Chapter 87: Chapter 86: Trial Card!
“Then you pick one yourself!”
When Lis heard the King say these words, he was somewhat stunned.
Pick by myself, what does that mean?
Fusis glanced at Lis and reminded him:
“His Majesty the King has allowed you to choose a treasure from the Royal Palace Treasure Vault by yourself; this is His Majesty’s affection toward you, you should thank him quickly.”
Only then did Lis come to his senses and hurriedly bowed to Morton.
...
Wow, to let oneself enter the Royal Treasury and pick at will—it was a kingdom’s treasure trove, even picking just one item was a tremendous gift.
Why is the king so generous?
Morton looked at the handsome young man in front of him and said with a deep meaning:
“You’ll have to take extra care of Taya from now on.”
After speaking, he did not wait for Lis to respond, waved his hand, and had a servant take Lis to the Royal Palace Treasure Vault.
…
After Lis left, Morton Fis fell silent for a while and then spoke to Fusis with interest:
“Our Viscount Kane is quite interesting.”
“Yes, he is a clever, rational, and somewhat cunning young man.”
Fusis continued cheerfully:
“How come we never noticed him before.”
“Haha, it shows that the two of us are getting old and our eyesight isn’t what it used to be.”
King seemed in good spirits too, seemingly reminiscing about the times he and Fusis had strived together in their youth.
“Roel, what do you think?”
As the King asked, a shadow slowly emerged from the wall beside them, apparently the King’s personal guard.
“He seems to have a layer of gray fog around him, I cannot see through it, but based on his aura, he should already be at the Silver Rank.”
“Oh? You can’t see the truth or falsehood.”
Morton was slightly surprised; he knew well what skills Roel possessed, hinting that Lis must have high-level protective items or equipment.
“An eighteen-year-old at the Silver Level? Although not as exceptional as Taya, he is still quite impressive.”
Fusis, sensing something, asked tentatively:
“Are you thinking of…?”
His Majesty the King bowed his head in thought for a moment and finally shook his head and sighed:
“Let’s not, Taya already feels distant from me, best let her make her own decisions on this matter.”
Fusis nodded, inwardly sighing.
Arsen is a good child, but just too headstrong.
Even after hinting several times, he remains indifferent; now it seems like there’s not much hope left.
That’s what Fusis thought, but he had no ill intentions towards Lis; unnecessarily making an enemy was not the style of the Hade family.
Moreover, Fusis was beginning to feel that Viscount Kane was not as harmless as he appeared.

Meanwhile, Lis followed the servant, continuously heading deeper into the castle.
Looking at it, it seemed that the Royal Treasury should be right beneath the castle.
However, Lis was not harboring any ulterior motives in observing these.
Jokingly, even without mentioning the protection outside the Royal Palace and the Legendary Monks, just the dense early warning and trap magic arrays in the castle—legendary thieves might not pass through smoothly!
Following the servant, when they reached the castle’s lowest level, a door made of a blackish metal appeared in front of Lis.
When Lis and the servant entered, this heavy door rumbled open to both sides.
Could there be an entity similar to the Tower Spirit covertly controlling it?
Lis speculated, but he did not see the servant make any move to open the door.
—————
“Lord Lis, please!”
The servant bowed and stood aside to guide Lis through the door.
“His Majesty the King has instructed that you may take one treasure from here. I will not go in, please take your time to choose.”
“You can only take one, remember, greed cannot hide here.”
The servant reminded Lis, then moved aside and fell silent.
Lis nodded at him, reminding himself that someone was secretly watching, and not to take more than allowed.
Without further thought, Lis entered the grand door of the treasure vault and was immediately blinded by the dazzling light of treasures.
In the vast hall, mountains of gold coins were just the most ordinary items here, and even the magic gems, usually extremely rare and precious, were common here.
Countless rare materials, and within a glance, Lis noticed the extremely conspicuous Red Dragon Claw and Bimong’s fur.
Sets of magic equipment were displayed around, shimmering with Spirit Light, none of which were ordinary; furthermore, many pieces emitted the fluctuations of Divine Arts from the Church of the Gods.
However, in the midst of many weapons and equipment, there was a weapon stand that looked like it had once held a longsword, but it had now been taken.
After a brief tour around the kingdom’s treasury, Lis had only one thought:
Wealth, too much wealth!
So this is the accumulation and foundation of the Feis Dynasty?
Lis was certain that what he saw was not everything, and the most precious treasures wouldn’t be here for him to choose from.
Not to mention anything else, at least Lis had not seen any Legendary Level magic items or equipment.
Thinking that such Legendary items, although extremely rare and precious, wouldn’t have a few accumulated in the Feis Kingdom was unbelievable to Lis.
Probably they were put away.
Lis mused, and also found Morton’s last statement a bit odd—perhaps he was overthinking.
Shaking his head to dismiss those thoughts, Lis focused his attention on the treasures in front of him.
After a cursory look, Lis frowned, unable to find anything that suited his heart’s desire.
Lis was looking for something that could effectively enhance his Spell Power.
As for equipment and weapons, those present were merely Gold Level, not much better than Lis’s Jade Wand and Jade Talisman, so they were not worth considering.
Other magic gems, high-level materials, Lis currently had no direct ability to use them, so he had to painfully give them up.
Gold Coins?
Unless Lis could take away all the gold coins in the treasure vault, there was truly no big temptation.
That left only… these things?
Lis turned his gaze to the items piled up on the right side of the vault.
This assortment of items, emitting different magical lights, must be the collection of Magic Items from the Royal Treasury.
The Shadow Talisman that Lis had gotten from Joyce was also a type of Magic Item, albeit an extremely powerful one.
Lis didn’t expect to get a Magic Item of the same level as the Shadow Talisman; he would be very pleased to obtain a relatively powerful one.
Lis thus began rummaging through them to check.
Suddenly, among the gleaming magical items, Lis saw a grayish box, devoid of any magical luminescence.
Lis was curious, as something so ordinary-looking, yet placed in the vault, ought to be far from simple.
He reached out to pick up the box, gently opened it, and a pure black card lay quietly inside.
Holding the card in his hand and inspecting it thoroughly, a look of joy appeared on Lis’s face.
Unexpectedly, there was one placed here.
Such a great find!
Fondling the special texture on the card, Lis whispered to himself:
Trial Card!
