Chapter 447: Picking Treasure

The princess was surprised to see hear these words. It was exactly her thought. But Jin Rou just destroyed her imagination saying it was pretty impossible. However, she had already thought of this. But she couldn't just let go of such a good item. After all, it was the rumored Box of Algeya!

The Box of Algeya was discovered by Firemage Zenith in the time immemorial. The item had been with him for millions of years until his ultimate death because of a death match. This box was said to have the ability to store plant-type beasts and nurture them in a least amount of time. In other words, the pets that would be stored here would have their power increased by several times!

However, there was a disadvantage for this. It could only store one beast at a time and when a beast was stored, it couldn't be taken out unless you destroy the box.

The Box of Algeya might be useless for most cultivators, but to those who have beasts as their pets, this was a grand treasure to keep. Unfortunately for Shale, the box wasn't meant for her.

She bit her lower lip and didn't say anything. But she was filled with indignation. The treasure was already in front of her yet she couldn't get it because someone told her it was useless.

Jin Rou could see this expression and he eventually sighed, "Fine. If you want to have that box, you may. But don't tell me that I didn't remind you of it."

Again, the princess didn't say anything. It was not like she wasn't willing, she just didn't know what to say. Although Jin Rou had already given his permission, there's was this feeling that she was uncomfortable with.

Jin Rou didn't bother the princess anymore and minded his own business. It was her choice in the end, after all. He just gave her a worthy advice.

He looked at the two items that captured his attention and studied them carefully. These were the two treasures that Jin Rou had taken a liking.

One was a plain flat sword with no engraves or jewels to speak of. It just looked like a normal sword with no power at all. However, experts on Jin Rou's level could determine that it wasn't any ordinary sword. In fact, it could even contend against law swords!

The other was a mirror with golden features. One glance and you could already determine that it was a grand treasure of its own level.

Jin Rou didn't know what to pick. So he asked the king and said, "Between these two, what do you think should I choose?"

Since he was having a hard time choosing, then might as well ask for an advice from a fellow expert.

"Hmmm." The king pondered for a moment. He was taking this seriously. After a few minutes, he answered, "Well, if you are going for a offense and defense at the same time, then you should pick the sword. But if you're going for an ultimate offense, then go with the mirror. If it was me, I'll go with the mirror. After all, I love taking the offense as earlier as possible."

Jin Rou thought of this deeply. Indeed, the two items had their own advantage and disadvantage but their pros toppled everything. After a few seconds, Jin Rou picked the mirror and said, "I'll choose this too, then."

He decided to take the mirror which was capable of taking out a large amount of offense capabilities.

"Good choice." The king praised Jin Rou for his choice. Honestly speaking, the sword was good on its own but it wasn't enough to deter enemies of law's level. After all, it would eventually break after a few hundreds of clashes against them. On the other side, the mirror wouldn't break. After all, it would not have any contact with the enemy. So putting practicality in the front, choosing the mirror was indeed the best choice to have.

Jin Rou smiled and accepted the praise. He was also thinking the same. However, the difference was that upon careful observation of the sword, it wasn't that simple as the king concluded. In fact, it could be the best sword that Jin Rou had seen! But he didn't choose it, as it had many requirements to activate show its final form. Jin Rou didn't have the time for that.

Anyway, it was better for this sword to be remained unknown for the rest of the world. It was better to be kept here rather than see the light and people would go and kill each other for this treasure.

Jin Rou observed the golden mirror on his hand. It was prettier when near and was excluding a tad amount of nobility. It was like it was created for the noble people of the world. After a few more observations, he kept the mirror into his inventory and looked at the king and said, "Thank you."

The king laughed, "You don't need to thank me. It is my responsibility to give you a treasure since you managed to find this place. Besides, it is within the rules. So there's no need to thank me at all."

Jin Rou didn't comment on this but he smiled. He then looked at the princess who was having a hard time and said, "Want me to choose for you?"

The princess was taken aback by this sudden offer. Eventually, she agreed as she couldn't decide what to choose.

Jin Rou scanned those treasures that she had taken a liking to one by one. Then, after a careful observation of the treasures, Jin Rou pointed at a little red rose hanging by the formation, "This is the best treasure I can choose for you. It aligns with you so the compatability will not be a problem. Besides, with your power you can easily maneuver this rose to its ultimate extent."

Hearing this, the princess' heart skipped a beat. She hurriedly chose the rose treasure as if it would be gone after a few seconds.
