Earth's Greatest Magus

Chapter 1221: Rich

The seal that barred Emery and the others from accessing Lyanaʼs storage ring was finally opened, and the moment Klea sent her consciousness to peer inside, the first thing that attracted her attention was a huge construct that occupied almost all of the storage ring space.

A five-meter long, narrow-looking black spaceship – a [Revenant-class] spaceship.

”A ship!?”

Flabbergasted by her discovery, she swiftly took the spaceship out. The ship appeared in the middle of the hall. Emery and friends of course immediately tried to access the ship, but their efforts were in vain.

Seeing the unbudging ship, Klea cast her eyes at the shadow figure once again. Knowing what the gaze meant, the female magus swiftly terminated her mark of ownership on the spaceship, leaving it free for anyone to claim.

”Thank you.”

It was no doubt the smallest ship the group had ever seen. It was a personal, one man craft with hyperdrive capability that was supposed to be the magusʼ live saving item for escape.

It was definitely a fine looking ship, Unfortunately, itʼs an elven ship and it would be very dangerous to be used in human space.

After the spaceship was taken out, Klea scoured the storage ring and then took out five high-grade artifacts. Amongst them, one that emanated the most intense aura was a dark red, root-like rod – a magic staff for casting magic. In an instant, the entire place roared at the revelation of the artifact.

”A Tier 6 magic staff!”

[Ifrit Veins]

[Length: 1,2 meters; Weight: 21 kilograms]

A fire element magic staff, one that was worthy to be held even for a grand magus.

Both Julian and Thrax attempted to hold onto the Tier 6 artifact as the two of them possessed the fire element affinity. However, they could not last much longer than a few seconds against the scorching heat that it constantly emitted.

With both of them having no prior experience in using magic staff while Klea, unfortunately, had no affinity in the fire element, the group came into a decision to auction the precious artifact despite their reluctance.

”We should be able to get a few millions from selling it..”

Other than the five artifacts, the group also found a bag filled with 20 red spirit stones, which was worth about 200,000, and 10 silver-colored crystals that gleamed beautifully in the light. These crystals were what is known as the Spirit Gem.

They were high-value monetary items of the elves. Each was worth more or less twenty red spirit stones, which meant that the group had another 2 million worth of spirit stones in their hands.

Other than several potions, similar to the one Emery took from the other magus, the last unique item in the ring was a palm-sized metal emblem with an engraving of flaming crescent. This was the crest of the family Lyana originated from, the Darkmoon family.

Seeing the crest of her family, Lyana furrowed her brows. ”That emblem is of no value to you” the dark elf magus said with a hint of irritation in her voice. ”You can take all the others, I donʼt care. Just keep the end of your bargain!”

Those were the last words the female dark elf magus said before the Sage took the metal emblem from Kleaʼs hands and created a formation by dripping his blood on the emblem, using it as an anchor to restrain the magus soul within. After that, he gave the emblem back to the group.

”The formation I put in place will be able to help conceal her presence. Not only that, this way all of you can talk to her using your Spirit Reading, without being detected by others.”

Releasing a captured elven soul was definitely not something the Magus Alliance endorsed to its vassals. Hence it was better for the group not to walk around with such a dangerous soul let loose.

After holding a small discussion, the group decided Emery to be the one to keep the emblem. The reason was simple; because he was the only one who could use the void magic that was very useful for restraining the soul in case of unwanted and unexpected things.

With that said, right now the group just needed to wait for a reply from the Darkmoon family regarding the details of the exchange. This process would most likely take a few days, especially if they didnʼt agree with the terms of the meeting. ꞦаΝỔ𝔟Ё𝙨

They were after all at war with the other side, and thus no harm in being more careful.

The group just hope it could be done before they return to earth, or it might have to be left for the grand magus or Izta to deal with it later.

With nothing else can be done for this matter, the group decided to put it aside for now.

”5 million spirit stones! Thatʼs a lot of money!” Thrax was unable to hide his excitement at their impending fortune.

If sold, the Revenant spaceship was estimated to be priced at one million, plus the artifacts and the spirit stones, the group had just obtained for themselves another incredible fortune worth 10 million spirit stones.

At this moment, Emery also handed over the 525,000 spirit stones he got from selling the looted potions while Klea took out the 600,000 from selling the other elven spirit soul to the Magus Alliance headquarters.

Looking at the abundance of spirit stones, the three boys were still dumbstruck even though they had prepared their hearts for it.

”Wow, we are rich!!” said the Thracian, smiling broadly.

In fact, this was such a great wealth that even the Eastern Sage who was a grand magus himself could not say to have accumulated such wealth in his entire life.

It was at this moment that Julian shared important information with the group. His words swiftly caught the attention of Emery and the others.

”So, Iʼve been thinking about what Senior Fuxi had previously said about saving this money for our actual battle. After asking around, with the spirit stones we have, I found the best way to strengthen ourselves.”

Julian showed the information he had gathered via a holographic screen that came from the cube box. The screen displayed the rotating image of a certain dark planet covered with some kind of a geomagnetic storm. However, behind the veil of chaos, on the planetʼs surface lie the vestige of a missing civilization, now noted in the Magus Alliance database as [Ancient Celestial Ruins].

Just as its name suggested, the place was a special location in the human universe to seek the hidden powers of the celestials.

Seeing that his findings had piqued the interest of Emery and the others, Julian excitedly explained further.

”This is the most sought after place to train for newly ascended magus, as it allows one to gain a great deal of comprehension of the Laws.”

This information certainly made them all excited at the prospect of increasing their understanding of their respective Laws afterall, they all knew that the comprehension of the Law will be the next challenge and the way to catching on against the Kronosʼs champions.

Seeing their reactions, Julian quickly moved on to the most important part, ”This ruin is only accessible once every thirty years, and the next opening is in 7 years. So I personally think we should save some of our wealth to buy entry to the place. What do you guys think?”

In other words, what Julian proposed was for all of them to reach the magus realm in seven years, where they would then go to this place together to further strengthen and consolidate their strength. Naturally, they were all without exception very happy with the idea, until they heard the price of the entry ticket.

”Itʼs one million spirit stones per person.”

Thrax nodded and with a strained smile, he said, ”Magus realm in 7 years and one million spirit stones… No big deal!”

The three others understood what the Thracianʼs smile meant, as Thrax was the one who would have the most difficulty breaking through into the magus realm.

When everyone appeared to be in agreement, the Sage added his thoughts.

”That place is really a good choice to speed up your progress after entering the magus realm. However, to enter, you will also need a letter of recommendation, proving that you are worthy to enter the place”

The recommendation letter had to come from grand magus figures, and one grand magus could only provide one person with the letter.

With only one grand magus among them, it will certainly become a problem. Julian however has prepared the answer,

”I have confirmed that if we manage to score a high ranking on the Magus Academy exam, we could get a recommendation from the academy”

Everyone came to an agreement to set the Ancient Celestial Ruins as their goal. With this new resolution, Emery only became even more fired up, looking forward to starting his training right away.
