He forced me to use mid-tier-bronze power, but wasn't the gift we gave him, worth a thousand gold coins, enough? Why did you also give him a storage ring?\" Kenrito asked, still puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gavus didn't respond directly. Instead, he posed a question, \"Your Highness, in today's duel with Alan, who do you think won?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kenrito didn't quite understand why Gavus asked this, but he answered seriously, \"Though it ended in a draw, in terms of level, he's beyond me. But in a real life-or-death fight, he would have died to my fist. So I suppose I won?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gavus shook his head. \"From any angle, Your Highness suffered a complete defeat.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A complete defeat?!\" Kenrito stared at his mentor in disbelief. \"Are you serious, sir?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gavus continued calmly, \"Just now, you believed that with the sharpness of the metal element, you could withstand that sudden eruption of earth spikes, didn't you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course. With my control over the metal element, even if those spikes were iron instead of earth, they couldn't penetrate my defense,\" Kenrito replied confidently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But what if Alan had hidden highly compressed fire-element lava within those earth spikes?\" Gavus asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fire-element lava?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kenrito was startled. Fire counters metal! If those spikes had contained lava, his metal defenses would have melted, and his life would have been in danger!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But... that's impossible! Those spikes were just regular earth-element constructs…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He trailed off as he saw the grave look in Gavus's eyes, and he felt a chill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sir, if he could have hidden fire-element energy, why didn't he use it openly? Was he sparing my pride?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gavus shook his head. \"And that's exactly where you fall short of Alan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"While he may have considered your pride, his primary reason was to conceal his tactics. I've told you before: when fighting, show only seventy percent of your strength, leaving the other thirty percent as reserve. If you expose everything, you'll be left vulnerable and risk losing everything.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kenrito felt a cold sweat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had thought their fight ended in a draw, but in truth, he had been within Alan's calculated control all along.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What a formidable opponent!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And during the duel, he sensed my presence,\" Gavus added, narrowing his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kenrito was even more shocked. Gavus was powerful beyond measure, and even he hadn't sensed his mentor's location during the match.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet Alan had detected it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This young man is worth befriending.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though he's currently a nobody with no background, once he reaches the capital, his fame will rise quickly, and recruiting him will only become harder,\" Gavus advised slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kenrito now understood why his mentor had insisted on adding the storage ring as an extra incentive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alan had incredible potential!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they arrived at their room, Alan infused his mana into the storage ring and stored the gifts by the door inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You should keep this storage ring,\" he said, handing it to Isabella.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But brother, this is a storage ring!\" Isabella hesitated to accept it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In House Roan, they had only one storage ring, a symbol of lordship, and it was far inferior to this one. In many cases, possessing a storage ring was a mark of high status.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm not used to wearing rings. You should have it. Now you can store all your treasures inside without having to carry them around,\" Alan explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After some thought, Isabella accepted it and asked curiously, \"Since you accepted the prince's gift and storage ring, does that mean you've accepted his offer?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alan shook his head. \"Not exactly. Right now, I don't have the value they're looking for. They're merely investing in my potential. By accepting their investment, I gain a useful ally.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The capital is a complex place with powerful forces everywhere. It's better to have a friend than another enemy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isabella nodded, not fully understanding but trusting Alan. \"Wherever you go, brother, I'll go too!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alan smiled and said, \"Then let's get ready to head for the capital!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes!\" Isabella cheered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After stowing their belongings in the storage ring, Alan took Isabella to the carriage, which had been quickly repaired by the inn staff. They set out once again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their next destination was Railway City, the core hub linking the Plantagenet Kingdom's frontier and all major regions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This bustling city was a nexus of activity, where a magical train would take them directly to the capital!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the carriage traveled, Isabella gradually fell asleep, while Alan immersed himself in his personal training realm, Hell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hand me the rainbow stone,\" instructed the woman in black robes as she glanced at Alan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alan nodded and passed the rainbow stone to her. Ever since he bought it, he'd been curious, but hadn't had a chance to explore its mysteries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"By the way, about that young girl earlier…\" Alan recalled the girl who had competed with him for the rainbow stone and asked seriously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She's powerful. Knowing more won't help you,\" the woman replied curtly, tapping her white finger on the stone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tiny cracks spread across the surface of the rainbow stone, shedding fine powder, and revealing a round, black lump inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, the woman nodded slightly. \"You're lucky. This is a magical artifact crafted by a magus!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alan's eyes brightened. He'd heard of magical artifacts, valuable items created by magi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This artifact contains a potent lightning element. Fully activated, it could injure a tier-gold mage. However, it's quite damaged and can only be used a few times before it's completely spent.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman waved, sending the magical artifact toward Alan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alan's heart raced as he inspected it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although it was limited in use, its ability to harm a tier-gold mage was incredible!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, he attempted to implant a fragment of his soul into the artifact, imprinting it as his own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A flood of unfamiliar memories surged into his mind, revealing the artifact's name and function.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heaven's Thunder Orb—a lightning-element artifact capable of releasing sky thunder to strike enemies!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Excited, Alan found the woman's assessment accurate. However, as he absorbed the memories, he frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This artifact required mana stones to activate—and not just any mana stones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Experience more on My Virtual Library Empire\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Level 1 mana stones wouldn't work; he needed level 2 or higher!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each use consumed five level 2 mana stones, each worth 300 gold coins, totaling 1,500 gold coins per activation!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A money pit!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He only had about twenty level 2 mana stones, enough for roughly four activations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though costly, it was a powerful trump card. After all, a tier-gold mage was an exceptionally formidable opponent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alan took a deep breath, then resumed his training in Hell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, he honed his Soul Grindstone technique, then continued working on Element Fusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt close to a breakthrough, though the final insight still eluded him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A day passed quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next morning, Alan stepped out of the carriage and was met with the sight of a towering city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This city was different from any he'd seen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Massive gates, dozens of meters high, punctuated its walls in every direction. Colossal trains, like mountain-sized magical beasts, roared in and out of the city, creating a grand and bustling spectacle.\u003C\u002Fp>",1241,"2026-06-06T15:56:16.256Z",1,"novelbin.me","d5057b6b6c28a056bd22cc5b54cd84c2314cb1563ea083771299a62b9ba7673d","imprisoned-for-a-trillion-years-i-was-worshipped-chapter-475","imprisoned-for-a-trillion-years-i-was-worshipped-chapter-473",734,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fimprisoned-for-a-trillion-years-i-was-worshipped-cover.jpg"]
