"Alright, alright, it's nothing serious, just a little outing. You should head back now and drink the miracle drug to get so rest." Colton said, appearing sowhat impatient.
He waved his hand, signaling Charles to leave.
Charles didn't press further and turned to exit the wooden cabin.
Once Colton saw Charles's figure disappear from view, the relief and nonchalance on his face quickly shifted to heaviness.
The situation was actually not as simple as he had described. Over ti, even if Charles didn't actively think about it, those images would still influence him spontaneously.
"Sigh, this is the downside of having such high talent. In a sense, it's a disaster!" Colton lanted.
He hadn't expected Charles's spiritual sensitivity to be even higher than he had imagined!
It was as if fate had arranged for Charles to encounter a "familiar"!
Colton recalled what Charles had ntioned. That eighth-level Beast Master from last night was undoubtedly so indescribable being's "familiar." and it had a certain connection to the tentacle he had seen in the secret chamber!
If the timing had been different, or if it had been a different "familiar." the situation wouldn't have been so severe.
The reason Colton had to leave for a week was that he needed to help Charles find a way to suppress it!
"By the way, I need to notify Ezra about this, his irresponsibility as a teacher is unacceptable!" Colton felt a surge of anger at the thought.
Although he understood that Ezra had important matters to attend to, as Charles's Beast Mastery teacher, he had never even shown up in Calivia!
Without any delay, Colton sent Ezra the information about Charles.
Then he quickly packed a few things and left GenoshaCalivia under the cover of night.
...
On the other side, Charles returned to his dormitory. After a quick wash-up, he followed Colton's instructions and downed the "special suppression miracle drug" in one gulp.
In an instant, he felt ntally lighter, and his entire being beca more free.
After sleeping soundly until the next morning,
Charles, as usual, had breakfast and then headed to the classroom.
"Good morning, Charles." Camilla greeted him first, and Charles responded briefly.
The morning classes started quickly and ended just as fast.
Zachary and Camilla followed Charles out of the classroom. As they stepped outside, they saw a large crowd approaching them.
Charles frowned and instinctively thought about using the "darkness cloak" to leave the area.
Unexpectedly, Zachary spoke up, "Charles, those should be royal people. It looks like they're here to present you with a dal!"
"Charles, I asked Father about it yesterday. Besides the first-level honorary dal, there are other rewards too." Camilla said with a smile, clearly wanting to keep the specifics a surprise for Charles.
Hearing Camilla's words sparked his curiosity, despite his initial urge to leave with the "darkness cloak."
In no ti, the crowd reached Charles and surrounded him.
The people parted automatically,
A tall, imposing middle-aged man dressed in lavish clothing slowly approached Charles, drawing everyone's gaze.
As he walked, he recounted the contributions Charles had made.
When he was about two ters away from Charles, he finished his speech, and his tone softened.
Looking at Charles with admiration, he spoke:
"Mr. Charles, it's a great honor to personally present you with this dal. Allow to introduce myself, my na is Avery Bai , and I am Camilla's uncle."
Charles didn't know who Avery Bai was, but he understood that since he was Camilla's uncle, he must be a direct brother of the Emperor of Genosha, if not at least a prince!
He was surprised that a prince was the one here to award him the dal!
In front of many witnesses from Cyber Academy, as well as nurous dia reporters, Charles completed the award ceremony!
But that wasn't all.
Avery Bai continued to speak to Charles, "In addition to the first-level honorary dal from Genosha, you also have the opportunity to enter the royal treasury to select equipnt, along with a reward of fifty gold coins!"
As soon as the words left his mouth, the crowd erupted in astonishnt and began to discuss among themselves:
"A first-level honorary dal isn't enough? He also gets a chance to enter the royal treasury! Damn, I'm so envious!"
"Normally, a single honorary dal would be sufficient for what Charles has done. Why is the reward so generous now?"
"Am I the only one drooling over those fifty gold coins? That's fifty gold coins! I've never even seen that much!"
" too! My family is wealthy, but I've never laid eyes on fifty gold coins!"
"Getting to enter the royal treasury to select equipnt isn't as exaggerated as you think, there are so many items inside that it's easy to pick so fairly ordinary gear."
"Why don't you ntion that there are orange-quality items inside? Those are orange-quality items!"
"There are only a few orange-quality items. Will Charles really be that lucky?"
As Charles listened to the voices around him, he felt particularly at ease. When it ca to selecting equipnt, he had absolutely no difficulty!
Ordinary people needed to identify the material, craftsmanship, usage, and so on of the equipnt,
but Charles only needed to look at the information prompts in front of him. As long as there were orange-quality items in the royal treasury, they would certainly not escape his notice!
The first-level honorary dal was an honor reserved for heroes, it was an honor that many would fight for but never obtain!
Charles didn't care about that. What intrigued him the most was the royal treasury, especially since obtaining orange-quality equipnt was a challenge, even for him.
"Charles, you don't have anything planned for noon, do you?" Avery Bai asked.
Charles thought for a mont, Xavier would likely be delivering the "black gold long knife" around that ti, but he could ask Teacher Hale to receive it for him, so it should be fine.
"I don't have anything planned." Charles replied.
Avery Bai stated directly, "That's perfect! There's no need to open the royal treasury again. It just so happens that there are others who need to enter the royal treasury at noon, which saves us so trouble."
"Others?" Charles repeated.
Avery Bai explained, "Yes, besides you, there are two other people who need to enter the royal treasury, and one of them you know."
Charles thought carefully, he didn't know many people in GenoshaCalivia, and none of them fit the criteria.
Under the envious and jealous gazes of the crowd,
Charles followed Avery Bai out of Cyber Academy, and the two made their way to the palace.
On the way, Charles sent a ssage to Hale, briefly explaining the situation and asking him to collect the "black gold long knife."
Hale replied to the ssage instantly. He reassured Charles and reminded him,
that the royal treasury is divided into an outer treasury and an inner treasury. There's no significant difference in the quantity of equipnt, but most of the truly rare and high-quality gear is located in the inner treasury.
No one knows that Charles can see the information prompts, and for him, entering the royal treasury to select equipnt is incredibly easy.
Following Avery Bai deeper into the palace, after passing through several checkpoints,
Charles finally arrived at the legendary entrance to the royal treasury. There were already two people waiting there.
One of them was soone Charles recognized, it was David Zheng, who had dueled him at the Robinson family banquet!
He didn't expect David Zheng to also have the opportunity to enter the royal treasury to select equipnt. But upon reflection, it made sense, soone like David Zheng, a warrior serving the country and fighting bravely, would naturally have such an opportunity.
As for the other individual, Charles had no recollection of him, clearly soone he hadn't t before.
"Charles!" David Zheng waved his hand, looking sowhat excited.
During the duel at the Robinson family banquet, it was a situation he had to face. At that ti, David Zheng had just returned from the battlefield and needed to seek the Taylor family's help for certain matters.
To that end, he had even followed Zane around, driving him around and carrying things, which led to his duel with Charles.
David Zheng had thought that after losing the duel, his prospects were bleak, but to his surprise, General Mason had heard about it and extended a helping hand.
Charles responded to David Zheng, as he held a certain respect for warriors who protect their holand.
That was also why, during their duel, even though he could have killed David Zheng, Charles chose to spare him.
"Alright, enough chit-chat. Ti is tight, and soon you will enter the royal treasury to select equipnt. There are a few things you need to be aware of." Camilla said, pausing briefly before outlining the requirents:
"Each person can only bring out one piece of equipnt. Every item inside has a tracking device, so don't harbor any fantasies."
"The treasury is divided into the inner and outer sections. Currently, only Charles is qualified to enter the inner treasury. Don't cross the line, there will be people watching."
"You have only one hour. If you don't co out within that ti, it will be considered a voluntary forfeiture, and you will lose your qualification."
Charles, David Zheng, and the stranger nodded, understanding the requirents.
Avery Bai wasted no ti and directly opened the door to the royal treasury, allowing the three of them to enter.
As soon as they stepped inside, David Zheng and the stranger were stunned by the scene before them.
In the enormous treasury, various pieces of equipnt were scattered across the floor, and rows upon rows of shelves were filled with even more gear.
Moreover, in the inner treasury, display cases showcased items that appeared exceptionally powerful!
"Charles, I really envy you for being able to enter the inner treasury and pick out items. I just want to find one top-notch blue piece, as for purple or orange ones, I can't even dare to think about them." David Zheng whispered.
Charles patted him on the shoulder and said, "Dream big, I'll help you keep an eye out when I have ti. After all, the blood you've shed and the injuries you've endured on the battlefield deserve better gear!"
"Hmph, what are you bragging about? You, a re commoner, can tell what's good and what's bad?" the stranger suddenly interjected.
