Chapter 174: Comrades
The first thing that caught his attention was the set of artifacts locked and displayed inside twelve reinforced glass containers, adding a bit of order to the otherwise messy Imperial Treasury.
The next thing he noticed was an impressive sword with a long, thin blade hanging on the far end of the runestone walls, glowing with a faint red aura.
Hal couldn’t help but wonder who would have used such a sword, or who even could.
After all, in the Imperium, wizardry was the most widely acknowledged and dominant form of combat.
A swordsman, no matter how skillful, would always be defeated by even a mediocre wizard.
He knew he had no business touching those impressive artifacts.
So, Hal turned his attention to the neatly lined shelves, filled with spellbooks of all rarity tiers.
There was even a dedicated shelf, half-full of spellbooks with dark orange covers.
Those were the elusive legendary-tier spells—ones that even money couldn’t simply buy in a straightforward manner, as there would be added conditions aside from a massive sum.
A few circulated in shops from time to time, but they were extremely rare, and more often than not, aristocrats were already in talks with the shops about how they could acquire those spellbooks.
But then again, he was only here for a pitiful rare-tier mastercraft grade weapon artifact.
He could only admire the treasures he couldn’t lay his hands on.
