Chapter 119 Rich Treasure
Some of these high-level magic gems are superior substitutes for ordinary magic gems.

For example, the ruby, which represents the magic of fire, has the fire opal as its superior substitute, and the cat’s eye, which represents the magic of prophecy, has the moonstone as its superior substitute.

Of course, there are also some simple high-level magic gems that have unique functions.

For example, the so-called——【Tears of the King】.

Sometimes called Frozen Tears or Lich’s Weep, this extremely rare gem is clear, teardrop-shaped, smooth, and extremely hard; in fact, it cannot be broken, cut, or chipped even with a hammer and a furnace.

Only the crying of a dead king or a female king in sorrow can form such a rare gem.

The effect of this gem is also extremely powerful. According to Nemesis’ memory, if it is embedded in a scepter, the caster’s magical power can be increased by two levels.

The same spell will become more and more powerful as the mage’s level increases. The temperature of a fireball cast by a fifth-level mage may only be a few hundred to nearly a thousand, but the temperature of a fireball cast by a legendary mage may even reach around five or six thousand!

That is to say, if a level 10 wizard casts a fireball while holding the Scepter of King’s Tears, its power is equivalent to that of a fireball cast by a level 12 wizard.

And in the pile of gems that Nemesis had just scanned, there was a teardrop-shaped gem that he had seen a long time ago. It was the King’s Tear.

He will use this King’s Tear to forge a scepter. As for the remaining high-level magic gems, perhaps they can shorten his adulthood time to less than ten years!
After the gems were distributed, it was the turn of the magic items on the shelves.

Excluding the crown on the top layer that was no longer there, there were a total of four layers on the shelf, with four treasures remaining.

The second layer is three prismatic gems that gather together and circle continuously, in pearl white, ruby ​​red, and the most dazzling rainbow color.

The third layer is a milky white pearl that constantly exudes amazing magic power.

The fourth floor has two magic items, a book with a blue cover, and an ornate helmet covered with various gems.

“Is this an Ion Stone? Oh my god, is this a Mana Regeneration Pearl? A ninth-level one at that? Wait, is this the Scroll of Meditation? No, this is the Scroll of Mastery?!” Audrey yelled at the side, the light in her eyes almost bursting out.

Catherine, who was standing by, was also a little emotional, looking at the helmet with longing.

Nemesis had now recognized each magic item and their specific functions.

First are the three stones on the second layer, which are also called Ion stones. They are the magical items most commonly worn by arcanists in the ancient Netheril Empire. These stones will rotate above the caster’s head and grant them various abilities. They can be said to be very light and powerful magical items.

The pearly white Ioun Stone will give the holder the effect of healing spells anytime and anywhere. It can be said that if the holder has a good physical attribute, with this Ioun Stone, he can almost become an immortal god of war.

The ruby-red Ioun Stone will grant its holder powerful spell penetration and enhance the magical power of first-level spellcasters like the King’s Tears. This is the favorite Ioun Stone of arcanists, as it can make creatures with strong magic resistance feel the charm of spells.

Finally, there is the most precious rainbow-like Ion Stone – the spellcaster who wears it will have a deep connection with the magic network, greatly improving the three-dimensional attributes of the spirit, with intelligence, charm, and perception all increasing by six points.

Nemesis did not hesitate and gave one of the options to the Ioun Stone, and he immediately took the three Ioun Stones.

After choosing one item first, Nemesis stepped back and gave the choice to Audrey and Gavinas. No matter what they chose, the remaining one would be theirs.

But he already has a goal.

Without any hesitation, Jiafuna took the helmet, which was a magical item called the [Glorious Helmet].

This helmet is made of silver and steel, with ten diamonds, twenty fire opals, thirty rubies, and forty cat’s eyes on it. This helmet can release the seventh-level spell [Rainbow Spray], the fifth-level spell [Fire Wall], the third-level spell [Fireball], and [Daylight].

Each time a spell is cast, a gem will be shattered. [Rainbow Jet] corresponds to diamonds, and so on. Until the gems are used up, the helmet can no longer cast spells unless it is filled with gems again.

Not only that, [Glorious Helmet] will also continuously cause positive energy damage to undead creatures within a radius of thirty feet, which does not consume gems.

For Catherine, this helmet greatly enhanced her offensive means. After all, [Swordsinger] did not have very high-level magic to cast, so it was undoubtedly more suitable compared to the remaining two.

When she got to Audrey, she hesitated for a moment before making her choice.

The Book of Mastery is a mysterious artifact similar to the Book of Meditation. When the reader spends six days reading it, the reader’s spiritual attributes will increase and the book will burn.

The Volume of Meditation increases the intelligence attribute, while the Volume of Proficiency increases the perception attribute. For a sea wizard who relies on intelligence to cast spells, Audrey does not need the Volume of Proficiency at all.

So she chose something else – the ninth level mana regeneration pearl.

This precious legendary magic item can restore the holder’s two ninth-level spell slots, or four eighth-level spell slots, or six seventh-level spell slots, and so on every day.

For the vast majority of spellcasters, this mana regeneration pearl is the best of the best. After all, spell slots are an extremely scarce resource for them.

However, this pearl is useless to Nemesis. He has more than enough spell slots to use up, and recovering a few spell slots every day is insignificant to him.

Seeing that Audrey chose the Mana Regeneration Pearl, Nemesis nodded with satisfaction. Yes, he had wanted to choose the Scroll of Knowledge from the beginning. After all, it was the most precious thing in his opinion. Even the properties added by the Ioun Stone would become invalid the moment it was taken off. Only a rare item like the Scroll of Knowledge could truly increase his own strength.

However, compared to the Tome of Knowledge, the Ioun Stone was undoubtedly more attractive to Audrey than the Mana Regeneration Pearl, so in order to get both, the cunning Tome Dragon chose the Ioun Stone first, leaving behind the Tome of Knowledge which was not needed by either Audrey or Catherine.

“Very good, then I will accept the book.”

Nemesis accepted the Book of Knowledge, which made Audrey feel a little guilty. After all, in his opinion, Nemesis, who was also a wizard, didn’t need this thing, and in the end he could only use it to exchange for money.

After distributing the spoils, the three of them returned to the starting point contentedly. Catherine stretched out her hand and cut her palm. A large amount of blood sprayed on the door, and the door seemed to be activated and opened again.

The sea water poured in, and the three took the opportunity to leave. Nemesis found Raphael waiting for them outside the door.

“Please give me back the key, beautiful lady.” Raphael stretched out his hand to Audrey and smiled.

“Isn’t this Scaled Sky owned by that elf?” Nemesis asked with a frown.

Raphael shook his finger: “That elf existed 30,000 years ago. How could it be possible that the treasure house contains so many relics from generations of Netheril?”

“The things on that bookshelf were all collected by a later human wizard. He used the indestructibility of the Scaled Sky to protect his collection. Even the arcane seal was set by that human wizard.”

“As the owner who signed a contract with him and obtained his soul, that is, me, naturally owns this Scale Armor.” Raphael said proudly.

Audrey was a little indignant, but she knew that she was no match for the Earl of Hell, so she had no choice but to hand over the key honestly.
