to exchange for the Star Silver, but not now, he had the clone in Xenomorph 1 come and retrieve the fruit before taking it back.
He could work slowly with Emma to recreate an Osys tree.
After delivering the fruit, Black Spider turned to the dagger with the Lich Phylactery.
Ringo is not a Mage, attempting to extract the core from a ready-made weapon could damage both the Lich Phylactery and the weapon.
However, if he went to Bradd to ask to remove the Lich Phylactery and then returned with another Grade A Lich Phylactery, it would be clear that Ringo could transform lower-grade Lich Phylacteries into advanced versions.
Bradd hadn't yet reached the point where he was trusted enough for that.
So Ringo needed a way to extract this, and luckily, Black Spider was at the Juberly Hub.
With a simple glimpse into the future, Black Spider found what he was looking for.
Leaving the hangar where Trihexa was parked, Black Spider calmly walked to the Juberly Hub shopping center. After browsing through several shops, he soon spotted the one he was looking for.
[P'coll Avens - Magical Weapons and Armor]
Black Spider looked at the sign for a moment before entering.
Unlike Bradd's shop, this one was a true business-oriented establishment, with thousands of magical items everywhere, mainly weapons and armor, and several female attendants of various races wearing suggestive uniforms ready to serve customers.
The shop looked like a true magical world store, made of smooth white stone with wooden ornaments, although it seemed a little out of place in the Galaxy, it was still extremely luxurious, typical of magical civilizations.
As soon as Black Spider entered, a human attendant quickly approached him.
-Mr. Black Spider, what do you need?- the woman asked with a "gentle" smile, her movement perfectly timed to reveal a wide layer of skin from her breasts, but still leaving a little room for the imagination.
Black Spider was wondering who the genius was who came up with this idea.
Unfortunately, this woman was too weak, Ringo wouldn't feel the slightest attraction to such a "useless" female.
For Ringo, although physical appearance and personality are still important, strength is the most important attribute.
Although he could still feel attraction without it, he has so many women that he feels he already has enough problems, so he completely ignored this busty girl, but even so, what surprised him most was that this woman seemed to know him.
-Of course, you must know that most of our clients are mercenaries, so we're always keeping up with the news about them. You've been very famous in mercenary circles lately.- The girl smiled even more brightly.
Black Spider seemed thoughtful, in fact, like a Grade A subordinate of Ames, and on top of that, with his last clash against Dark Star, being famous is completely predictable, at least in sectors related to mercenaries, and for leaders of civilizations and companies.
