My lord, just this one chest is worth at least twenty gold coins!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lei Meng stared wide-eyed—he’d never seen such a lavish chest even in the Patric Viscount’s family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, Gervas had never seen one either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To craft a daily-use chest with such elegance—no need to say more, it was surely the work of some great noble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gervas immediately grew excited—the space ring was almost certainly inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you, Waga!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking the silver chest, Gervas eagerly began opening it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to this luxurious silver chest, its contents were the true treasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Splash!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The chest opened, spilling out a flood of seawater.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But inside the first chest, besides mud and water, there were only a few animal hides, swollen and nearly dissolved into pulp by the sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My lord, what a pity—already ruined by seawater. Had it been preserved, hides stored in a chest like this might have been valuable records!” Lei Meng sighed in regret.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gervas remained unmoved—he already knew through his system what today’s greatest gain would be.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned his gaze to the second chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the second chest still had a intact small lock on its exterior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, this thing deterred gentlemen, not thieves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pulling out his dagger, he pried hard—the lock shattered instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gervas took a deep breath and slowly opened the treasure chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Again, seawater poured out first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But unlike the first chest, this second one revealed a glint of gold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh? My lord, it’s a ring!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lei Meng’s surprised exclamation rang out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The golden ring was simply too conspicuous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was thick and wide, like a jade finger guard from his past life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, for comfort, the ring featured openwork carving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The skilled artisan carved intricate patterns into the ring’s surface, not only enhancing its beauty but drastically reducing its weight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the center of the golden ring, a ruby was set, instantly elevating its opulence to extreme levels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Truly exquisite, my lord—I suspect this was a favorite possession of some great noble.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Great nobles, besides using staffs or robes to display their authority, also consider rings among the most important items.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Because such rings, beyond ornamentation, could likely be used to create personal seals.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Look—can you open the ruby’s underside? If so, this is a ring that combines beauty and power!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Lei Meng’s words, Gervas studied it closely—and indeed found a clever mechanism.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Click.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The front of the ring popped open, revealing a hidden lid beneath the ruby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beneath the lid was a slightly raised, flat area, about two millimeters high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But currently, no inscription was carved into this blank space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My lord, wonderful! This noble must have ordered the ring but hadn’t yet engraved his name!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That means, whether you sell it or keep it for yourself, it’s perfect!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lei Meng burst into fresh exclamations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his eyes, his lord had scored an incredible bargain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a meticulously crafted ring could easily sell for over a hundred gold coins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The clasp mechanism required extraordinary craftsmanship and high-strength materials.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rumor had it the clasp even contained mithril.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Lei Meng was delighted, Gervas felt uneasy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Could I have picked the wrong one?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his past-life novels, space rings were always rustic and plain—so dull you’d walk past them without noticing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, the protagonist would trip, step on one, and—bam—it’d recognize him as its master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this lavish ring… could it really be a space ring?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet soon, Gervas calmed down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because once he slipped the ring on and directed his perception toward it, an immediate pull surged—swallowing his perception whole.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, the absorption lasted only an instant—the pull vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In its place, a pitch-black region appeared before Gervas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No need to wonder—this was the storage space of the space ring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced at Lei Meng—both he and the little mermaid showed no reaction, utterly unaware of the sudden change beside them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, the storage space was visible only to its master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Forcing himself to suppress the urge to immediately test the ring’s retrieval function, Gervas mentally closed the space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black region vanished from his vision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did Gervas smile. “Lei Meng, you’re right—this ring is excellent. I’ll keep it for myself.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Gervas smiled and said, “Lei Meng, you’re right—this ring is truly excellent; from now on, I’ll keep it for myself to wear!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lei Meng had no idea his lord had acquired a ring with hidden mysteries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its value was dozens of times higher than he imagined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, Gervas understood why the storage ring was so lavish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a noble world—and this ring had been crafted by a great noble for himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Great nobles were the highest tier in this world—why would they fear others coveting their space ring?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Great nobles are already the highest tier of power in this world—why should they worry about others coveting their space rings?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, the space ring naturally became as opulent as possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, a marquis or duke carrying a dull, iron-ring-like thing everywhere? That would be pure madness!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good thing I’m a noble too—even if I’m showing off a bit, at least it’s not out of place!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fortunately, I'm also nobility—though a bit showy, at least I don't stand out!\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1099,"2026-06-20T22:44:01.160Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","2bc34f417f5c45e0e914bb53501b69edfea81615541551545d5ce875ce2b18d4","warlord-starting-with-daily-intelligence-chapter-93","warlord-starting-with-daily-intelligence-chapter-91",521,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fwarlord-starting-with-daily-intelligence-cover.jpg"]
