The Author's POV Chapter 657 Treasury [2]

657 Treasury [2]

It had to be said that the treasury was extremely impressive.

The room was about the size of a tennis court, and it was lit up by pink crystals that had been embedded into the walls. The room contained a multitude of marble racks, in which a wide variety of items were stored.

Weapons, herbs, skill books, and a variety of other items worth millions of U laid on top of the racks as I had to take a breath to cool myself down.

'Jackpot.'

I was able to sort out my money problems with just one trip.

For the most part, at least.

In all likelihood, constructing a city would call for resources that were currently well beyond my reach, and it was possible that the value contained in this treasury wouldn't come close to covering the cost of building the entire city or even accomplishing one-quarter of what I had envisioned.

Nevertheless, despite this, it was still a step in the right direction.

"How about we split up? You can go look for whatever you want, while I'll go have a look around as well."

"Sure."

After everything was said and done, Amanda and I got down to business and immediately began searching through the sizable treasury that stood before us.

"Oh, right, make sure you write a log of the items that are stored here."

I mentioned to Amanda just as we were about to separate.

"Okay."

"Good."

I headed to the furthest marble on the right.

"Looks like it's all herbs."

When I finally got to the farthest rack, I was disappointed to see that it was packed with a wide variety of plants for which I had no idea what the appropriate application would be.

"Melissa might like this."

I pulled out my phone and snapped a picture of every plant on the rack before me.

The process of photographing each plant took a total of five minutes, and when I was finished, I swept my hand through the air and gathered everything that was stacked on the racks into my dimensional space.

'Alright, next rack.'

Each rack was quite lengthy. Each rack measured approximately fifteen meters in length and featured three distinct rows in total.

The number of items that could be stored in each rack was nothing short of little; explaining why my expression crumbled when I discovered that the next rack contained even more plants.

'...Looks like I chose the wrong side.'

I let out a low grunt and took a photo of each plant individually.

"Hm?"

It was when I reached the lower level that I suddenly found my hand pausing as I noticed a small flask hidden behind one of the plants.

I moved the plants out of the way so that I could get a better look at the flask, which appeared to be made out of some sort of unique glass and held a dark blue liquid within it. The flask was not very large; it was approximately the size of a fingernail, and it had a tiny black lid at the very top.

A small panel appeared in my vision when I reached out to grab it.

"What's this?"

[Poison of the Medheives]

Rank : S

Description : A slow-acting poison that enters the system and severs all mana connections in the human body, eventually causing death. The poison may take some time to take effect, but once it does, not even an

"Hiss..."

I drew a cold breath when I read the description of the small flask in my hand.

"This..."

I was without a doubt holding onto a very scary poison.

"For it to even have an effect on

I shuddered at the idea of someone trying to poison me with this poison.

"Fortunately, or should I say, unfortunately, it's insoluble and corrosive, meaning that it is probably impossible to mix this poison in foods and drinks."

'A bit of a pity.'

If only it could have been combined with both food and liquid, then it most certainly would have been a very scary tool.

"Still, it isn't exactly useless. If I coat this poison with my sword and use the Keiki style, I will without a doubt be able to poison anyone that I want."

Of course, this was granted that I injured them and they lived past fighting against me.

'Whatever, I'll think of better uses later. For now, I better look at the other stuff that's here.'

I put the flask in my dimensional space before focusing my attention on the other racks that were near me.

I had to say, looking for treasures was indeed very fun.

"Wheeeooo."

I whistled aloud when I paused my line of sight on two specific skills while scanning the numerous skill books that laid before my very eyes.

'It has to be these two.'

===

『[B] Mana scan』

A skill that grants the user to send out a pulse of mana and detect nearby beings and objects that contain mana.

『[S] Chains of salvation』

Grants the user the ability to condense the mana in the air and create a dense network of chains that can bind a specific target within their field of vision. The skill has a maximum range of five kilometers.

There were more than one hundred different skill books stacked in the racks in front of me, and if I had to be completely honest, I was extremely tempted into learning all of the skills.

However, when I thought about the city project that I was planning, I restrained myself and decided to take out the ones that I really needed, which were the two skills that I was holding in my hand at the moment.

"The rest can be kept inside of the city treasure to be given to those who will benefit the most from the skills."

Them getting stronger was the same as me getting stronger, so I had no qualms about giving the skills away.

"Alright, next section."

After I was finished organizing the skills and saving them all to my phone, I moved on to the next section, which was where the weapons were being kept and began looking through them.

This section was less exciting than the skill section since I wasn't really in need of any weapons.

Nonetheless, just because I didn't need anything didn't mean the others didn't either.

[Shield of Korak]

Rank : S

Description : Made from a combination of Ivariol and Sukian, this shield is extremely durable. The shield is extremely light, yet sturdy, and can easily deflect the attacks of
