Unlike the box, the crystal spectacles inside are as bright as new,
"A kind of accessory?"
Gauss’s White Magic Wand moved closer.
The glow of the Identification Technique quickly enveloped the spectacles.
The spectacles soon glowed with a deep blue light in his eyes.
[Eagle Eye Monocle]
Level: Rare Magic Item (Blue Grade)
Description: Meticulously crafted by ancient elven master artisans, the lenses are ground from magic crystals, and the delicate golden frame is etched with miniature [Eagle Eye Rune], granting the wearer extraordinary farsighted abilities.
Basic Enchantment Effect 1: Sharp Vision, greatly enhances farsighted ability when worn, allowing the wearer to clearly capture details like fluttering insect wings from a hundred meters away, with vision extending to over a thousand meters.
Basic Enchantment Effect 2: Detect Invisibility, provides a certain chance to discover creatures or objects in the vicinity that are in an invisible or illusionary disguise state when worn.
Basic Enchantment Effect 3: Arcane Vision, occasionally allows detection of traces of some magical aura when worn.
"Another peculiar item."
Gauss informed his teammates of the monocle’s effects.
Everyone was delighted.
Finding a magical item is quite an unexpected joy.
The only downside is that this delicate monocle is visibly unsuitable for prolonged wear, especially in combat.
"It’ll be easier to gather reconnaissance information for future commissions."
Aaliyah spoke up.
Gauss now possesses the ability to fly.
He can easily ascend into the sky and use this item’s properties to observe the surrounding large area.
He could even learn a visual spell to further extend the range of his sight.
This way, the team can conduct reconnaissance and with Ying for close "field surveys" and Gauss for distant "god’s-eye views," their information needs are covered for the time being.
After acquiring a peculiar item, the group’s enthusiasm for searching the cavern increased.
With their meticulous search, they found two more items.
Both are also magical items.
[Thief Gloves] and [Universal Key]
The former still exhibited blue gleam under the Identification Technique, but the latter, a seemingly ordinary brass key, unexpectedly emitted a dazzling purple glow in Gauss’s surprised gaze!
[Thief Gloves]
Level: Rare Magic Item (Blue Grade)
Description: A pair of black soft leather gloves tanned from the belly skin of a stalking leopard, thin as a cicada’s wings. The fingertips are woven with dense micro-light absorption fibers, and the palms have an embedded dexterity rune array.
Basic Enchantment Effect 1: Dexterous Fingertips, greatly enhances the wearer’s finger flexibility and stability, providing a significant boost in activities requiring precise operations like unlocking, dismantling traps, and pickpocketing. (Periodically allows the activation of a [Steal] skill to randomly steal an item from a target.)
Basic Enchantment Effect 2: Soundless Touch, absorbs most sounds produced by friction and collision when the wearer touches objects, making movements quieter.
Basic Enchantment Effect 3: Scent Concealment, masks the wearer’s residual palm scent.
Upon deciphering the Thief Gloves’ effects, everyone turned their gaze to Ying, as the item suited her perfectly.
Or rather, it would achieve the best effect in her hands, and wasn’t much use for the others.
Finally, there was the mysterious key emitting a purple light.
Possibly the greatest find of this expedition.
Gauss’s first contact with a purple-grade magical item.
Purple-grade items have already exceeded what ordinary adventurers can access; most of their effects are exceptionally powerful.
[Universal Key]
Level: Extraordinary Magic Item (Purple Grade)
Description: Capable of unlocking most locks and mechanisms, current usage count: 3/3
Compared to all other magical items Gauss has encountered, this purple-grade item has an extremely simple function description.
Moreover, according to its description, it has a limited number of uses, only 3 times.
As a purple-grade magic item, having usage limitations is indeed quite extravagant.
However, in critical moments, its function may far exceed the item’s intrinsic value.
Locks and mechanisms in this world are not as simple as physical constructs. Unless one finds the uniquely matching special key, they often rely on magic items like this.
Regarding professional skills for unlocking, they also cannot guarantee success against some special magic locks and mechanisms.
Gauss’s thoughts drifted upon seeing the Universal Key’s effect, recalling a location.
It was the mysterious cage-like green pavilion he encountered several months ago in the labyrinth outside Barry City.
At that time, he had no key and couldn’t enter it.
He wondered if the Universal Key could unlock the green pavilion’s lock.
But the labyrinth has temporarily closed, and verifying this hypothesis might take some time. He can only wait for the labyrinth to reopen and explore the second layer, hoping the labyrinth’s environment remains unchanged.
After thoroughly exploring the Petrified Bull’s nest, the group left the cavern, their rewards plentiful.
"It seems that it used to be inhabited by a wanderer, or a thief-like profession," Gauss couldn’t help speculating.
Observing the three items left in the cavern, they all share similar functional styles.
