Chapter 2020 Seven Objects
Lin Mu hadn't expected the secondary vault to be this empty. There were no piles upon piles of Immortal Gems or nearly stacked bricks of Immortal gold here. And neither were there any previous cultivation manuals or skill books.
Instead, there were only a few objects kept in the room which showed that their value far surpassed all other things in the previous room. For them to be stored in a Secure Spatial Storage Vault showed that they were not to be removed without expression permission.
Lin Mu narrowed his eyes and glanced at the few objects that were kept in the center of the room. There were seven objects here, and were a combination of weapons and tools.
Each of them were kept on an individual glass case and were secured with hundreds of runes. Of course, the power of the runes was not present since this was just a dream. Otherwise, there was a high chance Lin Mu's mere appearance here might have triggered the alarm.
The first object that caught Lin Mu's eye was also the biggest one. It looked like a high quality weapon and was a two headed spear.
Both of its spear heads were symmetrical and it had a brown wooden shaft that was carved with fine patterns, improving the grip as well as functioning as formations. It was about five meters long in total and the spear heads themselves were about a meter long each, which left the wooden shaft being about three meters in size.
The spear heads themselves were rather plain, with no grooves or patterns on them. They ended in sharp points and were double edged. It was clear that they could be used for both piercing as well as slashing.
"It's quite well made… But it's impossible to tell what grade it is." Lin Mu muttered to himself. He wished to opened the case, but was unable to as they were shut solid. 'I might have been able to break them open if I had my cultivation base perhaps.' Lin Mu thought to himself, but knew that it was all a wish.
He looked at the object that was kept next to it which was a cloth.
Or more accurately it was a white scarf that had flowing wave patterns on it. Upon looking closer, Lin Mu could see that each wave was actually countless runes written without a gap, causing them to look like curving lines. Lin Mu tried to read the runes, but they were far too small to make out properly.
He didn't have all his abilities after all.
"Can't tell much about this scarf." Lin Mu muttered to himself and moved onto the next weapon which was a pair of black daggers. This time though, the daggers actually had their name written on them.
"Yazi's Stained Left Fang and Yazi's Stained Right Fang." Lin Mu read the name on each dagger. The daggers looked quite deadly and had a fine edge that reflected Lin Mu's face. They were shaped like fangs, but weren't actually made out of Beast fangs. This was also where their name was carved.
Their handles on the other hand, were wrapped with leather strips, but it was hard to tell what kind of leather it was. It was also impossible to tell what materials were used below it. But the pommel of the dagger ended in a sharp hook, which stood out quite a lot.
The design was unconventional, but probably had some function behind it. "Naming it after the great beast Yazi… Whoever made it must be proud of his creation and its power." Lin Mu said, seeing the two daggers.
Lin Mu had read about the great beast Yazi, which was said to have descended from a dragon deity. It was said to have the body of a leopard and the head of a dragon. It had a ferocious nature and could fight for centuries without stopping.
To give a weapon its name was either a representative of its ferociousness or the foolishness of its creator.
Lin Mu didn't know for sure which aspect reflected here, but considering the fact that these pair of daggers were kept in such a secure vault, he thought it to be the first.
'I wish I could've seen just what grade these daggers are,' Lin Mu thought to himself for a moment.
He shook his head and moved into the next tool, which was an octagonal bell. It had a hoop with a particular shape at the top, through which a ring was inserted.
The hoop was shaped like a beast that Lin Mu could not recognize.
"Interesting…" Lin Mu took note of the design and hoped to learn what it was later when he woke up.
He thought that either the Saintess or Senior Xukong should certainly know about that beast. The fifth object was another weapon being a hatchet.
It had a short handle, being about thirty centimeters long and had a ten centimeter wide blade. It was clearly meant to be used as a ranged weapon and intended for throwing at foes. Its power was hard to estimate too, since there was nothing to judge from.
The axehead was sharp and had no runes on it. 'They're probably imprinted inside it.' Lin Mu guessed, since there was nothing on the surface. The sixth and final weapon was a sword. It was about a meter long and had a slim curved blade. It was a sword type that Lin Mu was familiar with and had even used it in the past when he had learned the Thousand Armament Blade scripture.
"A Shamshir… this is certainly a high grade weapon. It's also a pure forging type." Lin Mu had no issues estimating it this time since the forging marks on the blade were a proof of it.
The seventh and final object in the hall was a wooden box. It rested upon a pillow in the glass case and was closed.
"I won't be able to tell what's inside—" But before Lin Mu could finish his words, the box opened automatically.
~shua~
And inside it laid a ring.
"This… It's this!?"
