Angor looked at the display case curiously.
The surface of the case seemed to be made of some kind of special crystal shell that could block spirit power.
He noticed this because he saw some strange patterns on the blue velvet cloth. However, they seemed to have disappeared after a brief moment of distraction. Since he couldn't see clearly, he tried to use his spirit power to check the case, but it didn't work.
Since that was the case, Angor decided to ask about it.
"What's this?"
Angor looked at Jota.
Jota chuckled and explained, "This is a 'spirit display case'. Its outer shell is made of 'Green Spirit – Spirituality Specialization'. This kind of crystal shell can block all spirituality detection. "
Spirituality was a general term used by idealistic powers in the Mirror Realm. Spirit power was also a part of spirituality.
The original effect of the Green Spirit was that it had a natural resistance against the power of spirits and ghosts. In terms of its rarity, it was only a Level 1 treasure. But now, with the addition of the term "Spiritual Specialization", it immediately changed and became a Level 3 treasure at the very least.
The fact that this display case was made of level-3 treasures was more than enough proof of its rarity.
Jota pointed at the display case and continued, "As for the blue velvet display case inside, you can think of it as a small teleportation platform —"
Before Jota could finish, the blue velvet cloth inside the display case began to emit a faint light.
The light came from a certain array on the cloth.
Angor took a closer look and saw that it was an "old acquaintance" of his.
It was the Electric Hexagram.
In the crystal castle, anything related to the Electric Hexagram represented teleportation or spatial abilities.
Clearly, there was a teleportation array set up on the blue velvet cloth.
The pattern he saw earlier was probably the same one.
Jota looked at the glowing hexagram and continued, "I don't think I need to tell you what it does.
The teleportation array on the display case is connected to all level-4 treasures in the Hall of Attendants.
If you want to see the level-4 treasures, you can use it to transfer the treasures in the attendants' hands to the display case. "
As Jota said this, the various glowing items in the hands of the attendants also emitted spatial fluctuations, as if responding to Jota's words.
Angor sighed in relief. "It's much easier to teleport here than crawling on a servant's body."
"Crawl into a servant's body?" Jota chuckled. "You can't come into contact with the servants here. Once you come into contact with them, it will automatically be deemed as a provocation. The servants will also start hunting you down."
In other words, if he wanted to view or obtain a Level 4 treasure, he could only use the Spirit Ability Display Cabinet.
Angor showed a look of understanding.
Come to think of it, the servants were just robots after all. It was very difficult for them to determine whether the person they came into contact with had malicious intentions.
Therefore, he decided to treat them equally. As long as they came into contact with them, he would start hunting them down.
But then again, all the level 4 treasures here were connected to the Psionic Ability Display Cabinet. If someone with evil intentions knew about this, wouldn't that mean that as long as they controlled the Psionic Ability Display Cabinet, they would have a chance to decipher and obtain all the level 4 treasures?
Jota spoke again.
"By the way, the Psionic Ability Display Cabinet can only teleport three treasures per day. This is to prevent people from taking the treasures with malicious intentions."
Angor understood what was going on.
If he could think of a loophole, the Crystaleye Race's wise men would surely have thought of it.
Their solution was simple. They simply restricted the Psionic Ability Display Cabinet's teleportation limit to three treasures per day. This meant that even if someone ran into a criminal, they would only lose three treasures at most.
This solution was similar to a gecko abandoning its tail. Angor, however, had a hard time as a visitor.
He was planning to see a few more level 4 treasures to broaden his horizons.
But now, he could only see three treasures. And one of them had to be the Book of Stars, which meant he could only see two treasures.
Angor considered and looked at Jota. "How many level 4 treasures are there in total? What are the effects of each one? "
Angor considered. He couldn't see the real treasures, but knowing their effects was still a good idea.
However, Jota gave him a less than ideal answer. "So far, the Hall of Attendants has collected 93 level 4 treasures. Currently, 12 treasures have been loaned out. So, there are 81 treasures in the Hall of Attendants.
"According to the contract we made when we first built it, I can only tell you the name of each of the 81 treasures. As for the specific effects, you have to find a way to obtain them yourself."
Angor: "???" Only the names? Not the effects? Why did you set up such a strange rule?
And didn't you tell me about the effects of the Book of Stars?
Jota saw Angor's confusion and explained, "Because not all of the treasures here belong to the Crystaleye Race. Many of them were donated by the Crystaleye Race, and some were even loaned here temporarily."
Some of the treasures were loaned to the Crystaleye Race because these treasures were too precious to be safe in their hands. Thus, they lent them to the Crystaleye Race.
For the Crystaleye Race, loaning treasures to the Crystaleye Race could not only ensure the safety of the treasures, but also gain a lot of benefits from the Crystaleye Race. If the Crystaleye Race was strong enough to protect the treasures, they could simply ask the Crystaleye Race to return the treasures.
As for the Crystaleye Race, the borrowed treasures were also a kind of foundation for the Crystaleye Race. They could use the treasures' power within a reasonable range.
Therefore, it was a win-win situation for the Crystaleye Race.
"Many of the temporarily borrowed treasures are not willing to divulge the information of the treasures to outsiders. That's why they set up this rule.
Jota said, "As for the Starry Sky Book, it was provided by the Elders. In a sense, I'm also the owner of the Starry Sky Book. As the owner, I can reveal the effects of the book to outsiders. This is not against the rules. "
After Jota finished speaking, he added, "It's also because there are many Level-4 treasures here that our clansmen have temporarily borrowed. Deducting these treasures, the number of treasures you can choose from is about 36."
"So you're saying I can only know the names of these treasures, but not their effects?"
"Yes." Jota paused and suddenly changed the topic. "But if you want to know the effects of these treasures, I can give you a suggestion. You can stay here for a while, and as long as you stay long enough, you'll learn the effects of all the treasures. The three treasures displayed in the spirit display cabinets each day will be shown to you at the same time. "
To put it simply, if he were to look at three treasures a day through the spiritual energy display cabinet, he would only need 12 days to finish looking at the effects of all 36 treasures.
However, Angor did not have enough time to stay here for 18 days.
Now that he thought about it, he finally understood why there were so many strange rules in this place.
Angor sighed. Three treasures was better than nothing.
Besides, he still had Know-It-All with him.
Angor might not know about the effects of the treasures in the Mirror Domain, but Laplace was a native of the Mirror Domain and had lived for many years. He should know something about them.
Angor could always ask Laplace about any treasures he was interested in.
…
After making sure Angor understood all the rules in the Hall of Attendants, Jota controlled the Leviathan to point at the air.
A crystal screen about three meters tall appeared in front of everyone in an instant.
Words began to appear on the screen.
To make it easier for Angor to read, the words were all in the common language of the wizarding world.
Soon, all the words were displayed.
Angor took a closer look and saw that the screen was divided into 93 rows, each of which recorded the name of a level-4 treasure.
Among them, there were 12 treasures whose names were shown in red. According to Jota, these 12 treasures were currently on loan and not in the Hall of Attendants.
Among the remaining 81 treasures, another 45 treasures' names were grayed out. Angor already knew that Jota did not need to tell him that these 45 treasures were the treasures loaned to the government by the Crystaleye Race. They could not be chosen.
His "Level 4 Treasure Acquisition" could only be obtained from the remaining 36 treasures marked in black.
Since that was the case, Angor did not look at the gray and red names. Instead, he focused on the 36 treasures he could choose from.
Even so, he was still dazzled by the sheer number of treasures.
[Number 06: Crystal Shell: Wave — Undead Transformation. ]
[Number 08: Crystal Shell: Thin Wing. ]
[Number 19: Crystal Shell: Crimson Armor — Strengthened by Magnetic Field. ]
…
[Number 21: Scroll: Mirror Chronicles.]
[Number 35: Scroll: Book of Stars.]
[Number 49: Scroll: Art of Darkness.]
[Number 58: Treasure: Crystal Shell Soldier — Scout.] ]
[Number 81: Treasure: Kaleidoscope.] ]
[Number 90: Treasure: Mond's Palette.] ]
Angor could understand the meaning of the words, but he could not guess the effects of the treasures by looking at them.
However, Angor noticed that all the treasures had a number on them. He could roughly determine the category of the treasures by looking at the numbers.
For example, the treasures numbered 20 and below were all Crystal Shells. Those numbered 21 to 50 were all secret scrolls, which included books, single-use scrolls, and so on.
Those numbered 51 to 89 were treasures. Those numbered 90 and above were treasures.
In terms of classification, Precious Treasures were the most common, followed by Secret Scrolls, Crystal Shells, and finally, Secret Treasures. There were only four of them, and only one of them was black.
Angor took a quick look. He was most interested in the only secret treasure, "Mond's Palette".
After all, secret treasures were tainted with Mystery.
Although "Mond's Palette" seemed to have something to do with "drawing", anything with Mystery had its own value.
Angor had already decided to put "Number 90: Treasure: Mond's Palette" among the three treasures available for display.
But before that, he needed to ask Laplace's opinion.
If Laplace knew the effect of "Mond's Palette", he could save one spot if it was not ideal.
As for the other level-4 treasures, Angor had no idea yet. The only one he had was the Book of Stars. This was their goal, so they had to get a display spot.
Angor glanced at Laplace, who had just finished looking at the crystal screen and was looking at Angor.
Angor understood right away. "Please give us a few minutes to think about it."
"Of course." Jota nodded and stepped aside, leaving the two of them to their own devices.
However, he didn't plan to talk to Laplace even if Jota was far away. Instead, he chose to use the Spirit Bond.
"Apart from the Cosmos Tome, what else do we need?" Angor asked through the Spirit Bond.
"What do you think?" Laplace asked.
"I think we should look at the secret treasures first."
"Do you know anything about Treasure No. 90?"
Laplace knew what Angor was thinking. Of all the level-4 treasures, the most valuable one was a secret treasure. However, Laplace believed that Jota and the giant city spirit only logged off a little later, which was not enough to trade for a secret treasure.
Treasure No. 90, on the other hand, must be a bait since Jota put it on display.
There must be something fishy about the treasure. Either it had terrible side effects, or its effect was not outstanding.
Laplace didn't hide anything and spoke his thoughts. "I don't know much about Mond's color palette. However, I personally believe that there is something fishy about this artifact. "
Angor wasn't stupid. He quickly understood what Laplace was trying to do.
She was right. Treasures were too valuable.
There was a reason why it was called "Half-Mystery". The name sounded childish, but it was true that a secret treasure was an item with Mystery power attached to it.
Would they really be able to obtain such a precious treasure so easily?
If the treasure was really useful, they would choose to trade for it even if they did not want the Book of Stars.
But judging from the current situation, there must be something wrong with the treasure.
They had to make a decision now.
Knowing that there was something wrong with the "Mond's Palette", should he send it to the spiritual energy display cabinet as one of the three treasures to be displayed today?
Laplace considered for a moment. "I'll let you decide."
Angor was having a hard time making a decision. "How about we look at the other level-4 treasures first?"
Laplace nodded noncommittally. "Sure."
"What do you think is the most valuable one among all the level-4 treasures we've seen so far?"
