Chapter 103: *Sharing the loot part 2*
Kevin then looked at Axel and asked him, "Which one do you want to open first, honey?" Axel’s smile widened, and he said, "The divine grade box, of course!"
Kevin chuckled and motioned for Axel to destroy the lock, which he did without delay. He then opened it and quietly waited for Kevin to provide information on what was inside that box.
[ DIVINE GRADE BOX ]
- Magical crystal, legendary grade, small size × 4
- Trinium, high grade, 8 kg
- Teleportation Talisman papers × 8 (no distance limit, can stay open for 1 hour)
Kevin then looked at Alan and remembered that he still hadn’t asked him if he could absorb the darkness particles that were inside the talisman papers he got last time.
But maybe now wasn’t the right time to bring up this kind of topic, as they were all too excited to find out what was still hidden inside the remaining boxes. They would have time to talk about it later, so he asked him instead, "Alan, do you know how to use these Teleportation Talisman papers?"
Alan nodded and said to them, "My dad used to use a lot of them to get to the border and fight the demons... You just have to tear it up and think about where you want to go. It’s the one who tears up the Talisman paper who decides where we are going to go, and he is also the only one who can decide to close the teleportation portal. These Teleportation Talisman papers can stay open for up to an hour. If you want to close the teleportation portal before the hour is up, you just have to break the link that connects you to it."
After Alan’s explanation, Axel asked curiously, "It’s weird; why are these Teleportation Talisman papers in a divine grade box? From how you talk about it, it sounds kind of easy to find, right?"
Alan shook his head and, looking at them very seriously, said, "You’re wrong! The ones my father used could teleport him up to 5,000 km, and they could only stay open for a minute. It was the Queen herself who prepared them for him... It is impossible to buy this kind of Teleportation Talisman papers; it requires enormous know-how, and they are extremely rare. Very few mages are able to make them..."
Kevin, who was listening intently to Alan’s explanations, couldn’t help but think that it was too cool. In the end, maybe it was worth keeping in touch with the Queen; he could learn a lot from her.
Alan continued to help them understand how precious these Teleportation Talisman papers were, "So imagine the value of those who are here... No distance limit, and they can stay open for a whole hour; it’s completely inconceivable. No one has ever done that before."
Kevin then said, when Alan had finished talking and when Axel was still processing the high value of those Teleportation Talisman papers, "Super cool then! And it will be very handy... Guys, everything in this box is pretty easy to share..."
He stopped and asked another question to Alan, "Do you happen to know anyone who could make us weapons with the Trinium?" The fact that Alan had mentioned his father had just reminded him that he had grown up in a family of fighters, so it didn’t hurt to ask.
Alan nodded again, "I know someone who can make weapons with any ore; he’s an old friend of my family... He lives a bit outside the capital, but we will be able to get there easily. However, I don’t know if he will agree to craft us weapons; he is quite old and he is fucking stubborn and greedy. But greedy doesn’t mean that he will accept to be paid with gold coins; we will have to find something that can interest him to bargain with him."
Axel’s smile widened, and he said, "Then it’s perfect! Thanks to the System’s Store of Kevin, that shouldn’t be a problem, and we still have time to go loot other dungeons to maybe get more Trinium before the annual capital tournament starts. We will be able to choose to craft whatever weapons we want; that’s so freaking cool!"
Alan looked at him and reprimanded him, saying, "You seem to be forgetting something important... The weapons made with Trinium can only show all their potential if we introduce three elements into them... Do you have any idea how many particles it takes for an element to be successfully introduced into a weapon made with Trinium?"
Axel then said to appease his friend, "I have no idea, Alan; after all, I’m just a fighter... Even if you told me, I would have no way of knowing how difficult it is." He looked at Kevin, then returned his attention to Alan, "Even with Kevin’s help, you think it won’t be possible?"
Alan had no idea either, but if Kevin used his meditation time to introduce particles into talisman papers, he wouldn’t be able to absorb any more for himself and therefore wouldn’t be able to progress further to increase the level of his elements. He ended up saying, "There is no use talking about it with you and Erik; I will see that directly with Kevin, and we will decide together what we can do about it."
Kevin nodded and said, "Okay, we will discuss this later then... Let’s get back to the boxes now."
Kevin didn’t wait for their agreement and directly opened the legendary one, and when he saw that there was an egg inside, the size of a rugby ball, and that no specific notification had appeared, he was at a loss for what to do next. It was the first time that his System didn’t give him a notification when he opened a box. His perception skill was still activated, so he should have been able to see something.
When he saw that they were all waiting for him to say something, he laughed awkwardly and said, "There is no notification. I have no idea what this egg is..."
Erik then said to him, "Just take it in your hand, like you did for the bloodstones, and see if any notification appears."
Kevin chose to try what Erik had suggested; he took the egg in his hands and focused on it, wondering what kind of creature could be inside—or maybe this egg was already a dead one... But finally, he received a notification, and it left him completely speechless.
When the others saw his expression change, Axel asked him curiously, "Do you see something, babe?" Kevin then read to them the little information the System had provided him with.
[ STATS ]
Name: ???
Race: Legendary Creature
Level: ???
Class: ???
Affinity with the fire and light elements.
Kevin searched in the memories he had of this world, but again he found nothing on legendary creatures. When he turned to Axel with that puzzled look on his face, the latter immediately said to him, "I only see one legendary creature who has an affinity with the fire and light elements." Axel, Alan, and Erik then said in unison, "A phoenix!"
Kevin, although still frustrated by this lack of knowledge, repeated while looking at the egg that was still in his hands, "A phoenix..." He looked at them and then asked, "Do you know how we are supposed to take care of a phoenix egg? And how come I can’t find any information about legendary creatures in my memories when you all seem to know about them?"
Erik then said to reassure him, "Don’t worry; I too didn’t know they existed until I joined the Sun Sect. Every three months, the mages and the fighters have a day of common classes. We learn a lot of things, and legendary creatures are part of it... Besides, it’s Liam who gave me this course, but he obviously didn’t talk about how to take care of a phoenix egg."
Kevin, who had put the egg on his lap, was listening to the information they had on phoenixes. Apparently, legendary creatures were the opposite of what shapeshifters were. The human side of shapeshifters was more important, while for the legendary creatures, it was their animal side that was more significant. Although they could take on the appearance of a human, they were more comfortable in their animal form.
He also learned that phoenixes were unparalleled fighters and could also use very powerful fire spells. They were also known to be great healers and possessed the best regeneration skills.
The only problem was that phoenixes had been completely gone for over a thousand years, so if that egg was really a phoenix, it would be a miracle. And since he could see the egg’s Stats, that meant the creature inside was still alive.
He then asked them again, "Can we find any writings on phoenixes? Maybe we can learn how to take care of this egg."
