Skill Extraction: Exploring Dungeons
Chapter 907 - 784: Three-Color Equipment
"Is this a divine artifact?"
The crowd asked somewhat in amazement.
The reason they were so surprised was simply that it shouldn't have appeared in this vault.
Even if Facundo were generous, everything in this vault was stuff he couldn't use at all.
In fact, most of the equipment Kane and his group couldn't really use.
It's just valuable, that's all.
Especially for Lirulu, she only swapped out some golden equipment that suited her.
The attributes and effects it brought her could only be described as better than nothing.
After all, Lirulu was ultimately tri-colored level.
Similarly, Facundo was also tri-colored level.
No matter how generous he was, would he give the equipment he could use to Kane and his group?
This was obviously unrealistic.
After all, this vault far exceeded the difficulty Kane and his group needed to accomplish their goal.
In other words, it was an uneven trade.
More so, Facundo wanted to establish good relations with Kane and his group.
But then, Facundo did place a piece of colored equipment in this magical treasure vault.
A divine artifact.
As this small space was opened, a note floated down.
Kane reached out to catch it.
He opened it and looked.
It was exactly a message from Facundo.
"Don't be puzzled, this item is a gift for you all."
"For me, it's utterly useless, but for you, it might be very important."
No matter what the attributes of this tri-colored equipment were, Kane and his group owed a big favor.
It can be seen, perhaps due to some circumstances that made Facundo feel Kane and his group's potential was definitely worth the enormous cost to build ties with.
To this, Kane could only say, good judgment.
"Quickly, take a look, good brother."
Longbei said somewhat eagerly nearby.
Not just Longbei, Kreya and the others beside him were equally bursting with curiosity.
They were equally curious about what exactly this piece of equipment emitting colorful light was.
"Alright, alright, don't rush, I'll take a look."
With that, Kane took a deep breath and reached inside, taking out the piece of equipment emitting colorful light.
"...A, statue?"
Kane couldn't help but feel a bit puzzled as he looked at the object in his hands.
It was a humanoid statue, its facial features were vague, but one could discern a trace of a loving female face.
The statue was in a posture of holding something in both arms, and the thing being held seemed to be a baby.
"A statue of a loving mother holding a child?"
Kane couldn't help but say.
This statue appeared to be in such a posture.
The problem was that whether it was the material or the sculpting technique, it seemed a bit too rough.
Not only Kane, but Kreya and the others beside him were also a bit puzzled.
Whether to the eye or the touch, this didn't feel like a tri-colored piece of equipment.
The difference from their imagination was too vast.
"Appraise it, don't rush."
Kane said as he began to identify the statue in his hands.
[Stone Mother's Statue of Love]
[Statue]
[Color: Tri-colored]
[Attributes:]
[Health Blessing] (Bestow a blessing upon an entire entity, ensuring the health of those within.)
[Blessing of Fertility] (Bestow a blessing upon an entire entity, ensuring safety during childbirth for those within.)
[Blessing of Reproduction] (Bestow a blessing upon an entire entity, making it easier for those within to produce offspring.)
[Child Blessing] (Bestow a blessing upon an entire entity, enhancing the health and potential of the children within.)
[Skills: Descendant Ceremony] (Conduct a grand ceremony with family as the unit.
After the ceremony, all participating children will receive a blessing, and newly born generations of the family post-ceremony will receive blessings.
The effect of the blessing increases based on the number of families participating and the health and happiness of the families.
Held once a year at a fixed time.)
[Introduction: In a certain large world, there is a Supreme Divine Power known as the Stone Mother (on par with the Mist), who ascended to godhood through worldly motherly love, children, nurturing, reproduction, and health.
This is a statue personally blessed by her, carved by a loving, impoverished family.]
The value of this item is entirely determined by necessity.
For individuals, this item could almost be said to be useless.
The only use could possibly be to sell it for money.
However, once the properties of this item reach the ears of various factions, especially those nations,
They would indeed wage war for it.
This is entirely worthwhile.
An item blessed by an existence on par with the Mist, completely filled with rules it represents.
Just like the badge on Kane and his group's chests.
The main thing was, Kane never expected the statue to be used in such a manner.
For a faction, if this item couldn't be called a divine artifact, what could?
It's just that Kane didn't expect his first colored piece of equipment would be like this.
Luckily for them, it indeed qualified as a divine artifact.
Because they could definitely use it.
"How is it? What is this thing?"
Kreya asked from the side.
After hearing Kane's answer, everyone's expression was a bit strange.
Thinking about it that way, the words Facundo wrote on the note just now weren't wrong.
To him, as a God of the Dead, this thing can be described as utterly useless.
While Kane had him help protect Lantern Territory, he must have slightly observed Kane's forces.
That's why he left this thing to Kane.
For Kane's overall forces, this can be completely described as a Divine Artifact.
First of all, Kane's territory is so vast that even if all the refugees are transported over, there are only just over two million people.
Yet Kane's territory spans over eighteen million square kilometers.
This is just a rough estimate.
What's the use of such a small population?
Most of Kane's territory can now be described as wasteland.
No way, there's simply no people.
Even though Kane and various research initiatives have brought many intelligent magic devices.
Ultimately, they need people to operate them, people to collaborate.
Many materials and resources across the entire territory are simply too late to develop and discover.
And this equipment.
Will make Kane's overall forces stronger and stronger as time goes by.
Moreover, they don't lack food, so they can completely encourage fertility policies.
It won't take many years for their population to grow rapidly.
Children, no matter where they are, children are the future, no doubt about it.
And this thing is to make this future healthier, smarter, more energetic.
And most importantly, more talented.
No country or force would chose having too many talented children.
The overall reference here is a force.
Meaning Kane can directly bless the entire country.
It seems Lantern Territory and the Platinum Country must merge into one unified force.
Otherwise, one side will miss out on this blessing's augmentation.
Kreya thought for a moment and asked, "When do you plan to use this thing?"
Clearly, the earlier you use this piece of equipment, the better.
Letting it collect dust for a year feels like wasting a year.
Looking at the statue in his hand, Kane placed it into the space equipment.
He carefully placed it in the space equipment specifically used for storing valuable items.
"I plan to wait for Lantern Territory's nation-building, naming it the Platinum Country, and merge it with the existing Platinum Country to form one nation.
Then I'll take out the statue for use, blessing the entire country."
After hearing Kane's answer, everyone nodded in agreement, it was indeed a very good decision.
"Kane, can you let Lilylu take a look at this equipment first?"
Always floating nearby, Lilylu, who had been frowning, suddenly asked.
"Of course."
Although he didn't yet know why Lilylu needed it, he still retrieved it from the space equipment and handed it to Lilylu.
Lilylu didn't take it but circled the statue, examining it closely with closed eyes.
"Is it really?"
After a short while, Lilylu opened her eyes, seemingly having discovered something, and nodded her head.
Seeing Lilylu's state, Kane asked, "What's up, did you find something?"
"Lilylu was sensing the rules concerning the children on this, though not necessarily suitable for Lilylu, it indeed provided her with great inspiration."
After speaking, Lilylu powerfully clenched her right fist and struck it against her left palm.
Her voice carried a sense of determination.
"I've decided; Lilylu will establish a Fairy Tale Academy in the Platinum Country!"
"Fairy Tale Academy?"
The crowd wondered.
"Yes, a school specifically for nurturing Fairy Tale Mages, starting from childhood, definitely cultivating highly skilled Fairy Tale Mages."
As she spoke, Lilylu couldn't help but joyfully spin in the air, her expression revealing that she was dreaming of the future again.
Then Lilylu patted her cheeks and clenched her fists to encourage herself.
"I won't be talking with you any longer; Lilylu must go back to prepare. Once Kane establishes the nation, I'll open the school!"
"Good luck!"
With those words, Lilylu left the treasure vault.
"Fairy Tale Academy, huh? It's quite a good idea."
Watching Lilylu's departing figure, Kane rubbed his chin and spoke involuntarily.
"Oh, and Lilylu needs some treasures."
Lilylu's voice sounded again as she returned.
She then waved her magic staff, magically causing a large chunk of gold coins to disappear from thin air, before disappearing again.
Upon seeing this, Kreya shook her head helplessly: "Why is she always so anxious?"
Meanwhile, Longbei stated seriously: "I need to head out too, I have to work on improving my strength."
Having said that, he similarly vanished on the spot.
He needs to quickly improve to tri-color, otherwise, if Lilylu, his little rival, gets ahead, times will be difficult ahead.
Meizike nodded at the two and left the space too.
Watching the departing crowd, Kreya turned towards Kane: "And you, Kane, what do you plan to do?"
"I have to delegate these tasks, and go to the guild hall, also prepare these equipment, discuss the nation-building plan with those officials..."
The more Kane spoke, the more he realized there were too many tasks awaiting him after having been away.
There are many new matters that need handling.
Some things require him to do personally.
Seeing Kane's somewhat dejected face, Kreya hugged him with a smile.
"It's alright, I can help you too; I've dealt with some of these matters before."
Hearing Kreya's words, Kane smiled and kissed her on the lips.
"Then thanks to Lady Kreya's help, it's an honor to work with you."
"Heh, cheeky."
Their figures vanished in the treasure vault.
Only several intelligent cores remained diligently organizing and calculating the vast array of treasures.
