2723 Resource Of Origin
Note: The Privilege now has 50% off.
“Father, take this,” said Nero and threw another treasure at me, which is three times of side. It is a smooth square black rock with a burst amethyst around it, it looked quite beautiful, but it is also extremly useless, especially to a water elemental who will pay an arm and a leg for it.
It had been six hours since I had come to this place, and I was far from tired, I was already using less energy before being alone, and after Nero came out, the expenditure had lessened even more since he would bring out all the treasures and warned of the danger.
I should have brought him out from the beginning; it would have saved me a lot of energy and time and helped me find more treasures and resources.
I am getting a lot of extremly rare resources, but I did not get the books that I had been hoping for, which has made me a little disappointed.
I really wanted to have books, and since the lord of this place specializes in bones, I was hoping to get a few books on the bones. It would have really helped me a lot with my inheritance and project.
The data is extremly important, and while constant research continued to provide me a treasure trove of it, I need something more. The research done by the powerful powerhouses, they can see much more than I could and have a long vision.
I wish I could have the Hermes library with it; I wouldn’t have had to constantly search for the books everywhere for my research.
That place was filled with books, so many books that even in my lifetime, I wouldn’t be able to read through all of them; even when I brought the book into my core, and I am only talking around the first floor, there are many floors to the library containing many books.
I have found many books here, but all of them were damaged, and one had even crumbled to dust under my fingers.
I was really hoping I would find some books here and still do; it will help me a lot if I find a few good books.
Nero was walking in front of me when suddenly, he stopped and seeped inside the ground like he had done many times; he is doing that means he had found good.
So, I waited, but soon a worried frown couldn’t help but appear on my face seeing him not coming back, even after half a minute. I was about to call him when the earth moved, and Nero came back with a small glass jar between his cute reindeer horns.
“Father, careful; the thing inside feels extremly dangerous,” said Nero, and it couldn’t help but turn my expression serious.
Till now, Nero had found many things, some of them were very dangerous, and despite that, he never gave me a warning about them, until now.
“I will be careful,” I said to him before taking the jar from his horns with my strings.
The glass jar is a mason jar and is covered in clay; I used my strings to clean it and found a single white flower inside the jar. A white orchid, looking fresh like it had been plucked and placed into the bottle not long ago, there was no sign that the flower was a few thousand years old.
Hun!
“What is this flower ?” I asked myself, which looked nothing different than the white orchid; seeing that, I decided to use my soul sense to investigate it, and to my surprise, I saw it was repelled by the jar.
If it had been common soul sense, I wouldn’t have been surprised, but this is soul sense mixed with the rule-bending power which would be able to seep through most anything, but this bottle had repelled it.
Earlier, I was only interested in it because Nero said it was dangerous, but now I am curious. I want to know what this flower is which requires such protection.
With that thought, I increased rule-bending power into my soul sense and still got repelled, but that did not stop me as I continued to increse the power, and finally, when the percentage of rule-bending power had reached a whopping 70%, my soul sense seeped inside, but only slightly.
Seeing that, I did not stop and continued to increse the amount of rule-bending power in the soul sense; with it, the soul sense seeped deeper and deeper inside the bottle.
Finally, when the rule-bending power had 81% in the soul sense, a small tendril of it broke out and touched the flower, the moment it did, an utter horror appeared on my face, and the soul sense touched the flower, burned into the crisp.
Thankfully, I was able to break my connection with the soul sense before it could harm me.
“Black Sun Orchid, I had never expected I would find a resource of origin,” I said and sighed. This alone is worth coming here.
I have received the harvest of millennia; it is a supreme treasure of the level we are searching for to heal the Grand Commander. It is extremly powerful, so much that if a Grand Lord were to touch it carelessly, they would be burned to death, and no defensive method would be useful against it.
I wish this treasure had been earth elemental or crystal elemental in nature; it would have helped in healing the Grand Commander.
I shook my head and once again looked at a flower, or rather the jar holding it; with the flower being organic and its level, it shouldn’t exist in this ruin, considering the level of ruin is only High-Grandmaster, but this jar isolated from the world itself, so it did not get discovered.
The most amazing thing about the jar is that it did not have any formation; it protected the flower inside with just its natural abilities, which made it a grand treasure itself.
