Chapter 366

“Treasure trove?”

Delay asked back.

“Yeah. I want to see if there’s anything in there that I want or not.”

Ming Hu would have to return to the Kingdom of Elpanus to complete the Ranked Quest and take the Royal Test. He could check the Treasure Vault then, but he wanted to do it now.

After answering Delay’s counter-question, Ming Hu opened his inventory and used the box containing the key to the palace treasury that he had received from Raen earlier.

[The chest containing the key to the palace treasure room].

[You have obtained the key to the Royal Treasury].

When he used the box, it disappeared from his inventory and a key appeared. Ming Hu immediately checked the key’s information.

A key to a treasure trove in the Kingdom of Elpanus.

It was a simple, straightforward explanation.

“But how many are free for you?”

After confirming the information, Ming Hu closed the inventory and asked Jie Li.

“I have one!”

Ming Hu’s question was answered by Jianli. After listening to the answer, Ming Hu thought.

“That’s a lot of difference.

The first place winner, Ming Hu, was able to purchase 5 items for free. The difference in rewards from second place, Delay, seemed to be quite large.

“You?”

This time, Delay asked.

“I have five. What a difference.”

“Wow.”

Ming Hu’s answer made Jian Chen exclaim with admiration. So Ming Hu and Jian Chen talked and walked as Lao Yan had told them, and they soon arrived at the palace treasury.

“Would you like to see the key?”

The knight guarding the warehouse opened his mouth and spoke. Hearing the knight’s words, Ming Hu and Jie Li opened their inventory, took out a key, and showed it to the knight.

“Let me walk you through it.”

The knight smiled at the key, then turned and started walking away. Ming Hu and Jie Li followed the knight into the warehouse.

“Magic circle?

Entering the warehouse, or what he thought was a warehouse, Ming Hu couldn’t help but shake his head at the multiple magic circles that came into view. Did he see that? The knight opened his mouth to explain.

“The first ward on the far left is the Warp Warehouse, which is connected to the Weapons Warehouse, the second ward to the right of the first ward is connected to the Armor Warehouse, the third ward is connected to the Trinket Warehouse, and the fourth and final ward is connected to the Miscellaneous Warehouse, which contains various gems and magical ingredients.”

The magic circle was a warp magic circle connected to the warehouse. Ming Hu nodded in understanding at the Empire’s different methods and told the knight.

“Can I just go up there?”

“Yes, you have the key, so you can go to the warehouse you want to go to. On your way back, you’ll need to do the same thing, up the magic circle, and I’ll leave you to it.”

The driver finished his explanation, turned around, and walked out of the building. Ming Hu watched the knight leave and said to Liu Zhen.

“Where are you going?”

“You?”

Delay asked in response to Myung-Hoo’s question.

“I’m going to go to the guitar shed first.”

In response to Delay’s question, Ming Hu smiled wryly. There was only one reason Ming Hu wanted to go to the guitar warehouse.

“Elixir!

The Empire’s other warehouses were full of elixirs. It was entirely possible that there were elixirs here, too, and if so, they would be in the Guitar Warehouse. Ming Hu wanted to see if there were any elixirs.

“Right, I’m going to the armory.”

At Ming Hu’s words, Jiayi smiled broadly and looked at the leftmost Weapon Warehouse Warp Magic Circle.

“Armory?”

“Yeah, I’ll trade in my weapon for a good one!”

“…?”

Delay’s words left Ming Hu puzzled.

“Does Delay have a weapon?

He had never seen her use a weapon before. Therefore, Ming Hu assumed that Jie Li didn’t use weapons, but it turns out that’s not the case.

“You use weapons?”

Ming Hu asked.

“Huh? Yeah! Of course!”

He nodded and replied with a look that said the delay was understandable.

“What’s the weapon?”

Ming Hu scanned Jian Chen’s exterior. No matter how he looked, he couldn’t see any weapons. At Ming Hu’s words, Jian Chen smiled wryly.

“Hehe, I don’t usually see it. Hold on.”

Siaak

As he finished speaking, nine tails appeared from behind Delay’s ass. They always looked appetizing.

“That tail?

Ming Hu looked at the nine fluttering tails and wondered, could it be that they were weapons of delay?

“This is it.”

But the delay that followed showed Ming Hu that he was wrong.

“Marbles?

Ming Hu looked at Jie’s hand. In her hand was a small, if not tiny, bead about ten centimeters in diameter. It emitted a strange light.

“Is that it?”

“Huh? Huh.”

Jie Yi said, and Ming Hu nodded. Ming Hu nodded, and the orb floating in Jian Chen’s hand disappeared, as did the nine fluttering tails.

“See you then!”

Delay then spoke to Ming Hu and approached the warp magic circle at the armory.

“Yeah, see you later.”

Ming Hu responded to Delay’s words and approached the Guitar Warehouse Warp Magic Circle.

[I have the key].

[Warp Circle is activated as normal].

[Warp to the Guitar Warehouse after 10 seconds].

As I moved up the magic circle, a message appeared.

[Warp to Other Warehouse].

Ten seconds later, a message appeared and Ming Hu warped to the Guitar Warehouse.

[Warp to the warehouse entrance after 10 seconds].

[If you do not wish to warp, please leave the magic circle].

Arriving at the Guitar Warehouse, Ming Hu saw the message and quickly exited the magic circle, then looked around.

“Wow.”

Ming Hu couldn’t help but be impressed by the structure of the guitar warehouse.

“How many floors is this all on?”

Other warehouses in Elpanus’ kingdom were not one-story. It was a circular tower with a gaping hole in the center. Ming Hu looked up and saw the ceiling. It looked very high.

“How much is on the shelf?”

Ming Hu, who was looking at the ceiling, looked down again and saw the items on the first floor. The size of the first floor was not very large due to the high number of floors, but the variety of items on display was enormous compared to its size.

“The higher you go, the less you have?”

Ming Hu muttered to himself and began to peruse the items on display on the first floor. Ming Hu had come here to find elixirs.

“Nothing on the first floor again.”

As expected, there were no elixirs on the first floor. Not expecting to find elixirs on the first floor, Ming Hu took the stairs to the second floor and began perusing the items on display.

“Not here either.”

Like the first floor, the elixir was nowhere to be found on the second floor. Ming Hu continued up the stairs in search of the elixir.

‘Last floor…’

When Ming Hu didn’t see any elixirs on the seventh floor, he looked at the stairs leading up to the eighth floor, the top floor of the Guitar Warehouse. If it wasn’t on the eighth floor, then there was no elixir here.

“The Elixir Chamber was at the end.

But Ming Hu had a glimmer of hope. The elixir chamber, filled with elixirs, was also located at the end of the warehouse. There was a possibility that it could be the same here.

Jumbled

Soon, Ming Hu was able to reach the eighth floor.

“…”

Arriving at the eighth floor, Ming Hu wordlessly began to slowly scan the interior of the eighth floor.

“Nothing.”

After checking all the items on display, Ming Hu muttered to himself in disappointment. There were no elixirs on the eighth floor either. Apparently, elixirs didn’t exist in this Elpanus Kingdom Guitar Warehouse. No, it was clear that it didn’t exist.

“Huh.”

Ming Hu let out a short sigh and turned to go downstairs.

Stop!

But when he turned, what he saw stopped him in his tracks. Ming Hu turned his head and saw what had stopped him in his tracks.

“What are those powders?”

It was the powders in the sack that gave Ming Hu pause. He hadn’t realized it until after he’d glanced through them in search of the elixir, but now he realized something was wrong.

“Those colors are…”

The strange thing was the color of the powder.

“It looks the same color as the elixir.”

The powders in the sack were of different colors, and the colors were like the colors of the elixirs.

“…No way.”

Ming Hu had a sudden thought and quickly walked over to the other side of the aisle where the powders were displayed.

“…”

Soon arriving on the other side, Ming Hu checked the information on the sack full of reddish-colored powder on the leftmost display.

A sack containing Power Powder, an essential ingredient for making Power Elixirs. The amount of potions produced depends on the amount of powder in the sack and your crafting capacity, with a maximum of 100 potions being produced when full.

Merit required: 500,000

“…”

After checking the item information, Minghu couldn’t say anything.

‘Can you brew a potion of strength?

Ming Hu turned away from the item information and looked at the sack of power powder. The sack was filled with power powder.

“One hundred of these sacks?

The item’s information said it could make up to 100 of them if the sack was full of powder, depending on the crafting ability. Ming Hu turned his gaze away from the sack and looked at the area where it was displayed, which was filled with sacks of power powder.

Sigh

Ming Hu put the sack down and turned his head to look at the next shelf, which contained a sack of green powder. Ming Hu reached over and checked the information on the sack.

A sack containing Agility Powder, an essential ingredient for making Agility Elixirs. The amount of potions produced depends on the amount of powder in the sack and your crafting capacity, with a maximum of 100 potions being produced when full.

Merit required: 500,000

The green powder was actually Nimble Powder, an essential ingredient in the Nimble Elixir.

“Again.”

It was as expected. Ming Hu set the sack down and looked at the other colored sacks on the shelf next to it.

“Stamina, intellect, and wisdom.”

He hadn’t checked, but he was sure. Ming Hu opened his inventory, picked up the sack, and put it in his inventory. No, he tried to put it in.

“Alas, we’re in trouble.”

A sudden thought stopped Ming Hu in his tracks.

“You said it applies from the beginning, right?”

With the quest reward, Ming Hu was able to purchase five items without spending any merit. He almost spent his reward on a sack that only costs half a million.

“Hold on a second. I’ll be right back.”

Ming Hu closed his inventory and set the sack down. He muttered something to himself as he looked at the sack, then quickly turned around and ran back to the first floor.
