Chapter 405 Mystic Weapon
Beatrix was immensely interested in Fog City and the treasure vault, so she was thrilled when she heard that
Jonathan was going to check it out. However, she was still somewhat worried. “Is this really okay?”
“Don't worry. I've told Prince Solorel about this, and he says it's fine,” Jonathan replied.
At that, Beatrix became at ease.
Thereafter, Jonathan left the palace with the two beautiful women. Right as they stepped out of the area, they
encountered Aurora.
Aurora looked stately and valiant in her white tuxedo. She walked over to Jonathan and greeted him, “Your Majesty.”
He smiled. “No need for formalities.”
“Thank you, Your Majesty.” Then, she presented him with the spatial ring's brocade box. “Your Majesty, I've given a
spatial ring to each vampire marquis. The remaining six rings are in here.”
Once Jonathan took the brocade box, he kept it in his spatial ring.
Abruptly, a smile grew on his face as he said, “Right, I just remembered something. I still have Lord Reichlin's
millions of Epean currency in my spatial ring.” After a pause, he turned to Aurora. “Ms. Aurora, please get Lord
Reichlin to send me his account details so that I can transfer the money to him.”
“Your Majesty, you have your own financial rights within our people. I'll handle this matter for you,” she immediately
responded.
In other words, she was telling him that he did not need to use his own money.
Hearing that, Jonathan did not insist otherwise.
He then added, “I'll be taking a trip to the treasure vault and our revered ancestor's Fog City. Do come along.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
Aurora would never go against his words.
Jonathan had to admit that it felt good to have her thorough subordination.
The lock to the first door of the treasure vault needed biometric authentication, but the key Jonathan had could
unlock it too. Hence, he used the key to open it. The keyhole was located in a covert spot, and he only managed to
find it when Aurora told him where it was.
Once the door opened, she informed him, “Your Majesty, Prince Solorel is making preparations to change the
password to your biometrics, but this process will take some time.”
He chuckled and reassured, “There's no hurry.”
Following that, the group entered the white, lavish tunnel.
Previously, the crowd had been blocked at the treasure vault's entrance, but this time, Titus had already been
escorted away.
“Titus Langston has been captured by Prince Solorel and officially escorted to the prison,” Aurora reported in a
timely manner.
Jonathan nodded but did not probe further. He instructed her to open the door with the key.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtOnce Aurora took the key from him, she located the keyhole and unlocked the door.
In no time, that mysterious door gradually slid open.
Finally, the inside of the treasure vault was revealed to everyone.
Jonathan and the others were exhilarated. As it was also Aurora's first time at the treasure vault, she was filled with
curiosity too.
Jonathan was the first to enter, and the rest followed right behind him.
Countless dazzling treasures entered their line of sight.
It was as if they had entered a divine dragon's treasure trove.
Jonathan's group was nearly blinded by the scintillating treasures in the vault. This really is a treasure vault!
The vault was around three hundred square meters in size, and everything was arranged meticulously inside. There
were pieces of jewelry, gold, Chanaean relics, and plenty of rare weapons.
Furthermore, there were simpler and smaller items at the side as well.
The number of valuables within the vault was absolutely incredible.
As a matter of fact, many lost pieces of artwork were here too.
“That's the lost statue of Lucent Garden. I never thought I'd see it here.” Mabel gasped when she saw a strange
statue in the vault. “And that one! That's a Chanaean relic, Ansketel Etton's Stone Tablets!”
She appeared to be stunned to her core.
Meanwhile, Beatrix's gaze was fixed on some old manuals. She exclaimed, “Oh, my God! Isn't that the original
manual of one of House of Kung Fu's techniques? And that's Iron Palm's original manual! This, too! Is this a
witchcraft manual?”
Jonathan and the rest were not too interested in martial arts manuals. Their physique had already been upgraded
to the peak, and they were already one with all the martial arts techniques.
Therefore, Jonathan's attention was on a long sword.
He walked over to it and unsheathed it directly.
Although the blade was black, there was no other part of the sword that seemed extraordinary.
“Is there a history to this sword? Why is it in the treasure vault?” he asked Aurora curiously.
However, she was unable to give him an answer. “Your Majesty, I've never been in here before either, so I'm not
too sure about that. Nevertheless, I can find out about it.”
“We'll discuss that later, then. It's nothing urgent.”
Mabel craned her neck to peek at the sword. “Is there anything special about this?”
“It doesn't seem unique on the outside, but I sense a hint of bloodthirst from it,” he commented.
“That's odd.” Mabel also looked over. A bizarre look crossed her eyes after she observed it for some time. She, too,
sensed the sword's bloodthirst.
“I can discern a trace of sentience from the sword. It's really yearning for blood,” she said.
Beatrix glanced at it. “That means this sword is a spiritual weapon. It isn't shocking for it to have a mind of its own,
then.” A pause later, she added, “There are four kinds of magical weapons—spiritual, mystic, celestial, and divine.
Spiritual weapons are of the lowest grade. For example, my master's Demon Slayer is a mystic weapon.”
Jonathan's eyes lit up, and he asked Mabel, “Didn't you say you need a magical weapon? What about this one?”
Mabel's interest was piqued, and she instinctively turned to Aurora. “Can I have it?”
The latter promptly replied in reverence, “It's all up to His Majesty.”
Hearing that, Mabel let out the breath she had been holding. Gathering her focus, she then made a minute cut on
her palm with her fingernail.
Next, her fresh, red blood dripped onto the sword's blade.
The second the drop of blood touched the blade, it disappeared.
Mabel dropped a total of twenty droplets of blood on it consecutively.
Subsequently, the sword started making a buzzing sound.
Like a shedding snake, the rust on the blade faded.
It was genuinely a miraculous sight.
Shortly after, a shiny blade emerged before the crowd.
Mabel beamed. “I can sense its mood and heartbeat! It's overjoyed, and its name is Shanow Sword!”
Beatrix paled a little. “It can convey its mood to you?”
“That's right!” Mabel affirmed.
“Then, you're in great luck, Mabel! Spiritual weapons can only fuse with mana, but mystic weapons can convey
their moods to you. If a mystic weapon gets enough nourishment from Spirit Pills and such, it'll upgrade into a
celestial weapon!” elaborated Beatrix.
Mabel was over the moon.
With this mystic weapon, her combat force would increase tremendously. Turning to Jonathan, she asked,
“Jonathan, are you really giving this sword to me?”
He chuckled. “Of course. Don't worry. I'm not going to ask you to return the favor with your body.”
“Go to h*ll!” Mabel blushed. She then kept Shanow Sword in her spatial ring.
The generous man he was, Jonathan proceeded to say to Aurora and Beatrix, “Take a look around, and feel free to
take anything you want as well.”
Aurora lowered her head. “Thank you, Your Majesty!”
Despite her words, she did not make a move to take anything.
In truth, Mabel was aware that it was not appropriate for her to take anything from the vault. However, the mystic
weapon was too tempting for her.
She had no choice but to act shamelessly for once.
Beatrix's Imperial Wind Sword was only a spiritual weapon, so she felt a little envious of Mabel at present. She
wanted to scour around to see if there were other mystic weapons. Alas, no matter how hard she searched, she
could not find any spiritual weapons lying around, let alone mystic weapons.
On the other hand, Jonathan was not interested in anything in the vault. Now that he had Dragon Binding Gloves, he
did not need any other weapons. His hands were the most powerful weapon he could have.
After looking around in the vault, he said to Aurora, “Some of the cultural relics in here belong to Chanaea.
Although I'm the king of our clan, I am also a Chanaean. Therefore, make a list of Chanaea's relics here and keep
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmthem aside carefully before handing them to Mabel. Mabel will bring them back to Chanaea. In a way, we'll be
returning them to their original owner.”
“Yes, Your Majesty. I'll work on it right away.”
Jonathan nodded in acknowledgement.
By now, he had seen most of the things in the treasure vault.
He had actually wanted to look for elixir pills in the vault, but alas, his search was fruitless.
Even though there were many expensive items here, he was not interested in money.
Soon, the group exited the vault.
On this trip, Mabel was the lone person who benefited greatly.
Thereafter, they headed to Fog City.
Fog City was located right beside the treasure vault, and the doors to it were tightly shut.
Jonathan stepped forward to give them a push. Immediately, they opened.
There were no mechanisms attached to the doors of Fog City. When Leahra was still around, she had set up a mana
barrier around the city, so no one could enter it. With her departure, the mana barrier dissipated as well.
It was pitch-dark in Fog City.
The second the group stepped into the city, they were greeted by gusts of chilly wind.
It felt as if the entire place was cooled by central air conditioning; it was a sensation completely unlike the treasure
vault.
However, the chill in Fog City was not the kind that sent shivers down people's spines.
Additionally, the entire city was also fogged up, so the group could barely see who was standing in front of them.
Sure enough, Fog City lived up to its name.
Nevertheless, Jonathan's crew consisted of mighty cultivators with excellent eyesight.
In fact, Jonathan was the weakest cultivator among them.
If they were to take a closer look at the city, they would realize that the spot where Leahra had cultivated was the
city's center.
The ground had a gigantic formation diagram.
When everyone stood on it, they could feel the gentle flow of air.
That was a sensation enhanced by the formation.
Yet, Jonathan was preoccupied with other thoughts.
The revered ancestor said that I should escape to this city in times of peril. But won't the enemies follow me here?
It can't be that simple, right? There must be other traps around.
Thus, he started searching the area.
In the meantime, Mabel and the rest were taken aback by the city view, in awe about the everlasting mist.
In fact, Mabel even bore thoughts of sitting on the throne Leahra had sat on for her cultivation.
Nonetheless, she only mulled over the idea; she did not dare to make any reckless moves.
