Chapter 413: Augustus’s Skull
Translator: Lonelytree
Of course, drowning was an exaggeration.
When the things from the dimensional crack were poured out, there was indeed a large pile of gold coins and other miscellaneous things on the ground.
Matthew cast a detection spell and estimated it with his naked eye.
The gold coins here were around 200,000.
The gold coins were all small gold coins issued by the Alliance. These gold coins were not very heavy. In fact, only the surface layer was gold mixed with other metals, and the inside was hollow.
You can judge the quality of a small gold coin by gently tapping the surface of the gold coin to produce an echo.
In theory, the value of these small gold coins should be much lower than the normal pure gold coins.
In the Aindor Continent, or at least in the South, these small gold coins were as easy to use as pure gold coins.
This was because it represented the credibility and authority of the Seven Saint Alliance.
So, even though these small gold coins looked very plastic, it didn’t stop Matthew from liking them.
The only regret was that…
He and Rheagar would each take half.
He thought about it.
Matthew’s heart felt like it was bleeding. Unknowingly, the gaze he gave Rheagar became unfriendly.
However, Rheagar did not notice this at all.
He excitedly walked around the pile of gold coins twice.
Then, he raised a handful of gold coins and scattered them on the ground.
Rheagar said happily to Matthew,
“Let me take back to what I just said. This zombie lady is simply our lucky girl. If there’s a similar thing next time, please make sure to let her take action.
It just so happens that Sif’s coming-of-age ceremony is coming up soon. This money can be her pocket money. After all, her father obtained it through a difficult adventure. This gift must be especially meaningful to her.”
Hearing this.
Matthew’s eyes suddenly softened.
He didn’t mean anything else.
She felt that this kind of father-daughter relationship was very warm.
Next, it was time to count the items.
There were many things left behind by Spencer. Most of them were magic materials, magic scrolls, and some strange items.
Matthew quickly sifted through them and found a few more valuable magic tools.
The first item was a purple metal pendant that he wore in front of his chest.
The metal shell of the pendant was very big, almost as big as Matthew’s palm.
Through the gap in the metal shell, Matthew could see a yellow gem inside.
Obviously, this gem was the Speed Gem that Spencer had stolen from the Alliance’s secret vault.
It was said that it could break the daily casting limit and quickly refresh the cooldown time, allowing a mage to cast a large number of spells within a day.
Of course, there was a price to pay.
According to the news that Rheagar had read, Spencer and the others had already become addicted to spellcasting.
For mages, this symptom was very fatal. Even if Matthew did not kill him, Spencer was not far from death.
Therefore, the Speed Gem was listed as a forbidden item by the Alliance. Usually, only mages with permission could borrow it.
Matthew held the pendant in his hand and looked closely. He found a secret lock on it.
This secret lock was very profound. The keyhole was a coffee-coloured gem, and there was a large amount of milky liquid flowing into the gem. Matthew took a glance and felt his body being sucked into a milky white vortex.
He quickly averted his gaze.
Even so, he could still feel the veins on his forehead throbbing. This was a sign that his spiritual power had been greatly consumed.
It’s a secret lock from the Alliance. It’s of a very high level and requires at least a Tier 5 mage to crack it. Once you fall into the illusion, you might not be able to recover for ten days to half a month.”
Matthew put away the purple pendant with lingering fear.
It seemed that although Spencer had stolen the Speed Gem, he hadn’t had the time to use it. No one knew what he was thinking at that time. For something that he couldn’t use, he actually betrayed the Alliance.
There must be a reason for this.
Unfortunately, Spencer was too serious and didn’t write in his diary, so Matthew couldn’t get a full picture of the incident.
Regarding the secret lock and the speed gem, Matthew planned to study them for a while. If he really couldn’t understand it, he could find a way to drag the mages in the Alliance into it. It wasn’t impossible to just return it, but he had to test if the Alliance was willing to increase the reward for the arrest warrant.
Next were the three items that were taken from Spencer’s corpse.
Hardshell Robe: Under normal conditions, it looks like an ordinary robe. It provides 1 point of armour and a small amount of stamina recovery.
“When activated or when the caster is in danger, the hardshell robe will rapidly expand and form a ball that will tightly protect all parts except the head.
“At this moment, the armour provided by the Hardshell Robe was 13 points (equivalent to the defence of Heavy Armor).
“Remark: Why didn’t it protect the head? It was because the mage who placed the order did not give enough money. It was that simple.
“-A famous but unnamed Saint Alliance Alchemist.”
“Dragon Skin Belt: Strength +1. Slowly increases mana recovery speed.
“In particular, the dragon skin belt could greatly increase the strength of the waist.
“Note: Initially, I made this belt to win the sit-up competition.
“However, I didn’t expect it to make me the famous ‘King’ of Hundred Flowers City.
“-A famous but unnamed Saint Alliance Alchemist.”
“Fairy Necklace: Charm +1. Slightly increases the success rate of divination..”
