Chapter 657: Chapter 429 Legendary Secret Treasure [Transformer’s Mask] Chapter 657 -429 Legendary Secret Treasure [Transformer’s Mask] Jade City, [Philip’s General Store],
Lis felt the unique matte texture in his hand and breathed a sigh of relief.
Indeed, this card had been in the shop for quite a while!
Without lingering, he casually picked a few odd-shaped items from a box before him and approached the owner lying behind the counter, asking,
“Boss, I’ll take these few items, how much are they?”
The blond elf glanced at Lis with a lazy eye, then returned his gaze back to the book in his hands.
“Ten gold coins each, fifty gold coins in total.”
Seeing that the owner had named a price, Lis stopped pretending.
After placing the gold coins on the counter, Lis walked straight out of [Philip’s General Store].
After Lis left the store, the elf Philip got up from his armchair and stretched languidly.
“Hah…”
Philip twisted his waist and with a casual wave collected the gold coins Lis had left on the counter.
“I didn’t expect that arcane card to be chosen by this human lad. He seems to know what it is.”
“Let me think, it must have been decades since that arcane card was last selected, right? I really wonder what he will get from it.”
Philip said somewhat gleefully, as this was his kind of fun.
At his age and level of power, even the most precious items within the arcane cards weren’t much to him.
He preferred the delight of hiding a few little surprises in his shop, waiting for others to discover them.
Apart from that arcane card, he had hidden four or five other little treasures around the shop, waiting to be found.
“So… where to hide this time?”
Philip shook his head and started wandering around the shop.
A flash of magic glowed in his hand as an arcane card with sparkling light appeared.
With a casual wipe across the card with his right hand, its luminance dimmed, covered in dust as if it had been forgotten in a corner for ages like the one Lis held.
“In the weapon pile? Too unoriginal.”
“Under the desk lamp? Seems like I’ve already done that a hundred years ago, right?”
“On the chandelier? No good, the ring I hid there before is still hanging…”
After some deliberation, Philip finally decided to tuck the arcane card between the pages of the book he was perusing.
“Hey, if someone discovers it, I wonder how they’ll try to buy it from me?”
Philip nodded his head, delightfully anticipating the possibility.
In a long life, one must find some amusement!
…
Once out of the store, Lis didn’t think that much about it.
He hadn’t expected it to go so smoothly!
Lis nodded slightly, stuffing the other trinkets he had into his storage ring.
Those items only looked somewhat like proper handcrafted goods, at most a bit more refined than usual, good for small gifts.
But the most precious was the [arcane card] in Lis’s hand!
Lis had once received a gift from King Feis, allowing him to choose an item from the Feis Royal Family’s treasure vault.
What Lis chose at that time was an undiscovered [Trial Card]!
The [Trial Card] held a special power that could form an enigmatic trial space, offering rewards to anyone who could pass through it.
Lis’s special skill [Mirror Body] was obtained from it, proving to be extremely useful for him.
Aside from consuming a considerable amount of magic power, the doppelgängers created by [Mirror Body] not only possess some combat ability but also appear extremely realistic, making it difficult to distinguish from the real one.
However, the [arcane card] in Lis’s hand was not the same as the [Trial Card] he had previously acquired. The origin of the [Trial Card] was unknown; it was speculated that it could be the legacy of a deity or some other existence.
But the origin of the [arcane card] was certain, it could even be considered a legacy from the magic empires of the Gaia World.
During the era of the Magic Empire, research into space magic was not deep enough.
At that time, magic equipment like space rings for storing items had not been developed.
Therefore, aside from those Legendary Mages who wielded tremendous power, the majority of mages faced the difficulty of carrying items on their person.
In those days, a Gold-Level Arcanist named Kawei developed a new space arcane to store items.
This arcane was called [Kawei’s Arcane Card]!
The principle was to compress a part of the space through special means and store the compressed space within specially crafted silver cards.
This method enabled the storage of items.
After the appearance of [Kawei’s Arcane Card], it was quickly popularized across the entire Magic Empire, and many mages used this arcane to store special items until more practical space spells were developed.
Many mages used [Kawei’s Arcane Card] to save items, and for various reasons, some were never opened.
After the fall of the Magic Empire, the silver cards that served as carriers for [Kawei’s Arcane Card] were often found in ruins and came to be simply known as [arcane cards].
In Lis’s hands lay an [arcane card] from countless ages past!
[Kawei’s Arcane Card] as an arcane had its limitations.
One was that the cost of creating an arcane card was high, so it was used to save more precious items at the time, and another drawback was that the arcane card was single-use; that is, once opened, the stored items would be released, with no way to revert it.
