As Isaac entered the cabin, he unconsciously closed his eyes.
There are so many treasures!
The light was a bit too bright!
The interior of the wooden house was very simple, consisting of four rows of four-story wooden shelves. If it weren't for the dazzling treasures displayed on them, no one would associate this place with the word "treasure trove"...
Looking at the dazzling array of treasures, Isaac once again marveled at the wealth of the Etra royal family. This was just a small treasury; they had an even larger treasury containing many more important treasures.
It has to be said that this country has really something to have managed to survive until now.
But no matter how many tricks you have, you're finished now. So, in this world, fists are the only truth!
After a few moments of reflection, Isaac entered the treasure vault and began selecting his spoils. Normally, this should have been done after everything was over, because Mensa had signed some trade agreements with other factions to prevent the big shots from overturning the table.
In other words, some of the treasures here already have owners.
However, Isaac and his group still have some special privileges. They can choose a few treasures first, and if there is a conflict, they can simply say that they don't have any. Who knows if they really don't have any?
Of course, you can't take too much; just a small amount, and no one will say anything, nor will they dare to say anything.
Walking among the treasures, Isaac wasn't dazzled by their colorful lights. Instead, he diligently searched for what he needed: the Kaleidoscope Eye, the Time Page, and the Witch's Memory...
Actually, the third item should have been the Witch's Proof, which could have helped Rona quickly advance to the rank of Great Witch. Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned, and he ended up staying here much longer than he expected. The war wasn't over even after Rona had already become a Great Witch.
Therefore, it is not appropriate to ask for the Witch's Token now. Of course, the Witch's Token also has a good effect on the Great Witch, but it is obviously not as good as the Witch's Memory. This thing can simulate the fluctuations when a witch ascends, allowing the witch to obtain a magic from her bloodline again.
This is extremely valuable for a witch who relies on a single type of magic as the core of her tactics.
The only downside is that this thing is only effective for second-tier and lower-tier witches. High-tier witches already have a considerable degree of control over their own bloodline, and even without the Witch's Memory, they can still discover new magic from their bloodline.
Soon, Isaac found his target—the Kaleidoscope Eye.
This thing was contained in a small box. Before it was transplanted and activated, it was just a stone eyeball, but it shimmered with seven colors.
After confirming that the item was genuine, Isaac put it away with satisfaction. He could start the transplantation process when he got back, and then, with the help of this transaction ritual with the Lord of Billions of Flesh and Blood, he would complete the first stage of his cultivation as a Great Wizard.
During this time, while developing his privileged magic, Isaac also took the time to have another magical organ transplanted into himself.
This time, he transplanted the vocal cords of the legendary white whale... its descendant, which has two effects: first, it can emit psychedelic sounds with the attribute of "mystery," and second, it enhances the effects of all spells containing incantations, especially the latter, which is quite useful.
Although his current main combat magic basically doesn't involve spells, and it's foreseeable that it won't in the future, since chanting spells during battle is unnecessary...
That's a bit too much trouble.
However, it's only useless in battle. It's a completely different story in experiments. He not only doesn't lack the time for chanting, but he also uses a lot of basic spells to assist in many experiments. When combined with his cheat ability, the effect is not as simple as 1+1.
Of course, most importantly, it has the attribute of being "mysterious"!
Isaac's future organ transplants will basically all be in this direction; the strength or weakness of a single organ is not important, but the system is the most important.
After finding the Kaleidoscope Eye, Isaac also found the Time Page that Angel needed and the Witch's Memory that Rona needed. In addition, he also took two Tier 3 Dragon Hearts and five bottles of pale gold Dragon Blood, since nobody wanted those anyway.
Well, at least the list didn't reach Isaac's hands, which means nobody wanted it!
After collecting his spoils, Isaac left the hut and didn't go anywhere else. He just stood in the square, watching Hamon clean up the endless stream of androids being created there.
Although the ongoing war has led Isaac to speculate that the powerful figures are waiting for him to successfully conduct the ceremony before ending the war, it remains just speculation.
He didn't intend to act rashly before receiving accurate information; he wanted to be cautious and get the offerings sorted out first.
As for the grand treasure trove...
Who cares? Anyway, he can't skim oil from it now. He can always find another one later. Besides, there's still Philo, isn't there?
The Kingdom of Itra is currently not capable of much resistance, and she can sweep through it very quickly. After she finishes, she can go find something else.
And so, time slowly passed...
Soon, another month passed, and Isaac finally converted all one million units of energy from the crystal ball into androids and killed them all.
At the same time, Filo led his puppet army to occupy the entire Kingdom of Etra. Yes, puppet army.
Half a month ago, after confirming that there was no decent resistance force within Etra, she directly eliminated all her androids and replaced them all with puppets.
It's worth mentioning that during this month, while Philo was busy conquering and governing Etra, she was not idle in other aspects either. For example, she found the great treasure trove of the Etra royal family!
Unlike Isaac, she not only lacks the ability to "analyze," but also has insufficient knowledge of magical barriers, so she has failed to break through the magical barrier of the Great Treasury and remains outside to this day.
She didn't dare to launch a forced attack, because the barriers surrounding these treasure vaults usually have an automatic destruction mechanism; if she tried to break through them, the contents inside would be destroyed.
Of course, given the quality of those treasures inside, they might not actually be able to be destroyed.
But that's a treasure trove!
Who dares to bet?
Even a small loss is enough to make people feel bad, so although Philo was unwilling, he could only resume the country's administration while waiting for Isaac's work to be completed.
……
"This is the Great Treasury!" Isaac exclaimed in amazement as he looked at the towering adamantite gate before him. He had already been quite surprised by the previous treasury, which was made of pure adamantite.
But this thing in front of us is even more damn amazing!
In addition to the adamantite, it was also covered with a large number of defensive enchantments. Moreover, besides the outer adamantite door, he could also sense a special magical alloy inside. Although he didn't know what kind of magical alloy it was, Isaac could feel its mountain-like weight.
You can tell this thing is not simple without even looking at it.
"Can it be cracked?" Philo looked at Isaac and asked with a mixture of helplessness and resentment.
"It's alright, but a bit troublesome," Isaac said, stroking his chin.
For some reason, hearing Isaac's words, Philo felt a sense of relief. It was good that there was some trouble. Although she had given up on comparing herself to Isaac, she was still young and it was impossible for her not to want to compete.
but……
Just as Philo was thinking this, he saw Isaac begin to break the magical barrier of the Great Treasury!
"Wait! Didn't you say it was a bit troublesome?!" Philo stared at Isaac in disbelief.
"It is a bit troublesome. Didn't you notice that I've looked at it several times?" Isaac said matter-of-factly as he dispelled the magic barrier.
Philo: "...You dog!"
Isaac shrugged helplessly. That's why people just can't stand hearing the truth.
"Squeak~"
In no time, Isaac completely dispelled all the magical barriers, and with a push of his hand, the tall adamantite gate opened wide!
In an instant, a rich aura of treasure swept over them. Isaac and Philo stood there dumbfounded; what was inside was truly...
This is beyond their imagination!
Chapter 190 Rona: Are you being polite?
Upon opening the door, one is greeted by crystal balls radiating powerful and mysterious magical energy. These are Demon-Sealing Spheres, treasures specifically designed to preserve valuable items, reaching a tier three!
In other words, even the boxes containing them are all third-tier treasures!
You can imagine how good the stuff inside must be!
Isaac and Philo exchanged a glance, both sharing the same thought—they've struck it rich!
Yes, it's a windfall. Even after removing the treasures sold to other factions, the remaining number of treasures is still quite considerable. Moreover, this transaction was orchestrated by the Archmage Mensa, who is extremely knowledgeable and experienced, making it virtually impossible for anyone to snag a bargain. Furthermore, he wouldn't sell off anything truly important.
But the next moment, Isaac's face darkened slightly, because he suddenly realized that he could only get a portion of the treasures inside, and only a small portion at that!
Otherwise, whatever the Kingdom of Etra is like now, that's exactly what Isaac will be like then!
You have to understand, Itra has a fourth-tier Miracle Knight. If even such a powerful being has ended up like this, how much better can he be?
The saying "A common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime" applies to any world.
"Sigh~" Looking at the dazzling array of treasures, Isaac couldn't help but let out a heavy sigh.
At first, Philo was a little curious about why Isaac sighed, but then she understood and looked at him with a sympathetic look.
Although she could only obtain a portion of the treasures here, and the rest had to be sent back to the capital and stored in the Terra Treasury, she was still a member of the Terra royal family. She could ask for anything she wanted and withdraw it at any time; it was just that the items wouldn't stay with her for very long.
But it's different for Isaac; if he takes it, he really will die!
Isaac stood there silently for a while, then immediately turned and left. What a load of crap! The more he looked, the more annoyed he became. He was leaving!
Philo looked at Isaac with more sympathy, then turned and went into the vault to begin taking inventory of the treasures. Isaac was distressed, but she wasn't. On the contrary, because of Isaac's distress, she found a bit of pleasure in the process of taking inventory.
Stepping out of the vault, Isaac leaped into the air, summoning a gust of wind, and sped towards Roton Fortress. The matter with Etra was almost resolved, and it was time to conclude this part of the story.
All that's left is to complete the transaction ceremony. However, the transaction ceremony still needs some adjustments. After all, there's too much energy contained now, so the previous ceremony was definitely not suitable. Even though he reserved some space beforehand, it was just the result of calculations.
The actual situation is definitely different.
Not long after, enveloped by a gust of wind, Isaac arrived at Roton Fortress and saw Rona standing on the fortress tower, looking around warily.
Isaac landed next to Lorna, looking speechless: "What are you doing?"
"Phew~" Seeing that it was Isaac who landed, Rona, who had been on guard, immediately breathed a sigh of relief. "It's you! You scared me to death... I was on guard. What if there were enemies?"
Seeing Lorna's matter-of-fact expression, Isaac paused for a moment and said, "You are a spellcaster. You can use spellcaster methods to set up some monitoring spells, instead of simply enhancing your eyesight and looking like this!"
"But...but...but the monitoring spell will be discovered. It's more convenient to just look directly."
"..." Isaac looked at Rona speechlessly, "You... have you forgotten that with Angel's magic, intruders will definitely be detected by the monitoring spell, regardless of your spell level."
Lorna paused for a moment, then asked with a look of surprise, "Uh... really?"
"Sigh..." Isaac sighed heavily. Sure enough, simply imparting knowledge was useless. It seemed that it still had to be combined with practice. However, this could be done slowly. Given her current state, Isaac was really worried about letting her go out to fight on her own. Just like imparting knowledge, he would first research a privilege magic to give her some experience.
"Never mind, we'll talk about that later. Has anyone attacked this place recently?"
'From now on…' Lorna narrowed her eyes; her intuition told her this wasn't going to be good! However, she usually couldn't refuse Isaac's decisions, especially those made under the guise of being for her own good…
Although it was indeed for her own good...
"They appeared at first, then disappeared. But they were all second-tier Grand Knights, and we defeated them without much effort. They seem... a bit weak?" Rona tilted her head in confusion.
Isaac shook his head and said, "It's not that they're too weak, it's that you've become stronger. Let's go and see the ceremony."
"Oh, okay? Huh? Can I come along?" Rona pointed to herself with a confused look on her face.
"Of course, I've been training you as my assistant. What, you think you can just freeload off me?" Isaac asked, somewhat surprised.
"Assistant...me? Can I do it?" Rona asked, feeling both touched and worried.
After all, she knew her own situation best. She had to admit that she really didn't have any talent in magical research, and wasn't Liuli already helping her?
