Chapter 1920: Eastern Treasures

Xia Duo had only just put forward his request, and the several Omniscient Elders had already begun to discuss who would hold the Betis Secret Scroll first once they obtained it.

Watching such a scene that could be called a farce, Yintewa could not help but smile bitterly, "Mage Laier, it seems the Elders have already agreed to the trade, and I have no objections."

"Then how shall we trade?" Xia Duo asked again.

"A single Golden Page is clearly not enough to exchange for a treasure!"

Before Yintewa could speak, an Omniscient Elder nearby, who happened to have finished examining that Golden Page, answered first: "This Betis Secret Scroll is indeed good, but treasures from the Eastern courts are even rarer; at least two or three pages are required!"

"Two or three pages?" Xia Duo asked again, unsure.

"Yes, three pages!"

The Elder tentatively stated a number, not forgetting to observe Xia Duo's expression at the same time; seeing that Xia Duo's expression was unusual, he hurriedly changed his words, "No, actually two pages would also be fine."

"..."

Xia Duo was speechless for a moment; it was not that the other party's demand was too high, but rather too low. He had originally intended to use a set—that is, ten Golden Pages—to exchange for one treasure. Of course, for book-type items, copies would suffice, and whether it was an Eastern medium was not important.

As for the remaining Golden Pages, they could be used to exchange for tea seeds, as well as various technologies and resources needed for the Inheritance Ritual.

If there were still more, they could be used to exchange for the contents of the Dragon Madness Secret Scroll.

But looking at the situation now, Xia Duo had still somewhat underestimated the value of the Betis Secret Scroll in the hearts of the Elf Mages.

"Fine, two pages for one item. I wonder how many treasures Mage Nuode brought back from the East in total?"

"This—"

Yintewa suddenly realized that the Elder might have made a wrong decision, but when that Elder spoke, the other Elders did not express opposition, and it was a bit too late for him to try to go back on it.

"Actually, there are over a hundred treasures that Mage Nuode brought back from the Eastern World! Excluding some consumables, there are still more than a dozen preserved in Wuweilun, among which four can be called treasures."

"Excluding those four treasures, Mage Laier may choose as he pleases."

"Is that so!"

Xia Duo frowned and asked again: "What about those four treasures?"

"Those four treasures require at least five Golden Pages, and at most only two can be traded!"

Yintewa was not sure exactly how many Betis Secret Scrolls Xia Duo possessed, but he certainly could not let the other party exchange for all the treasures. Although this trade was not a loss for Wuweilun, they still had to leave something for the younger generation to study!

As it stands now, many Elves in Wuweilun itself firmly believe that Mage Nuode's journey to the Eastern World was a complete hoax.

If there were no such Eastern treasures to serve as evidence, I fear future Crown Kings would all become supporters of this conclusion.

"I would like to see those Eastern treasures first."

"Very well."

Yintewa did not refuse Xia Duo's request, and after obtaining Xia Duo's consent, he directly changed the location of the space they were currently in.

The gentle breeze in the original Clear Sky Hall vanished, and the warm sun slanting in also disappeared; the surroundings were shrouded in darkness, and then four pillars of light appeared.

Suspended under each pillar of light was a treasure with a unique design, simultaneously emitting a strong Magic Aura.

The four treasures were, respectively, a bright copper mirror with a knob on the back, a triangular flag with streamers on top, a sword glowing with light throughout, and an oil lamp that burned eternally.

After the four treasures appeared, this space gradually became bright, but those four treasures still occupied the absolute center stage.

Xia Duo noticed that this was a great hall no smaller than the previous Clear Sky Hall, and the surrounding walls were carved with a depiction of an Elf Mage traveling in the Eastern World using traditional Elf techniques.

But unlike typical Elf carvings, the reliefs in this hall were colored, with the figures and environment so lifelike that the viewer felt as if they had traveled through time and space, placing themselves in the scene of that time.

Seeming to notice Xia Duo's gaze, Crown King Yintewa introduced at the right moment: "After Mage Nuode returned from the Eastern World, he was obsessed with painting for quite some time; it is said he was influenced by the court painters of the Eastern World."

"The reliefs in this treasure vault were carved based on Nuode's paintings, and the colors were also restored entirely according to the originals."

Around the four treasures, there were also some pillars of light with shallower brightness, within which were also suspended items with distinct Eastern characteristics, including clothing, daily utensils, decorative ornaments, and even Eastern delicacies generated by illusions.

The latter, because they were purely consumables, had long since been consumed over so many years, so they could only be displayed in the form of illusions.

Looking at the various collections in the treasure hall, Xia Duo truly had the feeling of returning to his hometown to visit a museum; these so-called Eastern treasures were indeed somewhat similar to the ancient artifacts of his hometown.

Just then, Xia Duo had unknowingly walked in front of the copper mirror, one of the four treasures, and Crown King Yintewa began to introduce it again:

"This mirror is called the Brightness Treasure Mirror; it can turn starlight into water. The divine water transformed from moonlight can restore an elder to Youth, while the divine water transformed from ordinary starlight, if drunk often, can grant Longevity."

Three Lights Divine Water?

Xia Duo immediately became interested and hurriedly asked: "What about the divine water transformed from sunlight?"

"The divine water transformed from sunlight, when drunk, can strengthen the physique, but it will affect the Spellcaster's Magic Net Affinity."

"Affect Magic Affinity? Strengthen or weaken?"

"Of course it weakens it!"

Yintewa said with some regret. In reality, for ordinary mortal races, this treasure was indeed a rare treasure, but for Elves, it was not that useful.

Moonlight divine water restores Youth, but Elves only show signs of aging when their lifespan is about to end, and once they die, there is the traditional burial treasure, the Youth Amulet, which can be used; there is simply no need for any moonlight divine water.

And starlight divine water for Longevity is not even worth mentioning for the already long-lived Elves. Perhaps it is useful for Commoners, but there are so many Commoners, and there is only one Brightness Treasure Mirror; who should it be given to?

As for the Sun God water, it even weakens a Spellcaster's abilities, which makes it even more useless.

If it were truly of great use, this treasure would not have been locked in the treasure vault for thousands of years.

Next, Xia Duo looked at the small triangular flag with streamers on top, which Crown King Yintewa called the "Bounty Flag."

As long as it is placed in an open-air environment, it will produce a bounty effect on the surroundings, but unfortunately, Elves do not lack food, so it can only be left in the treasure vault to gather dust.

As for the remaining two, they were the 【Evil-Breaking Divine Sword】 and the 【Wisdom Lamp】, respectively.

The former has extremely strong lethality against creatures involving Negative Energy, while the latter uses the user's distracting thoughts as fuel to ignite the light of Wisdom and increase the user's Wisdom.
