[Kt’s POV]
Just as Lucy Gray left the top floor on her swan, Kt closed the door and took out the gold square box from his bracelet. He caressed the octopus’ image on the box and prepared to take out the things st by his aunt.
An excited smile played on Kt’s lips as he activated his aura to access the gold box that came from Royal Delivery.
Just as he used the aura on the gold box, the octopus image glowed, and a transpart octopus’ spirit came to life. The spirit floated like a swimming jellyfish and rose to the height of Kt.
It stared at Kt’s face for a long time and dissipated into thin air in gre color. In the next instance, the gold octopus image turned into an emerald gre color.
With a sigh, Kt accessed the gold box. The storage box itself is a spatial instrumt, and there are three items packed neatly in it. As Kt extded his hand, he retrieved a heavy manual in the size of a dictionary.
The tire manual is made of bronze, including the pages, decorations, and designs.
“The Arcane Archer’s Tome”
The title of the manual is etched on the book cover with a special technique. A symbol of Blue Planet, adorned with a conical wizard cap on it, is minted at the bottom of the book, with the name Blue Planet Wizard Association writt in small letters.
As Kt oped the first page, ’99 Magus Arrows for Beginner Arcane’ is writt in bold letter. An image of an archer aiming an arrow to the sky is depicted in a brave stance.
With a surprised face, Kt turned up the next page, where three lines were writt in a gleaming thread ure.
“This book is the first part of the Arcane Tome, contain explosive, damaging arrow spells. The second part contains killer arrow spells, and the third part contains mass destructive war sovereign arrow spells.
The person who masters all 33 arrows mtioned in the these three manuals of Arcane Tome will be awarded the “Arcane Sage” title by the Blue Planet Wizard Association.
A wide grin formed on Kt’s face as he wt through the lines. He knew how hard it was to get his hands on these types of rare manuals, but his aunt st the best of the best for him.
Keeping the book aside, Kt picked up the long bow from the gold box. As he stood with the bow, which is almost the same height as him, Kt’s eyes gleamed in while staring at the imposing size of the bow. The tire bow is dazzling in snow- theme.
Suddly Kt felt startled and lost the grip on the bow. But thankfully, he regained his composure shortly and captured the bow in a split second. The reason for his sudd perplexity is the snow- snake passed along the curve of the bow on one side.
The craftsman of this bow is definitely a sage-level smith who took intse care in balancing its size with its weight.
Kt couldn’t contain his excitemt, as the bow looked very majestic and every inch of it contained intricate carvings. Along the body of the snake, aura particles were etched in shining crystals, making it a work of art in its own right.
Ev though the tire bow looked snow in color, two crimson red stones were etched in the snake’s eyes.
Kt, balancing the heavy bow, leaned forward to take a closer look at the eyes of the snake.
“What the…?!!! These are mana stones.” Kt cried out in surprise.
[Aura stones and mana stones are differt. Until the Grand Master Magus stage, people use Aura and Aura Stone to gain strgth and advance to the next level Magus. But from the Grand Master Magus stage, people can only raise their level through mana absorption.
Mana stones were accepted as currcy on all planets, whereas Aura stones varied for each planet, so they were confined to their own planet.]
After spding ough time with the bow design, Kt observed that the bow string is not connected on both ds.
He stood straight with the bow and untied the bow string, which is wrapped a the top d of the bow. Using all his strgth, he dragged the bow string down, which is very hard to stretch.
Kt used his 8th-class Magus aura and put all his strgth into drawing the bow string. After struggling for five minutes and after several failures, Kt successfully tied the bow string to the other d.
Just as the bow string connected, a gleam passed along the snake carving of the bow and a name lit up in bold characters at the head of the snake.
“V.I.C.T.O.R”
Those five letters were carved in bold characters with a separate design for each letter. An arrow bump passed through the base of these letters.
“How majestic…!” Kt muttered while caressing each letter carved in imposing calligraphy.
Ev though he felt scrupulous pain in his muscles, Kt held onto the heavy bow dearly. But his low stamina didn’t let him hold the bow for a long time. Controlling the painful feeling, Kt carefully placed the bow on the bed.
“Ahh… It’s too heavy for me. I must train my body as soon as possible. Otherwise, this bow will be trash in my hands.” Kt muttered in a determined tone while pressing his muscles to ease the pain.
Soon he felt relaxed and picked up the gold box to check for other items.
Except for a small black wood box in the corner, the gold box is completely empty. With a sigh, Kt picked up the small black wood box.
Just as he took out the last piece of item from the gold box, the octopus’ image on it began fading, and the gold hue of the box slowly receded.
Just in a few minutes, it turned into a cramped-up wood box, and its internal space collapsed, making it useless for future use.
“What the hell? I thought of using it as storage or a gift. But this thing became useless.” Kt muttered with an annoying look while staring at the disintegrating Royal delivery box.
But Kt doesn’t know that the gold box won’t support placing foreign objects in it. Only items marked with the blue planet Magus seal can be placed inside, and once they are sealed gold box with the octopus’ spirit, no other things can be placed inside.
Shaking his head in disappointmt, Kt oped the small, black wood box.
“Knuckles…?! Why did I receive knuckles?!!!”
Kt’s eyes wt wide after seeing the black, plain knuckles inside the black wood box.
