ลำดับตอนที่ #2 : Chapter 2: Hundreds of Billions of Treasures

When Arendrell looked out, he seemed to find only tall things everywhere .      But there was nothing that looked familiar or made the young man guess at all.      When he saw no other living creature or anything that could move except himself.

Arendelle slowly walked along the wall and approached the nearest soft white object that he could see from within the darkness. To check what exactly it is      He could see that they were at about the same height as him, not too high, and there were many of them filling the dark room.

As he approached it, he slowly put his hand up to touch and caress its skin.      The young man found that it was a large, round, white crystal that gently resembled a beautiful pearl...

“This is... impossible... ”

Perfect !!

“This is the Eternal Night Pearl Magic Crystal ! Why does this mysterious place have such rare and valuable items ?! ” Arendelle loudly exclaimed.

The young man was so shocked that his eyes widened after he simply flicked his fingers lightly, causing a slight noise. But it caused the crystal embedded in the two meter high wall in front of him to radiate a bright light, destroying the darkness in the entire area. Then make the space within this place more clearly visible.

Crystal, eternal night pearl magic It is a special type of rare magic crystal. that could still be used and given light even without the addition of ' magic energy ' or ' mana ' after hundreds of years had passed. Its simplicity of use and rarity makes it priced at more than 1,000 gold or 10,000,000 bronze per piece on the market.

Its exorbitant price and almost unprecedented rarity      Therefore, only some merchants or wealthy people could possess magical objects like this to use only as decorations to show their status. But it should actually be used to create a magic wand or magic sphere to be considered suitable and able to display its magical value to the greatest extent possible.

Due to the power of magic There were many within the Eternal Pearl Magic Crystal.      This makes it an ideal magical object for making magical equipment such as magical weapons or magical gems to decorate armor. or most magic robes

But because of the sorcerers or sorcerers within the city of Venice, including Never Earth There are only a small number of these places. As a result, not many people were able to use this magical crystal to its fullest potential.

But if it's a light crystal or general magic crystal Using it would require replenishing magic energy every 1-2 months, which was extremely cumbersome. If it weren't for a merchant family or a magician's guild that already had magicians within it, Usually, no one would use those magic items that were not that cheap, so most people on this magical Never Earth chose to use torches or oil lamps. more normal

Even an orphan like Arendelle couldn't understand why there was magic on Never Earth.      But it is a mysterious or magical thing that is difficult to see that anyone can use it. Especially those magicians or sorcerers that he had only encountered a few times since his birth.

But that also made him understand how shocking it was to have these special magical crystals in one's private residence.      Especially within this secret place beneath Venezia, there was such a valuable magical crystal preserved.

Moreover, its installation within the wall as if it were to be used only as a general lighting device, as if its value was comparable to that of an ordinary torch, made Arendelle. It was so painful to leave it there that he wanted to pry it off the wall and sell it so that the people of Never Earth would know its true value.

But Arendelle tried to remind himself to wipe up the saliva that had spilled down. and keep your own greed aside for the time being      Because of this strange place      If there were even an Eternal Pearl Magic Crystal to serve as a lamp to illuminate the interior of this place. This place should. There will definitely be some more special features preserved. Or maybe there was a trap or something set up.      As a result, Arendelle remained cautious and did not destroy this place yet...

Arendelle turned around and surveyed the great hall.      He discovered that it was actually a giant ancient library built into a huge space, two floors high, connected by a large spiral staircase. There is an old wooden bookshelf filled with hundreds of thousands of old books, carefully preserved. Or if you look at it from another angle, it's like a large ancient mansion that was secretly built beneath the city all along but has never been discovered...

Because Arendelle noticed the thick layer of dust that he rubbed with his slender hand until the fine dust particles were all over his hand.      This made him guess that this place had probably not had life or people return for more than tens or hundreds of years. But with its greatness      Arendelle almost Never had I seen a place that looked so magical and majestic.

When he tried to pick up a book on those tall wooden bookshelves and read it...

Arendelle found that... In fact, it was a book almost entirely related to magic. Whether it is the history of ancient magic history Never Earth From the past, the era of the creation of the stars, to the era of the ' Three Species War ' between angels, demons, and Nephilim , from more than two thousand two hundred years ago when Arendelle calculated the number of years until the present.

Including a book about it. magic theory Various magic spells and magical powers are available in abundance. This was something that made Arendelle extremely happy.

Since Arendelle was only an orphan      Over the years since he can remember, he lost his parents 10 years ago due to a rampage. And the demons invaded the city until his parents were brutally murdered by the demons. Only a 4-year-old child like him was hiding in the house's secret underground room. Thus being able to escape from the sharp fangs of the demons at that time.

But despite being able to survive      And inside the city now it will be much safer.      But Arendelle, who became a poor child, had to live a difficult life in the big city. That wealth and other factors are a big factor in living. No matter how hard he tries to find a job, no one will accept the small, shabby child who shouldn't be able to do any hard work. In the end,      A cute boy becomes a homeless boy who has to do whatever it takes to survive.      No matter how bad it was, Arendelle didn't want to do it.

But... The terrifying sight of the cruelty his parents had endured from the demons they had killed was terrifying. It has become a lasting image, etched into the child's wonderful memories that cannot be forgotten. No matter how much he wanted to forget it, he couldn't.      Even when he was asleep, Arendelle still had nightmares, sometimes showing images of those cruel memories.
