Chapter 26 - The Wooden Chest Part 2

Its handle was roughly carved, same if it was kind of pretty it was without any ornement. The blade felt blunt and was rather small, but the instant his hand made contact with it, he felt an extraordinary power emanate from it.

Liam exclaimed : "What the hell ! I had never felt this way while holding a weapon. This dagger is incredibly powerful !"

After some thought he added : "On the other hand, it will be better if we do experiments on it when we are in a deserted place, without the risk of hurting anyone.

Let's put that aside for now."

The girls nodded to let him know they were okay with it.

Liam continued : "Good ! Let's check the wooden chest now Naya !"

After the dagger that the girls had showed him he couldn't wait to see what was inside that wooden chest of hers.

Celia actually couldn't believe it, Liam was even worst than Anaya when it came to discover some hidden treasures, his eyes were shining like a kid who have seen for the first time Santa, damn it.

Anaya who was as excited as Liam didn't see the glance that Celia trought to them, she had just put the dagger back on the shelf and she exclaimed : "Oh yes, the chest ! But before that, let me drop our things off."

Anaya took their purchases out of the magic bag and took Celia's magic bag where the magic herbs were stored.

She added to Celia's magic bag the two hundred hermetic bottles, five green jade discs ready-to-use, five magic bags of five square meters, two of ten square meters and one of fifty square meters. She also put in there two batches of twenty sheets of parchments and a copywriter.

After she finished, she returned the magic bag to Celia and asked her : "Here my love, do you remember how the magic bag works ? You just have to open it and think about what you want and it will come in your hand.

Your magic herbs are already sorted inside. The manager has separated them into six groups, one group for one magic pill. In each group there are twenty different sets.

He did well, it will be easier for you to find your way around at the beginning like that."

Celia picked up the magic bag and said : "Thanks my beloved baby wife and don't worry, like I told you before, I adapt and learn fast."

Anaya smiled at her and added the same amounts of items she had given Celia to her own magic bag.

So there were still ten magic bags of five square meters, six magic bags of ten square meters and six sets of twenty sheets of parchment, she didn't hesitate and put them all on the shelves at the entrance of the hall and finally took the wooden chest.

Anaya asked Liam : "How do we open it ? Celia said the silver halo was coming from inside the chest."

Liam looked at the chest carefully and found that it was sealed : "It's normal that you couldn't open it, it was sealed by someone who was very powerful, you see the patterns on the sides of the chest, it is a seal mark. Come on, let's go outside, I'll open it."

Liam was confident he was an expert when it came to sealing marks, he could easily undo that level of sealing, but very few were able to do it which was why this chest was still sealed.

He put down the wooden chest not far from the hall entrance, and made complex signs with both hands with disconcerting speed.

When he was done, the sealing marks on the sides of the chest glowed and disappeared completely.

Celia walked over and opened the chest. The three of them had leaned over to see what was inside, and inside was just a magic bag.

No one moved and Celia asked : "Liam can you feel it now and you sweetie ? No matter what is inside the magic bag, the silver halo that I have detected is coming from there."

Liam looked at Anaya who shaked her head to tell him that she couldn't see or feel anything then he answered Celia : "I don't feel anything at all !"

Anaya was also puzzled : "Sorry my love, I don't feel anything either. Go ahead, open it !"

Celia didn't understand why they couldn't feel this great power, but she didn't think about it too much and opened the magic bag.

Following Anaya's advice, she closed her eyes and thought she wanted the entire contents of the magic bag freed on the ground.

When she opened her eyes again, she saw that Anaya and Liam were completely frozen in surprise and were looking behind her.

She turned and saw that the contents of the magic bag were dispached on the ground. There weren't many items but all of them were hugely valuable that was for sure.

Liam stepped forward and took a closer look, he explained to them : "All of these are of great value, and the person who had this magic bag was a mage, a very powerful mage, maybe even a legendary mage."

On the ground there were scrolls to make magic pills, some magic herbs and seeds, four hermetic bottles with magic pills inside and a diary.

Liam was in a very good mood it was very exciting to be the master of these little girls he continued : "I've seen this kind of scrolls in the Northern Academy. They only have three like those ones.

He took the scrolls from the ground and checked them all, he said : "They're scrolls to make level ten through level twelve magic pills, fuc*ing hell do you know that all the sects in Eben will kill to have only one of them.

This mage must have existed before the old Great War, over hundred thousand years ago. All those scrolls are written in ancient language i m not too good at it but i could try to do a translation for you.

Those scrolls to make high magic pills there are long gone, and nowhere to be found in Eben.

Perhaps not in Stellar, the higher plane of existence, but here their value is invaluable.

Then there are these different magic herbs and seeds that we will need to store. Celia you will have to take care of them, but it is not urgent we can just let them in the dimension meantime.

And finally there are these four hermetic bottles, five magic pills in each of these bottles, I can set their level but I don't know their effects, so we will have to leave them out for now."

Anaya asked : "Liam, what level are these magic pills ?"

Liam replied : "These two bottles contain level ten magic pills, this bottle contain level eleven magic pills, and the last I do not know their level exactly, I only know that they are level twelve, but I doesn't know their true level."

Celia was confused and she asked him : "You already said that they were level twelve magic pills so why did you say that you doesn't know their true level ?"

Liam explained : "Like a mage the magic pills of level twelve are divised into seven grades, for example a level twelve magic pill four grade could be only refined by a mage with four spheres minimum in his sea of consciousness. Got it ?"

Celia and Anaya had reacted at the same time and they said : "Got it ! Wow ! Downright cool ! That's a freaking awesome treasure !"

Liam raised his hands to get their attention : "Your dimension is charged with very dense spiritual energy. Celia you can therefore store magic herbs, seeds and magic pills without any problem wherever you want, they will not deteriorate.

Anaya, it will be necessary to scan these scrolls in a jade disc, um may be in several to be sure not to lose them. The next time we go to the city we will buy some red and white jade discs, we better use seals for that kind of valuable items.

I will keep the diary for now and i will check it later but i m sure it will be better to scan it too it can be only very usefull i guess."

Anaya said : "That's exactly what I was planning to do with the scrolls, as for the diary it may be written in a language that Cel and I can't understand so may be you will have to translate it too."

Anaya took one scroll she was curious at first but then she remembered what have said Liam and she asked him : "Liam you said that the scrolls was written in an ancient language right ?"

Liam didn't get why she was asking that but answered her : "Ya it is. Why do you ask ?"

Anaya just said : "There is no need for you to translate it i can read it perfectly but i don't know why ?"
