Chapter 114 Finding The Better Cursed Artifacts
"Okay." Maria gave the book to Keith so silently stared at it before looking at her with a wry smile, "Um, I don\'t think I have anything to write with. We can go to the artifact storage room and on the way, we could probably get a pen or something."
Hearing Keith\'s words, Maria nodded and walked out of the room with him right behind her. On the way, she asked a servant to get her a pen and told the servant to knock on the door of artifact storage room.
Keith silently walked behind her and entered the artifact storage room. It was very large. Larger than the room he had been in a few minutes ago. There were various artifacts placed on platforms every five meters along with a note that explained how they worked.
He silently walked, reading the contents of each and every message that described the cursed artifacts. Once he was done with 10 cursed artifacts, he heard a knock on the door.
Maria, who was already standing guard at the door, took the pen and brought it to Keith.
"Thanks." he said and sat down on the floor before opening the book. He then looked up at her and smiled, "Could you move to the other side please?"
"..... okay." she said, sounding slightly sad but Keith didn\'t care. \'Seraphina will just tell her what I asked anyways, so this entire thing is just pointless.\'
With a sigh, he began to write a question on the paper.
Tell me if Clara Glynov and Keith Zenister will have any problems in our relationship in the future. Also, do you know who the god of systems is, and which two artifacts in this room will help me out the most?
It was three different questions, all of them asked for different purposes but Keith wasn\'t afraid of going insane as the only way to trigger the power of the book, was by using a "?"
The moment he finished writing his questions, the ink seeped into the paper and words began to form.
{I cannot ascertain the future, but based on the mental psyche of both the couple, there is a higher chance of Keith Zenister leaving her compared to her leaving him. His departure will not be from hate of any negative feeling but due to the need to keep her safe.}
{Sorry, but I do not know about any gods.}
{The artifacts that will help you the most, are the Blind Eye Patch and Psychic\'s Emerald Pendant.}
Keith read all of the answers and nodded to himself, satisfied with the answers.
\'No future sight and it doesn\'t have the ability to gather information on anything related to divinity or gods. I\'m technically not a god yet, so it can still talk about me but if people ask about the god of systems or anything related to my system, I\'m sure that they won\'t able to get many answers.\' he thought as he got back up and gave the book back to Maria.
He then looked around the room, not leaving a single artifact behind as he read about each and every one of them without fail. As he did this, he did find the Blind Eye Patch and the Psychic\'s Emerald pendant, but he let them stay where they were as he moved on to the other items.
It took him almost an hour to read through every single description and once he was done, even he was surprised on how accurate the book was.
There were many cursed artifacts, but the truly strong ones were weapons which he was not allowed to take. Among the non weapon type cursed artifacts, it was only these two that caught his eye.
Psychic\'s Emerald Pendant was an item that increased a person\'s mental energy the more they wore it, but the more they wore this cursed item after a certain point, the user would have their memory degraded, similar to Alzheimer.
\'The negative effect can be neutralized by taking it off and wearing it in regular timed intervals, but it also mentally effects the wearer, making them reluctant to take it off.\' he thought as he picked it up and looked at Maria who nodded, signalling that he could take it.
As he moved towards the eye patch\'s location, he stared at the pendant in his hand, \'I\'ll just give it to Caleb and tell him to wear before sleeping. Once he comes to work, I\'ll take it off him and this way his memory won\'t be degraded.\'
Once he got close to the Blind Eye Patch, he read the description once again.
Experience exclusive tales on empire
(Blind Eye Patch: Automatically sticks to the eye, blinding it. As long as this is worn, the user will have access to heightened senses and reaction time.)
It was a simple description which didn\'t really seem to have any negative effects at first glance, but anyone would be able to figure out what the problem was if they read it the second time at least.
\'So blindness in one eye in exchange for heightened senses and reaction time. A great trade actually.\' he thought and grabbed it too. It was basically just a circular cushion and it did not have any threads attached to it.
He turned to look at Maria and she nodded once again, after which he directly brought it close to his left eye and the moment it made contact with is eyelid, it immediately stuck to his eye.
\'Wow... I can\'t even see the redness that I normally see when I close my eyes while I\'m in a bright room.\' he thought as he looked straight at the oil lamp that was emitting a lot of light.
