[Kt''s POV]
Just as Lucy Gray left the top floor on her swan, Kt closed the door and took out the gold square box from his bracelet. He caressed the octopus'' image on the box and prepared to take out the things st by his aunt.
An excited smile yed on Kt''s lips as he activated his aura to ess the gold box that came from Royal Delivery.
Just as he used the aura on the gold box, the octopus image glowed, and a transpart octopus'' spirit came to life. The spirit floated like a swimming jellyfish and rose to the height of Kt.
It stared at Kt''s face for a long time and dissipated into thin air in gre color. In the next instance, the gold octopus image turned into an emerald gre color.
With a sigh, Kt essed the gold box. The storage box itself is a spatial instrumt, and there are three items packed neatly in it. As Kt extded his hand, he retrieved a heavy manual in the size of a dictionary.
The tire manual is made of bronze, including the pages, decorations, and designs.
"The Arcane Archer''s Tome"
The title of the manual is etched on the book cover with a special technique. A symbol of Blue, adorned with a conical wizard cap on it, is minted at the bottom of the book, with the name Blue Wizard Association writt in small letters.
As Kt oped the first page, ''99 Magus Arrows for Beginner Arcane'' is writt in bold letter. An image of an archer aiming an arrow to the sky is depicted in a brave stance.
With a surprised face, Kt turned up the next page, where three lines were writt in a gleaming thread ure.
"This book is the first part of the Arcane Tome, contain explosive, damaging arrow spells. The second part contains killer arrow spells, and the third part contains mass destructive war sovereign arrow spells.
The person who masters all 33 arrows mtioned in the these three manuals of Arcane Tome will be awarded the "Arcane Sage" title by the Blue Wizard Association.
A wide grin formed on Kt''s face as he wt through the lines. He knew how hard it was to get his hands on these types of rare manuals, but his aunt st the best of the best for him.
Keeping the book aside, Kt picked up the long bow from the gold box. As he stood with the bow, which is almost the same height as him, Kt''s eyes gleamed in while staring at the imposing size of the bow. The tire bow is dazzling in snow- theme.
Suddly Kt felt startled and lost the grip on the bow. But thankfully, he regained hisposure shortly and captured the bow in a split second. The reason for his sudd perplexity is the snow- snake passed along the curve of the bow on one side.
The craftsman of this bow is definitely a sage-level smith who took intse care in bncing its size with its weight.
Kt couldn''t contain his excitemt, as the bow looked very majestic and every inch of it contained intricate carvings. Along the body of the snake, aura particles were etched in shining crystals, making it a work of art in its own right.
Ev though the tire bow looked snow in color, two crimson red stones were etched in the snake''s eyes.
Kt, bncing the heavy bow, leaned forward to take a closer look at the eyes of the snake.
"What the…?!!! These are mana stones." Kt cried out in surprise.
[Aura stones and mana stones are differt. Until the Grand Master Magus stage, people use Aura and Aura Stone to gain strgth and advance to the next level Magus. But from the Grand Master Magus stage, people can only raise their level through mana absorption.
Mana stones were epted as currcy on alls, whereas Aura stones varied for each, so they were confined to their own.]
After spding ough time with the bow design, Kt observed that the bow string is not connected on both ds.
He stood straight with the bow and untied the bow string, which is wrapped a the top d of the bow. Using all his strgth, he dragged the bow string down, which is very hard to stretch.
Kt used his 8th-ss Magus aura and put all his strgth into drawing the bow string. After struggling for five minutes and after several failures, Kt sessfully tied the bow string to the other d.
Just as the bow string connected, a gleam passed along the snake carving of the bow and a name lit up in bold characters at the head of the snake.
"V.I.C.T.O.R"
Those five letters were carved in bold characters with a separate design for each letter. An arrow bump passed through the base of these letters.
"How majestic…!" Kt muttered while caressing each letter carved in imposing calligraphy.
Ev though he felt scrupulous pain in his muscles, Kt held onto the heavy bow dearly. But his low stamina didn''t let him hold the bow for a long time. Controlling the painful feeling, Kt carefully ced the bow on the bed.
"Ahh… It''s too heavy for me. I must train my body as soon as possible. Otherwise, this bow will be trash in my hands." Kt muttered in a determined tone while pressing his muscles to ease the pain.
Soon he felt rxed and picked up the gold box to check for other items.
Except for a small ck wood box in the corner, the gold box ispletely empty. With a sigh, Kt picked up the small ck wood box.
Just as he took out thest piece of item from the gold box, the octopus'' image on it began fading, and the gold hue of the box slowly receded.
Just in a few minutes, it turned into a cramped-up wood box, and its internal space copsed, making it useless for future use.
"What the hell? I thought of using it as storage or a gift. But this thing became useless." Kt muttered with an annoying look while staring at the disintegrating Royal delivery box.
But Kt doesn''t know that the gold box won''t support cing foreign objects in it. Only items marked with the blue Magus seal can be ced inside, and once they are sealed gold box with the octopus'' spirit, no other things can be ced inside.
Shaking his head in disappointmt, Kt oped the small, ck wood box.
"Knuckles…?! Why did I receive knuckles?!!!"
Kt''s eyes wt wide after seeing the ck, in knuckles inside the ck wood box.
