Chapter 52: Phoenix Wrym Pendent

Gideon spent some time going over each of the weapons and what they were capable of. The quality of these items were several levels above the ones sold at the Helstia Auction House.

Arthur and I looked at some things, I even wanted to take something for Lucy and Ash but none of these things here suited them.

Looking at each other for a moment, we shook our heads with a disapointed expresson, the mad scientist grumbled something foul.

Gideon eventually led us into a hidden storage room with precious gems and raw material that made my eyes twinkle in greed.

"This is an ironite diamond, one of the most valuable gems found on this continent. It has properties capable of storing a lot mana to use in case of an emergency."

Gideon studied our faces, hoping for an expression of satisfaction to appear, but it never did.

Gideon let out a defeated sigh. "Himes, can you bring me the pendants?" He asked, rubbing his temples.

"But Master, this was made so that..."

"I know! Just bring it!" Gideon interrupted his butler Himes, and eventually Himes comes back holding a small case with an even more intricate lock on it.

While everyone was busy, I took a huge blue diamond that seemed valuable for me and shiny as I placed it discretly inside Amaya. 'Im hustling bruv, gotta pay the bills... Even tho im already rich.'

"These are some of the products I made for the Royal Family. They've been asking for life protecting artifacts in case of any danger." He just shrugged his shoulder, any sense of confidence he once had nowhere in sight.

I picked up one of the two identical pendants to take a closer look while Art picked the other one. The main jewel was a very soft, yet radiant pink color carefully ornamented and decorated in a thin white-gold chain.

"I had some of the best designers work on the actual piece itself so it would be suitable for the Royal Family." He explained.

I willed a bit of mana into the pendant and when I did, I was vaguely able to see the outline of a mana beast I'd once read about. "This is made from a Phoenix Wyrm." I muttered.

"You were able to figure that out?" Gideon became even more intrigued at me as his eyes carefully studied me, trying to figure out exactly what I was capable of.

"Yeah, I already fought one before and killed it, I even have its mana core." I said taking a white small mana core from Amaya.

"YOU WHAAAT?! YOU DEFEATED A PHOENIX WYRM?!" Gideon jumped back a few steps after seeing the mythical and unique white mana core.

"You two will end up killing me by a heart attac..." Gideon squinted his eyes as he studied me closely. "Wait, wait... I recognise you, every one talks about you in and outside the kingdom. Your the Dragon Sin of Wrath!" His eyes almost came out of realisation.

"Yep, in bones and flesh, the one and only." I crossed my hands under my chest.

Gideon's mouth couldn't help but stay agape for a few seconds before bringing himself to us again. "Two monster came to visit me at the same day, same time, and they are twin brother... Just what are the odds for this to happen?"

Continuing on, Gideon explained. "While the phoenix wyrm isn't nearly as rare as the dragon species, this particular breed is still a high S class mana beast. They aren't really known for their power and combat capabilities but their unique ability to preserve their own life. When the phoenix wyrm is attacked, its pink or white scales will elongate and harden around them, forming a sort of cocoon."

This caught Arthur's interest, and Gideon continued.

"However, that's not even the best part. When the super hard cocoon they're protected in breaks, they deplete all of the mana in their beast core to instantly transport themselves to wherever they know they're safe. It's a very unique ability that I've only seen in the phoenix wyrm.

These two pendants are probably the most valuable artifacts I have. The jewel itself is made from the beast core of the phoenix wyrm and also small fragments of its scales, allowing it to reproduce the life-preserving effects of the beast, to a certain degree." He continued.

"How many times will the user be able to utilize the effects?" Arthur asked, studying the pendant even more closely.

"Honestly, I'm not too sure. The Glayder Family presented five of these beast cores that had been kept over time for generations. However, they didn't know what exactly these mana cores were capable of.

I imagine since the mana core doesn't completely deplete itself to transport a human, it'll work at least twice like the previous two cores I used to make the pendant did." He shifted his gaze from the pendants towards us with hopeful eyes.

"These are for the Glayder Family, right? Is it really all right for us to take these when the Glayder Family provided the raw materials for it?" Art asked.

"Well, like I said, they don't know what exactly those beast cores could do so if I just make a good replacement life preserving artifact, I think it'll be fine. Of course, if you choose to trade your blueprint for something else, that'd be even better." He revealed another toothy grin.

"Haha! I'm not that nice, Mr. Gideon. I'll take these two pendants." Art unrolled the blueprint and filled the rest of the key components that he had left out.
