Chapter 121 The Treasure Room I
Jian's mouth was opened wide as he gasped and looked at Kyle and Alec who were also staring inside the opened door with wide eyes.
Bia also looked at the white room with shock but after giving a long glance she seemingly lost interest.
In front of them was a white room filled with mountains of gold, silver, artifacts, and all kinds of weapons. Hundreds of different colored skill cores and books were floating inside the room.
"Are you done staring?"
A thunderous voice resounded and the trio finally snapped out of their daze and looked up.
In the middle of all kinds of treasures, a black-haired dwarf was floating. It was Yon, the 9th-floor guardian. He was wearing a silver jacket with black pants.
Yon sneered when he saw the trio's dazed expression. He was in a hurry to set up the treasure room that's why he didn't bring a lot of treasures but the trio was dazed only after seeing this much.
Kyle looked at Yon and felt a little disappointed. After seeing so many treasures, he was actually thinking of taking everything but It seemed they had reached the treasure room!
Yon was wearing a serious expression as he landed on the ground. His playful demeanor was nowhere to be seen.
"Kids if you going to stand at the door the whole day I will close the door."
He said and looked at the trio who was staring at the treasures with twinkling eyes.
Without even waiting for a second, Kyle and the others hurriedly stepped inside the room and approached Yon.
Their gaze was darting around but after arriving in front of Yon they stopped looking around and waited patiently.
"Now that the three of you have found the treasure room. I will give you two hours to choose two treasures each from this room."
"Remember you can only take two each and after the two hours is over I will send you out from this floor because there isn't anything else you can do on this floor."
Yon spoke and gazed at the trio. All three of them were listening to him with serious expressions.
Suddenly Kyle raised his hand with nervousness.
Yon looked at Kyle with a frown.
"What?"
"Ah.. Well, I remember we talked about 4 people. So that means Bia can also pick two treasures right?"
Kyle pointed at Bia who was sitting on top of his head.
"Also, if you send us out from this floor where will we go next?"
Kyle said seriously while gazing directly at Yon. He wanted to take as many treasures as possible.
Yon raised his brow. This kid was really fearless but then he chuckled and the serious atmosphere vanished within a second.
"Right your bonded beast can also take two treasures and about where you will go after leaving this floor that's a secret you will naturally find out after two hours."
Kyle's eyes lit up with surprise. Originally after seeing Yon's serious expression, he thought the other party wouldn't agree but it seemed the guardians of the Tower were really generous!
He was a little worried about where they would go next after leaving this floor but he immediately threw the matter at the back of his head and looked at all the treasure present around him.
Alec and Jian who were standing beside Kyle looked at him with envy.
"Damn! He got double the amount we are getting!"
Jian mumbled bitterly and sighed.
Yon saw Jian's bitter expression and shook his head. He somewhat knew what the other party was feeling.
"Alright, kids! Don't waste any more time. After you are done selecting treasures come back to this place."
He said loudly and clapped his hands. Within a second, a white chair formed behind him. Yon gazed at the trio before silently sitting on top of the chair with closed eyes.
He wasn't worried that they would take more than two treasures because even if the trio wanted to, they couldn't.
Kyle looked at Alec and Jian with excitement.
"I am going to the left side!"
He said and hurriedly left the duo behind. Alec and Jian looked at each other and also scattered to look for some good treasures.
Kyle walked around the room and after a minute, he arrived in front of one of the gold mountains.
There were different shaped gold coins with some strange golden color artifacts within the mountain but because Kyle wasn't sure about their usage he didn't grab anything randomly.
'Hey Bia why are you so quiet?'
After giving another glance to the gold mountain, Kyle started walking toward the weapons mountain while speaking with Bia inwardly.
Bia who was sitting on top of Kyle's head, gazed at the gold mountain and all the artifacts with a bitter smile.
-'Everything present here is useless to me. I can't use gold or weapons. Nor can I absorb the skill core floating inside the room. I think the 6th floor where we climbed the golden stairway contained more precious treasures than this floor!'
'Oh?'
Kyle stopped for a while. It was true Bia wasn't able to absorb skill core because she inherited all her skills from the Phoenix. She can only absorb normal preserved fire-related cores but on this floor, all the cores flying around the room were skill cores.
This room also didn't have any precious herbs, fruits, and other natural treasures.
Kyle sighed. The room looked magnificent at first glance but it was lacking a lot compared to the 6th floor.
'It seems I have no choice but to take your two picks as well. Now I have to select 4 treasures.'
Kyle said reluctantly. It felt like he was doing a great favor to Bia.
Bia narrowed her eyes and pulled Kyle's hair with her beak.
"Agh..What are you doing?"
-'Hmph.'
With a cold hump, Bia closed her eyes because she didn't want to look at the hundreds of treasures present around her. Also, Kyle was being too annoying.
At the same time, Kyle arrived in front of a weapon mountain. He gazed at the sword he was holding.
'I took it from home but I am already (D)-Rank. After I reached (C)-Rank this sword won't be very useful.'
After Kyle advanced to the (C)-Rank, his strength would naturally increase and he would need a more powerful weapon. At that time a (D)-Rank sword wouldn't be very useful in battle.
