Disciple of Immortal

Act 4: Chapter 45: The Dragon King's Treasury

After following Riddler for a while, we finally arrived at the treasury.

Gold filled the entire plaza, and murals of dragonfolk, monsters, and dragons was painted along the wall.

Various weapons lined up along the wall.

This is our treasury

I was at loss for words.

The gold and gem were all over the place.

I kept seeing amazing things such as a dragon hole that glowed with iridescent light, a treasury filled with gold, and all kinds of views I've never seen since I came to Lochlore.

In a certain meaning, those views were comparable with that of Distorted World of Cursed Mirror.

Though you already get the privilege of challenging the Dragon King, we're greatly indebted to you for defeating our old nemesis, the Ruler of The Sky, and preventing the disaster from hitting the dragon hole. So feel free to take anything that you want.

Since there are three of us, does that mean we can choose three items?

Riddler's lips twitched upon hearing my question.

Ah, no, forget about it

Well, since you managed to stop the disaster of the dragon hole, I'm prepared to give an item to the treasury. You're our great benefactor, that's why feel free to take the treasure that you want.

He replied with a shrill voice.

I wanted to get an item that allowed me to get some upper hand against Nyarlhotep alas, it seems my request was a bit too unreasonable.

B-But still, Pomera and co can't challenge Riddler-san even though they have the right to challenge the Dragon King It's such a waste.

I'll be in deep shit if I got challenged twice after suffering defeat from you

Said Riddler as he looked at Pomera and co with a serious face.

Giving three rewards to the benefactor is a much better choice than losing three times in a row. That's why please, can you at least spare my honor? I don't want to say this but, I want you to stop doing that. It doesn't matter if it is just me who got embarrassed but, things will get troublesome if you make an embarrassment of Peach Dragon Village. You Know what I mean right?

Riddler tried to persuade Pomera with an extremely serious look on his face.

M-My apologies, Pomera hasn't thought that far

Philia wants to challenge!

Philia spoke with bright, sparkling eyes.

Philia didn't seem to understand the implication of Riddler's explanation.

Seeing that, Riddler made an extremely troubled face as he looked at me while pointing desperately at Philia as if telling me to take care of her.

L-Look Philia, you're troubling Dragon King-san you know? A good child like Philia won't do that, right? Right?Find new 𝒔tories on novelbin(.)com

Pomera explained right away to Philia.

Afterward, I looked through the treasury with Akashic Record in one hand.

But Most of it was an A-rank item or an S-rank item.

Naturally, there was a Legend-rank item in the treasury but, we need at least a Phantasmal-rank item to fight against Nyarlhotep.

Some of the Phantasmal-rank items might have the power to restrict Nyarlhotep.

I picked up the black sword hanging on the wall.

Hou Is that sword to your liking, Kanata? That sword is a precious item but, I don't mind giving you that sword if it suits you.

Said Riddler as he walked to my side.

No, actually I just want to touch this sword Since something about it bugging me.

I opened the Akashic Record As I spoke.

Demon Taelon(Fake)Value: C-rank

Strength+24

Magic Power+11

A sword made from the claws of a legendary demon.

Imitation of that sword to be exact.

The greatest masterpiece of the legendary counterfeit master, Hadon from 100 years ago.

It kept changing its' owner from wealthy merchant to king, to curious collector after rumor that only those with high magical power could show its' true value,

Some counterfeit items were mixing alas, it was in fact a counterfeit with high values.

That might be the reason why it still decorated the treasury of the Dragon King.

.

That's Demon Talon A long time ago, a human hero defeated the demon Forneus, the king of that era then used the claw of that said demon to make a sword. Alas, Forneus is a whimsical demon. That's why no one can exert the demon sword's true power until now. But then, fufufu, you might be able to utilize its' full power.

As expected of the king of dragonfolk, his knowledge was vast.

Alas, not even he with such vast knowledge could recognize the work of a legendary counterfeit master, Hadon.

Honestly, I also hesitated to tell him the truth alas, I ended up returning the sword to its place.

Let's bring this secret with me to the grave.

No, I won't choose this one.

Uhm, roger that.

Pomera looked into a huge box curiously.

I approached her and looked into the box too.

Inside that box was a huge, white cane.

It was ornamented with a lot of gold and gems.

Is this cane to your liking?

It's a really, beautiful cane

I opened the Akashic Record As I spoke.

Alvrena RodRank: Legend

Strength+385

Magic Power+840

Ceremonial cane was used by successive Queen of Alv, the ancient kingdom of high-elf.

It was made from the branch of Yggdrasil when the first Queen of Alv come to Yggdrasil and made a contract with a certain spirit king.

Though Alv had already been gone in this era, the spirit king who made a contract with the first Queen still couldn't forget about the Queen and her ancient kingdom.

That's why they will lend their hand to the holder of the cane.

I see This was the elven cane, to begin with.

The reason why Pomera is attracted to the cane might have something to do with her bloodline.

According to Akashic Record this was the best cane in this entire treasury.

It was a literal godsent opportunity since Pomera's cane had already been damaged ever since the riot in Manarak and she barely patched it together.

That's why we shouldn't miss this opportunity.

Because the Invisible Hand of God had already started aiming for me, Pomera was no match for them even at her current level.

Since replacing her cane alone would drastically raise her firepower, this might be the best chance to do so.

Then let's take this cane as the first item.

I picked up the Alvrena Rod and gave it to Pomera.

Kanata-san, such thing i!

Hey, that's the treasure that I inherited from my ancestor, treat it with care!

Pomera got flustered upon receiving the cane, the same goes for Riddler.

M-My apologies.

My sense of wealth was still a bit out of order since Lunaire treated Phantasmal-rank items as if they were disposable items.

That might be the reason why I treated Legend-rank items like they were some sort of cup ramen.

Is there no Sweet?

Philia looked around with a dejected face.

I'll buy you sweets once we're in the city. Let's buy some cake once we're back to Polorock.

Really?

Philia revealed a whole-face smile upon hearing my remark.

It seems that the sweets that we brought into the city were more precious than the cane of the Queen of the Ancient Elven kingdom.

Riddler looked at us, completely at a loss for words.
