''Congratulations Young Miss, you will definitely achieve great things in this year's tournament.'' The concubines around her immediately smiled and congratulated B1, but the annoyance in their eyes was clearly visible.
They were already thinking of ways to hurriedly have children after seeing the benefits brought by a young heir and now this feeling is even stronger! If B1 is allowed to develop unimpeded it is likely she will be a strong influence in the future.
Of course the idea of actually affecting her development never came to their minds, the only thought was to produce an heir who could compete with her.
But B1 was too distracted to notice the scheming around her, she was focused on the two Pseudo-Artifacts she was allowed to take!
Immediately she left for the family treasury, politely greeted the now 20 Warriors guarding the entrance and headed into the large room holding the Organisations treasures.
Over this time there have been quite a few things collected, including equipment that has not yet reached the level of Pseudo-Artifacts and many Space Backpacks. There are also a lot of more irrelevant resources collected from the corpses of warriors on the battlefields.
However this was just the first floor, B1 passed by all of these resources and headed down a large set of stairs to the second floor. There were at least ten large gates constructed out of Spiritual Metals and Corpses of Eleflares.
These were the hard work of the Dogs of War over the years, they are extremely expensive costing dozens of Spiritual Crystals to produce, but Samuel is confident that they can defend from multiple High Rank 1 Warriors!
B1 once again greeted the guards at the entrance to the second hall, there were another 20 defending the door.
Inside the second floor of the treasury, there were the herbs that were collected over the years. Large glass cases held plants and vines, giant jade cases held the more common herbs and there were even little plant pots with extremely common herbs.
Although this might seem like a lot, in fact the value of this room is probably less than 50 Spiritual Crystals altogether.
As for the third floor, after another two giant gates and twenty more guards, B1 came across the more valuable items. This is where the Spiritual Crystals and the Pseudo-Artifacts are held.
Over this war period, many Pseudo-Artifacts were picked up from the dead Warriors so a small collection had appeared.
Other than the Pseudo-Artifacts that were handed out to the Dogs of War, there were still around a dozen left. They were divided into two sections along the large metal walls.
One side had three sets of Armour, they were mounted on mannequins. The other side had some basic weapon racks holding 8 weapons, including two spears, a large battle axe, a bow and four swords of differing lengths.
B1 was permitted to take one set of armour and one weapon, naturally she began to pick them out.
In the end she selected a large set of red armour but the strange thing is that as soon as it touched her body it shrunk to fit her figure.
This was quite a common piece of Pseudo-Artifacts, it's called the Flaming Terror Armour.
It originates from a Rank A Organisation, the Flaming Tyrants, and it is the failed product of the Artifact set of Armour they are named after, the Flaming Tyrant Armour.
After the production of the Flaming Tyrant Armour fails it produces the Flaming Terror Armour which is then sold to the public for relatively cheap. After all, it is a failed product.
However it is still powerful, it can defend a full strength blow from someone in the same rank as the user. Or multiple weaker blows!
As for the weapon, in the end B1 picked the only longbow that was mounted there. It has no special ability like most Pseudo-Artifacts, but it is still an incredibly powerful bow. It can shoot through a stone wall a metre thick with no issues!
However B1 was distressed when she noticed that there were no arrows to go with it, the best she could do was get some basic metal arrows after leaving the treasury.
Samuel watched B1's choices with satisfaction, actually he was quite hopeful for B1 with the benefits of the Minor Daughter of Luck.
Soon the next Youth Tournament happened, previously it was cancelled due to the Racial War, but it was put back on with better prizes! After all the governments became much richer after the successful defence of the city.
This prize this time is still a Golden Nectar apple and the proceedings were the same except for one thing. Rank F organisations that participated in the war were allowed to send 2 participants this time.
So Samuel Sent both A32 and B1, according to his age this will be the final competition that A32 will be allowed to participate in. But Samuel is confident that he should at least come in the top 3 if not top 2.
However Samuel just hoped B1 could come in the top 20, after all she is still young. He just sent her out to get some battle experience.
This time ten Dogs of War Accompanied A32 and B1, A1 led the way.
A32 easily won his first match against a random Rank F Organisation Descendant. However, B1 struggled against her first opponent.
B1 stood heroically on the large platform, her hair flowing with the wind as the red armour perfectly matched her body.
She held a long bow in her hand but her fingers were slightly trembling now as they held the bowstring.
If you looked closely you could see a faint redness appearing on her panting face as sweat fell down her forehead.
However her opponent wasn't great either, on the opposite side was a teenage girl looking around 16. She was definitely beautiful herself with long black hair flowing down the crook of her back.
But she had a noticeable trail of blood flowing down her leg, originating from a large cut by her kidney.
This is where B1 successfully skimmed her skin with her arrow.
