The magic queen's dressing box (1)

Weapons imbued with magical powers are called magic weapons, while those imbued with magical powers but not weapons are called magic props. However, whether it is a magic weapon or a magic prop, it is just a name. They are both classified by quality, which is called "rank."

For example, the magic weapon Anger Thunder Cavalry Gun lying in the Drogo ring is a seventh-rank magic weapon, which is already a rare treasure. But it is only seventh rank. What about eighth rank, ninth rank, or even higher?

When it comes to ninth rank or higher, the quality of magic weapons or magic props can no longer be described by rank, because even a 12th-rank archmage cannot create a magic weapon or magic prop higher than ninth rank.

When it goes beyond ninth rank, it is already beyond human capability. Such quality can only be called a "divine artifact." Although human cannot achieve this, it does not mean that people will not try. Therefore, during the heyday of the ancient magical empire, the powerful ones who had reached the pinnacle of wisdom and power had created numerous ninth-rank magic weapons or magic props.

Such magic weapons and magic props are still within the ninth rank, but they are infinitely close to the realm beyond human capability, and their power and special effects are incomparable to ordinary ninth-rank magic weapons. Because they have not yet reached the level of divine artifacts but are far superior to ordinary magic weapons, people have given this level of magic weapons or magic props a very vivid name: "semi-divine artifact."

However, after a long period of time, as the empire collapsed, the production techniques of magic, including the production of magic weapons, gradually declined and almost disappeared into the river of history. Now, after thousands of years of reproduction, although magic has revived, it is still far from the era of the ancient magical empire. As for the production technology of magic weapons, it is even more lacking. As for the originally numerous semi-divine artifacts, there are only a few left, stored in the treasure troves of individual powerful individuals or kingdoms and have not been seen in the world again.

Half-artifacts are so rare that Gleson, with all his knowledge, naturally didn't recognize it. Not only him, but also the vast majority of the Mage Guild didn't recognize it. Otherwise, this so-called soul-gathering box wouldn't have ended up in Gleson's hands.

Without any unexpected turns of events, it was likely that this soul-gathering box would be completely buried in Gleson's hands. But now it won't, because Drogo happened to appear here and because Gleson showed it to him.

Drogo himself naturally wouldn't recognize the half-artifact from the Ancient Magic Empire, and even the memories of Matthew that he possessed didn't have any trace of a half-artifact. But he just happened to recognize it because he had another soul inside him, a contract servant, the Underworld General, Wynne.

When Gleson took out the soul-gathering box, Wynne, who had been sleeping inside Drogo, immediately woke up. The first thing she said after waking up was, "Master, you must get it."

Her urgent demeanor made Drogo understand at once that Gleson's soul-gathering box was definitely not simple.

After listening to Wynne's quick explanation, Drogo only knew that Wynne not only recognized the soul-gathering box as a half-artifact, but she had actually seen it with her own eyes before she was sealed away.

The origin of this half-artifact is not trivial at all. It is actually a personal belonging of the first Magic Empress, Phyllis. Its name is not the soul-gathering box, but is called the "Magic Empress's Vanity Box".

Yes, it is the Magic Empress Phyllis's Vanity Box, a half-artifact quality vanity box. Its function is certainly not just a vanity box. Inside it is a magic array jointly arranged by thirty great wizards, storing the same amount of magic power as the Magic Empress herself, and it can automatically replenish after consumption.

It's easy to imagine that with the help of this vanity box, the Magic Queen, who already possesses incredible power, would have the equivalent of another powerful archmage constantly channeling magic power to her, resulting in a terrifying level of combat capability.

"Master, you must obtain the vanity box of the Magic Queen. I have a way for you to utilize the magic power stored inside," was the last thing Wynne said to Drogo.

Drogo didn't immediately agree to Wynne's proposal, he just asked her to calm down. He didn't trust this woman. He could think of the real reason why she reminded him, which was probably related to the possibility that the vanity box could be linked to him breaking the seal for her.

But no matter what, Drogo had to admit that he was tempted. Even if Wynne's intentions were not pure, the semi-artifact still had enough appeal to Drogo.

"Respected Lord Gleson, this is your treasure. How can I take it?" Drogo shook his hand at Gleson, with a feeling of being both afraid to accept it and pleasantly surprised.

Gleson had also given up, he didn't know that the Spirit Gathering Box was the vanity box of the Magic Queen, but he understood its value. He was now completely trying to win over Drogo, so he reluctantly parted with it.

Looking at Drogo's expression, he forced out a smile that was worse than crying and said, "Nonsense, there's nothing I can't bear. I have a very good impression of you and hope to explore the mysteries of magic together in the future. Let's not say anything more, I'll give you this little thing."
